Beauty Chats By Edna Kent FORBES
Meal Baths

Will IoU KINDLY print directions
? Tor bran or oatmeal baths. or other
baths for improving the texture Of
the skin2" writes a correspondent
from Bridgeport, Connecticut. In
the same mail came a request for
baths to help q rheumatic old lady,
from a woman in Kentucky
So, since our space is brief, I think
Z viii make a list Of the various
beauty and medicinal baths. with
short directions for taking each
kind.
There is, first, the oatmeal bath
essentially a bath for beauty. It
whitens the skin. makes it wonder
fully soft, and acts as a mild bleach.
Take about four cups Of uncOOked
oatmeal, put in a muslin bag, and
put the bag in the hath water, if
possible, letting the water from the
faucets run over the bag. Squeeze it
before getting into the bath, so the
water becomes milky looking. One
bagful can be used four OF five times.
Bran baths are taken the same
way, except that bran is 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 is
an Epson salt bath. This requires
about half a pound of the salts dis
solved in the bathtub; the patient
lies fat in the tub, with just enough
water TO cover the body, and soaks
there till the heat has left the water.
Sulphur baths are beneficial to the
health also, and are beautihers as
well. Many a sanitarium has made
it's reputation upon them-and they
may be taken at home, if 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 Sani-
tariums usually add a few more
such ingredients ana mix with mud,
applying this medicated mud to the
skin.
