To Rid Skin
Of Chronic
Blackheads
S oap and tie r
Treatments Are
Effective.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.


A VERY large percentage of skin
complaints falls under excess oili-
ness and blackheads. So many seem
to be troubled with oiliness on chin,
nose and forehead. And invariably
these lament that blackheads are
parking permanently around the wings
o. the nose and often on the back, be-
tween the shoulder blades.
The questions are: Shall I use
cream? Shall I use oil? How can
get rid of the blackheads quickly and
permanently?
Forego the use of cream and oil for
while If your skin is covered with
blackheads. Particularly if yours Is
the oily type of skin; and most skins
troubled with blackheeds are Of that
type. One rarely sees large pores or
blackheads in skin that is very dry.
Soap and water scrubbing, thorough
rinsing in lukewarm and finally cold
water dash is a fine treatment for
blackheads. This treatment Is the
logical one to cut excess oiliness, too.
The skin may be bit sensitive to
the increased number of daily soap
and water. scrubbings and may begin
to flake or peel a bit. But that doesn't
matter, because when the blackheads
are gone it is easy enough to coax the
fakes to shed more quickly by mas.
saying with cream, and in no time
you will have smooth new coat.
How quickly and permanently can
blackheads be done away with? That
depends upon how stubborn they are
and how successful you are not only
in extracting them, but more impor-
tant in getting at the root of the
trouble.
In the case of oiliness and black
heads the right treatment really be-
gins from within. First, make sure
that elimination is regular That is
very important. Constipation may
account for a multitude of complex
ion difficulties. Get enough fresh air
and outdoor exercise. drink your full
share of water, see that your diet in
cludeS enough fruits and vegetables,
avoiding fats, oily foods. fried stuffs,
rich desserts. Simple, wholesome foods
are best. Try limiting your diet to
them and the chances are you will
hasten the skin-clearing process. Rest
is important, too. Get enough sleep.
And avoid fl tigue as you would a
contagious disfase.
am often asked whether black
heads should De squeezed out. My
answer is yes. Scrub the skin so that
it is scrupuloU7ly clean, then cover
the fingertips With tissue and press
lightly. If the Llackhead is particu-
larly stubborn cave it for another
day. Don't pres so hard as to bruise
or break the skin. But unless you
extract the blackheads you cannot
remove it. After it is removed, touch
the skin with an antiseptic lotion,
alcohol or peroxide. to guard against
infection and also to close the pores.
My health rules, general balanced
diet and exercises are essential aids
in proper care of the skin. Send self
addressed, stamped (3-cent) envelope
for them.

A S SOON as the days get really
~ warm We feel the need Of
~ cooler lingerie as well as
4 a cooler frocks. Crepe and
satin nighties are carefully laundered
and laid away for next season and
filmy sheers take their place. Thin
cottons are cool, too, and can 60 into
the general laundry without the extra
care and attention required for more
delicate materials.
Foundation garments are more
cobwebby and undies more brief than
ever. Little lace 8-inch girdles are
being shown with two bones in the
front and satin lastex sides. They
have the fiat garters and are adorable
at 81. Combinations of hsh-colored
voile and lastex make excellent Sum-
mer girdles also, and come in l3-
inch length.
We found a new three-way bra of
closely woven net that is marked for
a successful Summer season. The
shoulder straps have snap fastenings
on the end and may be arranged in
halter fashion, or crossed over in the
back, as well as the usual straight
shoulder strap, which makes this. bra
useful for a variety of back decol-
letes. 1t has stitched satin reinforce
ments for extra uplift. 1t comes In
both white and tea-rose.

Beach Colors.

R.-Gray and dark green will be
seen a great deal at the beach this
Summer for the first time in several
years.
There are one-piece swim suits Of
soft gray wool, sometimes with touch
of white or with contrast in the
braided shoulder STRAPS. "Kelp
green" named after seaweeds, is an
other new color.
Toe-nails are supposed to be pol
ished at the beach this season.
Among the new sandals Is a mere
shoe-sole, held on with one strap.
Beach headgear will be mainly BAN
dannas and bright scarfs tied Gypsy
fashion around the head. The new

ent. Unless you have been given q
check, and told to buy the article for
yourself, the gift may turn out to be
something totally unfit for your new
home, by reason Of unsuitability, or
the fact that it does not conform to

as your own.
In this case, the object becomes that
old proverbial white elephant"
Usually it can not be bundled upstairs
and hidden in the attic, because now
adays there aren't very many attics
big enough to hold more than trunks;
If you leave 1t in the part Of the house
where you see it every day, you grow
to dislike it more and more. Often
you are afraid to exchange it, for fear
the donor will come to call, and find 1t
among those missing.
However, In this latter event, I am
q firm believer in the theory that a

and that both he and she have the
right to have in it only those things
which please them. The average
friend, who has given a wedding pres
ent with the sole purpose Of making
the young people happy. would be de-
lighted to feel that, If his gift proved
unsuitable, another would be substi-
tuted that would be loved and cher
ished forever. OF course there are
people who only donate wedding pres
ents with the idea of making a big
showing when the gifts are displayed
in that case, don't bother about their
feelings-they aren't worth it!
WHEN making your own purchases,
again the best rule to follow Is
"buy quality rather than quantity" :"
Get along with a minimum of the
best at first-as time goes on other
pieces of furniture may be added here
and there until your home Is COM
plete and beautiful in every detail.
If the space in which you intend
living is small, don't buy large, heavy
types of furniture. Small, delicate
pieces will lend an illusion Of space
and prevent overcrowding. Simple
lines and handsome woods are best,
unless you choose some Of the charm

niture.
In buying beds, remember that
money invested in good mattresses
and box springs is well spent. These
will be among the largest items of
expenditure, but in the long run are

haps that does rot seem a very exalt-
ed aspiration, but have seen so many
people whose peace and happiness was
wantonly destroyed by those about

Most Of us are Mortified at the very
thought of committing murder or

very ones who could not bring them
selves to take a fellow creatures life,
or steal his purse, or break him on the
rack have no hesitation in Staying his

mind and making his every day an
agony almost too great to be borne.
They even do these things without
compunction to their nearest and
dearest, and that is the strangest
thing in all the annals Of crime.
Life is not an easy road to travel
for even the most fortunate of us. 1t

malice we make it so much harder and
stonier and dificult for those who must
journey along it with us. "'@

The husband comes home at night
worn out from hard days work, dis
couraged, sunk, only to be met by his
wife with flood of whines and COM
plants and q demand to know why
he can't make money like some other
man. She doesn't make life easier
fer him by jollying him and breath
ing fresh hope and courage into him,
telling him that as long as she has
him nothing else matters.
Nor does the husband try to make
marriage easier for his wife. Only
tor often he is grouchy and ill-tem-
pered. hard to live with and dumps
on his own family the fault-finding
that he dares not infiict on any one

 Dr. Luke went early to the hos pital. He had prepared for the occa- sion by providing himself with a brand-new suit. Long before the crowd was to gather in front of the hospital for the dedication cer- emonies, Dr. Luke was in the nur- sery.
