Prot. PaSchkis of Vienna Gives
Valuable Advice.
Expert In oermatolosy Tells Men and
Women What to Do In Properly
Caring for skin-careful
as to Soap.

Nienna.--Prof. Heinrich Paschkis. a
distinguished member OF the medical
faculty OF the University of Vienna.
and a high authority in dermatology.
has been giving his colleagues some
valuable advice IN cosmetics, the re-
suit of many years experience. He
thinks that doctors make a mistake
IN leaving beauty culture to mani
cures and quacks. as they themselves
are much better able to detect the
true causes of slight defects in phys
ical appearance and to remedy them.
thereby bringing happiness to many
women. and men. too.
Professor Paschkls regards wash
ing and bathing as the foundation OF
ALI cosmetics. The face should be
washed morning and evening. the
body once and the hand several
times during the day. The water
should not be hard; rain. river or
boiled water is best. For the body
the water may be according to custom
and sensitiyeness. from 60 to 68 de-
grees, warmer for the hands and quite
not for the face. As refresher i'm
mediately after the hot water. cold
water can be used to batne the face.

Capt. John Backlund. master OF an

and balsam tinetures. should be avoid

or with few drops OF vinegar, can
be added with benefit to the water for
washing the face.
For the ordinary bath aromatic
tlnctures or ether oils mixed in the
water will not only produce a pleas
ant odor. but will also exert a mildly
stimulating effect on the skin
Great care must be exercised in the
choice of soap. Alkali soaps should
be avoided. as they often produce skin
eruptions. Neutral soaps arc TO be
preferred. The soap must be thor
oughly washed OF and the skin dried
with rough linen towels by vigorous
rubbing toward the center. Sensitive
skins should be dried with a soft
cloth. An air bath is specially good
for the body after the ordinary one.

Pork is an important article OF food
with Ahglo-Saxon and Teutonic peo-
pies, and yet there are whole races
which regard 1t as absolutely unfit
for human consumption.
Snakes are not at all bad, once peo-
pie can overcome their natural preju-
dice, and lizards are eaten in many
parts of the world. Grasshoppers are
said to make excellent soup. to be
good fried or roasted, and many In
dian tribes dry them and grind them
INTO hour.
Crickets are also dried and ground
into meal by Oregon and California
Indians. and ants are used to a large
extent as food by Indians and African
tribes. The Samoan islanders are
very fond Of species of marine worm
which appears periodically at their
islands, and the natives leave all
other occupations to gather the harv.
est of worms.
In Japan ferns Of several kinds are
eaten to a great extent. while burdock
is raised extensively for the tuberous
roots, and seaweeds of various kinds
form an important article of diet.
On the American coast there arc
numerous edible seaweeds. but few
people are aware that they are edible
and nutritious. In fact. the value OF
sea animals and plants as food is lit

For women particularly the best after

But as It is shiny and doesn't stick

colored powders make the skin look
blue they should be mixed with yel-

purposes other powders may be mixed
