Many of the toilet articles which
are in daily use can be made up at
home. Cleansing creams, tissue build
ing creams, lotions for skin diseases,
shampoos and hair tonics do not re-
uuire a professional to make them
successfully, and some women VINO
have time and ambition, still mix these
things for themselves. They have the
satisfaction of knowing that the in
gradients are clean and pure, and on
some things they save money.
For a dry skin, after the face has
been washed in warm water with
bland soap and rinsed in cold water,
the following cream is recommended:
White wax, one ounce; spermaceti,
one ounce; almond oil, four ounces;
rose water. four ounces. Rub in the
skin and then wipe off with sort

Chinese WheeIbarroWs.

Probably more freight and more
passengers are transported In China
by the wheelbarrow than by any other
land method. The wheelbarrow there
used differs from that used by us. In
the fact that the wheel Is set in the
center, and thus supports practically
the entire load. while the handles are
supported in part by a strap or rope
over the shoulders Of the man who
operates 1t. AS a result, the wheel

One medium potato gives as much

more than one egg. The tissue-build-
ing material, protein, is present only
in slight amount, 50 that milk, cheese,
eggs, fish and meat, which are rich In
protein, are the logical foods to eat
with potatoes. However, the small
quantity Of protein which the potato
contains is Of an especially valuable
kind. Potatoes are rich in the min
