want to know the fa,ts about govern
ment insurance. over $500, 600, coo in

the activity of the skin tends to re-
move its blemishes.
The face should not be steamed
more than twice Il week and then
gently. for about ten minutes. If the
skin is muddy or blotchy massage
with healing cream into the open pores
is advisable, but if, as in Roberta's
case, only the tineness of the skin is
desired, the face should be wiped off
with soft cloth, to remove the oil
steamed out of the pores, then it
should be rinsed in cool water TO close
the pores, and finally rubbed with Il
piece of ice to close them completely.
Tie action of opening and closing the
pores tends to shrink them and in time
they will return to their normal size.
Everything takes time, of course,
Nature, intelligently assisted will over
come and cure most abnormal condi-
tons, hut nature works slowly.

For as Pa carved the bird a commotion

And showers of arrows came down in

Those were the times when they hadn't

Dodging the bear cat while hunting
