MILADY BEAUTIFUL
By LOIS LEEDS.

solve one heaping teaspoonful of boric
acid In a pint of boiling water. The
lotion should be used while 1t Is quite
hot, but, OF course, not hot enough to
burn the skin. Battle the pimples in
the hot solution, then with a sterilized
needle open the ripe ones and gently
press out the pus. There are several
dipped in alcohol, heated in the flame
Of match, suspended in boiling water
or dipped into a suitable antiseptic
preparation.
Battle the pimples a second time In
fresh boric acid solution. If possible.
expose the affected skin to the suns
rays for about 10 minutes after the
treatment. Repeat the whole procedure
every day or every other day for several
weeks. The mild sunburn Combined
with the antiseptic local treatments Is
healing. During the day the following
lotion may be patted on several times
and allowed to dry: One dram sulphate
OF zinc, one dram sulphuretted potash,
four ounces ,rosewater. Dissolve the
sulphate of zinc in half of the rose
water and dissolve the potash in the
other half, then mix the two solutions.
Constitutional treatments are even
more important than local ones when it
comes to getting rid of bad case of
pimples. One must build up the gen.
eral health. avoid constipation, diges-
tive troubles and anything else that
tends to lower the tone of the system.
Diet is a big factor IN effecting a cure.
Those who are troubled with acne
should be most careful to select a we'll
balanced diet of plain, wholesome foods.
Starches, sweets and meats should be
taken in moderation. Rich pastries,
spiced condiments, salt meats, pickles,
fried foods pork sausage cheese cocoa
chocolate, soda-water and thickened
gravies should in most cases be omitted
entirely. Plenty of salads, fresh fruits
and non-starch vegetables should be
used In the diet. Water should be
drunk freely between meals, but not
with meals, as a general rule.

A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK
BY HERBERT PLUMMER.

He has seen many disappointments
during his service in the Senate. Often
they have caused him to be downcast.
First, last and always he is friend OF
the people, and he is forever seeking
new fields for service.
He is a comparatively poor man. as
United States Senators go. And he cares
nothing at all for the emoluments of
that office.
He has never sought the social posi-
ton that Is his for the asking by virtue
of his rank. He looks with disdain upon
the so-called senatorial tea parties. He
lives a simple, and as 1t appears at an
observer, one of the loneliest lives In the
Senate.
He is plain and unimpressive. In ap-
pearance he Is nothing like the man
one would expect him to be. His hair
is white and his eyebrows are dark. The
little black bow tie that he always wears
only accentuates the mildneSs of his
face.
His speeches are never delivered in
bombastic fashion. Always he talks in
a conversational tone. What he says
appears twice as powerful when seen on
paper than when heard on the floor
Of the Senate.
He exhibits devotion to his corn
cob pipe. His one extravaganza is to
make sure that he has at hand at all
times an abundance of tobacco and a
plentiful supply Of stogies. He once
was known as the star cornshucker Of
his community.
He belongs to no church and Is q
member of the Masonic fraternity.
He prefers to be called a progressive
rather than a radical. There is no hate
in his soul for money. In fact, he often
wishes that he had q million dollars.
He would enjoy nothing more than to
be able to go into restaurant, order
what he wants from the menu and
never look at the price on the opposite
side.

soumed Potatoes.

For this use large, long, old potatoes,
the kind that bake well. Pare one at

around each potato. This removes all
the eyes and blemishes and gives q

then with a sharp knife cut less than
one -eighth-inch thick slices. It Is Inn
portant to have all the slices cut even

without washing, In the folds Of towel.

utes, then drain. Heat the fat very hot,
then add the potatoes. Cook them until

Remedies for Pimples.

Acne vu1garis is a widespread chronic
skin disease characterized by black
heads, pinples, blotches and greasiness
of the skin, chiefly on the chin, cheeks,
forehead, shoulders and back It is COM
monest in young people In the Adde'S
cent period, from the early teens to
the early twenties.
The first sign Of acne is a number of
minute red scattered points or little
pimples which form at the mouths CT
the tiny glands or pits in which the
microscopic hairs on the skin are en-
bedded. At first there may be only
three or four, but as new crops con-

White stockings that have be-

Of the deep shades to be worn
this Fall and Winter.
Gum arabic used in starching
net curtains gives them just
enough stiffness. Add one table

Let stand over night, strain in
the morning, and use.
II the windows stick after the
house has been painted, brush

Summer, for it opened OF from bed
room.
BY removing the door, adding false
back so that it would not be too deep
for books and installing shelves, a most
attractive wall arrangement was created.
There are many things which might
have been placed beneath these shelves,
but the little tilt-leaf table is one which
could scarcely be improved upon. In q
guest room this would serve as desk,
for 1t is Just the right height, and so
little space Is really needed for desk
IN this room. And don't forget that d
dish of fruit and vase Of flowers is al
ways a welcome to the guest. A table
such as this would be just the right
place for these.

One Mother Says:
We have thought best to teach our
children to take charge Of some small
article when going on Summer outings.
At sbout years of age they were given
an empty candy box, neatly wrapped.
OF course no one told the child that
the box was empty. AS they grew older,
we gave them some small article to
carry, and in this way, taught them
not for get anything that was In
trusted to their care.
We believe that this training has been
helpful, and that each child has been
happy In knowing that they shared the
responsibility with the elders.

dark red or bright red pinples become
larger and full of pus, which should
then be removed, as shall explain
below. If the liberation is allowed to
become deep, a permanent scar in the

after the pimple has healed.

treatment of acne, and for this pur-

mem sikeriilt Morresen Erik kepet
elhomalyositanom ez ketsegbe
ejtett.
Egy meleg augusztusi delutan
apammal a kertben setaltam.
Hosszu pipajabol szitt olykor le
hajolt, hogy egy gyomot kigyom-
laljon, vagy pedig a felh6k jara-
sat nezte. Ekkor batorsagot vet
tenn magamnak es szoltam:
- Apam!
- Dida!
- Mondd csak edes apam, ho-
Cyan lettel egyszerre olyan valla-
SOS. Hisz azelott mem voltal.
Mint mindig, most is varni kel-
lett a feleletre.
Tudod, Dida, ha az ember
szerencsetlen, nagyon szerencset-
len AIT Sc tudja hol Xxi, hol be es
sehol sem talal vigaszt, ugy oda-
fordul, ahol gndolja, hogy seglt-
seget kaphat s utolso ketsegbe-
esett remennyel hitbe kapasz-
kOdik.
- Els segitett rajtad, apam
Megnyugodtals
Apam kiiln0s tekintetet vetett
ream.
- AIT hiszem, anyadnak igaza
van. A hitnek beliilr6l kell jennie,
mem kiviilrol. Ha az ember maga-
ba sail, ugy gyakran hallja listen
szavat, betegsegem 6ta ezt sok-
szor tapasztaltam. Sokkal vilago-
sabban sz6l ilyenkor hozzank.
Felbeszakitotta beszedet ell
kezdett a r6zsakr6l beszelni, mi
ket tavaly oltott en- mem mertem
ezt a targyat ujra erinteni, bar
nagyon szerettem volna meg tob-
bet tudni r6la.
Tovabbra is szorgalmasan jar
tam templomba es buzg6n imad
koztam, hogy listen hallgassa meg
ker6semet, de ne mhasznalt, mem
tudtam szabadulni Morreser
Erikt6l, sem vagyamt6l.

tam Helgat6l, melyben irta, hogy
a verseny alatt Baden-Badenber

Alig beszeltiink ot percig egy
