The western sentinel. [volume] (Winston-Salem, N.C.) 1887-1926, 1889-08-29

is Alpha and Omega, the beginning
and end of exhortation
Exercise, So shall your eyes be
bright and your skin clear, soft, satin
smooth and healthy.
1t is as easy to have fine com
plexion as a good education, and the
means are Just as certain, if you will
but discipline the body with half the
care bestowed OH the mind. What
does the average girl of your acquaint-
ance do if she finds pimply blotch
on her forehead She smears her face
with chalk and carmine, covers the
dirty paste with dotted vail and
saunters toward the confectioner's to
buy bon-bons to secure new growth
of blackheads in full bloom tomorrow
morning. What is the line Of action
of the girl who freckles? She lies on
a sofa in dark parlor and Eever ven-
lures out of doors before sunset with
out powdering herselfa quarter of an
inch thick and voting the summer
months one long speckled horror.
Ifyour skin is faded in color, sal
low, and will not catch the delicious
pink glow of the last novel you read
exercise If it is losing the elasticity
it had when you were younger, if il
looks fabby, and pallid, and old, ex-
ercise If it has become coarse in
texture and full of minute holes, if il
is sickly, blotchy and irritable, exer
else till it smiles, and grace, freshness
and fairness make it dimple and beam
once more.
Wash it first. 1t is shocking to
think how many an exquisite skin is
ruined for the lack Of frequent and
thorough bathing. The damage done
by such neglect can never be RENE
died by all the ungents, lotions and
cosmetics ever invented. The hue and
cry raised against the use of soap ano
water on the face is the veriest stuff
and nonsense. Nothing is better for
the skin of any part of the body than
warm water and imported CASTLE soap
unperfumed, made Of clear olive oil
and acknowledged by chemists to be
absolutely pure. Let Patti wash hel
face with cold cream and actresses in
Vulnerable wipe away dust and stage
makeup ana perspiration with vase
line only; between you and me, to
clog the skin indefinitely with sou1
milk or grease is filthy trick unwor
thy Of common intelligence.
Did it ever occur to you that the
skin wants exercise and gets very
little? Nothing is better tonic fol
the complexion than Il brisk cold
sponge bath on rising, followed by q
vigorous rubbing with a dry towel not
too coarse, the face and neck receiv-
ing their full share of the friction un
less the skin be very sensitive, in which
case the bare hands may be the in
strument used instead OF linen. This
sets the blood to moving briskly and
electrifes the system. At bedtime 8
warm bath may be taken, and the
face should be washed slowly, care
fully and thoroughly with warm wa
ter and CASTLE soap. The oily matter
exuding from the skin catches minute
particles of dust which cannot be re
moved in any other way, and many
eruptions on the face are caused by
nothing else than neglect of this sim
| pie precaution. After this wholesome
cleansing dip the face into basin o
clear, cold water, opening and shuttin!
the eyes under the surface, and th'
flesh will be left firm and healthy
This entire process will take barrel,
ten minutes in the morning and TWEEN
ty at night and can if needful b.
taken from the regular sleep, the batl
being quite as restful and refreshing
After such a cleansing the skin j
ready to be taken out of doors, but i
must be fed before going. A simpl
nutritious diet is just as necessary t
a fine complexion as rain and sunshin
are to flowers. A taste for WHOLESOME
food often seems to need as mucl
careful cultivation as a taste for goo,
reading instead of trashy novels. Viii
the woman who makes herself biliou
with strong coffee be sallow? Sh
will. Viii. the girl who prefers pick
les and pink ice cream to roast bee
or juicy beefsteak have blackheads
Most assuredly she will. Let tn
woman whose skin is dull, thick, ye
lowed with moth patches and suggisi
eschew chocolate, gravy and greas'
salads and sweetmeats, or eat them j
small quantities and under the mos
favorable conditions. Let her es
good beefsteak, the soft part of fres
clans scalded III their juice, boile
fresh fish, fresh apples or peache
with cream, and to give the face
color unfermented grape juice or ina
extract and brown bread. If the d
gestion is bad, and poor skin
traceable to this cause, let her es
toasted crackers with fruit juice, bee
steak chopped raw and Drowned, clal
broth, grape juice, soft boiled eggs an
whole wheat bread. If she is thin an
wishes to gain at once flesh and col,
let her eat only what satisfies hungt
and eat very slowly, but eat vegetable
and fruits of all kinds, coarse Dres
and simply cooked meats five or 81
times day if she Graves them, al
drink pint of milk just before goil
to sleep If she is fleshy and y
anaemic, let her reduce her weig
and make blood by eating good bet
