HOW TO WASH THE FACE.
Cleanse Thoroughly at Night With
Hot Water-Cream Should Be
Preferred to Soap.

All the CRIME of the day should be
thoroughly removed at night and the
pores of the face allowed free breath
ing space, advises Nine. Hebe. In
the next place, don't use soap and
water on the face any more than Is
necessary. Now. | am sure many
soap-and-water dends will exclaim:
"Oh, | never can do without soap and
water" Well, those who want to use
soap, and oftentimes hard or dirty
water, can do SO, and when they get
a good crop of wrinkles and large
pores they will wish they had taken
my advice. A learned physician once
took me to task for advising a cleans
ing cream for the face, and said he
always used soap and water, through
the day, and from the very ford con-
dition of his skin, and quite as many
wrinkles az his years would warrant.
I could readily believe he used soap
and water, and not the best soap in
the world or the purest water.
When I compared his skin with a
dainty, perfectly clean little woman's,
with fine pores, clear, soft and deli
| cately tinted, who for years had used
only a cleansing cream, and a dainty
toilet water during the day, | then
and there decided to stick to my opfn-
ion. 1t is necessary to use certain
preparations of soap and hot water
once daily, but this should be used at
night, and after this a cream. When
the pores are large and coarse don't
expect to improve them by scrubbing
the face, as you would the kitchen
floor. The face should be treated with
a great deal Of respect and g%entleness.
Large pores will respond to persist
ent massage, vapor and an a%stringent
but not to the scrubbing brush. Those
who use water should never, never
use hot in the morning, unless they
also use cold. They can use hot wa
ter at night. and then a massage
cream. When the muscles are relaxed
bathing with very cold water will hell
to make them firmer, but see to i
that the water is soft and clear.

lowing rules, and am sure in si'
months time you will feel well re

70 ROUND HOLLOW CHEEKS
Woman with sagging Face Should
Use Skin-Food or Try Suction
Cup to Improve Contour.

The woman with what is known as
the sagging face can relieve her bag
gard and old appearance by persistent
treatment before her own mirror.
This is done either by a combination
Of skin food and massage or by use of
a suction cup. The best skin foods
all contain lanolin and many women
fear to use 1t because it has the repu-
tation of growing hair. This danger
can be avoided If the skin food is
properly used. First, wash your face
thoroughly and dry 1t more than
thoroughly. Leave not a speck OF
moisture upon it. Now apply the skin
food and massage well, using upward
and outward strokes, downward.
Then wash out the skin food with
pure soap and water and dry thor
ough1y. The reason a growth Of hair
follows the use Of skin food is that
the pores are damp and the oil sticks
in the pores. The following is an ex'
cellent formula for skin food: White
wax, one ounce; spermacetti, one

personal liberty to select his own food
accurately.

The people have allowed the slow muir
der of infants and adults, by tricky
makers of food, drink and drugs to go on
about long enough, Duty to oneself,
family and nation demands that every
man and woman join in an organized
movement to clear our people from this
blight. You may not be able to go per-
sonally to Washington to impress your
Congressman, but you can, in a most eff
fective way tell him by letter how you
desire him to represent you.
Remember the Congressman is in Con-
gress to represent the people from his
district and if a goodly number of citi-
zens express their views to him, he Sc
cures a very ure guide to duty. Remem-
Der also that the safety of the people is
assured by insisting that the will of the
people re carried out, and not the ma
chinaticns of the few for selfish inter
ests.
This pure food legislation is a pure
movement of the people for public pro-
lection. 1t will be opposed only by those
who fatten their pockets by deceiving
and injuring the people. Therefore, if
your Representative in Congress evades
his patriotic duty hold him to strict ac-
countability and II necessary demand
equitable and honest service. This is a
very different condition than when a fac
ton demands class legislation of the Con-
gresham. Several years ago the butter
interests of the country demanded legis-
lation to kill the oleomargarine industry
and by power Of organization forced
class legislation really unworthy of a
free people. Work people wanted beef
suet butter because 1t was cheap and bet
ter than much unclean milk butter, but
the dairy interests organized and forced
the legislation. The law should have
provided that pkgs. Of oleomargarine
bear the statement Of ingredients and
then let people who desire purchase it for
Just what 1t Is, and not try to kill 1t by a
heavy tax. Manufacturers sometimes
try to force measures in their own inter-
ests but contrary to the interests Of the
people and the labor trust is always ac-
tive to push through bills drafted in the
Interest Of that trust but directly con.
trary to the interests Of the people as a

Good Tooth Powder.

A simple formula for tooth-powder
is this: -Four ounces of powdered pre-
cipitated chalk, one ounce of powdered
myrrh, one ounce Of %pulverized orris,
two ounces of pulverized borax. Mix
and sift by forcing several times
through boiling cloth. Use a firm
brush when cleansing the teeth. Re-
move all foreign particles with a bit
Of dental floss. Twice a year have
your dentist scrape away the tartar
that is sure to form in spite of the
greatest care.

ounce; lanolin, two ounces; sweet al
mond oil, four ounces, cocoanut oil,
two ounces; tincture Of benzoin, 80
drops, orange flower water, two
ounces. Melt the first five ingredients
together. Take off the fire and beat
until nearly cold, adding little by lit
tie the benzoin, and lastly the orange
flower water.
The suction cup is on sale at any
flrst-class drug store and costs from
SO cents up. 1t looks like half a glass,
topped by a rubber bulb. To use this
cup, plant it firmly on the face in the
middle of the chin, press the bulb and
the edges Of tina glass will attach
themselves to the skin. Now, work
the suction cup upward and, outward,
covering as much surface as you pos
sibly can on the right cheek, then
press bulb and release the glass edges.
Start again tn the middle of the chin
and work your way upward and out
ward on the left cheek. Always clean
the cup thoroughly after using. A
common cause of hollow, sagging
cheeks is bad teeth. No woman who
makes a pretense to good looks can
afford to have one tooth missing from
her mouth. Cosmetic dentistry has
made it possible to build up a new
tooth on a mere fragment OF shell,
and teeth are even planted in the
gums. Porcelain filings are now pre-
ferred to gold, which make the teeth
look dark and porcelain false teeth
are preferred to the more conspicuous
gold crowns. Great hollows In the
Jaws cause not only sagging cheeks
but uncleanliness of the mouth, often
sive breath, indigestion and malnutri
ton.

NEW FOOD LAW

they are used as illustrations of a manu-
,facturer seeking by example, printing on
each pkg. a truthful, exact statement or
ingredients, to shame other makers n
doing the fair thing by the common peo-
pie, and establishing an era of pure food,
but that procedure has not yet forced
those who adulterate and deceive to
change their methods hence this effort to
arouse public sentiment and show a way
out of the present condition of fraud, de-
ceit and harm.
The undersigned is paying to the pub
fishers of America about $20,00O.O0 to
print this announcement in practically
all of the great papers and magazines, In
the conduct of what he chooses to term,
ian educational campaign" esteemed to
be of greater direct value to the people
than the establishment of many libraries.
That is held to be a worthy method OF
using money for the public good. Tell
the people facts, show them a way to
help themselves and rely upon them to
act intelligently and effectively.
The reader will be freely forgiven if
he entirely forgets the reference to
Postum and Grape-Nuts, if he will but

MANY pure food bills have been intro
d1ced and some passed by State leglsla-
lures: many have been offered to Con-

such act would deprive the common

Postum Cereal Co., Ltd, perhaps the
largest makers of prepared foods in the
world, have naturally a close knowledge
,f the needs of the people and the details
af the business of the purveyors, (the
retail grocer) and, guided by this expert
ence have prepared a bill for submission
to Congress which is intended to accom-
plish the desired ends, and inasmuch as a
citizen of the U. S. has a right to o
protection ever when he enters another
State it is deemed proper that the govt
take control of this matter and providea
national law to govern all the states. A
copy of the bill is herewith reproduced.
Sec. l governs the maker whether the
food is put up in small packages sealed,
or in barrels, boxes or otherwise.
Sec. 2 governs the retailer who may
open a barrel and sell the food in
small quantities. When he puts the
goods into a paper bag he must also
enclose a printed copy of the statement
of the maker which was affixed to the
original pkg. and inasmuch as the
reailer cannot undertake to guarantee
the statement of ingredients he must
publish the statement of the makers
and add his own name and address as a
guarantee of his selling the food as it is
represented to him which relieves the
retailer of responsibility of the truth OF
the statement and throws it upon the
maker, where i properly belongs.
The remaining sections explain them
selves.
The Postum Cereal Co., Ltd, for eX-
ample, have from the beginning of its
existence printed on the outside of each

of what the contents were made of in Or

cisely what he or she was eating. A per-
son desiring to buy, for instance, strictly
pure fruit jelly and willing to pay the
price has a right to expect not only an
e%quivalentfor the cost but a further right
to a certainty as to what he eats. Or he
may be willing to buy at less cost a jelly

portion of glucose. But he must be sup
