Invaders and FreckIes

Dear Miss Doom:
Kindly let me know Of cure for ges-
min in the hair My little girl got them
and | do not know how to get rid OF
them. Also. what will remove obstinate
freckles from a little girls face. Could
you give me a recipe for baking powder
biscuits? ! have tried several, but they
are always heavy. ] would appreciate
them very much Please mention asgood
soap for the skin that is not expensive
How often should person battle III
water? I read your column every night.
MRS. OWEN D.
Rub the childs head well with
tincture of larkspur seed, which may
be obtained at any drug store. Apply
two or three nights. Then shampoo
the hair thoroughly and brush every
day to remove the nits. Battle the
little girls face frequently with
lemon juice. This will tighten the
freckles. But it is a waste of energy
to try to remove the freckles as long
as the child runs and plays out OF
doors. and ] would advise you to let
them alone.
/ will ask in the Honsekeepers
Exchange column for a recipe for
biscuits. I cannot mention names OF
proprietary articles in this column.
There is an excellent white, floating
soap on the market. People should
battle very often, winter and sum
ner One cannot take too MANY
baths. OF course. precautions against
, catching cold must be taken.

Breaking a Vow

play is coming that wanted to see.
DO You think ] ought to break my word :?
Would 1t be very wrong to do 50?
MARY II.
II was silly to make such a vow
in the beginning. This is matter
that you'll have to settle with your

your word will make you doubtful

ever, think it over carefully and de-
eide whether or not you consider
binding a vow made on impulse.

A SAND CURE FOR NERVES

One of the most efiicacious cures
for fatigue from overworN consists in
walking barefoot in sand. The nerves
of the sole and heel are slightly irri-
tated by coming in contact with the
grains and accelerate the circulation
of the blood in all parts of the body.
The effect produced is highly invig-
Grating Besides this, the monotony
of an ample extent of yellow sand
exercises soporlfc effect on the
brain which induces sleep Harper s

they have won many converts from
the muslin slumber robes. A particu-
