Dill Pickles,

Every old garden had its. bed Of
dill, and now that so many women
are cufttvating old-fashioned gardens
why not include this fragrant old
timey herb?
Dill can be dried and used during
the winter months when greens are
scarce. in plain salads. egg salads
and with creamed fish. Let stand in
cold water TO freshen it for winter
use in salads.
Sand nearly everyone likes the tang
of dill in pickles with weiner or club
sandwiches.
sDill pickles are usually made OF
cucumbers from three to four inches
long. The cueumbers can be put into
the brine as gathered, a few at a
time, until the crock containing
them is full. Then cover with grape
leaves to keep crisp and take care
of any top spoilage.

GIRLS WITK BAD
 COMPILATIONS ARE
 PROMISED SURPRISE
Like a leaf from fiction comes a story of facts which will delight
 every woman.

Judping by the many voluntary ex- pressions of satisfaction girls and women all over this country are making apout the Beauty Creations sold under the Black end White label these truly wonderful creations are doing more real good to cor rect bad complications and to satisfy women in their desire to keep their appearance fresh and cheerful than anything yet dis covered.
 great many women who have tried different kinds of treatments for such dis- tressing face imperfections as blackheads, rough and dscolored skin, are finding Black and White Cleansing Cream so un- usual and much more satisfying that its sale, together with other Black and White Beauty Creations. has passed the eight million packages a year mark in only a little more than four years time.
 This proves the contention which au- thorities on skin and beauty have main- fained for years, that it is possible to re- gain and keep that clear and pleasing com plexion of youth if only the proper com bination of cleansing and beautifying ele- ments could be produced to overcome the bad effects which exposure, irritation and the use of questionable cosmetics do to the most delicate and important part of the body.
 Since Black and White Cleansing Cream has worked such almost miraculous changes in clearing and beautifying the complexions of so many thousands of women and girls, it seems that the long sought for method of correcting bad con- plexions has been found at last.
 Important: After putting the skin in . healthy condition by using Black and White Cleansing Cream. do not make the mistake of using just any powder and cream The makers of Black and White have provided Peroxide Cream and Face Powder which you can use safely to en- nance the beauty of the skin without chancing any further trouble or having that "pasty' or made up" appearance.
