BY MRS. MAE MARTIN.

annie Laurie:" Last week / refer
red to the new fashions OF dressing
the hair, and told an anxious inquirer
what TO do when she put away her
puffs, rats and false braids. AS all the
women are now interested in this very
live topic I will repeat the recipe for
making ul1inine hair tonic that l gave
Get from your druggist one ounce or
Quinzoin, dissolve it in " pint OF alco-
hol and add Il pint Of cold water. If
you will gently rub this quinzoin tonic
in the scalp and roots of the hair once
or twice a week. you will find the
treatment not only refreshing, but In
MIGRATING and nourishing. 1t restores
the hair and scalp to a healthy condi-
ton and keeps it healthy. Quinzoin
is just splendid for preventing daa-
druff and irritation of the scalp and its
regular use will keep your hair from
coming out 1t puts life into the hair
and heightens it's natural color. al
though it will not change it. 1t keeps
the hair fine and glossy.
J. NJ. s.: You say you are unable to
find a face powder that will protect
your complexion from the wind. You
can make an inexpensive wash at
home that it far superior to any pow
der, for it will not rub off, streak or
clog the pores of the skin. Get from
your druggist ounces of spurmax and
dissolve it in " pint of hot water,
adding teaspoonfuls of glycerine.
This lotion will make your sallow and
oily skin look fresh and youthful. 1t
is splendid also for pimpies, tan, freck-
les and cold sores, for it keeps the
complexion soft, smooth and velvety.
Mrs. A. ": You are not alone in
your misery. Spring always finds
thousands of women who are troubled
with superfuous flesh gained during
the inactive life of winter. Here is
a simple and harmless remedy that
will not only stop the accumulation of
flesh, but will reduce your weight if
you are too fat. Just get from your
druggist ounces of parnotis, dissolve
# in a pint of hot water and take a
tablespoonful before each meal have |
a friend who takes off, about 10 |
pounds in a few weeks every spring |
with parnotis-and she says she feels |
better for doing it.
Ella w: The large pores and black
heads that cause you SO much embar- |
rassment are probably caused by the |
use of face powder. Almozoin cream
jelly is the best remedy l know for
clearing the skin of blackheads, large
pores and those little skin pimples
that are so annoying. You can make
it yourself. Get from your druggist
1 ounce of almozoin, mix it with
teaspoonfuls of glycerine and add u
pint of water Stir briskly for a few
minutes and let stand over night. You
can use this safely either as mas
sage or cold cream, as it contains no
fats nor oils that will cause hair to
grow. For massaging, apply with the
fingers and let remain for minute or
two, and then rub gently with the fin
gers. 1t will roll the dirt and CRIME
out of the skin and thoroughly cleanse
the pores. In cases of tan, freckles,
chapped face, etc. apply and let re-
main for few hours.
e. ]. T.: You must not expect too
much from the kardene tonic 1 gave
you a recipe for year ago. You say
it helped you last spring, that you are
suffering from the same tired out"
languid feeling now, and that your
