choice inclined in another direction

rounds herself-the place would have
been less suitable.
! In choosing pictures for the second

| decorative value to the walls--there
are many things to consider. such as
| harmony, color and esthetic appeal.
| One must deliberately decide what
color should be emphasized and in
what manner, either to accord with
the other decorations or add a note of
contrast and vitality that is lacking

it vacant permanently than fill it with
the wrong picture. And. best of all.
have the eye to recognize the right
| picture when you see it.
| Japanese prints are not usual and
| can either be costly to buy, like the
genuine ttamaros, IIokuSaiS, etc. or

To acquaint ones self with good
pictures with the object of having

A QUESTIONING MISS.
Answer-D You are not using the
correct cleansing method for your
face. After removing your makeup
at bedtime with clcaSing cream, wash
your face with pure soap and warm
water. Rinse in clean, warm water
and then battle your face for several
minutes in cold water. Dry thor
OuGhly. You may need a lighter type
of cream for n powder base unless
your skin is of very dry type. (2)
Mix together six parts baking soda
four parts strained lemon juice and
one part peroxide with enough water
to dissolve. After washing your limbs
at bedtime. spread on this mixture, let
it dry and then draw on an old pair
Of white stockings to keep the bleach
in contact with the hairs over night
Next morning wash off the bleach.
Repeat the treatment six nights in sue
CeSsion and then gently rub off the
weakened hairs with pumice stone or
leave them as they arc. (3) You have
a poor circulation. Build up your
weight 10 normal If YOU are under
weight. Take plenty of nourishing
food and outdoor exercise in the fresh
ar. (4 Excessive perspiring usually
indicates nervousness or a rundown
condition. | recently heard of a case
in which a girl found that using a
lotion for checking underarm perspira.
ton caused her face to flush and feel
very hot. After using the lotion short
time she found that it no longer had
any effect in checking tho perspira ton.
Perhaps your case is similar to hers.
You must build up your health. For a
local treatment battle your armpits in
strong cold salt water once a day and
dust them with a deodorant talcum
powder. 90 Very oily hair may be
washed once week. Please send a
stamped. self-addressed envelope for
my leafiet on Care of the Hair" that

st. The selection of pictures for home
a Is a problem with which every home
: maker is at some time confronted, and
which is met with varying degrees of
!, successor lack of it. 1t may he
q discriminate choice of one picture from
several already possessed or ii may be
"a purchase which is being considered.
If the latter there is, of course.
; much wider range of selection and
.rather definite idea of what is wanted
becomes necessary. Some are able
tlo obtain the advice of an expert, but
= this number is small compared to the
eenumber who must be their own ex-
pert. their own decorators and con-
noisseurs.
e Certain suggestions there are which
will go far to aid the puzzled ones,
and they are those which the merest
lsyman in the world of art can
understand and follow without be
coming involved in difficult matters.
Fortunately they are simple.
Pictures should be chosen for one
of three reasons-because they have
a very definite appeal to the buyer.
!. becau they add actual decoration to
walls or because they have fond asso-
Citations. To wish to own a picture
I because one feels instinctively that
sNthe frequent sight of it will be re-
freshinS is assuredly a worthy motive
for buying. although the selection of
place to put it will depend upon the
s subject. whether suited 10 living room.
! chamber. dining room or hall, and to
whether or not its interest is personal
or general.
Take. for example, the case of a
girl, away from home, who chose a
picture of Whistler's Mothers" less
realizing that she had selected a mas
terpiece than feeling aware of GER
tain warmth with which the picture
filled her-a kind of nominees that
the passive, kind-looking woman diff
fused in that most .impersonal of
z places, city apartment. 1t was senti-
z ment more than artistic value, per-
haps. that governed the choice, yet
Z the dignity of the picture suited the
place where it was hung-over a man.

Fuel Value of Vegetables.

AS we all know, the foods we eat
provide fuel for the body, and the
more we work or exercise and the
more of ourselves we use up, SO to
speak, the more fuel we require to
rebuild all we spend. We also know
that too much fuel stores itself in the
body in the form of excess fat.
/ Now, vegetables and fruits have
low fuel or caloric value. which makes
them advantageous TO any one want
ing to reduce. The fuel value of fresh
vegetables varies from way under 100
calories to the pound in the case of
lettuce and cucumbers 20 about 450 in
the case of shelled peas. corn cut from
the cob and sweet potatoes. As you
know IL you are a housewife, 1t takes
a lot of lettuce to make a pound, and
not many sweet potatoes.
The fuel value of fruit varies from
about so calOries per pound for the
edible portion of melons 20 about $50
insthe case of plums and bananas.
#Here's a comparison The food
value or fuel or caloric value of cereals
IS about ] 500 to the pound. Sugar is
/ 500 to the pound. butter, 3 400. Good
oil and refined lard is 1000

caloric foods to people who are not
reducing? Well, giving $500 calories
as an average daily ration for one who
is neither gaining nor reducing, the
advantage is this: Two to three
pounds of fresh fruit and vegetables a
day can be eaten, with a large propor.
ton of calories left over for other sorts
of foods. SO if the body happens. to
need larger proportion of, say, iron,
or vitamins, these can be supplied by
enormously increasing the amount of
fruit and vegetables which contain
these things. 1t would not be possible
to increase fats and starches proper

Millions of teeth are extracted each !

volition. Or, he is told that tooth is
a menace to his health and has it re-

Years back, whenever a man had a
toothache, the offending tooth was
pulled out. When this operation had
been performed thirty-two times, the

after his tooth troubles were over.
Then dental surgery was developed

thereof. Having tooth extracted
