Health and Beauty Helps
BY MRS. MAE MARTYN

Miss Anxiety: II is a bitter confess
sion for our sex to make, but we have
to admit that the girl who takes the
best care of her complexion and general
appearance has the best chance Of get
ting a good husband. You should not
be 50 careless about those blackheads
and large uneven pores below your
eyes. If you wish to get rid of these
troubles, get an ounce of almoZoin from
your druggist and dissolve il in u pint
of cold water and add teaspoonfuls of
glycerine. Stir briskly and let stand.
Apply as you would any complexion
cream. I have had friends tell me it
was splendid for removing wrinkles. 1t
is unexceled for massaging, and will
leave the skin smooth and pliable. This
cream contains no oil or anything that
will promote a growth of hair on the
face, and / recommend it for chapped
face and hands, also for removing tan
and freckles,
James j.: Eczema, salt rheum, rashes
and similar itching skin diseases are
terribly annoying. The best remedy l
know Of is made in this way: Get from
your druggist ounces of luxor and
mix with tablespoonfuls of alcohol
and half pint Of water. Shake bottle,
pour small quantity upon affected sur
face and let dry repeating treatment
until eruptions disappear and skin is
restored to healthy condition. In gem
eral this remedy has proven very ef-
fectiVe.
Katie D: Never scratch the scalp
with the fingernails. To remove the
dandruff, stop your scalp from itching
and keep the hair from falling out,
shampoo the hair twice a month with
canthroX and use a hair tonic made by
dssolving l ounce quinzon in 15 pint
alcohol and p pint cold water This is
a splendid tonic for the hair, and if
used regularly will keep your scalp
and hair i'm healthy condition. | find
II makes the hair glossy and the scalp
moist 1t is the best and most refresh
ing tonic l know.
Harriet W: If your eyes feel tired
and are dull and inhamed, you need
an eye tonic. Dissolve an ounce of
crystos in a pint of water. one or two
drops of this in each eye every day is
all that is needed to strengthen your
eyes and make them bright and spark
ling. This tonic will not smart or burn
and is a great aid to those who wear
glasses. It makes the eyes appear
brilliant and fun Of expression. A friend
of mine, who is on the stage, tells me
she keeps her much-admired eyes beau.
tiful by using this tonic. ! find it very
strengthening to weak, inhamed, dull
and tired eyes and for granulated eye
lids.
Miss G. F.: Your letter really amused
me. You are entirely too fleshy to be
charming. 1t is no wonder your sweet
heart appears to care so little for you
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-05

since you have grown so heshy. AS n
famous actress recently said, Nobody
loves fat woman" You ought to re-
duce your weight at least 20 pounds.
Even though other remedies have
failed. try this: Dissolve 4 ounces of
parnotis in a pint of hot water and
take a tablespoonful before each meal.
This remedy is perfectly harmless and
does not require dieting. I am sure It
will do you a world of good and enable
you to regain your former stylish, slen-
der figure.
Anna r.: Q) Don't use soap when
shampoong. 1t does more harm than
good 1t makes the hair stiff and
leaves the scalp harsh and dry. Try
shampooing your hair every two weeks
with a teaspoonful of canthrox, dis
solved in a cup of hot water. ] never
use any other kind of a shampoo. Can
thrOX fathers freely and gives n de-
lightful shampoo that dries quickly. II
cleans the hair and scalp nicely and
stops all irritation. You can get a
canthrox shampoo at almost any sham
poo parlor, or you can buy the canthTOX
from your druggist and prepare the
shampoo at home 1t makes the hair
soft and glossy. (2) For a genuinely
good hair tonic see answer to Katie D..
Louise L.: Men certainly can't be
blamed for admiring pretty women. The
woman with a clear, fresh-looking,
youthful complexion deserves attention.
If you want to get rid of that shiny,
greasy, muddy look to your complex
ion, the next time yoL go to the drug
store get 4 ounces of spurmax and dis
solve II in a half pint Of hot water and
add teaspoonfuls of glycerine. This
lotion will not bsoff like face powder,
but will clear up and whiten the skin,
make it soft and smooth, and give you
a beautiful complexion. | find this To-
ton excellent for rough, sallow skim
cold sores tan, freckles and pimples.
1t costs very little and Is unquestion-
ably a wonderful beautitier
Florence: That tired feeling you have
on arising every morning shows plainly
that your blood is not in good order
You ought to take good tonic. The
best tonic I know of is made by dis
solving an ounce of kardene and half
teacupful of sugar i'm a half pint of
alcohol and then adding enough boil
ing water to make a full quart of tonic.
Take ! tablespoonful minutes before
each meal and before retiring. 1t will
clear up your blood, relieve you of that
tired, lazy feeling, give you renewed
energy and remove those pimples from
your face. This tonic will put your
blood in good condition, and make you
feel like new woman. MY experience
shows this tonic an excellent one for
clearing up salloW complexion, restor-
ing lost appetite, removing liver
bIotches, skin eruptions, and toning up
the system generally.

on up. Shorter braids are also
being worn. These are very full

MISS CARVIN TALKS OF
EDUCATION IN PORTO RICO

Miss Lucy NJ. Carvin, OF this city, spoke
before the Primary Teachers Association
on Monday on the Porto Ricans. She said
in part:
II have not spoken. Of the people Of
Porto Rico before because 1t was here
that I learned to know and love them and
to appreciate their true character. The
first two months we knew only our school
children. for Porto Ricans do not make
friends at once One OF the most inter-
esting sights in Yuaco was the Sunday
morning market. Here the peasants
gather to sell their wares and gossip
and a strange molly gathering It isl There
are no wagons in Porto Rico and the
farmer astride his animal with his pro-
duce hung on each side comes to town to
see and be with those OF his same class.
No one of social distinction goes to mar
ket, but being Americans we can do all
that is eccentric so we go to market The
dealer asks us four times what a thing is
worth. Haggling over prices Is the chief
Porto Rican Joy in this market day revel.
All kinds Of trades are piled, and the ma
tive sport Of cock fighting INDUCED in
unless the vigilance Of the police has not
been forestalled."
