nothing to do but wake up their Under standing as to the operations of na- ture herself.
 There is that much abused organ, the liver to which is intrusted so
 many of the chemical processes of the
 body, If it is clogged through having
 too much work thrown upon 1t as in
 gormandizing or when deprived of the mechanical action needed to stimulate | the flow of it's juices, as in a sedentary | life. 1t is not ordinary waste matter which is thrown back into the blood,
 but foreign products which no organ knows what to do with, It is this con- dition. the existence of poisonous mat ter. which gives rise to so many com plexion defects, and. when the liver is SO clogged there is nothing to do but give the system a complete clearing out An innocent little dose of castor oil, bought at the drug store for ten cents and doctored with five drops of brandy to keep 1t from griping, will start the liver to better action through freely moving the bowels. The oil must be taken on an empty stom- ach on going to bed, and the next
 morning it is wise to take bottle of citrate of magnesia to start the move ment of the intestines and further clear them.
 A diet of laxative foods after this will continue the good work of keeping the bowels in easy order, all fresh fruits, cooked rhubarb. cooked and raw prunes. spinach and greens coming un- der this head As beautifler to the skin, and a gentle laxative. molasses. too, Is unequaled, but it is necessary 10 get the very dark, rich kind and eat it with coarse bread, such as graham and rye whose rough grain is very beneficial in clearing the bowels. A sufficient quantity of pure drinking water between meals this taken hot or cold, is required, and if a squeeze of lemon juice is added to the hot water at least once a day the complexion is further cleared Other drinks of freshening sort to the skin might be sassafras and spearmint tea. The sassafras is prepared by sleeping the roots in boiling water, and the infu- sicn may be taken hot or cold.
 This getting of the bowels in good order and keeping them so with fresh foods and drinking water is required for the preliminary treatment of every skin trouble-pimples, large pores, oily condition, discolorations and sal lowness. Even freckles, those teasing little skin sprites which are so hard to banish, are more easily dispersed and dimmed if the bowels are cleared first.
 As to other foods useful for clearing the complexion, milk, sweet and sour, is undoubtedly Identifying, milk pos sessing the tactic acid which hleaches the skin, and being about the most
 natural of all foods to the stomach
 Sweet butter is also preferable to salt
 while a liberal diet of green salads
 prepared with olive oil and lemon
 juice, through the help they give in the digesting of heavier foods, is cer. tainly to be recommended. The anae mic girl who needs all the nourishment she can get should. however take her salad with mayonnaise. which is in a way quite solid food and easily di
 gested as well In fact, the more olive oil the thin, pale girl takes the better, and it would do her far more good than harm if she consumed, be sides, four raw eggs u day
