N OS J OF the pretty girls nave
! vi been wearing those fetching
turnup hats this summer or
those nice little bonnets that shade
ones forehead but never keep the sun
off ones nose. and consequently the
summer girl is beginning to worry
about her tanned skin and very large
assortment Of freckles
Added to these troubles there are
various skin affections which gener-
ally arise from the extraordinary col
lection Of things eaten to coax the
summer appetite
girl will eat quite nationally all
during the winter but as soon as sum-
mer comes she must depart from her
sensible menu and develop the most
outlandish combinations, washed down
with quantities of iced tea or iced
coffee. One is as bad as the other.
Shun greasy food in summer as you
would the plague. Iced tea is very
strong stimulant, and iced coffee is
completely indigestible, especially If
taken with cream.
In winter if YOU have eaten not
wisely but too well you may be able
to avoid the consequences. but in hot
weather they are sure to show quite
plainly in your face; in dishguring
blotches and eczema if there is the
slightest tendency to that trouble.
In the latter case. and indeed where
there is any trouble with the skin.
don't eat salt meat or pork in any
form. Instead of drinking soda water
by the quantity and then wondering
why you have no appetite for supper
take lemonade. Avoid FISH. too and
eat all the fresh vegetables that you
can get
A Good Ointment.
For eruption of the skin generally,
especially when it is scaley, use zinc
ointment. which can be had at any
drug store. Five cents worth VIII do
to see if it agrees with you. Many of
the skin foods and creams are excel
lent for this trouble. Sometimes it is
necessary to soften the skin before APP
plying hem Wash the face very care
fully with a good brand soap and
clean cloth. Rinse it thoroughly and
then apply cloths wrung out in very
hot water. The water must be just
as hot as you can stand It, Lay these
cloths over the face and let them stay
on for ten minutes at least changing
lust as soon as the cloths get cool
After the skin Is thoroughly softened
apply your cream, and the result will
be much more satisfactory than the
ordinary application.
This treatment should be given at
night In the morning wipe off the e
naming cream with a soft cloth Where
there are blackheads the complexion
brush should be used, but do not use it
where there are scales and pimples and
sores. Wait until these have healed,
The best way to prevent sunburn is 10
cover the face with a light coat OF
cream will do, but there are many
which come especially for this purpose.
Five drops of gycerine to one ounce
OF rose water is the ordinary prepare
lon called glycerine and rose water
You can use plain distilled water If you
want to make the lotion cheaper, Dab
this on the face and then wipe it off in
about five minutes 1t often happens
that glycerine does not agree with the
! skin.s This can only be found out
through experience, however.
Where the face is very red from sun
burn and slightly swollen, make paste
Of buttermilk and cornstarch and spread
it over the face, Personally I dislike
the odor of buttermilk except for drink =
ing, and warm milk and cornstarch are
almost as good and certainly much
pleasanter to use. Leave the paste on
until dry and wash off with more milk.
