day is usually one which wilts col

Wise indeed ia the housekeeper
who decides to mak her Ice cream
at home. Along with everything
else the price of the commercial
variety has been fedosted and it la
certainly a great economy-to make
It at home. The housewife need
.not make it of pure cream. She

evaporated or cpndensed milk, both
of which resulted ia an excellent

DO you believe in washing the
skin .with soapf in . warm '
weatber? RUTH. '
By all means. How else .would
you cleanse, the pores' of their ac-
cumulation bf dirt and grime? But
let . me make you wise tj a most
excellent beauty wrinkle. . When
ever you need to use soap on your
face, whether in Summer-or Win- '
ter, you will find it helpful first to
rub in a little cold cream. Leave
the cream pn until you start wash
ing your face, then you can rub it
off with the soapy face cloth. This
will prevent or neutralize the harsh
effect that soap sometimes has on
" delicate, skins.
Mir bust Is very large. Please
let me know what yot ad
vise about reducing it. D.
. In my ' opinion it would not be
1 wise for you to attempt any dras
i tio method of reducing the bust
because there is too much danger
of inducing dangerous and painful
growths by manipulating or fool
ing with these delicate tissues. I
have only yout best interests at
heart when I advise you to leave
your bust severely alone. Wear a "
tight-fitting brassiere and bathe
the breasts 'daily with very cold
water to which ten -or fifteen drops
.cf benzoin or a tablespoonf ul of
alt have been added. I - '
' yOU have frequently men-'
tioned lanolin as a tissue
builder.' How should it be used
and Is It better than cocoa-butter?
A. H.
Beth Are about equally good, A
think. But cocoa-butter is an IrrS
tant to some skins and lanolin sel
dom ls.v Fof this reason ! prefer
to recommend lan61in for constant
use. The best waTy to apply it is
to cleanse the skin' thoroughly at
night with warm water and a mild
soap. Then' upon the parts you
wish' to build up Spread a small
quantity of the . lanolin smoothly
and evenly wlth'the fingers mas-,
saging It well into the skin until
a tingling, healthful glow results.

ket of the old familiar type, with a
can of heavy tin plate and an outer
tub of wood. Tne use of the inner
.tin can permlfp rapid changes of
temperature through the can, while
the outer container of wood is a
better insulator, and therefore
keeps the iee from melting and
keeps the contents as cold as pos
sible. 1 .
Although I - have used many
freezers I atn frank to say that I
prefer one with an outer wooden
tub to that which has a metal outer
tub. The latter does not keep cjld
as long. : $
The important joints in select
ing a freezer is the kind of dasher.
,The dasher, which has a spoon
shaped or slotted mixer, naturally
whips the , cream better than a
plainer one. The idea is that as
this dasher" revolves its aerating
spoon whips th cresrm and thus
gives a Smooth and delicate tex
ture. It is the dasher which whips
the cream as it is frozen that re
sults in the peculiarly American
type of Ice cream.
Freezing is done by means of a
"mixture of ice and salt in certain
proportions-Many women do, not
know why they add salt to the ice.
Put a thermometer in a bowl of ice
and it will register 30 or 32 de
grees, while If we mi salt with it
it may go down to zero. Many who
have had poof results in making
lee cream at home, or where the
Ice creard has taken too long to
freeze, probably did not use suffi
cient salt, - The right proportion is
one cup of salt to two cups of -shaved
or small chopped lee.
An leer shaver should be used
and not an ice pick- An ice shaver
"or chipper will shava a block of
ice in a few moments' into the exact
size pieces necessary to obtain the
best results. Such a chipper costs
a quarter and la far preferable to
- the old way of f ounding the ice In
a bag with a hammer. -
The mechanism , of the freezes
should bee go protected that no ice
or lilt can possibly reach the
cream or corrode the gears. All its
parts should also be easily accessi
ble for scalding. ",. The cylinders
should be heavily retinned so there
will be no danger of the metal
wearing off.

Electrolysis is really -the only

moles and similar blemishes. Go

him' confidentially if he would ad

Drowning Occidents
By Bricd Belden,f. D.
y-THERE Is nothing, in the pop
11 ular notion that a, drowning
I person must rise to the sur
face three times, before final sub
mergence. .He may never come to
the surface after the first sinking
or he may appear several times.
All children should learn to swim
apd should develop confidence in
the water, since bysterical fear
plays a very Important part In
most drownings.
i Whether the victim Is unable to
swim at all or is a novice or Is a
good swimmer ' who has become
fatigued. and lost his nerve, panic
usually figures in the tragedy,
j The frightened person attempts'
to scream and inhales water after
the Attempted scream has emptied
hie lungs. This, of course, in
creases the hysteria. -
J One so situated should jkeep the
mouth , shut and keep his head
above water if possible bf treading
water dr paddling dog fashion.
Another person should not be
seized.
' i In addition to learning how to
swim one should; cultivate confi
dence, -upon the water by rowing
and sailing. boats.
.jTwo minutes submersion usually
causae death. Tbla is no reason,
howeter, why efforts to resuscitate
apparently JrOned persons should
be given u for even after five
minutes submergence lives have
been saved by persistent treat
ment. ". " . ,

able to swallow, a rescued person
should be gitn hot coffee. If be
is unable to swallow. It may be
given by, enema. Wrap the patient
In blankets and use hot water bot- '
ties wrapped with towels, so as -not
to burn him. v:'
Clear the mucns from the nose -and
month, loosen the clothing and
lay the patient on his stomach,
with the head lower than the body;
so that the water can pass oat of
the windpipe, lungs and stomach
by- gravity. Then apply artificial
respiration by Shafer'a method,,
which is the best,
In applying this method not only
does the water pass out by gravity.

remove with cold cream.
- A face bath of buttermilk, taken .
every night, is especially helpful
in removing freckles. The acid in
the buttermilk causes the outer
scales of the skin to come off, and
with them often come the freckles
unless they happen to be too deep
seated. . , ' !
.Boiled fresh, "beans, mashed with
a potato mashjer to the consistency:
of thick- soup and applied to the
skin for several nights', have cured
ordinary freckles with ease. v
For the more obstinate cases, .
here Is one recommended by a
well-known . skin specialist. It
should be used Just before retiring;
and then be removed from the skin
after a few minutes by the appli
cation of warm waier or cold
cream: Glycerine, 3 otmces; tino
ture of iodine, 1 ounce; oil of tur
pentine. 1 pint; pulverized cam
phor gum, H ounce;-liquid honey, '

It you are afflicted with a red
nose, whether from indigestion or
anaemia, then you must be careful
bat yoo do not wear any of your
clothes too tight. It is best, too,
to take a treatment including more
fre'8tt air, more nourishing food and
more iron. .
Tight clothes may cause redness
bt the nose by impairing the circu
lation. Many a- woman has re
stored kter nose to normal color by
wearing larger corsets or by loos
ening the Strings of the old one.
Remember that the causes of red
nose and cold feet are .the same r
. defective circulation. ; : I
Bathing the nose with hot water
relieves congestion of j the blood
vessels, Just -as this condition caa

chest with both hands, the fingers
being parallel with the lower ribs.
Squeeze firmly Inward and upward
while counting one,' two, three
slowly, then ' suddenly relax' the
pressure. All depends ! upon this
sudden relaxation. Success Is in
dicated by a gasp. Repeat until
resuscitation is complete. j
One way of bringing in a victim:
is to grasp him by the hair at
arm's length, he being on his back,
and tow him In. j . j
Another method is for the res
cuer to swim on his back, holding
the victim's head above "water bf
grasping the sides of his head, the
victim also being on bis back. Or
a hold may be taken further downs
In the, victim's armpits. I . f
Still another choice is to enclrcls)
the victim's chest with the left
arm, he again being on his bad
and resting against the rescuer'a
left hip. This leaves the rescuer
right arm and legs free.-
In the "tired swimmer's carry
the swimmer takes a floating pos
ture and peaces hie arms on the)
rescuer's shoulders, with the arms
stiff. The rescuer, facing and
swimming over him, pushes the
victim in. - . . . j
To break the clutch of a fright
ened person there are two effee
tlve methods, depending upon how
one has been grasped, j If the res
cuer has been grasped around ths
neck from the front place the right
hand against tLe victim's chin and
push backward until the grip la
broken. If the -rescuer has been
seized around the neck from be
hind, grasp the victim's wrists, and
after breaking the lock; dive under
the victim's encircled i arms - and
swim free. :
. After a person has been resusci
tated from drowning, or after an ex
hausting rescue, the victim shpuld
have a prolonged rest, for the as
plfyxfa and straggling cause dilata
tion of the heart, and some time
will be required for restoration ot
the cardiac balance. ' These ra,
marks also Save more kr less ap
plication to the rescuer. If there)
is any pre-existing heart trouble or
other disability., such a precaution
becomes the more imperative.
Whiskey or brandy is frequently
advised in drowning case, but it
will be : far wiser, to depend upon
external heat and such stimulants
as coffee and aromatic spirits of
ammonia. The physician may, of
course, be obliged to employ
"stronger stimulants,!: perhaps by
hypodermic injection. Alcohol is a
depressing narcotic and. also. low
