Dear Madame Alta:
l would like you to inform me how
to remove what appears to be a small
wart on the tip of my nose, without
leaving a scar. 1t has been on for a
number. of years, but only lately has
become noticeable and is very embar7
RAISING. MRS. e. w. S.
If the wart is pendant, and if you
can make up your mind to stay in
the house for two or three days, it may
be removed by a ligature. Double a
white silken thread and tie tightly
around the base and pull hard. This
will simply cut it off, when you should
battle it with peroxide and any heal
ing preparation. If the wart is not
prominent enough for this treatment
you will have to remove it with an
acid, either acetic, nitric or a caustic
potash or lunar caustic in pencil.
Spread spermaceti or wax around the
wart SO that no acid may touch the
skin. 1t may leave a small scar, which
will fade in a short time.
Dear Madame Alta:
1 have always heard that olive oil is
splendid as a tonic and to make one
stouter. Will you please let me know
through your column just how it is used
and what it will do to the system2 ]
am tall and very thin, and am subject
to headaches. 1 will be obliged by a
prompt reply. MISS.D. S. A.
Not every one realizes the medicinal
properties of olive oil. The machinery
of the body needs oiling occasionally.
like n mechanical machine which is
constantly in use, and olive oil, taken
internally, will be exceedingly beneficial.
A tablespoonful will aid the digestion
and cas- liver trouble. This oil should
be served frequently as a dressing, and
is not only pleasant on vegetables, but
serves as an appetizer as well. Taken
internally, either with salads or alone,
it is benficial for catarrh, either of the
stomach or throat. 1t is known to be
a great help in cases of rundown ner-
Gus system and loss of weight. It
should be rubbed well into the skin, the
entire BODY being massaged with the
oil, particularly the spine. After mas
saying with olive oil use a Turkish
towel, rubbing well over the body. As
a preventive of colds mix it with quiz
nine n rub on the chest and back.
1t can also be applied mixed with cam
phor to cure oreness of the throat.
There are nervous headaches, and
there are headaches which are caused
by ill-conditioned stomach. Sometimes
a headache will result from being over
tired, n sometimes from eye strain.
If l were you l would consult a physi-
clan, who will no doubt be able to locate
the cause, and effect a cure.

Among other embroideries those done
in floss silk are coming very much to
the front. This old-fashioned thread
was revived a couple of years ago, n
is being now used more and more. En-
broideries done in this medium are SOFT

way which gives them variety, n
when they are lightly interspersed with
crystal bugles or beads they have a
very delicate effect. So much cheap
