You re LOUeliest When HenItl,iest

Whether you are old or young,
you cannot afford to let this day
go by without deriving the utmost
OF beauty which it can bequeath
you.
Beauty is from the inside out,
and depends primarily on thinking
constructive, serene thoughts.
Eliminate worry and anger
from your thoughts. While your
mind is serene, your face rests,
and you preserve the smoothness
of your complexion unmarried by
wrinkles. Anger and worry gen.
crate poisons in the system which
will in time undermine both health
and beauty.
Beauty cannot be gained over
night by any quick medicine or
magic. It is a case Of slow
growth, little cell by little cell.
If YOU would make the most
Of the loneliness Of youth, and
see your youthful prettiness and
grace grow and deepen day by
day, year by year, into mature
charm. fascination and beauty,
think calmly, kindly, clearly and
take sensible care of your health.
In addition you'll have to learn
to bring out the best of yourself
in your couture, your dress and
grooming.
Eat regular meals of simple
food. including fruit and Vege-
tables. exercise, battle daily, get
out in the open each day, sleep
your eight or nine hours nightly
in q cool. dark, quiet, well-venti-
lated room. take an interest in
YOUR work and play, and you
will bring out your good looks
and improve them.
young people are those who
have a good time" explained a
certain little girl when she re.
ferred to a seVenty-year-old
friend as a young man." A
good humor and disposition. and
an interest in and enjoyment of
good will Danish many ills and
prolong youth.
Each age has it's own type of
beauty. For Miss Eighteen to
make up her face into a hard
mask and initiate the hard
sophistication she imagines will
suggest experienced charm is as
ridiculous as for Mrs. Fifty to
dive her hair and paint her face
into an ingenue mask. Accept
the loneliness that goes with

most of it. In this philosophy

The attack is usually preceded

In this connection, recent OBJ

troubles Of various internal
