Eraroiss for Beauty Seekers.

Just before going to bed the beauty
seeker should go through deep breathing
and free hand exercise. These relax az
the muscles after the tension of the day
The body should be stretched to its ex-
treme length and the blood should be
made to circulate freely and rapidly.
The person who is very tired Will ind
that a little of this exercise vii be con-
ducive to speedy sleep.
The exercise Of standing with heels
together and then raising the body grad
ually on the toes is one Of the best. The
process of jumping up and down for eight
or ten times Will send one 10 oeo IN
pleasant glow.
Every girl should keep box of almond
meal onh err dressing table and use 1t
frequently on her face. 1t is much bet
ter plan to wash the face in tepid water
at night and then rinse 1t in cold water
in the morning. One should be able to
keep clean during the day by the use Of
cream, which is wiped Off with flannel
cloth before putting on powder.
The proper time TO brush the teeth Is
after each meal and at bedtime. Before
this is done all particles of food should
be removed from between the teeth by
means of a toothpick. or, better still
dental floss. Then hey should be brush
ed thoroughly with a brush of medium
stiffness dipped in tepld water. Very hot
and very cold water are equally harmful.
The brush should be used with an up
and down movement, and not sideways
only. The backs of the teeth should be
brushed even more carefully than the
fronts, for it is there that tartar tends to
accumulate. Many think that tartar Is
harmless, but this Is an erroneous be-
lief Its accumulation is one of the prtn-
cipal causes of the loosening Of the teeth,
ad its presence exposes one constantly TO
the recurrence of gum bolls.
