BEAUTY CHATS By EDNA KENT FORBES
Face Packs.

Face Packs,
Iswant to describe . couple OF "face
packs" one for cleansing and one for
wrinkles.
Neither is done with mud. or any
sort Of clay. I see no reason for using
this sort Of thing on the skin; some
shops can combine it with q lot of
cold creams and such to overcome the
drying effects of the stuff; even so, In
my opinion, 1t has little or no value
an opinion shared by many eminent
skin specialists.
The cleansing pack thenl Rub the
face with almond oil, wipe on with an
old towel, or else cleansing tissues,
which are so good for saving the
household linen!-then wash of with
moderately hot water and q mild soap
such as CASTLE. Hold towel or cloth
wrung from hot water over the face
for q full two minutes, and at once,
while the skin Is moist and the pores
open, cover the face thickly with
cleansing cream. II possible lie down
few mtnutes-anyway. let the cream
stay on quarter of an hour. Wipe
of most Of 1t, rub piece Of ice over
the face for q minute or so, wipe OF
the rest of the cream and use powder.
The egg face mask is for wrinkles.
Cleansing cream first, and wipe It of.
Cream again, for Q more thorough
cleansing. and wash this with just
oilinesS from the skin. Then, take
some Of the white Of an egg, mix it
with its own amount Of water and
spread this thickly over the face. AS

Chalk and Double Chalk.

This is the last time I'll try for an
answer. never fail to read all Of your
articles and suggestions. It is about q
year since asked the following and
have not seen any answer in your COLI
umn. Have taken calcium carbonate
for three months, 10 grains. VIII con-
tinued use be advisable? q. Z. HI
Answer--Calcium carbonate Is other
wise known as prepared chalk or precip-
itated chalk. It Is good anti-acid for
excessive acidity of the stomach, prefer
able to soda (saleratus, sodium bicar-
bonate) for this purpose. I do not adj
wise habitual use of such alkalies. How
ever, II you're bound to take anything
for acid, heartburn, ETC., chalk is the
least Objectionable remedy.
Banging on Tin.
Ding away about the schools A great
work you are doing is the arousing Of
the public to the realization that some
Of the nonsense should be cut out of
the common school instruction and our
children taught something about food
values, infant care and feeding and the
other vital things In hygiene. If could
have had the advantage of your teach
ings when I was young, my whole life
might have been different. (Mrs. G. 81
Answer.-I'm glad to know that q
parent approves my olItlandish effort to
humanize the common school curricu-
lum. If were made grand morul of
education In this Nation the first rule
should enforce would be this: Every
child shall have 10 years of school, no
more and no less, and satisfactory COM
pletion of the 10 years of common
school study shall admit to any college
or university without other requirement.
The present system permits many q
moron or moral delinquent to buy his
way into college and out, and then the
system gives the colleges good chance
to bid for athletic recruits. These
abuses, not to mention worse evils, APP
pear to thrive In college or university
life. Therefore I favor shortening the
terms of those sentenced to stretch
in college or university; we might well
begin with the medical course, which Is
just about twice too long now.
Eye Water.
Is salt water good for the eyes? II
not, what do you advise to use for bath.
ing the eyes? Oh. j. W.
Answer.-Plain water smarts and irri-
tateS the eyes. The addition o. q
rounded teasponful of common salt to
the pint of boiled water gives the water
approximately the saline strength Of
the tears and makes it less irritating.
But no such wash is good for the eyes
particularly. do not advise washing
the eyes, unless there Is some particular
trouble, and in that case the physician
will prescribe the proper medicine. The
tears are the best wash for the eyes,
normally. There is common notion
that boric acid solution "a teaspoonfi1l
of boric acid in the pint of boiled wa
teri Is somehow good" for the eyes.
It isn't. It is merely mild and COM
paratively non-irritating antiseptic So

Your Baby and Mine


| Mothers undecided about the variety
Of food which may be given the baby
Of one year will find some valuable sug-
gestions in the outline Of this healthy
baby's day.
May have your adviceP" asks Mrs.
II. j. w. Son is a year old and
weighs rs pounds. At months he had
four teeth and weighed 10 pounds. The
doctor put him on a ree-meal-a-day
diet and he has had that ever since.
"Breakfast--Two to three ounces of
orange Juice. Six tablespoons Of oat-
meal or cream of wheat. Six ounces
of dried milk
"Lunch-Two to three ounces of beef
broth. Six tablespoons of sieved vege-
tables-carrots, cabbage, peas or string
beans. Six ounces Of dried milk for
mula.
Might meal-Six tablespoons Of
stewed fruit such as peaches, pears, APP
Piles or apricots, his six ounces of dried
milk formula and some dessert such
as jello. junket or cup custard His
hours are 1880, 1880 and $50 o'clock,
al he gets no food at any other times.
He sleeps from z to o'clock and takes
two maps daily of about an hour each.
II would like to change to fresh milk.
He doesn't care for the beef broth and
wonder if I could discard this, and
can I stop sieving the vegetables? Also
must I continue to boil his drinking
water? Shall give cod liver Oil this
Winter? How? How about eggs, ba-
con and chopped meat? I read your
column daily and find your answers to
other readers have many times solved
my own problems"
Baby is being beautifully fed, Mrs.
H. j. w. You need not worry about
the difficulty of changing from dried to
fresh milk. Give one cup feeding OF
fresh cows milk (grade A pasteurized
milk from an ordinary cow, and not
one giving too rich milk, and In
week give another cup feeding in place
Of another bottle feeding.
You may discard the plain soup (to
me this is valueless unless 1t contains
vegetables) since baby gets plenty OF
the vegetables in his diet. Try them
unsieved and if they are not too laxi-
tive for him, you may continue just
MASKING them finely.
If your water supply is the usual
good one in cities, you need not boil
the water any longer. Cod liver oil
Is in order this Winter. or one OF the
irradiated ergosterols. Do not overdose,
and don't forget that sunshine is neces-
sary too. Our feeding. leaf1et gives di-
rections for giving cod liver oil. 1r-
radiated ergosterols must be advised and
doses suggested by doctor.
Eggs and finely chopped meats are
both quite all right in the menu of the
year-old child. We offer also a leaflet
called, weeks Menu for the Child
From One to Two Years." which Is very
helpful in balancing the diet properly.
A self-addressed, stamped envelope will
bring one, or both of these leaflets to
any interested reader.

September Diets.

Any one who is reducing can most
easily overcome the possible acid eff
fects of eating too much fruit and too
many green vegetables by using tooth
paste twice day made with milk Of
magneSia, and by taking q teaspoon Of
milk of magnesia last thing at night,
using 1t as q mouth rinse, and then
swallowing it. Its alkaline taste may
not be pleasant, though at that many
people like it. But after q minute. that
extremely nat taste becomes sweet and
every one likes 1t.
This Is enough to counteract o lot Of
Acidity In the mouth and the stomach,
and 1t is q salvation for any one VINO
has an acid mouth, since it helps pre-
serve the teeth and makes your dentist
bills much less It Is also slightly laxa-
tive. which is no special advantage II
you are on diet that consists mostly
Of fruit and vegetables. But you must
arrange your diet, of course, so it Is
not too laxative and not too acidy.
merely advise milk of magnesia as
something Invaluable for these late
Summer days and. in fact, for any time
of the year. w
Now about the diet itself. Certain
vegetables are more acid than others,
and you should know which ones to eat
most and which to eat only occasional
ly to avoid as much acid as possible.
Tomatoes, Of course, are fun Of acid:
many people cannot eat them ut al, or
II they do, they break out IN red spots
all over the face. Salad. on the whole,
Is acidy, mostly because it is eaten
with either an oil and vinegar dressing
or rnayonnaise which Is largely lemon
Juice or vinegar. Spinach. so good for
many ailments and so easy to digest,

81 MIMI.
It's That Way.

Dear Mimi: For seven years I've
shaved like a dog to help my husband
get ahead and save money. I've cooked,
washed, lroned and scrubbed so he
would not have to spend money on q
servant. I've been faithful to him and
always tried to do my duty. Now he's
well on and seems to have no more
use for me. He never stays home nights
II he can get away. He's always talking
OF the good looks and good clothes Of
other women. He never asks me to
dinner or show, and I'm 20 and like
a good time. Don't you think it unfair
when have shared his bad years not
to be good enough for the prosperous
ones? Is there anything can do? !
still love him and can't bear to lose
him"
Buy yourself bunch of new clothes,
starting with underwear and proceeding
to evening gowns. Include at least one
frtlly feminine neglige. Do not buy
anything that might be classed as
durable" Select only the sheer, the
lacy, the perishable, for they are the
things men like.
Before dressing up in your new
clothes, make an appointment at the
best available beauty parlor for a COM
plete treatment-hair, facial, nails. Seek
advice as to how to overcome your bad
points and accentuate your good ones.
Last on the list, engage a thoroughly
competent cook and maid. Then 60
home, dress yourself up-and give
friend husband the shock of his life!
OF course, these suggestions are for
superficial improvement. But they are,
none the less, important. Gradually
you will recapture the mood to match
your new exterior.
Read, see plays, hear music. Get
something to talk about besides the
high cost of eggs and what the neighbor
next door said that morning. Make q
study of charm.
A man may be homely, minus taste,
and without any of the social graceS,
but so long as he Is clean, kind and
generous his wife will not complain. A
man, however, wants his wife to be
attractive, credit" to him. She is a
sort Of walking advertisement of his
success, and he likes to parade her for
the edification of his fellows.
From your letter I judge you have
lost sight of this male eccentricity.
You've devoted yourself to his creature
the wiles and Establishments that would
hold him In spite of the sirens song.
A heart of gold, a treasure of tender
ness, loyalty and devotion, and life
time Of sacrifice do not suffice. Your
husband and every other man wants
charm. There is no fairness to it
that's just the way 1t is.
If you wish help with your problems,
write to the author.
