BEAUTY CHATS
Hot Weather Compilations.

Any woman can have an attractive
complexion in the winter. for II the
skin is dry it can be rubbed with
cold creams and complex lotions
before powdering. But hot summer
days brings harder problem, for
the heat opens the pores Of the skin
and increases the activity of the oil
glands and the sweat glands. Powder
is thrown off and combines with the
secretions of the skin to form a thin,
sticky film over what should be
cool and perfect complexion. by
modern standards no woman with
shiny face is attractive.
Let me suggest a few remedies. II
the skin is oily all the time during
the hot weather use no cold creams
or lotions of any kind. Once day
wash the face with quite warm water
and powdered oatmeal instead OF
soap. Keep the powdered oatmeal
in a bowl, dip the wet finger tips
into it and rub over your wet race,
particularly around your nose and
chin. Quite bit should be rubbed
in and then rinsed off with first warm
water and then cold. This cleanses
the skin and reduces the tendency
toward excessive oiliness.

What Today Means to You
by MARY BLAKE.
Cancer.

Today's planetary aspects are good
until late in the afternoon and favor
especially all work of a mechanical
character. industrial engineering and
occupations in connection with trans
portation. They counsel energy and
activity in all lines of conservative
endeavor, and full advantage should
be taken of this opportunity to pros
ecute uncompleted tasks to a success
full finish. After S pm. cessation
from work, wherever possible, Is ad-
vised, as at that time the aspects
assume anything but a benign char
acter, and fretfulness and mental
worry will ensue unless decided ef-
forts are made to overcome this con-
dition.
A child born today will enjoy nor
NAL health and give very little wor-
ry. If ordinary care be exercised, on
this score. Its disposition will show
signs of meanness, which must, at
their first inception, be treated with
quick and effective discipline. 1t Will
also show more than the usual signs
of selfshness, and every effort must
be made to instill into it's mind the
pleasure and satisfaction of little
sacrifices for the sake of others hap
piness. With the proper environment
and a good example the inherent de-
fects of this child can be amelio-
rated. even if not absolutely eradi-
Gated.
If today is your birthday, you
would be much happier and dissem-
mate greater contentment If you
were not disposed to stress so much
what others think and say OF you
and your peculiarities-and we all
have some.
You are too much disposed to take
| the ill-natured side and infer the
worst. 1t is very often the case that
the uncharitableness of others, where
1t really exists, is but the reflection
| of our own want of charity and lack
of temper. 1t still oftener happens
that the worry to which you subject
yourself has its source in your own
imagina tion.
Even though those about you NAV
think of you uncharitably, you do
not mend matters by exasperating
yourself against them. You thereby
only expose yourself unnecessarily to
their i'll nature or caprice
1t is easy to miSrepresent the in
tent1ons of people, and they often do
not mean what at the time you sup
posed they meant; it is as gem
eral rule, better to be a little dull
of apprehension when phrases seem
to imply pique. and quick in percep-
uon when, on the contrary, they
seem to imply kindly feeling

THE GUIDE POST

Sincerity.

Nv Henry and Tertius Van Dyke.
Sincerity.
The Scribes and the Pharisees
say, and do not.-Matt., 1925.
The following story comes from the
school of Christian mission station:
A young man who felt it incumbent
upon himself to evangelize his fell
lows, entered the school.
The other boys detected a note of
insincerity in his character which
they revealed to him in the following
way: >.
They organized a plan by which it
was told him that certain smuggled
and outlawed articles could be bought
of a certain firm at a greatly reduced
price
Furnished with a letter to the head
of the firm, who knew nothing of the
plot the young man presented him.
self to inquire about the articles.
You may imagine. the conversation
which ensued and which ended with
good advice from the experienced
man to the misguided youth.
OF course, that ended the efforts of
the insincere evangelist among his
fellows.
His companions, with that justice
pointed out to him the gulf between
his profession and practice.
He was thrown back from the ex-
preston of his egotism, which he
mistook for evangelistic fervor, to
the eternal issue of religion-the
God as the basis of all activity.
Sincerity is the absolute require
ment for influence among men.

Cooking for Two.
MidSl1nner Salads

Midsummer is the season par-excel-
lence for fruit salads. During other
seasons of the year we are accus-
toned to visualize the salads as made
chiefly Of crisp vegetables. but when
the hot days of July and August come
we turn gratefully to the juicy and
refreshing qualities of fruit salad.
There is another advantage Of hav-
ing fruit salad, namely, the fact that
these salads may serve a double pur-
pose and take the place of both the
salad and the dessert courses and
save the housewives time. Moreover,
| not every kitchen has the latest cleo
trical equipment. and we still must
think occasionally of the old time
overheating of the kitchen.
Here are some suggestions for fruit
salads:
Cantaloupe salad-Diced cantaloupe,
two cups; honeydew melon, 1 cup;
French dressing. crisp lettuce.
Mix the diced melon thoroughly
with French dressing and set aside
to chill. In serving use deep salad
bowl, lining this with lettuce leaves.
Arrange the melon in a mound upon
this lettuce bed If desired, arrange
the candied cherry at the top of the
mound and separate the melon into
ries, letting these meet at the top of
the mound.
Midsummer fruit salad-Peaches,
four; purple plums, eight; French
dressing, crisp lettuce.
Arrange the lettuce on a fiat dish
and the fruit in circles on the let
tuce. For the inner circles arrange
the tiny mound of sliced peaches. For
the next circle outward use diced
pears, and for the next circle plums.
Continue this arrangement until the
platter shows only an outer fringe of
the lettuce.
Grape salad-Arrange a-bit of let
tuce and pile on this a mound of
white grapes. diced celery and sliced
pineapple. Serve with mayonnaise.
Black cherry salad-Remove the
pits from black cherries and stuff
each with cream cheese. Arrange in
the center slices of canned pineap-
pie and serve with French dressing
on crisp lettuce
In preparing salad dressing for
fruit salads French dressing is usu-
ally best, as this helps to bring out
the flavor of the fruit A heavy
| mayonnaise or cooked dressing is too
rich.
1t is advisable to use lemon Juice
instead of vinegar in preparing dress
ingS for summer salads.

Nutrition Nuggets

Persons suffering from constipa-
tion will find that glass Of water
with orange, lemon or other fruit
juice would help in fighting consti
patton, if taken an hour before break
fast.
1t is advisable to study ones own
digestive system sufficiently to be as
sured of the following points: ID
Whether fatty foods need to be cut
down. (2) Whether starchy foods
ferment easily. CD Whether bulky
foods cause irritation. Digestions
supposedly normal may have diff
Guilty with any one of the above.
Among the foods that are helpful in
insuring good teeth we find tomatoes,
potatoes, cabbage, yellow turnip,
oranges and lemon juice. Milk is also
important in this connection, and SO
are whole-grain cereals.
Remember that rest and sunlight
are just as important for the growth
of children as food. In fact, the best
of food eaten while the child is over
exercising and deprived of the proper
amount of sunlight will fail to nour-
iSh him completely
If you sit at a desk all day do not
imagine that the brain work" you do
makes d large quantity of food neces-
sary. Adequate food you must have,
but in excess may make you actually
ill., especially if you do not take suffi-
cient exercise. A vigorous walk
taken systematically will do wonders
TO keep you in health.
Children of the school age from
eight to twelve should have their
chief meal served at noon, with a SIM
pie supper at night. Boys and girls
from twelve to twenty may have the
dinner at night if necessary.
We do not always realize that we
may increase the actual nutrition of
the body by wearing suitable cloth
ing. The lighter-weight clothing
worn in summer contributes directly
to the assimilating powers and, there
fore. to good health.
In estimating the cost of a food do
not forget to take into consideration
the cost of raising this food and of
transporting it. The time of the
housewife in preparation should also
be reckoned. Referring to the first
point, this is one good reason for not
indulging frequently in foods out of
season and delicacies from a distance
