bear with me until you hear what I have to say today.
I have written many articles on this subject, but
fully into it today. And, while repeating the
glories Of what a real "scrubbing' will do for the
skin and telling you how to perform the miraculous
feat of Transforming dull, lifeiess skin into the sort
that poets and painters rave about, I'm going to add
the formula for a new cleasing preparation to aid
you in the attainment Of feminine loneliness.
The daily tub is, Of course, important. 1t not
only keeps the skin alive and glowing with health,
but it gives one a feeling of well-being and lowell
ness that is essential to charm. The average daily
bath, however, is not sufficient to thoroughly
cleanse the pores Of all impurities.
We can't take the following detailed bath each
day, and, indeed it isn't necessary, but such a bath
or "scrubbing" should be taken at least every week.
The bathub should be about two-thirds full OF
moderately warm water. To this add one handful

.RASKOB CONFERRING
WITH LEADERS HERE

John j. Rasbob. chairman Of the
Democratic national committee, Is in
Washington today comforting with DEM
ocratic leaders. He said that late today
he would make an announcement OF
importance to the Democratic party.
Chairman Raskob has been at work
on the liquidation of the Democratic
deficit from the last campaign, amount
ing to 81 100000 In some quarters it
was believed that his announcement
today would show that this debt has
practically been underwritten. In any
event, it waS said, the statement would
show that the Democratic party Is any
thing but dead.
The appointment Of Chairman Ras-
kob at the request of former Gov. Smith
of New York, Democratic nominee for
President, as head OF the Democratic
national organization. was criticized by
many Democrats of the South. There
has been talk about demand for the
resignation of Mr.. RaSkob. 1t has been
generally understood. however. that Mr..
Raskob would continue to head the
Democratic organization, at least until
plans have been completed for taking
care of the Democratic deficit. After
such plans have been made it has been
limited that Mr.. Raskob might step out
of the national committee.
