ercise that strengthens the nerves and

Tho eye that is constantly flxed upon
n single object Is under special strain
exercise. Also frequently the Same ego
is weakened by the constant direct or
indirect glare of the electric light.
An opportunity for rest and exer-
else is demanded by every eye. Given
the chance. It Will rove from one OBJ
ject to another. and each movement
means exercise. That Is the reason
why the eye which is rlveted upon u
single object all day should have n
chance to exercise by moving about
over rcstful colors and objects
II given the opportunity the eye will
bathe and exercise Itself. But customs
are making demands upon 1t which
mean special strain without a chance
to recuperGte and develop.
Look at the eye that Is abused. You
will SEQ It everywhere. It is dull and
lusferless. Its owncr Is continually
squinting and distorting his face. But
the eye that Is well cared for is beau
tiful. expressive and attractive
or primary Importance Is the keep
Inc of the eye in condition to render
adequate service. If 1t Is in that shape
there are fewer headaches and less ner-
vousness. If In condition to properly
fill Its offices 1t is beautiful and ex-
pressive
Remember: The eyes are but small
in proportion to the rest Of the body,
but their loss is the greatest of all.

Frances: Few OF us realize the i'm
portant part our teeth play In keeping
good health. The teeth should be
cleansed after each meal to remove all
PARTICLES OF food that lodge between
them and cause decay. Often they are
the primary cause of loss OF weight or
failure to increase the weight. There
may be a cavity which during the
night sends forth poisons which ruin
the digestion. If you will send mo a
stamped. addressed envelope shall
be glad to send you instructions on
| how to care for tho teeth.
Martha: Try this formula and see
your hands. Twenty grains salicylic
acid. one-eighth ounce alcohol. and one
ounce flexible collodion. Mix and ap-
ply to the wart for three nights. then
soak In hot water, whom a layer of skin
will como of. Repeat until the wart
has disappeared. This Is also good for
corns.
Worried: Almond meal Is excellent
for cleansing the face, and where one
. face is sensitive to soap this Is an ex-
cellent substitute. do not advise
steaming the face too often. 1t will
make the skin dry and take all the
elasticity out Of II, causing fine wrin-
kles In time. The best way to eteam
the facets to lay a cloth over 1t which
has been dipped In warm water, but
not hot, Just warm enough to be pleas
ant.
| Mrs. G. P: Excessive perspiration OF
the hands indicates nervousness or poor
circulation. After washing the hands
in warm water apply alcohol and rub
briskly. This closes the pores and
stimulates circulation. Dust taIcum
powder on the hands before putting on
the gloves.

ance OF the hands so much as weli-ke ut
nails. The nails should be most care
| fully looked after. The white spots
that appear on your nails are no doubt
caused by raising the cuticle from the
nail. which takes away the nutriment
