with, ' lace your '.corset : properly,' Tha

Lotion of White Violets
MOLLT The following is a I very
"pleasant mouth wash: Two ounces rec
tified spirits of wine, one ounce essence
"of violets, one-half dram spirits of pep- ,

spoonful to a glass of water. '
N In walking ; take a free, firm easy ;
stride; carry the body erect the chest
I well forward; awing the limbs from tha
hips, bending the knees but allghtly.
Walking to t the best-known of exer
clses, because It is. a common everyday
"occurrence, and is -therefore most nat
ural. Walk aa mariy miles as you can -
without becoming fatigued. ' ' ,X , - r

FANNT A mouth wash that will do .
much to preserve 'the teeth and keep
. them white Is made as follows: Rub
i together in a mortar one-halt ounce
each of pulverised borax and strained .
honey; then add gradually one pint of
: pure alcohol and one-halt ounce each .
of gum myrrh and red saunders wood.
Let. the whole stand In a large-mouthed
: glass bottle for two weeks. Shake the
,. bottle occasionally. Pass through 4 111
6 tering paper and- it Is ready for use.
When the scalo has dandruff the head
should be shampooed frequently. An '
another Ucer In tha eyelets where tha
first lacer ends; lace this to the bottom
of the corset and tie. leaving a loop
each s!4at tha waist Una to
up and Wed after the corset Is adjusted.
- This lacer must be a long one to ad
mit of the corset being well loosened
, before puttin on. ; .
. now stretch the lower lacer to Ita
fullest extent and hook tha loose Corset
as low on tha body as possible; In fact,
fasten tha top of tha corset around tha
'waist; next, fasten tha stocking sup
porters to the stockings and adjust tha
under garment so that there are .no
wrinkles; pulling It up In front and at
tha sides so that It wUl not draw and
' Interfere with, free motion of the arms.
With one hand hold the corset firmly
down In place, while, with the other, lift
the body inside the corset; now gently
draw up the lacera at the waist Una un
til the corset rises Into place and feels
comfortable. Tie the lacera at the back;
never tie them around the waist line,
where they are likely to cut the corset,
breaking or bending the bones,
Sometimes tha lacers.are brought to
the front, one end . passed under tha
stocking supporter, where It meets tha
other end and Is tied at the aide at tha
corset's edge. This, however, must ba
' 1 accomplished with' care or there will
be a tendency to lift Jhe corset after
so much pains has been taken to keep
it down. - .' .'-'
Now, i want you to realise that tha
whole secret of comfort and healthful-
' ness lies right here; the pressure from
tha corset must be up In which case It
acts as an abdominal support Instead
. of (aa in old-Urn 'manner) pressing and
i dragging the body down and causing all
sorts Of Internal disorders and suffering.
The adjusting ot,he corset will be a
bit of trouble at first, but It la well
. worth while.- For health's sake. -leant

Against the tittles
CONSTANT READER Addresses of
dealers or commercial rstes are never
given m this column; but to procure
the Vauealre remedy . I ahould advise
that you go to your own druggist and
have him prepare the prescription' , for

you ask him 'to nama acme reputable

"' . Sleepiness '

Narcotics Art Harmful '

as they do not produce restful sleep and
are followed by injurious effects. If you
take plenty -of exerciso during the day
and walk la the open, air aa much aa
possible, you will find that aleep wilt
come naturally at bedtime. A glass of
warm milk taken before retiring, very,
often produces aleep. I
. Massage the Scalp

For. greasy, moist hair tho following

might help bring a glow to your cheeks;
also cold baths and brisk rubbings. Get

As to the pimples and blackheads, sea
that your digestion is good and your
