Two pretty girls, sharing the same
beauty secret, although one lived 5000
years ago. Girls who both know that
fresh smooth, radiant skin is not only
womans greatest charm, but one within
the reach of every woman.
For pretty girls used Palmolive in the
days Of ancient Egypt. just as they do
today The crude combination of palm
and olive oils which served as beautfying
cleanser was the inspiration of the familiar
Palmolve cake, famous for its mildness
the world over.
Modern science, with all its progress,
can find no milder, more soothing cleans
ers than these two ancient oils. 1t can
only perfect their combination and offer
it in the most efficient and convenient
form.

Sisters in beauty

Arms and shoulders should be kept
smooth and white and hands must be
beautihed.
Use Palmolive for bathing and these
results are insured with the comfort of
a skin which always feels luxuriously
smooth.
Not extravagant at the price
If Palmolive was a very expensive soap,
such advice would mean extravaganza.
But the firm, long wearing cake OF gener-
Gus size costs only 10 cents.
The reason is gigantic production which
keeps the Palmolve factories working
day and night and the importation OF the
bland, mild oils in the vast volume which
reduces cost.
Thus this finest facial soap, which II
made in small quantities would cost at
least Is cents, is offered at the popular
price which all can afford for every toilet
purpose.

MAKE BOILED STARCH
THAT DOESN'T STICK
Good General Recipe Given for
Making Cooked Material.
No, Possible to Give Directions Tor
Definite Amounts to Be Used Be-
cause Fabrics Vary-5orax
Helps to Whiten.

Clothes are starched to stiffen them
TO give them the gloss of new material
and to make them keep clean longer.
The following is good general recipe
for making cooked starch, recommend
ed by the United States Department
of Agriculture:
/ to 4 tablespoonfuls II teaspoonful eor-
starch, according to AK
stiffness desired. n teaspooiiiui pH
, crnfnl az nint) cold affin or white fat
water. quart poiiiiis wa
ter.
Make a paste of the starch and the
cold water; add the borax, the paraffln
or fat, and the boiling water. Boil the
mixture, stirring 1t thoroughly, until
1t is clear, or for about 20 minutes.
Remove any scum that forms and
strain the starch while hot.
The borax may be omitted, but It
helps whiten the clothes and 1t, as
well as the paraffin or the fat, makes
the starch smoother In ironing. Alum
is sometimes added (from one tea
spoon to one tablespoonful to one
quart of water) and is useful in max
ing the starch penetrate the fiber. 1t
apparently thins the paste but does
not decrease its stiffening property.
1t is impossible to give definite d.
rections for amounts of cooked starch
to be used, because all depends upon
the fabric and the degree of stiffness
desired. However, If the four table
spoonfuls of starch have been used
to the quart of water, cupful of this
may be diluted with about three quarts
of water for starching such articles
as petticoats and gingham dresses.
Garments should be starched wrong
side out and left so until they are
sprinkled.
II many clothes are to be starched
II is wise to keep a part of the cooked
starch hot and add it to the used
starch as the latter becomes too cool
and thin. The garments that are to
he stiffest should be starched first.
After thorough squeezing and dipping
the surplus starch should be wrung
ont and the garments either rubbed or
matted. Garments wrung very dry be-
fore starching will be sitter than wet
ter ones. Stiff-bosomed shirts should
not be starched too far down nor
plaited bosoms too stiff, else they VIII
hunch up in wear, look clumsy, and
feel uncomfortable. If one is starched
too far down the lower part may be
moistened enough to render it pliable.
A solution of borax water (about
one teaspoonful of borax to one quart
of water) may be used for stiffening
very thin fabrics, such as laces, voiles,
organdies and dimities. 1t gives body
and crispness, similar to the original
dressing.

PIES WITHOUT SOGGY CRUST
Secret Of Turning Out Juicy Concoc-
tion Lies in First Baking Un-
dercrust Until Drowned.

A berry pie with an edible under
crust has always been a problem to
the housekeeper, however expert she
may be in her pastry cooking. Spe-
cialists in the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture say that the Sc
cret of turning out a juicy pie with
a crisp undercrust, lies in baking the
undercrust first until it is evenly
Drowned. If overbaked, it will be too
dark brown when cooked the second
time; undercooked, it will be doughty.
The crust should also be thoroughly
pricked with a fork to prevent blis-
ters. In the case of very juicy fruits
such as dewberries, the fruit should
be cooked first and part of the juice
removed before the thickening and
sugar are added. After the fruit is
put in the shell and the edge moist
ened, the raw top crust is added and
carefully tucked in, the pie is baked
In the ordinary way.
