Personality

To be beautiful and worthy of the
attention of every lover of beauty is
legitimate aim. To make the most
of oneself is a duty and since the
values imprinted upon ones person.
atty determine the test of ones
worth to society, to business, to the
state. to literature and art, and to
his family, he necessarily proceeds
sions of his real self and all that con-
stitutes distinction and individuality.
If man would present a pleas
ing personality as his claim for rec
ignition in society, he should take
into consideration his mental atti-
tude, his appearance, his manner and
MS speech, for these, together with
MS deeds, are all that his fellow men
have by which to appraise his real
worth.
Personal appearance is next to
ehafactef N importance Nature. is
responsible for some of the factors,
but there is much that the individual
can do for himself. Natural beauty
is wonderful gift, but the social
conouests of history have not been
confined to the possessors of beauty,
fer there have been many notable
cases where decided plainness was
the lot of one who, nevertheless, was
person of great charm.
The first and distinct impression
is ones figure and bearing. Self
consciousness, awkwardness and
haughtiness are some of the traits
that stamp themselves upon the
bearing of the body and reveal there
the clearest manifestations of char
acter, and they are great barriers to
social intercourse, and mental free
dom.
Dress is an indispensable factor,
however. 1t is subordinate to char
acter. 1t is not necessary TO adhere
rigidly to fashions and fads, but good
taste in the style of dress and mate
rial of good quality should be dis
played and should be as striking as
circumstances and modesty will al
low. The niceties of life are always
matters of small care, but great mo-
ment.
1t is fair to assume that every per-
son of refinement adheres to the hab-
it of personal cleanliness with scrup-
ulous, conscientiousness, and that
proper attention is given to the lit
tie details and finishing touches of
dressing which give the impression
conveyed in that graphic expression,
"well-groomed."
There is no more attractive accom-
plishment than the art of correct
speech and intelligent conversation.

SHAMPooING


In summer, excessive perspiration
makes more frequent shampooing
important. II will be found that sun
baths counterfeit the rancid odor
from perspiration and. should be in
dulged in much more frequently than
they are. The sun and air impart
richness, color and life to the hair.
1t actually improves the texture of
the hair.
One of the most important process
ses of the shampoo is thorough rims
ing. Always be sure that every par
ticle of soap has been rinsed out be-
fore drying. 1t is better to have the
hair shampooed where a spray is used
and insist on thorough rinsing with
the last water being cold. This cold
rinse stimulates circulation so that
the danger of catching cold is slight.
A. M. a.: You may increase your
weight by drinking milk, eating fat
tening foods and getting plenty of
rest and sleep.
MRS. +. T. c.: No, ordinary warts
are not contagious. For the warts
on the hands the following lotion
may be used: One dram of sali-
clyic acid; one ounce flexible col
lodion. Mix well. Apply with tiny
camel's hair brush for four nights.
Then soak in hot water. This takes
away much of the horny covering.
Continue the treatment until the
wart disappears.
MISS t.: Try an eyewash of salt
water-just enough salt to make the
water taste salty, like tears. It is
an excellent practice to apply a wash
cloth, which has been wrung out of
warm water, to the eyes after bath
ing at night. Let it rest on the eye
lids for a minute or two. 1t releases
the muscles of the eyes from their
set position of the day. Repeat in
the morning, using a cold cloth.
M. j.: The starch in potatoes is
the hardest of all starches to digest.
Eat sparingly of them. You're less
liable to grow stout on a diet of veg
etables, particularly fresh vegetables,
such as lettuce, spinach, asparagus,
beet tops and celery.

The Mexican government has refused

has created a sensation here. A
telegram announcing cancellation of

ness and causing financial loss not
only to the oil companies but to local
commerce.
No announcement was made by the:
local oil bureau of the Mexican de-

from other oil companies.
