of her pedals believes that they
must be lightly clad to look attrac-
tive. The sight of practical UY-
fcrds put her teeth on edge. The
truth is the girl who prances over
wet sidewalks breasting the snow,

good sense. 1t IS courting sniffles

KEEP FEET WARM
Why glorify the hoofs at the
expense of the feminine portrait?
We have yet to see a young lady
With a beaming cerise beak who
could get within ten miles of the
beauty pageant. When indulging
in outdoor sports, like skating, She
should wear wooden stockings.
At riol,t she should have sufficient
bed covering tc keep her feet warm.
and, without question, that young
lady should do breathing and arm
ner blood streams frolicsome.
What do the doctors say? In

of the skin. Lips go blue and noses
90 red. No girl who is uncomfort-
able is charming of appearance
And there is that matter of fit
ness. Dressy shoes are not for the
street; they should be worn in the
house.
Local treatment will whiten the
roseate nose. When bathing the
face use tepid water, never cold
or hot. Be gentle when using the
wash cloth and the towel. After
the nightly face scrubbing, rinse
With tepid water, dry thoroughly,
apply ointment of zinc oxide. You
can get a small tube from your
druggist. 1t is not necessary to

Highly spiced foods, salty foods

meals
If the redness is persistent,

is advisable to seek medical advice.

That the British expected such
an attack was more evident every
hour and the admiralty took over
management and control of all coast
guard stations throughout Great
Britain as part of the preparations
to fight off an invading army.
There was much bitterness over
Leopold'S surrender. especially in

Belgian monarch said his troops

only biscuits for four Gays and had
in some cases fired their last am

Some Belgian refugee government
leaders charged Jeorold with being

would be defied.
