TOO MUCH CANDY A
HARM TO HEALTH

beautiful complexion Is at once
the envy and the ambition OF every
woman. Outside OF lovely eyes there
Is perhaps nothing so absolutely ne
cessary to real beauty as a fine skin.
1t does not constitute perfect beauty
In itself. as many girl with a lovely
skin has her prettiness spoiled by un-
attractive eyes or a badly shaped
nose But one thing is sure, real
loneliness cannot be achieved without
the aid OF a good complexion.
How many girls one sees who would
be very pretty were it not that their
skins are broken out with ugly red
blotches. They may have beautiful
eyes, fine hair and all the other fea-
lures well shaped and pretty, yet they
fall far short of the mark and are
almost repellant to the sight because
CT their bad comDiexion
Girls, don't you want to have a skin
of fine and beautiful texture? or
course you do. There never has been
a feminine being who didn't want a
lovely complexion, yet most of you
do just the things which are the most
ruinous to your appearance.
One thing almost all girls love that
spells actual death to a fine skin is
candy. Sweets Of all kinds are bad in
excess, but rich candies absolutely
cannot 60 with a good skin. Almost
invariably you will find that the girl
who is always munc:ing on sweets
usually has her face covered with erup-
lions. There are a few exceptions,
but so few that they scarcely count
Affects the Complexion
Sweets and a pretty skin are as far
apart as the poles. So If you girls
really wish to improve your COM
plexions you will eliminate sweets al
most entirely. 1t is not necessary to do
away with all sweets for good, because
the system demands a certain amount
Of sugar. But If you take one helping
of dessert at lunch and dinner and
sugar in your tea or coffee, you are
giving a great plenty of sweets to your
digestive apparatus.
You can see for yourself, if you
reason sensibly, that this constant nib
bling at rich chocolates and cakes
Is sure to choke up the system, which
in turn causes unhealthy eruptions all
over the skin from the disturbed
blood. You can never hope for a
fine complexion so long as you are
SO very self-indulgent
1t is hard to eliminate candies and
ii demands a great exercise of will |
power IL you have a real sweet tooth. |
But If you can deprive yourself of
sweets, except simple desserts, for |
month or two you will be amply re-
paid for your self-denial by the change |
in your complexion. You cannot ex-
pect any difference in a week or two, |
but a month will bring decided i'm
provements and two months will make !
your skin look like new.
A Great Temptation
You will undoubtedly experience the !
greatest temptations to yield to the |
lure of the sweets, but hold to your |
good intentions. You have no idea |
how different you will look with a
clear, smooth, healthy skin. But il
you have been accustomed to nibbling
at chocolates whenever you wanted
you will have bad time shaking off
the pernicious habit.
I1O"CNClp IL yOu hohC uP yOul
you can overcome this ruinous habit.
You will find It help to eat fig or
an apple whenever the longing for
candy comes over you. Instead of fill
ing up on sweets eat plenty of fruit.
Oranges and apples are particularly
good for you. Figs, both fresh and
dried, are an excellent candy substi-
tute and you will find that the long:
er you do without sweets the less you
crave for them.
Once you have broken yourselves of
the sweets habit, never go back to it,
because it is just like any other habit.
Once it gets its hold on you it is very
hard to shake of.
. Give up salves and lotions for PIN
pies. They will not help and may
harm your skin. If your skin is broken
out and you are addicted to the candy
habit you have only to break off the
latter to cure the former
