to make the entire skin surface

HEALTH BAROMETER

1t is a health barometer. When
it is yallery- -greane1e', something is
wrong with the digestive motors.
When it is pale, the blood streams
are not active. A coarse skin
usually results from diet that is
heavy with fats and proteins.
When sebaceous glands over
work, the oil that should be exuded
in light film becomes wax-like,
clogs the pores. These oily points
attract atmospheric filth that COM
bines with it, forming blackheads.
These blemishes are not only un-
slightly, suggestive of uncleanli
ness, but they are tenements for
bacteria that cause acne.
Soapy WaSningS are an important
part of the treatment, but the trou-
BILE is that few women use enough
soap A little rubbed on a wash
cloth isn't effective. An excellent
idea is to use shaving soap, fluff up
a lather such as men use when they
shave, frictioning it in with the fin
ger tips, pinching the flesh lightly
to make the blood streams hustle
end bring a glow.
