Start Your
Cleanup
Campaign
a., EIan;
BY EIeni

Time to start thinking about
putting your prettiest face for
ward when back-to- school time
makes its appearance on the
calendar.
Now's the time to start clear
ing up q face full of little i'm
projections and embark on that
cleanup" campaign designed
to pay off in compliments for
your unblemished complexion.
An overnight treatment isn't
going to do this for you. It'll
have to be a nightly routine
from here on in so that you can
insure a daily lovelier blemish-
free skin.
A clean face is healthy one
usually when your diet is right
and you're also getting the right
amount of sleep. The old soap
and water" routine is perfect
one to follow when you use a
special soap that contains medi-
cation in it. This will soothe
surface blemishes and leave your
skin glowing and feeling won
derfully clean after a thorough
rinsing. Wash your face at least
two times a day with the "sayon
enqua."
The next step is to use the
second preparation which is a
cooling lotion. It'll also prove
effective in covering UP the
"hickies" during the day. The
lotion also acts as a powder
base, too.
One suggestion in using this
treatment. Leave off the rouge.
You can dust powder over it but
rouge will tend to point up your
blemishes rather than conceal
them.
OK. On your mark, ready,
get set, and go on this before
school-starts beauty routine.
You'll be able to head for classes
when school starts with the
incest, cleanest kind of COM
plexion.

waist, 311a inches; abdomen. 81

in the bust, four and a half
in the waist, q three-inch loss
| in the abdomen, and a three
inch loss in the hipline. / am
using this letter because 1t
shows you what exercise can do.
With only a ten pound loss, ex-
ercise helped distribute the
weight more attractively.
The reader continues.
II did the exercises quite
faithfully and kept within or
below 1400 calories a day. All
through the eight weeks I had
nothing but fruit juice for
breakfast. That left me enough
calories to have a satisfying
MONDAY meal and supper. I
really have 1elt no lack of food !"
Experiments and experience
have shown that generally it
is better idea to distribute
your calories between three
meals. However. for some wom-
en-, especially late risers. this
might not work out we'll. Just
be sure that you get your essen
tial foods if you eat like this
at breakfast. Do not overlook
eggs and cereal and bread.
If you would like to follow
the same routine the Marathon
winners did, most of them los
ing 20 pounds or more in eight
weeks, send 10 cents and a
