FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1010, WOMAN'S HAR REACHES 10 KNEES I A Year Ago Was Threatened With | - Baldness Tells How She Made | Her Hair Grow. Mrs friends in the city, is the fortunate | possessor of marvelously | hair, which, when loosened from its Yeolls, falls to her knees. Moreover, it 1s of soft, silky and fluffy texture and in color a glorious, glossy gold. Yet just one year ago she was threat. 'ened with baldness. Urged to .tell how she had obtained this wonderful growth in so short a time, she said: "Twelva months ago my hair, which then reached barely to my shoulders, was falling out at an alarming rate and growing very thin, actually exposing the bald scalp in several spots. It was dull and life- Jess in color, turning grey in patches, and, very dry and brittle. My head wax covered with dindvaff and ttched like mad all the time. 1 tried fully a dozen different hair tonics, but they never &ifl me a bit of good. One| day I chanced to read in my hdine paper of a staple Flue proscription to make the hair grow that was re- commended by a well-known physi cian. It said that by taking ordinary L.avona, de Composee and mixing with Bay Rum and Menthol Crystals and applying to the scalp each night with the finger tips that new hair would grow very rapidly. 1 decided to try_it and had my druggist mix % ounces of the Lavona de Composee with 8 oz. of Bay Rum and % dr. of Menthol Crystals, and started to use it. My, how quickly my hair did grow. First, the hair stopped fall- ing, the itching ceased and the dan- druff disappedred. Then"tiny little hairs appeared all aver my scalp These grew and grew as though no- thing would ever stop them They are growing yet and, while, of coyrse; 1 have used the treatment steadily and expect to continue it, at least until my hair reaches the floor. I might have stopped and been perfect- ly satisfied at the end of three months. - 1 think that.any woman can get long, thick, beautiful hair by using this prescription" a8 1 have recommended it to several friends and all are delighted with the result The prescription is very inexpensive and any druggist can fill it." Those who use it should be careful not to get it on the face or where the hair is not desired. The nunsber of "deaths in {§fpus Christi, Texas; and vicinity from | Sunday's storm now stands at 266.

Every Child is a Musician. Music is natural to the child. Every child is a musician, if it be musical to express one's self in terms only of sounds. His cry has a musical value; it is the expression of supreme emo- tion in the terms of sound, and what else is music? Only later does he learn to express himself by gesture, movement, line, color; the pictorial sense comes very late. At first, he denotes his contentment by the simple | straight melodic line in his coo of contentment, as the cat purrs her con- tent in a monotone. Emotions of surprise, anger, joy, fear, desire, disliRe, produce on the child as they do in the adult musician a variation from the melodic ling; and the greater the excitement the higher the curve, until it becomes an angle-- a shriek. Later, and by degrees, this expression confines itself into smaller | and smaller spaces. But that child will always have a distorted idea of music whose teacher does not point out to him from the first of the ana- | logy between the simplicity or eom- plexity of the 'melodic line and the emotion to be expressed.

Set for yourself some colossal task. Even if you do not succeed in attaining it, the effort alone will improve your art. .
