The Real Cause of
Most Bad ComplexiOns

1t Is stern fact that no truly bcauti-
ful complexion ever came out of Jars or
bottles; the longer one uses cosmetic
the worse the complexion becomes.
Skin, TO be healthy. must breathe. 1t
also must expel, through the pores, it's
share of the bodys effete material.
Creams and powders clog the pores, in
terfering both with elimination and
breathing If more women understood
this, there would be fewer self-ruined
complexions. If they would use ordi-
nary mercolized wax instead of cos
metics, they would have natural
healthy compilations. This remarkable
substance actually sbsorbs bad skin
also unclogging the pores. Result: The
fresher, younger underskin is permitted
to breathe and to show itself. An ex-
quisite new complexion gradually peeps
out, one free from any appearance OF
artifciality. Get an ounce Of mercolized
wax at your druggists and try It. Apply
nightly like cold cream, for a week or
SO. washing 1t off mornings.

themselves to be put out" at inter-

Europe.
The joke Is manifestly OH tho

they do not even know as much
about their own country as they do
about Europe, and. therefore, unless
they list to the experiences OF those

Parsley For Flavoring.
Parsley Is used mainly for garnish-
ing meats. but can be used for flaw
oring soups and other foods. Sow
parsley seed thickly in a drill or
sow broadcast and cover lightly,
either in autumn or early spring. A
space yard square will be suffi-
Client for parsley.
Varieties recommended: Plain
Leaved and Double Curled.
Parsnip Culture.
Sow parsnip seed In the spring as
soon as danger of hard frosts is
over. in drills fourteen to sixteen
inches apart. Thin the plants to
stand three inches apart In the rows.
The cultivation of parsnips should
be about the same as for beets and
carrots. A crop may be planted In
late summer for winter use, and the
roots may be left In the ground
through the winter or until needed,
as freezing is believed to improve
the flavor of parsnips. IL 1t is de-
sired to nlow the garden before the
parsnips are disposed OF, they may
be dug and stored in a cool place or
buried in banks or pits.
Parsnips may be boiled and eaten
with butter. or parboiled and baked
with meats the same as potatoes

children long before they have learned
that two and two make four. 1t ex-
presses itself in the child's efforts TO

Instead Of doing this we shovel facts
into the childs perceptive faculties and
keep him busy labelling and storing
away these facts. The exterior menta'
faculties become more and more crowd
ed with facts. The child has no time to
give attention to his inherent urge OF
creative mind which, unless it Is SO
strong that II cannot be quelched. will
become dumped under the layers OF
ideas taken in from without.
Thus we make our average humanity
