Jane T re-: Your mother is abso-
lutely RI Notwithstanding the fact
that yo- reached the advanced age
of 20 y, q, cur mother still is COM
petent a5ri you. 1t is downright
folly fol ny ai to use rouge and car
mine.
Mrs. L. =. r. First of all. stop wor-
rying. Worry only increases your thin
ness and 81 lIowness. Be cheerful; eat
an abundance Of eggs and drink plenty
of milk. To purify your blood and rid
yourself Of phnpes and blotches take
system tonic made as follows: Dis
solve l ounce of kardene and y teacup-
ful of sugar in y pint of alcohol and
IL pints of boiling water; take l table
spoonful 3 minutes before each meal
and before retiring. This recipe makes
full quart of tonic that will not only
cleanse the blood but makes the liver
moro active, which will tend to clear
your sallow complexion.
Ethel J.: / 1t made me happy to
read your letter. l am glad you think
so well of my recipes that you cut
them out and pass them along to your
friends. None should have difficulty
in getting from her druggist any ingre
dent / name. for l never advise the use
of anything that is not sold in first
class drug stores everywhere. .. The
only objection I know to the use of
liquid complexion beautifiers is their
high cost when purchased in a ready
manufactured state. You can make at
home fine Liquid powder" that soft
ems and whitens the skin by putting
teaspoonfus of glycerine and 4 ounces
of spurmaX in u pint of boiling wa
ter; let stand until cold; apply with
the palm of the hand and rub until
dry. ! prefer this spurmaX wash to any
face powder l can buy
Fern D.. Do not drink cold water at
meals. The sudden deluge on the food
in the stomach chills it and prevents
the digestive juices from acting free
ly, thus letting the food lie passive and
causing Indigestion.
Mae Nee: Blackheads are some
times slow to yield to treatment, but I
feel sure that if you use faithfully a
cream jelly made as follows you viii
find relief: Get from your druggist l
ounce of almozoin and put it in half
ounce of cold water to which you have
added , teaspoonfuls of glycerine; then
stir briskly for few minutes and let
stand until it becomes thick. Massage
your face with it and it will thorough
ly cleanse the pores and the dust and
CRIME viii roll out and off the skin.
This tends TO make large uores small
and prevents the return of blackheads.
1t also clears the skin of freckles and
tan and keeps it smooth, moist and pill
able. IT is worth while noting that this
almozoin cream jelly contains no oils
or animal fat that is likely to cause
the growth Of superfluous hair
Three Jolly Girls: A shampoo
should be a delight, not torment. If
the cleansing is done thoroughly, a
shampoo every two or three weeks is
all that is required, no matter how
heavy the hair nor how dusty the oc-
cupation l know of nothing better
than plain canthroX for shampooing
purposes. Any beauty specialist will
give you a canthrox shampoo, but if
you prefer to have it at home just get
a package of canthrox from your drug
gist and dissolve a teaspOonful in a
teacupful of hot water. Then take your
shampoo by pouring the mixture on the
hair and rubbing in well. 1t will
cleanse the scalp thoroughly and leave
the hair soft and fluffy. / asked one
Of my girl friends to whom / recon-
mended canthrox how she found it. Her
answer was: ooh, my; never saw any
thing like it. 1t made a whole tubful
of lather"
