The shiny Nose.

The greasy skin that causes such
heartburnings among m who can
not prevent their noses from shining,
is a result of a disordered condition of
the fat-producing glands of the skin.
The secretion from these glands is
both abnormal in amount and is al
tered in character. being more oily than
usual. The skin of the forehead,
cheeks and nose is affected, the mouths
Of the tiny glands being dilated, and
often there is Il noticeable enlargement
of the superficial blood vessels. The
cause is unknown.
1t occurs chiefly in young adults, in
women more frequently than in men,
and in brunettes more than in blondes.
The patient may be in perfect health
otherwise, but the condition is often
met with in consumptiyes, and in amaze
mic, generally rundown subjects.
Treatment must be constitutional. as
there are no specific remedies. TONES
containing iron, arsenic oil strychnine
are often of benefit. Locally. evapor-
ating lotions containing alcohol or
ether may be tried. These. together
with some pure powder. used with dis
erection, are the only means by which
this unfortunate skin condition can be
improved. The powder should only be
lightly busted on. and should never be
rubbed into the skin so as to clog the
pores.
The face should first be washed and
carefully dried, then bathed in some
cooling toilet water. and dried again,
after which Il very small amount of
the powder should be lightly busted on.

they should be brushed the wrong way

Many a woman who would not think
OF lightly breaking Il promise made to
a grown-up person Is utterly careless
about keeping her word with her chill

venient at the moment, and apparently
thinks that the breaking or keeping
of those promises is a matter in which
she can please herself, and hat her
children have no right to consider
themselves aggrieved if she does not
do SO. A mother who acts thus does
her child grievous harm, says the Pic

sense of justice is strong in quite n lit

reasonable that he should expect his

his children's confidence. which is one
of the sweetest things which our little

Health and Beauty Hints.

~ DCa0ty
Always rub off all superfluous grease
from the face with a soft rag. A piece
of old linen is good for this purpose or
squares of white silk.
A scented bag into which a Sail
bag is put containing red clover and
lavender flowers will be found sooth-
ing to the tired woman.
In this day Of high collars it is well
to remember that the one too tight
gives a mottled, purple look to the
complexion aud makes the nose red.
Remember that a makeup badly ap-
piled increases the look of age. If
you must indulge in artificial com
plexion makers see that it is skill
fully and artistically done.
If you have regard for the strength
of your eyes never sit looking at an
object with the head turned. The
strain of looking out of the side of
the eye eventually affects the nerve.
Spraying the face with hot water is
necessary for the woman who wants
smooth, pink flesh. The hot water
opens the pores and the cleansing is
completed by a good skin food well
rubbed in.
1t is well to get into the habit of Civ
ing the face a vigorous rubbing with q
towel at least twice a day. Dash the
face with cold water and rub briskly
over the face and under the chin. This
brings the blood to the surface. clears
