WHEN SKINS ARE OILY.
The First Step Towards Remedy Is
to Find Out What the Cause Is.

to Find Out What the Cause Is.
Sufferers from oilinesS of skin must.
of course, first consider what produces
this complaint, and take active mea-
| srlTcS to cure it.
1t is caused by either weakness or
some disorder of the system, and the
diet should be carefully attended to,
first of all. Rich food of all kinds must
be given Up. and plain nursery cook
ing, with plenty of fruit and vegeta-
blcs. taken instead.
Hot. ill-ventilated rooms must be
avoided, as well It's late hours and
heavy bed-clothing. Plenty of outdoor
exercise must be a daily item in our
life. A daily bath of tepid water,
douchc baths. and an occasional Turk
ish bath. must be taken. But this last
must never be taken except under
medical orders.
Aperient medicines should be taken
in the morning, and fresh fruit eaten
while dressing. Apples or oranges are
advised at this hour. If fresh fruit is
difficult to obtain, French plums, figs
dipped in oil. or prunes may be taken

breakfast and lunch; water cresS and
dandelion can be advantageously used
for this purpose as well as lettuce.
AS to the treatment of the skin itself,
this must be carefully attended to.
The skin of the body must be well
rubbed with a loofah or an electric
brush, and to the bath water, borax,
vinegar or carbonate of soda can be
added.
For the face, of course, different
treatment is required .Borax can, how
ever, be used in water, and when pos
sible. rain water must touch the COM
pleXion.
White wine of some kind that from
the Rhine is the best. must be used to
battle face with twice a day. or this To-
ton can be tried instead: White rose
leaves dried, three ounces, on which
has been put a pint and a half of pul-
est white wine vinegar.
Let this steep for two weeks or long
er. Then strain through fine muslin
and add a pint of rosewater and an
ounce of fresh cucumber juice. If the
skin is very greasy, a sponge dipped in
benzOin should at first be rubbed Owe
the skin and then the astringent lotion
applied. All greasy ointments, etc,
must be kept far away from the face,
and the SOfteSt towels only be used for
the skin.
Face powder must on no account be
used, as this will only help to make
matters much worse.
Did you know hat pedistry was the
latest fashionable science?
Starting from the base of the big
toe, there is a distinct line. That is
the life line. In one foot it will curve
until it terminates under the inStep far
toward the lower base of the little toe.
This means long life. If broken in the
hollow of the foot it denotes a sickness
at middle age, and if it terminates in
the hollow of the foot it means a short
life. This line is the most interesting
II in the foot. The experiments that
have been conducted lately have prov
en- this to be an almost unfailing read
ing of longevity.
Next to the line of life are the dag
onal lines, running from one side to
the other, in what is known as the hOl-
low of the foot, below the ball of the
foot. These are the lines of love. All
the home and moral sentiments are
here found. A pronounced cross line
means that a good domestic woman or
a good family mar is hereA And if the
line is broken it means domestic es-
arrangement. The originator of pedis-
try. seeking to bring the occult to his
new science, has tried to SHOW that
there viii be as me ny transverse lines
as there are to be husbands and wives.
But this is not followed by fthe true
pedists, who refuse to see more than
character traits in the lines.
Mentality is marked on the heel.
Only those with pronounced brain abil-
ity have these lines sharply seen. 9th
ers have them as mere ma .kings. If
there is a network of small fines upon
the heel it means great versatility.
People who draw. paint, play and dab
BILE in the languages have! many heel
lines. A smooth surface of heel de,
notes a placid, non-worki'.g brain.
