Fever blisters, or cold sores, as
some calls them, are very disfiguring.
They may come from suddenly chill
ing the blood when heated, or they
may result from digestive troubles.
The best cure, of course, is to find
the trouble and remove it. Sometimes
if they are rubbed vigorously when
the first symptoms of their coming are
felt, they will disappear; the following
remedy, too, is helpful:
Carbolic acid. 800. drops
Glycerin ...... 1 tesspoonful
HOSeWater ........1O drops
Then, Of woman finds that her lips
have settled into unpleasant lines, and
sometimes they do, few lip gymnas-
tics are helpful These should not be
done to such an extent as to make
lines or wrinkles on the face, but If
the lips are moved about and pursed
up until any fixed habits of expression
that they may have formed are broken
up, it will add to their charm.
At this day little need be said about
the beauty of sound, white teeth. Moth
ing is so repellant as teeth that show
the need of the brush, such teeth will
spoil the prettiest face, and teeth that
need attention soon tell their need by
their breath. No woman who has any
regard whatever for her looks can af-
ford to neglect her teeth or have an
offensive breath.
Well-cared-for, rosy fnger-nails are
a great point of beauty. They may
seem a little thing to many women,
but they are one the trifles that
make for perfection. They are not
only a charm in themselves, but are
so indicative of daintiness that they
stand for much more than they appear
to-
A little daily care will keep the nails
in a condition that will charm the eye
by their daintiness, quite as much as
does the complexion or the eye with
it's pr tty color.
When the hands are washed, the
flesh at the base of the nails can be
pushed back gently with the towel.
About one a week the nails should
be manicured.
Use an orange-wood stick, which
costs but a few cents to loosen the
cutlcle, and do this gently. The nails
are easily injured, and If the orange
wood stick is not handled carefully the
little unsightly white marks seen on
so many nails will appear.
II the nails break easily rub with
cold cream or white vaseline or cocoa
butter, and their brittleness will be
lesSened.
These are all little 'hings to do, but
they will add much to the sum total Of
beauty.
The woman who Is beautiful by
right of perfect features and complex
ion can not afford to neglect them.
And the woman who has % make
the most of natures dover will find
that by making the most OF these
seeming trifies she has added lot to
her beauty equipment.

there are the tender leaves of ram

cowslips, all of which may be used
with great advantage in the same way
as dandelion leaves and served with
poached eggs or as "roties."

The value of lettuce as chief of the

Sometimes, by a very slight opera
ton, this protruding can be remedied,
but, of course, this must not be done
except upon skilled advice.
If moles or warts or brown spots
develop, and they often do, these can
easily be removed, and they should be.
Science today has made the removal
of these things a very simple matter,
and often face or throat, that should
otherwise be very pretty, is spoiled by
some such blemish
The condition of the lips has much
to do with the attractiveness of the
mouth. They should be red, smooth,
fresh as a rose.
Their color depends upon the health.
If the circulation is poor they are apt
to be blush; if a person is anaemic
they are pale. They are very good
indicator of the condition of the
health, and if their color is not what
it should be, one should go right to
work to remedy the condition that is
causing their unhealthy hue.
Then, too, if the lips are rough and
chapped, even though their color is
normal, they are most unattractive.
High winds or an exceedingly dry
air will chap the lips. Some women
continually wet their lips with the
tongue while out in the air, and this
causes chapping.
Cold cream is excellent for chapped
lips, so, too, is glycerin and rosewater.
When the lips are sensitive to the
winds use little on them before 60

If the eyebrows are too thin, vase
line applied just to the right spot, will
help thicken them, but the practice
must be persisted in. A rub now and
then, or a weeks trial, is not apt to
show satisfactory results. A little box
of vaseline should be kept on the toilet
table, and the eyebrows treated as
regularly as the face is cleansed. If
the eyebrows are neither too thick nor
too thin, but just right, they will be
the better for a little care. If they are
brushed gently each day with small,
soft brush, they will show the effect OF
this grooming. They will be softer,
finer and keep their arch better and II
there is any defect in their line, brush
them so as to cover this defect, and in
time they will take the direction de-
sired.

dynamite and Tree Planting.

Possibly what at first sight appears
to be the strangest application Of dyna-
mite is for the purpose of planting
trees. Yet its success in this connec-
tion is said to be peculiarly remarka-
