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

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 a 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 a 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.

If your scalp is dry and shows dan

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

finger tips upon the scalp at the edge
of the hair, one hand at either side

neck, or on the forehead. but wher-
ever you do start. let the hands be an

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

be applied to them. By means of this
five minute massage more vaseline is
rubbed into the scalp than one real

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
as a result.

BIG SURPRISE TO MONARCH
First Experience With Seidlitz Pow.
ders Produces Startling Scene in
Court in Delhi.

On the first consignment of seidlitz
powders in the capital of Delhi, the
monarch became deeply interested in
the accounts of the refreshing
draught. A box was brought to the
king in full court, and the interpreter
explained to his majesty how it should
be used
Into goblet he put the contents OF
the twelve blue papers, and. having
added water, the king drank it off
This was the alkali, and the royal
countenance expressed no signs of
satisfaction. 1t was then explained
that in the combination of the two
powders lay the luxury, and the
twelve white powders were quickly
dissolved and as eagerly swallowed
by his majesty.
With a wild Shrek that will be re-
membered while Delhi is numbered
among the Kingdoms, the monarch
rose. staggered, exploded, and. in his
full agonies, screamed, Hold me

Although perhaps the lace tunic has
a tendency to as It's wearer it has
compensating merits which recon-
mend it to women of middle age and
even younger women who have a ten

with the upper part in the form of a

eminently desirable as years come fast

Wash SILK Petticoats.

Wash silk petticOats are a useful
addition to any wardrobe, be it limited
or not They are made of somewhat
heavy silk Silk and cotton so-called
tub silk, is almost as durable as heavy
all-silk material and is more durable
for petticoats, al least, than cheap

striped pattern with scant bias
founces at the bottom. They can be
worn with any light street costumes.
One of violet and white in narrow
stripes could be worn with tan, green
or violet outside skirts; one of tan
and white would find many uses, and
more decided colors would be useful tc
wear with a few frocks.

that in the very near future provision
will be made for moving pictures in
the home When a man decides to
build house to cost, say, $25,000 or
more, the architect will plan the pic

their guests can enjoy a select pro-
gram of latest productions. 1t may
be in connection with dancing room
or it can be accommodated in much
less space. A projecting machine suit

costly, and the films will doubtless be
delivered each week by companies or
ganized for that special purpose. Trav-

Kessler's most vivid picture was the
suicide of several fear-crazed women
who leaped from the rescue boats. The

Kessler gave a description of the
food on the first night.
I'VE heard the roaring Of lions and
neighinS of horses and realized that a
circus which has winter quarters at
Peru had been engulfed. The lions
and other animals in cages died in the
cages, roaring until the water swal-
lowed them. The elephants escaped
into the wafer and started for the
shore and that was the last we saw of
them"
