How to Have Beautiful Eyes.

First Of all, you must make per-
feet your general state of health.
Nothing is surer index to bad liyers
than the eye. 1t is dulled and the
white becomes yellow. under which
conditions no eye can be beautiful
Bathing the eyes in sea water in
which rock sea salt is dissolved
strengthens them. And another i'm
portant point is not to fatigue them,
says an exchange.
The eye does not recuperate so read
lily as other parts of the body, and
every time those delicate muscles
ache from fatigue you must consider
you have done them permanent injury.

is exceedingly injurious. If the eyes
are tired it is comforting to lay a cloth
across them wet with hot water.

each temple and massaging with ro.
tary movement. Take plenty of sleep
and outdoor EXERCISE. If the foreign
substance gets into the eye, try to let
the tears flow and carry It toward the
nose. This IL the point from which

drop anything into The eye to produce
an artificial sparkle. You may clip
carefully the tips of the eyeashes and
rub them with vaseline at night, IL
you wish to promote their growth,

the ordinary morning ablutions is eff.
