blotched and irritated and
none of the lotions seem to
help it,"
This complaint was voiced by a
friend who was putting the finishing
touches to her toilet, and soon after
ward discovered the principal cause
of her irritated skin. She violated
all the laws OF sanitation. When
washing her face she used the old
fashioned washcloth which has long
since been discarded by the woman
next to godlincss;" she applied the
powder to her face with a lambs
wool puff which she had been carry
ing in her purse, with germ-laden
coins and other articles, and brushed
her hair with brush which had not

sary to keep 1t sweet and free from
/ then proceeded to give her some
care Of toilet accessories, blaming
the lack of sanitation as the cause
of most skin irritations, and after
confessing that she had never given
the subject a thought, she promised
to mend her ways.
In case there are other women as
thoughtless as my friend. shall
take this opportunity to give a few
hints which will aid you In preserv-
ing the beauty and smoothness OF
the complexion.
Instead of using the washcloth OF
linen or Turkish toweling to cleanse
your face, substitute squares of an
tiseptic gauze. using a new square
each day. The gauze is inexpensive
and NAV be had In all widths and
is much softer than the harsh wash
cloths in general use. and will never
irritate tho tenderest Of skins

or blue baby ribbon. and you can
make dozen of them In a few
minutes time. Each time .he face
is powdered the puff is thrown away,
SO there Is absolutely no danger of
Infection.
Never, under any circumstances,
apply lotion to the skin with the
fingers. Use a piece of absorbent

time the lotion is applied.

yellow fever. cancer. and even the bu-

It killed hundreds Of thousands of
white. brown, yellow. and black men

and they know, too, how to prevent

years.
Malaria is caused by a minute organ
ism of the class OF protozo6n. called
sprozoa. and of the genus plasmodium.
The organisms OF most diseases, despite
the fact that many Of them move about,
are vegetables.that is the case. for

true animal. 1t is. Of course, at the
