Mr. J. doesn't understand why physi- cians do not stress the beneficial effects of drinking hot water. He is a great enthusiast of drinking liberal amounts of hot water for a great many condi- tions, for he was greatly benefited by this practice. He would like to know what is the curative principle involved. 1 think it was about 20 years ago— wasn't {t?—that the fad of drinking hot water was at its height. I remember I went th it for my ailment (over- weight). result I got was a chronic intestinal irritation for several Wwhich I thought I would never d of. enefits to those who are helped by drinking hot water come from the heat, for heat is one of nature’s heal- ing agencies.

Becoming Colors. ‘ Dear Miss Leeds: (1) T have medium brown hair, violet eyes and clear, rather fair skin. What colors are becoming to me? (2) T am 17 years 4 months old, 5 feet 23, inches tall and weigh 114 | pounds. I have small bones, My me: urements are: Bust, 32; hips, 33; wi 27; thigh. 191,: calf, 13; ankle, 8% | Are these gocd?

(3) I am 15 years old and weigh 1071 pounds. Is this correct? I have green eyes and brown hatr; what colors are becoming | to me?

In the mean- | | time be very careful to keep your skin | clean, eat wisely and avoid constipation. | Buttermilk is a mild bleach. I am sure | that it did not cause the breaking out on your face.

L—When using cocoa butter as a fattening massage for parts of the body you merely heat the surface of the cake of butter very slightly and rub it over the palm of the hand you are using for the massage.

Some | people never have a dry skin until they become elderly and it comes then be- cause of there being less oil in the system. When the skin is dry it should helped with a little oll or cream, and there will be much less chance of lines forming.

F.ERTTER dboes @ big business in quality meats and groceries from his corner location at 6131 Georgia Ave, N. W. Although in the grocery business over fifteen years, it took me some time to learn how to handle my bread business. During my earlier years I put in every baker’s bread, thinking it would please my trade to have as much variety as possible. Every day I would have stale bread left, and it used to puzzle me why my bread business was so unsatisfactory. I then decided to confine my bread supply to not more than two leading bakers’ prod- ucts; namely, Bond Bread and another. Since I began handling Bond Bread I have never found it necessary to put in another baker’s bread, because the salesman who de- livers to my store takes the best of care of me and he sees that I always have fresh bread. I learned from my customers that Bond Bread is the best-quality, the best-keeping, and the best-flavored bread that I ever had in my store. The result is that in handling two bakers’ breads, Bond Bread is materially increasing my bread business and is giving my custom- ers wonderful satisfaction. Also it gives me personal satisfaction. I have it on my own table. My family prefers it. After all— there is no bread like Bonod J. F. ERTTER {Signed}
