WHAT WOMEN WANT TO KNOW.
Shirley Dare Talks About Wrinkled
Throats, sunken Cheeks and Flesh

| Sn1fley Dare I2tkS ABOUT Wr1nkIeO
Throats, sunken Cheeks and Flesh.
Shirley Dare has found time to answer
! the following questions from readers of THE
DISPATCH:
NJ. C.-"What will remove the drawn
| look from the throat, the wrinkled, drawn
appearance seen in middle-aged women, but
caused in this case, I think, by wearing a
| tight collar. The rest of my neck is good. B"
A tight collar soon spoils throat, but
| would hardly cause wrinkles. Collars
| should fit easily and not be made with thick
| Innings, which heat, even cause infamma-
| tion internally. Thin intcrlnings, which
may be stiff as you please, and linen or silk
facing next the skin should be used if one
would preserve q fresh looking neck. Soak
ing the skin with towel wrung out of
soapy hot water worn and renewed five or
ten minutes, then rubbing in gently pure
cosmetic pomade is the easiest treatment. 1t
should be taken nightly and during the day
if speedy results are desired. Wearing the
warm compress with dry flannel or oil silk
outside to keep in the moisture and warmth
freshers throat and voice much.
"What will prevent the cheeks from
looking sunk?'
Puff them out with breath, full as posi-
BILE and apply gentle massage with the
palms of the hands, using them on both
cheeks at once. When the face feels heated
by the friction, dash the cheeks with warm
and then cold water till relieved, and wipe
with a warm towel. The massage should be
circular, moving the palms round and
round without lifting them from the face.
3. "Will anything not I'M urious restore
gray hair to its original color?"
Tiny hair were gray at %, should give
restorative treatment very vigorous trial.
A gentle Alternative medicine, followed by
the well-known tonic, iron strychnia and
phosphorus, three times daily, after meals
Diet of fresh eggs and tenderloin steak,
mainly, three eggs for breakfast or half a
pound of cooked steak if one can dispose Of
and enjoy it, red wine or strong grape Juice,
buckwheat cakes and shortbread, hich con-
tain much strengthening and coloring mat
ter. With habit of sitting and walking
persuaded, give different account of early
gray hair. 1t is not probable the
gray hair would change, though not
impossible, but new hair would
come of a darker color. This is not
to be discredited, for the balance of reason
is in favor of the possibility, and no expert
ments have been tried Systematically since
the great surgeon, John Hunter, fed his
pigs madder to dye their bones
red. Few women have the force to follow
the treatment indicated faithfully enough
to secure the effect. 1t is shorter to use the
henna dyes, which. so far from being inju-
rious, the Persians believe, increase the
growth of the hair 1t colors hair from
f1axen to deep chestnut brown or blue-black
and is lasting. Before anyone has time to
ind, hasten to saw that the leaves and
extract of henna are now imported by East
ern city druggists, and the dye prepared.

Useless to treat the symptom without re-
moving the cause which lies back of it.
