! self? will give you the most explicit GOLD ELsIlThe only way possible 1 to regain the white neck Is to cease wear l ing high collars. They are responsible | for most of the yellow necks and so long 1 as the cause continues the effect will re- main. Use this whitening wash every | night: One-fourth ounce white rose leaves steeped in one-fourth pint each of fresh lemon juice and brandy for three hours. Press, strain and decant. Put on cold cream, too, whenever 1t Is conven- tent. Do write to me again after you have tried this treatment and let me know if it was successful.
 MRS. c. E. C.-Here Is a recipe for the very best cold cream that know of:
 Pure white wax, 1s ounce.
 SpeTmaceti. IA ounces.
 Sweet almond oil, 1A ounces.
 Rose water, 2 ounce.
 Take this only to f1rst-class druggist, who will take the time and pains to mix the ingredients properly. Massage this we'll into the skin at night with the tips of the fingers; let remain ten or fifteen minutes and then wipe away with soft cloth.
 A SUBSCRIBER-Almo meal, if pure, is most excellent for the skin and a nice way to use it is to put 1t into little cheesecloth bags moisten thoroughly and rub over the skin. For the blackheads scrub the face each night with camels hair face brush, pure castle soap and tepid water and use this lotion: One-half pint rose water, one-half pint orange wa ter; add drop by drop one-half ounce simple tncture benzoin, six minims tinct- ure myrrh and a few drops of glycerine. Merely sponge the surface lightly with the lotion.
 F. F. F.-You probably are not perfect ly strong physically, which is the cause of your hair falling out. Anything that will strengthen the constitution is pretty sure to bring luxuriant locks. Why not try the old-time remedy of sage tea on the har It is f splendid 45e advd Dd bo them into a tea Add two tablespoon fuls of alcohol to the quart and use as you would any tonic, applying it to the roots night. Once. a week is altogether too often to wash the hair. Once every three or four weeks Is better, unless the hair Is excessively oily. in which case once in two weeks is quite often enough.
 FLORENCE SYLVIA THOMPSON-F. F. F. also asked about falling hair. Read what 1 have just said to her.
 BELLA DREW-Taraxacum has the effect of cleansing the system of bile or impurities secreted by the liver, The or dinary dose is three-grain pill, which tenn seems to require 1t. For the com plaint that you mention you might try in int that trouble. As | have said before in these columns do not prescribe for dis ease or complaints, and think that medi- cine should not be taken unless pre- scribed by ones own particular physi- clan. I can't advise you concerning the advertised article you mention, as l know
  not believe that superfiuous hair can be permanently removed by the use of depilatory. If l were you, should sim ply rub prepared chalk on the tiny hairs and pluck them out. It is the only safe process of removing them.
 l.. l. G-I do not think the cocoanut oil will have the effect that you fear. Oils do stimulate the growth of hair where it is inclined to grow put as IL does not usually show a tendency to grow on the neck and shoulders, do not be- Ieve that the oil will develop it.. You might try milk baths for the neck and shoulders, or massage them with puTs cream. The exercise, If not indulged Tn foo violently should be developing and strengthening to the muscles and round out the hollows.
 ETHEI-Please read answer to +. +. F. Tn addition to what have told her to do. hrusb the hair frequently and keep the ends well clipped. Also every few days give the hair a good summing ana alIlng.
