and with a "snip" remove the eyes,
and cut into slices or suitable pieces,
sweeten water to suit the taste, then
boil until a thin syrup; then add the
pineapple and continue boiling until
you can pierce tho fruit with a straw.
Havo tho jars sterilized and hot, All
with the pineapplo while boiling hot,
then pour tho syrup into tho jar to
All all air-spaces. Seal and set away.
If preferred, tho pineapplo may be
grated before cooking and canning.
When canning tomatoes, after fill
ing the can, put a pinch of salt on
top of tho tomatoes when ready to
seal. This will help to preserve the
fruit, and to retain the flavor.
For the Toilet
Where tho hair is dry and brittle,
and can not bo made to stay in place,
a tonic for the scalp should be used,
rubbing it into tho scalp, not on the
hair. Then for a dressing to bo used
to keep the dry hair in place, use a
very little of tho following bril
liantine, just lightly touching the
hair with it. Put into a large bottle
three and one-half ounces of sweet
oil, four drams each of castor oil and
glycerine and threo drams of any
preferred extract for perfume; then
add enough grain alcohol to make it
eight ounces altogether. Shake well
before using, pour just a little into
the ,palm of tho hand, and lightly
stroke the hair with this. If the
health of the body is bad, tho hair
will show signs of it.
Equal parts of bay rum and castor
oil, well shaken before using, is
claimed to be one of the best and
safest hair-growers there is. Apply
to the scalp with the finger tips once
or twice a day. Enough will get on
the hair to keep it from being too
dry.
Dry, lifeless hair can only be cor
rected by the use of some oil or a
tonic that contains this substance,
unless one's health can he improved,
when tho hair conditions will also
improve. Hero is a good tonic for
dry hair: One and one-half ounces of
cocoanut oil, one ounce of lanolin,
four drams each of glycerine and
tincture of beisoin. Mix this well;
rub it well into tho scalp each night
with a thorough massage of the scalp
with the tips of the fingers.
The massage of the scalD is done
by spreading the fingers apart and
touching the scalp, bringing the fing
ers together, moving the skin under
the fingers on the skull, not merely
running the finger-tips over the sur
face. The scalp should be moved
over the bone gently. Massage is not
exactly "pinching," nor is it merely
rubbing; it is more in the form of
Kneading with the finger-tips. The
movement is very soon acquired with
practice.

graduate course at Oxford university
When Mr. Bryan s father died it iii
found that out oi the kindness of hi
nature he had incurred obligations by
becoming surety for some of hi
fnends. m
These debts were paid out of tho
fund that had been set aside for
young Bryan's education, and the fu
tuie leader of a great political party
did not take a course at Oxford. Had
li done so the door of opportunity
might not have been standing con
voniently open when Mr. Bryan for
tunately removed to Nebraska at the
psychological moment, and he might
net have been elected to congress and
thereby brought into the public eye
Yesterday afternoon Mr. Bryan waa
wearing his new watch, but his affec
tion for the old timepiece will never
grow less.
Tho new secretary of state and Mrs
Lansing called at tho Bryan homo
yesterday and paid their respects.
Thjs is accepted by those who knew
of the call as another evidence of the
friendly relations existing between
tne administration and Mr. Bryan, re
gardless of his withdrawal from ihe
cabinet. It is known that Mr. Bryan
has the highest regard for Mr. Lans
ing and for his attainments as a diplomat.
WILSON VISITS BRYANS
From the Washington Post, June
Id. 1916.-
President Wilson and Secretary and
Mis. McAdoo called at Calumet Place,
the residence of Secretary and Mrs.
Bryan, yesterday afternoon to pay
their respects to the former premier
and his wife on the eve of their de
parture from Washington for a fort
night. T, he , president motored out
during the afternoon and remained
fifteen minutes. Later the Secretary
and Mrs. McAdoo, with the secretary
driving his own car, arrived and re
mained about the same length of
time. The reception in both instances
was extremely cordial, and if there
has been any friction as a result of
the retirement of Mr. Bryan from the
cabinet there was nothing to indicate
it in the visits yesterday.
