1t Is impossible to illustrate low hair
dressing in the limited space As your FORE
head is high, you are quite right to leave a
few curis below the pompadour. Comb all
the hair straight back, in the first place.
Then. unless you use pompadour frame
which your thin hair may not be able to
cover, gently push the front part forward
with the comb until it stands up in POM
padour- shape. Place pompadour comb on
the top of the head to hold this front hair
up-the teeth of the comb should be for
ward Draw the whole hair to whatever
point at the back of the head you find most
becoming for the upper part of the figure
eight Coil it and pin it there Experiment

coming-perhaps this will be at the top of
the coil. perhaps it is better made in four

A general lotion for pimples and skin dis
eases is composed of 1 pint distilled water
and 10 grains corrosive sublimate in coarse
powder. They are to be agitated together
until a complete solution is obtained I
should advise you to have your druggist
prepare the lotion. as it is most important
that distilled water be used and there is
sometimes difficulty in bringing about
thorough solution. Advise your druggist to
add drops of hydrochloric acid to prevent
the lotion from changing. Eat fruit. vese-
tables. and whatever agrees with you best:
battle frequently and exercise in the open
air. .s.F7
