HOW ID GIVE YOURSELF 4 PERFECT MASSAGE
 AT HOME EASILY NOW Beauty Expert Gives Sim pie Way to Keep the
 Face Lovely and
 Cheeks Rosy

The impression you make at the party dance or when you meet new acquaintances depends almost en- tirely upon your complexion. Most any fault IS overcome by a clear, rosy, pleasing and overwhelming complexion. Therefore follow this ad- vice and benefit by the experience of thousands of girls and women who are doing it.
 First, clean your skin thoroughly by using Black and White Cleansing cream. When all the powder and ac- cumulated dirt has been rubbed out, wiring out a towel in water as hot as your hands can stand. Put this over the face and let it steam for a few seconds. Repeat this c3Vcral times. Then rub into the skin a little cold cream with circular motion of the finger tips. Wipe off that which is not so quickly absorbed by the pores, and rinse the face with cold water. This closes the pores, keeps in all the oils which the cold cream supplies to the skin. and starts the circulation in your face which brings out the roses in your cheeks.
 Now use a little Black and White peroxide cream as protection for just what you have done and as for a base for your powder. Get your looking glass and see what a lovely, youthful and charming complexion you have and you didn't have to go to an expensive beauty parlor, or take up near so much of your time as some women do who use expensive treatments, but do not get any bet ter results than you will Eere

out the children adding their pitt tance. Revived ambition in the home has sent to nigh schools, acad- emies, preparatory schools and col leges thousands who, in our wet years. lacked the means or the en- couragement to study. of both.
 In the factory. the counting room. the store: in the mines. on the farms. In the great open spaces; in the home, in the scnoo1 room. in the church. there is great. quiet. re- sistless force in motion that is lift ing America to a place of unchal- langed leadership of the world.
 The uncertainty is not whether na- tional prohibition shall become an American institution. That is all ready decided. It is how rapidly America shall move toward universal observance of principle that has been written into her charter, and through this to a civilization that inevitably will set a new mark in human attainment.
 That is my cop~.ction. It cannot fail to be the conviction of every serious-minded American who will study the facts and figures as they come in from every state. city and village of the land.
 There are obstacles. Many of them have been passed. Some of them re- main.
 To examine so'ne of them. Co incl cate the way across and to eaten a glimpse at least of what lies be- yond will be my purpose in the auc. ceeding chapters.
