Health and Beauty Talks
BY MRS. MAE MARTIN

Mrs. L. G.: 1t is not necessary that
your face reflect your age. You could
easily have a much finer, clearer,
smoother and more youthful complexion
If you quit using powder and tried
good lotion. Dissolve four ounces spur
max in a half-pint hot water and add
two teaspoonfuls glycerine. Apply this
to your face, neck and arms, and it will
improve your looks wonderfully. It will
soften and whiten your skin and remove
that shiny, greasy. sallow look. This
inexpensive lotion will not rub off like
powder, and is very beneficial in pre-
venting and removing freckles and skin
pimples, and makes a wonderful skin
beautifier. You can get anything 1
recommend at almost any drug store
B. Sisters: If the patrons of your
beauty parlors'' object to shampoos
made from soap on account of the great
danger of the soap alkali running the
Iustre of the hair, try shampoo made
by dIssolving teaspoonful of canthrox
in a cup of hot water. and after sham
pooling, rinse the hair as usual. Can
throX makes the most satisfactory sham

and leaves the hair bright. soft, fluffy
very quickly, is entirely beneficial and
will not cause faded, streaky or discol-
ored hair as soap and most shampooS
are likely to do.
Weak Eyes: Wearing glasses is not
likely to help your weak, dull inflamed
eyes. What you need is a good strength
ening eye tonic. The next time you go
to drug store get an ounce of crystos
and dissolve it in a. pint of water. Drop
a. few drops of this, in each eye coca
