THE QUESTION OF HAIR. No question Is more frequently asked than how to bring a good growth of hair on a bald or burnod spot In almost all cases it is a hopelos6 task. But where a few hairs remain, to prove that the roots are not entirely dead, there is hope If people would use electricity lo stimulate the hair rather than to remove re-move It, the result would be far more satisfactory. Nothing is more likely to revive the dormant bulbs of tho hair than a weak current applied twenty minutes daily, after washing and drying tho bald spot There Is good evidence to show that people who live in a freezing tempera ture for months at a time, such as Norway and Sweden have wonderful hair, luxuriant and healthy Which proves that cold Is beneficial to the growth of hair. Even people who are bald and have been for years can grow a luxuriant crop of hair by staying a year or two in the far north Some medical men believe that the extreme cold climate freezes the germs which destroy hair, thus leaving leav-ing it lo grow freely. It seems a marvelous thing that the majority of women have fine hair, when we hear of the treatment the poor hairs arc obliged to endure. One woman wrote me that she had fine hair until a yoar ago. when she washed if In pure ammonia, because some one told her It would make the hair brighter Of course the strong caustic ruined the hair, and It will all have to grow out afresh and the burned ends cut off. The safest wash for hair is the yolk of an egg rubbed Into the scalp, then washed off in ten minutes with pure enstile soap and water No harm can ever come from that treatment Remember Rather treat what you have of health kindly than destroy It by artificial means Grape Fruit Cock tr. I I Most of the so called grape fruit salads may be used as "beginners. ' One of the. attractive ways of pre paring either the salad or the "be- glnuer" Is to cut the fruit In two, spoon out the pulp of each section Into an earthen or glass dish, add the necessary sugar to sweeten (the less the belter), and two tablespoons of sherry wine to one large grape fruit, or not, as one pleases. This amount enhances the flavor of the fruit, but sinks its own flavor out of sight. Any more than this will be observable in the flavor of the cock tall. This coektnil may be served in a short stemmed small klnss. set In a lung stemmed glass filled with shaved ice and garnished to tast Th most common garnishing is a candled cherry, cher-ry, whole or cut up. Other candied fruits are used and they are usually cut up and soaked In a few drops of wine. Another way to serve this cocktail Is to put the pulp back into half the shell of small grape fruit or an orango skin, either one of which should first be soaked in ice water. In the latter case use a little of the orange pulp as a garnish or thin sli ces of preserved kumquats. Grape Fruit Cocktail II. Cut grape fruit in half, take out the 6eeds, and cut out the hard cen ter with a special knlfo for this pur pose, which does belter work than a common knife. Loosen the pulp around the outside edge, sprinkle or cover with the desired amount of sugar, su-gar, fill the center with any fruit srup that will blend well with the grape fruit, and set away to chill. A quince syrup ( tried) is delicious with this and pretty. An orange srup of good color is nice, so is a cherry and perhaps a cranberry' syrup (uot tried i would be as good as It would be pretty It would need be an extremely ex-tremely sweet 6yrup. made with it least the same quantity of sugar as cranberry juice and perhaps a little more Grape fruits cut open and exposed to the air as they are In many public places, without being protected wit) sugar and kept cold, lose much of their best qunlitv Alligator Pear Cocktail One alligator pear, one-half pint tomato catsup, one teaspoon Worcestershire Worces-tershire sauce, six drops, of tabasco, the juice of one lemon, one tablespoon chutney pickle, one paltspoon salt (6ne-fourth taspooni The alligator pear should be cut In dice with a silver sil-ver knife else It will blacken. Mix all together and serve in cocktail Klusses This makes enough for 8 cocktails. nn |
