ENLARGED Pores on Nose.

Dear Miss Leeds: What can I do
for enlarged pores on my nose? My
skin is oily and 1 use vanishing
cream as a powder base. When l use
powder it settles in the pores and
makes my nose look blotchy, but
when I do not use the cream and
powder my nose is shiny. My face
breaks out now and then, although l
eat nourishing food and exercise every
day. Would yeast help me? I am Is
years old. feet 6 inches tall and
weigh 1874 pounds. 1 haven't any
color in my cheeks; does a touch of
rouge now and then spoil the skin?
HARRIET.
Answer-A simple way to reduce
enlarged pores Is to use the ice rub.
After cleansing your face thoroughly
at bedtime, dry your face, rub in a
little cold cream and then rub your
face with a piece of ice wrapped in
a handkerchief. Rub the ice with a
gentle, upward. rotary movement for
several minutes and then dry the
skin and pat on a little witch-haz eel.
If you repeat the treatment every
night for two weeks you will notice
an improvement. I would like you
to have a copy of my leafiet on Care
Of Oily Compilations that give other
helpful treatments for your type.
Please send me a stamped, self-ad-
dressed envelope for it. You will
soon outgrow the pimples and en-
larged pores If you give your skin
the right local care and if you con-
tinue to be careful about diet and
exercise. These blemishes often &C.
cur during adolescence without ap-
parent cause other than the physical
changes characteristic of this period
of life. If you are troubled with
constipation, the yeast would help,
but you can obtain the same result
by including enough roughage in
your regular diet, such as bran and
the woody fibers Of vegetables. You
are about 10 pounds over the aver.
age weight for girls of your age and
height, but you are too young to re-
duce. Do not use rouge every day;
an occasional touch Of rouge will not
hurt your skin If you are careful to
remove 1t all before you retire for
the night. Be out in the fresh air
as much as you can. Be sure to
have plenty Of air in your bedroom
at night. LOIS LEEDS.

Pour the mixture on to buttered

, fingers 1t will dent and is cool. Then

until it breaks. Then it can be
worked with the fingers until 1t is
very creamy 1t can be warmed to
make it liquid enough to pour into
molds. but 1t must never be allowed
to lose its creamy texture. If 1t does
it must be boiled and cooled and
cooled and worked again. However
sugary fondant is, it can always be
melted down and boiled again, several
times over, If necessary to get 1t
right.
There seems to be a knack about
making fondant, but in this 1t Is just
like most cooking. Perhaps you will
have the knack, but IL you haven't,
experience Will make you expert.
Fondant is not hard to make right,
but it requires careful watching and

sugary crust form in the surface, the

cooked too long. The temperature of
the fondant changes very rapidly as 1t

watched very carefully. No scrapings
should be allowed to get into fondant,

Left and Right Handed.


Sandy was II wears old, but only in
| +he third grade: there is no doubt that
| SANDY was dull. But he was handl'
canned. He had a bad start in lie
| and half a. dozen serious illnesses IN
| childhood. One of them, scarlet fever,
left behind an ear trouble and some
! loss of hearing, and his eyes were not
! Of the best. Sandy was reported as
restless. irritable, emotional; showed
signs of nervousness, bit his nalls,
| cried out in his sleep, had many fears,
couldn't concentrate, did badly in all
his school work. Sandy didn't mean
to be troublesome. but he was.
When DR.. Ira S. Vile got Sandy's
history he spotted one thing that was
responsible for much of the trouble.
Sandy was W nature strongly left
handed. Great pains had been taken
to make him right handed, yet he still
wrote and drew and did things bet
ter with his left than with his right
hand.
All attempts to make him right
handed were stopped. Within two
months Sandy became quieter. better
behaved, made more effort, showed
more interest in his work. Letting
him use his left hand, as Nature in
tended, didn't increase his mind pow
err, but allowed him to use 1t more
freely.
There are cases in which forcing
right -handedness on a left-handed
child induced suffering, confusion,
restlessness. irritability, ready fatigue.
It is more convenient to be right
handed, but where the bent the other
way is strong, DR.. Vile doesn't hest
tate to say that it Is stupid and brutal
to go against Nature. The Zulus
scalded the left hand Of left-handed
children to make them right-handed,
but they didn't know any better.
The difficulty in laying down rules
Is that there are varieties of left

who use either hand almost equally
well: IL that facility is retained they
are called ambideXtrouS. And among
| these are an unusual proportion OF
persons who really do a little better
| with their left hand. If you have that
| kind Of a left handed child, converting
him to observation-disclosures Is probably
both easy and safe. Most Of us are
more right handed than we should
| be-we neglect the left hand. The
, left handed have more occasion TO
cultivate the right hand than the
right handed to use the left hand. A
child originally left-handed and made
right handed without bad effects
should remain right-handed. But II
he is like Sandy, undo the wrong.

kindergarten age. If the child In

on the road to observation-disclosures, go
on. If there Is marked resistance and
persistence of the left-handed habit
in all things, let Nature have its way.
About four persons in 100 are by
nature left-handed. Instead of having
the left half of the brain better de-
veloped, as Is the case in right-handed
people, their brains are better devel-
oped on the right side. Why, we
don't know. 1t is true that left-hand.
ed persons are four times as common
among the detectives as among the
population at large. But it is also
true that left-handedness Is at least
as common among the bright and the
exceptionally able as among the ordi-
nary righthanded majority. Your

or better. IF he is strongly left-hand.

A Sermon for Today
BY REV. JOHN r.. GUM.
Blessed to Bless.

Text: II will make Of thee a great
nation, and I will bless thee, and
make thy name great; and thou
shalt be a blessing. In thee
shall all the families Of the earth be
blessed. Gen, 1928.
When God revealed to Abraham
His purpose to make of his seed a
nation which should be His chosen
people, He made it plain that His OBJ
ject in doing so was to make them
blessing to other nations. IT will bless
thee, and thou shalt be blessing"
He said to Abraham. And that rule
applies with regard to all the blessings
God bestows, whether upon individ-
uals or nations. God never makes
favored pets Of either persons or peo-
pies. In the divine economy the uni
versal law Is, blessed to bless.
Here is a lesson that needs to be
impressed upon the American people.
and our national Thanksgiving season
seems an appropriate time for doing
so. 1t is all right to thank God for
His blessings upon us as a nation, but
our thanksgiving will not find much
grace in His sight if we use our bless
ings for selfish ends. Our thanksgiv-
ing for prosperity. wealth, strength
and power would be more impressive
il accompanied by a prayer for wis
dom to use these things for the good
OF humanity and the world.
It seems more like Dragging than
giving thanks to get down on our
knees and thank God that we are bet
ter of than other nations. II we are
better of than other nations, we
should remember that we have been
blessed TO bless, and should so use our
superior resources and advantages
that the rest Of the world will thank
God that we have them.

OUR CHILDREN By Angelo patri

adults experience? A child who loves
color and room and line and does well
with them? A child who handles tools
with love and appreciation and fine
results? What place is there in the
school for such child?
If a lad went into the office of the
principal and asked for help to skin
a cat would the principal faint or
would he say, go to room 101 and
ask for Mr.. Skinner and he will help
you out. Come back to me If you
don't get what you need"
Some day I hope there will be in
every school in the world a free
teacher. That teacher will make it
his business to see that each different
child gets the opportunity to feed his
difference. He will know almost
everything and when he doesn't know
it he will know where to send the
child to get it. The schools will be
looser then and the children truly
pilgrims Of learning. But today?
What opportunity has your different
child today?

but nowadays other excuses can be
found for them. For instance, if one
wished windows with deep reveals in

The window shown here has inside

feature where one does not wish to
use any roller shade or drapery. They
are evidently not used at all for this
window, as it is quite charmingly

Disbursements.

Most people, regardless Of their
school training, have never studied hui
man anatomy or physiology in seri-
Gus way, because these subjects are
commonly considered a little improper,
at least for the instruction of pupils in
the grade schools. and by the time pu-
pills get along into high school or COL
lege, the education authorities assume
the young people have somehow
learned about as much of human anat-
omy and physiology as is necessary
for lady or gentleman to know. This
system makes good picking for those
who exploit credulity. An individual
with an elementary knowledge of
anatomy and physiology is not gong
TO believe that suave barber, after a
few months Of study. can detect slight
displacements of spinal vertebrate that
the thoroughly educated and expert
enced physician and surgeon cannot
recognize.
Thirty or 40 years ago the doctors,
through routine examination, discov-
cred that a good many women have
displacements of the pelvic organs. A
considerable number Of these women
also complained Of various symptoms
it can do no good to mention the
symptoms, and it doesn't matter any,
Ndy-dIu the uOClOTS, HAVING io pEScc-
dents, no long experience to guide
them, just jumped to the conclusion
that these symptoms Of which the
women complicated. were due to the
displacementsti found in examination.
Well, it was sad story, but it is all
over now and we have good news to
tell.
The good news is this: No displaee-
ment other than actual dislocation
from severe injury. need give a
woman any anxiety, and certainly no
such displacement causes any symp-
tom which the woman may hap
pen to have. I hope this is clearly ex-
pressed, for 1t seems to me that we
