sood Health l Essential For
 Good Skin
By JULIA HoYT

III d0OtlCI cuA0 thdb 4 ould give few of my ideas on how to ,quire and retain a good skin. real that my advice on the subject will ot be particularly popular with those ho wish to believe that a good skin 1n be presented to them by others or m be achieved by the mere use of iternal applications.
 There is no royal road to acquiring
 good skin but the road is open to reryone and, as I said before, with comparatively little expense and with 1t spending hours in front of the irror.
 The thing that with almost no ex- ,ption is essential to a good skin is ,od health. I say with almost no ex- ption' because believe it to be true lat ceptain people with tuberculosis ,Ye very lovely complexions owing to rather high color but if one looks osely one can quickly see that it is 3t healthy color. As am discussing general run of people this type of in cannot be included in the general scussion of the skin.
 
 amount of rouge and powder or ap- ications of creams, etc, can help 1t. 1nsequently the first step towards a ,od skin is general physical health. xercise is one of the most important i. ctors in good health. When l say ex- else mean regular daily exercise. It
 no help to exercise violently one day
 the week and do nothing the others. D fact can go further and say it is
 ther harmful.
 Naturally exercise in the fresh air is l, far the best kind. realize in my ~.rsonal experience in rehearsing that
 is often difficult to find time to ak and I know that there are many ,ho have not time in the early morning Id are much too tired after their iy's work to walk sufficient amount
 do them any good. These people, how ger, should without fail, take 15 inutes from their sleep in the morn g and exercise, Don't do this, how CT, in a close room but dress warmly tough to be able to stand in front of open window all during the exercise.
 you start by taking a few very deep .eaths before going into the actual ex- else you will find that the loggy and eepy condition will quickly pass and
 u will feel quite ready to go into your iercises. It may be boring and diff lit at first, but I can safely promise ile improvement in health and very ,on in clearness of your skin will cause ou to feel we'll repaid.
 Next to good health and exercise, eanliness, both internal and external
 of ta fn fha clyi,,
 your digestion is bad or your blood )t in good condition the skin runs up < te first flag or distress. have heard any people complain of the dark dead Ok of their skin, not to mention the 2gtressing detail of blemishes. I have len these same people spending hours hd much money at beauty parlors and
 home in the vain effort to improve fle looks of their skin when if they Fad simply taken the trouble to keep all gans and pores clean a great deal of leir cause for complaint in the looks
 their skin would be cured. It is not
 quick or interesting method as com fred to the method of the bauty parlor, 1t it is certainly logical. It is proved the enormous sale of fake beauty ds that people will always fall for m nises of miracles when they are
 Omjsed ill connection with looks. They Yrget that these miracles have been promised before and have not tran S)ired. Unless we cure the internal iuse of our poor skin no amount of eternal treatment can do any good.
 If the ordinary home methods of in tring good health do not succeed in caring up your skin it is then a good an to go once to the doctor and get s advice on your diet, for the chances e that you are eating some one thing tat you can't digest, or that does not gree with you and takes its vengeance l your skin.
 k Next to internal cleanliness comes kternal. This is immeasurably import ht to a good complexion keep the pres clean and you will have pro- essed good distance on the road to living ga skin you love to touch.' The lee should always be thoroughly geansed in the morning, if possible in ne evening after having been out all .iy, and invariably before going to bed. 10 matter how tired or sleepy one is Wis duty must never be passed over. The best method for this is some pod simple cleansing cream; soap does 5t generally agree with the skin on 1e's face; why this is I do not know 1t it has undoubtedly been proven tue. Some people, think, feel that cam may encourage the growth of air on the face. Undoubtedly there re some creams that do so, but there
 no such danger if one uses a cream ut out by reputable firm of long nnding. There is also no doubt that cam cleanses the face much more loroughly than soap. Just try some " washing your face well with soap 1tl water, then take cleansing cream nd see what the towel looks like on ,moving it.
 If you do not like the feeling of cam alone as a means of cleansing will not do any harm to dash a little pld water over your face or to use 1me simple face lotion after using the cam. It is rather a good plan to ass a piece of ice lightly and not for 10 long time over your face about lcc (certainly not more than twice. week. This tones up the muscles and |3eps the skin firm.
