There are so many more topics Of
beauty sermons that | have continual
ly avoided the subject of facial crup
tons But the demand for information
in this line has been piing up into such
enormous proportions that a little talk
on that subject may not be amiSs.
Those distressing little spots than
come out on your face are caused by
various physical disorders. Now how
much more rational is it to find the
seat of the trouble and do away with
that, instead of cropping around sadly
for some little lotion to dabble on your
face and pin your faith to? And it is
ten chances 10 one that the little lotion
won't do particle of good, for, so
long as the cause is there the effect is
pretty likely to follow along in its
trail
Win some women the cause is in
digestion of some sort or other. On
this | have long ceased to marvel, in
aSmuch us for the last few years | have
been in the habit of lunching at yari-
Gus restaurants frequented chiefly by
women. ! have seen these poor de-
luded mortalS eat pickles and hot bis

mixing all these homogeneous elements
the stomach finally rebels.
And so il is not ut all surprising that
our women are all more or less near
indiGeStion'S doors. And their families
with them, because surely if Il woman
cannot make a proper selection for
herself she is rather incompetent to
select for a whole family, where dis
positions vary SO greatly. But that
was not what | was going to talk
about.
1t is Just as easy to put Identifying
food into your stomach if you will
but once make up your mind to do it,
And what a host of trouble it will save
YOU: not only in cosmetics, but also in
doctors bills. What you eat is the
fuel which keeps the engine of life go
ing. Good food makes good strong
muscles. pure blood and good, firm,
healthy skin. If there are trouble
some little blOtches on your face, then
mend your eating ways. even though
1t breaks your heart to give up those
indigeStible little dainties and pastries
that You dOte on so religiOusly. In
place of the pastry and the sweets
and the pickles and the highly-spieed
dishes, substitute fruit and vegetables.
Save all the quarter and half dollars
that you invest in sweets, and instead
exchange them for apples, lemons and
oranges that will help drive the un-
slightly pimples and red blotches away.
If possible make your entire breakfast
of fruit. being careful not to combine
the fruit with cereals. If the apples
and oranges and peaches and pears do
not make active the digestive organs,
then 20 to your druggist and have this

| 1t Is the greatest folly to ever think
of removing the soft down on the face
that so many inquiries refer to. These
soft hairs when removed are sure to
be followed by coarser and darker
ones. That downy growth is one of
the many things that looks perfectly
awful" to the afflicted one. and which
are positively unseen by others. Never
put animal fat, such as lanoline, etc.
on your face. as these invigorate the
growth of down and superfuous hairs
A good complexion brush and pure
soap are excellent cleansers of the

milk in which pinch of soda is dis

milk and lemon. A teaspoonful of am

ference in an oily skin.
