IMPROVING APPEARANCE Of THE NOSE|

but it should be used in moderation
and very lightly wiped off with
soft, clean handkerchief, so that it
does not show, for no woman looks
pretty with a nose as thickly powder
ed as a marshmallow.
If the pores Of your skin are too
large, use rice powder. It is best
for this trouble.
Red noses are sometimes hard 70
cure Unless there is some distinct
skin disease, the fault is usually with
the circulation, although the diges-
tion may have something to do with
it also.
The remedy for constitutional red
ness Of the nose is eau de cologne
followed by a bath of powder The
nose should be dabbed with a bit Of
an old linen handkerchief soaked in
cologne and the moment this has
dried the powder should be rubbed IN.
This can be done twice a day i'm most
weather and oftener when it is hot.
A crooked nose can be Strengthened
by patience and persistence Sever
al times a day it should be pressed in
the right direction. and by persistent
ly pushing it to the side to which It
should go it will in time become
straight
The woman who cries a great deal
should learn how to treat her nose.
After it has purpled it should have
q dash Of cold water, the colder the
better; and water should be dashed
on the whole face. With a purple
nose there are always purple splash
es running across the cheeks.

Continuing its advice to the farm

SO many Of US lay by our crops

this leads Us to say that we have
come d long way on this crop, and

squares now see the good results Of
our work, namely, time We go over.
But now is the critical time. By lay

Our prospects, barring the wee

BY our government agents that the
Weevil has destroyed only about
twenty per cent Of the squares to

them and cuItivating we will be sure
of . fairly good crop.
We know this to be q very criti-
cal time in the fight, therefore. we
urge you to keep everything going
for the next few weeks. The recent

start. but with the prospects Of dry
