Clarifying Yourself
By ALICIA HART

even srnartly-dressed on linn
tied budget. It's a question Of
knowing which types of clothes are
most becoming, then refusing to be
switched to types about which you
have some doubt. And of planning
your wardrobe well in advance OF
the date you intend to start shop
ping for it.
The petal-smooth, c1ean-skinned
look is largely matter of proper
cleansing and sparing use of make
up. Makeup, that is, which suits
your own coloring.
If, instead Of applying fresh pow
der over a layer of stale powder,
and dabbing at your mouth with a
rouge puff every time you happen
to think Of it, you will remove the
old makeup and apply new coat
three times a day, you will have
come a long way toward achieving
the fresh-faced look.
Soap and Water Never Hurt Yop
Don't let anyone tell you that
bland soap and water viii hurt your
skin. Face and neck ought to be
lathered thoroughly, then rinsed
and rinsed and rinsed at least once
q day-preferably twice.
OF course, If your complexion has
a tendency to be very dry, you'll
use cream after the nightly scrub
bling and softening foundation To-
ton after the morning soap and
water treatment. If necessary, you'll
spend great deal Of time finding
a cream that counteracts any dry
ing effects the soap might have. But
you certainly won't give up soap
and water.
If, in spite of meticulous cleans
ing, your skin always seems trifle
follow the system screen and
stage stars use for removing make
up. Most of them cleanse first with
cream, then with soap and water,
and then again with cream. Thus
they really manage to get their
faces clean without running the risk
Of dryness.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Potassium and Calcium
Can you tell me whether there Is
sound basis for the idea that cal
cium and potassium counterbalance
one another in metabolism, that is,
whether the one has any particular
effects that the other checks or
counter balances? (P. W., M. d.
Answer = In one respect they
counterbalance each other calcium
is a coronary vasodilator, while pot
assium is a coronary soconstrictor.
Increased calcium intake seems to
prevent or overcome allergic sem
sitivity in many cases; increased
| potassium intake merely affords
symptomatic relief for allergic man

Answer-Avoid grit soaps or hand
cleaners-use instead a sawdust or

beginning work clean and dry hands
well, and rub on some lanolin and

ing work repeat the application Of
the lanolin-caStor oil mixture, and
