things | saw made me very, very
happy. 7.
One manufacturer that | talked
to told me that the new line OF
toiletries he is launching on the
market at this time Is far better in
every way than he ever dreamed
he would put out! He went on to
say that to survive, the beauty in
dustry had to improve and to con-
tinue to improve all the time.
We American women have made
this necessary because we have
learned rapidly, by the reliable old
method Of trial and error, that in
the past many preparations did not
bring about the results claimed
for them. And, after trying out
the preparation and having il fail,
we refused 10 buy again.
Such a condition was not en-
tirely the fault of manufacturers
because the growth OF the industry
was so rapid no one could keep
ID with il. But the complaints
caused investigation and soon
every intelligent manufacturer
knew that the field Of beauty cul-
ture was a. complex as banking.
Worthy manufacturers then OBJ
tanned the services Of doctors and
scientists with the result that
millions of dollars have been spent
in research work during the past
few years.
All this would never have come
about. however, if large numbers
OF women had not used those first
preparations. How could anyone
assume that cleansing creams
should be of three types, normal.
dry and oily. unless sufficient
women used them 10 note the
varied reactions that come from
using one cream for three differ
ent types Of skin?
When women found that an oily
cleansing cream aggravated an oily
skin they complained until they
made themselves heard by the
manufacturers. The latter in turn
took heed because if they are to
survive they must not only meet
the demands of their buyers, but
they must have them return for
more products. This the American
woman Of today will not do unless
she is able TO get preparations that
give her the service she IL prom
ised and for which she has paid.
Scientific experiments during
the past few years are launching
revolutionary preparations, but
ones that will be Of real value.
Therefore | urge every one of you
70 look far and investigate thor
oughly before buying.

Almost every contagious disease begins with

In the early stage of contagious diseases you

Take no chances, but keep the child apart from
others to protect them from the contagion.
A child should be taught to cover the mouth
