Washing the Hair.
“People become bald from washing
the head.“ said an English barber to n
Kew York Sun reporter. “The use of
water on the scalp may make a man feel
better for a time. but you will notice
that the hair becomes dry and brittle
nfterwnrd. The water and subsequent
rubbing with a towel dry up the oil in the
roots. and in time the hnir becomes dead
gnd drops out. In England people never
think of washing the hair. A good
comb and still” brush are all that are
needed to keep the head clean. The
women often spend hours in combing out
their hair. and that is the most laborious
put of a 'nund‘s \vork. Instead of sham.
