Extremely moderate. And it bears guar

For DIV skins.


When ones skin is oily do not try to
conceal II by excessive use OF powder.
1t makes the face pasty and clogs the
pores.
There are various drying lotions that
are excellent for this condition. Wip-
ing off the face with pure alcohol has
a drying effect on the skin. Various
good lotions are sold for this purpose,
but a teaspoonful Of borax In basin
Of water is excellent.
If you fear pure bprax try this To-
ton: One tablespoonful Of powdered
borax, two tablespoonfuls of glycerin
and quart OF camphor water Dip a
soft linen cloth In this and mop the
face several times day.
Do not make the mistake OF using
spirits Of camphor, which Is diluted In
alcohol and much stronger. Camphor
water Is made by letting two ounces
Of gum camphor stand in water for
twenty-four hours. The lump can be
used repeatedly, as Its size Is little de-
creased.

Now we're busy teaching women

who takes care of the hair. with
the hobbis skirts the old style of hair
dressing looks funny. 1t gives wo-
man top heavy look to have her hair
dressed high with pompadour and
puffs while her skirt Is drawn In
around her feet In hobble fashion. So
we devised the hobble headed hair
dressing.
'"To dress your hair hobble style you
take 1t and part 1t In the middle.
Then you drape 1t back from the face
In some soft way, and finally you
bunch 1t at the back In big mass,
around which you twist coil of hair
or a band OF ribbon or anything else
that may strike your fancy. This
makes the hobble.
While hobbie may sound awk-
ward for the head, 1t Is really the most
becoming couture we have had In
years, for II does away with the top
heavy chorus girl pompadour and
makes woman's head look more
nearly ideal. Her head keeps its
shape. and the knot at the back sug-
gests to the animated that 1t is mere
iy method Of twisting up her own

LOW RATES TO EAST
Railroads May Grant Low Fares For
Summer Months.

Railroad men are now deeply inter-
ested in seeing what class of low tour
ist rates will be granted eastbound
during the coming summer. This Is
due to the fact that most of the i'm
portant conventions which regularly
draw hundreds of thousands of dele
gates and visitors will be held in the
East or Middle West this year.
The matter of low rates is now in
the hands of the Transcontinental Pas
senger association for final settlement
at its next session, January 2S, The
association ordinarily does not es-
tablish low fare good throughout the
whole season, but will probably grant
a number of short seasons for reduced
fares, Among the big gatherings that
will draw heavily from this territory
are the meeting of the Mystic Shrine,
at New Orleans, April 12-14; the Wo-
mems clubs at Cincinnati in May; the
Worlds Sunday school convention at
Washington, May 1924; National Ed
ucational association at Boston; the
Elks, at Detroit, and the Baptist Young
Peoples Union, at Saratoga, all OF
