Of skin creams and loti5ns. Some Of
these cosmetics contain substances
harmful to the skin.
Cosmetics, as ordinarily used, tend
to clog the pores or irritate the skin
and thus are likely to interfere with
the normal. healthy action Of that
organ.
Instead Of hiding blemishes Of the
skin. it is much better to remove
these blemishes by improving the
texture Of the skin. A simple. remedy
is bathing the face in a lotion Of

To the Editor n The Times
I saw an old farmer walking down
the street the other day and every.
body laughed at him because he looked
"rube-ish. He was an odd sight. but
surely those people could have sup
pressed their mirth If they had only
tried.
Indianapolis is the center Of the rich
est farming community in all the
world. 1t depends on the farms. to a
great extent, for its prosperity and
on the farmers living in the vicinity
for its food and export. The funniest
