Would Reduce Her Weight
Dear Miss Doom

Dear Miss Doom
l am a girl of Il and would like to
reduce my weight. as | am getting
very stout Do you think walking
would help me? MARY c. NJ
Eat sparlngly of foods containing
fats. This means that only the lean
parts of meat are to be eaten. and
that pork, bacon. etc. must be abol-
ished. Eggs and fish Except mack
erel, blue and others containing oils)
are excellent. SKINNED milk is nour-
ishing without being a flesh builder.
Sweets are fattening. You'll beware
of them, even if it is hard, if you are
in earnest, even TO emitting cream
from your coffee and tea. All fruits,
with the exception of bananas. are
permitted. but must be eaten without
sugar. Eat plenty of apples and
prunes. Avoid thick soups, fresh
bread and rich gavies.
This sounds severe, but there are
lots of good things left to eat.
Walking several miles every day
will help a great deal. provided the
gait is sufficiently rapid to increase
the circulation and wear down the
soft, superf1uous flesh; but your sue
cess will depend upon regularity.
Even the restricted diet will not help
you if you fail to exercise.

Beauty Questions
My Dear Miss Doom:


Could you please give me a recipe
for making rouge for the checks? Also
tell me the best way to use oatmeal
to whiten the skin, or does It not
whiten? Is the mask a good idea? IL
so, how would I make the mask and
prepare the oat meal? Would [ cook
the oatmeal or not? MRS. ]. S.

that will not harm the skin, but
would advise you to be exceedingly
careful in its use. Nothing is uglier
than rouge that is conspicuous. Some
women become rouge blind" after
coloring their cheeks for time, and
present a decidedly vulgar appear
auce. This is the recipe
Carnine, one-quarter dram; sweet
almond oil, one-half dram; powdered
magnesia, one ounce. To mix mingle
the carmine and powder, and then
slowly work into the oil. The prepa-
ration should be forced through
coarse muslin several times, pressing

form, the oil being absorbed.
Put an ounce or two of oatmeal in
a cheesecloth bag and place 1t in the
water in which you wash your face.
1t will smooth and soften the skin.

be more of a mess than mask. and
would not advise you to try 1t.

A SMART FROCK FOR EARLY
SPRING

Girls will wear a generous num-
Der of frocks made with plated skirts
this spring. As they are always be-
coming. they are sure to be well
come. In this case the plaits are
pressed SO fiat that they give straight
lines yet allow perfect freedom for
action. The sleeves are of the set-in
sort and the trimming portion on the
front gives rather distinctive touch.
On the figure, the dress is worn over
a guimpe and, in one of the small
views, it is made with a chemisette.
and the two methods are equally eff
fective. The trimming consists of
just a simple piece set under the edge
of the blouse, and it can easily be
omitted when a simpler design is
wanted There are so many ap-
propriate and attractive materials of
fered that the real difficulty will be
to choose among them, but nothing
is better for early spring than
challis. and the cha1lies are very
lovely this spring. There are a great
many wool crepes that are extern
sively worn, ratine is liked for girls
dresses and French serge is admira-
BILE for this model. In the illustration
shepherds check is trimmed with
plain white broadeloth, and that
combination is always handsome, but
lowered, brocaded and plaid silks
are pretty with plain material, or
striped could be used with good eff
feet, or a very novel effect could be
obtained by the use of the new sash
ribbon figured in Bulgarian colors
and designs that can be found in

BY BILLIE BURKE

A large number of letters in my
mail just now contain anxious in
quiries about getting thin.
This is the season when the woman
who is afraid of the cold air, who
has given up exercise and eaten a
good deal of rich food. finds that she
has taken on lot of surplus flesh,
and she begins to wonder which will
be better--to make over all her last
summers dresses or ito reduce" un-
til she is able to get into the old
clothes.
l do not think. the thin woman ever
realized just how hard it is to keep
from eating all sorts of good things,
because everything you like seems to
add ounces and pounds to your
weight! / have great sympathy for
these people, because while ago 1
was afraid / was going to get stout,
but the hard work of rehearslng in
hot weather proved my fears ground
less.
Now I am going to tell you a sure
simple and perfectly harmless way
to get thin.
All you have TO do is to exercise
your power of will and self denial,
but | warn you unless you have the
power to say, II will do so and keep
doing it," you might as well not be-
gin the regime.
First, you must decide. once for
all, whether you will be able to deny
your palate for the sake of looking
well and feeling well. Really, eating
lot does one no good except just
at the time you are at the table.
After big dinner you feel "groggy'
and sleepy, and as you grow fatter
and fatter you begin to get actually
stupid.
The cure 1 am going to give you
is a modification of that given by
DR.. Wier Mitchell to his millionaire
patients.
DR.. Mitchell puts those who come
to him for an obesity cure to bed
and feeds them glass of milk every
two hours during the day, and moth

Very few women can give up the
time or money to become patients
of famous doctors when there Is

fat" A friend of mine, however.
has Just finished a course of the
milk diet while doing her daily work.
This friend is a professional woman
and works very hard, bat she gets
very little exercise, and she found
she was growing stout very fast.
She decided to try the milk diet and
work right along. Her friends tried
to dissuade her, but she commenced
it. and IT has been a. great success.
When she first awakes she takes q
glass Of hot water, and for her break
fast one glass of hot milk, using nni8A
from bottle from which the cream
has been turned
During the day she drinks tf1Sea
glasses of cold milk (oream removed
and for dinner two glasses OF hot or
cold milk as she desires. THIS makes
six glasses of milk a day and she lost
twenty pounds in thirty days. She
lost more the first few days than
toward the last. The milk Is consti-
pating and one should use something
to counterfeit this.
She tells me it is the hardest work
she ever did, but she looks fine and
feels finer and is able to do her work
every day, and insists that her brain
is clearer than before she commenced
the diet.
She sslls me that the self-deniai Is
very good for one spiritually as well
as physically.
Her complexion is growing finer
every day, and, while l noticed that
after long hard day her nerves
seemed a little frazzled, she always
recovered with a nights sleep and
has them under splendid control now.

if you have the courage to carry it

In cold winter months heavy meats,
rick grayies and pastry are eaten.
A reasonable amount of it can be
very well taken care of If one is
active. But every one is not and the
body becomes clogged and if rich
foods are continued during spring
months. with an occasional warm
day, we have what is generally
known as Spring fever" No reason
for it at ALL and Lent is the time to
clear the body by eating more vege-
tables and nuts than meat; dande-
lions as soon as they are in the mar
ket, also onions, spinach and rhu-
barb. These are natures special
foods for cleansing the system.
If this is done I'll defy Spring
fever" and colds to put in an APP
pearance. Use fruits plentifully, or
anges, grape fruit, bananas and
prunes; these are not only used for
the sake of economy and health, but
prepared in appetizing dishes prove
to the appetite during the
spring months. Remember anything
which helps us physically also helps
us morally and mentally.
