This i a treatment covering the entire day, to be followed every day for three weeks, unless the skin clears before. And it will, if it isn't in, very bad shape. When you get up in the morning drink down two glasses of hot water. If you don’t like the hot-water taste, put salt in it; hot salty water tastes good. For breakfast, eat fruit, an egg, one or two slices of toast, not more than one cup of coffee or tea. Mid morning a glass of colo water. Lunch, a large salad of fruit or mixed vegeta- bles, with plenty of dressing or may- onnaise, and either milk or tea and a small piece of toast or a roll and but- ter.

This clears the complexion, because it drains all the surface of the skin, so no part is called on to do extra work for the other. Hold hot wet cloths over the face, then rub in cleansing cream, or if there are pimples as well as blackheads, zinc ointment or sulphur ointment.

Two hours later I got tired just watching him, and so 1 called Joan. She said, “Why, Bob!

SUMMERTIME BY D. C. PEATTIE. Sumae. In August the stately spires of sumac flowers mature, and it i8 a wonder to me that so few people stop to admire their tropic beauty, or grow sumac in their garden. One cannot say that there are no attractive garden forms, ‘or some dainty cut-leaved varieties are offered by nurserymen, if you want to go in for such overrefined forms. For me the three sorts of sumac, just as they come from the hand of nature, are lovely enough. There is a low-growing sort with shiny leaves that is especially lovely, but it is not s0 common as the sort with white undersides of the leaves, which stands from 5 to 15 feet tall. Sometimes one finds the staghorn sumac that is prac- tically a tree and has velvety leaves. All three have glorious scarlet and gold foliage in Autumn, and in late Summer bear panicles of handsome crimson, furry ber Much rarer than any of these is the fragrant sumac, whose leaves give off a strange bitter-sweet aroma. The flowers appeared last April, and long after came the pretty leaves which might be mistaken for those of poison ivy, but where poison ivy has smooth white berries of a ‘“poisonous palor,” the fragrant sumac ha red, woolly fruits as its innocuous cou- sins. This pretty little plant, for it only grows knee high or less, has been found only rarely in rocky woods near Broadwater. g e Devil's Food Cake.

What can 1 do to be nice to them and attract ther NOBODY'S FRIEND. AR MISS DIX—Lvery Answer—Put honey on your tongue instead of vinegar. You rertainly couldn’t be foolish enough to expect any young man to spend his time and his money on you, giving you a good time, when you rewarded his effort by ving mean and insulting things to him. None of us is bullt that way. We do not yearn to have our faults and weaknesses brought to our attention. Nor do we lap up criticism and ask for more. What we want is to be jollied along. We like people to tell us how charming and agreeable and good-looking we are and what a nifty line we carry. Especially do men like to have their fur rubbed the right way, and it is only the girls who are adept at doing this who ever have many dates. The only way that a woman can ever repay man for his courtesies to her is by making herself pleasant and agrecable, and you certainly cannot blame him if he thinks that he has been stung when he takes out a girl who wounds his vanity and hurts his feelings. No wonder when he dumps her down on her doorstep he says to himself, “Never again The greatest misfortune that cam happen to any woman i3 to he endowed with the gift of sarcasm and a talent for saying witty and cutting things, for not one woman in ten thousand has the seif-control to refrain from using it. 1 have known women who, for the sake of getting a laugh, would alienate their best friends and who would stab to the heart with an epigram those who loved them. a T have scen these women drive away from them their nearest and dearest and T have watched them grow bitterer vear ¢ grew crueler in their speeches, until at last they were left lmll’lv nnd forlorn, feared and hated by all who knew them. This fate will befall you unless you face about and control your tongue. And, after all, what a poor wit it is to hold people up to ridicule! Tt is s0 cheap and easy, for there is not one of us who has not some peculiarity of person or character that cannot be caricatured until it makes us a figure of fun that provokes the laughter of fools. The real wit of which you may be proud is that which laughs with people, not at them, and that makes friends instead of enemies. Make your tongue your servant instead of your master. Force it to sa kindly things instead of mean ones. It will make you happy and men wiil flock around you instead of running away from you, for there is nothing on earth that men so dread and fear as a sarcastic woman., The bravest man on earth turns coward in the face of a virago. DOROTHY DIX. C e [DEAR MISS DIX—T know that it is impossible for me to have any children and I am longing to adopt a baby, but my husband will not agree to it. It T bring a stray cat or dog homerhe lets it stay and buys it food, but he won't give a little baby a chance. ‘I am eating my heart out for a little one, and I know I would give a baby a real mother’s love and a good home. Don’t you think my husband should agree to my adopting a child? A MOTHER'S HEART. Answer—I do, indeed, if you feel that way about it; but, of course, you must look at your husband’s point of view, too, and remember that you are asking him not only to support the child, but to divide you with it. While a man is willing to do that for his own child, he has to be very unselfish to be willing to do it for a strange child. However, T am very sure that if he did let you adopt a child he would be richly repaid for the sacrifice, not only because you would be so much hap- pier in having your maternal instincts satisfied, but because it is true that a babe in a house is a well-spring of joy, and as a pet it beats all the puppies and kittens in creation. There is no other sport so fascinating as watching a little child’s mind unfold. There i8 something new and funny and touching and appealing in its every act, and when it puts its little arms around our necks and cuddles down into the hollow of our shoulders we get a thrill that nothing else in life affords. And so I am sure that your husband, who takes in stray cats and dogs, would find great joy in an adopted child. Probably he dreads the thought of breaking up the pleasant routine of your home and he has a prejudice and a little jealously against bringing a strange child into it. So why don’t vou get him to let you borrow a baby for six months and agree to give it up if at the end of that time he doesn't want you to keep it? My word for it, that once he has got used to the child and felt its little fingers clinging to his he will never let it go. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1927.)

In a new home Nancy visited she found a slanting shelf built near the floor in a clothes closet. A cleat was nailed on to the shelf four inches from the top.

C. writes: “At what s can the 10 o'clock feeding be elim nated? My haby is 9 months old, weighs 18 pounds and takes a formula | of 30 ounces of milk, 10 of water and 2 ounces of sugar. In addition he gets cereal, vegetables, yolk of one egg, prune juice alternately with orange juice, bread crusts and cod liver oil. He sleeps out of doors and has a sun | bath for 15 minutes twice a day. Is he getting along all right and weight normal? He has six teeth. 1s it necessary to keep a shirt on a baby? During the daytime he only wears a Dband and diaper.” Answer.—It depends entirely on how well the bal the 10 o’cloc 1f the baby < meal can be elimin: is being fed once every four hours it is better to continue the | 10 o'clock meal a little longer than with the baby who gets five meals during the day. I think it is safer to say that generally the baby five meals a day until he is one yeur old. After that he can get along on four if he is well nourished. Your baby is the right weight and has bet- ter than the average number of teeth. One and one-half ounces of sugar is enough in one day. Your general reg- imen is excellent, which no doubt uc- counts for his splendid condition. When the weather is hot only a band and diaper are necessary. Add more clothes when the temperature drops. Mrs. L. W. P. writes: “My baby weighed a little over 8 pounds at birth and now at 5% months weighs 21 pounds. Is he overweight?

Sometimes the coming of tecth may make a baby temporarily wake- ful.
