ponder these statements. For the boys. however,
I'm sure it will be worth while to listen.
The average boy who has a pimply face
does not wash himself clean. Please do not mis-
understand me. He may use more soap and
water than his brother or friend who has a clear
skin. But some faces require far more water,
soap and scrubbing than do others.
If the skin has large pores and is inclined
to be greasy, il takes a lot of care to cleanse
it thoroughly. Hard water and a ~sap-dash bath
ing won't do.
As a matter of fact, il is surprising how
much dirt may be left on the skin after what may
be regarded as pretty thorough washing. Wet
the corner of the towel with a little alcohol and
after you think the face is clean, rub it over
the neck or forehead-you will be embarrassed
to see how black the cloth becomes.
