Every woman desires beautiful hair and a good tonic la Just as much a necessary adjunct to the toilet as is soap or tooth I powder. But good hair tonics are ex- pensive. Here is a recipe for a home- made preparation that will give as good or better results than the highest priced ready-made tonics and not cost half as much. Mix half a pint of alcohol with half a pint of water, add an ounce of Beta Qulnol. Simply shake well together and your tonic is ready for use. If you prefer you can uae a pint of imported bay rum Instead of the alcohol and water. Beta Qulnol used dally will give vitality, health and attractiveness to the hair. Any wom- an who appreciate* the value of luxuriant, soft and glossy hair cannot afford to be without this, almost magical quinine hair tonic. Any druggist will sell you the Beta Qulnol and alcohol or bay rum. Lillie Boisclair, Kate Rivers, Irine and Lillian Robinson,' Maud Strother. Inger- borg Behrens, Ola Gunn, Bevy and Della Whatley. J.

VARLEY & BAUMAN CLOTHING 00., 1910 THIRD AVENUE. 9 HELEN KELLAR IS A GENIUS From Pitman’s Magazine. Miss Helen Kellar has become so much a national institution—like Niagara Falls, the Bunker Hil monument and the mem- ory of George ’Washington—that one hesi- tates to proclaim any discovery concern- ing her, for fear It has been made al- ready by someone else. If the discovery I have made lias been anticipated, I have not happened to see it announced. It is so obvious, however, to the reader of “The World I Live In,” to say nothing of her earlier book, “The Story of My Life,” that I shall not claim priority of discovery for myself, but gladly admit the pretensions of any rival claimant. What 1 have found out is merely that Helen {Cellar is that rarity of rarities, a genius. ; All honor to Mrs. Macy, who, as Miss Edllivan, brought the light of reason to the young girl’s benighted mind. Enough cannot be said in ^s*ise of her patient skill, her intelligent and unselfish devo- tion. But while it was her happy lot to sow the seed, and the seed was of the best, she did not create, though she prepared, the Boil in which it fell; and it depended on the nature of that soil whether the seed should take deep root and grow and flourish and yield an abundant harvest, or lie parched on stony ground, or pine and wither after a hasty sprouting in the dust. As it happened, the soil was sur- passingly good, and the harvest has been rare and bountiful. How to Judge Tobacco. From the Bohemian Magazine. On no point is the average smoker so ill-informed as that of judging a cigar. Nine times out of ten, upon being ban- ded a cigar, he will hold it to his nose, unllghted, sniff at the wrapper with a critical a4r, and deliver his verdict in a self-satisfled manner. This characteristic maneuver is always a source of amuse- ment to any tobacco man who happens to observe it. There is only one way to ascertain the quality of a cigar, and that it to smoke it. No expert will pass judg- ment on «a cigar until he has lighted it and smoked it well down toward the mid- dle. The first and most Important point upon which he bases his opinion la the “burn." Tobacco may have every other virtue, but if it does not hold the Are and burn evenly it Is poor tobacco. Next in order of Importance comes the aroma— the smoke must have a pleasing "smell"; next comes the flavor—the smoke” must be smooth and not “scratchy” or bitter. Then, there is the color—rich brown, indi- cating a ripe leaf, well cured; and lastly, workmanship—good if the wrapper is put on smoothly and the “bunch*’ is made so that the cigar “draws" freely and !s neither too hard nor too spongy; bad if the reverse.
