CURIOSITIES OF HAIR GROWTH Straight hair Is the longest known; wooly hair the shortest. The length is almost the same in both sexes in cer tain races having straight hair (Chinese, redskins), and also in the majority of races with curling hair; it Ij scarcely so among races with wav ing hair, in whom it is more or less manifestly longer in the female. The number of hairs is also very variable. A patient anatomist has counted 272 per square centimeter in a European. 252 to 286 in a Japanese, only 214 on the average in the Ainos, a race noted for its extreme pilosity. The number of hairs is also more numer ous in the blond-haired than among the black-haired or brown-haired. For example, 147 black hairs, 162 brown hairs and 182 blond hairs per square inch. —La Nature, Paris. Are You Worn Out?

"I was all run down and for months 1 had been suffering the torments of the nether regions from a large and vicious crop of boils and carbuncles." "They would swell up all over my body and I would no sooner get rid of one batch than another lot would make their presence felt. Life was really a burden to me for I was about as miserable as a man could be." "But thanks to the good advice of my wife I am now well rid of them all. She heard a lot about Tanlac as a system purifier and she started me In on it. And It sure did do the work for my boils began to fade away in a day or two and now I haven't even got one left' as a souvenir." "I feel about 100 per cent, better in every way and I give all the credit to Tanlac."

This preventable waste consists in larg part of the following items: Kdlblc Food Thsotvn Ana? That vast amounts pf nourishing material aro thrown out from Ameri can kitchens and so made useless for human consumption, is well establish ed by the returns from garbage and fertilizer plants showing the amount of fats and nitrogenous material re covered from city garbage. Much of the food is thrown eut, the specialists say, because so many pee? pie do not know how to utilize left-: overs or will not take the (rouble to keep and prepare them. The spe cialists point out that leftover ce : reals can be reheated or combined with fruits, meats, or vegetables into appetizing side dishes; that even a spoonful of cereal is worth saving as a thickener of soups, gravies and sauces. Stale bread can be utilized in a variety of ways In combination with vegetables and meats M l "} il prepar ing hot breads and puddings. Skim milk, too widely looked down upon as a food although it pentains practi cally all the nourishing elements of whole milk with the exception of the cream or fat, can be .used as a bever age, in cooking cereals, or as a basis for milk soups or sauces. Even sour milk, so largely thrown away, can be used in making hot breads or in the home manufacture of cottage pheese, Every scrap of mea| im- fish can be combined with cereals pr other foods lacking in pronounced flavor, both to give flavor and to add nourishment to made-over dishes, Every bit of fat or suet trimmed from meat before cook ing or tried out in boiling, roasting or broiling can be made useful in cook ing, Many butchers, after they have weighed meat and named the price for the cut, trim off valuable suet and fat, This fat which the housewife pays for, if taken home and used, would reduce expenditures for prepared cooking fats, Water used In cooking rice and many of the vegetables con tains nutrients and desirable flavoring materials valuable in soups or sauces. Too often fats and such water are poured Into the sink. Many persons regard the saving of small amounts of left-over food as un Important, It they kept accurate ac count, however, for any period, the specialists say, many families would be astounded by the amount of good food they are throwing out and by the sums that they are paying to the gro. cer, the butcher, and milkman merely to replace good food being absolutely wasted, Spoilage of food Important amounts of perishable foods are made dangerous or Inedible In households because they are expos- LOOK AT CHILD'S TONGUE IF SICK, CROSS, FEVERISH Hurry, Mother!

A. Gorgas, J. Nelson I Clark always carry it In stock. I ed unnecessarily to heat, germs, dust, dirt or to flies and other insects. Much milk spoils quickly because It ! 's kept uncovered In warm kitchens. Close observance of the doctrine "Keep j perishable food, especially milk, cool, J clean and covered continuously" may make a striking difference in the food bills of many families. In other cases, one or two vegetables, j beets or carrots, for instance, not need- I ed immediately, are thrown out or al- I lowed to spoil instead of being used in I soups or combination dishes. Fruits ! which could be stewed and kept are allowed to spoil. Vegetables and fruits in quantities often are stored in hot, | damp and poorly ventilated bins and I under conditions which hasten wilting, fermentation and decay. Fruits, sur plus beans, tomatoes and other vege tables produced in home gardens are allowed to spoil on the vines or rot on the ground. A morning's work would can and preserve such surplus age for use when fruits and vegetables are scarce and high in price. Much food is ruined by being stored where flies or other insects or rats i and mice can get at it. Much cereal food is ruined because it is not pro tected against weevils or other in sects. Food Spoiled by CareleftA Cooklnjc Many housewives who complain that j children and adults will not eat break- | fast cereals fail to realize that the cereals they serve are undercooked, scorched or improperly seasoned an<i thus made unpalatable. Most of the cheaper foods require car.eful season ing and preparation to be fully appe tizing. In many households the spe cialists believe proper attention to the cooking of these cheap and desirable foods will increase greatly their con sumption and thus reduce consider ably the use of more expensive foods eaten Instead of cereals. Vegetables properly prepared tempt the appetite. When they are served in soggy form or in watery or poorly fla vored dishes, much of them will be on the table. The nutritive value and flavor of meat or tlsh can be lessened by over-cooking or improper cooking. If fats are allowed to burn even a lit tle, they develop unpleasant flavors j and usually cause people to refuse gravies and sauces made with thein or foods fried in them; burned meat is also disagreeable as are burned vege tables. Waste In Preparation Much useful food gets into the gar bage pail because the housewife in preparing potatoes or other vegetables and fruit, such as apples, cuts off with the skin a considerable percentage of edible material. Careless paring of po tatoes may consign as much as 20 per cent, of the edible portion, includ ing outer layers containing mineral substances, to the garbage pail. Many persons are unaware that the green I and tender tops of many vegetables [ which contain valuable mineral and - 1 other food substances, are excellent ! cooked as greens, or even as additions to salads. Overuenerou* Serving of Food Many families take pride in serving lavish and overbountiful meals. Such meals lead Inevitably to waste of food on the table and to overeating, which often impairs health and efficiency. : The sane standard, "Eat enough food and no more," rigidly followed, would reduce greatly food bills In many homes and. at the same time, tend to. improve the physical condition of all members of the household. teat For Efficiency Housewives, interested In economy, who wish to be certain that their fam ilies are getting proper food and not too much, should ask the United States Department of Agriculture to send Farmers' Bulletin 808; "How to Select Foods—What the Body Needs." This bulletin classifles foods into simple household groups and shows the house wife how to plan meals that will pro vide for the growth and repair of the body and supply the energy the vari ous members of the household need for their special tasks. * Suggestions For the Control of Sweet Potato Diseass at Bedding Time Washington, D. C., April 6. Some i of the worst sweet potato diseases live from one season to the next in the soil and on the old decayed potatoes bedded for a previous crop, according to the specialists of the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture. For that reason it is essential that fresh soil or sand be used every year. Under no circum stances use soil for the hotbed from fields where sweet potatoes previously have been grown. Instead go into the woods, if possible, and throw ott six inches of tlie surface and take sub soil. Sand will do just as well. If soil cannot be obtained from the woods, it may be taken from a new field where sweet potatoes have not been grown before. • It is essential also that the frame work of the hotbed be disinfected by spraying with a solution made by adding one pint of formalin to 30 gal lons of water. Similar results may be obtained by whitewashing the frame work. Better still, spray with winter strength dime-sulphur solution. In the spring before being bedded the potatoes should be disinfected by immersing for from 5 to 10 minutes In a solution of corrosive sublimate, made by dissolving one ounce of the crystals to 8 gallons of water. This is a deadly poison. Use with great care. Treated seed should not be left where animals can reach it. Only wooden containers should be used for disinfection. After disinfection the po tatoes should be immediately rinsed in pure water and dried or bedded at once. Just enough of the solution should be put in the barrel or receptacle used for disinfecting to cover the quantity of potatoes to be immersed each time The solution should not be used more than three times, since It loses its strength and effectiveness upon re peated use. After the potatoes are disinfected, any showing evidence of disease! either on the surface or at the end should be thrown out. Frequently it is in these bruised, calloused, and de cayed Spots that the disease germs are concealed. It should be remembered that the disinfection is to kill the germs loose on the surface of the po tato and that the treatment does not kill the germs concealed in the de cayed, bruised and calloused spots on the surface and at the end.
