Beauty Counsel
BY DONNA GRACE

We have often observed that
skin eruptions such as acne are
more common among the boys
and girls before and during ado
leScence.
Skin specialists say 1t is dis
tinctly a surface infection, but
those who are in a low state of
health and lack vitality are more
likely to be afflicted with these
blemisheS than are the young per
sons in good health.
When the pores become clogged,
there is always danger Of infec.
ton from the black specks or
blackheads, and this will often re-
suit in a pimple. When the con.
dition persists for any length of
time, it may involve and weaken
the surrounding tissues and cause
chronic infection which they
call acne.
The family physician knows
how to prescribe for the trouble,
but for home treatments, the first
and most important is cleanliness.
The face must be kept Surgically
clean, but always guard against
bruising or squeezing q sensitive
skin.
When there is an inflamed con-
dtion, there must be no massag-
ing or manipulation Of the tissue
The Washington times., 1936-01-03

Afor fear of spreading the infec-
ton. Do not touch the face with
the hands at any time. This rule
should be observed even when
there are no skin blemiSheS.
Scrub the face thoroughly but
very gently with a creamy soap
lather; then rinse thoroughly, and
after that sponge well with cot
ton pads dipped in solution Of
boric acid. After patting the skin
dry, dust lightly with boric acid
powder.
The following formula is one
that has been used successfully
for a long time:
Powdered Tragacanth ..... $50
Sulphur Precipitated ...... 800
Spirits of Camphor ...... 500
Pure Alcohol ............ 500
Water to Make ..........1 100. 90
This will make 4-ounce mix
ture.
The powdered tragacanth and
sulphur are first mixed with the
spirits of camphor and alcohol.
Then the water is stirred in until
the mixture is smooth. The drug
giSt understands how it is done.
This may be applied twice daily.
Shake the bottle; then use thin
little pad of absorbent cotton to
pat it on.

NoodleRin6
PleaSes

An economy dish for your meat
less dinner is rather difficult to
decide on. Noodle ring has a de-
licious taste and will appeal to
masculine members of the house
hold. If you decide to incorporate
it into the menu, wisely save this
recipe so you will have 1t for
your market order and for quick
preparation.
Noodle Ring
y pound broken egg noodles
" cups milk
/ cup soft bread crumbs
tablespoons butter
l tablespoon chopped (fine) onion
y teaspoon salt
"a teaspoon pepper
minced pimento
large tabla pooh green pepper
or parsley
"a teaspoon paprika
3 eggs
"a pound mild cheese (more can
be used if desired)
Cook noodles in boiling salt
water for 10 minutes. Drain.
place in well-buttered ring mold
or pan. Heat milk, stir in cut
cheese, butter. bread crumbs and
seasonings. Stir over hot water
until cheese meltS, add to beaten
eggs and pour over noodles.
Place dish in hot water, bake in
moderate oven for As minutes.
Test as for custard.
If it is desired to serve this
from the table and it is baked
in a ring mold, the center can
be filled with any number Of diff
ferent savory Filings. Dreamed
dried beef is good, as is creamed
tuna fish, salmon, chicken, or
shrimp. Tuna fish is effective
because this dish, with noodles
and cheese, is a starchy one and
light meat is desired. Nothing
else but a green salad is needed
and a fruit dessert. Celery curlS
or celery hearts and ripe olives
are good instead of a salad ard
for dessert ice cold apricots with
hot coffee is a happy choice.

3D."
1t is entirely proper for CIR
to spend a weekend or q visit Of
any other length of time with the
family of her fiance. provided
that the mother of the home, OF
whoever is the hostess of the
home, sends the girl a direct in
vitation. That is, the girl should
not even consider accepting ar
indirect invitation, given to hel
by her fiance.
If the direct invitation hasn't
been given or doesn't seem to be
forthcoming, it is entirely correct
for her to say to her fiance, "I'd
love to go for this visit, Bob, If il
would be entirely convenient fol
your mother. Do you think that
she would mind writing me to
tell me if she would like to have
me come, and If it would be con
venient for her and the family?"
1t isn't necessary" for the
fiance to give gifts to the mem
bers of his fiancee's family. but
he will undoubtedly wish to make
some generous gestures of this
friendly and thoughtful kind. It
would seem niggardly of him
never to send flowers or candy or
books or something of this kind
to her home as family gift. He
probably also will wish to make
more personal gifts on occasions
that call for more personal gifts,
Friendship Ring"
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Recently I received a friend,
ship ring. Will you please tell me
on which finger the ring should
be worn? 1 believe that it should
be worn on the fourth finger of
the left hand. Is this correct?
IN"
There aren't any definite rules
about friendship rings and on
which finger to wear them. Often
they are worn on the small finger.
But they should never be worn on
"the" finger of the left hand, the
third finger (not counting the
thumb, since this might be inter
preted that the friendship ring is
an engagement ring.

fooled round with girls q little,
and paid no attention to this lady.
"She never reminded me of my

When a lady takes that tack,
I'm afraid there's no winning her
back. You'll have to charge this
up to experience and, the next
time you go counting, don't drink
or play around with other girls
while you're going steady" with

DINNER JACKET
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:.

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Joe"
No, white tie is never wori
with a Tuxedo suit. A white eve
ming tie is a formal tie and is
therefore appropriate with formal
evening clothes, the tail-coat. A
black evening tie is an informal
tie, and is worn, therefore, with
informal evening attire, the din
ner jacket, Tuxedo suit. But a
white waistcoat is sometimes worn,
and correctly, with a Tuxedo suit.

To look your best and be con
scious of it is good medicine,
and it is for this reason that
beauty parlors in insane asylums
have worked wonders among the
women patients.
st. Elizabeths, the great Gov
eminent institution in Washing
ton, which cares for 5,343 in
sane patients and employs 1,7OO
men and women to look after
them, has had splendid results
from its beauty parlorS.
DR.. william A. White. one OF
the worlds most eminent PSYCHE
artists, who is in charge Of this
institution. said to me:
"The beauty parlOr repre-
sentS an effort to individual
lie the patient-tO make her
feel that she is a person In
stead of . number"
Be Cheerful
And he went on to say that in
the old days RECOMMENDATION was
the method of caring for the
mentally ill-clipped hair, blue
Bingham gown and food like
everyone's else food, piled high
on plates, without respect to
appetite or tastes.
Such treatment results in the
loss of personality-and person
atty is the inner flame which
lights us on our way.
Is it any wonder, then, that
the beauty parlor has become
one of the worlds greatest in
dustries? To look your best puts
you on good terms with your
self and the world, generally
speaking. 1t does away with the
well-known inferiority complex.
And the wireless" before re-
ferred to sends out messages of
cheer. People like to have you
around. 1t helps to put your
personal stock up to or beyond
par.
Cheer is the greatest of assets.
If you go to your job feeling in
ferior or unimportant, you will
not be among those slated for a
raise Of salary. The same Is true
of a party.
Way Of Folly
Fits of blues in the little
woman at home drive more hus-
bands to seek the society of some
one more lively at luncheon, than
Just pure cuSsedness.
So many married women have
nothing, really, to be melancholy
about, and if permanent or a
facial will lift them out of their
depression. it is money well spent.
If you're given to being down
hearted, do something to snap
out Of it before your own destruc-
tive mood has communicated it.
self to everyone about you--espe-
cially your husband.
Whatever else you may indulge
yourself in, in the way of folly,
don't let yourself feel inferior and
frustrated around your home.
That, my dear sister, is contagious.

Mackenzie died in Milwaukee
County General Hospital last

crackup during the race program
at the Wisconsin State Fair here

MacKenzie'S car turned over

the first lap of the 25-mile feature
race. Attempting to cut in close
to the rail, MacKenZie'S right rear
wheel locked with the left front
