The FIRST signs of a double chin may be

POULTICESANDT THEIR USES

poultice is one of the best means
for applying heat and moisture in order
TO relax tissues and ease pain. If they
are used to remove pain in the internal
organs, make large enough to cover ad-
tacent territory, and as hot as can be
borne. If for an external wound, make
only large enough to cover the spot
Never leave on long enough to grow
cold or hard or they do more harm than
good. Have a hot one ready to apply be-
fore removing the one that is on.
There are many kinds Of poultices. but
the 5Id-fashioaed faXseed IS most gener-
ally used. It is most effcacious for
breaking up a severe cold on the chest
and in relieving the congestion in pneu-
monia. To make ii. have water boiling

How to Apply Hair Stain.

I notice in last weeks paper a recips
for restoring the hair TO its natural
color after having bleached it The ons
TO which I refer is a Physician 5
Prescriptions and the directions for
using are that the dye should be ap-
piled 10 the roots only. What ] do not
understand IS this How will the Whole
hair become stained by simply apply
ing 20 the roots? Should not the whole
head Of hair be stained first? A reply
in the beauty column as ScOn as con-
yenient Will greatly Oblige z. z.
The fun directions for using the 'iPhy-
sician's Prescription are as follows:
Apply to the roots Of the hair with =
small brush. then spread IL evenly
downward through the tresses with an
ordinary hairbrush.'

- VERY woman knows that the out
- lines OF her throat cannot only
make or mar her claim TO beauty,
but they are the dreaded finger
marks of middle age. and, though she
may carefully guard the secret of her
age, her efforts viii be useless if she
neglects to preserve the condition and
outlines OF her throat,
OF course. there are q fortunate few
who have slender throats that seem TO
survive the ravages OF time without any
great amount of care, but these are eX-
cepuons, and the average woman may
begin TO expect that dread harbinger
of age-a double chin--by the time she
has reached the early thiTties.

Beauty Don'tS

Don't wear your hair always in the
same style; a change of method is bene-
fetal 10 the hair, and to let it fall loose
ly about the shoulders is an excellent
plan at time.
Don't follow fashion blindly IN rs-
gard to coiffure, If you would have ar
tistic proportions and bring out the best
expressions OF the face.
Don't part the hair in the middle If
you are round-faced and chubby This
only emphasizes the disk-like appear
ance.
Don't hesitate to shape an ugly fore
head to beauty with fluff of soft
waves or curIs. crowned by a half
wreath, for dress-up occasions.
Don't use the eyes before breakfast.
Don't wear flowers of any and every
color. If the hair Is ike the ravens
wing. wear soft. pink flowers, roses or
geraniuns.
Don't work longer than two hours
without closing the eyes and resting
them for i've minutes
Don't use the eyes when they are tired
or weak from illness.
Don't face the light when reading or
sewing
Don't neglect 70 battle the eyes before
retiring. so as to remove any dust that
may have gathered on the lids during
the day.
Don't allow a cold, raw wind to strike
the eyes
Don't try to get a cinder out Of the
eye by rubbing the injured orb; rub the
other eye.
Don't sleep too much or too little: too
much sleep weakens the eyes; TOO little
fatigues them.
