How to messure-Before measuring,
stir salt and similar articles to free
them from Jumps. Always measure a
cupful level, using a ease knife to level
off the top. Put the article in by spoon
fuls to be sure that every part of the
cup is full. 1t is particularly necessary
to do this with butter. Glass measur-
ing cups are excellent, because one can
see perfectly if the butter has filed
every part of the cup completely.
Cures for Chaps and Chills.
Despite Jack Frost's invigorating pres
ence during these winter months and the
better health conditions that prevail
therefor, many people make moan be-
cause of his nips on lips, checks, noses,
ears, hands and feet. Those who have
not forestalled his coming by the habit
of deep breathing, which results in good
and delight in fresh air,
will have to fight him at every point
where unpreparedness leaves them weak
to resist.
If your skin ia inclined to be sensitive,
the chaps will get it and roughness re.
suit from the cold weather. Generous
applications of cold cream will protect it
when going out into the chill air, and
at night applying glycerine and rosewa-
ter, or some other healing preparations
of which there are any number on the
market, will keep it smooth and soft.
Massage with cold cream creates bene
fetal circulation, and it should be a
nightly practice for the sake of the com
olexion. Women who have used daily ice |
