There are the tub, bowl and bath room appliances to have pristine and spotless in any case, to say nothing of hand and face towels, both towels and bath mats. One of the simplest little methods of having a wash bowl in good condi- tion for a next comer, or one's self, if bath is private, is to have a face cloth hung by the bowl and to wipe out the bowl and marble about it when the user has A face cloth , 80 it is recommended for this use.

NE of the most frequent beauty questions asked me is in re- gard to the cause and removal of superfluous hair on the face, arms, underarms and legs. In women & undcnci to the de- velopment of superfluous hair on the face is sometimes inherited. Persons of a tubercular diathesis and very dark- skinned people are somewhat more than ordinarily likely to develop this beauty blemish. ‘The modern mode of sheer, light- colored hose, sleeveless frocks, one- plece bathing suits, shorter skirts .and lighter, less cumbersome clothing brings to the fore this problem, which ‘was once a problem only to the occa- sional woman with hair on her face. But today the modern woman removes the unwanted hair from the under- arms, arms and legs just as regularly a5 she waves her hair and massages her scalp and face. There are several ways of treating this beauty blemish. The first thing to do about superfluous hair is to gain & sense of proportion about it. Never exaggerate the importance of a little unwanted hair and remember that nobody sees it as conspicuously as you think they do. Those few hairs which stand out so prominently when you look closely at your face in the mirror are not noticeable a yard or two away and if you keep the hairs bleached and smooth them down as you powder, they are almost invisible, If you have a aowny growth, bleach it with peroxide and ammonia for months before deciding that stronger methods are necessary. Mix two tea- spoonfuls of peroxide with half a teaspoonful of ammonia and beat the mixture until &t is cloudy. The am- monia removes the oil from the hairs and so strengthens the bleaching action. Every night at bedtime, after cleansing the face, dab a little of this mixture ‘where superfluous hairs on the face are apt to come or show. Often this is all the treatment that is necessary, if you persevere. The bleaching dries and weakens the hairs 80 much that they break off and even- tually die away. But you must perse- vere. An occasional bleaching with peroxide and ammonia will do little, if any, good. For a dry skin you should dilute your peroxide and ammonia with Use the new Vicks Nose and Throat Drops with | until next Fau. | service before it could be replaced.

Each one who takes a bath should be expected to wash out the tub after a bath. It takes but a moment to do this, and the tub is kept immaculate by such care. Towels are something of & problem, as to use one makes it mussed, and yet | one cannot keep changing them after each time the face or hands are dried. “E{f” accessories should be changed y.

Immortality! We bow before the very term. As George Douglas wrote, “Before it reason staggers, calculation reclines her tired head and imagina- tion folds her weary pinions.” Immor- tality speaks to us of eternity. Tt throws open before our wondering minds and longing hearts the portals of the vast forever. I @ssures us that we are born to wear the Crown of a deathless destiny. How blessed is the hope of immor- tality! Byron wrote: “Immortality oersweeps all pains, all tears, all time, all fears, and peals like the eternal thunder of the deep into my ears this truth: Thou livest forever.” What a cruel thing it would be to rob the race of this hope. To destroy the idea of fmmortality would be to add death to death. Does it seemn strange that we should live forever? It is less strange than that we should live at all. Our present life is a miracle, and the future life is no greater miracle. Reason staggers before the mystery of the resurrection, but it also staggers before the mystery of birth. The one is no more of a mystery than the other. All life is & marvel. Why shoulfitu;e marvel at the thought of immortality?

The human soul is the most wonderful thing in all the universe. There must be something of God in it. Surely it cannot die. For this marvel- ous and God-like spirit in man to per- ish would be the strangest thing of all the strange things that ever transpire in God’s world. How can it enter into the thoughts of man that the soul, which is capable of such immense intellectual powers and of such vast spiritual comprehen- sions, shall fall away into nothingness almost as soon as it is created? It would not only be the strangest thing in the world, but it would be a travesty of Providence should such an instru- ment as the human soul be blotted out. No, no! The soul was not made to die.
