MY FACE IS MY FORTUNE
Mrs. Sangster Gives Practical Suggestions for
the Preserving Of Girlhood Beauty.

Perhaps a few plain words ought 10
be said about maintaining the regular
functions of the body In perfect and
rhythmic order. Any interruption In
the periodicity OF nature will soon
show itself In ravages that are sofne-
times tranEient and too often permA-
nent In their ruinous effects. Consft~

health and consequently to beauty that
a girl has to fight The tendency to
this Is increased by neglect and by fg-
noring the fact that the waste of the
vital fame left free to burn very much
as ashes removed from the furnaces
leave the fire unclogged.
Country girls, even more than those
brouhRt up in towns, need a caution
on this point, and 1t is par ticularly nec-
essary to remind those who are visit
ing or travelling that they must take
pains to suffer no interruption In the
regularity of the action of the bowels.
From a false notion of delicacy, this
subject is too often slurred over and
avoided. but all the cosmetics in the
world. all the massage, the cold creams
ana the PERU mes will do less than
nothing for her who suffers from
chronic constipation. In its wake fol-
lows trail of painful and disgusting
maladfes: some of them only curabic
by the surgeons knife.

Last OF all. this maiden who says so
proudly that her face is her fortune,
must have plenty of refreshing
sleep. Nearly everybody sits up too
late, and as many people are compelled
70 rise early the amount OF sleep gained
Is too small to do real good. Long lifa,

good conscience and a good nights

for remaining beautiful all through
life.
