and Its Appendages

okln In ono of the most Im
portant organs of the body.
This 'mi y Hcein an extraor
dinary Htalomont to oonio who
took upon the nkln merely an n pro
tective covering for muscle , bono nnd
other underlying structures.
It In n fact , however , that the skin
iii a vital organ nnd that paralysis of
Its functions would result In death.
Ono of the moHt important function. * !
of the Hid n IB to rogulnto the body
beat. Thin It docs largely through the
> vnporatlon of water brought to the
nurfaco by the sweat glands. It has
lcon estimated that there are about
2,000,000 of these glands In the Hklu
of the average Individual nnd that
they dally pour out from ono to thrco
pints of water containing salts and
waste products.
In very warm weather this loss Is
yulto apparent , but in ordinary weath
er wo arc not conscious of It , and It
JH termed insensible perspiration.
When the air contains a great deal
of moisture and the weather man re
ports excessive humidity , the evapora
tion of moisture from the skin Is re
tarded and great discomfort results.
The reverse condition obtains , ot
course , when tlio air Is dry.
Understanding the functions of the
ftkln , wo can readily comprehend what
grave injury to other organs may re-
uult If these functions are suspended.
Wheji the weather becomes suddenly
cold the blood vessels of the sklu con
tract , and a greater burden Is thrown
upon the kidneys , which at once be
come more active , if they nro able to
respond. When the skin Is not In a
healthy condition KB heat regulating
and waste excreting functions are
chronically disturbed , with the result
that other organs must bear the bur
den. This means that the bodily re-
Distance to disease Is lessened.
Structure of the Skin.
The Hklu is composed of two layers
the epidermis , or what is termed the
"ncarf skin , " nnd the tlcrnm , or "true
iiklu. " The epidermis IH composed of
isevcrul layers of epithelial cells , which
net as o protective coating for the
derma. The derma contains the seba
ceous or oil glands , the sweat glands ,
roots of the hair , blood vessels , fat ,
nerves , etc.
The cells of the epidermis are con-
utantly drying up aud are removed by
bathing and the friction of the clothes.
To maintain a healthy action of the
okln the dally bath la Important Mil
liona of people seem to get along fair
Jy well without bathing , but millions
of people have died before their Umo
In consequence of neglecting- such hy
gienic measures as are now known to
promote good health and resistance to
disease.
A dally cold bath should be taken
by all who can react from the shock
without fooling "shivery" and chilled.
For the more delicate a dally tepid
iiath , with light sponging or spraying
of neck and cheat with cool water , will
assist In maintaining a proper tone to
the circulation of the skin and fortify
against colds , bronchitis , pneumonia
and tuberculosis.
Importance of Cleantlng Soalp.
A great deal of Umo and money are
wasted In trying to make hair grow in
poor soil. It is a curious but Illumi
nating fact that It It la quite as diffi
cult to destroy superfluous hair as it
IE to Induce hair to grow where It IB
desired. These facts are readily ac
counted for when we consider that the
paplllne , upon which the growth of
hair depends , are located deeply In the
layers of the true skin , where neither
hair tonics nor hair destroyers can
reach them.
It la true of the scalp as of all other
parts of the body that It Is easier to
prevent disease than to euro It. Pro-
renUon of dandruff , which is the usual
cause of baldness , Is not ordinarily a
difficult matter. Sometimes this con
dition as well as falling of the hair is
due to a debilitated nervous system ,
which must first bo treated before lo
cal measures are of much avail. The
average individual , however , can pro-
Tent dandruff nnd resultant baldness
l > y keeping the scalp clean.
The scalp Is prouo to collect dirt ,
dnst and germs. Dandruff Is tboughl
by some to be due to a germ , but thU
Is all the greater reason for frequently
cleansing the scalp.
Shampooing and Soalp MIIIRQ * .
A mistaken Idea exists that the bait
Is Injured by frequent washing. Aa a
rule , both scalp and hair are benefited
thereby provided they are carefully
dried Neglect to dry the hair leads
to decomposition at the roots and im
palrment of its rigor. In the summer
time exposure to the sunlight will as
eist In thorough drying. In the win
( er time hot towels should be used.
Medicated soaps arc not of much
value. Any pure soap will answer
Tincture of green soap Is an excelleu
preparation. T4iero Is no danger of
undue loss of oil from the hair , as the
oil glands In the skin quickly replace
what is washed away. In fact , by
clearing away the dead cells and
cleansing the oriQcos of the glands the
oil supply may be Increased. In oh
cases of dandruff the head should be
ebampooed several times a week until
the scalp Is restored to n healthier
condition , and then twice n month will
usually stitUcc.
The hnlr should bo briskly brushed
twice n day. This will cleanse It mid
promote a healthy circulation. The
scalp should also be kncndetl and inns-
nnged with the finger tips , slightly
pinched and pulled nwny from the un
derlying Hkull. Thin Is especially nec
essary whore the hair lacks vigor and
the scalp Is tightly bound to the flknll.
It Li n question whether electric tuns-
nngc , vibration massage , etc. , have any
advantages over ordinary methods. Vi
bration massage in particular should
be used with caution.
In some cases dandruff is so exces
sive as to constitute an active disease ,
accompanied by inflammation. In such
cases medical attention Is noccssnry ,
and experiments should not bo made.
The scalp , like other portions of the
body , can be kept in a healthy condi
tion by proper attention to bathing ,
sleep , exercise , diet , etc. , and all these
things should bo tried in preference
to soaking one's head with high priced ,
highly perfumed stuff out of fancy bet
tles.
Anything that improves the nutrition
of the HCitlp tends to prevent gray hair.
Many theories have been advanced as
( o the ouiiHu of gray hair , but no cure
has yet been discovered. Ulack hair
dyes may contain lead nnd cause se
rious poisoning. Great caution should
be exercised In using dyes.
Care of the Complexion.
Care of the complexion should com
mence In childhood. This does. * not
mean that wo should rub the baby's
face with expensive toilet prepara
tions , but that nil measures which pro
mote a healthy skin action should ear
ly become a part of training and dis
cipline.
The faUIn of the face should also be
horoughly cleansed at least once n day ,
n order that a healthy action of Us
glands may be maintained. Pure soap
mil tepid soft water are usually suf
ficient for this purpose. Those who
Ivo in dusty or smoky towns will find
t beneficial to use cold cream as n
cleanser. The face should be gently

wasted In trying to make hair grow In

but thoroughly rubbed with this prep
aration nnd then wiped off with a soft
towel. The appearance of this towel
after use will surprise those who try
this method for the first time. The
face should then be washed with tep
id water. This 13 nn exceedingly val
uable measure for young boys nnd
girls.
Importance of Diet.
In addition to local hygiene of the
face , care of the bodily functions will
have nn important Influence on the
complexion. Constipation In young
children Is very apt to develop through
Inattention and neglect. Regular hab
its should be established and proper
diet enforced. Greasy fried foods , pan
cakes , hot brcnda , oatmeal , candy , Ice
cream soda , should all be avoided.
The habit of thoroughly chewing the
food should also bo early taught.
Children are prone to bolt their food ,
especially soft foods like cereals ,
potatoes nnd other vegetables , which
should remain in the mouth long
enough for partial digestion.
Treatment of Acne.
Acne is n disease characterized by
the formation of pimples or blotches ,
chiefly on the face , but occasionally on
other portions of the body. Young
people suffer from two forms of this
disease , the simple and the Indurated.
In the former ordinary pimples arc
present In the latter the pimples are
of largo size and very hard , leaving a
scar after they rupture. In older people
ple acne takes the form of reddened ,
inflamed areas , often involving the
nose , termed "acne rosacea. "
In mild , simple acne dally cleansing
of the face with cold cream and care
ful attention to diet will often bo suffi
cient to effect n euro. The more re
bellious cases require the most skillful
medical treatment , directed against
the underlying constitutional causes.
Of late excellent results hare been
reported from the use of the Roentgen
rays. Such treatment requires much
Judgment nnd experience and should
be administered only by an expert.
Acne rosacea , although so unsightly
and formidable looking , Is often read
ily cured by careful diet , avoidance of
stimulants , regulation of the bowels
nnd certain local applications. Tight
lacing Is not Infrequently n cause of
this disease People suffering from
this trouble should seek relief from a
physician , with every confidence of
cure , provided instructions are rigidly
followed.

London. Fob. II. Since the trium

Myllim libel case , Admiral Seymour
and hlB daughter Mrs. Napier have
loon somewhat lionized both In po
litical and Hoclnl circles. The story
about ( toorge's having marrleil Mrs.
N'ttpler , as Miss Seymour , had been
going the rounds HO long that there
were many who actually believed , des
pite insertions to the contrary , that
It contained much truth. Now that
King George nnd Mrs. Napier both
hnvo been vindicated , the powerful

parliamentarians arc not going
to get the suffragettes of their hands
very easily , and It Is reported that
they will make certain overtures to
the tlamorcrs for women's votes In
order to got rid of the agitators , But
the suffragettes and their friends are
on tin- lookout for "jokers" and every
thing else that looks like legislation
to make thorn appear ridiculous and
the government will have to pass
laws that are satisfactory as far as
they go , or else let the suffragettes
go on breaking windows , holding mon
ster i.arados and making such other
demonstrations as they deem neces
sary to the cause and essential to the
embarrassment of Premier Asquith
and his cabinet.

Just how much compensation a wo
man should be allowed for keeping
her husband's home has long been a
much debated question. Switzerland
is the first country , however , to fix by
law such compensation. Not only may
she claim under this new law one-
third of the husband's earnings , but
she may also dispose of one-third of
his fortune or property in any way
she may think fit. It is , of course ,
only in rare cases that a wife goes
to law to demand her rights In a mat
ter of this kind , and most Swiss con
pies are content to keep to the ordi
nary domestic arrangements in the
distribution of household funds.
French taxpayers are confronted
with the pleasant reflection that they
will soon be supporting a million state
functionaries a year. According to
the official report of the budget com
mission the number of officeholders
has reached 968,121 and is growing
each year. During the last fifty years
the army of state paid officials has In
creased at the rate of 4,600 a year
or 110 percent , for the half century
while the population of France has
only Increased by some 10 percent
and civil salaries have rises from $49 ,
000,000 to $137,500,000 annually.
The latest reform about to be in
troduced In German railways is the
placing of safes aboard long distance
trains. The safes are to be made oi
steel , with two keys , one to be kepi
In the custody of the passenger and
the other in that of the train guard
both being necessary for the opening
of the safe. The safes are to be placet
In the guard's van and to be large
enough to hold a small grip , jewel
case or similar package. A very mod
erate charge is to be made for the use
of the safe , the state taking all risks
arising from theft , fire or railway ac
cidcnt , and protecting itself by a sys
teui of reinsurance.

Among the most comfortable people
In Norfolk next summer will be the
families of Morris B. Irvin and Frank
E. Melcher , in whose homes on South
Tenth street carpenters are beginning
the construction of outdoor sleeping
apartments.
On top of the front verandas in the
northeast corners workmen are con
structing thirteen-foot floorings ; roofs ,
front and sides to be covered with
mosquito screen and provided with
canvas curtains. Electric lights are
to be installed and sanitary cots with
probably a small table and lounging
chairs will complete the furnishings.
These sleeping apartments , provided
with every comfortable luxury needed
for their purpose , when complete will
be such that sleeping In them can be
enjoyed at all times , regardless of the
weather. Both families last year en
joyed out-of-door sleeping , but were
made uncomfortable by either mos-
qultos or rain. Mrs. Irvin and her
sister. Mrs. Melcher , put their heads
together and after some months of
planning and consultation with car
penters they themselves originated
the present plan which Is now mate
rializing. No matter how hot the summer -
mer is , the outdoor sleeping apart
ments In front of these two homes will
bo comfortable , being so planned that
the advantage of any breeze will be
confiscated by the sleepers behind the
protection of the screen and canvass.

Against Duties.

An Example for the State.
Fremont Tribune : Tne Union Pa
cific and Southern Pacific roads hnvo
just decided to spend a million and n
quarter dollars for tbf purpose of ad
vertising their own facilities and the
resources of the vast country covered
by their great railway system. Com
ing , as this announcement does , upon
the heels of another In which it was
reported seventy-five millions would
be expended In double-tracking this
great traps-continental line , the two
combine to give much interest con
cerning the future of the roads and
the country they SerVe. It means a"
year of great activity and of prosper
ity for the people , for this kind of
enterprise has a far-reaching effect.
Railroad managers know very well
what it means to develop the territory
they cover with their transportation
routes. They know It means increased
freight and passenger traffic. And BO ,
at one stroke , this corporation appro
priates a million nnd a quarter to ad
vertise the resources of its traffic

Here Is an object lesson for the Ne
braska legislature. It has before it
measures providing appropriations of
sums for state advertising of very
modest proportions compared with
what this ono railway corporation
sets apart for the purpose. Yet
there ib hesitancy and doubt on the
part of the legislature. Twenty thou
sand dollars looks to the peanut poli
tician like a colossal sum one-six
teenth of what a board of railroad
directors appropriates without bat
ting an eye. The state of Nebraska
is a gigantic affair and Its legislators
ought to be of approximate size.
