A ~
~ in the head, is a sore trial 10
womankind, and its cure or pre-
vention is always a source OF interest.
Powder. of course. may always be called
on as last resort. but usually the
AFFLICTED mairon or maid sighs for 2
permanent cure, some definite help which
cannot be blown or rubbed away and
which will give her some hope Of lasting
relief
several suggestions are given. any one
OF which VIII help materially. and if care
tul attention is paid to the offending
member and it is regularly treated as pre-
scribed, the requirement of milk-white
feature may be regarded as ceftainty.
Anyway. nothing can be lost, and the
trouble cannot grow worse because lit
lie effort is made to cure il
An habitually red nose is entirely q
question Of circulation, for the blood SET
ties in this most conspicuous feature Of
the face, and the result is most ,nat-
tractive. as many women know 70 their
sorrow. To start the circulation. nothing
is so useful as a cold bath; and this for
the nose means spraying for five minutes
every day with icy water. keeping a con-
tinual flow directed toward the offending
member.
After this. the next operation in the
cure is 10 massage the nose. always mov-
ing the hands from the tip toward the
bridge, thus starting the newly aroused
blood in the way it should go: then sosp
and water, applied with a stiff brush so
that every particle OF dust is removed
aids the cold spray in keeping the pores
closed, and thus the blackheads will soo,
disappear. These little pests are usually
part of a really forid nose. and must
therefore, be obliterated. or the white
nose will be just as ugly as the red one
was.
The first artificial aid is the spirits Of
camphor, rubbed on after the strenuous
wash with the stin brush. Whatever tho
chemical effect Of the Spirits, NAV he
it certainly has a lasting effect on the
red nose. These treatments every morn
ing and a little powder before going ont
will surely cure any poor circulation; but
the powder should be lightly applied. so
that II cannot get into and stretch the
pores that the earlier remedies have been
trying to close up.
The causes Of red nose are two: Tight
laeinS and Indigestion. The first is easily
overcome, and the second NAV be partly
cured by the habit of deep breathing
which both fills the lungs with good air
and increases the circulation Of the blood
A tea for red noses. or rather a lotion
is made Of three apples and one quince
set to simmer on the back of the fire and
left there for several hours. When the
fruit has almost disappeared. the liquid
is strained through a cloth and bottled.
A red nose caused by a cold is merely
a passing affiietion. but it may be kept
within reasonable bounds by the other
soothing oils particularly at night. II is
better while a cold endures not 10 use
powder. for it only irrhates the skin and
increases the difficulty. though a hot
spray is very beneficial When the cold
has disappeared the cold spray may be
resumed.

they killed and are keeping In their
