There is no excuse for the woman

tbe cause, my dear madam, and rem.
sdy it.
There are two reasons for a poor
.kin. outward irritation and sluggish
ambition Of the internal organs.
No woman who has q bad digestion
ar intestinal troubles need ever dream
AZ having a clear, bright skin. She
should leave facial lotions alone and
seek the aid OF a good doctor. No wo.
man who is afraid Of pure air can ever
he beauty, and she who wears tight
clothes is actually suf1ocating the
pores of her skin, so that they cannot
breathe, and the result Is a mottled.
unhealthy pallor.
II you sleep In room with windows
wide open. If you pay attention to
YOUR health and IL you exercise, You
are bound to have a good coIOr--no
necessarily rosy cheeks, but healthy
unge. The texture OF your skin may
not suit you-that is matter for local
treatment-but don't make the mistake
of applying the local treatment first
when the trouble Is more than skin
deep.
And before speak Of the different
forms Of treatment want to observe
that the daily tub bath and rundown
do more for the texture OF the skin

stimulate the circulation and work
wonders in that way.
Now, as to other things, the face
should be washed every morning and
every night with hot water and a pure
soap of the mildest quality. The water
should be as hot as one can stand.
s This opens the pores Of the skin and
frees the dirt and Impurities. But
after this hot application the skin
should be carefully rinsed (for IL soap
Is allowed to stay 1t makes 1t yellow
and Ieathery), and then cold water, ice
water preferred, should be applied to
the face to close the pores.
The woman who washes her face
with hot water and then goes right out
into the dust of the street is bound to
have a sagging face and coarse pores.
More than that, she viii be no stranger
to blackheads, as these are caused by
dirt accommodating in enlarged pores.
So don't forget the cold water applica.
ton.
Before retiring at night the same
washing with hot water should occur,
only instead Of closing the pores with
the cold application they should be
allowed to stay open to receive nour-
ishment in the shape Of a good skin
