How to Battle.
| Fill your tub as full as il Is COM
portable for you to sit in, with warm
water; begin by scrubbirg the face
thoroughly with the brush and pure
soap; next take care To rinse it well,
first in warm water, gradually de-
creasinS the temperature until you
finally get good cold dash of water
all over the face. Your face is now
washed, and if you have been in the
most reprehensible custom of using a
little soft cloth dipped in water. or a
sponge, or any make-shift for soap
and scrubbing, pray pardon me when
/ say your face is now washed, but

rid of the accumulation of dead skin
and clogged pores, for a month yet,
with the daily repetition of a scrub
bing-and just here let me ask how
long you think you could keep yoalr
hands clean if you used a little rag
dipped in water for the purpose.
Now, the texture of the skin of the
face, particularly if oily, possesses a
peculiar attraction for dust, and the
loathsome blackheads. or as they are
still more vulgarly called, flesh

looks. After your face is thoroughly
scrubbed and rinsed, take the ordi-
nary flesh-brush With the long ham
die and scrub your body quickly and
of the water by letting the cold water
run until it is cold. Sponge off with
the cold water, and you will have
taken one step each day toward the
bright eye and clear skin we are
striving for.

before retiring, apply some good en-
oNient ito your face-there are several
to be had which are highly commend

If you prefer to take your bath IN
