KEEPING THE
SKIN CLEAR
BY Brice Belden, M. d.

vt has been said that the skin
is page upon which are
- written the sins of the d.
gestive and eliminative systems.
There Is a great deal Of truth in
this statement. The only wonder
Is that it does not more often
bear definite witness to disor-
dered internal conditions.
However,, 1t is not very often
that a perfectly clear complexion
Is seen. Pimples, blotches. rough
areas, liver spots, muddiness and
sallowness are all too common.
In their efforts to clear up
these unsightly skin conditions,
usually so eloquent" Of bad per-
sonal hygiene, people seldom get
at the real cause Of the trouble.
Too often they limit their efforts
to the local conditions instead Of
tackling systematic difficulties.
If the liver, kidneys and other
eliminative organs Of the body
fail to oxidize. neutralize or
otherwise get rid Of waste prod.
ucts, these morbid elements en-
ter the blood stream and polute
and disorder all the tissues with
which they come in contact.
The cells lining the arteries
are irritated and this irritation,
II long continued, leads to def
mite disease of the blood vessels.
The nervous system Is irritated

suit, The liver gives evidence OF
similar irritation,
The skin participates In this
pathological process, Hence the

skin is so extensive and has such
a rich blood supply that it is
easily irritated and inflamed from
internal poisens.
Sallowness, muddiness and the,
so-called Liver spots" are aEsO-
ciated with insufficiency of tho

tint which physicians recognize
very readily, and which becomes
more marked in proportion as

The day before the memorable
Thanksgiving football game in
which he had participated, the
varsity eleven had come across
the bay and been quartered at
the Lick House, and for this
reason Philip chose that hosiery
as his transient abode. The Lick
House, even in the late nineties,
was an old-fashioned hotel with
high ceilings, stone tagging and
echoing corridors. Most Of its
material and furnishings had been
brought around the Horn in the
hold of sailing vessels, but the
gaunt caravansary was to, Philip

RICH CHILD AND POOR
THE LATTER OFTEN BETTER CARED FOR

sumably will in time enter the
employed classes-it is not such
conditions which best justify IL
play center for children; it is
their human nature and their
human needs. But the children
of the rich and the children OF
the poor are precisely alike in
respect to this fundamental mat
ter in inheritance and human
nature.
I find a similar situation in
many modest homes as compared
with the wealthy homes. More
frequently the former is supply
ing in crude way the basic
needs of child life for rigorous
play and something light to do,
while so many of the weather.
homes are apparently trying to
make money and rich convent
ence take the place of exercises
and childish achievement.
1t is the modest things rightly
applied which count for most.
There is no substitute for healthy
outdoor exercise in the sun, In
the soil, in the stream, IN the
woodland. The best we can do
where congested city conditions
partly shut these off is to supply
the human need with modest
situations, as stated above.
For the men and women to be,

stances Of these fundamentals.
1t is not an expense of money,
But one of thought effort, which
will bring the biggest returns.

Wells Of vapor stealthily crept

Philip filled his lungs with the
