TO GET RID OF FREcKLES.
Simple Washes and Lotions Readily
Prepared at Home Often Prove
Very Effective.

1t is all very well to advise the girl
whose face freckles not to expose her
skin to the sun, to wear q veil and
take other similar precautions, but ii
she is fun-loving creature she will
doubtless much prefer the freckles to
denying herself the pleasure of out-of-
door sports, and who can blame her?
So when she begins to suffer the pen
atty of her shortcomings in this re-
spect then is the time to lend a help
ing hand and suggest some remedies
for preventing or eradicating the
freckles when they come.
Cold cream and a light coating of
powder before going out of doors will
often SO protect sensitive skin that 1t
will permanently keep the freckles at
bay.
Not always. however, as the cause
of these annoying little brown spots is
due to an excess of iron in the blood.
Red-haired persons are much more liza
BILE to freckles than dark-haired ones.
This is due to the same reason. Oc-
casionally with no treatment at all
freckles will disappear of their own
accord as quickly as they came. But in
nine cases out Of ten they will only
yield to persistent treatment.
One of the best freckle lotions comes
all the way from Germany, and, al
though a druggist must be resorted to
for it's preparation, it will surely attain
the desired result if applied night and
morning with soft cloth.
Of potassium carbonate use six per
cent; of potassium chlorate two per
cent; borax, one and one-half per cent;
rose water, 33 per cent; glycerin, Is per
cent? orange flower water. IS per cent,
and sugar, six per cent.
Nearly every complexion specialist,
as well as druggist, carries some rem
edy said to be eficaceous in removing
freckles. and while they all doubtless
possess virtues of their own still there
are many home recipes which can be
compounded for the purpose. Simple
buttermilk is used by some as a wash,
and certainly softens the skin, II 1t
does no more.
Freckles, as well as the predisposi-
ton to them, will sometimes yield to
massage, particularly If the following
lotion Is used in connection. Take
of Tactic acid two ounces, glycerin one
ounce and rose water one-half an
ounce.
Pour a small quantity Of the liquid in
a porcelain receptacle, from which ap-
ply it to the face with piece of soft
linen cloth night and morning. Too
frequent applications may redden the
skin or otherwise irritate it; then the
lotion should be applied less fire.
quently.
Special care must be taken to keep
the composition alright, and every
thing used with 1t must be quite clean.

PLAN FOR PHOTOGRAPHIC DARK
ROOM.

must have a proper place, and be
kept there.
l have sketched out a plan of a
darkroom, which will serve for print
ing and finishing off generally, as it is
advisable to confine operations to one
chamber. if possible.
Its internal dimensions are eight feet
by six feet six inches. The window
faces north, because the light on that
side is most constant; and in summer,
when the bulk of photography is done,
it will open on the coolest air. The
sash, three feet by two feet six inches,
Is Of the common rising aud falling
type. Inside is a frame covered with
two tI'icknesses of orange fabric, and
hinged at the top so that it may be
raised out of the way when daylight
is needed, and fastened to a hook on
the ceiling. AS further protection
against injurious rays. there should be
a curtain of Turkey twill running on
rod, large enough to overlap the
window six inches all round. The
ring OH the extreme left is fixed to the
rod, and the curtain is drawn to the
right, sc that the sink side OF the room
may be kept shaded even when the
other is strongly lighted up.
Under the window l have placed q
flap table three feet by two feet,
which will be useful for printing and
toning, and in the corners are cup
boards to hold chemicals and printing
frames. The central section of the
west wall Is occupied by sink three
feet by one foot six inches, overhung
by q tap one foot from the south end.
Against the wall is a narrow shelf
with FIVE divisions. The middle, and
largest, accommodates the lamp for
night Use. and next to it, on the right,
are the half-pint measuring glass and
bottle of 'restrainer." while to the
left stand the two developing solu-
tons. The glass will thus be ready
to the right hand, and after use it
should be returned to it's allotted COM
partment On the little shelf north of
the sink I have my toning solutions,
protected from daylight by a small
curtain, and to the south of the
tap stand the intensifying solutions.
1t Is very important to keep all these
apart from developers.
Between the SINK and the south wall
runs lead covered tray, sloping into
the sink. A second tap overhangs this,
or washing of plates or prints while
the sink is in use. Against the wall
is q rack in which dishes may be
placed to drain.
Passing the door we have q set of
curtaiEed shelves for plates and such
things as are best kept at a distance
from the window. Then comes a table
three feet by two feet, and a rubbish
box. It should be rule never to bring
anything wet from the sink side of the
room to the table N the east side OF
the room. BY observance of this rule
you will escape many chemical trou-
bles.
Rooms of the dimensions here given
are not to be had in every house, anG
many readers must put up with less
commodious. quarters for their photo

of arrangement will perhaps be use

taken the other.
The $1.30 was full-gallon; the $1.25
was 18 per cent short. The full-measure
paint was adulterated 40 per cent; the
short measure paint was adulterated 45
