Health and Beauty Notes
BY MRS. MAE MARTIN.

Molly o.: Ink stained fingers can
end.
N r.: You are right. Good looks
do not rest altogether upon classic
features. A plain girl who takes
care of her complexion, hair, teeth
and eyes often wins the race for a
husband and leaves behind the nat
ural beauty who neglects her appear
ance, wondering :" why men have
such poor taste" The proper care
of the hair requires asshaAipoo1 evj
cry two weeks and the application
of a good hair tonic once twice a
week. ID Plain canthrox gives q
delightful shampoo and leaves the
hair soft and fluffy. Simply dissolve
a teaspoonful of hot water; pour on
the head little at a time. 1t lath-
ers abundantly. CD You can
make good quinine hair tonic at
home if you will get from your drug
gist an ounce of quinola and half
pint of alcohol Dissolve the quinola
in the alcohol and add half-pint of
cold water. This tonic will keep the
scalp free from dandruff, stop falling
hair, itching and irritation, keep the
hair and scalp in healthy condition
and promote growth of hair.
f.. B.: For tan, freckleS, chapped
face, ETC., apply almozoin complexion
cream jelly and let remain for an
hour or two. This cream jelly is
used either as face cream or massage
cream, and can be made at home at
small cost. 1t contains no oils or
fats that will cause the hair to grow.
Get l ounce of almOzoin and 2 tea
spoonfuls of glycerine from your
druggist and put into a half-pint of
cold water; stir we'll and let stand.
If too thick, stir in more water. If
used for massaging almozoin cream
jelly clears the skin of blackheads,
large pores and certain types of
pimples.
Lille S.: Standing with the
weight resting on one foot is likely
TO cause one hip to grow larger than
the other. You are 20 pounds above
average weight for person of your
stature. To get rid of your super
Atious flesh, dissolve 4 ounces of par
notis in pint of hot water and take
a tablespoonful three times day just
before meals. A friend reduced 90
pounds in three weeks with the aid
of parnotis and was much benefited
in her general health.
