SIMPLE BLEACHES
THAT REMOVE TAN

The secret of getting rid Of tan is in
washing the face and hands con-
stantly in bleaches or whiteners. These
applications at first may seem Intellectual,
but after a few days will prove a real
cure.

be commended but 1t must be understood
that they are to be used daily. It will do
absolutely no good to wash the hands and
face in buttermilk once day. or once In
several days; it must be many times
every day. In that way the skin is con-
stantly under the influence Of whitening
and refining properties, and if it is pro-
tected in the interval summer need have

comes in from play she should wipe her
face and neck with the whitening liquid.

Another application that is sometimes
easier to obtain than buttermilk is vine

WESTINGHOUSE TILTED.
Pretty English Girl Met Millionaire
While He Toiled in Overalls.

PITTSBURG, August 1s-Interest is
centered in the report of the broken en-
gagement of George Westinghouse, jr,
and Miss Evelyn Brockelbank because Of
the romantic circumstances under which
the young pair met.
Mr.. Westinghouse was at the English
shops of his fathers company during the
year 1905. and he worked as hard as any
laborer. One day Miss Brockelbank, who
is the daughter of Sir Thomas Brockel-
bank. visited the shops. There she saw
a tall young mechanic working over a
lathe. His overalls were covered with
Oil.
The young woman paid particular at
tentiOn to the workman, and during the
day managed to speak to him and ask
him questions about the shop.
Young Westinghouse did not reveal his
identity and escorted Miss Brockelbank
and her mother over the plant. Miss
Evelyn did not forget the handsome
young fellow and made inquiries about

death scene in Frank Norris "The Octo-

The barge was tied to pier 4. and young
Wilson, with other boys, was playing on

an open hatch into the oats. He was
slowly engulfed in the mass and finally
his cries ceased. Many Of the men at
work on the barge tried to dig away the
oats, but they, too. sank into them. and
finally hook and ladder company 60. near

EATING VEGETABLES
IN THE SUMMER TIME
Peaches Taken Without Sugar or Cream Between
Meals Will Not Add to Weight.

This IS bad season for women who
are inclined to grow stout. for almost
all fresh vegetables in season now are
f1eshmaking: so, too. are many of the
fresh fruits. What makes the situation
more difficult for f1eshy persons Is the
fact that both of these articles Of diet are
excellent for the complexion and the
blood and therefore should not be elm
mated from the daily menu.
AS suggestions of how to eat fruit with
out increasing weight. try the following:
Peaches that are most inexpensive now
are among the most desirable food. being
nourishing and thirst Quenching. They
may be eaten In great quantity and will
have little effect upon the flesh unless
sugar is taken with them. Cream should
never be used in combination with them
or any other fruit which is in the least
acid. because 1t curlles. making a fer
mentation that renders digestion difficult
or impossible.
Cantaloupe melons should not be eaten
by persons who find that they cause an
fair to say. however, that they are less
apt to bring on this state if seasoned
with salt rather than sugar. Pears are
less digestible than either of the first two
fruits mentioned. Watermelon is delicious
to the taste. but is utterly lacking in any
nourishing qualities. Therefore. when 1t
is eaten. 1t should be as substitute for
water and Is more digestble between
meals than when taken with other food.
Many persons will find that fruit eaten
by itself. not with the meals. Is less apt
to ferment in the stomach. Doing with
out water, making the fruit juice take its
place, Is also an aid to digestion. Water
may be drunk freely. however, half an
hour or so after eating.
Eat But Little Meat.
1t Is practically impossible to eat too
many fresh vegetables. and /, would be

mutton. lamb and the like only heat the
blood, and as less heat is taken from the
body in warm weather than IN cold. 1t Is
not necessary to give the same food sup
ply that Is required in winter: String
beans. beets, spinach. boiled cabbage and
other watery vegetables are NOT rat max
ing. Corn. green peas, lima oeahs and
the like. do make flesh. But 1t should be
remembered that they may be eaten now
by persons VINO should avoid them In win
ter. because the increased now or perspi-
ration will help to keep down the weight
and counteract the starchy enect OF what
they have taken into their systems. 1t Is
also worth bearing in mind that not
drinking water with food will do much
toward preventing additional weight.
Salads. with French dressing or mayon-
naise. not vinegar and sugar, should be
eaten freely at this season. There Is
much nourishment in olive Oil and the
flavor of vinegar is appetizng. Added to
that. all crisp green salads have an excel
lent effect upon the blood. acting as gen.
tie purifiers and cleansers.
Ice Cream Is Fattening.
Ice cream is. In effect. something like
fruits already told of. Taken with meals
it is fattening. Eaten alone. as substi-
tute for food. it is nourishing; is not fat
tening and Is easily digested. There Is no
better luncheon in summer than a cup of
cold consomme. followed by q dish Of
ice cream. not sherbet The latter is al
most entirely water. while the former is
largely milk. 1t should not be regarded
as a luxury, but as q necessary hot
weather food. and the best quality that
can be afforded should be bought. The
better it is. the more cream 1t contains,
the more nourishing It becomes.
Iced liquids. taken in quantity. with
meals, are both fattening and indigestible.
Nevertheless. 1t is not to be expected that
people will give them up. SO the next best
thing is that they shall be taken between
meals. They will not then paralyze diges-
ton, and the harm done is greatly les
sened.
