The sixth of the Seven Valleys
that the Twins had to go through
on their way to the Lard of the
korsknotts was called the Valley of

not know this as they looked down
into its depths from the top of a
hill.

Your Health
Concrete Arteries
BY bK. *. II. BISHOP

habits and worrying a great deal.
then ten 10 one you are gradually
hardening your arteries. turning
them TO stone. so to speak.
You can easily tell whether you
are acquiring hardening CT n ar

taken. The average blood pressure
for the healthy person is I2O-1SO. \
blood pressure which continues TO

A man is never old as long as his
arteries Keep young, but to Keep
them young requires daily attention
to good hygiene.
To prerent high blood pressure
and ultimately hardening of the ar
teries-eat slowly and select food
free from or low in protein or nitro

on milk, eggs, meat. fish and cheese,
and confine yourself largely to fresh

Director, Children's Theatre Guild
OF Rochester, N. \.
The next national step in educa-
ton will be the children's theatre.
We have started it as a COM
munity movement in Rochester and
the results have been 81 splendid
that l foresee its adoption by cities
all over the country.
The dramatic field for little folk
has far-reaching possibilities. 1t is
high time that children leaned what
constitutes good drama and good
acting. Otherwise there will be no
development in the American stage.
Plenty of fine music is written ex-
pressly for children, but there is
very little dramatic literature for
them.
We cannot begin too early to teach
children good taste and nigh stand
ards, not only in music but in drama.
The children's theatre need not be
merely a school to make actors and
actresses. 1t wiss teach poise and
personality. cultivate the speaking
voice and raise the standard of Eng
lish.
Astonishing gifts are disclosed in
little folk. Our experience in bring

BEAUTY HINTS

A skin which is too dry is scarcely
less annoying than n which IS TOO
oily, A too dry condition is brought
about by the use of soaps which con
tain too much alkali, whose corrosive
action, like the action of chalk and
magnesia, deprives the skin OF It's
lubricant.
Toilet preparations which contain
much alcohol oil ~glycerine should De
avoided by the woman with the too
dry skin. The non-greasy creams
and those known as vanishing
creams are also her natural enemies!
Supply Oils
The dry skin is the one which no
soap and water should touch: Cream
should be used entirely for cleansing
until the harsh condition has been
eliminated. then a little water VIII
do no harm.
A good skin food. soothing and
cleansing in effect, a ~skin-toning To-
ton and a fatty powder are the
most reliable mediums for combating
a condition which tends toward
wrinkles and a faded. lifeless COM
plexion. The skin food should be
patted in. Just a few moments
gentle friction three days out or the
week and in a months time a harsh
skin is beginning to soften and take
on a beautiful luster.
Following the patting in OF the
skin food the skin toning lotion
should be used. Then the powder.
Powder should be lightly busted on
the face, never rubbed on with the
heavy touch n sometimes sees
young girls employing. ~Scrubbing
powder, or in fact any toilet compo-
sition. into the skin ruins 1t. The
! heavy touch results in a sagging OF
muscles and the production of lines
as well as sometimes spelling the
texture of the skin.
Better too light a touch than too
heavy.
