TALKS ON HEALTH,

BED AS A TONIC You are feeling wearied out, and want a tonic? Well, try going to bed tvro hours earlier than is your usual ' habit for a fortnight-. The extra rest, even if you do not actually sleep, is beneficial. It relaxes your nerves and your -wlole body to lie quiet on your back, and it aids digestion to rest quietly after a so you get all the goodness out of the food you hanßi swallowed.

There eoifies a time when you must accept the imwitable'; when once the root from which the hair grows is dead, no power (It) 'qarth will resuscitate the defunct liair. You cannot grow a hyacinth unless there is a bulb to grow it from. Baldness, especially when it runs in the family, may. occur very early in life, and it is often very difficult to overcome. Do not be deluded into thinking that a bald scalp can be covered with a luxuriant growth of hair. One of the commonest causes of falling of the hair is scurf. The best treatment is to wash the scalp with a solution of soft soap in recti lied spirit. Once or twice a week is often enough.
