Even as there is a marked differ
ence in the nectar that modern pill
grims receive at the end Of their

in the mode of their travel. In the
days Of Athenian splendor the de-
votional Greek bore heavily upon

tance that separated the Grove Of
Delphi from the Corinthiaa Cali.
To-day the victim Of amendments

TIME epic Of Bimini, beautiful
Isle Of the Fountain of
Youth, awaits tho pen Of
q modern Homer. This Is
but It's prelude. Bimini Is q dot
upon the island-strewn waters Of
the Spanish Main. Forgotten
through the long centuries that have
followed the arrival Of Columbus at
the sister island Of Waiting, It has
suddenly become the Delphic Oracle
Of the Western World in the first
year Of the new amendment era.
There In the sacred groves Of this
enchanted isle the seeker Of that
nectar Of tho gods which kills all
remorse can find the solace for his
laryngeal craving that the Spartan
code Of the mainland has denied.
There he can get it in superexhi.a-
rating draughts, with none to inter-
fere with the ecstasy Of his devotion.
To Bimini the devotees of Bacchus
are thronging in ever increasing
numbers, until they far eclipse in
volume those faithful Greeks who
wended their difficult way to the
temple they had erected in the shade
of Parnassus to the eternal glory Of
Apollo.
Not From a Fountain
The nectar of Bimini comes not
from the fountain sought by Ponce
de Leon. Nor is it like that OF the
Hellenic deity, but It's limpid and

for more than thirty years, and ex-

enormous percentage of persons who
use alcohol as beautifier are mostly
on the wrong track. They see the
immediate results of skin stimula-
tion but they have never learned
the after results.

This is the record Of their activities,
and we will let the first aerial pas
senger agent" narrate 1t.
I'VE commenced flying operations
in Florida early In December, 1919.
During the season a total Of 1900
passengers were carried In comfort
and safety. We maintained a large
operating base at Cocoanut Grove
formerly a United States naval air
New-York tribune., 1920-05-16

station), with a main ticket Office
and passenger station at Miami and
an operating base and branch ticket
Office at Palm Beach, under the title
Aero Limited.
CAT the height Of the season we
had in operation two aeromarine fly
ing boats, one Curtiss Seagull and
fifteen HS2L naval flying boats,
equipped with Liberty motors. The
latter were reconstructed to carry
six people, including the pilot.
"At Miami we had the first pas
senger flying boat station in the
world. 1t consisted of a large
barge, dressed up with canopy
and wicker chairs, together with
a Photographic department and desk
accommodation for the use Of Gus
toms, health and immigration off,
GERS. The barge lay out a distance
Of forty yards in the Bay Of Bis
cayne, so that large flying boats like
the HS2L could moor to it and
the passengers step aboard as on
railroad train.
Had to Have Passports
Now one Of the most peculiar
experiences we encountered was
when our flying boats returned from
Bimini or other islands in the Ba-
hamas and even from Cuba. We
discovered we had to 60 through the
same official red tape as did an
ocean liner arriving in the port Of
New York with more than 1000
passengers. 1t was necessary for all
our passengers to obtain passports
before they were permitted to leave
the country On their quest.

face, and to deplete them is to de-
stroy beauty.
When Witch Hazel Hurts
"Few people pause to consider
that when men use bay rum on their
faces to allay irritation occasioned
by shaving the barber quickly re-
moves all the alcohol by an applica-
tion Of hot towels, although this is
not the BARRIERS reason for using
hot towels. 1t is when men employ
witch hazel, which contains Is per
cent Of alcohol, after shaving them
selves that they ruin their COM
plexions by this constant applica-
ton Of alcohol.
II BARRIERS rarely know the eff
feet of alcohol on the skin, how can
women be expected to know" de.
raanded the doctor. Women see d
lotion that is good for some special
kind Of cuticle, and they all buy
and use it on every sort of COM
Llexfon, with more or less disastrous
results. That woman who is inclined
to grow little fuzz on her face
will apply alcohol diligently, won
dering why the fuzz increases 50
alarmingly and never realizing that
alcohol acts as stimulus to fuzz
and as destroyer of stiff hair, such
as grows on thesscalp.
'Two different elements are re-
quired to grow stiff hair and fuzz
Stiff hair demands more oil supply
and the other more stimulating. This
means that alcoholic dryers are det.
rimental to the scalp, and for this
reason good hair tonics never con
tain the 81 per cent of alcohol which
is found in bay rum.
'It is the application on the scalr
Of waters containing alcohol that
causes dandruff. When the oil bear.
ing cells of the scalp are active the
hair is healthy, lustrous and beauti
full, but when these nourishing cells
are inactive a gummy substance
oozes over the scalp, dries and forms
dandruff.
"The object of hair tonic" in
formed this manipulation of pulchri
tude, sis to bring blood to the seal,
and stimulate the roots of the hal
to luxuriant growth. For that rea
son capsicum and cantharides art
ingredients of nearly all hair tonic

Beware of Tea

A white aproned man interrupted
the doctor with a question about
some invisible persons nose. When
the surgeon had returned to his pa
tient the authority on beauty ex-
planned:
"Two-thirds of our work is re-
shaping noses. We average eight
noses day."
The doctor took up his theme,
plus noses.
"Prohibition isn't as bad for
beauty as the majority Think" he
commented. RED noses are brought
about by overindulgence in alco-
holic beverages, as we'll as by poor
circulation, tight clothing and bad
digestion. Even an immoderate
fondness for tea will occasion the
breaking Of tiny blood vessels in the
nose, with an effect very disfguring

heard that massage is necessary to
disperse this CONCEALED blood, and

"Alcohol not only dries the skin
and causes it to age rapidly, but it
also darkens the complexion and In
jures pretty face in twofold men

through the skin has the same eff

we doctors find alcohol Of benefit to

nally, but none of US who has an
