Some I Hints For
 raivlEssling In 5 Summer

< A UGUST and September are the "A banner recreation months. Many
 of my readers will be taking a trip, the consummation of which has been long planned and eagerly awaited 4 but you also wisely considering your health and beauty needs? N Ones health should receive first consideration, and unless a journey is being made for health alone, or to some health resort, it should not be under taken until the physical condition is such that the object of travelling ness, education Or pleasure-can be fully accomplished. Dven so, the system should be fortified, that the possibility Of even temporary indisposition may be. reduced to a minimum.
 Several days or week before, all foods that are difficult of digestion and assimilation should be reduced, or even cut out of the diet, and this confined to bland substances that nourish without taxing the alimentafE tract \
 Tea, coffee and alcoholic beverages should be eliminated, as they have tendency to make one nervous. Every morning on arising the stomach should be flushed out with pint of very hot water, 20 hot that it must be slipped with a spoon; into the last half of this, which by the time it has been reached is sufficiently cooled, heaping teaspoonful or more of efferyescent sodium phosphate should be added, and the drink swallowed while it is fairly hot this for it's action on the liver.
 Visits to the dentist, the oculist, and the humble chirop0dist are in order. If one wishes to beitfree from physical Arrangements arising from neglect of these highly important matters, they must not be overlooked.
 ! No journey can be- enjoyed if the feet have not been subjected to the most scFupulous care. Corns, callosities and bunions are absolute hinderances to bodily comfort and mental ease and should preferably be removed by a pro- fessional, as this insuEes greater length of freedom from foot troubles of this kind.
 The feet show the, effects of changes in temperature, they are barometers of ones physical condition; when travelling in hot cars, or after being seated for hours in a cramped position, they be- rome engorged with the impeded circu- lation and So require special fore thought. AS
 First: Shoes should be worn that can be adjusted to the changes in the size of the feet-shOes that fit the feet an- atomically, for these willing members have troubles of their own without the torture of inappropriate footwear. :
 Second: Foot powders are of serv- ice at all times, but far more so under the trying conditions sometimes met in travelling. The following is q most sat- isfactory antiseptic powder; it is espe- ciaIly recommended for tender, tired and swollen feet. Salicyylic acid, 1 dram zinc oleate, 1 dram; boric acid, 10 drams talcum, twelve drains; oil of eucalyptus, 1Ia dram. ts.s
 Bobbed hair has removed one Of our most trying difficulties, especially when bn the wing. But we are not all bobbed, and few of Us are blessed with fluffy hair. That (which contains q natural wave is always enviable and at no time more so than when travel ing. If you can afford a permanent wave, indulge in it now, and relief and freedom experienced will more than re- hay the outlay. If need be, economiZe in something else.
 : Do not forget a liberal supply of cleansing cream. It is the only agent that effectually removes train grime and keeps the skin in good condition hs well. The following fine cleans ing cream is also -nourishing to the tissues, and therefore excellent to take on tour: Orange flower water, four ounces white wax, two ounces; almond oil, four ounces.
 Train sickness is very similar to seasickness and these highly unpleasant conditions are frequently induced by eye strain. Great care must be taken of the digestion, as overeating, rich foods, or foods that are difficult for the salimentary tract to handle are hound to create billiousness, reflex headaches, and the like, that not only play hovoc with one's physical well be- ing, but utterly destroy any good looks one possesses. .''
 Nothing imaginable is so foriorn and distressing to look npon as a dis heyeled woman travelling in the throes of a bilious attack. And-there is very little excuse for 1t.
 Aromatic spirits of ammonia or a strong draft of bromo-seltzer may exercise a sedative effect upon an in- c;pient attack of this sort. Some are quickly relieved by means of smelling salts, or the use of headache cologne 1;
