One of my readers has asked mes
II IL is possible to give ones own
face facial and if so, how it should
be done. If any other readers have
been wondering about the same Prob
lem, they also will be interested in
knowing that it most certainly can be
done. Here's how!
Before beginning, the face must be
thoroughly cleansed with soap and
Wate6 or with hot towels. Omit the
cold rlnsing water, so that the pores
will remain open for the treatment.
The object Of the facial is to induce
a acopious flow eff blood and to keep
the flesh firm and the skin unlined,
so a firm, light touch is best. Facial
massage must always be done with
an upward movement, to prevent sag
ging.
Never apply the cream in Jumps.
Warm it first Apply a goodly guam
tlty. Begin to massage at the corn
efs Of the eyes Start with a light,
but firm circling movement, where
The laughing wrinkles come. Use the
lorefmgers of each hand. Use this
movement to rub in the cream-and
then stroke the wrinkles upward and
outward.
Use a slow. steady pressure, and an
outward stroke under the eyes, and
follcw the eye out beyond the temples.
If the forehead wrinkles are per
pendicular and between the eye brows
massage the lines upward and out
ward with the fingers. For the fore
head wrinkles, use a circular move
ment.
/. Gently pinch the lines about the
mouth as you massage with an up
ward stroke, taking care, however,
that you do not stretch the skin. Use
only the stroking movement after the
pinching. The upward stroke move
ment may be used in massaging from
chin to temple to eradicate the fine
little lines that come in the skin with
increasing years.
Finish with a dash of warm water
then cold water. Ice may be used
to close the pores.
Massage is a great beautifier, but
an occasional treatment is practically

Things You Should Know
REST.

Rest is in no way related to Lag
ness. One cannot be said to rest
unless weary. Rest is the antidote
for intensive action; it is our best
reconstructive, and, like most val
tables, should be earned to be en-
joyed.
There is no equal for rest in the
restoration Of tired nerves or fag-
ging energies. Medicines are poor
substitutes for rest, if indeed they
are substitutes at all. Often have
recalled the prescription of the
meek and lowly Nazarene, when he
beheld the tempest raging and
said, "Peace; be STILL" When the
nerves are taxed to the uttermost,
sleep impossible, the mind, urged
beyond its capability, totters on its
throne, then rest-rest-unless
rest is secured disaster is immin-
ent. The well-ordered man will
not permit anything to disturb his
rest hour.
In these hurry-skurry days we
seem to forget that rest is an es-
sential to human life and happi-
ness. We forget that a WORKOUT
mind is even worse than a worm
out body, as we swing in our
swivel-chairs and order a "bromo"
for the headache. What rebels we
are, turning night into day and
day into default! We ignore the
law of rest and wonder why we do
not feel well.
Some very ignorant, unthinking
people seek stimulants when tired.
This puts off the crisis for a time,
but not for long. No breakdown
comes without warning in time. We
should heed the call of rest, even
though it is only whisper. To
evade it is to hear at some critical
time the shout Of outraged Nature
"Fool, take thy penalty fully
earned!"

OUT OF DOORS.

It is not enough to believe in
outdoor exercise,-it must be put
into practice, if we would energize
the physical being to make it cap
able for well-directed mental effort.
Too many elderly people abandon
all physical exertion, the only
method of preserving their agility,
which is all the worse because in
dolent habits hasten dreaded dis
aster which is failure of the body
to perform its reasonable duties.
One of the greatest blessings
within our reach costs the least. ,
The great outdoors is free and it
is poor economy to purchase fin
ancial supremacy with shortened
life.
This is the season of Vacations,
in which the outdoors may be
sought with comfort and without
danger Of exposure. If you dis
like golf, try the fishing trip. A
little dirt on you is a blessing in
disguise-thc delight of washing it
off has the special virtue of being
great for health. Sunshine is the
best of liniments for the pores; to
breathe through the skin is a priv
ilege fraught with reward for the
"hide-bound" sinner. A good coat
of tan is a good offset for winter
fan-tods. Climbing a barb-wire
fence or a rail fence for that
matter, is depriving the doctor of
his visit, while as an appetizer
there is none better.
When you arrive at the age that
one, three, or five years may roll
around and find you checked OUT
you will wish you had not neglect
ed the outdoor exercise-now to
late to perform. A tubby figure is
built by too little exertion physical
", and, oh, what a menace!
