He ALTH AND BEAUTY.

Skin cleanliness-or, in other
words, frequent ablution of the whole
PERSONS powerful preservative
against all infectious and contagious
diseases.
Lip-biting in summer is optional,
but in winter or autumn the direct
punishment is cracks in the lips that
will distress the victim all winter A
preventive is an oil that soothes and
is not palata BILE. Doctors advise lit
tie aloes in a good lip salve.
A, small quantity of glycerin rem
ders washing water emollient. One
of the drug to 10 of water is suffi-
GENTLY strong for rinsing purposes.
Many prefer one in 80. This helps to
remedy and prevent sun-scorching.
Either will leave a film, protective
and nutritive, without any accom-
panying feeling of sickness.
For washing the face the softest
water should be used with pure
soap. A complexion brush for re-
moving scales, dust and fatty secre-
tions is also valuable. In drying, rub
briskly but not roughly, with
coarse towel. Adding two teaspoon
fuls of powdered borax to the basin
of water will add materially to it's
cleansing properties.
The center parting promises to re-
turn and it is already much worn in
Paris. The girl with soft, indefinite
features wisely chooses it sometimes,
and studiously arranges her tresses
with careless grace. She wears at
night couple of flowers or chiffon
bows above each ear, while the re-
gency curl girl wears just clump of
flowers at the left side A change of
method is always good for the hair.

If government should ever become
bankrupt and go out of business, it's
public property might be sold to pay
its debts. But that can never come
to pass. Should one form of govern
ment be overthrown another is set
up in its place, and the new govern
ment takes possession Of all the pow
ers and property of the old. There
will always be some sort of order and
authority to control nations, and so
the dream of the anarchists, a total
abolition of all law and authority, will
never be realized.

When Arab Pasha went from Egypt
to Ceylon 10 years ago his deporta-
ton created a great stir. His return,
however, has caused not the slight

man. The British have been harshly
criticised for their treatment of
Arab, but such criticisms have come
mainly from Britain's enemies. The
punishment was mild compared with
