LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
 BLANCHE BEACON
Commongenge Treatment for the Shoulders

Are you so unfortunate to have pimply shoulders? If your answer is in the affirmative. then you must ish the ugly eruptions. else you can lay no claim to shoulder beauty, and this would be sad indeed.
 My suggestion would be, first, to look to your diet, as you can not ex- pect to have a smooth skin if you eat candy and pie and fried meat. By few months, as this means destruction to the objectionable acne.
 You should also try to drink con- siderable water, between meals, as the system needs plenty of liquid if 1t is to keep in order. Plenty of water and am hours exercise every day in the open air will help you in this cru sade for presentable shoulders.
 An external treatment for shoulders that are covered with eruptions. con- sists in covering each unsightly pir1- pie at night with some good acne. cream. Such a cream is made thus: Combine Naptol (beta) two grammes, Sulphur (precip) twenty grammes, and twenty grammes of Potash Soap.
 As the cream will, of course, rub off during the night unless covered with a cloth, it would be well for you to ewathe shoulders snugly in thin cheesecloth. Neglect this bit of ad-| vice and I am afraid your labor in the cause of beauty will be wasted and that you will wake up at dawn to find your bed linen covered with grease.
 This simple treatment, if given every night for several weeks, will be the
