at herself In the glass. Nov my own
mother does not know me.
Il had a clear, pink, pretty skin. I
looked like a vegetarian girl-and you
know the complexion the vegetarians
have. My hair was smooth and shiny, and
my lips were lovely.
Now my lips are rough. My skin is all
colors. not counting the spots that are
peeling of at this minute, and my hair Is

be good thing. As for my teeth. I forgot
to mention that they are disoolored from

"A month In the country Is almost as bad
as sea voyage, and heaven knows there Is
nothing In the world that will so utterly
destroy your good looks as the Atlantic
In the pouring Bunsh1ne.
The woman who Is back from the country
with GALAXY OF ills can begin at once to
restore horself. For few days she will
find herself busy and her hands full, trying

80 the work will be less strenuous and will
admit Of divided attention.
She will want to bleach her teeth, and

changes Of hot water. until all the soap
Is gone.

discolored, IL there are gray hairs, or II
there Is a roughness Of the scalp. little
treatment Is necessary. Take as much
sweet oil as will fill thimble half full.
Castor oil Is better, but it's odor is disagree

a little powdered borax.
II the hair Is naturally red. 1t can be ben
