Blemishes and other skin imper- factions often are caused by poor circulation and improper diet. Any girl with chronic complexion ail- ments should see her doctor, but ono who has nothing organically wrong and who wishes to have smooth, healthy skin, a pleasant disposition and a certain vivacity should watch her health habits. If your feet and hands are cold & good deal of the time, the chances are that your circulation is bad. Sallowness is another in- dication. A warm foot bath, fol- lowed by an alcohol rub, is an ex- cellent temporary cure for cold feet, but exercise, fresh air and a sensible diet are more permanent remedies.

New Treatment Aids Deafness

New York (UP)--A new aid for deafness has been discovered, which makes 1t possible for suf- ferers to improve their hearing themselves by means of simple breathing and muscular exercise. In the great majority of cases deafness is due to catarrhal condi. tions, according to experts, and the obstruction of passages leading to the ear, which prevent the proper functioning Of the delicate mechanism of hearing. This is known as middle ear deafness. By slsilfaily exercising the muscles of the pharynx the circulation of the blood is qnickened and the affected parts reyitalized. Even if this type of deafness be deep seated and chronic, the results are said to be highly gratifying. The new treat- ment has been devised by Henry Geiger, voice specialist of long experience in cultivafing the voices of gingeye and apeakergs

By MARY MARGARET MCBRIDE NEA Service Stan Corrcspondcnt New York--The living room O. 1885 can be furnished for as little as $100. if you know how to plan. It has plain walls, plain floor c0v- ering, a predominance of adjust able and built-ins furniture and Is more comfortable than any living room in history has ever been, as well as freer of gew gaws and dust catchers. It gets its effects through longer straighter line, brighter color and the texture of its woods and fabrics.
 In short, simplicity having had its way with every other room in the house, has at last taken pos- session of the one that everybody uses most.
 Movable furniture is more and more being built in units so that divan, for instance, can become comfortable chair or bed at Q moments notice; also the design CTS have taken thought for the housewife and done away with legs and the superfiuous carvings that are so difficult to clean. Book cases, cupboards and chests | are built in to meet the needs o1 every member of the family, ant families needs are particularly complex just now because all th' fresh interests that each member is constantly acquiring. Arm chair have convenient broad arms fol resting books and other objects I End tables have extra shelves ant drawers for convenience. Lamp are placed more carefully than eve before.
 One interesting decorative effec that has taken a hold on the. mod ern living room is the tendency t, treat each of the four walls diff ferently or to have at least tw' kinds of treatment. Sometimes, 10 instance, two walls are painte, and two are papered in the sam or contrasting colors. Pictures ar hung almost like murals to mak ,l a unit, no longer spotted here an there. < ..,.e-..
