The Refrigerator I'm SIMMER.

In the summer time the refrigerator,
or ice box, should be carefully cleaned
twice q week. No crevice or corner
should be overlooked. The least par
ticle of milk, butter, meat or fruit
which may be left unseen may faint the
entire refrigerator. Before the heat
comes in the morning remove every
thing from the refrigerator, including
the shelves or racks. Have plenty OF
boiling water and washing soda. Be
sure that the waste pipe is open, by
running a rod down it. Flexible rods
come for this purpose. Pour the boiling
water into the box; scald the shelves
and racks in the same way. Then cool
with cold water and wipe dry.

stirring, and pour into a jar or bottle

COIOrIess Lips.

Dear Madame Alta;
Please give me a recipe for something
to remedy white lips. l have rather
thick lips, which ooh dreadful, as they
are very pale, with q blueish tinge.
They annoy me d1eadfully, as | think
they spoil my whole appearance. Would
it be all right to use rouge on them?
l have never put any kind Of makeup
on my face. Please answer as soon as
possible, and win the gratitude of
~ GREAT ADMIRER.
The best thing to do is to consult a
physician, as white lips almost invaria-
bly, mean anaemia or poor circulation.
Blueness of the lips is often a sign Of
heart trouble. If they are colorless do
not try to hide It with rouges or caustic
liquids. There are few of these prepa-
rations, or even the continued use Of
vinegar or alcohol. which will not make
the skin stiff and unpliable and wrinkle
it quickly. Besides, they can always
be detected.
