MINOR BLEMISHES
EASILY
BANISHED
EASILY
BY Maria Jeritza-

These experts often accomplish
quite marvellous Improvement in
the contour Of the nose. and this
reshaping tends not only to In.
crease its loneliness, but by ban.
ishing self-consciousness adds to
the charm and happiness Of its
possessor.
However, quite aside from the
graver problems I have touched
on are minor blemishes- Of the
nose that can easily be banished
by means Of persistent common
sense measures.
BIackheads. Tor instance-thcse
ugly little flaws-are wont to
make their appearance about the
nose and chin OF the woman with
a slightly oily skin. The encour-
aging thing about blaclxheads. is
that they positively can be pre-
vented by persistent, fastidious
attention to the cleanliness Of
the skin.
A blackhead is caused by q
tiny grain Of dust or dirt lodging
in a pore and mingling there
with perspiration and other nat
ural discharges Of the skin. In
case the skin is not SO thorough
ly clcansed as to remove both
dust and perspiration this tiny
black spot in the skin becomes
inbedded in oily discharge.
OF course, the primary cause
Of blackheads - over-oiliness of
the slin--should be considered
first Of all. Eat less OF greasy
food and sweets and rich food Of
all descriptions. and far more
green vegetables ana salads.
Make this change in your diet
permanent, not merely spas
modic. In time you viii be de-
lighted to find that your skin
Is growing less oily. Exercise
faithfully each day-outdoors, If
possible.
In addition, cleanse your skin
more thoroughly. Soap and
warm water In the morning are
not enough. A thorough cleansing
with cold cream each night be-
fore retiring is also essential.
When tho cold cream is removed
it should be followed by a spong.
ing with S5 per cent alcohol or
witchhazel on bit Of absorbent
cotton. Occasionally, IL your
skin does not absorb all Of this
cold cream, use warm water in
stead with which q few drops Of
witchhazel have been mingled.
Use powder on your nose with
discretion. Apply It with spot
less puff and dust It in. Do not
rub powder in forcibly, as So
many women do.
Finally, let us consider that
bane Of the summer girl, a shiny
nose. This also Is the result Of
an over-oily skin. and 80 exer-
else and a fruit and vegetable
diet will help to reduce the OBJ
jectionaole shine.
Here is simple lotion that
can safely be applied twice a day
or oftener to a shiny nose:
Rosewater. 5h ounces; IS per
cent alcohol V ounce; boric
acid, V dram.
This lotion will prove refresh
ing and cooling on q warm sum
mer's day, and It should add to
the loneliness Of your nose by
removing the Objectionable shine
that looks 60 hot and unattrac-
tive.

Walking Into Police
Arms Boy Drops
Belief in Signs

David Wilbur Smith, thirteen,
no longer believes in signs.
Smith, who escaped from Pro-
baton Officer ]. F. Leslie, of
Leesburg, Va, Tuesday, had
been wandering about Washing
ton, existing on paltry contribu-
tions of men he approached on
the street.
Last night Smith walked by a
red brick building at Fifth and
E streets southeast. On the
door was tackled a placard:
"Help the Salvation Army" Be-
lieving it to be the place of
refuge, Smith walked in and
asked for lodging.
But instead of smiling Sallies
the youth found himself con-
fronted by broad-grinning police
men of the Fifth precinct sta
ton. He was sent to the House
of Detention.
