BUTTERMlLK AN
AID TO BEAUTY

Those women who have a regard for
their complexion as well as for their di-
gestion have learned the value OF butter
milk as a refining and soothing agent.
In warm weather, when cooling FOODS
that are nutritive and refreshing are the
order of the day, buttermilk is absolutely
Indispensable once its true merit is dis
covered.
A taste for buttermilk, like olives, must
initiated proves disagreeable, becomes ex-
tremely gratifying, so much SO that many
devotees come to prefer It to phosphate
or other soda fountain drinks during the
warm days. Care should be taken to
procure fresh buttermilk, as the other
kind is far from healthful. 1t may be
detected by a biting acid taste. while the
fresh milk is merely agreeably tart.
AS a cosmetic buttermilk is most Ct
fective as a substitute for water. In this
case it is applied freely with a soft cloth
and rubbed well into the face. neck and
chest. Soap should not be used. and the
parts covered should be thoroughly sat
urated with the milk. After being al
lowed to dry slightly the application is
washed off gently with warm water In
which a teaspoonful of borax has been
dissolved. Fresh buttermilk is then ap-
piled gently with the fingers and allowed
to dry. After being sunburned or free
killed. buttermilk should be applied as soen
| as possible and allowed to remain on the
skin. Water should not be applied while
the skin stings or smarts.
A disagreeable feature OF the milk as a
cosmetic is its odor. For this reason II

ana to use reliable skin food or powder
during the day. Because OF its efficiency
as a bleach and as q food both for the
body and the skin. and because OF its
commendable cheapness, which is q point
worth considering, 1t occupies an impor-
tant position in the search for health

Care of EyeIashes.

Long. curving eyelashes are desired by
every feminine heart. because they cast
alluring shadows beneath the eyes, and
every beauty student knows that these
shadows enhance the briliiancy Of the
eye. making Of 1t a large mirror Of
dreams and the things dreams are made
of.
In a rejuvenating treatment for lashes
brushing plays an important part. Great
care must be taken In clipping to cut
only the broken and bent ends Of the
lashes. Straight clipping causes them

THE POPULARITY OF
SPOTS AND STRIPES

We are to have a great many spots and
stripes of varying sizes and widths in a
diversity Of materials. The old-fashioned
foulards are again with US. fashionable
from the fact that the English queen has
shown penchant for them. A quaint
example Of spots was seen on a hat which
had the entire crown and half the sur
rounding brim in dark blue silk with
white spots. At the back some pointed
ends Of the silk stood erect, more resem-
bling the ears of an inquiring rabbit than
anything else. Another hat worn by a
very pretty girl was a Napoleon shape in
buff color, trimmed with a dark blue and
white striped ribbon. With 1t was worn
a navy coat and skirt. with q little jabot
of bufk-colored frilling worn in the front
of the coat.
To those who can wear 1t successfully,
the low Dutch collar Is ideal. but 1t Is
becoming to very few indeed. To begin
! with, it should be entirely relegated to
youthful wearers, and no woman on the
wrong side of thirty should attempt 1t.
Nothing shows the first touch Of the
ravages of time as the neck has the un-
happy tendency to do, and a white throat
and firm contours are essential In the
wearing of q low collar. The hair Is

variety or too thin. On the whole. there
are SO many "donts'' in connection with
this fashion that 1t is best avoided ex-
cept by the favored few. To them, how
ever, the GOODNESS and delicious absence
of stiff or boned collar must strongly
| recommend themselves.

A game which affords plenty of amuse-
ment for the little folks. and is not too
young for the grown-ups, is called q pro-
gressive peanut party. Small tables are
arranged for four contestants as in cards.
4 large bowl. with round bottom, Is
filled with peanuts in their shells. and
each player is furnished with a common
hat pin. At the sound of the bell the
players take turns trying to spear the
nuts, each one continuing until he fails
to set a peanut. At the signal to change
the two players who have succeeded In
spearing the most nuts progress to the
neHt table.
II prizes are to be awarded a score

inexpensive and appropriate gifts for the

COMPLEXION LOTION
MAKES ROSY CHEEKS

In writing for the Los Angeles
Star, Mae Martyr, the famous writer
on health and beauty topics, says:
ANY woman who desires rosy cheeks
does the worst thing imaginable by
trying to color them with powder or
rouge. Every one notices that painted
look and it is only question of time
when her face will be rough, sallow-
looking and beset with large, dirt
collecting pores
IAN inexpensive lotion made by
dissolving four ounces spurmax in
one-half pint hot water with two tea
spoonfuls glycerine added, is far bet
ter than powder or any other COM
plcxion beauti6er. This lotion does
not show like powder and gives the
skin clear, clean, wholesome look
that lasts much longer than when
powder is used. 1t removes the shiny,
oily, sallow look and leaves the skin
smooth, rosy and fresh looking"

care and cultivation of this popular
product. In fact. it was a regular pea

Of powdering or coating peanuts in the

The investigation was under the super

F. B. Balm, OF Wakefield, Va. pro-
prietor Of the Balm Peanut Company,
cleaners, introduced samples of peanuts
and explained their method of cuIIing.
In the lot was a sample OF low grade
peanuts which, he said, he had pur-
chased as being of the 1910 crop. In the
lot had been found two bags which were
undoubtedly Of the crop Of 1905 or 1909.
He protested the dealer should not be
held responsible for the farmers cul-
pability.
That is the idea we are trying to
get at said DR.. Wiley. IF you buy
1910 peanuts and 1909 peanuts are palmed
on on you, II Is fraud on the part of the
farmer. And II Is the farmer who is
amenable. have no DOUBT you would
all prefer to sell perfect peanuts II il
were possible TO buy them OF the farmer.
And that is what we are trying to make

who must bring up his standard.
Worms may be healthful article of
food when fresh" continued DR.. Wiley,
but II is not lawful to sell them to
persons paying for another article We
may not thrust worms upon people who
prefer peanuts"
He then took up the original question
OF what percentage OF weevil cut might
