"You can't give the women too much
about cosmetics" writes well-to-do woman
from Pacific summer resort, and various
hints to the same effect come from different
quarters Of the country and the continent.
really want to know is by the requests in
most Of the 499 letters which haunt me.
This letter will be given mp mainly to the
chat with correspondents long promised.
Constant Reader"-thirteenth 'of the
name-wants the recipe for bringing blood
to the cheeks and lips in place OF using
paint. Ten drops oil of mustard in an
ounce of alcohol is the formula. Sponge
the cheeks and lips with few drops of this
half an hour before you present 70 urself. 1t
will soon smart and redden the skin, but
must not be allowed to burn more than Eve
minutes. Wash of and apply a touch Of
cold cream or the new toilet cerate, which is
so fragrant, so balmy to the skin, which
does not grease the skin or produce down on
the face. Eu psssant, if there is no good
blood in the system, ii you are anamic or
bilious, you can't get up good color even
by blistering your cheeks.
HUNT FOR GOOD AIR.
If boat could steam down the Narrows
three or four times day with a load of la
dies in easy dress, who should exercise from
the time of starting till they came back. it
would be the best school of color for feminine
faces. If you can't get ocean or lake air,
take the highest and purest you can reach;
live in it, work in 1t as far as possible, and
let these pretenses of mustard and ginger
and carmine 60 by.
No. 2 suffers with flushed face, tendency
of blood to the head, the least exertion makes
her warm and she perspires too freely. She
wants 10 know whether there is medicine she
can get which would cool the blood? This
looks like indigestion. French doctors say
withoutcircumspection that women, especial
ly over 40 years OF age, owe their red noses
and flushed faces to fatty acids generated in
the stomachs where digestion does not take
place. This gastro-colic dilatation is the
origin OF many skin disorders, besides many
mental states OF simple or emotional depres-
slon," say Profs. Trastour aud Bouchard.
CURE FOR RED NOSES.
Take hot Carlsbad water or Sprudel salts
or a good seidlitz powder in hot water the
first thing in the morning. "Eat small but
frequent meals, let starchy and leguminous
foods alone on account OF their bulk and
character Of the products OF their fermenta-
tion," says DR.. Thompson, of New York in
his admirable paper on diseases of the
stomach,
No. writes: ''I have made inquiries at
several bakeries for bread from unbolted
flour. One said Steamed bread another
'aerated bread So I am puzzled to know
which is the bread, il either"
This kind Of appeal is enough to raise
holy hands in wrath and doubting-wrath
that our women are taught everything that
pertains to culture, artistic, social, chari-
table and religious, save and except what
belongs TO their very blood and lie. It does
not say much for the intelligence of. lady or
baker that such question about the bread
we eat three times day should be asked
and that it should receive such answers of
folly. Yet the letter quoted is well written,
in good handwriting.
ADVICE AS TO BREAD.
Let us hope the hygienic text books of the
future will teach the difference between
bolted and unbolted -four Unbolted -four,
it is remarked in concession to ladylike ig-
norance, is hour containing the whole OF the
wheat, including the outer coat, which is
the bran, and phosphates, the very parts
needed by sedentary persons, but which are
sifted out of the white -four.
Don't go to the baker for bread to keep
you in health. The bakery bread is almost
without exception overIermented with yeast
to the point OF sourness, made OF inferior
-four, rom which the best nutrient parts
have b cen removed by boiling, and, lastly,
is seldom baked enough for human iood.
This is why the Americans are nation of
dyspeptics, always in hurry, thin. and ex-
citable. Enough has been said about the
hurry producing dyspepsia, when every
doctor knows that the hurry, the desire to
be continually on the move, is one of tbe
effects Of nervous dyspepsia, created by a
lack of phosphates and their nerve nutri-
lion.
