THE RIGHT ROAD TO
BEAUTY COMPARATIVELY EASY

Elections are always with us-more or
less-but health and com ylexions are
not, and q mere change of President is
a matter OF supreme indifference to most
women compared to their concern over a
change in the tint Of the complexion or
the texture OF the skin. The beauty doc
tors may talk exercise. health, diet, and
digestion as much as they Ike, but wO-
men won't believe in cheap and sensible
things unless they are supplemented by
rubbings. creamings. electricity. and 9TH
er spells and incantations.
IL is a good thing-for the beauty doc
tor-that her clients are OF this incred-
ulously credulous temperament, or she
would never become rich. To ne sure,
she might charge big fees for consulta-
tions. but even then her income would
be precarious. as she would necessarily
have 10 give most women the same ad-
vice and women have a way OF cOmpar-
ing notes.
For instance. she would be very apt
TO advise fruit-eating, and II she were
quite honest she would add very little
advice 10 that injunction In most cases.
Just at this season she would sing the
praises OF grapes. oranges. and above
all. apples. She would say: Apples, In
addition 10 being delicious fruit make q
pleasant and valuable medicine.
The most healthy dessert that can be
placed on a table is a baked apple. II
eaten frequently at breakfast, with
bread and butter. without meat of any
kind, apples have an admirable effect on
the general system, often removing con-
stipation. correcting acidities. and cool
ing of febrile conditions more efrectu-
ally than the most approved medi-
cines.
IF families could be induced 10 sub
