When Human Interest in
Beauty Culture Began

In order to trace the very first in
tercst manifested by women in the de-
velopment of personal beauty, one
would have to go back to the very be-
ginning of time. From extensive re-
search, I find that there was never
time when people were not interested
in beauty culture, although the varying
standards of the different ages must
naturally have seemed ridiculous to
each succeeding generation.
The Atlantians in $500 B. c. have
handed down to later generations the
earliest reputed records of the use OF
cosmetics. The Chinese civilization
brought about pursuit of beauty
that amounted almost to religion.
One of the manifestations which per-
siscd in later years in China was the
custom of binding feminine feet If
order 20 keep them tiny. Thi:
seems to us such 4 cruel practice

selves considering the purchase OF
brand new radio to replace one
now out of date or-thrill OF all
thrills-it may be the first radio to
come into the home! g
When setting forth to buy the
great question is always, what type,
what make, what design will prove
best. A definite rule cannot posi-
biy be laid down for guidance, for
today there are many excellent radio
sets on the market. Splendid tonal
quality may be found in the prod
nets of several leading companies.
Beauty in design is the general r,he.
Ease of operation has been the aim
of all designers. Prices can be
found to fit any purse. With this
promising field to roam in there
seems but one point which need
concern us greatly, and that is-the
strength and reliability Of the COM
pany making the set.
Regardless Of preliminary good
behavior, we want to know that our
radio is sponsored by concern
whose policies have guided it safely
through years of operation, so that
we may rest assured our instrument
will serve us reliably for a very long
time. After all-buying radio is
not widely different from the pur-
chase of a car or a sewing machine
two investments we would never
think of making without the comfort
of good, reliable name to lean back
upon.

\ NEW YORK: Social life is TO-

There she found the girl ensconced
in fairy triumph, smiling like g
pretty witch.
"What on earth are you 1oing
here?" Mem cried.
"Going to Los Angeles with YOU.
I may never be great like you, but
I'm going to have a mighty good
time trying"
There were many questions to ex-
change and Mem soon learned that
her sister had flung off the chains
that one or two ardent lovers had
tried to fasten about her.
And when, with last faltering
reproach she asked her sister if she
were wise to toss aside the devo-
ton Of good man, Gladys laughed.
"Let love wait! The men have
kept US waiting for thousands OF
years, till they were ready. Now

And that was that.

children beset her with questions
| Gladys was particularly curiou:
and searching in her inquiries.
Then came the hour OF the thea
tergoing. Nobody had dared to ask
doctor Steddon if he would &C
company his family. He had mo-
made up his own mind. He dared
not.
The family tacitly assumed thai
his conscience or his pride forbade
him to appear in the sink in in
iquity he had so often denounced.
The family babe him good bye
and left him, but had hardly reached
the gate when he came pounding
after. He flung his arms about
Mems shoulders and cast off all
his offices except thar of father,
chuckling:
where my daughter goes is good
enough Cor me-"
He made almos; more of sem
sation in the theatre than Mem.
There was applause and cheering
and even a slow and awkward ris-
ing to the feet until the whole
packed auditorium was erect and
clamorous.
Seats of homer were reserved for
the great star and the family that
reflected her effulgence. AS soon
as they were seated the young
woman who failed the piano began
to batter the keys, and Mems lat
est picture began to flow down the
screen.
She could feel at her elbow the
rigid arm OF her father undergoing
martyrdom. She felt it vince as
her first closeup began to glow,
her huge eyes pleading to him in a
glisten of Superhuman tears. The
arm relaxed as he surrendered to
the wonder of her beauty. 1t tight

her, and she could hear his sigh OF
relief when she escaped one peril,
his gasp as she encountered an
other.

The old parson had to think it an

children up to bed and held Mem

livered his sermon:

America, the prehistoric Indian,
thought misshapen skull the high
est form of beauty. Skulls were
actually deformed in infancy and
despite the danger of such opera
tons these Indians lived to ripe
old age.
When some people today depsoFe
the modern woman's intense inter
est IN personal charm, they are
ignoring the fact that this interest
in beauty is an inheritance of wo-
man which has been handed down
to her for thousands and thousands
of years. AS for woman's right to
be interested in beauty culture, l
can only refer you to the Bible.to
the "Songs of Solomon" dated 1914
B. C. when Jehu was come to Jes-
reel, Jesebel heard of it, and she
painted her face and tidied her hair
and looked out of the window.
Certainly modern woman can do
no better than to follow the sage be-
havior of Jesebel.

KEEPING WAxED FLOOR IN CONDITION

ems wax and should never be used on
1t in any way. About once a week a
waxed floor should be given a more
thorough cleaning with cloth wrung
out of warm. soapy water, or moist
ened with turpentine or gasoline. APP
plying too much wax is a common
mistake. Rub white spots with a
wooden cloth or weighted brush, ap-
plying little wax If necessary. Keep
a slip-on cover on the weighted brush
when 1t is not In use. Never allow
it to come into contact with oil.
Vanished floors may be swept with
a soft brush, mop, or a broom COW
cred with a cotton-fannel bag, and
then rubbed with a Goth or mop
slightly moistened with floor oil or
kerosene. The oil gradually dries out
of varnish after it has been applied
to wood, and unless restored by an
occasional rubbing with an oiled cloth
the varnish becomes exceedingly hard
and brittle. Use only enough oil to
moisten slightly the cloth or mop.

DR.. CALDWELL'S
THREE RULES

DR.. Caldwell watched the results of
constipation for Al years, and believed
that no matter how careful people are
of their health, diet and exercise, con-
stipation will occur from time to time.
Of next Importance, then, is how to treat
it when it comes. DIR. Caldwell always
was in favor of getting as close to nature
as possible, hence his remedy for consti-
patton is a mild vegetable compound. It
can not harm the most delicate system
and is not habit forming.
The Doctor never did approve of dras-
tic physics and purges. He did not believe
they were good for human beings to put
into their system. Use Syrup Pepsin for
yourself and members of the family in
constipation, biliousness, sour and Granny
stomach, bad breath, no appetite, head
aches, and to break up fevers and colds.
Get bottle today, at any drugstore and
observe these three rules of health: Keep
the head cool, the feet warm, the bowels
open. For a free trial bottle, just write
