Beauty Expert Discusses Contour Of the chin

An excellent idea is to begin with
that horrid little triangle Of sun.

most every woman's throat and
chest. Then with an upward
movement spread the lemon water
to the tip of your chin. It tends
to whiten as well az firm the skin
and closes pores. Wipe your neck
and chin with the same upward
movement.
Here is an exercise which is
most discouraging to a flabby
chin. Place your thumbs and first
fingers at the center Of your chin
just where 1t turns down toward
the neck. Pick up the flesh with
thumb and finger on either side
of the chin and roll it, working
outward and upward toward your
ears. Begin again, q little farther
down toward your neck and repeat
the same movement until your en-.
tire under-chin has received lively
attention. The best time for this
exercise is just before you give
your neck, ears and chin their.

Chins are growing more beauti-
full in this era of universal fem
mime loneliness. The double chin
is becoming doubly conspicuous
because it is rare. Creepy, fiabby
chins are less frequently seen
than in former days. Women
are forgetting to grow old.
Doubtless this Improvement In
chin contour is due to several
causes. Most important Of all we
are thinking along Independent
lines. We face the world fear
lessly, with self,reliance, these
days. The natural result of
straightforward, fearless thinking
is the straight, high carriage Of
the neck, spine, chin and head.
A drooped chin is the natural
expression Of timidity. A relaxed,
flabby chin. either crepe-like or
doubled by creases of fat, results
when the muscles of the chin and
neck are permitted to relax and
grow weak instead of being used
actively in holding up the head.
So cultivate self.reliant thought,
look the whole world in the face
and fear not any man" II you
would achieve and retain a lovely,
supple contour of neck and chin,
with firm skin tissue.

cultivate correct posture. Avoid
such habits as poking your head
forward when you walk. Try to

A STRANGE
DRUG

A new and highly dangerous
narcotic, called "banisterin," has
been developed in Germany. 1t
has proved to be the only effec-
tive medium yet found to com.
bat sleeping sickness. The drug
was discovered in South America,
where many tribes live in semi
permanent trance under its intlu-
ence. During the first hour the
drug induces an excited condi-
ton in which all the senses are
keyed up and the addict is capable
of performing superhuman fsats
of strength and dexterity. In the
next stage, lasting several hours,
the addict slowly sinks through a
period of Authorizations and ex-
haustion TO sleep accompanied by
fantastic and usually agreeable
dreams.

article "On Shifting Sand" relating to
the veneratjOn by the Church of England

question being raised, as it would appear,
through a report of the conservation of
a shrine to Saint Teresa in st. Johns
Church, this town. which it is claimed
was culIed from the St. Croix Avis.
There is evidently some mistake as the
account of the dedication referred to did
