Poodle-Kate-Rea Reader-zFreckles may be bleached off, but the tendency to them will remain. as they are caused by iron in the blood which is brought out on the skin by the sun; however this only happens about one third of the year. during the time when the sun is the strongest They will bleach off themselves, but to hasten this at this time of the year. a simple bleach is either lemon juice or cucumber juice. The former Is used just as it is squeezed from the fruit. The cucumber juice is made by cutting the vegetable into small pieces, retaining the skin and stew ing it gently until all the Juices are extracted from 1t. Start the cooking with a small amount of water added to the vegetable and when all of 1t is softened into a pulp. strain and use. If you want to keep 1t for a length of time, a preservative must be added, such as alcohol or a small quantity of salieilic- acid.

F.-Happy.- Subscrfber-If the general health is good and the scalp shows a tendency to extreme of1fness, or if 1t is dry, 1t shows that the difficulty is local and may be corrected often by encourag- ing a better circulation.

Massage will correct this also in ord1- nary eases, but a good tonic for the scalp should be used in addition to this massa geing if such cases do not improve after e few months of the simpler treatme ent.
 Double Chin.-The woman with a double chin is usually too stout all over and needs a general reduction hut f1~a I'm mt jG massage the chin also. Throw back the head. tilting the chin, and iron off this extra fat by using the palm of the hand, beginning at the collar of the chiIr. This raises all the muscles of the face and prevents any sagging and also gives some exercise to all of the lower part of the cheeks which will be very much in need of being toned after they have been carrying this extra fat. Follow the exercise by using an astringent or give the skin the eNhiliration of an ice rub. This treatment hardens the skin and contracts the pores, other wise the skin would be baggy after the fat had ben absorbed.
 Brown Eyes. - Substitute whole wheat or graham bread for that from white flour and curtail the amount of starch in the entire diet. Frequently this is all that is needed when the person is only about 70 pounds ever weight. If you feel that you require more information about choice of food and quantity. send a stamped addressed envelope for this.
 Miss R. E. S.-Mrs. J. A. H.-Deep breathing is helpful when the bust is too small or when it is too stout, as it develops all the muscles of the chest, which means an absorbtion of excessive fatty tissue, while the mus cles are strengethened. For the thin woman, a gentle massage with cocoa butter Cor any good skin food) will be an added nourishment. but in either case a beneficial result will come from dashing cold water over the chest every day, followed by light friction with a coarse towel.
