Simple Recipes for
Beauty and Health

KEEP THIS SPRING TONIC
HANDY-As millions of bottles of
various blood medicines and liver
regulators are taken yearly to tone
up the blood, restore vitality and
healthy conditions to the body, 1t
will not be amiss for us to repeat
the formula of an old-time remedy
that has been used with marvellous
success. Dissolve one ounce of
kardene in one-half pint alcohol,
then add one-half cupful sugar and
enough hot water to make a quart.
The ingredients can be had at any
drug store at small cost. One
tablespoonful OF this tonice taken
before each meal will soon correct
all disorders of the liver, make the
blood clear, and strengthen and
build up the system most satisfac-
torily. For correcting 5allow or
pimply compilations and giving one
vigor and good health, we have
never found remedy to equal 1t.
REJUVENATES THE COMPLEX
IONA plain spurmaX face-lotion

four ounces spurmaX in a half-pint
hot water or witch hazel and f.dd
two teaspoonfuls glycerine. The

beautifully clear and rich. This
is easier to apply than powder and
far more satisfactory, as when on

not rub off nor spot.
SCALP AND HAIR CLEANSER
Just dissolve a teaspoonful can
throx in a cup hot water and you
have enough mixture for a thor
oughly satisfying shampoo. Moth
ing equals canthroX for cleansing
hair and scalp, making the head
feel good and promoting a healthy,

shampoos with canthroX will keep
the scalp free from dust and dam

L have been out in Iowa to see
1.-THE woman who knows all about
babies"
She is DIR. Margaret Clark and
half a century of her life has been
devoted just to the work OF car
ing for Notwithstanding babies
and teaching mothers how to
make babies better, both physical
ly and mentally.
L had started out to find the
woman who started the Iowa idea
of ''Better Babies" for you know
a handful of women in Iowa have
started wonderful new move-
ment-a movement that all the
world may follow, yes, even to the
third and fourth generation!
The originator of the now ia
nous "Better Babies" idea
found to be Mrs. Mary Watts of
Audubon, Iowa. 1t was the the an
nual county fair at Audubon. On
exhibition were wonderful Patch
work quilts, luscious canned
fruits, loaves of bread, in short,
all sorts of cooks5 works, house
keepers work and needlewomen' s
work. Mrs. Watts was one of the
committee asked to award the
prizes.
why, all this is not really
woman's work at ALL" she sudden
ly exclaimed, toward the end OF
the afternoon. "Out there is the
work of women and it's being
neglected.
"Out there" was a horde of
children-some too pale, some too
fat, some eating glucose candy"
some fighting and nearly all of
them more or less uncared for
scientifically.
At the next county fair there
was a baby health contest. 1t
was so successful that the state
of Iowa took up the work and
held one the next year at the Des
Moines state fair! And now the
movement Is becoming nation
wide!

OCTAvIA HANDWoRTH.
BY GERTRUDE NJ. PRICE,
The Daily Times Moving Picture
Expert.

Make-believe is sometimes too
terribly real to be a laughing
matter.
So says Miss Octavia Hand
worth, one of the leading women
of the eastern Pathe company at
Hoboken, N. Y.
IF you have ever had the SEN
sation accompanying the second
time down in deep water, you
know what | mean when say it
is risky business to be a moving
picture player" she said.
But this girl, who drives oxen
and rides bronchos and falls
down mountain sides, laughed
merrily as she made the asser-
ton, indicating that, though the
experience may be perfectly ter
rifying at the time, the game is.
nevertheless, very much worth
the candle, as we say.
Miss Handworth knows how it
feels to have horse run away
with her and she knows what 1t
means to play all sorts of parts
which require bravery as well as
skill.
Don't you remember her IN
'The Moonshiners?"
Miss Handworth has an excel
lent voice and used to play with
Weber & Fields. One day she
caught the measles. Afterwards
she had to give up singing for a
time because the disease seemed
to have affected her throat.
She went to the movies"
