WOMAN'S PAGE. MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS. Banishing the Pimple. ‘The average girl or boy whose com- plexion is marred by pimples is very &ensitive about the api nce of his or her skin and is willing to try any vemedy for this embarrassing condi- tion that may be suggested. As a re- sult there {s a great market for so- called “blood purifiers” and every preparation that is advertised as a cure for pimples. Of course, there are mome successes and some failures in the use of these remedies, and so to- , day I am going to try to throw some light on the causes of the latter. In the first place, it is a mistake to expect a rapld and complete cure for pimples. All that can be done is to | live hygienically, keep the skin scru- pulously clean and wait patiently for time to effect the real cure. 1 have little faith in blood purifiers iand tonics unless they are prescribed “by a physician who understands one’s “individual meeds.

The sentiments they express are un- maistakably those of an individual per- vert. Not a few of these novelists rail against the average American as ir- remediably stupid and vulgar. Yet I venture to say that any citizen who is not a degenerate would scorn the trick of parading personal obscenities in the disguise of fictitious dialogues which reek with sex fanaticism. These preclous products are really the self- @xposures of obscene minds. Vicksburg, Va. Do you call this a Christian country when & church requires its ministers to abstain from tobacco? Answer—I certainly uld not call ours a non-Christian cofiitry because these brethren require ministerial ab- stention from the weed. Evidently, they are not of the mind of Charles Kingsley, the vigorous and attractive cleric of Anglicanism, who declared that tobacco was the poor man's friend and the lonely man's companion.

Unless the older wide of the attachment is healthy and mne and possessed of a sense of hu- mor, the crush is likely to end in disillusionment and sorrow for the younger one.

Stimulating beverages like tea, coffee or cocoa should be avoided by voung people who are troubled with pimples. Milk, | buttermilk, orange juice and some sort of cereal drink offer sufficient va- { riety from which to choose. Indulgence in candy, especially choc- {olate creams, and rich pastries often |results in the formation of new pim- ples on skins that are subject to these blemishes. The diet should be care- fully planned to include daily some raw vegetables, like lettuce, cabbage. tomatoes, celery or carrots, as well as cooked vegetables of a leafy or succu lent nature. Meat should be eaten not oftener than once a day. Some starchy vegetables and bread and cereals are also needed for a well balanced diet. | Plenty of oranges, apples and other fruits are excellent for clearing the complexion. When there is a craving for sweets, dates, figs and raisins may | be substituted for candy. Water should be drunk freely between menls. A very helpful aid in the local treat- ment of pimples is mild sunburn, | which has a healing effect similar to that produced by the electric ray treatments that are used to cure se- | vere cases of acne. A simple antiseptic | wash like horie acid solution should be | | used daily on the skin and also before | and after the pimple is pricked. A | touch of jodine on a newly formed | pimple will sometimes dry it up in | short order. At the close of the day a pimply skin should be cleansed with cold cream and then washed with soap and water. | Tincture of green soap may be used, | or, if the <kin is sensitive, a mixture of castile soap and almond meal will | be more suitable. The final rinse may |be in the antiseptic wash. A sulphur |ointment may then be patted on the | skin and left there overnight. (Covsright. 1927.)

J. | Is there any historical evidence in exigtence that either Jesus or St. Paul | actually lived as outlined in the New | Testament. Please state briefly vour | opinion of the book called “Christ | Myth,” by Prof. Drews. which caused some discussion through Iurope | about 10 or 12 years ago. { Answer—The references to Jesus in the works of Roman and Jewish his- torians of the first century a few indeed. Josephus, the Jewish his- torian, in the eighteenth and twentieth book of his well known work, “Jewish | Antiquities,” mentions the name of Jesus twice. A few modern scholars regard these references as later inter- polations by Christian writers, but the majority, while asserting that some things have been added, claim that the reference to Jesus is genuine. Pliny, the Roman_historian, in a letter to| Trajan in 110 A.D. refers to Christ and His followers, and Tacitus, in his “Annals,” xv.44, says that the Chris. tlans received their name from Christ, who was condemried to death by the procurator, Pontius Pilate. St. Paul's bona fide letters in the New Testament are the best evidence of His existence. To them must be added, however, the witness of the Acts of the Apostles and of the Sec- | ond Epistle of Peter. Arthur Drews belongs to that co- terie which holds that Christ was a | mythical figure and his cult a pre- | | Christian one with which were blended | | some elements of astral worship. Dr. Joseph Klausner, a learned Jew- ish author, in his recent study of “Jesus of Nazareth,” asserts that every step that Jesus took, every- thing He did, every word He spoke, recall to us chiefly by confirmation, though sometimes by contradiction, the Palestine of His time and of co- temporary Jewish life and Pharlsaic teaching. The shadowy figure which Drews portraye is a totally inadequate cause for the great movements that sprang from Christ’s life and ministry. This writer insists that religion m purged of all references to Jes |ie to be pure and eflicient, an asser- ticn which is its own refutation. in a youngster's life, and it may be | his undoing.
