Health and Beauty Advice
BY MRS. MAE MARTIN.

fluffy by shampooing occasionally with
canthrox. Get an original package OF can
throX from your druggist and dissolve a
teaspoonful in cup hot water. Massaging
the scalp briskly as you pour on a little at
a time creates a rich, cleansing lather and
when the scalp and hair are rinsed you will
find both Immediately clean. With a can
throx shampoo the hair dries quickly with
out streaking, and hair that is dull, brittle
or unmanageable will become bright, soft
and easy to arrange.
Alma: Your skin will lose that shiny, UNI
natural look and take on a velvety
discard powder and rouge and use the fol-
lowing lotion: Dissolve four ounces spur
max in one-half pint hot water and when
cool add two teaspoonfuls glycerine. APP:
ply this to the skin, rubbing gently until
dry. This is superior to powder because II
is invisible when on. does not rub or blow
off, and aside from identifying the skin
and removing tan and freckles, gives a
richness TO the complexion not possible
with powder. 1t is especially nice to use in
hot weather because perspiration will not
spot It.
Mildred; Impure blood causes a sallow,
lifeless condition Of the skin, robs you OF
energy and gradually undermines your
health. Before It is too late, get an ounce
in half pint alcohol To this add one
half cupful sugar and hot water TO make a
quart, then take one tablespoonful before
meals. This tonic soon rids the blood OF
impurities, then health and strength quick
ly return. Nothing equals a kardene tonic

Flogging in the schools Of Denmark was
stopped because of the following letter
which King Christian found in 'his mail
one morning:
Dear King-We are four boys at Flax
kebierb school and the master whips us
daily with a piece of steel rope he found
in the harbor. IL he doesn't stop there will
be a fire.
The king visited the school, dismissed the
teacher and had the boys treated to cakes
and chocolates at his expense. Then he
warned all teachers TO avoid corporal pun

WHY WOMEN SHOULD BE FAT
Thin Woman IL Almost Mt q Disad-
vantage I'm Point of Nerve
Health.

vAlas for the decree OF fashion that women
should be thin! exclaims the Philadelphia
Inquirer. A distinguished scientific sharp
announces that thin women are always
abnormal physically and mentally and, in
a broad sense, morally. II Is the thin
women who are scolding wives who drive
the children frantic and cause servants to
leave after weeks stay. 1t is an eco
nomlc loss for a woman TO be thin. and It
argues that there is some functional dis
order that calls for the surgeons knife
l This man says that every thin woman
should be operated on at once. It may
be that he is a surgeon.
Far be it from us to dispute the state
ment OF the learned physician. The ex-
XDREtS are getting entirely too many for
us There was time when It was pos
sible to keep up with the general trend
OF scientific development. but we have
abandoned that long ago. and take every
statement with simple. childlike faith, even
when the experts are Numerically OPP
posed to each other. We find II easier
TO believe everything than to sift out
what seems most logical. But we make
the point that all the doctors in creation,
including those OF the female sex, can
not make woman believe that II is worth
while becoming fat. The world Just now
is filled with women railing at dress
makers or stylemakers because prevailing
fashions are only for thin women. One
might suppose that the fat women-we
speak with all due respect-would give up
the game and wear that which is com
Portable and which makes them least
conspicuous On the contrary. they will
follow fashions demand at any cost, and
hence we see things on the street, in tho
home and at the opera which makes strong
men weep.
The only thing for fat women TO do
Is to organise and make fashion do some
thing for them. The trouble is that no
women win confess that she is fat. She
plump with a tendency to embonpoint;
but fat? Never! II you want 70 curry
favor with a woman who Is carrying
fysh. just remark thot she is growing
Zhln. You are in her good graces for
ever; but the man who suggests even 70
his wife that she ought TO train down
a bit is In for more pangs and fears than
wars or women have.
IL Is a pity that women IN these DAYS
place clothes on 90 high a PEDESTAL that
they become willing martyrs 10 every in
Vention or form-improSer. II men were
compelled to undergo one-tenth the dis
comfort imposed on women by fashion.

her experiences to the members of the

The latest letter from Mrs. Newton was
written August s. at Paris, and thanks the
members of the department who sent her
an American flag pin. Mrs. Newton says
that she wore the pin for the first time
to the Greek church, which the Russian
embassy has in Paris. She writes of her
visit to Versailles, where she stood in the
window where Louis XVI. and Marie An

that the manifestoes written by the Empress

Before arriving in France, Mrs. Newton
visited Amsterdam. where she witnessed
the ceremony held in honor Of President

Gertrude: To beautify the complexion
and preserve it's youthfluness, try an al
mozoin cream-jelly. This is splendid for
the removal of blackheads and pore impur-
tiles, as well as clearing the skin of tan,
freckles blotches and fine lines. To pre-
pare, get an ounce OF almozoin from the
water, then add two teaspoonfuls glycerine.
Let stand several hours. Using this
cream-jelly quickly clears the skin and
Charming tint without the least possible
danger of growing hair.
H. u: An unhealthy scalp causes pro-
fuse dandruff and dull, stringy, strsggly
which is inexpensive and easy to prepare.
Get an ounce of quinzoin from your drug
gist and dissolve in half-pint alcohol,
then add a half-pint water. Massaging the
scalp frequently with this stops itchiness,
removes dandruff or excess oil, and puts
the scalp In healthy condition. Its con-
tinued use makes the hair soft and glossy,
restores the original color, and promotes a
fine growth. -
Mrs A.: 1 don't think the condition of
your eyes calls glasses. Tho ache and
smart OF which you speak can be quickly
stopped IL you use an eye tonic made by
dissolving an ounce OF crystos IN pint OF
water and putting two or three drops In
each eye daily. This tonic is very bene,
fetal as IL soothes aching eye muscles AND
removes Inflammation. Using II makes
weak eyes strong and gives TO them an I'M
usual brilliancy and pleasing expression
A. D.: Do not employ the electric needle
for the removal OF those stray hairs, as II
is a painful and costly operation. Get o.
ounce OF delatone from the druggist and
with water mix little into a paste. Spread
on hairy surface and after two or thret
