NEW CURE FOR UGLINESS.
Make Face, NJ Yourself, by Yourself. Tor
Yourself, Says Anthony Barker.

Yourself. Says Anthony Barker.
Make faces il you want to improve
your facet"
This piece of edvice is seriously presented
10 all those ambitious persons who want
to improve on natura's idea Of what they
should look like. 1t is the conclusion Of
Prot. Anthony Barker. who can and does
, make faces to beat the band.
Il admit" he says, that it sounds both
| simple and silly TO tel anybody that in
order to become handsome he should make
faces which are undeniably ugly, but it
is neither simple nor silly. II you make
the right kind of faces and do it regularly
for ten or fifteen minutes. either in the
morning or at night. you will fnd that it
will work wonders in FOUR appearance
The scaptio didn't doubt t.lis, When he
looked at the professor making faces he
was bound to admit that they worked
wonders, all right enough, but he didn't
| feel himself stirred 10 emulation.
The face maker went ont to explain, though,
that he'd look better after II while; better
oven than before he began pushing his
face to such extremities.
Whoever makes these faces" said he,
will be blessed with features which are
full Of vitality. He or she will have that
constant power of attraction which Is
possessed by any one who is the picture Of
health.
You can't learn to make these faces
properly without practice. You mustn't
think that any old face will do. No. not
any more than squirming and wriggling
the body any which way will take the place
of scientific physical exercises,
You practise for a while. and you
will find that you are bringing into play
facial muscles that haven't tcen doing a
dav's work for years. These muscles will
thus be filed with a bouniiful supply Of
fresh blood, making the skin clean and rosy,
the flesh firm and rounded
The professor las devised five faces,
varying from a Gorgpn-Ilke, staring al EaIi-
tion of frozen horror TO n twister the lrere
beholding Of which gives tie fascinated
spectator a cramp in his W face.
Here is a sample Of the directions for this
method of emtellishing cre's beauty:
Exercise 11.-Starting with TIE mouth
shut, thrust out the lower jaw as far as
possible and while holding IL there draw
the lower LIP and ajatent nq! c'es III toward
the nose. Try 10 make the lip touch the tip
OF the nose. Bring all the muscles around
tire shut eyes as close together as you ros-
sibly can. Then try 10 oI en- tie eyes with
out succeeding, DO this until the muscles
arc tired.
This stretching Of the chin muscles
takes away double chins ard ills cut Ratchet

1T ia better TO do all tho exercises gently

of small facial blood vessels will be ma de
impossible. Making these faces also de-

"The chewing muscles also will he made

contribute 70 better digestion AID essimila-

extreme Of violent blushing,"
The professor makes out a very strong
, ctlre for his pet plan. Almost too strong,
in fact. For wnen he says +ls be does that
after using these exercises -eupken eyes,
hollow cheeks end a~bnormally thin noses

without perhaps leaving even a wrack
behind.
