BOYS FOR HOUSEWORK.

A significant sign of the times, says-an English paper, is the increasing employment of men and boys for domestic, duties which, were formerly considered to be entirely women's work. However, it .has been growing' more' and - more apparent that .women will' not,.qualify for or take .up domestic employment. Women 6eem to want to get away from -house-culture and'-fight side by side by, men, and simultaneously with their revolt from what we must call domesticity, comes a movement on the- part of the other, sex 'to. qualify themselves for the 'work from which, women are turning aside. It is now possible to get all spring-cleaning done by men, and, low be it spoken, the work is more thoroughly carried out-than it has been done by female servants assisted by the garrulous, greedy, and none .too energetic "char-lady." Furthermore, lads are now being trained, and with conspicuous success, to do daily work at houses. They are found. especially useful by dwellers in flats, and both as cooks and as house"maids,"' boys who have been properly trained do their work far more thoroughly than their sisters of the same age; Anyone who has . tried men'; in domestic capacities other than those usually filled by them in a household invariably maintain that they work more' efficiently and more quickly than women.

If your hair "falls out" when it is brushed, there is proof of malnutrition; if it comes out in patches there is evidence of disease. Science 'has so far discovered just one perfect stimulant and antidote—John Strange Winter's Hair Food. It is always efficacious. By its use, any man or woman whose hairroots are not absolutely dead,can obtain beautiful and luxuriant growth. It has a delicious but not obtrusive fragrance, and is delightfully cooling to the scalp.
