IFE is a lottery, marriage is a gamble and
so there is safety in drawing as many num-
bers as possible. That is just the idea
back of the philosophy of the average bachelor
and is his pet justification. But who can blame
him for enjoying the companionship of the mod
ern girl who has learned to distinguish between
good comradeship and a more personal interest,
and can divorce friendship from slushy senti-
ment. Whether she be plain or beautiful, blonde
or brunette, brilliant or Just average, the modern
girl has mastered the art Of being, above all
things, a pal, with a healthy outlook on life and
a keen desire to make it as fine a thing as she
possibly can.
And so our bachelor goes through life, finding
JOY and happiness in the friendship Of the splendid

may expect to cure the eczema.
The local treatment for infants
and adults Is about the same.
There are many persons who have
sensitive skins. In such cases moth
ing but the purest water. such as
distilled water. should be used, or
water softened by the use OF borax.
The mildest soaps should be used.
In eczema the thick crusts which
form may be removed by using a
poultice made OF boracic acid and
starch. Make IL into a paste by mix
ing four tabiespoonfuls OF starch and
one-hak tablespoonful OF boracic acid
with a little cold water. Stir until
the powders r. dissolved. Then pour
on one-haf pint or more OF boiling
water and stir briskly. When cool
spread a little on gauge or thin. clean
cloth and apply. After a few hours
the crusts will be softened and the
poultice car be removed without irri-
tating the tender skin.
For the distressing itching which
comes with eczema. ordinary baking
soda and water will relieve II in 4
solution for outward application.
One tablespoonful OF hyposulphite OF
soda 70 a quart Of water makes an
excellent solution for outside appli-
cation.
Your doctor should direct the in
ternal medication and the right diet
for you. You should help yourself TO

as plenty Of sleep and rest. These

A Facial for

When the Summer Sun Tends

Draft This Beauty Aid.
BY Josephine Huddleston

A T various times during the

ing beauty articles / have
printed the formula and routine for
the epson salts facial. Therefore
it is not new to many Of you. But
as so often happens, we must bear
in mind the new followers who
Joined the fold since the last dis
cussion of this treatment. Those
Of you who are familiar with Il will
want Jul new friends to know
about it so that they, too, can
profit by its use.
During the extreme heat OF the
Summer the enlarged pore situation
frequently becomes acute, largely
because OF the increased flow OF per
spiration and oils which are sti.nu-
lated into greater activity at this
season. And If the Epson salts facial
had nothing else to recommend II
but its astringent value, that would
make II a valuable hot weather
facial.
