According to the latest discoveries
Of science, rheumatism originates in
an infection. Naturally, therefore, it
follows that lowering of the entire
tone of the system from diet that Is
lacking IN any of the essential ele.
ments of nutrition, leaves the indi-
vidual an easy prey to the disease.
Another prolific source of the in
lection lies in diseased tonsils and the
resultant sore throat. which causes so
much misery and suffering Through
these tonsils the germs of rheumatic
infection gain a ready access to the
system. The best way to remedy this
is. of course, an entire removal of the
tonslls. This does not mean clipping
of the ends. but thorough elimina-
ton of every particle Of the tonsl
growth.
A similar important precaution is
to guard carefully against the pos
sibility of additional infection of the
throat and mouth by means of dis
eased teeth. Decayed teeth are
menace of frightful proportions.
They keep the mouth and throat in a
constantly poisoned state and offer
a veritable culture ground for the
baccilli Of the most deadly infec-
tions.

Due to insufficient Diet?

A GREAT many people are COM
~ pletely obsessed with the err
- roneous belief that rheumatism
comes from eating too much meat.
From medical point Of view nothing
is further from the truth. In fact, we
are now advised that there is no real
scientific basis for this widespread
impression.
However, even the medical profess
sion, until quite recently, held that
rheumatism was mainly a disease of
the joints. This idea, also, must now
be uprooted entirely. Rheumatism at
the present time is considered chiefly
an affection of the heart.
Furthermore, we learn from no less
IN authority than William H. Gal
and, an eminent American specialist
On children's diseases, that rheuma-
tism is largely disease affected by
the poor. Obviously, the cause of it's
prevalence in this class is due prin-
cipally to insufficient nourishment,
|. g., to the lack of foods containing the
right proportion Of the essential ele-
ments Of nutriment. There may be a
sufficient quantity Of certain foods,
but there is usually an absence Of
some important nutrient element like
mineral ash or carbohydrates, while
the protein and fat elements general
" exist in greatly excessive proper

Here is another little economy
which many of us neglect and that is
the saving Of celery tops and bits of

Also any odds and ends of spinach

unused slices of onion can all be
saved for later use by placing them
in some convenient receptacle and
driving them in the oven. They are
simply invaluable for continental

Getting Ahead of Wrinkles
By Lima Cavalie,I,
the Most Famous Liyinp Beaxfy

THE wrinkle regions of
woman's face are four. The
first is about the outer cor
ners of the eyes. The wrinkles there
formed have been known for many
ages as crows feet, because they ra-
date outward in somewhat the fash
ion that birds toes are disposed.
They might as fittingly be called
chickens toes, or pigeons toes, or
eagles toes. They are supposed to
be the ineradicable, unmistakable
signs Of age.
The truth is, they are the paths of
laughter and indicate a merry dis
position. have seen them strongly
marked on the face of boy of
twelve. l have seen them strongly
marked on the countenance of
young woman of twenty-one. They
are the measures of the laughing
capacity Of the person who bears
them. In the light they are the
least ugly of the wrinkles; yet
wrinkles they are, and at best
wrinkles are undesirable.
To remove these disfguring crows
feet, dip the tips Of the fingers in one
of the good massage creams, and with
the second and third fingers rub the
affected area with a rotary motion
working from the corners of the eyes
outward.
Far more disiguring than crows
feet, because Of their more ignoble
origin and much more difficult to
erase, are the diagonal lines from
the nostrils to the corner of the lips.
They are known variously as "bad
temper lines" the lines Of discon-
tent" and emotional lines" Using
the middle finger, the massage
should begin at the corners Of the
mouth, and should end where its
lines end, at the nostrils. This move
ment should also be rotary one. It
should be deeper and frmer than thai
about the eyes.
The third Of the wrinkle areas,
and the one in which the wrinkles
first appear in most faces, is the

forehead. A doctor that l know
said that the signs upon the fore
head are unmistakable and infallible
ones.
when woman has three trans
verse lines across the forehead, l
know that she is twenty seven, he
told me gravely. "When she has
two vertical lines between the eyes
l know that shesis forty-fve." This
is interesting enough, but it is un-
true. I know half dozen women
of fifty who have neither Of these
groups Of telltale lines.
In massaging the lines of the brow,
remember the general. rule for mas
sage. The movement must be in the
contrary direction from the line.
For instance the vertical lines be-
tween the eyes must be treated by
the second finger Of each hand and
must be rotary and upward, branch
ing above the eyes with a gently d.
minishing motion to the right and
left toward the temples. The trans
verse lines, forming as they do, by
creasing of the skin from bottom to
top, should be massaged by rotary
motion from the bottom to the top
Of the forehead.
The fourth of the danger zones is
in front of the ears. The vertical
lines in front Of the ears are be-
lieved to. betoken advancing age.
Yet, like those about the eyes, they
are misleading. They sometimes ap-
pear on the faces of infants. The
manner in which the ear sets ac-
counts largely for the presence of
those wrinkles. If it is set out from
the head prominently the skin is
loose in front of the ear and falls
readily into wrinkles. If the ear
sets close to the head the skin in
front of the ear is drawn taut, and
the so-called age-betraying wrinkles
never appear To check this fold Of
skin is almost impossible If the ear
stands out from the head. To retard
its deepening, use the middle finger
for massage, and with deep, firm

Such a condition might be caused by
