Precautions to Be
Observed While
Steaming the Face

Face steaming is an aid to beauty
that may be sadly abused. Done too
often it causes the pores to distend
and the skin to become f1abby. Twice
a week is quite enough, and unless
the complexion is in a really bad
condition once in seven days will
be the best interval.
The benefit of this process of cleans
ing is in opening the pores and in
ducing perspiration that causes them
to eject impurities that would not
otherwise be thrown off. The posi-
bility of injury in this treatment con-
sists in failure to close the pores at
terward, and shrinking or "toning"
the flesh that has become unnaturally
soft from excessive heat.
Professionals have a special appa-
ratus for steaming, but the price puts
it beyond the average woman's in
come. An excellent substitute is a
chatting dish or any vessel with a
large surface that may be put over a
lamp, etc, and kept at boiling point
If for any reason one does not wish
to try this :uethod hot cloths will be
a splendid substitute. Of these there
should be two made from a thick ma
teriaI. either flannel or Turkish towel
ing
Put these wash rags into basin of
water as hot as can be borne on the
face and begin the operation of steam
ing
Hold one steaming hot cloth over
the face with both hands until it
cools, when the second should be ap-
piled so the warmth may not go out
of the skin. 1t will be necessary to
add hot water frequently so that in
the basin will not get cool.
Ten minutes is none too long to
apply the cloths.
Al the end of ten minutes the face
should be dried and cold cream mas
saged into the open pores.
The cheeks require rotary motion,
the forehead stroking, by beginning
over the nose and drawing each hand
toward the temples, smoothing as one
goes. For the chin the fingers should
meet Just on the tip and be pushed
I'D toward the ears. Special atten-
tion should be given to the crease
either side of the nose by the nos
trils. for it is there that blackheads
are most apt to gather.
The flesh, we'll rubbed with cream,
should be given a quick, thorough
washing with hot water, to draw out
superfuous grease, and the skin must
be rapidly treated to tighten it or
prevent sagging.
For this nothing is better than to
dash cold water over the face. Then
any astringent lotion may be wiped
on and allowed to remain.

KEEP AN EGG RECORD.
1t Is Only in This Way You Can Know
What Flock Is Doing.

If you have not been keeping an
accurate record of the eggs laid by
your poultry, take my advice and be-
gin with the incoming year to do SO.
A large wall calendar will furnish
you a place for the record.
Choose one that has large white
squares, and mark with a pencil each
day the number of eggs laid, using
the square containing that date.
AS the leaves of the calendar are
torn off, file them away for future ref
ernce.
On the back of each leaf you can
jOt down the number of dozens sold,
and the prices received.
/ use a small blank book containing
a specially prepared egg record, the
book being one sent out as an ad.
vertisement by an incubator company,
writes a correspondent of Farmers
Voice
If the business of keeping the rec.
ord, as well as that Of gathering the
eggs, be turned over to one of the
children they will devise some plan
best suited to their needs, for doing
this work.

Utilize the Bones.

A contemporary says that old bones
burned and pounded furnish the min
eral matter that the chicks need But
why burn the bones and thus destroy
part of the food value in them? II
they are ground or cut and fed the
mineral matter will be secured and at
the same time the other elements
will be utilized, such as the nitrogen
contained in the bones. This subject
ing them to the test of fire is waste
full of real food value. II we could
persuade every farmer to purchase
bone mill we would be doing him a
great kindness, for he would be max
ing an investment that would enable
him to utilize the bones that are SO
easily obtained either from his own
table or from other sources.

CUBS FOOD
They Thrive on Grape-Nuts.

Healthy babies don't cry and the
well-nourished baby that is fed on
Grape-Nuts is never a crying baby.
Many babies who cannot take any
other food relish the perfect food,
Grape-Nuts, and get well.
my little baby was given up by
three doctors who said that the co2-
densed milk on which / fed her mad
ruined the child's stomach. One OF
the doctors told me that the only
thing to do would be to try Grape
Nuts, so 1 got some and prepared it as
follows: l soaked 112 tablespoonfuls
in one pint of cold water for half an
hour, then / strained off the liquid and
mixed IL teaspoonfuls of this strained
Grape-Nuts juice with six teaspoonfuls
of rich milk, put in pinch Of salt
and little sugar, warmed it and gave
it to baby every two hours.
I'm this simple, easy way 1 saved
babys life and have built her up to a
strong healthy child, rosy and laugh
ing. Theafoo must certainly be per-
feet to have such a wonderful effect as
this. / can truthfully say / think it
is the best food in the world to raise
delicate babies on, and is also a deli
cious healthful food for grown-ups as
we have discovered in our family"
Grape-Nuts is equally valuable to
the strong, healthy man or woman. 1t
stands for the true theory Of health.
There's Reason. Read "The Road
to MELVILLE" in pkgs.

Hat of the Season,

A pretty and becoming hat for the
present wear is of dull grayish-stone
blocked faille, lined with black satin
and trimmed with a mass of soft
stone-colored plumage and wings held
by a great boss of cut jet, centered
by large piece of malachite, which
also holds a cloud of malachite-green
osprey. Another hat is of that lovely
pale brown which is the exact shade
of dry Spanish chestnut leaves, and
this is trimmed with masses of brown
foliage and a cluster of rose-co!ored
cactus dahlias. A third hat has the
big, soft-draped crown, made of white
satin, closely spotted with pastilles o:
gray velvet, the brim being of plain
gray velvet, and large clump of
curving-over ostrich tips, very full and
soft, one white turning to gray, with
one brilliant peridot-green.

BEST POULTRY HOUSE.
It Is the One Which Gives Best Con-
ditions for Flock.

The best poultry house is the one
the care of the poultry during the win
ter. There are several things that
must be considered in any model
poultry house. The first of these is
light. There needs to be an abound
ance of light; for it is probably true
that good health is not possible in
dark poultry house with just one lit
tie window to let in light perhaps from
the north side. There needs to be
windows on three sides of the house;
if possible, on every side except the
north. There should be window in
the east and west ends of the building
and a big one or several small ones
there should be a big one or several
small one depends on the conditions
to be met" with in the poultry house.
Really the best poultry house, de-
clares Farmers Voice, is the one that
is so built and so located that it can
be kept dry throughout the entire
winter This matter of dryness is cf

doubted if good success is possible
without it. The location of the house
on land that is we'll drained is essen
tial, and if there is not q natural To-
cation near the barns one can be made
by piling coal ashes or cinders around
the house to keep the level above the
water line.
The good poultry house will have
inside of it all movable fixtures to
facilitate the cleaning and to make
it possible to sterilize the roosts, nests
and other furniture

Little Touches That
VIII Bring Freshness
to Much-Worn Gown

Hundreds, yes, thousands, of pretty
lingerie dresses are worn during the
winter and usually become creased,
crumpled and soiled long before they
have done their rightful share of duty.
Washing the dresses makes them
hopeless for their original purposes,
but they can be wonderfully bright.
ened with little care. In the first
place a dress will look its worst on
the collar, lace cuffs and lower edge of
of the hem. Instead of washing the
garment, clean these parts by rub.
bling gently in a basin of gasoline.
1t may take several washings to clean
the dress hem. Hang in the air and
dry. Prepare little cold starch by
pouring cold water over good grade
of lump starch, stir and let settle. Dip
a sponge in the water and dampen the
dress all over. Do not sprinkle the
dress or it will iron with white spots
all over it and the sponge retains the
starch while the water contains just
enough starch to give finish unlike
the usual starched laundry work. Roll
the dress and fold in a towel until
every bit is dampened evenly from
the moisture Iron as much of it as
possible on the wrong side, press all
lace on the wrong side and after the
dress is thoroughly dry place in suit
case or suitbox and sprinkle the tissue
paper with some good perfume. When
you again need an evening dress you
have one which looks entirely new.

New York Girls Way.

The New York girl makes a special
ty of her ostrich feather collection.
She has feathers of every shade, and
she wears them with their appropriate
costume Her feather collection is
constantly growing, and she reckons
upon her feathers as dress asset for
seasons to come. The. length of a
good feather varies from half a yard
to twice that length, and there are
feathers that overstep even that limit.
In the case of hat, she buys her
feather first, then her flower and
lastly the hat, which is more easily
found in the desired shade than either
the rose or the feather. Thus she
manages to get just the shade she
needs.
