BODY NEEDS WATER
Natures Most Helpful Agent as a
Beautifier
Not Always Properly Appreciated, but
the Woman Who Absorbs Sufficient
Quantity of IL viii Be Pleased
With Results.

Water is seldom appreciated at its
true value as beautifier, although it
is frequently recommended by physi
clans and occasionally advised by
beauty specialists. Quite possibly, if
it came in fancy jars or bottles with
a round price attached, we would give
1t greater consideration, but as long
as it is both cheap and handy we are
| apt to overlook it as a helpful agent
in our search for the magic remedy.
The body requires great deal of
water to supply its needs, and unless
the necessary quantity is furnished
the skin suffers as we'll as the health
At least three pints of cool-not iced
water should be drunk every day. This
Pushes the system, carries Off the inn
purities and gives the body it's normal
supply. Whether water should be
taken with the meals is question for
the individual to decide. Much is said
for and against this practice, but the
three pints day should be taken as
regularly as you perform any other of
your daily duties.
The first glass of cool water taken
upon arising is the most refreshing
medicine you can find, and the last
glass at bedtime will do much to
rest the nerves and make the sleep
quiet and restful. The other eight
glasses can be taken to suit your con-
venience.
The necessity for water drinking
must be especially impressed upon the
woman whose skin is dry and with
tendency to wrinkle, and the woman
who has sallow skin or whose com
plexion is marred by moth patches
should be equally generous in the
amount OF water taken into the sys-
tenn In both these cases wonderful
improvement is sometimes brought
about by the faithful following of the
above directions and the complexion
clears out, the yellow look disappears
and the texture OF the skin changes in
a surprising way after few months
devoted to the simple water treat
ment' described.
| If the body is overburdened with
| fat, lithia tablet in the glass of wa
| ter will prove helpful. If the system
| shows an excess of acid tiny pinch
| of soda viii sometimes correct the
trouble. Just a little bit of soda
hardly enough to change the taste OF
the water-is advisable.
When constipation exists the water
drinking will be often found spe-
/ cifc and will usually benefit all ordi
nary cases. Where the constipation
is chronic or serious teaspoonfuI of
ordinary table salt dissolved in the
| first glass of water taken before
breakfast will sometimes afford per
manent relief. For the anemic woman
a teaspoonfu1 of sugar in each glass
| of water is excellent and often brings
decided improvement in the health in
a short time
| First in the list of beautifiers comes
| fresh air, plenty of cool water, deep
breathing and exercise. These are
absolutely necessary if one would
have good health and good looks.
Breathe fresh air always; keep up a
certain amount of bodily activity to
keep the muscles elastic, keep the
lungs active and the blood circulating
by taking many deep breaths during
the twenty-four hours; drink copious
drafts of cool water every day in the
year, and beauty of complexion, grace
of body, fineness of skin and above all
normal health and vitality will be very
likely to follow.
Sister Prue.-If you use powder, Ell
Their the liquid or the other kind, it is
absolutely necessary to give your face
a thorough cleansing at night, else the
pores will become clogged and the
skin muddy looking. Use cleansing
cream first, following with facial
bath in warm water and mild soap,
rinse in clear, warm water followed
with dash of cold and dry the face
gently. l can give you formula for
an excellent cleansing cream, If you
will send me the necessary envelope.
Friend1y-It is not well to use
heavy face masks continuously, be-
cause the skin needs a chance to
breathe and to eliminate the waste
matter. When the face is covered ev-
cry night and part of the day with
paste, it grows pallid and unhealthy
looking Wear the mask occasionally,
If you like, but not too often.
Bernice--When the lines in the face
are very deep you will find help frcm
the uss of wrinkle plasters in addition
to the massage cream These plas-
tiers are easy to use and very inexpen-
sive and certainly aid very greatly in
smoothing out the ugly creases in the
skin.
New Reader.-The reason why the
bleach prepared without oils is more
satisfactory than the greasy bleaches
is because 1t stays on the skin and
one gets the full benefit of the bleach
Ing properties It can be used either
night OF day, as best suits the con-
venience and does not irritate the
skin at all.
