BEAUTY CHATS
Meal Baths
By EDNA KENT FORBES

''WnL YOU KINDLY print directions
for bran or oatmeal baths, or other
baths for improving the texture of
the skin7" writes q correspondent
from Bridgeport Connecticut. In
the same mail came a request for
baths to help a rheumatic old lady,
from q woman in Kentucky.
So, since our space is brief, ! think
I will make list of the various
beauty and medicinal baths. with
short directions for taking each
kind.
There is, first, tho oatmeal bath
essentially q bath for beauty. It
whitens the skin, makes It wonder
fully soft, and acts as q mild bleach.
Take about four cups of uncooked
oatmeal, put in a muslin bag. and
put the bag in the bath water, II
possible, letting the water from the
faucets run over the bag. Squeeze 1t
before getting into the bath, 30 the
water becomes milky looking. One
bagful can be used four or five times.
Bran baths are taken the same
way, except that bran 10 used In
place of the oatmeal. Many women
use smaller bags of oatmeal or bran,
in place Of the wash cloth, rubbing
the meal bag over the skin.
The best bath for rheumatism IL
an EPSON salt bath. This requires
about half pound Of the salts dis
solved in the bathtub; the patient
lies flat in the tub, with just enough
water to cover tho body. and soaks
there till the heat has left the water.
Sulphur baths are beneficial to the
health also, and are beautifiers as
we'll. Many sanitarium has made
its reputation upon them-and they
may be taken at home. IL one has the
time and patience. In the simplest
form, they consist of dissolving
flower of sulphur In the hot bath
water, and adding some bicarbonate
of soda, such as you use In ma
king up sour milk biscuits. SAM
tariums usually add few more
such ingredients and mix with mud,
applying this indicated mud to the
skin.
