Beauty Counsel

VISITORS to Hollywood
' who expect to see the
screen stars wearing glamor-
GUS makeup whenever they
appear in public are always
amazed to find there is less
makeup in evidence on the
streets of Hollywood than in
any other part Of the coun-
try.
We have wondered at this
ourselves when we met the girls
on the street and about town
and even at the al fresco parties,
which are a part of the social
life in California. We seldom
see any makeup except lipstick
and possibly a bit of eye
makeup.
We talked this over with
some of the stars and found
most of them associated the
use of makeup with their work
before the camera and have
more of a carefree feeling when
they can leave everything of
that nature behind with the rest
of the props.
Another good reason is, the
sun is so bright about the lawns
and gay swimming pools, arti-
ficial effects are likely to be
too conspicuous. 1t is an out
of-doors sunshine world and
they are content with natures
own coloring.
In observing the picture
makeup as you have curing the
last 10 years you have noticed
there is definite lack of arti-
flclality about all players as
compared to former years.
Wally WeStmore. of the IA
nous WeStmore brothers. thinks
girls make a mistake in too
many changes of makeup. He
believes there is always a GER

Must Be Certain
About Protein

Provided you have the proper
medical advice and supervision,
this treatment is helpful for the
permanent cure of eczema so
long as you are absolutely sure
that you know what is the Of
Tending protein. If you don't
know this, you are just wasting
your time and doing your child
no good.
Let us suppose that your
baby is sensitive to eggs. as a
great many children are. His
eczema develops after egg is
added to his diet and tests
have shown that it is the pro-
tein in the egg that is bother
ing him. Then, under your
physicians direction, treatment
would be begun by breaking an
egg into glass of water, stir
ring the mixture and adding
one teaspoon to another glass
filled with water.
The baby should then be given
one drop of this dilate solution.
Wait for three days and if at
the end of that time your child'S
eczema hasn't grown any worse,
he should be given three drops
of the mixture.
This method of gradually in
creasing the dose a few drops at
a time should be continued until
the child is receiving the whole
egg. From this point on your
baby should be able to eat a
whole egg without any reaction
whatever. Just remember, how
ever, that when such a treat
ment is under way there may
be very severe and unexpected
reactions in your child's system.
That is why I tell you never to
undertake it on your own; have
your doctor supervise it.
We have had a little trouble
with the quintuplets in the mat
ter of eczema. At times it took
us six or eight weeks to locate
the cause of the rash on the
babies skins and relieve it. In
looking for the cause of the rash,
the nurses and I had to be de-
tectives. They were fed cereals
and milk and all sorts of foods,
including fruits and vegetables.
Now the protein that was caus-
ing the trouble might have been
in any of the foods.

To Same Thing

In fact, each of the five might
have been bothered by a diff.
ferent protein. However, we
kept patiently after it until we
narrowed it down to carbo-
hydrates-sugar and starches-
and we found that they were
getting quite a bit. When we
cut down the amounts they re-
ceived, they recovered very
quickly. We found that their
systems were very quickly upset
if they received more than their
normal amount of sugar. An
