FOR THE HOUSEWIFE


Many women who otherwise have
clear, pretty compilations are annoyed
and troubled with an oily and greasy
skin. Applications which are benefi-
cial TO oily skins seldom contain any
ingredients which will tend TO make
hair grow on the face and therefore
eau be used without fear OF the conse'
auences.
Lemon juice Is excellent for an oily
skin The proper way 20 apply this Is
70 cut a lemon IN several slices and
rub these on the face after washing
and before drying IL.
Rice powder Is good. Probably the
most agreeable wash 10 apply to the
face Is one made OF equal parts OF wa

Horses and mules thrive on alfalfa
pasture. While alfalfa Is too rich a
food for mature horses unless used In
combination with some other rough
ness, IL Is an excellent feed for young
horses, as Il seems TO contain just the
elements necessary 20 develop bone,
muscle and consequently size. Caution
should be used, however, in feeding
alfalfa 70 horses, particularly II they
have not been accustomed 70 IT, Like
other concentrated feeds, II seems TO
stimulate all the physical processes TO
such an extent that various disorders
OF the digestive system may appear.
This Is particularly noticeable in the
