WOMAN’S PAGE, MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS, 0il for Freil Finger Nails. Dear Miss Leeds. My fingernails are #soft, or partly so, and do not grow. Is there anything lacking in my system? Can anything be done about it, as they fook very bad? Years ago I had & craving for raw rice and ate it by the pound, but the nails were just as soft. &s it lime I need? M. R. Answer —I suspect that your system 4s badly in need of lime. The raw rice would not supply that element, as it is & carbodhydrate food. Milk is one of the best foods for those who need lime. Also, make sure that your diet includes plenty of such vegetables as spinach, celery, cabbage and carrots. Raisins, prunes and the citrus fruits, such as ur:::m and grapefruit, should eaten. Here is a treatment which will be beneficial to your nails, Make the fol- lowing nail oil: Melt three drams of white wax in 10 ounces of olive oil. Re- Bind the ol on the finger tips move from the fire and gradually stir in one dram of salt, one dram of powdered borax and one dram of powdered alum. When the mixture is cool add a little perfume.

Leave on overnight two or three times & week. This treatment will make the nails tougher, so that they will not seem 80 soft, but.lof course, they cannot change greatly in composition if the body does not supply them with suffi- cient materials for growth.

MISS JANET F. Answer.—(1) There is no one method of using cleansing cream which would be the correct method for every type of skin. Those with an oily skin may ap- ply the cold cream first and then wash the face well in warm water and soap. ‘Those with tender, dry skins may use oil or cold cream alone.

LOIS LEEDS. Swollen Eyes, Scanty Lashes. Dear Miss Leeds: (1) Please tell me what to do for swollen eyes. (2) What must I di to keep my eyelashes dark and long? N. M. Answer.—(1) Wash the eyes twice & day with an eyecupful of boric acid solution. When you have been using your eyes for a long time and they be- gin to feel tired, relax them and give them a rest for a few minutes, as you would any other part of the body. If occupied in very close work, shut them for a minute or two, then focus on a distant object. Do not stare, but blink be | the eyes and move them first to one object and then to another. Now close them again. This practice will relax tired muscles. Perhaps you need glasses. Have our eyes examined at once, Another good eye wash is m dissolving a pinch of salt in pint of tepid water. Use an eyecup and bathe the eyes in this solution for a few minutes, then in cold water. If you continue to have trouble with your eyes I hope you will see a 5ood physician at once, as the eye is too deli- cate and important an organ to be neglected. You may have organic trouble. ~ (2) Brushing eyebrows -and lashes with olive ofl or castor oil will help to keep them long and dark. Ap- pl7 with & small eyebrow brush. White vaseline is another good product io use for the same purpose, but unfortunately it does smart and cause discomfort if it accidentally gets into the eyes, (Copyright, 1930.)

ULL | of the dealers refused to comply with THE EVENING Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. Rebruary 18, 1863.—Erroneous reports that the military authorities have for- bidden the sale of certain newspapers to soldiers of the Army of the Potomac have been in circulation here for sev- eral days. The facts seem to be as follows: The dealers selling newspapers upon the Rappahannock River to the Army of the Potomac entered into a combi- netion to the effect that no paper should be sold for l~ss than 10 cents, alleging that a profit could not be made upon them at less. This was true re- garding the higher-priced papers, and the effect of the combination was that only the high-priced newspapers were furnished to the Army. ‘Then Gen. Patrick ordered that the price of all papers sold to the soldiers should be reduced to 5 cents. Several the order and discontinued the sale of the higher-priced papers. So far as can be learned, Gen, Patrick has not forbidden the sale of any par- ticular newspaper, though his order may have been intended to restrict the circulation of certain myschievous pub- lications among the soldiers. A strong effort is being made to in- crease the camp circulation of the New York Tribune. To that end, copies of |at Semering, not far from Vienna, where he asked for her he was ushered into the Tribune are being offered to deal- ers, delivered at Aquia Creek, Va., for $2 a hundred, which is very much less than the wholesale price asked for newspapers in Washington City. John L. Moyer, a farmer residing in the vieinity of Poolesville, Md., has been arrested and confined in the Old Capitol Prison in this city. He is charged by the military authorities with having aided Federal soldiers to desert. Three or four soldiers were ar- rested at Mr. Moyer's house after they had been furnished with full suits of citizens’ clothes. Col. Dresser of the 109th New York Infantry, stationed at Annapolis Junc- tion, Md., has sent Richard Whitehead, an old man living near that place, to this city under arrest, on a charge of aiding deserters to escape from the Union Army. At the time of his arrest several deserters were found with him and were also taken into custody.

A, Secret Discovered in the Mountains Gasresviire, Puomma—TUntil recently, breakfast-time meant nothing but $rouble for Mrs. Warren Cushing, of this town. Her children refused the mourishing foods set beforg them, and all efforts to tempt their appetites failed. The family physician, upon being consulted, aévised mountain air s an appetizer. The trip that fol- lowed solved Mrs. Cushing’s difficulty in & manner that n one anticipated. It was not only the invigorating air thatrestored herchildren’sappetites, but, a secret which Mrs. Cushing discovered in the mountains. What this secret was, is related below: f” ¢The mother of the family has many responsibilities, a vital one be- ing the preservation of the family health. Asa mother of three children, I bad resd the usual literature om Child Peeding’ and kindred subjeets, and tried to apply the knowledge. But be the reason what it may, there was always trouble about breakfast. It was an ordeal that I dreaded; ef- forts to tempt the appetites and send the children to school properly mour- ished were futile. My neighbors secmed equally at sea. “The Magic Cap” " #Qur doetor said to take the chil- @ren to the mountains, and little did he realive that there I would find the solution of my problem—not in the chinge of altitude, but in the cottage next door. A family there had such rosy-cheeked children that I lost no time in making their acquaiatance. I begged the mother to disclose her magic. She served me a cup of In- stant Postum made with milk for her answer. : A “‘From that day my troubles van- ished. The children mot only enjoy their Postum, but eat more of other foods. They leave for sehool with the proper asount of nourishment. “‘My meighbors, upen my return, were invited in to drink the ‘Magic Oup.’ Today we all agres that Instant Postam made with milk is the best hot drink for boys snd girls.” Try this “Magie” yourself! 80 many mothers are confronted by the same problem that baffled Mrs. Cushing—the problem of secing that their children get milk in nourishing quantities.

Lawyers will tell you that the major- ity of people in making their wills know Lo whom they are going to leave their carthly store, but they don’t know how. No great amount of searching is neces- sary to learn the reason. Such familiar conveniences as trusts in all varleties are not universally known. The result is that property is left to minors, incompetents and others to be dissipated. Unless one sets forth in a will exactly how property is to be divided and apportioned, it must g.‘ allotted to one's heirs as law, But mope important almost, un- less one decides on the manner and terms by which it will be given, 1t is given outright.
