 It is good plan to warm the sour milk or the buttermilk a little, but don't boil it.
 Of course, no patriotic woman will buy fresh milk and deliberately let it sour for such use during war time. am advocating these remedies only for using up the very small quantities wise be wasted.
 For Face and Hands.
 A remedy sometimes helpful for freckles is little scraped horseradish added to buttermi1k. Let the horse radish stand in the buttermilk for about nine hours, then strain and bottle the liquid.
 If you wish to whiten your face and hands, keeping them soft and smooth, try this method once a day.
 Wash your face and hands with a pure white soap and warm water, then wash in sour milk or buttermilk, wipe lightly on a soft cloth. Finally rub both the face and hands with a little cornmeal, but this latter isn't absolutely essential to good results.
 Here is another face wash that will help to protect your skin from sun- burn and will aid in keeping it

A FEW GOOD HELPS.

Last seasons white shoes that have become gray and shabby after many cleanings can reappear next summer as tan shoes. The transformation is effected in this way. Mix 10 drops of saffron and two teaspoonfuls of olive oil and rub well into the shoe with a piece of flannel. Clean the shoe well first, as any soiled place will make a dark spot. Two coats will likely be enough to use.

June is considered by many pre-em inently the month of marriages, The word wedding is derived from the ancient Anglo-Saxon 'wed" custom. The "wed' consisted of a gift, in- cluding ring, given to the bride by the bridegroom. At the marriage ceremonies in those times the father of the bride presented his son-in- law with one of his daughters shoes as token of the transfer of author ity and the bride was struck sharp ly on the head with the shoe by her new spouse as reminder that he was henceforth her "hoss.'

Here Is a Message That
May Mean An End
To All of Your
Suffering.

In many ways this winter has
already broken all records for Sc
verify, and hence intense suffering
has followed in its wake. Those
afflicted with Rheumatism will long
remember the pangs of pain which
have multiplied with the unusual
cold, wintry blasts which have
grasped the entire country.
Not only have chronic sufferers
felt more than ever before the tor
lures Of Rheumatism. but probably
more new cases have developed
than in any two ordinary WIN
tiers, because of the unheard Of in
tensity of weather conditions. And
to- those who are just feeling the
first little twinging pains of the
disease, we would warn you TO
take the right course at the out
set, and avoid permitting yourself
to fall a helpless victim to one of
the most disabling and painful dis
eases to which the human family
is subject.
If you have had Rheumatism for
any length of time, the chances
are that you have kept the lini-
ment bottle pretty busy during
these trying times, but you may
as well realize now that gallons of
liniments and other locally applied
remedies will never nd you of this
body-wrecking, pain-rackins' dis
ease. The best that you can expect
from such treatment is some little
temporary relief from the sharp,
shooting pains.
But If you are a person Of INTEL
