Health and Hygiene.

From the Farmers Review-How to
Keep young In appearance ia a
matter that interests every wom-
an and men, too, for that matter. No
one cares to look old. Every woman
who values her personal appearance
cannot fail to recognize the Importance
Of a clear fine skin. A good complexion
may be called the foundation Of phys
ical beauty, for with IL the plainest
ieatures become softened and without
II the most regular ones lose half their
charm. Cleanliness Is a most potent
factor In the development and preser-
walton OF a good skin. Since frequent
bathing is necessary TO secure perfect
health, II Is also necessary for good

body a healthful glow and leaves the
skin soft and smooth. The time for
her bah was just before retiring, as
il has a soothing effect upon the nerves
and induces sound, wholesome sleep,
which is in itself a great aid in the
requirement OF pnysicai perfection.
Next to cleanliness. outdoor exercise
is OF the greatest importance. A wom-

Of her time indoors. will lack that
frmness or consistency in her COM
plexion which Is one OF its greatest
charms. A daily walk in the open air
is an excellent tonic for the complex
ion. The clothing should be comfort
able and h%ygienic. The use OF soap
upon the face Is not advisable unless
the skin Is very oily, in which case the
purest quality may be used with a
soft cloth in tepid water, followed by
a dash OF cold water. A simple, but
excellent preparation for the face and
hands which a be made at home is
made as follows: Eight ounces OF
rose water, the Juice of two lemons.
one tablespoonful of blanched and
powdered almonds. one tablespoonful
or sugar, half a teaspoonful Of borax.
Mix the rose water and lemon juice
in a china bowl and set in a larger
vessel of cold water over a slow fire,
taking care that the bottom of the
smallest vessel does not rest directly
on that Of the larger one. When 1t
begins to simmer add the almonds,
sugar and boraX stirring TO keep it
from burning. Simmer gently for ten
minutes. remove from the fire, strain
and put in a tightly corked bottle. 1t
Is absolutely harmless, and very fine
to soothe a chapped face and hands.
