EIGHT MEDfOHD MAIL TRIBUNB Tutsdiy. Dee. IS, 1844 Your Health and Its Care : BY DR WILLIAM BRADY. M. D. Rsadars ibould addrts Inqulriet tot Di WUllam Brady , . 166 El Camlao. Beverly Hilla. Calif. THE COLOR. Human hair color Is one or an- other thade of brown. That 1. the pigment which determines nair coior, iikc the" pigment which deter mines skin'col or and eye col or, is b r o w n. period. r.lt is the amount of this 'i br pigment in the hair that de terminal whether the hair appears Or Brady light or darK In hue. So-called "black" hair, Ilka "black" skin or "black" eyes contains the most pigment, but still the pigment Is brown. Blond hair rontains the least pig ment. Persons having the least pigment In the iris (color ring around central black pupil) are "blue eyed," but one with no pigment at an in tne iris is pin eyed (albino), because the pink or reddish hue of the blood in the vessels in the interior of the eye shows through. Incidentally all babies (except albinos) have blue eyes at birth: .permanent coloration of the eyes does not take place until the baby is five or six weeks old. ' .' i Red hair-is brown hair that happens to contain less air glob tiles In the cortex or outer layer of the. shaft to darken the ap pearance of the pigment an In dividual "red" hair examined under the microscope Is Just brown like all human hair. .'. ; The hair of albinos (persons born with congentlal lack of pig ment) have pure white hair. 1 Many persons begin to turn gray before 30, and few reach SO without some graying of the hair, praying is more noticeable In persons with dark hair color. That graying is not due to loss or removal of pigment from 'the balr seems evident from the ob servation that graying takes place first close to the scalp and only after the hair has grown to Its full length does it become en tirely gray. The graying is due to failure of nutrition, failure of the blood to supply what it takes to make the pigment. We'll con sider presently whether there is anything one can do about it. Hair that has turned "white" ObtemtioBt After far far too long a time, Private Buck', has been heard from again. Those of ybu who have followed this column will recall how ' persistently cheerful he has always been. This 4etter has a thread of gravity running through It. foreign to his other letters. The letter is -headed -"Marianas Is lands." I'm further from home than I ever want to be again. I hope this war will be over soon, go I can come home but from what we sea and know, that won't be for a long time. Until a person actually sees the tre mendous amount of material and labor necessary ' out here, it's Impossible to realize what Is going on. The radio and papers painting their pictures ot words seem always to want a pretty picture Of course no one likes to look at a dull and ugly pic ture so I won't tell you too much about how conditions are. "We live In a Jungle and as this Is the rainy season it is a sea of mud. It doesn't Just rain here. It deluges. This morning to wash my hands and face, I just cupped my hands out the tent door and had plenty of water. I could have accom plished almost the same thing Inside as no tent can keep out that much water We covered the floor of our tent with coral. Mosquitoes and flies are very thick. Some of the mosquitoes are the kind that carry (he wrote a word here I can't declper). A mm ai'KUlAl.lST'B CHOICE I tins fnmnli snt as by Thorntoe A Minor Cllnle.

Or THE HAIR lg gray hair in which there are less air globules no ainerence in color under the microscope but more air globules in the darker hair. Purely fanciful and hearsay are tales of hair turning gray or white over night" from some treat : shock or sorrow such yarns belong in the category of the hero or heroine of the ro mantic novel of the early Vic torian era who developed "brain fever" when the going became too torrid, and the whisper passed about by the woman with a scandal . to conceal, that a negro child was -born to white people because there happened to be a drop of negro blood con tributed by some errant fore bear. These things never happen, but they make such interesting conversation. Casual observers sometimes notice how gray or white the hair of an old acquaintance has turned since last they met and perhaps draw inferences if the acquaintance has suffered some tragic loss, disregarding the time that has passed in the in terim. ... QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Healthy Children Our two girls, raised on "Preparing for Maternity" and "The Brady Baby Book," are grand specimens of healthy active children. Our family doctor says .he has yet to find "Or Doc Brady" wrong and what's more, he says, ''Ol' Doc Brady Is a couple of lumps ahead of the march most of the time." (Mrs. A. M. R.) - Answer Young couples contemplat ing going Into the baby business had better' begin right send two dimes (without glue, sticker tape, string, wire, staples, rlvats. Scotch tape, gum) and stamped pre-addressed envelope and ask for booklets "Preparing for Matarnlty" and "Brady Baby Book." Young husbands: Greetings. Prepara tion, for the coming of the baby Is Just as much your personal concern as It your wife's. If you are a man you'll stay right with her In all study and in all prenatal treatment. When the baby cornea you'll be right with her. not outside playing the role of stooge. Arthritis For six -rears have hMn vrv stiff and sore in neck, back and hips.

It lasts for about 10 days and while very disagreeable, has no lastine effects. ; 'Rats are plentiful and are in and out and on too of the tent all night.' There are lots of little llzxards. Some have Ijrlght blue tails. One of them slept with me list night; at least ha was in my bed this morning. ' . '. "The boys know that If they are to receive letters, they must write some,, yet It's hard to have anything to write about when you stay on just a .few acres. Some that write only a letter a month are the first in line at mail call. It takes an awful lot of spirit and an awful lot of hope to keep going out here. "We had a light earthquake recently. I was reaching for a cup at the time and it wasn't where I reached." Always the cry in every letter I get from- a service man is for letters and more letters. Write to the boys you know whether they answer or not. That's what I have resolved to do. STEEL INDUSTRY E Washington, Dec. 12 (U.R) The steel industry charged to day that concessions granted the United Steel Workers (CIO) by the War Labor Board vio lated the government's stabili zation program and called on the WLB for a reconsideration of the steel wage case. The WLB said in announcing its recent decision that the ad justments Involved would not break the little steel wage cell ing. The union won mainten ance of membership, dues check off, shift differentials. Increased vacation pay, and adjustment of alleged wage Inequities. Chairman John A. Stephens or tne steel Industry research committee said the WLB order imposed a serious financial bur den on the 70 companies. He said they would accept dues checkoff and maintenance of membership but would press tor revisions of the others. RiMEDirs roe stomach ulcers Httrt Rhtun turn Asthma Catarrh Ptlat.

W. Engstrom, research director of RCA laboratories, said today at the first convention of the Tele vision Broadcasters association. 'Television' left the research 'lab' and .entered .the stage of practical application even before the war," Engstrom said. "Now, technically, the stage Is set and ready." Walter R. O. Baker, vice president of the General Electric company, predicted close coop eration between television and other entertainment industries. "The show business already is being attracted to television," he said, and television programs other than entertainment will include education and a new and totally different advertising ap proach.
