A. ID. s.; You ask for a recipe for
a greaseless face cream that can be
made at home. l have had exper-
fence with a dozen formulas, but
this is by far the best of all, and it
positively does not encourage a
growth of hair. Get one ounce OF
almozoin from your druggist, put it
, in fruit jar, and half a pint of cold
water and two teaspoonfuls of glyc-
crime; stir briskly for a few minutes,
until the almozoin is dissolved; let
stand over night; in the morning it
( is ready for use. Use this almozoin
cream as You would any cold cream.
You soon find it beauties the COM

nothing finer for removal of sun
burn, tan and freckles. If troubled
with blackheads, sallow skin or mud

1t takes out all pore dirt and makes
the skin finer in texture, preventing
return of blackheads, because large
pores are reduced in size.

Effect of a Diet.

So many inquiries have come to me re-
Gently as to how large pores of the face
may be shrunk that the topic seems worth
a special article.
To tell the truth frankly, large pores
may be reduced in size, but the process
which will do it harmlessly is long one,
and patience. as well as perseverance. is
required. Those "quick roads" to a clear
complexion are too likely to be fraught
with dangerous results, and / do not sug-
gest anything which may do that. l wish
this to be clearly understood. and when
the treatment / approve of appears to be
dull and tedious. at least let it be re-
membered that 1t is not one to repent
of later.
Diet has much to do with the condition Of
the pores of the fact. If food is not suited
to the individual and 1t is too rich the
system may try to throw it off by an
emulation of oil through the pores. 1t is
this which causes oily complexion, and
the first thing to be done by woman
whose face chronically is this way is to
change her diet radically, adopting such
food as is nutritious, easily digested and
lacking in grease. This means milk,
eggs, fish rare meats, rice spinach,
beans and the like. Thick soups, pastries
and other food of that type should be
banished. substituting fruit in its place.

for it takes time to eradicate the old con-
