The Rock Island Argus and daily union. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1920-1923, 1921-07-27

Dear Mrs Thompson: What will
inexpensively reduce the hips? viii
any exercise do this? Also, what
will remove blackheads quickly?
/ do a great deal of walking. 1t
makes my ankles and my calves
large What will keep them small
err? MARCELLENE M M.
Lie on the back, bring the knees
to the chest; clasp the ends of a
wand or broomstick, one end in
each hand, and rest the feet upon
the stick so grasped. Keep the
knees to the chest Stretch the left
leg as nearly perpendicular as you
can upward above the wand; reach
with the toes; stretch the muscles
of the limb as far as possible; re-
lax and bring back to position of the
foot on the stick. While stretching
the left leg keep the right foot on
the stick. Stretch ten times with
the right leg, and ten times with the
left leg. This will reduce the hips
and abdomen. You may not be able
to touch the knees to the chest at
first or to grasp the stick in both
hands, but persist until you can do
so.
There would be a lot of beautiful
people in the world if there were
quick" beauty methods. Time, pa
thence and perseverance are neces-
sary to correct any fault. For
blackheads try the green soap
treatment: Tincture of green soap,
two ounces; distilled witch hazel,
two ounces. Let this mixture stay
on only a few moments, then wash
off with hot water. If the green
times will, use it every other day.
Apply a cold cream
Green soap may be purchased at
any drug store. 1t is not a regular
cake SOAP" but is of about the
consistency of custard
Open each seed acne with the
point of a fine cambria needle. The
hardened mass must be pressed or
picked out. The empty sac of the
gland should then be bathed with
little toilet vinegar and water, or
with a very weak solution of car
bolic acid and water Sterilize the
needle before using it by dipping
into polling wafer, as the use of any
instrument. unless the skin as well
as the needle is thoroughly cleansed,
is always dangerous.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l want to
ask your advice about my daughter.
I am very much worried about her
of late. She is 16 and until recently
has been very loving and obedient
child, but she has made the ac-
quaintance of a girl who has just
moved into the neighborhood. She
spends a great deal of her time
Nth her and when she returns
home from being with this girl she
is wilful and seems like another
girl.
My trouble is this, shall 1 posi-
lively forbid her going with this
girl, or what can l do to keep them
apart?
1t seems as though cannot stand
to have her spend another minute
under such bad influence.
MRS. ].
A girl of 16 is tickle. l think it
would be a good idea to encourage
your daughter to pend more time
with companions of whom you ap-
prove. 1t would be a good idea to
arrange little affairs for her Plan
picnics and things of that kind and
thus draw her into the society of
others as well as the girl across
the street. 1t would probably be a
good idea to include the young lady
in question in some of these affairs,
dropping her gradually when the
time seems favorable. l think this
method would be more effective
than to excite antagonism.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am Is
old and in love with a boy about
one year my senior. Every time l
meet him he speaks, and if at a
distance he waves. Do you think
he cares for me?
BROWN EYES.
You are too young to say that
you are in love. If you reason it
out you will realize that you only
