be few greater misfortunes that
can befall woman than to
have her face marred by pimples
or other eruptions. The cause
of these blernishes is found in

Catching Cold.

The most critical time OF the year n
with US now, when the. majority OF peo-
pie set up their spring colds. There II
only one thing that I know OF more OBJ
jectionable than a cold in the head, and
that is the person who insists upon tell
ing you how to cure IL. The giving OF
quite useless advice is a weakness we all
are prone TO. and only the truly great
can refrain from giving way 10 It,
Even these succumb at times. and I can
safely say i have never known any one
who could resist the temptation OF pre-
scribing for somebody elses cold. Here
are few examples Of the most popular
remedies in vogue for this distressing
complaint: Absolute starvation for twen-
ty-four hours, drinking nothing but cold
water; that II number one. Then eat as
much as possible, more II you can. and
drink nothing at all from the morning un-
I'll evening A third prescription is TO go
To bed and take nothing but hot lemon
ade. A fourth says do not go to bed, but
sit up In warm room and eat onion soup
with your feet in mustard and water So
IL will be seen from the foregoing that
there are remedies to suit all tastes
The only difficulty is that in deciding
to try any one i'm particular you run the
risk of offending all your friends and re-
lations save the author OF the prescrip-
ton you have chosen; and even then. II
IL fails to have the desired result YOU
will be told. with obvious annoyance, that
you have not given II n fair trial Ny ex-
perence is that "A cold In the head viii

ing that can do much more than alleviate
