Cold Cloth Without Ice-In case Of
fever or weakness a cold cloth on the
forehead or face, or base Of the brain.
is one of the most comforting things in
the world. In the tropical hospitals and
where ice is scarce, all that is necessary
is to wet a linen cloth, wave il to and
fro in the air, fold it and place it on the
patient Have another cloth ready.
waving it to and fro, just before apply
isg it; these cloths have a more crate
ful and lasting GOODNESS than those made
so by the extreme cold, sometimes called
burning cold Of ice.

Corn Meal as a Cosmetic-After the
face and hands have been washed in
warm water and pure soap rub the skin
well with corn meal. Dust it off and
wipe the face with a piece Of soft linen.
The skin will then be as smooth as satin.

One Cause Of Blackheads- Nothing is
more conducive to blackheads and duh
color than going to bed without removing
the accumulation Of dust and powder
from the skin. Washing the face in soap
and hot water is the quickest and surest
way OF getting it clean. Castilesoap is best
and almond meal is good to use once in
a while.
