Health and Beauty Hints.

Heavy eyebrows are lust as unat-

perfiuous hairs can be removed. and
those remaining should be brushed

strong soap. In fact, soap should
not be used often, for it has a drying
effect. Oatmeal used In the water has
a cleansing and softening effect.
The arrangement of the hair has q
great deal TO do with ones appearance.
The woman nearing the forty mark
