CARE Of
THESKIN


wishes a healthy skin The skin OF
the man who labors and perspires is
really cleaner than the skin of the
man who battles and battles but leads
a sedentary life. This is not a plea
for abstemiousness in regard to bath
ing, but for rigorous exercise. BY ex-
ercising vigorously the circulation is
quickened, the blood being sent rae
ing through the veins, carrying life
with it. Precipitation is increased
You must breathe, and, what is we'll,
unconsciously you fill the lungs, the
benefit of which is UNNECESSARILY
greater than that derived from stand
ing before an open window ''inhal-
ing seven times. The digestion is
strengthened 'rfhe nerves will be
quiet, the harassed mind soothed. and
the skin will become supple and soft
You must eat slowly. Cut down
the amount of your diet one-fourth,
and give up tea and coffee-that is
ABOUT all; in fact, all to the person
with no active skin disease. Isn't
it simpler" OF course we know that
all overwhelming and over-eating
coarsen the skin. Therefore, exer.
cise perspire. eat SLOWLY and reduce
your diet only about one-fourth.
The drinking of water might come
under diet, for this one agent is
most efficacious in clearing and refin-
ing the skin. Drink several glasses
of water daily, between meals, CIV
ing up coffee and tea in the mean
time, and in three short weeks one
will notice a change in the freshness
of her skin. If a woman has ye:-
low patches, sometimes called liver
spots, disfiguring her skin, they win
disappear if this taking of water is
persevered in. Many people are
dying for water No plant can live
without it, no human be well without
it,
The principal benefit of bathing
apart from its cleansing qualities, is
the stimulating effect upon the cir
culation A cool bath daily is almost
a necessity for health. 1t sends the
blood coursing through the veins and
capillaries, many of which wither
away when no blood is forced through
them Gradually inure yourself to 4
cool bath, your colds will disappear;
no woman with colds ever had soft,
creamy skin
You will agree that the greatest aid
to health, and its barometer
beautiful ep:dermis-is exercise: for
activity is life. and the penalty for the
inactive is that they either become
weak pale and thin, or weak. red
and fat.
AS exercise is the important agency
IL assisting and producing internal
health, so is outward manipulation
the agent conducting To the outward
health of the skin. Every woman
should know that the blood must be
brought to flow through every small
capillary if the skin is to have the
look of health.
Even the red face-unless a dis
ease, when the woman back of the
skin should be treated-.will be bene-
| fitted by rubbing and pinching of the
skin. The woman or girl who daily
manipulates her face scientifically, or
has it manipulated regularly, will
have much better complexion and
a softer skin than If her face We're
not treated. Most poor compilations,
muddy, oily, dry or yellow, will be
benefited by this intelligently applied
outward stimulation. The poor COM
| plexioned have some affection OF the
sebaceous glands; either they are
coarse and oily, or they are pitted
| with dead subs,anc which they are
not able to expel, and the skin is
dry For this condition careful
scrlDbing with complexion brush is
advised, even when The deep, button
like pimples are present. If, on the
other hand there is no irritable erup-
| ton, treatment should be soothing
