How 10 Care for the Skin

clear and fresh and you can see the
color mount through it. True she may
chap a little. and redden much, but the
clear pink and white, or olive and
white. of the complexion will always
be visible to some degree.
II the stomach be soured and there
seems to be no easy remedy for 1t, a
good physician is responsible for the
advice. which is to take a teaspoon of
phosphate of soda in little hot water
4 before breakfast. and if the trouble be
h persistent, to take a teaspoon of 1t at
night. This simple powder can be pur-
d chased of any druggist by the ten cents
worth.
For a dietary, you woman OF little
i exercise try this. be you woman OF
(. leisure or woman of business habits.
This is for the woman who does not
suffer from obesity. For breakfast in
dulge in eggs cooked in some tasteful
form. Take hot breads, all you want
with plenty of good, sweet butter
Drink as much coffee as seems to
agree with you.
If your stomach will allow you tol
take fruit before breakfast, indulge in
il. but be sure that you can take 1t well.
Begin with little. There are many
people to whom acids act as headache
producers.
For luncheon try a bowl of chocolate.
If more variety be demanded, take the
twice cooked meats that are served up
for luneheons and that are both appe-
tizing and agreeable. Under the head
of twice cooked meats come the patties,
the croauettes, the minced meats, the
hashes and the steWs that form such
large part of the home fare.
Nuts are excellent for the woman
who is not very strong. Raisins are
also good. Sweets, it must be remem-
bered, supply certain want in the sys-
tenn. A woman of declining years will
relish a box of candy as much as will

Gle builder
Let the woman who seeks a rosy face
a blush with natural bloom, allow her
self full rein at dinner, paying special
attention to the vegetables, and to
those things that are not too heavy
or too richly spiced.
FOOD THAT WILL CAUSE PIMPLES.

sauce will do more toward bringing
pimples to the face than any amount
of wine or chap could do. Pickles and
milk. nuts and cream, tobacco and
spices. taken Unfortunately together,
will certainly ruin the skin.
THE VALUE OF FRESH AIR.
AS a complexion factor fresh air can
4 be mentioned Fresh air should be
heated before it is served in the family
living room. Catching cold depends
more upon stale air and draughts than
upon cold air. and the worst colds of a
lifetime are caught when one is tired
and goes out into the air feeling fag-
ged. To avoid cold and keep ons
health be sure that the air is good.
When the air is good the complexion
will also be good, other things being
equal.
HOW TO TREAT THE SKIN BEFORE
GOING OUT
If one is afflicted with a delicate
skin one should treat it before going
out. always Take just a very little
cold cream and rub it well in. Anoini
the face with bit of the cream, about
as big as a pea, letting it sink into
the skin as you rub and rub, using the
rotary movement. and rubbing gently
and gently until the whole face has its
bit of cream. Then wear a veil, the
kind depending UPON taste and eye
sight Out Of regard for the latter
choose a veil without dots.
II a woman will go to a reputable
druggist. one who handles first-class
goods. and will ask for a little bar OF
cold cream and for another of cucUm
Der cream; If she will buy a good toilef
vinegar and glycerine for lip use. pro
viding she can bear glycerine upon hel
skin. then she will be pretty well sup
piled with toilet accessories. and tn,

HOW TO Make THEM AT HOME.
But if she cannot afford this expendi
ture. sne can make them herself. A
few scraps of fat cut from the uncook
ed leg of a lamb. or clipped from tn,
