If your scalp is dry and scurfy you should rub in olive oil before washing the hair. Rub in the oil well, as the massage is very good for the scalp, brings more blood to the surface, and in time will completely clear up the scurf. Dry hair gets grey very much sooner than greasy hair does. If, later on in life, your hair is turning grey, a very good tip is to rub a little castor oil on the scalp with the tips of the fingers. The effect is really wonderful. (See page 24 for further hair hints.) GOOD TEETH Teeth can be beautiful in themselves, and they are a necessary adjunct to good looks. Nothing attracts more than a cheerful smile, but the pleasing effect depends partly on the teeth. Teeth, mouth, and throat must not be forgotten in the daily practice of Cleanliness. The moment you notice a trace of decay, or a "twinge" in a tooth when you are eating sweet or cold food, or an ache in windy weather, consult your dentist. Visit him regularly for inspection every six months. The loss of even a single tooth may spoil your appearance. [illustration] There are many good tooth-pastes on the market, but a rub on your soap tablet does just as well for cleansing and brightening them. Thorough chewing of hard foods helps to develop and strengthen the jaws. Try to brush the teeth after every meal; but at least brush them every night and go to bed with a clean mouth. Never nibble a biscuit or a chocolate after the final clean. The warmth of your mouth will set up fermentation in the tiny particles of starch or sugar, and form an acid [illustration] 10
