... 1 ..—...... .—
By JOSEPHINE HUDDLESTON
Those of you who have played around in the sun this summer and
haven't take nmuch care of your skin are apt to find that a weather-
beaten countenance is the result of your carefree days. If such is the
case here's a simple corrective treatment.
At night before retiring apply a liberal amount
of mineral oil to your face throat chest and arms
letting it remain on for 10 or 15 minutes. At the
end of that time remove the surface oil with a soft
linen cloth or cleansing tissues and then massage a
1 second but more scant amount of oil into the skin. |
letting this remain on overnight.
In the morning cleanse the face with the boric
acid and witch hazel skin tonic I explained to you in
this column not long ago. For the benefit of those
who missed it or who have mislaid the formula it
Is made by mixing together equal parts of boric acid
solution and witch hazel.. Shake the bottle contain-
ing the liquid so that the two ingredients are blend-
I ed thoroughly before using
JOSEPHINE Saturate a pad of cotton with the skin tonic and
HUDDLESTON rub 11 lightly over the skin letting the tonic dry nat-
urally. Several times during the day repeat the skin
! tonfir application
If you will follow this treatment for several days you will notice a vast
Improvement in the condition cf your skin and by the end of tw*o weeks
all extreme drvness and harshness^
should have disappeared into the
realm of bvgone beauty woes
Applications of mineral oil will
remedy an extremely dry hair con-
dition. If the dryness is caused from
too long exposure in the summer
sun and not to the inactivity of the
oil ducts In the scalp. Just apply a
liberal amount of mineral oil to
the hair at night bind a clean
. Turkish towel around the head and
: then in the morning wash the hair
using a shampoo made of castile
soap which has a large percentage
of pure oil in its composition
You can make up sufficient
shampoo for three washings by
shaving up one cahe of castile soan
j and adding this to one pint of cold
water. Set this over a fire to sim-
mer until the soap has melted then
j strain the mixture through two lay-
ers of cheesecloth place it in a
; clean Jar that ran be kept sealed
and that is that!

Many women find that the skin
on their feet becomes very dry dur-

applications are Invaluable for this.
After bathing the feet in warm not
hot. water apply the oil which
should be heated a Jittle. and then
slip on a pair of old stockings so
that the oil does not soil the bed
coverings Such treatments if taken
at the first sign of dryness often
prevent the skin from actually
cracking which is a very painful
experience. In the morning Just dust

Keeping children well is easy when
mother can read the earl/ symptoms
of childhood s ills.
If little ones are fretful pale
languid won t eat and want to be
mothered; when they often get colds
and sore throat and seem feverish
depend upon It the bowels are slug-
gish. You notice unpleasent breath
when you kiss them — sure sign of
constipation and a sour etomach.
Give a little California Fig 8yrup
to purify the system and see how
quickly it restores strength appetite
and joyous syirits It acts without
pain and gently cleanses the bowels
of constipated waste which causes
f evert* hnc&s. sours the digestion
and keeps the little one sickly and
backward.
If you suspect measles or some
other children's disease give a dose
of California Fig Syrup without de-
lay. The doctor will praise your fore-
thought. California Fig 8yrup is the
finest laxative in the world for chil-
dren. It suits them perfectly and
they love its delicious taste. For a
child who Is habitually contispated
there is no other remedy to equal
California Fig Syrup for coaxing the
bowels back to healthy regularity. If
you have a child who is troublesome
in this way try California Fig Syrup.
Get a bottle today. All drug stores
have it.
California Fig Syrup has been
trusted by the World's mothers for
over 80 years That is why the word
“California" should be emphasised
when buying.—adv.

Warm applications such as those
described above also help to get the
feet in good condition for the
change that comes with cold weath-
er. There are more perspiration
glands in the soles of the feet and
the palms of the hands than in
any other part of the body. The
hands however because of their
constant exposure become more
toughened and so do not react so
unkindly to sudden changes in tem-
perature. The feet because of their
constant protection become ex-
tremely sensitive and when cold
weather comes one is apt to have a
great deal of trouble with them un-
less preventive measures are adopt-
ted.
