Keeping "Susan y Fit
By MwChmUne Fredenck,
Tie Distinguished Authority Household Efficiency,.
ET us call the young daughter ergy to stand, or do desk work, or
I In the home "Susan." Waal
should she be given to oat to
keep her pretty, to keep her bloom
ing, to develop her Into healthy
-womanhood, and also to furnish her
enough energy with which to -play,
to work, to dance, as all "Susans"
do?
There was a -time (so wt Hera,
from history and novels) when to
he oallid and "ill" was the POPUW
poe of the young gtrL Recall the
many neromes wno -rau hw a
swoon" or whose appetite was "like
a bird's." Why, Elaine' and
'Queecby' and "Amelia Sedley"
spent their lives In one long,
swooning Illness! I have often
wondered what they had to eat!
Now those various periods when
"feminine" end "fragile" were syn
onymous, and when It was thought
nothing; unusual for a woman to lie
"ailing" on a couch for years, are
gone forever. Instead we glory in
young women who can swim, play
tennis, "hike," menage a "baser" or
work in a business office for feoijra
at a time without fainting once.
To be well is to he beautiful, and
to be strong is the first step toward
success of aay kind. . Outdoor exer
cise and right feeding these are
the two guardians of health. It is
most Important what Susan la fed
in this period of fourteen to twenty,
when srie it no longer a child nor
yet a woman. Neglect during these
years is bound to react on her state
of health as a mature woman or
mother, and can never be remedied
later.
Let us study this Susan of four
' teen to twenty, whether she Is your
daughter or your neighbor's. In
the first place, her body feat not yet
grown to Its full height, but even
when it has accomplished Its full
adult measure It wilt still have to
be covered with the muscle end tat
which wlU give it the contour and
roundness of woman. Susan is gen
erally la school studying Very hard
at geometry and physics, ambitious
ly pushing ahead with heavy school
work. In addition, she may like to
take part in a large number of
"social" duties, of hops and class
plays and meetings and the general
outside distractions of school life.
This again means using up a tre
mendous amount of nervous energy
beyond what the body needs for its
own use.
Still other daughters may have
to work In office, factory or home,
even as young as fourteen. Here
again Susan will have to use en

light fuzzy hair under my chin
and. on the sides of my face.
S. B.
This superfluous hair is frequent
ly a constant source of annoyance
and even mortification, but there is
no really effective remedy for this
trouble except the use of the elec
tric needle. If this is done by an
expert, the operation should be
quite painless and leave the skin
restored to normal smoothness.
PLEASE tell me of some harm
less method for removing
blackheads. DOTTY.
The most frequent causes of this
distressing condition of the skin
are lack of cleanliness, a faulty
diet and absence of proper exer
cise. Eat only plain and whole
eome foods; eschew candy and too
many sweet, desserts. Take plenty
f fresh fruit, especially oranges,
and live chiefly upon vegetables.
Below is an excellent preparation
which may be applied once a day,
preferably at night, after first
cleansing the skin thoroughly with
warm water and a good soap:

point to emphasize that the food

most Important, to actually de
velop Susan into an adult woman.
All too frequently there is aot

preakdowa" so common la school
years, Sometimes even Susan filly
neea mere tooo to grow on
than
she can assimilate.
Now having explained what
changes are taking place with
Susan, let us see what foods she
must eat to eupply the demands
made on her. Frst, she will need
a large (Ugatity of protein, espe
cially eggs. ttk and the white
meats to actually make body tissue,.
Again, she needs a fair share of
fats, which are beet taken at this
time in the form of butter, olive
and peanut oil, instead of in any
gravies or tried foods which are
more difficult of digestion. An im
mense quantity of starches will
also be needed ia this 'adolescent
period to furnish the required
amount of energy, but they also
should be given in the most digesti
ble form.
The reason for this care in the
form of the food is that Susan's
digestion during this period ia
likely to be weak and her appetite
"finicky." Indeed, it may be neces
sary to coax her to eat the required
amount of nourishment. Some
times her lack of appetite takes
the form of a nNrea,kfaitM Wea,
but she should be urged to take a
breakfast entirely different from
the regular family meal. At U
times the meals should be dainty,
even it it be an egg-nogg and crack
ers, for although she is growing as
fast as her long-legged brother she
hasn't always his "hearty" hunger.
Another point is to vary the meals
frequently even a new kind of
bread or a vegetable served a dif
ferent way or a novel garnish will
make ordinary food seem "differ
ent" and hence more appealing.
Another group of foods which
Susan needi to indulge In gener
ously is the watery .vegetables and
fruits. She will greatly need their
valuable mineral salts to keep her
blood pare during adolescent
changes which pften result ia skin
eruptions; also her body needs

R. K.
Yoq are very evidently suffering
from over-assimilation. The logl
caj thing for you to do Is to change
your diet completely; eliminate as
far as possible all the carbonaceous
foods, such as starches, sweets and
fats and leave off white bread en
tirely. Eat more fresh fruits end
vegetables, though bananas and
potatoes must be omitted, and
butter should he eaten sparingly.
Also, it will help to take all the
out-of-door exercises you can.

anything I can do to reduce

The build of the mouth is such
that it is extremely difficult to re
duce the lips in any way except by
a minor surgical operatidn or the
application of astringent lotions.
However, they may be massaged
with the simple" stroke movement,
moving outward and upward in
stead of inward toward the nose.
Rub gently, but with considerable
pressure, using the first two fingers
of each hand. The following as
tringent preparation will be found
a valuable aid in this connection:
Pulverized tannin 1 gram
Alkanet chips 1 gram
Cold cream 1 ounce
WHAT will take a heavy coat
of tan from my face and
neck? ETHEL.
As a preliminary to any treat
ment of the Tace and throat the
skin must be scrubbed thoroughly
with a good soap and warm water.
Any soap will do, but I prefer a
pure casiile. The use of soap will
have only a strictly whitening ef
fect, so it will be found a valuable
aid in the bleaching process. After
the skin has been thoroughly
rinsed and dried then use a simple
bleach like this, which should be
applied every night before retir
ing: Rosewater ...4 ounces
Glycerine 1 ounce
Tincture of benzoin., jounce

them for bone formation. Another
reason whr Susan should use
plenty of watery fruits and the
"bulk" vegetables is to avoid any
danger of clogging and constipa
tion. It is in these formative
years that "habits" are formed,
and one way to avoid the common
and dangerous habit of constipation
is by early establishing free bowel
movements which will result in
clear eyes and thinking apparatus.
The one group of foods in which
Susan must not indulge is the
sweets and the sugar-starch dishes.
Unfortunately it is fudge and
eclairs and French pastry that
Susan Just "loves!" Here is where
a wise directing mother can be of
the greatest value.

IT is agreed among a Tery large
number of women that the one
and cardinal attraction for man
is the beauty pf women. Certainly
primitive man was allured by phys
ical charm, and, la atU) among un
civilized tribes, says Professor Wat
ter M. Galllchan, i "The Psy

aesthetic standards .. of feminine
loveliness vary all over the globe.
The Hottentots admire fatness ia
women, and the Arabs find the '
greatest, allurement in feminine
slenderness.
Everywhere women shape them
selves by artifice in the manner
most approved by the males. If
the - civilized man insists oa the
charm of an abrorjnal waist, the
most educated of civilized women
are willing to endure the discom
fort and the ill health resulting
from tight-lacing. If the tottering
and eccentric gait caused by the
feminine high-heeled shoo is an at
traction, women will willingly dis
tort their feet.

In all Quarters ofthe world the de
velopment of the breasts and hips
is deemed a sign of womanly
beauty. No doubt the desire for a
'disparity of structure and form in
the two sexes is deep and funda
mental. '
But carriage, as Ellis asserts, has
' decided influence -la selection,
and an awkward gait detracts from
womanly attractiveness-. Plump
nessf the figure is, however, not
necessarily a handicap to graceful
movement. Spanish women tend
to stoutness, but they have the in-ward-curved
, spiae, which lends a
statuesque bearing and aimbleness
in active motion. '
So marked is the masculine de
sire for the generous figure la
woman that there have been per
iods when women wore pads to ac
centuate the abdominal . region.
The crinoline was probably de
signed by a shrewd woman in order
to heighten the suggestion of em
bonpoint. There are, no doubt, exceptions
to this predilection for fullness of
form in women. The poets often

many business firms, too, are in

To review, Susan needs a gener

CORNS are not at all neces
sary. It is easy enough to
get them, I know, but you
need not keep them, unless you
are simply too lazy to take the
needful exertion to remove them.
Appearing usually upon the tops
of the toes, corns are merely hard
ened portions of the skin caused by
continued pressure from shoes. No
Indian ever had a corn until he be
gan wearing the white man's
boots. Corns and bunions are the
record of the fact that the shoe, as
many wear it, is an instrument of
torture. If the corns be new and
not deep-seated, they can be re
moved easily enough by selt-treat-'
ment.
Soak the. feet fifteen to twenty
'minutes in warm water,, softened
by a few drops of violet ammonia
or of benzoin. Bind, a slice of
lemon on the toes, tying it securely
with a bandage of white muslin If
the corn responds naturally to the
treatment it should be so loose
after three or four applications that
you can push It out by gentle fric
tion with a towel. Never use your
finger-nails ia extracting a corn, no
matter how loose ft seems, or blood
poisoning might result.
If, however, the case is more ob
stinate, then this, applied with a,
small camel's hair brush, should be
quickly efficacious; Collodion 4
grams; ether (65 per cent), 2
grams; alcohol (95 per cent.), 1
gram; tincture of cannabis lndlca,
gram; salicylic acid, V gram.
An even simpler and much less
expensive remedy is the following:
Collodion, 1 ounce; salicylic acid, 1
dram; fluid extract of cannis in
dica, 1' scruple. Apply several
times a day until the corn is soft
enough to be scraped away.
If the corns are of the "soft" va
riety that grow between the toes,
absorbent cotton powdered - with
tannin or alam may be Inserted be
tween them at night, and some
times even worn all day with the
shoe.
Ring plasters to protect the
corns from further irritation by
the shoe have their friends and
foes. I think it is much wiser to
remove the . pressure permanently
by abandoning, at least tor a time
the -shoe that caused it.
