the lotion from growing rancid. These
are best kept In q cool place. Corn

meal, II more convenient.
A cucumber cleansing lotion can be
made from one ounce Of strained Gu

be used for dry skin.
A very simple cleansing mixture
contains one large cupful Of finely
ground oatmeal with one tablespoon
full powdered olive oil soap carefully
mixed through It. When the hands
are washed with this combination they
are softened and whitened 40 well

The small bags of cheesecloth filled
with equal portions Of oatmeal ana
wheat bran can be often used In place
Of soap. when the hands are only
slightly soiled and save the skin from
becoming rough and chapped.
