Towel Rods.
On the arrangement OF towels and
towel racks depends much of the con-
venien of a bathroom. II there is
space. it is fine to have rod for each
individual, but unless the family is very
small or the room larger than the aver
age. this is not practical. However, II
is possible for every one to have deSig-
mated place for towel and face cloth
Just the same Nothing is more annoy
ing than to find towel misplaced or
already used when. with dripping hands,
we turn to get it. Many disagreeable
word has been said simply because of
such a situation in the home. Here is
a remedy that has proved successful.
Write the names Of the different
members of the family and also the
word guest on gunlmed pastors, such
as come for labels. Paste these on the
wall back of the rack. allowing enough
space between for at least one towel
and face cloth. There is room for
three of these sets on the average
sized towel rod. In most bathrooms
three rods can be given space. 1t Is

sized towels. both hand and bath. and
a face cloth
A medicine chest is indispensable in
q bathroom. Usually one is built in,
but if not 1t may be bought or made
at home from box painted white and
having shelves nailed in. This should
hold the little accessories. such as curl
ing tongs, manicure articles, shaving
things. etc. besides the medicines.

wastebaskets for bathrooms come

These receptacles are important. With

Jar of cold cream, a bottle of toilet

The essential fittings in nickel be-

fittings may be multiplied TO suit per-

practically indispensable.

Superfluous Hair on Lip.
Dear Miss Leeds tl) have super.
fluous hair on my upper lip and nose
cannot afford to have 1t removed By
electrolysis, so what can I do? az My
eyebrows are very dark and heavy and
meet over my nose. would like to
have then thinner, but am afraid that
pulling them out win only make them
grow in heavier. 49, How can ! remove
blackheads from my upper lip? t0 ]
am only % years old but have lines
around eyes, forehead and mouth.
am 80 pounds overweight. G.
Answer-(iD You are right in think
ing that temporary methods for re-
moving superluous hair tend 10 increase
its growth. If you feel that you can
not have them removed permanently,
the best thing is to bleach them with
peroxide lthree parts) and ammonia

night t2) ] advise you TO continue
tweeZing out the hairs over the bridge
of your nose, but leave the others alone
unless you are willing 10 take the trouble
TO thin them out every week or so.
t3) Blackheads are tiny oil or sweat
glands that have become clogged with
CRIME. You must cleanse them thor
oughly every night with soap and
water. "a The premature wrinkles may
be partly due 10 your having dry skin

LIQUORFICHT
IS UNSOLVED
REPORT SAYS
Major Part Of Illegal
Booze Said Coming
From Canada by At
torney General

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4-lPl-The
fight against the smuggling Of
liquor from Canada into the United
States which has been a major prob
line of the prohibition enforcement
authorities during the past year was
declared to be still unsolved in the
annual report of the department Of
justice transmitted today to con-
gress by Attorney General Sargent.
The Canadian sfuation was dealt
with by Mrs. Mabel Walker WILLIE
brandt, assistant attorney general in
charge of prohibition enforcement,
whose report was Incorporated in
the attorney generals report. She
said that, while the federal authori-
ties we're successfully combating
the Illegal entry Of liquor frcm the
high seas. approximately $4,000. 600
worth Of liquor a month was snug
gled across the Canadian border.
Mrs. Willebrandt quoted statistics
issued by the department of trade
and commerce of Canada, which she
declared showed that there were
i.169, 002 gallons of whiskey alone,
valued at s1S,Ss3, 541. exported to the
United States in 1929.
"These figures given cover the ex-
portations Of whiskey only Mrs.
Willebrandt said. "and the same rec
ords show that the total Of all alco-
holic beverages exported TO the
United States from Canada during
the year ending June 80. 1925.
amounted TO $24,397, 1853. As observed
heretofore, these records show only
the liquor which was regularly clear
ed through Canadian customs. Some
of il may be short circuited for con-
sumption in Canada. On the other
hand, it is believed a substantial
amount Of liquor enters the United
States across the northern border of
which the Canadian customs has no
record"
