Massage of the face cannot be complete
ly taught without visible illustration, but a
few useful movements can be described,
and nothing further should be attempted
by the novice; with the fingers, the face,
from the corners of the mouth, should be
softly rubbed up and outward, this tend
ing to prevent the hard line that often
settles from the nose down as the cheeks
tend TO fall inward; the forehead can be
rubbed with the fingers from the centre
oward the temples; for a double chin one
simple movement is invaluable; no one
need have a doable chin; but the remedy
should be resorted to early, as in later life
the skin loses its elasticity, n it is bet
ter to have a double chin h a dew-lap.
Rub under the chin with the fingers, be-
ginning under one side and drawing them
out at the other; this lone with first one
hand and then the other makes many
strokes a minute possible, n the flesh
under such treatment will soon begin Wis
IDLY to lessen. Much can also be done to
reduce the stomach and abdomen in the
same way, a rotary movement being most
effective.
In all massage it is well to oil the rand
with cocoa oil. In cases of emaciation
as much oil as the skin of the patient will
absorb should be rubbed In in the course
of the usual movements. on also tends

Massage Is a mechanical and indisput-
able aid to circulation, and tn prostration
and fatigue the blood ceases to flow in
proper quantities through the arteries,
and Is drawn off to the veins Gin death the
blood leaves the arteries altogetherl, the
relief of restoring the equilibrium of the
circulation is instantaneous. The Japan
csc regard massage as an indispensable
feature OF life, just as they look upon a
bath as a necessity, and in this they are
right and ahead of us.

hygienic precautions should be taken
since the state of the health has almost
all to do with a thick head of hair.
Frequent headaches or a feverish heat
will effect the scalp. The hair should be
cut at the ends or the ends burned off
once a month, and the head washed thor
ougly as often as that.
Many advocate a fortnightly washing,
but, unless the scalptfs really dirty, this
Is apt to be too frequent for the good OF
the hair. Friction is excellent to help its
growth, strength and beauty Rub the
head briskIy with the fingers until the
skin tingles. Then rub in a little grease

thing in the -world-except that 1t is so
greasy that no one fanefes its use. 1t

A little powdered quinfne is recon-
naended to rub over the head, and quia-
inc does so much toward increasing the
growth of the hair that its use should
be known for this purpose more widely
than it is. Brushing the hair night and
morning Is also more beneficial. With
these simple directions faithfully fol-

numerous and dubious connections adj
