For a family of four or five, take a quart of warm water, & cup of wheat flour, a heaping teaspoon of salt, a gill of yeast (or one-half yeast cake), Stir in buckwheat flour enoufh to make 8 thin batter. Let it rise over night. In the morning add one-fourth teaspoon of saleratus for enlarged pores that I could keep on during the day. Is ice effective? I have been advised not to wash my face in hot water and then rub in ice for quite a while What danger may result? THANK YOU. Answer—(1) Use a light to medium grade of powder. (2) Yes, there are many good blackhead creams on the market which are supposed to melt the substance in the clogged pores. If you prefer to make your own, the following is very good: One dram ichthyol oint- ment; one-half dram zinc oxid; one dram_starch; one and one-half drams petrolatum. Apply after cleansing the face at night and leave on overnight. (3) The following lotion makes a very good astringent which can be applied to the skin and left on before applying powder: Two ounces elder-flower water; two ounces rosewater; one dram glyc- erin; one dram spirits of camphor; one dram_ precipitated sulphur. Washing the skin in hot water and then apply- ing ice to it is much too harsh a treat- ment, Cleanse the skin at night with warm water and & good pure soap. ‘Tincture of green soap is especially good for an olly skin marred by pimples and Dblackheads, Lather the face generously with the soap and leave on for two or three minutes and then rinse thoroughly in several waters. Ice makes a good astringent and skin stimulant, but it should not be applied directly to the skin. Wrap a piece of ice in a soft cloth and rub this gently over the face and neck. If you wish to have it, I should be very glad to send you a copy of my leaflet on the care of oily complexions. ‘The leaflet is free and I feel sure that you will find it very helpful. With or soda dissolved in a little warm milk. Do this whether the cakes are sour or not. Buckwheat cakes cannot be made in perfee- tion without this addition. But it should never be put in until Jjust, before they are baked. To make them brown nicely add a teaspoon of m d beat rously. They should be as thin as can be and turned easily with a griddle. * CHOCOLATE PIE.

In most homes, especially the homes of Americans, a few generations ago large kitchens served for more than food preparation. Often they were dining rooms and sitting rooms as well —this in the Northern and Middle States. In any event, the kitchen almost in- variably served as a general work room for the numerous tasks that had to be performed in the house. Here candles were dipped or molded, wool was dyed and sometimes spun and woven, tonics from herbs were brewed, sometimes even old and worn pewter dishes and sgwnl were melted down and recast afresh. Save in warm weather, was done in this large kitchen. At present our kitchens are made small, because pi ly they are merely laboratories for preparation of food. If there are several servants there must be a servants’ dlnln? room. But when the housewife makes her kitchen very small she sometimes finds that she must carry various sorts of home industries into the living rooms of the house, and this is not always convenient. There is & wondrous compactness about the modern cooking laboratory. Each step is measured and space is minimized in a way that makes it dif- ficult when the housewife wishes to use the kitchen for any other purpose than cooking. Even more up-to-date is the house with the small, compact kitchen, plus an adjoining work room. Such a room ndid means of keeping living rooms in order. In this room there are many shelves and a closet and tier of cu . ‘There is room for the sewing machine and all mending sup- plies, the tool chest and perhaps even & small tool bench. To Serve With Fish. Peel and chill as many cucumbers as required. Slice them very thin without wholly severing the slices.

Mother Brown was sure that Flip had nothing to do with it. In spite of the fact that Black Pussy had grown more and more thin, Mother Brown Wwas that she got her big dinner e night just the same. She insisted that Flip had no chance to get it.

Black Pussy's herself, however, was nowhere about. Presently, she came from the barn. She rubbed up against one of Farmer Brown's Boy's legs, arching her back and purring and saying “Meow!” It was the way she had always done when she was hungry and was teasing for something to eat.

But its searching power to penetrate tiny fissures, its actual cleansing ability is something you take for granted. You shouldn’t. All toothpastes are not alike—and distinguished scientists, authorities on re- search, can tell you why. Jerome Alexander, of New York, is an outstanding chemist whose tests should convince you. He tried a whole series of modern dentifrices. Tried them for surface tension—to see which would get down into the crevices, which would penetrate! « And he says: “Colgate’s is by far the best cleanser. It exhibits the lowest surface tension.” Colgate’s Eenemdng foam gets down into the tiny fissures and floods away food particles that ordinary sluggish dentifrices can’t even reach. It has been more universally recommended by den- tists than any other toothpaste ever made. It has healthfully and completely cleansed more people’s teeth than any other toothpaste. And, despite its superiority, the manufacturers have been able, use of the vast demand, to sell this fine dentifrice for 25 cents. Jerome Alexander’s research agrees with the find- ings of other noted authorities—Dr. Hardee Cham- bliss, Dean of Sciences, Catholic University of America, and others of equal fame who have been retained to make analytical tests and render expert opinion. JEROME ALEXANDER, B.S., M. Sc. Member American Institute Chemical Engineers Author “Colloid Chemistry” Pioneer worker with the Ultramicroscope Specialist in Colloid Chemistry. Jerome Alexander says: “I found that Colgate’s exhibits the lowest surface tension. Because of this, Colgate’s penetrates into the tooth fissures, flooding away impurities which cause trouble.
