time he failed to accomplish his
purpose-either because the then
accepted radius of the earth was
In error by at least 500 miles, or
because he had not yet succeeded
In determining the law of mutual
attraction of two spheres. Years
later, when the correct value for
the earth's radius was discovered,
Newton demonstrated completely
the famous law of universal gravt-

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
by Dr.. Louis 3. Risch

NOBODY can deny that sound
AN and vigorous health makes
the best complexion.
Women, however, usually fuss
about their compilations more
than about any other single thing
ana even when it would be best
to let it alone and let nature
do It's own work they are forever
figuring out what cream or powder
or rouge or whatever might be
used to improve things.
A pale girl wants to have req
cheeks. A red-cheeked' girl or
woman wants to be made pale.
For different lights, daylight or
lamp shades, the face must be
treated so that it will look most
effective.
II is useless for one to decry
such practices. The women folk
behaved that way even before
the tirna of Tut -Ankh-Amen. And
II looks as IL they are going to
continue the same way, perhaps
even more so.
But a woman can and should
keep her skin clean.
Al least once a day, and pref"
erably two or three times a day,
the makeup should be removed
completely and thoroughly.
There are those who boast, In
deed. that water has not touched
their faces for years. Such
women believe that water harms
the skin, and so they use cold
cream or milk or some other To-
tion to rub off the grease and
the powder.
4 little thought will convince
anyone. however, that the contin-
nal application of powder, with
a cream beforehand as base, is
bound to clog UP the pores and
nroduce an unhealthy and uIl.
clean condition of the face,
Only a skin that is afflicted
with disease WIN be harmed by

even, should be protected in this
Soft water is the best water

Hard water irritates the skin

that Il to blame. What they do Is
prevent a formation OF the lather,
or. they curdle the minute soap
flakes and this causes the inol-
vidual to rub harder to get the
face clean and therefore produces
irritation.
II should be remembered that
t,1a face IL naturally oily and II
these oils are washed away }too
often the skin becomes dry fand
scaly.
n il best to buy a good soap
and wash first with warm wafer
and then at the end to bathe
the face with cold water.
For a delicate skin sponges or
soft washcloths are best. Care
must be taken, however, that they
be boiled often to keep them
clean.
The, face should always be dried
naturally, This Is q precaution
many persons, men and women
are careless about.
A soft towel is advisable and
a warm room helps the drying
