Hot Weather Treatments.

If you have been using a certain
face treatment successfully ana nave
recently found it is no longer effec-
tive. put it down to the hot weather
and try a new method. These August
days are often hard on the skin, as
they make it look coarse. oily ana
shiny. This is because the heat opens
the pores and stirs up greater activity
in the Oil glands under the skin.
At the same time the August days
are ideal for clearing the skin and
preparing it for Winter Try the FOL
lowing special hot weather treatment;
First Of ALL rub the face and neck
thoroughly with light quality cleans
ing cream. Use q generous amount of
the cream and work it we'll into the
pores Of the skin. Then wiring large
spongy face cloth made of Turkish
toweling out Of hot water. rub good
soapy lather into it and thoroughly
wash the face and neck. By doing
this you open the pores and wash out
not only the cold cream, but all the
oils and dirt in the skin that the
cream has softened and absorbed.
The skin is left clean and dry, but
not too dry.
Follow this by a thorough rinse
with hot water, and IL possible grad
ually cool the water while you rinse
the face. Wipe dry and then you are
ready for the most important part Of
the treatment-the ice rub. Take a
fair sized piece Of ice. roll it for
convenience in an old handkerchief
or bit Of muslin and begin rubbing
the face. Rub 1t over the skin for
from five to ten minutes, then dry the
face and powder. Your cheeks and
chin should be pink, your skin should
glow all over. The ice closes the

What I Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
exceptionally favorable and indicate
phenomenal success for all new ven.
lures and undertakings launched un.
der such auspicious influences. There
Is no special line of work that is
more favored than others. although
all that is in connection with con.
structive effort will probably pan
out better than that of different
nature. You will sense courage, de-
termination, and self Of
which are most important factors In
the attainment Of success. In the
evening the presence Of stimulating
vibrations will be felt. and this will
be an ideal opportunity for the telling
Of 1.-The old, old story"
Children born tomorrow will enjoy,
during infancy. normal health condi.
tions, but this will not relieve par
ents Of the responsibility Of giving
careful supervision to their nutrition
and environment. Just before at.
tanning adulthood, these children are
liable to suffer from the Ill effects OF
an accident, and at about this time
an extra amount Of circumspection
will be necessary. In disposition,
they will be winsome and attractive.
considerate Of others, and always
anxious to please. They will not be
very much addicted to study, but
their pleasing personalities will
sometimes succeed in securing for
them what intelligence gains for
others.
If tomorrow is your birthday. you
are not very loquacious, but on the
occasions when you do talk you are
interesting and convincing. You are
discriminating, shrewd and observing,
a careful student, and a deep thinker.
With all of these qualifications. you
are, however, rather impractical and
more Of a dreamer than doer. You
theorize most Of the time, but very
rarely are able to put many Of your
ideas into execution. You are a re.
liable source Of information to all
those around you. and the lore that
YOU have acquired Is mentally card
indexed" in q very careful manner.
Your temperament is artistic and
musical, and you are rather positive
and fond of having your own way
Your home life is very happy. as you
are loving, faithful and loyal and de,
voted to your family, and these vir'
tues breed corresponding affection
and devotion.
Well known persons born on that
date are: Dudley Saltonstall, nava

how he did try to scramble up! Then
he began slipping again. This time
there was no stopping. Down he
went, and in sliding he brought his
nose against those Barnacles. They
took the skin off. Yes, sir, they took
the skin off the end of Reddy'e
black nose. Wow" he yelled, and
landed down at the bottom with a
thump.
Then Reddy did the most foolish
thing. His skinned nose was sore
He felt sure it would feel better If
he could only get it into water. He
rushed to the nearest little tide pool
and plunged his nose in. Wow" he
yelled. and began dancing about. You
see. that water was salt, and salt
water simply made the skinned nose
smart all the more.
1t was while he was still dancing
around that Graywing the Gull hap
pened along. Graywing alighted on
the very rock from which Redy had
tumbled. whats the matter with
YOU, Neighbor Fox?" he demanded.
Nothing" mumbled Reddy. and
Then Graywine saw Reddy's skinned
nose. "Oh, no" said he. $50 YOU
bumped your nose. That's too bad
Neighbor. It happens that l never
have bumped my nose, but 1 guess
it must hurt"
"Wen, 1 guess that you guess
right" returned Reddy. These are
the toughest rocks that I ever saw
anyway. I don't see what makes
them smooth on top and rough down
below"

you mean the Barnacles growing
there"
"Growing?" exclaimed Reddy. Il

DR.. Alice T. Merrill.

The tropical beauty Of the
Hawaiian Islands is woven through
all the story Of DR.. Alice T. Merrills
life and work. AS q child. she lived
there, learning the spirit Of them as
can only ono who knows them in the
youngest years. Her father was long
the head Of the Kamehamaha School
in Honolulu, and it was to Honolulu
that Miss Merrill went back after
she had taken her first degree
that of Bachelor Of Science at the
University Of California, in agr1cul.
ture, with specialization in soil analy.
sis and plants, under one OF the
greatest Of the soil chemists. For six
months she had worked, following
her graduation, at making soil analy-
ses for the university laboratories,
but that was enough, and she turned
her face again to Oahu.
In Honolulu, for ten years. she
stayed at the United States Agricul'
tural Experiment Station. doing a
work that was most fascinating to
her, and Of great value to the islands.
Analyses Of the Hawaiian soils, and
the fertilizers that they could best
use, were the beginning, and then
came studies of the fruits and nuts
that grew on these soils. She broke
this research long enough to come
over to Columbia for her Masters
degree in 1911, but went back again
as soon as that was done.
The year 1921 brought her family
to the States to live. and Miss Merrill
to Columbia once more. this time for
her doctorate in pure science. Then,
as DR.. Merrill. she took a position
with the Bureau Of Home Economics
here, and began her association with
the Federal Government in this coun-
try.
Her only study Of Importance at
the bureau was on the digestion OF
raw starch by women, comparing 1t
to the results Of similar study made
with men by the bureau some years
earlier. Al the end Of that investl'
cation, the Public Health Laboratory
called her to its staff as chemist:
This was in 1923. and her chemical
assignments since that time have
been widely diverse.
It is probably easier to show TINS
diversity in her work from the list
of her publications that in any other
way. Nearly all of these she has re.
written for publication in chemical

another; woolen articles are separated
from cotton and generally silk from
both. Some laundresses separate the
articles even more particularly. put
ting the large pieces together and
the small ones in another pile. If the
stockings are white they can go in
with the body clothes, especially IL
the washing is done by a washing
machine. Colored ones must be done
separately. White handkerchiefs,
after soaking in cold water, and being
washed little can also go in with
the body clothes. The amount OF
sorting that the colored clothes re-
Quire depends upon what they are
and whether they are known to be
fast colors or not.
Colored Pieces.
When colored things are first
washed there is always the question
OF whether or not the goods will
crock Manufacturers take great
precautions to insure colors being set
fast, but when the tones are deep
and strong there is a likelihood that
the color will run. So individual
sorting Of colored garments is apt to
be done, but this comes just as the
pieces are 10 be washed. Now that
color is so much in evidence in wash
goods, whether in clothing or in
household linens, the matter Of sort
ing the wash assumes larger proper
tons than ever before.
Sorting of Colors.
Sorting according to color Is good
idea when considering these articles.
For instance. blues. pinks, yellows,
black. ETC., do not need separate
water for each piece, but rather one
water for each different color. BY
putting in the delicate tones Of the
color first and then the next deeper
tone after the light ones have been
taken out, and continuing in this way
until the darkest tone comes, one
water will do for one color. What
ever the final color washed, unless 1t
has been brown or a brilliant color.
the black articles can be washed in
the same water after the other things
have been taken out. Black will alb
sorb, without showing other colors.
Black Goods.
Black is the most liable of all colors
to crock. So under no circum-
stances is 1t wise to let even one
black article get in with white or
other colors of clothes.
It may streak garments that touch
1t, and the water will become more or
less murky. and so affect all the
articles. Black wooden articles
washed in solution Of soap bark
and water are considered to come out
particularly well, SO when sorting
garments put black wooden things in
a separate pile.
