Use Cosmetics Subtly

IN SPITE of the many millions Of
L dollars spent annually on cosmetics,
the number of women who have never
known the enhancing effect of rouge
or powder is staggering.
And they do not constitute back
woods people or those "out=on-the-
farm" far away from civilization,
Right in our big cities you will find
them. Some still cling TO the ultra
conservative and ultra-old-fashioned
idea that it is sinfully wrong to use a
bit of rouge.
These women have to be educated to
the modern way of doing and the mod
ern way Of applying makeup.
The ar of makeup has passed
through many stages. The expert
mental stage when women applied SO
little, they failed to achieve the de-
sired effect; then the exaggerated
stage when they ruined the effect by
the other extreme.
But modern makeup methods
have, fortunately, achieved the hap
py medium. Rouge is delicately ap-
piled and blended to lend look of
natural bloom and health. The
color seems to come from beneath
the skin. A look of health and
beauty-it lends life to the face and
sparkle to the eyes.
Powder is not put on in pounds
not today. Its purpose is to give the
skin a touchdown, well-groomed look,
to put the finishing touch to a picture
of perfection.
And a lipstick gives the lips more
color and deftly used ii improves the
outline. One can wear lipstick with
out "tellng the world" 1t need not
be bold or obvious.
Modern makeup methods really
make women lovely. The function of
makeup is to give back to the skin
that natural, healthful glow which the
fast pace of modern living takes from
the skin.
If you are one of the thousands who
have not yet started to use makeup,
throw off the shackles of old-fashioned
ideas, get up enough courage to 90 TO
the best store in your vicinity. A ca
pable salesgirl can help you to choose
a rouge of good quality, proper texture
and consistency for you, shade to
match your skin. She can explain ex-
ictly how it should he blended, too.
All this applies TO powder also. You
can get fine quality rouge and pow
der for a nominal sum and the invest
ment will last over long time. So
much beauty for so little!

Don't Pasture Alfalfa

Alfalfa fields which have been re-
vived by late rains should not be pas
tured this fall unless there is foot
or more growth, advises South Da-
kota State college. Pasturing may
cause severe damage to the root sys-
TENS of alfalfa plants. The plants
should be allowed to go into the win
ter with good top growth so as to
store plant food in the roots for
vigorous growth next spring. In adj
dition to the plant food translocation,
a heavy growth holds snow and mod
ifies ground temperature enough to
prevent severe heaving and also in
creases moisture content of the soil.

EOR this perfectly good English

platter with single egg on it.
The head of the house took one look
at it and then began to roar in his
best manner. He demanded to know
why in the blue blazes he was served
with single egg. His butler, an old
retainer, told him frankly that he had
not in the memory of the oldest in
habitant eaten more than one egg and
that the cook undoubtedly had concen-
trated on cooking that one in the best
possible manner. The man roared
that he would have things cooked and
served in his own house as he gol-
dinged pleased and said to the butler:
"You go out there and tell that fat,

eggs and keep on poaching eggs, until

the man ate his egg, and then departed
hastily for his car, waiting to take him

Pretty soon his daughter appeared
for breakfast. Practically covering
the table were platters Of eggs. She
asked what it meant and the butler
explained. She asked how many eggs
the cook had poached and the butler
said he thought the count had reached
about three dozen, and that supplies
were running low. The daughter, who
was not in the slightest afraid of her
father, for all his roaring, smiled
wicked smile.
"Send out for more eggs" she said,
"and tell the Goes to keep right on fol-

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Between Meal Lunching.

MOTHERS are given to making ex-
treme statements. In their eyes
the wakeful baby never sleeps, the ap-
petlteless child never eats, the willful
child never obeys
Mrs. F. ]. has an eating problem In
her home. MY boy has no appetite at
all. He eats hardly anything I don't
see how he stays alive. He wants to run
and play all day and can hardly be
dragged in to meals. In spite Of this he
IS healthy, rosy and full of energy.
What shall do?"
First of all, find yourself a notebook
and each Gay enter In it honestly and
without bias every bite of food the child
consumes. Note the cookie. the half an
apple, the piece of gingerbread, the ice
cream Soda-all the things which you
are probably oVerlooking-and at the
end OF week sort them out into meals
and you'll probably find that the sum
total is full portion for the day. The
child who has no appetite and never
eats can hardly be rosy, healthy and
full OF energy. The picture is too dis
torted. What you probably mean is that
ne never eats at mealtimes
There are lots OF reasons for appetite
lessness. Fatigue, anemia, overfeeding
OF rich foods, feeding too often in the
day, or offering too many sweets may
apply to the baby on a bottle as well as
the runabout.
Some OF this appetitelessness is prob
ably chained tightly to the amount OF
attention the modern mother bestows
upon her childs diet 1t is admirable
and essential that she feed him ac-
cording to the right standards But
the emphasis upon the necessity for
eating SO much OF this or that de-
stroys something that is essential to a
good appetite. The adult neurotic who
puts his attention on every food he
eats, weighing its advantages and the
possibilities Of its disagreeing, grows
more and more dyspeptic. The child
who must eat every bite of cereal, drink
every drop Of milk and consume every
spoonful OF his vegetables comes TO
look upon food with distaste. The
business OF eating becomes a mo-
notonous ceremony inflicted upon him
by fussy parents.
The leaflet offered by this depart
ment called, Physical and Psyche
logical Reasons for Appetitelessness,"
should clear up for the parent, whether
1t Is Johnnys body that needs atten-
tion or his mind that needs distraction
from the duty of eating There is no
charge for this leaflet, but a Self-ad-
dressed, stamped envelope should be
sent with each request to Mrs. Myrtle
Meyer Eldred Of the Your Baby and
Mine" department Of this newspaper
Whenever a mother becomes obseSsed
with the idea that her child isn't eating
it is absolutely certain that her emphasis
upon food will sggravate the very con-
dition she is intent upon improving.
The only advice Mrs. F.. j. seems to need
is to stop worrying about food, make it
impossible for the child to eat except
at the table and let there be no talk
about it. Here is obviously one of those
children who eats on the run. 1t is
this habit that needs to be changed.
