| MARY MEREDITH'S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME

TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
I'm coming to you for a little ad-
wise. But not about boys. [ am
girl twenty years old and am five
feet, two inches height; weigh 1875
pounds, and have sallow complexion.
I want to know what is best for bad
skin. l have pimples and blackheads
on my face. 1 have used pounds
of extract cream, but nothing I use
seems to do them any good. Your
advice will be appreciated.
Sign my name
BABY IN THE WOODS.
Suppose you do as I prescribe for
two months, regardless of incon-
Venience or trouble. Rule. No. l.
go to bed before 10 o'clock at night;
arise between 6 and in the morn
ing; dress in warm bathrobe or coat;
go out on porch and breathe deeply
twenty times, keeping mouth closed,
and breathe through noStrilS; bend
body at hips touching ground with
finger tips; breathe before each bend
twenty times. Rule 2-Bathe face,
neck, arms and chest in cold water;
mop dry, don't rub; slap flesh to cir
culate blood; drink two glasses OF
hot water; wait half hour, eat light
breakfast, oat meal, SteWed, baked
or fresh fruit, coffee without cream
and little sugar; keep away from
sugar and grease; eat green veg
etables for lunch or supper; drink a
glass of water each hour during the
day; don't overload stomach with
food; battle face in hot water at
night before retiring; use either pure
CASTLE soap or Woodbury's lather
soap, rub well into face with finger
tips; rinse face in three waters same
temperature; lastly cold water. Then
use Kinds honey and almond cream
to soften and Whiten the skin. See
that your system is cleansed OF
waste matter-a good laxatlVe-caS-
cara tablets, one each night, or a
dose of Nupoil, night and morning
will help wonderfully.
Am coming to you for a bit Of in
formation, also, to the many Journal
readers If anyone knows by expert
ence, whether the "Gearhart" 4
Auto knitters, either, is a success,
and what they're advertised to be;
and do the companies stand by their
agreement to take the socks knitted
on their machines and furnish re-
placement yarn, to keep you knit
ting, paying a fixed price for each
dozen pair sent them?
Any information given will be
greatly appreciated.
MRS. CORA JACKSON.
I cannot answer your question
through this column, in regard to
auto knitters. My advice is this:
write to the company direct, find
out from them what you desire to
know. I'm sure they will gladly
furnish you with full information,
at the same time stick by what they
advertise in the papers and maya
zines.
The letter Anxious Mother"
wrote expressed my feelings exactly.
I am anxious to do something to
help out. We have lall children,
also small salary, and find it very
hard to make both ends meet"
believe 1 could make nice cakes, but
I KNOW L can make nice ginger
cookies, if you know f any place
/ could sell them to make a profit.
In other words, is there any de-
mand for cookies in the big stores
or anywhere that you know of? If
. SO, please lGI IIlS hllOW Ill OuolA SONA
columns, if not per- ally.
"HOPEFUL MOTHER"
At present there are many men
and women out of employment in
Atlanta, and people are begging for
work. Meetings in churches have
been held for the more fortunate
ones to get together to do something
to relieve the situation. Therefore,
1 am unable at present to give any
assistance. A committee of ladies
got together recently to figure out
ways and means to help the won
an or man on the farm"-to see il
what they can produce can be sold
here-freight, express, parcel post,
taken into consideration-to run an
exchange for farm produce. Jellies,
| cakes, cookies, sewing and fancy
work, sold at percentage to pay
for help only-no profiteering for
those connected with the exchange.
| This will be the greatest and about
the only way to aid the "stay at
home!' In the meantime, 1 have
done my bit toward getting the city
people interested, and hope to have
good news soon. I'm still on the job
