Various Skin Medicines.
 A sallow, dirty, and disordered skin generally points to auto-intoxication stomach trouble and constipation, dis ordered general condition and toxic in- testinal tract and calls for a complete change m the method of living, fre- ouent bathing both internally and ex- formally and some good blood and body Building medicine. The latter should be prescribed by good physician af- ter thorough physical examination.
 While l do not desire to say any thing against the use of the various provement of the complexion, some of them are harmful to some skins. AS face powders and rouge are not, strict lY speaking, proprietary articles but can be purchased in bulk, it can do no harm if I speak concerning these, but if my warning is needed many women will be saved modification in the years to come. Anything in the shape of a powder applied daily to the skin of the face and permitted to remain there for a number of hours cannot but be injurious if for no other reason than that 1t stops up the pores of the skin, defeating nature in her efforts to throw off, through the natural chan nels. the impurities of that portion of the body therefore l warn women that the continued use of face powders will partially destroy the pores, or at least make them unable to perform their natural functions. Fortunately there are number of simple harmless things that will do much toward accomplish irg the desired results with the skin of the face Of these lemon juice Is one of the best, for it possesses both clear sing and whitening properties. It is excellent for freckles and also to remove tan, but 1t should be diluted in the proportion of three tablespoonfuls tc each pint of water Buttermilk IS also good face cleanser; 1t will as- sist in the removal of pimples, tan and sliqht eruptions. Alcohol also cleanses the skin, removing pimples, and is es- recially good to cleanse the skin of oiliness Diluted about one-third 1t will be found a valuable accessory to the value of the simple tincture of ten2oin for the whitening of the skin and it's general preservation It should be used in the proportion of one ounce to a pint of water, If perfume Is de- sired use rose water; otherwise. boiled ar distilled water should be used. Try the use of soap and water, friction ;nd the articles named above before using any of the compounds Of which you know nothing. These things rave recommended will show gratify- inc results if used thoroughly and reg ulsrly.
 Natures Sweet Restorer.
 I wish women would realize the im- portance of sleep; not the sleep during the small hours of the morning follow ing a night of enjoyment, but the sleep which should be had at regular intervals and for a certain number of hours. It Is impossible to say how many hours of sleep are required by temperament and environment, but there are few women who require less than nine hours of sleep out of the 24, and these hours should be when possi ble, between 10 p. m. and a. m. It has been demonstrated beyond doubt that nature provides in sleep, first for the rest of the body, and not until the body has been rested does the brain receive its share of repose. This be- ing the case it follows that persons of I nervous temperament should have more hours of sleep than he or she of a more placid nature. The health of the average woman, particularly the housekeeper, is improved by nap during the day. This need not be of long duration, but 1t should be abso- ltue repose and be taken minus the clothing and at full length on a bed; curling up In ones clothes on a lounge is not restful and does one little good
