YOUR
HEALTH
BY Brice Belden, M. D.

r T is not enough to know how
the body does its work. The
= storing OF the mind with
hygienic knowledge is important.
but in itself 1t is not sufficient.
What. then. remains for those who
would have good health to dor
Mere knowledge is OF no avail
unless one forms habits Of health
which will help one at all times
throughout life.
In the first place. you should
cultivate the thought that health
is something splendid and worth
while, because its possession
means strength. beauty. power to
do things well, cheerfulness, hap
piness and usefulness.
In the second place, II you are
naturally strong and healthy. es-
tablish health habits that will en-
able you TO make the most Of
your fortunate endowment con-
tinuously; by not doing things that
harm the body you will not nullity
the superior chances that nature
has given you. II you are not nat
urauy strong and healthy, remem-
Der that you can become 50 by
the adoption Of good habits.
Life is a race. We must regard
ourselves as athletes in training
for this race. Whether we win
or lose will depend very largely on
how strong we keep our bodies.
Proper attention to the body will
get II into the best possible oondi'
ton. It is certainly worth while
to form habits that will enable you
to win in the game of life.
Remember that you cannot gain
health by taking medicines or ton
les. Self-doctoring Is practically al
ways harmful In any case.
Whenever you are really Ill SON
suit a physician promptly since
definite medical treatment may
be needed. The body, however. can
cure itself Of most diseases, pro-
vided Il 10 healthy through ooser'
ance of the rules Of personal n.y.

will be its own reward. You are
truly as young as you look.
= Besides, think of the enjoyment
that these minutes OF refreshing
massage can give you. Haven't you
often come home from a long day
spent in shopping or at business
and felt that the muscles OF your
face were simply too tired to regis
ter? Even after you rested, those
persistent muscles about your
mouth ached from tiredness. Do
you know this feeling?
Then start tonight with a good
cold cream and the determination
to look younger and feel brighter.
Sit before a mirror, place a bit
Of cold cream upon your finger
tips and start massaging. The
secret is always to make your
motions up and out. You can use
a slightly rotary motion, having
the up.stroke firm one and the
down. stroke very light and sooth-
ing.
You may start with the corners
of your mouth. Let your fingers
firmly stroke upward along the
muscle that runs from the
corners of your mouth up 10
either side OF your nose. You can
feel the pressure Of your fingers
giving tone to the muscle here
which says from overstrain. 1t
is the sagging that has caused 1t
to ache.
Now take a look at the space
between your eyebrows and fur.
ther up on your forhead. II
worry is putting wrinkles here,
pat them gently but firmly with
your cream .moistened finger.tips.
Next, with two fingers Of each
hand, rub upward at the outer
corners OF your eyes. This
soothes and rests them and OBJ
literates those fine wrinkles that
are so annoying.
When you have spent about
ten minutes In this way wash
your face in tepld water, then
rinse It with cold. You will be
pleased with the firmer, smoother
skin that is yours.

"HE old saying tells us that

their best and cheapest.
Ripe apples should be scrubbed
with a vegetable bush. dried and.

pretty fruit dish and serve them
at any meal in place Of the regH

disestible than a pie having
fruit soaked bottom.
The shops are showing some at.
tractive stone pie plates which
may be placed right on the table
after baking. In fact, some Of
them set into an attractive silver
or, plated rim.
To make deep dish apple pie,

sufficient to well fill a deep pie
plate. Sprinkle generously with
sugar, and add a dusting Of Gin.

plate with cold water and cover
with plain pastry, into which has
been cut several gashes. Paint
the crust over with yolk of egg
and water. to give a shiny brown
top when baked.
A simple pie pastry suitable for
pie crust, dumplings and turn.
overs may be made of one meas
uring cup Of pastry flour, one.

The salt Is shifted with the flour
and the shortening chopped in

be used to moisten it to a paste,
Apple sauce should be passed

Baked apples are delicious,
Served with either plain or
whipped cream, they are a luxury,
indeed, save In apple time, when
apples are very cheap.
