For the Face.
Few things are more unpleasant to endure
or to contemplate than hot shiny face, OF
to have to shake hands with a person af-
fiicted with damp. wet hands. To attempt
to remedy a shiny face by the too frequent
use of the powder puff results frequently In
a blotchy complexion. Even on the hottest
days the face may be kept quite cool by
bathing 10 in hot water and then giving 1t a
cold douche. A small piece Of alum dis
solved in the water in which you wash your
hands will render them dry and cool. Gu
cumber lotion will help to keep the skin
cool and the complexion good In the hottest
weather It easily can be made at home.
Take one or two cucumbers that are just
beginning to turn yellow and cut them into
small pieces without peeling. Put these
into bowl and pound with wooden po-
tato masher until the mass Is a watery
pulp. Now filter through piece of clean
cheese cloth, squeezing out as much juice
as you can from the refuse. Now put the
refuse and filtered juice into a clean en-
ameled or graniteware saucepan and SIM
mer genty-don't boil-for ten minutes.
Then restrain, and when cold add alcohol in
the proportion of one tablespoonful to half
a pint of the strained liquid. Bottle and
use this to sponge your face with instead of
washing it during the day or on coming in
from a walk or ride in the sun, at which
times water should never be allowed to
touch the face if you want to keep the skin
in good condition.
A good lotion for summer freckles is made
follows: Take the strained juice of one
lemon, half an ounce of pure vinegar. one
ounce Of alcohol ten drops of oil of cedar,
ten drops of oil of lavender, and about five
ounces Of rosewater. Mix. the lemon. juice
and vinegar together. add the alcohol in
which the oils Of cedar and lavender have
been dissolved. Pour into an eight-ounce
bottle and fill up with rosewater. Put this
lotion on the face at night before going to
bed and wash off in the morning with
warm water followed by cold.
Hair Dressing.
There Is a distinct tendency to greater
width in the latest style of couture. The
hair Is pushed forward by means of the
ever useful combs. which now made in

Is much more common In infants than gen.

is accused of being cross or hungry and has
forced into his stomach food which It does
not need or want. This, perhaps, causes a
new pain in addition to his other troubles.
With earache the cry is sharp. vigorous and
often continuous. The sufferer usually will
put his hands to his ears; older children
often will push the finger into the ear; even
young infants who have not yet learned the
use of their hands will In some way reach
the ears or sides of the head.
Ordinarily earache is relieved by the use
OF some hot application, and small rubber
ear bags come made expressly for this pur-
pose. These may be filed with hot water
and applied. 1t Is we'll to make a small
flannel covering for the bag to prevent any

Many Mothers

Think nature must have erred in giving
children a sweet tooth. but children, on the
other hand. regard the jam pot and the
sugar bowl as the depositaries of all that is
most delectable. Neither side is quite right
and neither quite wrong, Sugar Is not the
poison and the spoiler OF digestion that the
careful mother thinks II is; neithe is 1t bet
ter as food than roast beef and bread and
butter as the hearty youngster thinks
The truth Is that sugar is a food, and a
necessary one but il may be taken In too
great amounts. Foods divided into two
great classes-the proteids (meats. eggs and
leguinesJ. which contain nitrogen as their
most important element. and the sugars,
starches and fats. composed chiefly OF car
bons. Both Of these are necessary-the pro-
teids to buud up the framework of the body.
and the others to supply energy; the pro-
teids are the iron of the boiler and the ma
chinery, the fats are the packing and the
sugars are the fuel; all are necessary to the
perfect working of the human machinery.
The danger of taking sweets is in overdo-
Ing. The world $ consumption of sugar has
increased enormously in the last half CEN
fury, although the necessity for muscular
exertion land therefore the use of fueD has,
through the introduction of labor-saving
machinery. decreased. Much OF this sugar
has gone into the stomaChs. not OF rollick-
ing boys and toiling men who can use up lot

dren may and often do eat too much candy,
but will not suffer much as long they
are In the active state of existence, for
while they romp they are expanding energy.
and their little machines consume a vast
amount of fuel. The danger is in forming
a habit that may be carried on into seden-
tarY form OF life.
