NI Always remember this fact about your hair: If there is any condition of your hair you want to improve, if it hasn't enough life and gloss, if there is dandruff or too much oil, never forget that the condition of your hair depends on the condition of your scalp. How to keep the scalp healthy To keep the scalp healthy and active, shampoo your head regularly in the fol- lowing Rub your scalp fully five minutes with the tips of your fingers to loosen the dandruff and dead skin. Then apply a hot lather of Woodbury’s Facial Soap and rub it in, rub it in, rub it in. Rinse thoroughly in gradually cooler water, having the final water really cold. Dry perfectly, then brush gently for some time. The formula for Woodtury’s Facial Soap is the worl: of an authority on the skin and hair.

Don't return goods unless there has been a mistake on the part of the store. “The Auditing Department,” con- tinues the association, “is caused a great deal of trouble and expense on account of the returned goods. .. . This cost is either taken from the wages of the girl who sells you the goods or it is added to your bill in other ways.” We wonder why this apparently philanthropic association, the president of which is Miss Anne Morgan, in- stead of instructing the customers, does not offer its advice to the depart- ment stores? For example, why not issue a cor- responding circular to the managers of the department stores containing the following : Do not encourage your customers to open charge accounts by dis- . ¢riminating against those who pay cash, in two ways; first, by making them feel that they are not quite so good as a charge customer; second, by taking their time while vaiting for change. When you are unable to devise a system whereby you practically make it necessary for customers to have things sent on approval, do not make your own employees pay for your lack of brains, and, in addition, seek to blame it on the customer. Anyone who has had the experience of paying cash for goods in large de- partment stores knows that, aside from the trouble and obvious loss of time, there is a subtle discrimination in favor of charge customers, based upon a well-known law of human nature. Anyone who has paid cash for some- thing and afterwards has attempted to exchange it knows how much more difficult this process is that when it has been charged. So long as the system in department stores is delib- erately calculated to encourage people to run into debt to them, they should be charged with the consequences, and not the saleswoman or the customers. The Department Store Education As- sociation is miewing up the wrong tree. Ti ‘ew York public schools are introducing a new subject; pupils are going to be taught how to buy food for the table. But how are you going to do this if you haven't the money? This is Francis | inCellini’s S tudio No manever lived a more interesting life or wrote of it more interestingly than Cellini. His dealings with kings and princes, his love affairs, his street fights with his rivals—all this he tells with a frankness that takes your breath away. And back of it all you see the glitter and glare, the licentiousness and violence of the great dramas of the Middle Ages. Do you know what four autobiographies out of all the autobiographies in the world are most worth reading? Dr. Charles W. Eliot, from his sixty years of reading, study and teaching—forty years of it as president of one of the world’s greatest universities—has chosen the four autobiographies that best picture the times in which their writers lived. These he has united with the few really worth-while his- tories, poems, dramas, works of science, philosophy and religion that a well-read man should know. Grouped together, in- dexed and edited with expert skill, these great works are celebrated as THE FAMOUS FIVE-FOOT SHELF OF BOOKS 418 great works at only a few cents apiece To-day you can begin to know all that is truly worth while knowing in all literature.
