think a few hints on the hygiene
Of the skin may prove OF service to
many Of our sex. The world of women
is apt to get divided into two classes
the women who make a fetch OF
their compilations and the women who
do not try to make the best Of the
natural gifts that nature has be.
slowed upon them.
Without entering on the vast sub.
ject of the value of relative washes
or tonics for the skin, wish to give
few hygienic hints which may be
found of service to those who have the
womanly instinct of wishing to make
the best of the beauty and health that
Providence has given them.
Sleep is one of the great preservers
of youth. Eight hours Of regular sleep
at night and a short nap during the
day will do much to keep the face free
from wrinkles. Always sleep with the
bedroom windows open a few inches
at the top. both in summer and winter.
A daily morning bath, tepid in winter
and cold in summer, with brisk rub
to follow, win be found to keep the
skin fresh and clear.
At least a couple of hours must BE-
spent in the open air, either in walk.
ing, bicycling or playing games, as
circumstances permit.
All tight clothing must be avoided,
as it disturbs the circulation. and is
often the cause of enlarged veins and
red noses.
The effect of diet on the skin Is
Of the utmost Importance, and many
dermatologists have made a careful
study of this aspect of the question
Abstention from all rich food and
stimulants has been tried with sue
cess. A great lady. who was famous
even in her old age for her beautifully
clear complexion and freedom from
wrinkles. was once persuaded to tell
the secret of her youthful looks. The
answer was very simple. Abstinence
had been the rule of her life. No tea
coffee. or stimulant of any kind; in
stead of taking animal food, try some
boiled fish, or a couple Of eggs every
day. Drink lemonade or water, eat
apples, grapes and figs regularly. Take
the raw juice of lemon every other
day.
Never fail to walk several miles
per day Battle frequently in almost
cold water. Above all, never let any
thing have the power to worry you,
but always try to remain calm and
cheerful.
This excellent advice il possible to
follow, is worthy of a trial. I can only
offer it to my readers with the as
surance that it has proved successful.
and has helped in more than one case
to preserve youth and beauty. 1t is
needless to add that this goes a long
way to create happiness.-London
