That Make For Acquired Per-
Sonal Charm

too much powder and do not use too
much cold cream. The little you use
will simply fill in the pores Of the skin
and make them smooth ana nice.
In using cosmetics remember that
they are considered perfectly good form
these days. for the time has gone by
when II was not good taste 10 use pow
der But, of course, like every other
good thing, it must be used in modera-
ton. Too much would be as bad as too
much Of any other good thing. It would
be worse than none at all
The Great Complexion Problem.
Then 7 tackled the complexion prob
lem. 7 dieted and I treated my skin
from the inside. knew Il would do
very little good to treat the skin from
the outside alone. I began upon the
fruit and vegetable diet. Each day
ate vegetables at the table and all kinds
Of good. warm food. including the right
kind Of hot breads. ate nothing fried
I ate nothing very sweet; I took no
sharp acids. and I was careful to drink
nothing scalding hot.
"Scalding hot drinks are responsible
for many ruined complexion. A ply
stefan told me that he had never seen
a hot water drinker with a good COM
plexion. The trouble is that they carry
the hot water drinking TO excess. They
take it so hot that it scalds the stomach,
and the result is indigestion and a ruin
ed lining.
A Regular Eater.
u ate regularly three times a day.
choosing anything I wanted; indeed. !
ate entirely from the family table, but
tables and the more digestible Of the
foods that were set forth. When we had
pork or veal, liver or very fat meat, !
ate sparingly, filling up on vegetables
At night just before 7 went TO sleep ]
ate a big dish Of stewed prunes, or apple
sauce, stewed figs, or stewed peaches
or canned fruit, cooked until It was
| hot.
~ great many persons find canned
fruit disagrees with them The trouble IS
| that they try TO eat It cold just as II
comes from the can. Canned fruit is
much more palatabIe and much more d.
gestible II II be cooked a little. II car
then be cooled again or Il can be eater
warm. But II will be richer to tho
| taste and more easily handled by The
stomach II it be heated again.
Food Should Be Cooked Twice.
And. while speaking OF foods. on,
must mention all the recooked foods
twice cooked meats are better than meat
cooked only once. Meat that Is hashed
stewed, made into pies. and otherwise
cooked a second time IS more dlgestible
| than meat cooked "A single time. The
same with breads. Bread that IS toast.
cd bread that IS steamed. bread that Is
made into savOry buildings, and Other
dishes. is better than bread that is eater
/ in its original state.
! Don't forget that foods are better #
| cooked again Cook your foods twice Il
possible and you viii never be sorry
| The digestion Of the whole human race
would be improved If foods were prop
erly cooked. And. where the digestion
! IS improved, the complexion follows
suit
Then in my beauty quest ] did no
forget the beneficial effect OF eve cuI
ture I cultivated my eyes and sooi
I changed them from plain gray eyes [,
violet eyes. / succeeded in making m,
/ eyes pretty where once they were plail
and far from attractive.
And this is what ] did 10 my eyes:
bathed them in boracic acid to take on
