THE RAW EGG DIET

Believers in the raw egg diet contend
that the egg should be eaten as soon
after it is laid as possible. Several diff
ferent methods of serving the eggs are
in vogue, the most popular of which is
in sherry wine or with vinegar.
A very little Of the wine or vinegar
is required in glass merely to give a
zest to the flavor Of the egg, says
What-to-Eat. When served with vine
gar a drop Of the liquid is first poured
into an empty wineglass. Into this the
egg is broken. Then the top is covered
with another drop or two of vinegar
and a sprinkling Of salt and pepper.
The egg is then swallowed whole.
Persons who have not tried the diet
will be surprised at the ease with which
the egg slips down the throat as well
as the. pleasant taste it leaves in the
mouth. It is declared that half Of the
benefit Of the egg is lost when the yolb
is broken in eating. The eggs should
be eaten before meals, especially before
breakfast, but not every day.
An everyday diet is said to be dan
gerous because Of the superabundanct
of sulphur it would produce in the sys
tenn. 1t is advisable to discontinue thu
diet for as much as one or two weeks
at time and then to keep it up stead
lily for few days or a week again.

CONCERNING WOMEN

Out of the 400 manuscripts SUBJ
mitted to New York publishing house
during the past six months only three
were accepted, one of which was writ
ten by woman.
A woman who lives in small Con-
necticut town has invented an auger
that will bore square hole, which, ac-
cording to carpenters, will make her
fortune. Her name is Smith.
The only woman licensed to drive a
cab in Russia is an 1s-year-old girl who
lives in Moscow. Her father lost his
life while trying to save that of a
police sergeant, and the, authorities
transferred his license to his daughter
in recognition Of his bravery. K
In Servia the dislike for fair hair is
SO acute that it extends even. to the
white hair of old age. No Servian
woman who respects herself would APP
pear in public with white hair. Mon
does she attempt to conceal the fact
that she dyes it periodically. The Gus
tom has como down to her from time
immemorial. III

Treatment for Red, Rough and Oily Skin

cause may be it should be sought for

should be carefully looked after; the
circulation not restricted in any part
of the body by the wearing of tight

tonic. AS an astringent lotion use
the following: Tannic acid, Is grains;
camphor water, ounces. This can be
used several times a day, allowing it to

When the redness has been caused by
heat, cold or wind, battle the face with

the skin dust with little rice powder.
When the skin is rough and small red
spots appear on forehead, cheeks and
around the nose, this can also be traced
to indigestion. Avoid stimulating foods
and liquids; soap must not be used to
cleanse the face as the alkali irritates
and causes inflammation; cleanse with
cold cream and massage for five min,

you will find healing and soothing:
Spermaceti, one ounce; white wax, one
ounce; oil of sweet almonds, one ounce;

CHILDREN AND DISEASE


1t used to be considered as impossi-
BILE for children to escape certain all
ments-called children's diseases-as
to avoid the teething period. The in
telligent mother of today recognizes
the absurdity of this. She knows that
sound body is essential to perfect
mental growth. So, instead of taking
each attack as matter of course, she
uses every effort to avoid the slightest
ailment The best safeguards to the
health of children are a suitable
regimen, cleanliness, fresh air, pure
water and due allowance of sleep. To
the child thus armed disease is not a
frequent visitor. The old idea that dis
ease must come has given place to the
doctrine that sufficient knowledge and
care will prevent almost any evil and
this is no less true of disease than other
things.
