MISS T. L. R.-You are perhaps one
OF those who have been mixing powders
into paste to remove superfuous hairs.
You have probably found it very dis
tasteful. not to say irritating and danger
Gus. This is not at all necessary. There
are lots Of things that will burn off"
hairs, and they will irrtate and redden
the skin at the same time. What is de-
sired is to use something which has
for its work merely the removal of hair,
and nothing else. This is very easily
accomplished by the application Of a few
drops of sulfo solution on the hairs to be
removed. The hairs can then be wiped off
with the finger. leaving the skin ex-
quisitely fresh and beautiful. This sulfo
solution can be frequently used, and just
as easily and with as much pleasure as
any face cream or lotion. 1t can be Sc
cured at any drug store.
EXPECTING.-The following method
of removing wrinkles is entirely revolu-
tionary 1t is done by the common sense
method of making the pores smaller 1t is
surprising the effect that this produces.
The texture OF the skin is Immediately
made finer Every one knows how
wrinkly a coarse skin usually is This
is because the tissue is fabby and the
pores are large. By this new method the
pores brace up" the skin becomes more
vigorous and as natural result wrinkles
begin to disappear. Get a two-ounce
package of eptol. By mixing this with
Just one tables poonful of glycerine with
water. a cream is secured which is ex-
tremely satiny and delightful. The eptol
can be secured at the drug store, and
can be obtained for the small cost will
make you revel in it. and you will also
get the results.
BUTTERFLY.-You will find the
shampooing of hair no drudgery, but an
unqualified picnic" by using, instead of
the usual headwashes, a teaspoonful of the
powder. eggol, dissolved in a cup of water.
1t is safe to say that you never realized
your scalp could be so clean, and your
hair so gloriously silky. The cause of
much of the hair trouble we hear about
is the accumulation of fatty substances
and dandruff scales on the SCALP. These
can hardly be removed as they should be
by the ordinary methods of cleansing the
scalp. They must he dissolved away. and
this ecgol does it in splendid fashion. II

SPANISH INFLUENZA. WHAT IT IS
AND HOW IT SHOULD Be TREATED

Russia by Way of France and This Time
by Way Of Spain.

over SO, or not strong, stay IN ped
four days or more, according to the
severity of the attack.
EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS
In order to stimulate the lining of
the air passages to throw off the
grippe germs, to aid in loosening
the phlegm and keeping the air pas
sages open, thus making the
breathing easier, Vick's VapoRub
will be found effective. Hot, wet
towels should be applied over the
throat, chest and back between the
shoulder blades to open the pores.
Then VapoRub should be rubbed in
over the parts until the skin is red,
spread on thickly and cover with two
thicknesses of hot flannel cloths.
Leave the clothing loose around the
neck as the heat of the body lib
crates the ingredients, in the form
of vapors. These vapors, inhaled
with each breath, carry the medica-
ton directly to the parts affected.
At the same time, VapoRub is alb
sorbed through and stimulates the
skin, attracting the blood to the sur
face, and thus aids in relieving the
congestion within.
HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE
Evidence seems to prove that this
is a germ disease, spread principal
ly by human contact, chiefly through
coughing, sneezing or splitting. So
avoid persons having colds-which
means avoiding crowds-common
drinking cups, roller towels, etc.
Keep up your bodily strength by
plenty of exercise in the open air,
and good food. Above all, keep free
from colds, as colds irritate the lin
ing Of the air passages and render
them much better breeding places
for the germs.
Use Vick's VapoRub at the very
first sign of a cold. For head cold,
melt a'little VapoRub in a spoon
and inhale the vapors, or better still,
use VapoRub in benzoin steam
kettle. If this is not available, use
an ordinary tea kettle. Fill half
full of boiling water, put in half
teaspoon of VapoRub from time to
time-keep the kettle just slowly
boiling and inhale the steam arising.
NOTE-Vick's VapoRub is the dis
covery of a North Carolina drug
gist, who found how to combine, in
salve form, Menthol and Camphor
with such volatile oils as Eucalyp-
tus, Thyme, Cubebs, ETC., so that
when the salve is applied to the
body heat, these ingredients are lib
Grated in the form of vapors.
VapoRub is comparatively new
in New York State and New Eng
land and a few Western states,
where it is just now being intro
duced, but in the other sections of
the country it is the standard home
remedy in over million homes for
all forms of cold troubles. Over
six million jars were sold last year.
1t is particularly recommended for
children's Group or colds, since it is
externally applied and therefore
can be used as freely as desired
without the slightest harmful eff
fects. VapoRub can be had in three
sizes at all druggists.-AdH

Hair will stop falling as if by magic. The
new vigor of the hair will be quickly
noticed, and all bald spots will be soon
entirely filled out with new sprouts. This
can all be easily obtained by the simple
use of ta-quinol which can be secured
at any drug store in the original one
ounce package. This can be easily mixed
at home with half pint of bay rum and a
half pint of water. 1t contains no oil

Best Treatment for Catarrh,
Group, Coughs, and Colds

Many people, however, use
the HIOMEI vapor treat
ment in conjunction with the
inhaler.
The vapor treatment is
best taken just before going
to bed; it only takes about
five minutes time. Pour a
teaspoonful of HYOMEI
into a bowl three quarters
full of boiling water, cover
head and bowl with towsi,
and breathe the vapor that
arises deep into the lungs.
By this method many a hard
cold has been broken up
over night. A HYOMEI out

The best way to deal with such hens
is to feed them heavily to fit for mar

should be kept as long as they lay,
