when you are in the pink, but with
a little time and care you can man
age to look somewhat less dragged.
First of all, cold has a tendency
to dry out the skin. Keep a good
night cream handy and apply it as
often as is reasonably possible-not
just at night. Foundation cream
will help to keep the powder in
place in spite of constant wheeling
and blowing. Pads Of cotton dipped
in iced skin tonic and placed over
the eyes will soothe the smarting
and remove the bl0odshot look.
Apply your makeup more carefully
than ever if you feel that you look
wan and pasty. The shade Of your
powder alone can make a tremen-
dous difference. Use slightly
warmer shade If you feel a bit
washed out. A little more rouge. If
properly applied, will give you a
brighter look and distract attention
from your chapped and peeling
nose.
Above all, don't give the whole
thing up just because you are feel
ing miserable. A little time and
trouble can work wonders toward
making you look almost human and,
when you see how much better you
look, you'll find that you feel better
too.

With the March winds bowling
around the corners of buildings and
the last traces of winter in the air.
most of us are a bit run down
from a long hard winter, and it's
lucky girl who can step into
spring without at least one bad cold
to her creditor discredit. Because
colds are sworn enemies of beauty
and romance. A man would have
to be pretty much in love to look
with pleasure at girl with blood
shot eyes, a red, sniffly nose and
hacking cough. We all instinctively
draw away from person with
bad cold so the logical solution is
to avoid a cold in the first place.
Keep Fit
Here are some common-sense sug-
gestions for avoiding the start of
a cold: Keep in the best physical
condition possible; don't allow your
self to become over-tired nor ex-
pose yourself unduly to temperature
changes. Get plenty of sleep, fresh
al anu cAeIClSe anu Mdluldlu d
sensible, balanced diet. Lack of
sleep and proper food at this time
of year leaves you a ready prey to
colds. And if, in spite of taking all
possible precautions, you find your
self with heavy head and a fever
ish feeling, do something about it
Immediately. If possible, go to bed
and stay there for a day or two.
If you can't stay there all the time,
get as much extra sleep as possible,
drink lots of water and fruit juices
and avoid unnecessary fatigue.

you can't possibly expect any
one else to respect you. You
are but 20 years old, just old
enough to know how to live
sure you should put
forth some effort and try to
gain something worthwhile
in this world. You need to
get a better paying job.
K. F. WI was injured by a
city light last year and 1 have
a lawyer handling this case and
1 wish to know if 1 can get any
thing out of this case?
Ans: 1t seems to me that
had you made report to

the accident allowed

tigatiOn and ETC., you would
have been paid already. If
you expect to force q law
