BEAUTY CHATS

would not go so far as to say that
the old-fashioned remedies are always
the best, but some of them are very
good. One of the best skin bleaches.
for instance. is the greats t-grandmothe
remedy of starch paste.
Starch is a powerful bleach. 1t is
particularly good to use on the skin
after exposure to the sun for that first
light-red stage of sunburn. You take
lump of ordinary laundry starch.
dissolve it in enough cold water to
make a paste and spread this over
the skin. If you have been using
powder or rouge. wash these off with
warm water, for the starch must have
clean skin to act on.
If you are using the starch bleach
for sunburn, fairly thin paste will
do, and it need not stay on more than
half an hour. But if you are using
1t for freckleS, make the paste thicker,
at least apply it more thickly over the
freckled part of the skin and, if pos
sible, let it stay on longer. If you are
using starch paste for blackheads or
for very coarse pores, first wash with
hot water to relax the skin. then take
the paste, having made it fairly thick,
and rub 1t into the skin. Keep on
rubbing; you can use surprising
amount of it. If the skin has been
very bad, wash off the first applica-
ton of paste and rub on another. A

from an Arabic word-that is spelled

The important thing from the
fashion point of view is that moire
has been revived. 1t was given a
prominent place in the Autumn
frocks shown by the Paris dress
makers and it is among the things
that seem most attractive to Amer
leans. 1t possesses certain obvious
qualities of smartness and trimness
that appeal very strangely to the
American woman.
Moire. like velvet and taffeta and
broadcloth, has taken on a somewhat
new aspect 1t is not without de-
cided adaptation that fabrics survive
nowadays This new moire is firm
but very pliable. For expensive
frocks a satin back chiffon moire is
used. This can be used on either
side.
Moire unlike some of the other
materials, is suitable and smart for
either day or evening wear. In
black or dark blue or green or one
of the new wine reds it appears be-
fore evening. In peach or apricot or
rose or one Of the new pinkish blues
that are really not quite mauve,
moire becomes one of the most i'm

tuberculosis.

Can diet and exercise cure tuber-
culosis?' asks B. L.
Diet, rest, fresh air and sunshine
can conquer tuberculosis. It is nee
essary that the patient have fresh air
day and night. Sunlight is our great
| est disinfectant. 1t is said that a
tuberculosis germ will die in a few
minutes when exposed to the direct
rays of the sun. 1t is necessary that
the patient have rest-long hours OF
ito enable his body to grow strong.
In some cases, it is necessary for the
patient to remain lying down the
whole "a hours, so that every particle
of energy produced by his nourishing
food may go to building up vitality.
Diet is a most important feature of
the cure. Drugs are unnecessary. But
food is necessary to build up the pa
tient.
tuberculosis can attack the bones.
the joints, the glands of the neck, the
intestines, the throat, the lungs. The
most common form of the disease af
fects the lungs.
People can catch tuberculosis easily.
Many die of it. But if taken in
time it can be cured. Sick people can
give tuberculosis to healthy people.
The germ sleeps away in the healthy
persons body. The healthy person,
through exposure or overwork, lowers
his resistance. A cold develops. 1t
hangs on. The little tubercle bacilli
get busy. They thrive. The germs
develop in the lungs and the patient
has tuberculosis. Colds do not cause
tuberculosis. but they do help the
germs to develop. Therefore. when a
cold lasts longer than two weeks, it
is best to go to q doctor and have
your lungs examined.
Should tuberculosis develop, the
patient should follow to the letter
what the doctor tells him to do. He
should not waste time or money try
ing out drugs. Good food, rest and
lots of fresh air and sunshine can eff
feet a cure if treatment is begun in
the early stages of the disease.
tuberculosis pulls down the pa
tents strength. He becomes thin and
anemic A diet rich in fats and car
bohydrates, vitamins. iron and lime is
necessary. Milk, being rich in cal
cium, is most important. From one
quart of milk a day to several quarts
a day may be prescribed. Not only

My Neighbor Says:

A few drops of turpentine
dropped on a cloth and rubbed
over an enameled bed will re-
move dirt and spots instantly
and leave a good gloss.
Never use soap and water for
washing a marble mantelpiece.
Use plain water to which a
little ammonia has been added
and polish with a soft duster.
When polishing stoves add a
teaspoonful of powdered alum
to the polish. The stoves will
keep twice as long.
Keep a small pair of scissors
in the drawer with your knives.
They will trim the edges of pie
crust much more quickly and
neatly than a knife. Also they
are very convenient for prepar-
ing bread for sandwiches.
Dustless busters should be
washed frequently. The oil in
them may he easily renewed
bv rinsing the cloths in water
containing one tablespoonful of
kerosene to each quart of
water.
Dry salt is a remedy for
hands that become WIinkled
after washing. 1t is also a very
economical toothpowder.
Lamp chimneys should never
be washed in sOapy water.
Hold the chimney over steam
and polish with a cloth. Then
rub it with a rag upon which
a little powdered whiting has
been sprinkled.

EAT AND BE HEALTHY
Dinoh Days Daily Talks on Diet
The Right Food Is the Best Medicine

milk, but cream. because of it's fat
tening quality, should be used in the
diet. Butter also is a valuable food in
this condition. Egg yolks are rich in
iron, and the albumen of the white is
building-up food. From four to six
eggs day may be prescribed. Fresh
vegetables, because they furnish
vitamins and iron and calcium and
give bulk to the diet, are especially
valuable. Olive oil is good to use on
salad dressings. Substitute lemon
Juice for vinegar. because the fruit
juice contains vitamins and a little
calcium. Bacon is a good means of in
Producing extra fat into the diet.
When it is known that tuberculosis
has taken hold, the thing to do is
Immediately to start getting well.
The stepping stones from tuberculosis
to health are rest, fresh air. sunshine
and good food.

Disinfectants.

For a refreshing sickroom disinfect-
ant, put a little freshly ground coffee
in a saucer, and in the center place
a small piece of camphor gum. Light
allow the coffee to be consumed with
it. 1t is pleasant, healthful and
cheap.
a cheap disinfestant for scrubbing
or washing utensils used in sick
room is made by adding teaspoonful
of turpentine to every bucket of water.
Turpentine is powerful disinfectant
and will dispel all bad odOrs.
