CARE OF YHE HANDS.
skate D." goes to college in September and
is anxious to take the freckles off her hands be-
| fore that time. She says she is seventeen and
has s'spent most of her time trying to make her
| hands look better" That is because she is only
seventeen. She may spend more of her inval-
liable time washing her hands in cider vine
| gar, or she may take one-half pound
washing soda and the same of chloride of
| lime, dissolved in three quarts of boiling
| the backs of her hands with the water.
not forgetting to rinse them with water with
| half cup of vinegar to the quart. This will
| remove freckles, if anything will. and is SOW

a paste, allowed to dry On the frecklcs in the

cold cream. hope Hates studies will do
her hands credit.
| REMOVAL OF MoLEs.
Spoiled Beauty" Another wise pretty
neck has number of little brown moles "a
| friend advised the of nitric acid, but the
moles came back, and when 1 tried it on my
face 1t left scar, an ugly pinkish raised place,
which L tried to heal with salt and water and
| failed" The acids are unsafe applications on
ordinary hands. The best way to remove moles
| is to draw them out between thumb and finger
| and tie silk thread around the neck of the
mole. Cut the ends OF silk close and leave it
on for three days more, then tie again till the
mole wears off. A small blister will remove the
mole sometimes when other means fail.
| touch of iodine or lunar caustic aften cures,
| but care must be taken not to mistake a
mothers" mark or natures for mole. Let
the scar alone for a few months only coating 1t
with vaseline carbolic ointment if sore.
| When the skin heals try lunar caustic. Five
| cents worth from the druggists will remove a
| score OF warts and moles. Wet the end of the
pencil, in which shape it comes. and rub once
| on the mole, which will turn black and lessen
| In size. When the color wears off apply the
caustic again and again till the spot disappears.
THE TOILET MASK.
| Questions still come about the toilet mask,
which women seem persuaded will at once
transform pgliness to beauty. 1t is a mask of
thin soft rubber, very finely finished and vel
! yety, which ties closely to the face by tapes
passing around the head. 1t undoubtedly is
| useful IN certain cases, but not when there is a
tendency OF blood to the face, and is oppressive
| for sleeping in hot weather.
INTERNAL DISORDERS.
| "Mrs. ]. F. j." Liver spots arise from de-
rangement of the liver, maladies of women or
internal piles, and the health must be set right
before the disfgurementc can be cured. People
would never know what repulsye, half-dead
| condition they exist in if nature did not boldly
announce it by unsightly "afliches' of moth
pimples and spots. course of fruit juice
the fresh-pressed juice from berries,
peaches or grapes-taken in quantity,
at least four large glasses daily, at
meals and at night, will relieve the
! system remarkably, no matter what the inter-
nal disorders, and liver spots will disappear in
TIME In many cases without other special
| treatment. Now is the time to begin the fruit
| juice cure, which is strengthening and purify

| absorbed than when whole fruit is eaten. 1t
| supplies the increased nutrition which the
| great doctors are just finding out is demanded
| for the cure of debilities and consumption.
| The American medical association at its late
| meeting spoke very strongly on this point.
| Debouve, the great French physician, has
shown that consumption and persons in vast

needs OF n healthy organism, and what is more,

JUICE OF FRESH FRUITS,
which is charged with the acids used in nedi-
cine, together with gelatine and blood produc-
ing agents, which need the slightest effort of
the system to turn directly into the purest
blood. Cherries and peaches act most bene-
nclally on the digestion by the small amount

orchard town, and owners would no longer be
distressed how to dispose Of perishable fruits
plums, nectarines, raspberries and the de-
licious early pears. Where a press is not
available the fruit may be stewed in
close stone jars and the juice strained from
it through cheese cloth for keeping. 1t should
be taken cold. with sugar If liked, and slipped
deliberately at meals and whenever desired.
Keep it in full bottles, tightly corked, on ice or
in very cold place. Where ice is not attain
able wrap the bottle in wet towel and set in
pan of water in shaded window where the
wind blows. SHIRLEY DARE.
