No beauty-quester should be

Stale air means a stagnanC
complexion, one that is not
roseated with healthy color.
Lungs need daily air-washing,
which can't be had indoors no
matter how well the house is
ventilated. Rainy atmosphere IS
meat, drink and lodgings to the
complexion, which loves cold
moisture. Housekeepers, espe-
cially need a daily walk, even
though they hoof it round the
family domicile pretty much Of
the time. Outdoor exercise
freshens the spirits.
Not all teeth and gums will
endure a toothbrush of heavy
bristleS. II gums are pale and
bleed easily, 1t is best to use q
brush that is fairly soft. Manip-
ulate the briStles away from
the gums, which need friction
