BEAUTY CHATS
Freckles.

! Some people are doomed to freckles.
! If you have much iron in your blood
/ you cannot escape the results of a hot
sun unless you take almost impossible
precautions. But we expect freckles
| with red hair just as we expect a fair
| skin and blue eyes, and few people OBJ
| Ject to them any more. OF course, too
many freckles aren't pretty-but some
| are inevitable.
| The best remedy is precaution.
| Wear shady hats with dark brims, use
| plenty of powder: on very hot days
use vanishing cream under the pow
der. Use ordinary cold cream before
| going in sea bathing, the cold water
! will help keep the cream in the skin,
| though not much will be left when
| the swim is over. Don't lie out in the
sun to dry and expect not to freckle,
| though.
Try such ordinary remedies as but
| termilk, which is a good skin bleach if
! rubbed on and left on to dry for half
| an hour or so. Slice cuCumberS thin,
| steep with very little water until
soft, squeeze through a sieve. Eight
to ten drops of tincture of benZoin to
an eiGht-ounce bottle will keep this
mixture fresh and sweet. Rub into
| the skin after exposure to the sun and
| let it dry on for several minutes.
Equal parts of lemon or cucumber
| juice, glycerine and rose water make a
good general bleach. For obstinate
| freckles there are stronger things to
| be painted only on the freckles and
not on the rest of the skin. Your doc
tor will give you a prescription if your
freckles are really very bad. Massage
| with cold cream helps to scatter"
| them because ii stimulates the skin.
Lemon juice by itself is also very
good.

Not Improved.

In a large public hospital conducted
on old fashioned lines there was
simplified system of records under
which patients could elect one OF four
possible destinies, to wit, improved,
not improved, passed over, or alb
seconded. If the interns proposed some
operation the patient either improved
or absconded. If one of the attend
ing surgeons insisted on doing the
operation himself the final entry was
either not improved or passed over.
Public health in this country today
as compared with the public health
20 years ago, is certainly improved.
We have enjoyed great progress in
the conservation of public health, for
example, the conquest of typhoid
fever. a disease which prevailed reg
ularly every Autumn 20 years ago. but
which is now becoming almost
all or nearly all of the progress we
have made in public health conserva-
ton we must thank the public health
authorities, through whose activities
the Improvement has been brought
about. 1t Is in no degree attributable
to any activities of our own as in
dividuals The benefits of public
health betterment come to one and
all irrespective of individual health
habits, personal hygiene or personal
beliefs or theories about health.
Personal health betterment, as it
seems to me, is not improved. BY that
I mean we appear to stand practically
where we stood 90 years ago so far
as our personal health betterment is
concerned. IF we have made a gain
in one direction. as, for example, in
the conservation of our teeth. we have
lost ground in some other direction.
as, for example, the extinction Of the
health saving habit of walking. 50
that little if any real progress is being
made in the field of personal health
building, or at best personal health
lags far behind public health. The
reason for this Indifference. l think
is simply the difference between ac-

secondary concern of the public health

not accomplish much. and besides he
is seldom qualified or competent to

lie health affairs.
Advertising is education, be it for
better or for worse. Most of the ad-
vertising touching upon personal
health matters seems to me bad edu-
cation, for it conveys unsound. untrue
or unsafe ideas to the untutored lay
man. We must remember that the
charlatans the nostrum mongers were
first in the field and their motive was
bad to begin with. Then the food
manipulators got into the health
game. next the clothing people took
it up, and finally the whole line of
makers and purveyors of household

of every vendor of merchandise, from

Little Mrs. Red-eye the Vireo felt

she discovered a strange baby left on
her doorstep. To be sure that egg
wasn't a strange baby, but unless
there was some way of getting rid
of it it would be d strange baby by

three beautiful eggs which were really
her own should be deserted. She
really thought of doing this very
thing. Yes, sir, she did 80.
But there had been so much hard
work put into the building of that
dainty nest, and it was so exactly the
home she wanted, that somehow she
couldn't make up her mind to leave

eggs. OF course, she could hatch out

mean an extra baby to feed. Mrs.
Red-eye was SOrely tempted to drive
her bill into that egg and break it
right away. But that would spoil her
nest.
She tried to pick up that egg, but

poke it out of the nest with her bill.
but the nest was just a little bit too
deep. Though she tried and tried
she didn't succeed. Finally she gave
up trying. Perhaps her own eggs
would hatch out first. and then she
wouldn't have to sit on that unwel-
come egg and hatch it out. SO with
a sigh little Mrs Red-eye resumed
her household duties.
The next morning she had a fourth
egg of her own in the nest, and now
the nest was rather crowded. That
big, unwelcome egg left there by Sally
Sly the Cowbird took up altogether
too much room. 1t made Mrs. Red
eye uncomfortable. She shifted about,

1927 D. c. TAX RATE
RESTS ON CONGRESS
Commissioners Say Action
Regarding Lump Sum Will
Govern Levy.

In considering the plea of the Wash

to keeping the tax rate for that year
from rising above the present rate of
$1.70, District officials pointed out to.
day that the tax rate for 1927 will de-
pend largely upon what the next Con-
gress decides to do with regard to the
Federal Government share of Ma
tional Capital upkeep.
The Commissioners intend 1t is un.
derstood, to advocate a return to the
S0.40 plan of dividing the cost of main
tanning the Capital City between the
Federal and District Governments.
If they should be unsuccessful in
having this done. it is said TO be their
hope that the temporary annual lump
sum contribution of the United States
may be increased from $4,000, 900 TO
at least 10000 900.
To Urge Joint Commission.
The city heads also are in favor Of
the proposal that has been under dis
cussion for some time past that Con
gress should at the next session name
a Joint commission to determine what
would be a fair fixed ratio on which
to divide the annual expense of main
tanning the District.
The Commissioners today expressed
appreciation of the careful study
given to the needs of the city next
year and said they would give care
full consideration to the suggestions
made.
Commissioner Rudolph said it IS
practically impossible at this time to
discuss what the tax rate for 1927
is likely to be.
While the city heads have gone
over the recommendations of de-
partment heads once and directed
that a number of cuts be made of
non essential items, they will go
through the preliminary estimates
again before they will know the total
amount they are to recommend 10
