To keep out flies get few yards OF
fine white book muslin and make into
bags of various sizes. Through the
hem at the open end pass fine tape.
After the dishes are removed from the
table slip one of these bags over and
tie the bag securely This method
not only keeps flies from settling, but
prevents dust from collecting. The
bags can be boiled and kept sweet and
clean, and are far more hygienic than
the wire covers generally used.

Superhuous Hair.

The skin of woman's face is naturally COW

There is 10 known way to destroy the growth
OF hair. excepting the electric (electroly-
sIs) and in certain cases. the N-ray, in skilled
hands. All depilatorieS which applied in
the form of paste wash merely dissolve
the hair the surface but. course do not
destroy the hair roots, that the hair soon
grows out as strong stronger than before.
bari"m su!phidc is the usual ingredient OF
the dcpatory paste. The powder is mixed
with perhaps six times much starch powder
or zinc oxide powder. equal quantities OF
each. When it is desired for use some Of il
is moistened and mixed into thin paste. and
smeared over the hair 10 be dissolved off 1t

ing Is fclt--which Will be in twenty
minutes usually II IL then washed off with
severa! rinsings Of warm water. the skin dried
and freely smcared with fresh cold cream or
sterile v,seline.
The use OF such depatory is easier than
the use of razor. but the effect Is identical
with that of the razor. assuming that pro-
nounced skin Inflammation is produced by tho
chemical.
safety razor is ideal for removing hair
from the armpitS or elsewhere. There is no
more hygienic objection TO the removal of hair
from the arinpit than there is for stopping ex-
cessivc perspiatiou there, provided that ,hc
agent employed Is not itself poisonous or ir-
ritat!ng.
Iilectroiysis is tedious demands patience on
the part of the operator and patient, and IL

every hair removed is destroyed times tho
