THEBEAUTY

BY Helen FOllett-

Many nervous cases that fiji
sanitariuns are the result Of lack
Of balance, or a sick spirit. What
these poor unhappy women need
is to know that life 10 not to be

worried about. Life 10 to be lived
actively, glorioualy. splendidly.
Many beauty Ills are the penalty
of fear ana anxiety. Unpleasant
emotions dull the eye, produce
pallor Of the skin, and interfere
with nutrition.
Ordinary top cream from the
bottle of milk that the milknan
leaves 10 q soothing application
for sunburn. In fact, any oily
substance is helpful. The burn
ing Of the sun is like any other
burn, and can prove not only
painful. but dangerous to the
health. Applications Of baking
soda and water are healing.
Enlarged pores are due largely
to poor circulation and improper
diet. The daily scrubbing Of the
entire body with soap, warm
water and a heavy brush is Of
benefit, because 1t stimulates the
work Of the pores, and there is
less OF the skin poisona to be
sent away through the sensitive
pores ON the face. Laving with
eau de cologne is recommended.
Eat green vegetables, salads and
lean meats and drink six glasses
Of water q day.
A bunion is a partial disloca-
ton OF the big toe. 1t IL caused
by wearing shoes that are too
narrow. and which push the toe
inward. Place a pad Of cotton
between the big toe and the next
one. forcing the big toe into its
proper place. Skilled surgeons
operate and correct this trouble.

bonbons, taken in excess can cause

The chemist has already produced

A mixture OF iron filings and pure
carbon is hquefied in an electric
furnace to a minimum tempera-

10 times hotter than ordinary fire.
The melted contents then are
