Cheer up and read the first instalment, of an in
tcresting series of exercises that will soon put to
flight all those imaginary ills.
TONIC FOR SCALP
NIobee-Thank you so much for your com
plimentary letter. Yes | must needs speak right
out in meeting occasionally, because some women
must be told the plain, unvarnished truth, and
they will accept 1t with better grace than if a
personal friend had told them. Most patches are
often caused by liver or intestinal trouble An
excellent ointment is: One ounce of benzonat
ed lard, one dram of white precipitate, one dram
Of subntrate of bismuth. Apply at bedtime, first
bathing the face well. Drink plenty of butter
milk. 1t is good liver corrective and will clear
your complexion.
TINTING THE FINGER NAILS
Rosy finger tips and pink nails are things of
beauty, and when Nature is stubborn and refuses
10 lend her aid to their attainment then art must
be called upon. Here is simple method for tint
ing the nails After the fingers have been well
lathered and washed rub the nails with equal
parts of cinnabar and emery and then with the
oil of bitter almonds The chamos or polisher
may then be applied to each nail separately until
fine polish is obtained, but it should be remem.

carefully avoided by all women of refinement

REFORMED BY LOVE

of courtship, says that he will then she glows
with pride at the power OF her love over him.
Unfortunately, that is not the correct way of
viewing the problem. 1t is not sufficient to de-
pend solely upon her love for him; it is neces-
sary to gauge the depth OF his love for her This
is the rock on which the happiness of life is
often wrecked. Our love for others cannot do
every thing; when we hear that good woman
has reformed this that man, must bear in
mind that there has been engendered in the heart
OF that man either love or admiration for the
woman, and that this love or admiration his
side is the motive power that drives him willingly
to reform.
The girl who is prepared to take the risk may
argue that her love for the man will be so
strong, and so apparent to him, that it will COM
pei affection on his side, even should his present
love be evanescent. That may happen, but the
chances are few. If a man has weldehned
"kink" in his moral nature it viii be a gigantic
task to get it out, and there will be very little
prospect of success unless the love on both sides
A man may have the same question to meet,
for we cannot claim monopoly of the virtues.
Love can reform, provided that il has suitable
ground to work on. That il the whole matter
in nutshell.

oughly to a creamy paste, makes an excellent
ointment for cuts.
WHY PEOPLE GET INDIGESTION
Suferer-Because they do not sufficiently
masticate hard food; eat too quickly; drink too
quickly; take too much fluid with meals; do hard
brain work while eating; take their meals in
snatches while attending to the shop, the chill
dren, ETC.; partake largely of hot. greasy foods;
drink tea or coffee with fresh meat; injure the
stomach by drinking strong spirits.
Rosebud-The Vaucaire remedy is absolutely
harmless and is of food than a medicine.
The beautyseeker who is carrying about fam
boyant nose should look carefully after her diet,
avoiding all highly spced, stimulating foods, rich
salads, pastries, strong coffee, etc Apply this
ointment to the nose every night: One dram of
powdered sulphur, two and half drains of pow
dered starch, one and half ounces Of zinc oxide
and three drops of oil of rose.
TREATMENT FOR ENLARGED PORES
Mrs. w. W-The best way to correct a case
OF enlarged pores is to lay down certain hygienic
rules of living, and stick to them. Drink a great
deal of water, so to keep the kidneys in per
Los Angeles herald., 1907-01-13

Among every womans toilet requisites should
be of dental floss, which should be relig
iously used after every meal, for the casual
cleansing with soft brush usually given the teeth
has little effect in disodgng the particles of food
which cling to the crevices and which are a men
to the health of the teeth. BY using it be-
tween each of the teeth become reason
ably sure that the cleansing is effective.
Brushing the teeth is art in itself for the
usual method of running the brush lightly and
swiftly over the teeth has little effect except
upon the outer surface.
The brush should be used that the motion
is toward the crown, and the nsides should be
cleansed just the same the outsdes The up
per molars on either side are apt to be neglected
especially if one has a small mouth, so that es-
pecial should be given them.
While it is quite possible to purchase good tooth
powders, there many spurious ones on the
market, SO it were much better for woman to
have prepared that she knows exactly
the ingredients.
A very good one is made from one-half ounce
of camphor gum, two and a half ounces of pre-
cipitated chalk and one and a half ounces of pull
verized orrs root, Add a few drops of the
camphor and mix in a mortar, then add the
powders, Mix thoroughly and sift through bolt
ing cloth.
Sometimes the gums become spongy and soft
and teeth loosen, This condition is commonly
known as Riggs disease and is most distressing
A soothing and healing lotion which is most
valuable under these conditions is made from
one dram gum mastic; one and a quarter dram of
gum arabic, powdered; one-quarter dram Of bal.
sam of Peru and two and a half ounces of orange
flower water. When thoroughly agtated add one
and half drains Of tincture of myrrh.
ANY bad odors Of the breath may be DESTROYED
by using a mouth wash composed of five drams
of pernanganate of potash to a quart of dis
titled water. Use few drops of this in a glass
of water and rinse the mouth care being taken
that the liquid does not touch the clothes, as it
will stain,
Canker Of the mouth is most unpleasant and
often painful, A specific for it is made from one
ounce of pure honey one-quarter dram of powder
ed boraX and one dram of tincture of valerian
Take one or two teaspoonfus daily and rinse
the mouth with alum water
To make the breath sweet and also preserve
the teeth there is a delightful elixir which may
be used.
Take of cloves - grammes the same amount
of anise seed; 30 grammes each Of gum mastic and
cinnamon; Az gramnes each of catechu and
peruvian bark; 30 grammes of ncllitory of Spain;
five grammes of essence of peppermint; 2lz
granmes of essence of cinnamon; 100 grammes
spirits of horseradsh and IL quarts of alcohol

powerful caustic is made of one ounce of calcium,
one ounce of quicklime and one ounce of powder
ed starch. These are mixed together in a paste
and put into a tightly stoppered bottle. When
used the paste is spread over the affected parts
with bone or ivory knife and left for from five
to ten minutes; then the flesh is cleansed with
ukewarm water. If the skin is irritated use
soothing talcum powder.
THE FASHIONABLE COlFFURE
Fashion Devotee-The coiffure is still built up
to meet the eccentricites of the pquant small hat,
to which it is fastened by means of amber and
tortoiseshe hatpins. There is rather craze for
amber colored tortoiseshell, even with dark hair
ed people. Large side combs are still worn and
still higher back combs. The Spanish comb con-
tinues to hold its own and Spanish lace scarfs are
worn as theatre hoods.

TO DEVELOP MUSCLES OF TRUNK
An excellent exercise for giving poise and
symmetry to the whole body is that of standing
erect with the chest thrown out, extending the
arms horizontally to their full extent, and while
holding the arms firmly in this position, twist
the hands upon the wrists.
Many exercises have been devised for lengthen'
ing the waist and rendering the body plant and
supple, but the following one will not only exer'
else the muscles of the trank, but brings those
OF the rest of the body into fine play
L have given the first and last position of the
exercise. The first position is to place the hands
back to back, while the arms hangs loosely in
front, then the arms should be gradually raised
to the second position, bringing the hands in
front of the chest and at the same time gradual
ly rise upon the feet. Then spreading raising
and Strengthening the arms, bringing the hands
above the head, with the finger tips touching
closely together. At the same time rise still
further on the feet until standing as much on the
toes as is possible and still maintain your bal
ance. This exercise gives a wonderful grace and
suppleness to the whole figure and is easily
done with little practice.

or thirty. Thanks to tennis and other
sports women keep their trimness far longer than
they used to do, and at forty, instead of being
unattractve, elderly frumps, they are often at
their very best The reason is not far to seek;
they have learned to use all their charms and
gifts in the most effective manner and they have
no longer the conceit and arrogance which so
often seem part and parcel of youth

woman has rubbed off, in contact with the
world, her rough edges. She is now dignifed and
self-possessed whereas she was formerly awkward
and shy. NOW she knows how to listen well
as to talk, and when she speaks she has something
to say which is worth hearing for her experience
has given her the art of pleasing others, and also
knowledge of men and matters which a girl
often assumes only to expose her ignorance. In
matters of dress, too, she is successful than
formerly. She knows more about the colors she
may-and may not-wear, and she takes care, as
no girl would do, that the cut of her clothes
| is just right for her figure.
The woman of forty, if a spinster is often far
more attractive to men than her fat younger sis

something is lost during the longer intervals.

due to the fabby abdominal muscles this is es.

abdomen and all the muscles of the bowels.
Their circulation is stirred and consequently
all abdominal organs stimulated to do their
work in a vigorous manner Where there has
been sluggishness OF these parts this exercise is
effective in restoring normal functions. This
same exercise has been known to prove beneficial
in cases of spinal curvature.
SHOULDER RAISING BENEFICIAL FOR
THE LUNGS
A useful exercise for filling the tops OF the
lungs with air is shoulder-raising. If the shoul-
ders are even they should be raised together with
energy as high possible, then lowered gently in
order not to jar the head. If the shoulders are
uneven, practice raising the lower till both
are on a level. As you know, tuberculosis or
consumption generally attacks the top or apex of
the lungs first and this exercise is most valuable
in bringing the air into these parts, thus keeping
them in condition to resist the inroads of disease
to which they may be naturally susceptible to
a greater or less degree. Uneven shoulders are
very common as well an ungainly defect.

fectly healthy condition. Eat fruit to keep the
digestive organs active. Take a course of com
pleXion treatments that include massage and
electricity. The idea is to set the glands and
blood vessels about their business, so the skin
will refine itself. 1t is when the pores mac

small indentatons. Use the complexion brush
every night with warm water and pure CASTLE
