Complexion Care.

Dear Miss Leeds-Please tell me how
to take care Of my skin both night and
morning My face has reddish tinge
due to little red blotcl1es and freckles,
and it is oily. with lot Of b'ackheads
and whiteheads. There are wrinkles and
puffiness under my eyes Some one ad-
vised me to use cleansing cream instead
of soap en- my face, but since doing so
my skin feels rough and sore.
A READER.
Auswer-Your wisest plan is to ask
your doctor whether the red blotches"
are some form of skin disease or mere
~ due to wrong local treatment. II the
latter is the case you should wash your
face with warm water and pure CASTLE
soap every night at bedtime Pinse in
clean warm water. Remove the black
heads with comedo expreSsor and open
the larger whiteheads with sterilized
needle
Gently press out the contents and APP
ply an antiseptic lotion. Peroxide will
do. Rinse your face in clean cold water,
dry carefully and spread on an acne
cream, or zinc ointment. Leave this on
overnight. Next morning wash your face
in cold water and dry carefully. Pat on
an astringent such as witch hazel.
In addition to these simple local
treatments be careful to keep your gen.
eral health at par. Avoid constipation.
Exercise daily. Walk four or five miles
day outdoors. Take warm cleansing
bath every night and give your body a
good, hard rundown with a coarse, dry
towel every morning. Consult an eye
specialist. Eye strain may be causing
the wrinkles. Pufiness under the eyes
often results from internal derange-
nlents: ask your doctor to examine you
and prescribe. LOIS LEEDS.
Peroxide Blonde.
Dear Miss Leeds-I bleached my hair

ers. How can overcome this streaked
effect? Please don't tell me to let my
hair become its natural color, which is
light brown. want permanent wave.
BUNNIE.
Answer see that you know the cor
rect solution to your problem. but you
do not want to accept it. There is no
way under the sun by which you can
prevent your hair growing in dark at
the roots. If you are determined to re-
main peroxide blonde you must have
your hair retouched with peroxide at
the roots and underneath at regular in
tervals. Do not use the bleach over the |
ends of hair that have already been |
robbed Of their natural color but con- |
fine the retouching to the new growth |

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO


Every one is crank on something.
We pride ourselves on being liberal and
open-minded so long as our pet theme
is not involved One man is crank
on religion, another on the single tax,
another on base ball, another on smok-
ing or drinking. There is no end to
the number and nature of the things
that will attract person strongly
enough to make him crank on the
subject.
This amounts to a hobby. What the
hobby is to the recreational life, the
object of our fanaticism is to the in
tellectual and emotional life. Most peo
pie have single predominating inter-
est, a certain project that they have
seemingly married and no law of man
or God can divorce them.
Still another way of regarding the
situation is to say that we are all born
reformers. We enjoy the thrill of
fathering cause and seeing it grow to
maturity. 1t appeals to our creative
sense.
The curious part is that while we de-
light to reform others We hate to be re-
ing end Of this reform proposition is no
fun at all. This is humiliating, and no
one wants to be Inundated. AS some
one has observed, There is no person
we more assiduously avoid than the one
whose eye glitters with the unalterable
intention to bring little sunshine into
our lonely lives"
Prejudice and the sense of Importance
are the ma or motives back of fanati-
cism. Ignorance also plays part. The
worst type Of fanatic is the ignorant
fellow. who believes himself a crusader
in a holy cause, one who mistakes his
fears and his egotism for the voice of
God.
Some matters We accept so implicitly
that we dare not argue about them.
We take them for granted and defend

particles of food furnish good media for
fungus growths. such as yeasts and BAG
terra, and they multiply very rapidly,
especially If the mouth is long open
and the saliva, which Is antiseptic to a
greater or lesser degree. is lessened.
A great deal more attention used to
be paid to the simple coating of the
tongue than Is nowadays, although, OF
course, in intestinal and other disorders
the tongue will more readily become
coated; perhaps because the saliva has
lost some of its antiseptic quality. The
tongue should be cleaned when the
teeth are brushed, especially in the
morning and before retiring. This can
be done with little piece of whalebone
or similar article. you can buy tongue
scrapers at the drug store.) Just be
careful not to use it SO roughly that 1t
irritates.
Cleaning the tongue with the tooth
brush is difficult and may make you

Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

March 26, 1859.-Discouraging reports
were brought to the city today by the
Potomac River fishermen, who supply
the local markets with early Spring
fish. They declare that the shad are
rapidly falling of in quantity. The
supply has fallen off to such an extent,
according to some reports, that those
who fish with gill nets are catching
practically nothing at all.
Two vessels which came up today
from the lower river brought each only
about 200 shad. To catch even this
small number five or six gill nets were
employed for whole day. Whether
this is only a temporary condition or is
an indication that shad are being per-
manently reduced in numbers in the
Potomac River is matter for much
speculation among fishermen and mar
ket dealers.
The City Council has at last taken
notice of the unsightly condition of the
present Center Market house. 1t now
seems likely that the Council will soon
take steps which will lead to the cree
ton Of a new market house on the
present site-one that will be more
creditable TO the city.
The present Center Market, situated
so prominently facing Pennsylvania
avenue at Seventh street, has long been
an eyesore to the people Of the National
Capital. Numerous efforts have been
made in the past to improve it, but they
have all come to naught.
The Center Market question" is one
which seems never to be settled. It is
always turning up in some new form
One reason for this state of affairs is
that every time the question is raised
opposing interests clash as to the loca-
ton Of new market house, with the
result that nothing whatever is accom-
plished.
The several markets of Washington
are mostly occupied by licensed deal
ers, who reside within short distances
of the market houses, and buy their
stock from the farmers in nearby sec
tons of Maryland and Virginia. The
licensed dealers are allowed to sell In
two markets, paying for that privilege
SIS year. In addition to the license
fee they are required to rent a stall at
each market place for the display OF
their goods. The country dealers, most
OF whom sell direct frout their wagons.

them against all corners in season and
out. If you want to make sure whether
you are crank, watch yourself, to see
how often you work an idea overtime
These ideas are usually tinged with
emotional bias.
Being a crank or a fanatic is the
result of fear combined with prejudice
and some strong association that is usu-
ally a sentiment or complex.
