Size Of oreaon Mosquitoes.

The late Col. l.. l.. Hawkins was
fond of telling a mosquito story of his
own, when Mazamas. gathered round
their evening campfire, had to fight on
the singing pest at the foot of snow
mountains. where the hot footed
birds" are often troublesome You
can talk about your big mosquitoes"
said he, after the tale telling drifted
into fairy topics. but we (meaning
Rodney Gilsan and himself) can tell
something about mosquitoes ourselves

asked: How big were they, colonel?'

that many of them weighed a

The American is about to interrupt

SO the two together return to the

The throat and neck should re-
ceive the same treatment.
When wrinkles have made their ap-
pearance and are due to illness or
nerve strains, something more in the
nature of tonic as well as tissue
builder is required To make such a
skin food combine 80 grains of alum,
three-quarters of an ounce of almond
milk and three ounces of rose water.
The alum is put into the water and
dissolved before being mingled with
the milk.
The latter is made by blanching al
monds (about IL will do) and pound
ing them in mortar with pestle.
After being broken a few grains of
granulated sugar is added, and then
a gill of rose water. The last ingre-
dient goes in drop by drop, the pound
ing continuing until the nuts are as
fine as they can be crushed. The
mixture is then covered and stands
over night, when 1t is strained and
ready for use.
Very heavy wrinkles follow a great
loss of flesh in the face, and should be
treated promptly, or the skin will be-
come hopelessly sagged Best for this
is a cream made of four ounces of
fresh mutton suet, IL ounce of
glycerine, 80 grains of benzoin tine
ture, 25 grains spirits of camphor,
eight grains of powdered alum, equar-
ter of dram of powdered Russian
isinglass and half an ounce of rose
water.
The suet should be melted and
strained, and equal the glycerine in
quantity Should there be more of
the suet, reject the surplus.
Mix these and put in the alum
Warm the rose water slightly and melt
the isinglass in 1t. Combine these
with the first two while they are still
liquid, and then slowly stir in the
tinctures.
Let the mixture stand until it con-
geals, and then massage the face night

FOES TO WRINKLES

Pearl Barley Water Probably the Best
of All Lotions-Feeds the Tissues

1t is easier to prevent wrinkles than
to cure them. This is not a new or
original statement, but 1t bears repeti-
tion because it's truth cannot be too
firmly impressed While a woman is
still young and her skin is fresh she
should try to keep it so. To do this,
select applications both cleansing and
healing OF the many lotions, etc,
recommended / would suggest pearl
barley water as being most helpful to
flesh that has begun to show lines.
1t is made by putting three ounces
of best pearl barley in pint of boiling
water and simmering slowly until the
liquir has extracted the starch. This
is easily told by the slight thickness

strained out and thrown away and

In the proper consistency 1t is soft,
but not sticky For half pint of the
liquid 10 drops of tincture of benzoin
should be added when the former is
cold.
One cannot do better than to use
this exclusively for cleaning the face
1t feeds the tissues, does not dry the
skin as clear water may, and is not
a cosmetic. 1t should be applied by
