Yellow Tint to White Hair
To the Editor o iFom on'a Pane:
Dear Madam Can lou tell ma hnw in ra-
move tho uoaurhtly yellow tint from white
hatrT And how should white hair be
washed?
The hair In question la very fine and
nothing but borax haa ever been uaed. Th
enow snaue ia more pronounced at some
.tmes than othsra and I can give no eaus.
(Mrs.) II. II. II.
A very small amount of bluelnir nut In
the water Is said to remove the yellow
tint from hair. Too much borax makes
the hair brittle. A shampoo made of
pure- white caatlle soap Is the best for
white hair. The tinted soaps will leave
the hair yellow. Mlmply shave the sojp
Into hot water and make a, suds In thu
way. Never rub the soap directly on
the head. Add the blue to the rinsing
water.

By J. II. KELLOGG, M. D., hl. D.
WALKING Is r.ot only a means ot
getting somewhere it Is also a
recreation a recreation, and a valuable
remedy for various disorders constipa
tion, obesity, cte.
One who gets no walking in the open
grows "stale."
Notice what a great health asset the
hikes, tho drilling and the open-sir life
have been for tho young men who are
In our training camps. This all Involves
footwork.
And because the burden of walking
and nearly all our voluntary physical
activity falls on the feet, one can readily
understand the Importance of foot
health.
It Is a poor kind of workman who
deliberately blunts and breaks the tools
which he needs for Important work when
he knows he cannot replace them, when
he knows that to use the damaged tools
will cause long, drawn-out suffering.
In a natural, powerful and unhanij
pered gait tho feet are directly under
tho body, with the toes pointing straight
ahead.
The common unnatural gait, with the
weak and diseased feet and the fallen
arches that go with It. Is caused by sev
eral things, but chiefly by shoes that
distort and cramp the ftct.
Thero are cases of fiat foot In Utile
children, duo to delayed development of
some ot the bones of the feet: this has
been shown by radiograms. Such feet
must bo treated by an orthopedic sur
geon. Weak foot In children Is often
due also to excessive weight and to Ill
ness. I'rom early childhood, shoes are worn
from morning until bedtime, and chil
dren's feet are not fitted to shoes as
carefully as they should be. A child's
foot grows rapidly. I'arcnts forget this
and expect a child to wear his shoes
until they are worn out, even though
tho foot becomes too long for the shoe.
One reason why children's shoes wear
out fo quickly Is that thero Is not only
wear from the outside bui also wear on
the Inside as a result of tho feet trying
to push their way out of their cramped
quarters.
A representative of a shoe manufac
turing concern said recently that In fill
ing titclal orders for children's shoes
from foreign tountrles. an allowance Is
always made for the length of time In
transmitting the order and shipping the
shoes, so that the shoes will be suf
ficiently large for the child's growing
feet when they reach the customer.
Otherwise the shoes will be so small tho
child can not possibly wear them
In buying shoes for children, tako
care that they are long enough to allow
for normal growth of the foot during
tho life of the shoes and that they ate
broad enough so that no undue pressure
may be excited on the toe Joints. Avoid
so-called foot-tormina- or foot-shaping
shoes. lie sure that the shoes ou pro
vide for your little ones are eo shaped
as to allow nature to develop the foot
without hindrance.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Nervous While Asleep
My boy Is twalve jears old. When he la
aslsep Ihe muscles of arms nnd legs twitch
and Jerlc a sort of tremor every few mln-ut-s.
Whst ould cause this condition, as
he ts appsrently In good health and large
for his age? C o. 51.
He should have less nervous excite
ment, particularly toward bedtime. He
should have plenty of exercise; he
should not eat meat. He should bo
1aught to relax mentally, There Is no
radical difference between nervous ten
sion when asleep and when awake.
Sage Tea
fuiiUI -v ou tell ine how to make
and sulphur" tonic for the hair?
"sage tea
MAIUE.
The sage tea and sulphur combina
tions as advertised aro merely blinds for
the sale of a patent medicine. Sage
tea. and sulphur are not good as a hair
tonic. I ee soap and water, rubbing and
blushing.
Loose Teeth
I have three or lour teeth In the lower
Jaw whhh are loose. Thsy are not riecajed.
Have tried several drugstore rtmedle. Is
there anjthlnr that will til-Men them?
H. i:.
Ton havo pyorrhea. Drug-store reme
dies cost money and are useless. A good
dentist may be able to clean and treat
those teeth and therebv save 'them for

Cause of Fever Blisters
Will vou please tell tne the cause of so.
called "fever blisters." and bow can they
be prevented? Why do they usually come
around the mouth and alwajs on the face?
JANE II.
Fever blisters may occur on any part
of the body. They occur more ire
quently around the mouth than else
where. Fever blisters are found In
pneumonia, In bad colds duo to the
pneumococcus. In typhoid. In malaria
and In several other diseases.
Digestive disturbances cause them. It
a man has them without a definite die
ease or Infection tho probability Is that
the ciuse lies In tho digestive apparatus.
Too much food Is being eaten or the
food is not wisely chosen or the bowels
are not acting properly.
In such cases they ore to be prevented
by changing diet, by better adjusting
the food taken to the day's work and
by correcting Improper bowel habits.
