sold by druggists, who will give the proper
WHITE GRAPE JUICE.

WHITE GRAPE JUICE.
If there is disposition to cold sores and
breakings out on the face avoid all forms OF
ham, salt beef, corned or dried,
cheese or salt fish, and eat water
cress at each meal for three days.
For those who are languid in mind and
body nothing is better than the new Cali.
fornis grape juice from white muscatel
cranes which is commonly sold for the first
time this season. 1t looks like delicate,
light amber wine, but is pure juice OF
grapes untermented, and keeps surprisingly
in weather when the red grape juice ferments
RAPIDLY without ice 1t isa lighter tonic
than the red juice, and admirable for sum-
mer beverage or medicine. 1t is 70 cents q
pint at the groceries, and is the only thing
OF the sort fit to taste I have found among
many brands of grape juice.
The trouble with most of the unfermented
Juice is that it is too sweet, being made en-
tirely from rich Concord or other sugary
grapes. The proper combination for
healthy, high favored drink is from mixed
grapes, the most successful makers pressing
/, 200 pounds of Concords to 500 of Norton's s
Seeding, which gives delicious acid rich
ness, not fermenting on the stomach as the
sugary grapes do. If you want draft
to work on with body and brains, take
glass of white grape juice with teaspoon
1ul of acid phosphate, and defy the summer
to wilt your energies. If you are increas-
ing in flesh more than is pleasing try the
hot water cure, drinking small glass OF
very hot water 15 minutes before breakfast.
1t is said to reduce obesity very safely.
THE CARE OF THE FACE.
For tan or coarseness of the pores, black
heads and OILY skin in summer, wash the
face with hot borax water, one teaspoonful
of borax to pint of water. For open pores
the hotter it can be applied the better. For
freckles, try the juice OF young green grapes
pounded in bowl and rubbed on at night,
washing off in the morning with hot soda
water. To redden cheeks and lips have the
druggist prepare lotion of ten drops oil of
mustard in three ounces of alcohol, not of
the strongest. Touch the skin with this
liquid on fine sponge, let it smart a few
minutes and wash off gently with glycerine
and water. This application needs skill
and practice, but Is capable OF giving
brilliant, lasting color.
Of my many correspondents, Pink writes
to know how to cure enlarged pores of the
face, biackheads and dark rings round the
eyes. All three symptoms combined show
a system very much out of order. There
must be immediate and thorough reform in
habits, coarse, laxative diet and medicines,
washing the face with borax water many
times day, and when dry rubbing it
softly but firmly with rubber handbrush.
This is a nice thing for the complexion in
all cases, whether to remove the shiny look
left by washing with soap and to give the
velvety finish (Which it does better than
chamois skln) or to clear the enlarged pores
of secretions. Mild friction with it improves
the action of the skin and reduces the pores.
Blackheads indicate a constipated condi-
tion, complete relief of which is the only
permanent cure for these unsightly spots.
The dark circles around the eyes will prob
ably disappear with the other symptoms.
ABOUT THE TEETH.
Mildred wants advice about the teeth. She
is Sc, and ner teeth were neglected when
young, are irregular, which she supposes
cannot be helped, and are decaying fast; but
she does not want to have artificial ones. Is
there anything that will arrest decay? Ger
tainly. Take powdered charcoal for the
stomach daily, as directed in this article,
brush the teeth with it till they become
white, which will take a week, perhaps,
then use prepared chalk and a good tooth
wash for rinsing the teeth after meals. Eat
only bread of entire wheat -four, as that sup
plies the phosphates for bones and teeth, and
use crackeu WneaG Us VegelaUle freely. IL
is as good as rice in every way. There is
candy for children, mixed with phosphates,
which is said to have good effect on the
teeth, and is of benefit to older persons, as l
can vouch.
Ella S. should fill her rose jar with the
petals of wild roses gathered just as the dew
is off or Just at sunset, dried in the shade
till they curl, and put in the jar with bit
of cotton which has drop of altar of rose
on it, shut the jar tight for fortnight and
only open it when the room is to be per-
fumed. The usual mixture of spice and
cologne in pot-pourri smells like cooking
extract. Wild roses and few richly scented
garden sorts are the only things that should
go in rose jar unless it is a few rose gera-
MUM leaves. Not a little skill goes to the
curing of flower petals. SHIRLEY DARE.
