FIVE-MlNUTE SCALP MASSAGE !
Persevered In, This Treatment VIII
Bring Best Results and Hair
viii Not Become Oily.

If your scalp is dry and shows dan
druff. get a bottle of ordinary red
vaseline. Put a very little of the vase
line on the tip of each finger of your
hand; then rub the tips of the fingers
of the other hand against those that
have vaseline on them. There should
be apparent then only a slight oiliness
of all the finger tips. Next place the
finger tips upon the scalp at the edge
of the hair, one hand at either side
of the head 1t does not matter much
whether you start at the nape OF the
neck, or on the forehead, but wher-
ever you do start, let the hands be an
even distance apart. For instance,
place one in back of each ear. Once
started rub the finger tips above each
temple, slowly and gently forward, un-
til they meet at the crown of the head,
then draw them back to the starting
point in the same manner. Repeat
this operation until the finger tips be-
come dry, when more vaseline should
be applied to them. By means of this
five minute massage more vaseline is
rubbed into the scalp than one real
lies, and it is well nourished thereby.
If the massage is properly carried
out, that is to say, always started at
the hair line, and little vaseline used,
the hair will not become the least oily
rs a result.

IMPROVING SKIN OF THROAT
Just Few Minutes Each Day, With
Proper Applications, Will Ac-
compIish Wonders.

If the skin of the throat Is loose and
baggy, dip the tips of your fingers In
alcohol, massage from the throat up
ward toward the chin, and then from
the throat downward toward the
chest. Do this two and a half min
utes, and the remaining two and
half massage with pure skin food
along the same lines. You will find
that alcohol is absorbed rapidly, and
that if the skin food is applied quick
ly after, it. too, will sink quickly in.
When finished give the throat a few
dashes of cold water and pat dry.
Now, if you wish the best results,
do not put off starting this massage
until you are badly in need of the
treatment, for then five minutes Will
hardly suffice Start right in now and
make a five-minute massage part OF
your daily toilet Keep it up and in
time you cannot help but notice a de.
cided change in your skin. Five min
utes may not seem worth while. but it
will surely help to retain the beauty
you do possess, besides keeping in
allegiance the many troublesome blem
ishes which affect the skin

Draped Lace Tunlcs.

Although perhaps the lace tunic has
a tendency to ESQ It's wearer it has
compensating merits which recon-

even younger women who have a ten

eminently desirable as years come fast

Affairs at the Flying Heart Ranch
were not all to Jack Chapin's liking.
Ever since that memorable foot-race,
more than a month before, a gloom
had brooded over the place which
even the presence of two Smith Col
fege girls, not to mention that of Mr..
Fresno, was unable to dissipate. The
cowboys moped about like melancholy
shades, and neglected their work to
discuss the disgrace that had fallen
upon them. It was a task to get any
of them out in the morning, several
had quit, the rest were quarreling
among themselves, and the bunk
house had already been the scene OF
more than one encounter, altogether
too sanguinary to have originated
from such a trivial cause as foot
race.

MOST NUTRITIOUS FOOD
BUFFERS USES OUTSIDE OF CON-
BINATlON WITH BREAD.
Should Be Freely Used as Season
Ing and as neutrality-suspicious.
FIavors That May Be Added
as Desired.

The full value of butter, both as an
appetizer, as a nourishing article of
diet, as a seasoning and as a garnish-
ing, is realized by very few cooks.
Butter Is really one Of the most valu-
able foods in the larder. 1t is not
merely to spread chunkily on bread
although it is good enough there; it
should be made an interesting part
of the meals at which it is served.
In middle class French families the
real value of butter is better under
stood than it is here. Every morning
the butter Is left at the door, just as
the milk is; and 1t Is fresh, creamery
butter, too, for the most part-always
fresh instead of salt. The butter is
then chilled and shaved into wafer
like strips for breakfast, to be eaten
with the rolls that form the body of
this meal. At luncheon butter is fire.
quently served-always daintily-with
bread and radishes, or some other
side dish, as an appetizer. Then, eat
en- slowly, its goodness can be appre-
ciated.
II the making of butter pats or
molds is a burden, try making them
only once in three days. Keep them
in bowl of ice water in the refriger-
ator, and they will retain their shape
even in the warmest weather. 1t does
sometimes seem troublesome for maid
or mistress to have to spend five or
ten minutes before each meal making
butter pats; but fifteen minutes once
In two or three days will be enough
for the making of many molds. since
the utensils and materials need only
be got out once, and since certain
deftness comes with repeated making.
and the second score of butter balls
can be made in half the time it took
to make the first score.
The small wooden molds are easier
to manage than paddles, and surely
prints of butter from the molds look
and taste as we'll as balls of butter
formed with the paddles. To manage
the molds. wash them in ice water,
and then stamp the butter out care
fully. taking care to push the bottom
of the mold as far out as possible be-
fore removing the print. The butter
should be cold when it is printed.
Horseradish butter is good with
cold meats and it Is also delicious to
use when making meat sandwiches.
To make it, cream two tablespoonfuls
of butter, add two of freshly grated
horseradish. a tablespoonful of thick
cream and half teaspoonful of lemon
juice. Keep it on the ice.
Maitre d'hotel butter Is used to
spread over broiled steak or fish. To
make 1t. cream two tablespoonfuls of
butter, add slowly a half teaspoonful
of salt! an eighth of teaspoonful Of
white pepper. tablespoonful of lem
on juice and the same amount of
minced parsley.
Parsley butter can be used with
vegetables To make it cream three
tablespoonfuls Of butter and add a
tablespoonful of lemon juice. the same
amount of minced parsley and half a
teaspoonful of salt.

OF cloves and allspice and a stick of
cinnamon broken in bits. When the
syrup boils up well, put in seven
pounds of good cooking apples, pared,
cored and cut in quarters. Turn them
over gently with a wooden spoon, be-
ing careful not to break them. Cook
until you can penetrate with a fork
and then turn into jars. More apples
can be added from time to time. If
you have them in a stone crock, until
the crock is full. These will keep for

pounds of sugar and a tablespoonful
each of cloves and stick cinnamon.

the morning drain off the juice and let
1t boil up, then pour over the fruit.
Report this process, and on the third
morning add vinegar to the syrup,
and cook until the pears are trans
parent and can be pierced with a
fork.
Spiced Plums.-For the syrup allow
one pound of sugar to each pound of
fruit and a scant pint Of vinegar to
every three pounds of sugar. To each
peck Of plums allow one tablespoonful
of ground cinnamon, one of cloves, one
of mace and one of allspice. Prick
each plum we'll with darning needle.
add the spices to the syrup and pour
the syrup, boiling hot, over the plums.

enough to cover the fruit. Pour hot
over the plums. Set away in stone
