In some places. where you have Deen. you

Useful Suggestions.
Leonia E. Dyes, agree with you that
good looks depend almost more upon the
appearance of the hair than upon fair COM
plexion, sparkling eyes, rosebud mouth or
pearly teeth, and all these good points are
set off to better advantage by the hair.
The trouble about hair is that care is mis-
| applied Energy is put into brushing it,
instead of the scalp. Brush the scalp more
and the hair less in order to increase the
vitality of the scalp For moles use
Muriate ammonia. .............-..l or.
Dilute muriatic acid. DIR.
Tfncture of benzoin. .............2 drs.
Rose water. ........................l o.
Touch moles once daily with a brush
dipped in this preparation. Shake the bot
tie well before using. In the earliest stages
of growth the application of a point OF
lunar caustic to the center of mole will
often cause it to disappear. But lunar
caustfc must be used with care.
For an eruption on the face caused by
high winds nothing is better than a cold
cream made of:
Lanoline OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. II o.
White wax. ...................... h2 gr.
Almond oil. Observation-Disclosures. Il uTS.
Sulphur Precipitated. ........... drs.
Violet extract. drops.
Melt lanolne and wax in a double boiler,
then add other ingredients slowly, stirring
until cold Apply little of this emollient,
rubbing it in we'll with tips of fingers.
At what age does woman become an old
maid? The limit is now set at thirty; in
other words at thirty is the omaginary line
which separates the term of spinisterhood
into halves the first portion being that OF
eligibility to matrimony, and the second
that of forced or voluntary resignation to
single blessedness. Nowadays, there are
no "old maids" in the sense in which the
word was once used, and the idea that mar
riage is the chief aim of woman no longer
exists in the minds of sensible people.
To make soap jelly gather together all
the bits of soap from the washStandS and
dry them. Put them in a piece of muslin
and pound them to powder. Put on the
stove with enough water to cover them and
add one tablespoonful of olive oil to one
cup of powdered soap. Heat all together.
Pour into wide-mouthed jar to cool into
jelly If the jelly becomes too stiff, reheat
it and add a little more olive OIL Keep a
jar of this soap jelly on the washstand, and
use occasionally when you want a good
lather for hands, arms or neck.
Don't forget that warm feet have much
to do with white hands. When feet
habitualiy cold the hands are always red
or blue.
Don't wear gloves every night, or the
of gloves, however, is advisable.
Don't use lemon juice too often on the
hands. Try white vinegar instead. Lemon
juice shrivels and yellows the skin.
Don't use ammonia in the bath without
applying a cold cream afterward.
Don't neglect to press back the skin
around the nails after washing the hands,
so that the crescent or half moon will
show.
Don't dry the hands with a towel but
moisture more readily.
To decrease weight do not work by fits
and starts. The woman who rides wheel
all one day and lies in bed and reads all
the next day will not take off weight so
fast as the one who rides an hour every
day. Very often woman, in excess of
zeal, will half starve herself for three days,
and then take to eating with a rapacity
which puts on more fat than she has lost.
Diet, but diet carefully. Take exercise.
Do the same thing over and over, day after
day, and you will grow thin. Weigh your
self occasionally, then you will know
whether you are losing or gaining You
may think that you are dieting and exer-
cisng properly, when in reality you are
doing everything to put on flesh. Let the
scales be your guide.
For blackheads rub on a preparation
made of:
