A good lotion is made by chopping the cu- cumbers up and then adding just enough water to keep them from sticking—no more than this. Let them simmer on a slow blaze until soft aid mushy, Then strain them througa gauze and add an equal part of alco- Lol. This preserves the lotion, I have had many letters from women who have used this simple home prepara- tion with much benefit for tan and Nabby yellow skin. PASTE FOR RED, ROUGH HANDS -MRS. KATE I’.: Melt a cup of pure, frésh mutton tallow and add to it one cup of shaved pure castile \olive oll) soap. Then add two cups of olive er ewect almond oil and lastly a cup of brandy. Beat the first three in- gredients until nearly thick before adding the brandy. Half of this quan- tity 1s enough to last a long time. You! may add a few drops of any desired | essence to perfume this e if you desire. Spread on the hands after washing and wear loose gloves to keep the paste on. Cut the fingers out of the gloves to permit air and circula- tion through the hands. ASTRINGENTS—L. H. G.: No, do not unix the peroxide, buttermilk, lemon, juice and other astrinyents re- cently mentioned for flabby neck, Use any one of them separately. OBESITY DIET IN FULL—MRS, MORRIS D. (By many requests): What, you. may eat—All meats but pork In any form—ham, bacon, &c, all fowl, game and poultry excopt gooses) all fish, shellfish, oysters clams, lobsters, shrimp and any sea food but salmon and bdluefish, which Jare rich in oil, ‘These should oe | baked or broiled and served without | butter or cream sauces. Meat jellies and thin soups are allowed—no cream soups, All dark breads and toast. Boston brown bread is not allowed, All fruits except bananas and gra Vegetable and fruit salad those made from forbidde vegetables), cooked dressing 1 without oil, Dre: Juice they are and beneficial in the reduction of flesh. The following vegetables are allowed in the obesity diet: Cabbage, cooked or raw; kale, Brussels sprouts and sourkraut, string beans, turnips, canlifiower, celery, beets, beet tops, radishes, artichokes, celery root, let- tuce, chicory, romaine, endive, ese plant (baked), escarole, tomatoes peppers, parsnips, onions, cucumbers, mushrooms, All dried fruits, cooked and raw, may be eaten, When cooked thay should be sweetened with sac- charine and eaten without milk or sugar, Gelatin, meat jellies, prunes, rhubarb, berries and water ices may be eaten, Buttermilk, skim milk, sumtk (beaten sour milk), cider, lem- onade, without sugar, allowed. No alcoholics are allowed, A casual glance at this list will convince even the most sceptical that the obesity dict 1s not necessarily the starvation one, and I have printed what you MAY eat rather than what you must avold, just to prove how great a va- riety of foods may be indulged in by women who really want to low weight. No fried foods, sravi cream soups, starches, sweets, dies, pastries, cakes, ice cre: lowed. BLEACHING A SWITCH—ETHEL K.; Most persons do not have success bleaching switches, and you would be jwise to take it to a convenient haire dresser to have it made the shade to match your own hair, ed with plain lemon articularly healthful Housewife’ s Scrapbook : RATING horseradish is often an unpleasant task. Why not put it through the meat chopper? Yor will get the same results with less work. To caramel sweet potatoes, boil them, then slice and dip first in melt- ed butter then in granulated sugar and put the slices into a hot oven until a coating of brown caramel is formed. Potatoes cooked in ary heat as bak- ing, roasting and steaming in thei jackets should 1» served as oon as they are done to .revent them from becoming’ soggy. If they mist stand a while, prick the skins when the potatoes are done. any potatoes ‘cooked in their jackets will become dark and sogsy !f left standing in a closely covered saucepan, but break the skins and leave the vessel par- tially uncovered and the potatoes m be kept warm without deterioration in flavor, Never use hot water for washing silks, It will turn wiite silk yellow and will fade co’ ied silks, To a little brighten colored rilke add vinegur to the lum rinsing water. Ink stains can be taken out of silk, cotton or woolen fabrics if the spot is saturated with spirits of turpentine and allowed to remain for several hours, after which the stained ma- terial should be rubbed between the hands, This is a simple treatment that will not injure the fabric, If the cupboard seems musty upon your return home from your vacation put an ounce of spirits of Javender and a lump of salts of ammonia in an open jar and leave it in the cup- board. Do not iron black stockings. Fre- quent ironing makes them fade and tarn a brownish shade. After they are washed and dried simply smooth them out well with the hands.
