NORTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY Health Beauty Charm Keep Young and Beautiful (By Althouse Beauty School) Falling Hair, Dandruff There are many causes for fall ing hair, but I think wv are safe in saying that dandruff is one of the most jomnty>n causes. Just what is dandruff? This morning a customer came to the school and refused to allow the dandruff to be lifted. She insisted that she had dandruff all her life, and that the scales we. found on her scalp were good for the hair and caused it to grow. Is there a “growing dandruff ? ” We study dandruff in a scientific way wq find it to be an abnormal growth and shedding of horny cells of the epidermis, an excessive discharge of sebum from the baceous (oil) gland. We may compare the growth of hair with the growth of vegeta tion. We know that everything in nature grows from the inside out. When ever soil will not produce weeds, that same soil will not pro duco the best form of vegetation. The same is true of the scalp Whenever we find a head uf hair with no form or sign of dandruff we usually find a tight drawn shiny scalp with little, or no hair. Just why is this? We know that to have a beautiful abundant head of hair, the papilla, erector muscles and also the sebaceous glands must be functioning properly. When the oil from the sebaceous glands reaches the air, it forms flacky scales. These flaky scales are found on the most healthy thick head of hair, even on the scalp of babies. If there is a ‘ growing’’ dandruff this must be it. But when there is an excessive flow of oil, and when the dandruff is allowed to remain on the scalp as a prey to dirt, germs and more oil, the) scalp be comes mildly infected, the hair begins to fall, and we have the second or destructive form of dan druff. -o Truck Driver Injured York, S. C., Nov. 4 (ANP)—A remarkable demonstration of fidel ity and courage was given in York county last Saturday by Wm. Wil fong, a truck driver for the Mc Whirter 5 and 10c chain store, com pany.
