Few diseases of the hair known as
parasitical cause It to fall out. A
microsople parasite enters the halr
folllclle and destorvs the hair-bulb so
that the hair falls out. There Is some
difference of opinion as to the cause
of hair falling out when It Is simple
a case of calling hair not due to any
parasitical disease. I bel'eve that It
Is always due to a depressed condition
of the nervous system. The hair has
very little vital connection with the
skin. The halr-folllcile is like a cis
tern. with a large, bulging Interior and
small opening at the top. The hair
bulb fits more or less perfectly Into
this cistern-shaped cavity The bulb
ous end of the hair beln-r larger than
the opening of the hair-follicle, holds
It to Its place. Everything depends
upon the elasticity of the skin. Any
flabbiness of the skin will Immediately
cause the narrow opening of the hilr
folllcle to dllatp and allow the hair to
slip out of Its place. Not only this,
lowered vital states will also cause the
hair to shrink, and the bulbous ex
tremity of the hair becomes smaller,
and It will slip out of Us place. Fall
lag hair always depends upm a low
ered state of vitality of that portion
of the skin that covers the scalp Tn
dor life, business worry, neglect of
muscular development, the wearing of
a tight hat that compresses the arteries
of the temples and many other causes
bring this about. Going bareheaded
massaging the scalp, and other hvgUn
Ic measure which tends toward In
creasing the vitality of the whole body,
is the only treatment.
Do not wet the hair with anything.
Never use hair tonics of any sort upon
it. Do not wash It with water. Keep
It cut short which exposes the hair
less to pulls which forcibly drag the
hair out of its follicle. In rubbing the
hair It should not be pulled.
With the use of a good bristle brush
the whole scalp can be thoroughly
treated. If much outdoors wear a
suft-brlmmed hat, that exerts no pres
sure on the sides of the head. Indoors
omit the hat, or nothing heavier than
the lightest sort of a skull cap. Dand
drulf Is caused by the same thing that
causes falling hair. There Is being
constantly exfoliated from the scalp.
Invisible epidermal scales. Scale*
small and transparent. In dandruff, a
large number of these Invisible scales
are agglutinated together, forming a
scab of considerable size. Under the
tnlscroscope each one of these pieces
Is divisible Into many hundred small
scales, which are simply the epider
mal scales. There Is nothing wrong
this exfoliation. It should go on con
tinuously; but the difficulty Is that
these scales agglutinate, or stick to-;
gether, forming a mass. The cause
of this Is u deranged condition of the
-lands of the sk.n which secrete the
Jil of the skin. Ordinarily, this oil Is
■ ery thin, and ot sticky In character,
It keeps the skin soft and pliable.
A henever the skin becomes flabby or
bloodless, or the nerves of the skin
deranged, then the oil-glands fall to
do their work properly and secrete a
viscid quality of oil which causes the
epidermal scales to stock together andj
to form masses that are visible to the
eye or dandruff. It depends upon the
same condition that causeti falling hair.
Often dandruff Is not associated with
falling hair, and It sometimes happens'
hat falling hair is not associated with
dandruff. But when they are asso
ciated they doubtless both depend
upon a devitalized condition of the
kin covering the scalp. By discon
tinuing the use of liquids and hair
‘onics curing the diseases of the rest
f the body and vigorously rubbing thei
scalp with hrush and Angers. the l
dandruff will disappear.
Lunches for School Ch'ldren.
* Anxious mother writes asking about
school children's lunches:
The question of Just what the lunch!
for the child going to school Is one
that Just now puzzles many an anxious
mother. What It shall consist of. Just
what articles of food are most whole
some and other dietary details Inter
est the parents. Anything jthat Is
tasty, nourishing and well cooked Is
propert and range of foods lies with
the parents and their condition in life
Sandwiches of lightly buttered bread
and any kind of meat, fruit Jams, light
cake, ripe fruit, like apples and ban
anas, occasionally hard boiled eggs,
lettuce and egg salad. An Important
fact to be observed Is to change the'
articles In the lunch and vary the hill
of fare as you would the meals at
home. Children tire of the same ar ,
ticles of diet every day as well as full
giowns even If they are hungry and
healthy.

Winlfrld writes: What Is the value'
of cold water sa a medicine?
Answer: Water is one of the great
est aids In medicine. Internal bathing
las saved thousands In cases of fever,
auto-lntoxlcatlon and constipation.
Tot water externally has Its many uses
such as sprains, etc. Cold water is
i an auxilitary In the form of baths,
effusion, or wet sheets, reduces pre
' ternatural heat. Where it has a dou
ble Influence: First, It contracts the
capillaries most speedily, thoroughly
' and effectually; secondly. It directly
; abstracts heat from the over-heated
body, and so prevents destructive
changes.
For this purpose patients may be
i kept In teped or cold water many
! hours during an attack of typhoid, i
scarlet, or other fevers. This practice
Id quite In vogue In Germany. It re
| duces fever. It soothes pain, quiets
I restlessness, and makes way for re
covery. Wonderful success has fol
lowed this practice. Brand, of Stettin ;
Germany, cured one hundred and
seventy cases of typhus fever In sue- ^
cession with It. Over sixty patients
with typhoid fever have been saved |
recently in Mt. Sinai Hospital, New1
York, with a loss of but a single pa
tlent.
