ASH the skin gently with soap and water, rinse out the suds, and ——_—_— eo after drying with a soft towel cover the eyebrows and lashes with puffs of cotton and then spread some of the following paste on the of the {ace and all over the neck. Do not neglect the neck, otherwise the skin will appear much darker than that on the face, and the effect will be startling: Mix pure peroxide of hydrogen to a soft paste, like butter, with Fuller's earth, but if the,skin is very ary | and tender use half witch hazel and half peroxide. Usually, however, the pure peroxide is not too strong. Leave this paste spread on the skin at least an hour, or until it is dry. It may be covered.with gauze, if you desire, It is better to lie down while the paste is in the process of bleaching and drying. If gauze is applied you may use hot wet Turkish towels to hasten the Dleaching process and also make the skin whiter in one treatment. «The to the skin to hasten the drying, and towels should be wrung out until they are almost dry, but should be kept quite hot, as the heat helps the bleaching. However, the towels and gauze ‘weatments are not at all necessary, but simply hasten the process. In the professional beauty shops the violet or red lamp is applied the hot towels answer the same pur- Pose. Theso instantancous skin bleaches cost anywhere from $3 up when done by professionals. After an hour, or when the paste appears dry and starts to harden, wash it off with a soft cloth end warm water and then Massage the skin gently with a good, thick, nourishing cold cream, work- ipg in circles with the tips of the fingers until the face and@ neck appear pink and all aglow. If the skin appears irritated/and slightly red before the massage, do not worry about it, because the ulfimate result will be a whiter skin of finer texture than before the treatment. This bleaching process may be repeated whenever necessary without fear of harming the most sensitive skin. Other simple skin bleaches will be given in next article. RED NOSE—Pr. B. L.: The causes of red nose are so many and varied that it is not possible to suggest a remedy without knowing and remov- ing the cause. Anaemia, indigestion, poor circulation, tight corsets, shoes, collars and belts, constipation, highly seasoned and rich diet are some\of the causes. VIBRATORY MASSAGE — Ethel H.: This method of massage requires the aid of electrical apparatus or ma- chine, calied a vibrator, They may also be purchased with their own battery or power to be used in homes where there is no electricity, This method of massage is effective for Many disorders and physical dinfig- urements, It stimulates the blood supply to the parts, which is its|% chief object and be=aait. MOLES—Tess C.: Moles may be removed by the electric needle. They are of the same nature as birth mark and sometimes, if irritated turn into cancer. It is said that exposure bs Bhd sun cau them to grow in 8 SKIN PEELING—Rena B.: Do not attempt to peel your own skin. It may be done by a competent skin specialist. The treatment takes about a month and when the neck and hands are also peeled the effect ts very satisfactory, especially where the hands and neck look old and withered, VINEGAR FOR BLACKHEADS— Mrs. Laura B.: You are probably re- ferring to the following lotion for blackheads, which contains vinegar: Strong vinegar, 30 grammes; alum, 0 grammes; ‘tincture benzoin, 16 grammes. This mixture should be well shaken before using and a few drops added to a bow! of hot water in which the blackheads must be bathed with a soft cloth. A Little Old Book That All Should Read Bre By Rev. Thomas B. Gregory TR Copyright, 1919, by The Press Publishing Co, (The New York Evening World), ery first thing that every human being needs to learn is how to jive up to Nature's laws, in order that, by so doing, life may be a blessing rather than a curse, “3 take it too seriously. This is the most practical matter in all the world, and it is impossible To understand the laws of Nature and of our- Selves as a part of nature and to render them the obedience upon which all success and happiness depend, comes pretty near being the “whole duty of Now, when George Combe, in the year 1828, gave to the world the little book entitled “The Constitution of Man,” the shadow of the Middle Ages still rested upon the world’s thinking, and in most lands the masses of the people were seeking in charms and trinkets, prayers and genu- flections, the relief they desired from the consequences of their unwise actions. Combe proved to them in his little volume that they were fools; that the consequences of human action cunnot be forestalled, and that what- soever one sows in the shape of conduct he must inevitably reap in the shape of experience. ‘The level-headed, clear-seeing Scotchman showed to all that there is euch a thing as NATURAL LAW, and thet it is simply out of the ques- tion to separate from a given action the results that are linked to that | action, One's experience, of whatever sort it may be, is the direct result of one’s attitude toward the natural laws, Your worst enemy cannot keep away from you the good consequences if you obey those laws, nor can your dearest friend shield you from the evil consequences if you disregard those laws, One might as well whistle to keep back the coming storm as pray for déliverance from violated natural law. The thing to do is to find out the law and live up to its requirements, and in that way, and in that way only, will you obtain the maximum of happiness in the world. We can fool each other, but we cannot fool Nature; and without the east regard for our prayers and prot ions, Nature keeps right on about her business, dropping the “blessing” to those who have sense and decency enough to obey her lews, and visiting with her “curse” those who fail to obey. * It has always been so. It will continue to be 90. We do not have to “go” to “Hekven” or “Hell;” with the certamity of fate heaven or hell will COME TO US, according as we do right or wrong. Gctentific knowledge—that is to say, actual knowledge—of ourselves and of the natural laws under which we Itve, is the “one thing needful,” without which all the other things count for nothing. “The Constitution of Man” ought to be a text book in the publie school, and in every other school. A thorough knowledge of that little book would yesult gloriously for the perpetuity and well-being of the Nation, \ | How It Started OU may lose your job but let us hope you won't get “sacked” in its original sense, ‘This expression jlustrates to what extent our language, even our slang, fs as motly a conglomeration as our reat melting pot itself, From the shores of the Bosporus, eombre, gloomy, menacing for many, comes this addition to our slang dic- tionary.

Somehow they represented to her the last tie that bound her to the life she was leaving. Her heart was tender as a Madonna to these lambs so ill fitted to face a frigid waste Their mother had been a good woman. She could tell that, But she had no way of knowing what kind of man their father might be. Sheba gave Janet advice about where to keep her money and when to wear rubbers and what to do for Billie's cold. She put up a lunch for them to take on the stage. When they said thelr sniffling goodbys at Katma she was suspiciously bright and merry. The children waved handkerchiefs as long as she could be distinguished by them, When they turned away she went directly to her room, Elliot was passing forward when Miss O'Neill opened her stateroom door to go in. The eyes of the young woman were blind with tears and she was biting her lip to keep back the emotion that welled up. He knew she was very fond of the motherless chil dren, but he guessed at an additional reason for her sobs, Gordon Elliot wrote letters, dawdled over magazines and lounged alter- nately in the ladies’ parlor and the smoking room, where Macdonald, Strong, & hardware merchant from Fairbanks, and @ pair of sour-dough miners had settled themselves to 4 poker game that was to last all night and well into the next day; Of the two bridge tables all the ha were old-timers except Mrs. ‘allory. Most of them were young enough in years, but they had been of the North long enough to know the gossip of the country and ite small politics intimately. They shared com- mon hopes of the day when Alaska would be thrown open to industry and a large population. Through Northrup and Trelawney a@ new slant on Macdonald was given to Gordon. He had fallen into casual talk with them after dinner on the fore deck. “But we afn’t through with Colby Macdonald yet," Trelawney explained. Copyright, 1917, by William MacLeod Raine.

Things ain't what they used to be in Alaska, and its because of Colby Mac- donald and his friends, They're gBrabbers—that’s what t are, Later Diliot put this viewpoint be- fore Strong. “There's something in it,” the miner reed. “Wages have gone down, lows are consolidating interests, Alaska ain't @ poor man’s country the way it was, But Mac ain't to blame for that. He has to play the game the way the cards are dealt out.” ‘The sky was clear again when the Hannah drew in to the wharf et At the end of the wharf he passed Miss O'Neill, She wore no rubbers and she had come to a halt at the beginning of the mud. After a mo- mentary indecision she returned slowly to the boat. The young man walked up into the town, but ten minutes later he crossed the gangplank of the Hannah again with a package under his arm, H6 moved over to where she sat and lifted his hat, “I hope you won't think it a liberty, Miss O'Neill, but I've brought you some rubbers ‘trom @ store uptown. I noticed you could not get ashore without them.” Gordon tore the paper wrapping trom his package and disclosed half a dozen pairs of rubbers, The girl was visibly embarrassed, She was not at all certain of the right thing to do, Where she had been brought up young men did not offer courtesies of this sort so in- formany, “I—I think I won't need them, thank you. I've decided not to leave the boat,” she answered shyly. “Finest town of its kind in Alaska,” said the purser, ‘They're 80 proud ot it in this burg that they would like to make it against the law for any one to leave without seoing it, Every one takes it in. We won't got away till night, You've plenty of time if you want to see it” “Now, will you please introduce me to Miss O'Neill formally?” ‘The purser went through the usual formula of presentation, adding that Elliot wag a Government official on his way to Kuslak. Having done bis duty by the young man, the busy supercargo retired. “I’m sure it would do you good to walk up to the waterfall with me, Miss O'Neill,” urged Elliot. She met a little dubiously the smile that would not stay quite extin- guished on his good-looking, boyish face. Why shouldn't she go with him, since it was the American way for unchaperoned youth to enjoy itself naturally? “If they'll fit,” the girl answered, eyeing the rubbers. Gordop dropped to his knee and demonstrated that they would, As they walked along the muddy street she gave him a friendly little nod of thanks, "Good of you to take the trouble to look out for me.” He laughed, “It was myself I was looking out for. I'm a stranger in the country and was awfully lone- asked Sheba, “No; but I'H be stationed in the Territory for several months, I'll be in and out of the town a good deal, as I hope you'll let me see something of and it's partly because the big fel- you.” yu. ‘The fine Irish coloring deepened tn her cheeks. He had a way of taking in his stride the barriers between them, but it was impossible for her to feel offended at this cheery, vigor- ous fellow with the winning smile and the firm-set jaw, Gordon respected her shyness and moved warily to establish his con- tact. He let the talk drift to imper- sonal topics as they picked their way out from the town along the Den 4 trail, The ground was spongy wi' water. On elther side of them ferns and brakes grew lush. Sheba took the porous path with a step elastic. ‘To the young man following she seemed a miracle of supple lightness, They were ascending steadily now along a pathway almost too indis- tinet to follow. The air was aromatic with pine from a grove that came straggling down the side of a gulch to the brook, “Do you know, I have a queer feel- ing that I've seen all this before,” the Irish girl said. “Of course, I haven't—unless it was in my dreams.” “We've got off the trail somehow,” Eliot said. “But I don't suppose it matters. If we keep going. we're bound to come to the waterfall.” Beyond the boulder field the ridge rose sharply. Gordon looked a little Gubiously at Sheba. L. you a good climber?” As she stood in the sunpour, her cheeks flushed with exercis see that her spirit courted adventure, “I'm sure I must be,” she with a smile adorable, “T could do the Marathon to-day, tant noise of falling water came faint- ly to them, “We're too far to the left—must have followed the wrong spur,” Biliot explained. “Probably we can cat across the face of the mountain.” Presently they came to an impasse, he could bell The gulch between the two spurs terminated in a rock wal) that fell almost sheer for two hundred feet, ‘Tho color in the cheeks beneath the eager eyes of the girl was warm. “Let's try it,” she begmed. Now and ugain he made @ sugges- tion to the young woman following ‘him, but for the most part he trust her to choose her own foot and hand holds, Her delicacy was silken strong, As Gordon looked down at the dizzy fall beneath them his judgment told him they had better go back, He said as much to his companion, The sinile she flashed at him was delightfully provocative. It served to point the figure she borrowed from Gwen, “So you think I'm @ 'fratd- cat, Mr, Elliot?" Gordon abandoned the traverse and followed an ascending crack In the wall, The going was hard, It called for endurance and muscle, as well as for a steady head and @ sure foot. He looked down at the girl wedged between the slopes of the granite trough, She read his thought, “The old guard never surrenders, eir,” was her quick answer as she brushed in salute with the tips of her fingers o stray lock of hair, “Are you stopped?” asked Sheba. “Looks that way.” A small pine projected trom the edge of the shelf out over the preei- pice, It might be strong to bear his weight. It might not. Gor- ed his belt and threw tree, Gingerly he tested it with his wolght, then went up hand over hand and worked himself over the edge of the little plateau. “All right?” the gin called up, “All right. But you can’t make it, T'm coming down again.” I'm going to try.” “T wouldn't, Miss O’Nefil, It’s real- ly dangerous,” “T’'d like to try it. I'll stop if it's too hard,” she promised. The strength of her slender wrists surprised him, She struggled up the vertical crevasse inch by inch. His heart was full of fear, for a misstep now would be fatal. He lay down with his face over the ledge and low- ered: to her the buckled loop of his belt, Twice she stopped exhauste her back and her hands pressed against the walls of the trough angle for support. ‘ “Better give it up,” he advised, “IN not, then.” She smiled stub- bornly as she shook her head, Presenuy her fingers touched the it. Gordon edged forward an inch or two farther, “Put your hand through the loop and catch hold of the leather above,” he told her. She did so, and at the same instant her foot slipped. The girl swung out into space suspended by one wrist. The musctes of Elliot hardened into steel as they responded to the strain. His body began to slide very slowly down the incline. In a moment the acute danger was past, Sheba bad found « hold with ROWNING may occur In a bath tub or In a few inches of wa if an unconscious person fails face downward in water deep enough to cover the mouth and nostrils, for drowning is really a form of suffooca- tion, Whatever form of resuscitation t adopted, no time is to be lost.
