Where its beauty is concerned, OIL
she can develop every point LOT
beauty and check every tendency
toward unattractiyeness While the
little thing is soft and plastic as
fresh clay.
With an infant health and the
foundation for lifelong beauty are
very closely allied. Give your child
the priceless possession of a good
digestion and you will have given IL
one of the first essentials to falf,
fresh skin ard the happy express
sion that keeps the face free from
worry lines and burrows. 1t is not
only the pimples, purple splotches
and other blemishes that can be at
tributed to bad digestion, but the
general color tone of the skin as
well. Science has created bleaches
and identifying skinfoods to bring
vivacity and whiteness to a saiiow'
vellowish or dead-looking skin, but
the job would be so very much cas-
Ter if only good digestion had
been developed from babyhood.
When breast feeding is dlscon-
tinued, be sure to get the very pest
milk obtainable and never give 1t 10
baby raw. 1t should be heated to
the boiling point. When baby is CIV

Be sure the orange juice is strictly
fresh.

good, pure powder should be used tt
prevent irritation.
Posture and shape means so much
to beauty that | must give you some

beautiful. Always support her bacl
