Your Health

TIME kind of treatment you should give your skin

If the skin is oily it requires totally different
method of cleaning from that tends to be dry
An oily skin can be dried easily by exposure to al
kane substances. IT, however, worker with an
oily skin happens to be garage mechanic or To-
connective oiler his occupation will tend to increase
the oiliess of his skin and he will have more diff
cult problem to keep dry.
On the other hand, there are persons who have
drv scalv skin resembling that of fish. T con-
dition is called ichthyosis from the word meaning
fish Their problem is to prevent their body surface
from becoming too dry.
DABIES have skins that are exceedingly delicate,
D dry and thin. and the same usually is given
to the skin of baby that ought to be given to the
skin OF persons who are very old.
The skin Of a baby should be oiled at least once
daily preferably with pure olive oil This is given
to the child as a cleansing bath.
Later, as the baby grows older, it may be washed
with a cooid solution like barley water, and finally
mild soap and water may be used. The soap should
be the kind that is superfatted, like an olive oil

If the skin responds badly to too much water a

MORE persons ask about the danger of wetting

Actually the scalp is more oily than the skin COW

it tends to collect dust other substances that fly

Therefore the scalp really requires cleaning more
often than most of the rest of the body. Daily
washing of the hair is not harmful However care
should be taken in picking the right soap for the
purpose.
If the skin is dry and the scalp also oily soap
may be used. The hair is moistened. then thick

experience That this conception of political expedi-

issue.
That Mr.. Roosevelt. in his turn, has repudiated
arily and with amazing cynicism the promise in his
platform to curtail the vast bureaucracy which
he condemned in Mr.. Hoovers Administration may
be conceded without affecting the case
At the time of the last conventions the country
had been haraSSed and bulled for 13 years by sue
ceeding of thieves and ecclesiastical buldozers,
a member of the United States Senate had been shot

brutal spectacle the whole CORY horror-the House
of Representatives had risen, almost masse, one
day to cheer the news that an innocent 17year-old
country boy hitch hiking in bootleggers car, had
been shot dead by a prohibition cop. That savage
outburst marked the turn.
To be sure as at all national conventions during

vanced on Chicago to vote dry managed to get

Three of the dumbeSt people

without the trace of smile.
The two things wrong with
America are finance and the
land. They've got us now where
all the producers of real wealth
are on one side of stream and
on the other are the millions who
need these things to eat and
wear-and the only way Of getting
them across to the people is by
golden boat. And that boat is
owned in Wall Street"
Then he went on: In this once
rich Middle West We'll have to limit
the size of farms to $50 acres. BY
high taxes we'll force the larger
farms to - broken up. And we'll
make it so tough on absentee
landlords that the man who tills
the soil will own the land.

But here in what once was stald

into words for me:
More than 40 per cent of Iowa
land is mortgaged at from $50 to
500 an acre-a grand total of
1924 100000. Some so per cent is
farmed by tenants. These tenants,
plus the debt-ridden farmers, offer
an unknown factor for the future.
Right now 80 per cent of all the
farmers of the state are behind
the three AS and there is no
chance of a third party next year.
But in 1910 these tenants and men
in debt will be potential third

Daguerre thought that nature should
take her own pictures and that light
could be made to record itself. He be-
gan many futile experiments, hunting
for chemical that would make pic
ture fortnight. For more than two
years he was recluse, shut in his lab
oratory and refusing to see even his
closest friends. He wanted to be the
one lucky enough 20 make the discov-
cry. One day, by queer occurrence.
he stumbled on the secret.
He had eaten his noon-day meal and
not waiting to wash his spoon, he
tossed 1t in one of his cupboards.
There was a metal plate coated with
iodine on the shelf and the silver spoon
lay on this until the next morning. The
young man opened the cupboard door
at breakfast time to get his spoon and
found clear picture of it on the metal
plate.
Immediately he began to coat more
plates with iodine of silver and then
followed the experiments which re-
suited in successful photography.
