HARDWICK APPROVES
SUBSTITUTE RULE z.
After Conference With Prison
Commission Puts o. K. on
Discipline Measure

ATLANTA, April Am amend
ed substitute for rule u of prison
rules for Georgia was approved today
by Governor Hardwick after a conA
ference with members of the pfiso1
commission. p
The changes made by the commits
sion in the proposed rule include the
elimination of the clause. permitting
the convic'st hands from being fas-
tened over his head while he is
shaekefed in an upright position and
the restriction Of other modes of
punishment.
The substitute rule providing for
Stacking men with their hands
above their heads and standing them
up for hours at tine, and leaving
it optional with the county wardens
to provide such other punishment as
they might deem proper, would have
tendency to result in punishment
more cruel than the lash, in the opin-
ion of the. governor. He had z good
deal to say about the proposed rule
and the method Of its recommends
ton when he finally passed on the
plan.

woman of so should be, and in Paris I
have seen grandmOthers with ravish-
ing skins.
AS you know, the skin is composed
Of layers of cells with little blood YES
sells, nerves and glands whose ducts
lead to the surface and eliminating in
pores.
Natural Skin Food
Every cell should contain a certain
amount OF moisture as this is the nat.
ura1 skin food with which the tissues
are kept soft and supple. If anything
internal or external interferes with
this moisture the skin is robbed of It's
nourishment and dryness ensues and
lines follow.
A dry skin is caused by impover-
ished blood, nervousness or sometimes
by climatic conditions.
For a dry skin I suggest the fol
lowing treatment each night: First,
cleanse the skin thoroughly with cold
cream. Leave this on for a few
moments so it may soften the sur
face and draw from the pores any
impurities they may harbor. Then
when you have removed the cream,
press in a mild skin stimulant with
the fingers or with warm congresses.
Then pat in and massage with a rich
skin food, using sweeping movements
covering both face and throat.
Dry Skin Irritable
I do not approve Of water for the
dry skin or do 1 advocate using moth
ing but cream for cleansing. My
reason is that the dry skin is always
irritable, and unless some cooling
liquid is used it will become over
heated and develop a tendency to
blotchiness.
The ideal method Of cleansing the
tender skin is TO use a cream night
and morning and at all other times
non-drying but slightly astringent
tonic. This tones the tissues which
might be inclined to fabbiness and
helps you preserve your contour and
maintain the firmness as well as the
freshness of your face.
