 Make yourself familiar with the details of the work done by the person immediately above you, so far at least as it touches your own work If you are the kind of girl who can give an exact reply when asked about some detail of the work you will be valuable.

 When you do not know the exact answer, say so. To reply that you do not know the detail in question will do no harm. But to equivocate, to bluff, to leave the impression that you know when you don't, will only lay up trouble for your super for and, of course, for yourself.

ButtermiIk is Great Aid to Complexion

buttermilk place quantity in a ba- sin and use it freely on the face neck, chest and arms Omit the use of soap, and if you will rub the face with soft cloth saturated with the milk the pores will be cleansed thor oughly.
 Spend at least twenty minutes ap- plying the buttermilk, and then rinse the skin with warm water to which a teaspoonful of powdered boraX has been added The final rinse should be with cold water or a piece of ice may be rubbed over the to contract the pores.
 This treatment will not only cleanse the skin, but bleach it and feed the tissues and improve their texture.
 To my mind, there is nothing to equal butteIlnilk as a cosmetic.
 If you intend to remain indoors, apply a coating of fresh buttermilk to the face after it has been cleansed batting it on with the fingers. Al low it to be absorbed by the flesh and apply another coating. Repeat this two or three times.
 You may find the sour odor of buttermilk unpleasant and therein lies it's one undesirable feature. :! have become accustomed to it's odor and no longer find it annoying, and after while you, too. will not notice it The bleaching and refining qualities of buttermiik far outvalue it's dis agreeable odor.
 In summer you will find butter milk superior to any other soothing and healing lotion when you are suf- fering from sunburn. Coat the burned skin with the milk immediately, and renew the coating as soon as 1t be comes dry. Water must never be used at any time while there is smarting or stinging sensation.
 Buttermilk is also an excellent bleach for freckles, and should be substituted for water if you are prone to take on freckles in the sunlight.
The Alaska citizen., 1915-03-29

Water is generally considered to be the very best cleansing agent for the face in reality it is sometimes one of the most injurious applica- tions that can be used. Because il costs nothing and is convenient we continue it's use regardless of the harm it does to the skin.
 l have found, from personal expert ence, that milk and Duttermilk are the best cleansing lotion, and they lowance They contain enough natu- ral oil to keep the skin nouri5hed and this, added to their cleansing properties, makes them an invaluable necessity, says a writer in an eX change.
 You have frequently heard of fam ous beauties indulging in milk baths and have perhaps considered this a wilful waste of nourishing food l ut Dcduly, lloNtNSi, " do uS SNNi III III ed to preserve her loveliness at any cost, and wisely chose natures great est aid
 When using milk to cleanse the face apply it with soft, old cloth and rub the face and neck thorough ly. Never use soap with the milk and allow the liquid to dry on the skin.
 Drink plenty of buttermilk
 your complexion will acquire that delicate transparency which allows the color to glow and fade in the fas cinating tints of childhood. When ever you have the impulse to drink glass of ice cream soda or phos- phate I suggest, that you substitute glass of huttermilk. It will work wonders with the complexion, and while you may not relish it at first you will soon learn to like it. Sip it slowly, and you will find it more palatable if it is chilled and seasoned with pincn of salt.
 When cleansing the face with
