Hints for Summer Beauty
By JOSEPHINE HUDDLESTON

0F first Importance In maintain
ing Summer comfort and
~ Summer beauty Is to drink
lots o. water. We are told that at
least eight glasses OF water each day
IS necessary 70 thoroughly purge our
system OF impurities and TO give the
system its necessary amount OF
water. During the hot Summer
months even more water than this
should be taken each day.
one OF Natures methods OF cool
Ing the body so that II does not be
come overheated In hot weather. Is
letting the pores exude moisture
which we call perspiration The
constant expclling OF this moisture
keeps the body cooled and so those
individuals who perspire IN hot
weather are more comfortable and
consequently more attractive than
those who don't perspire.
There are two advantages 70 drink
tie lnts OF water In Summer. The
f;rst ~ that Il helps 10 promote per-
snirat,on and the second IL that
large quantities OF water keeps the
nersplration odorless. which Is OF In.
%,rinsic value to the dainty woman.
Lines, oranges and lemons a be
hrotght into use for AIDES, thus max
ing the water diet more palatabfe as
well as beneficial.
Lines and lemons have a tendency

reous during hot weather and I've
told you before hat they help to
keep the weight down.
Leu.-FG are splendid 70 keep the
complexion clear and lovely. so nee
AGAIN we get the beauty benefit as
well as the health benefit.

with refusal Of food. There may be-
loss OF weight from indigestion due
10 the indulgence OF an over-stfm-
ulated appetite. A appe-
tite may be due to abnormal condi-
tons. In short. then. the appetite
IL not a positive sign OF health. or
OF the lack OF health.
Failure OF the baby 10 take mis-
food may be due to one OF several
causes Let US see what some OF
them are:
A sore throat or a sore mouth may
be the cause. IL hurts to swallow.
or Il hurts TO feed. Naturally. the
infant declines to eat because OF the
pain when IL Is attempted. The
delicate tissues may be injured by
something the baby has put in its
mouth or. II IL has reached that age.
there may be intense OF the
gums from teething.
Probably the most common cause
OF lost appetite is wrong feeding BY
this ! mean the feeding OF the wrong
food. or giving too much OF the right
food. Both are common faults.

Hands are apt 10 swell a little In
very hot weather and TO become red.
Both conditions mar the beauty OF
the hands. a partial remedy for
this is found by remembering not to
swing the arms vigorously when
walking and not TO let them hang
straight Gown at the sides any more
than can be helped. The tendency
when the hands hang down Is for an
excess amount OF blood to go to
them. making them red. n you can
find a way ~ avoiding this you've
partly solved the red-hand problem.
Then. again. never wash your
hands In very hot water II they are
inclined 10 swelling and redness in
hot water. Use tepid water. rinse
them in cold water. and pat them
dry instead OF rubbing them dry.

Some people are jealous and
think they have every right to

You know better.
That sounds as If you had
some common sense.
You know your wife is sensible

you know she loves you-well,

you let her alone about other
men? What did she marry you

think that she's falling in love
with him?
She's something besides your
wife, she's a human being to
begin with and after that she's
a woman and after that she is
your wife.
You can't put a bandage over
her eyes and a halter around
her neck and drag her through
life like a horse that you have
bought in the open market.
She has a right 10 her own
life and her own friendships
and it is none Of your business
what she does-as long Is she

Are you so evil-minded that
you can't believe that she can

TO a decent man without letting
him make love 70 her? What

Why should you imagine these
things about a good, sensible
girl who loves you? And
whisper, she isn't going to love
you very long IL you keep on
making her miserable by your
silly, narrow : minded, low
minded jealousy.
Women, these days, know the
