Perspira- ton brings out i'm mpurities in the skin and therefore hard exercise during the first warm days will greatly bene- fit the complexion. At night the face should be scrubbed with warm water and soap-if you are sure to use pure soap-and then massaged lightly with face cream. The cream must then be wiped off and a second bath given with tepid water before you go to sleep. Before starting out on an vanishing cream (which is entirely greaseless) and dust talcum powder over. This will protect the complexion from wind and dust-and also from freckles which are obstinate affairs if one acquires them during early spring. It is always wiser to wear a veil when motoring in spring, before the complexion has become inured to the rush of wind-and before dust has been settled by oil on the roads. Never touch water to the face when you come in from a long motor drive. Tie narrow ribbon around the head to hold back the hair and apply van ishing cream liberally. Allow it to remain few moments and then wipe off with a soft, old handkerchief. Most of the grit and dirt acquired during the drive will come out with the cream when the face is wiped off. Now use washcloth dipped in warm water and then dash cool water on

NURSERY DON'TS FOR { THE YOUNG MOTHER

HH HE first baby is a good deal more apt to- be over-tendeds than not - tended enough. By the time the third little stranger has come to oc- cupy the nursery. crib, the mother has learned not to hold her breath over every quiver of baby's eyelashes or to telephone for the doctor whenever there is a different note in his cry. Although the young baby is very delicate bit of living mechanism, he is also-unless something is seriously wrong-a. normal young animal, and so long as he has the things he. needs most, nourishment, warmth. quiet, and pure air. he will thrive as any other little animal would under the same conditions. He should be handled as little as possible, and If his food agrees with him. his clothes do not pinch or prick him anywhere, and he is comfortably warm, he will not be likely to cry more than is nec- essary to develop his lungs.
 The anxious young mother will do we'll to pin up this practical list of "donstsr in the nursery and run an eye over 1t every day.. If there be a nursemaid in the nursery-not too selfdmportant, because of a special course in infant rearing to take ad- vice-the don't" may be commended to her notice also.
 DON'T yield to the temptation to feed the baby to hush Its crying. The feedings should occur at regular in tervals- If the baby is too hungry to wait for his food, the quality or quan- tity of the food should be changed under a physician's direction.
 DON'T let baby nibble on cookies or Scrackers intended fo- older folk. People used to think the only reason babies could not take solid food was because they had no teeth The real reason Is that the proper digestive juices do not develop in the system until the teeth come.
 DON'T trust to ,s.the feeling on your elbow" to determine the temperature of baby's bath. Have bath therzza- meter. The water should be 100 de- grees F. for a tiny baby and may be gradually lowered in temperature to 90 degrees as the child approaches its sixth month
 DON'T try to quiet fretful baby if you are nervous or irritated yourself Force yourself into a serene state of mind. or let someone else, less ner- vously wrought-up, attend to the little one's want of the moment.

It is an unwise woman who sweeps and scrubs and po1ishes her domicile from attic to cellar in the spring O. the year, and never does a thing to improve her own looks
 After the long winter an average complexion is sadly in need of spring cleaning. It needs plenty of air and sun and water, with some little addi- tions of cleansing creams and ungents just as house needs air and sun and water and soap powders and pol 1shing mixtures to bring it up to at tractiveness. There ara several things that make the complexion worse than 1t ought to be in winter time Lack of fresh air is one; exposure to dusty, sharp winds, another; changes in temperature from out-of-doors to steam heated rooms;, lack of moisture in rooms heated by hot air; the eat ing of rich foods, sweets and gravies with too little fresh fruit and salads; the sleeping in rooms insuff1ciently aired; the sitting in rooms lighted with artificial light which produces Ce~AAOA oe~1AO and more, rob the complexion of bloom during the shut-in months and almost always radical treatment is necessary in springtime
 There is however, a vast difference between fussing over a complexion with cosmetics-to make it look bet ter by artificial means-and working over it with ordinary cleansing and freshening processes to keep it toned up and in good condition. One would not think much of housekeeper who, in order to avoid the trouble of a spring cleaning, used paint on walls and furniture instead of soap and water, wax, polish and rubbing, or who had rugs dyed to avoid sweeping and beating; but this is precisely the method of the woman who puts face powder and rouge on her winter jaded complexion so that she may not look too dragged out. and sallow in the glad colors of spring.

 One of the best correctives for a sluggish digestive tract is a cup of boiling water every morning, slipped as soon as the water has cooled enough to be taken into the mouth. A little salt makes the hot water more palatable for some; others find the taste improved by squeezing a few drops of lemon juice into the water.

very rare thing that Circuit
