Diet, Care Needed in Skin Health
By Ertta Haley
KIN should be at Ita beat during
warm months, well colored,
amooth and satiny. Summertime,
however, for muny girls Is the time
when they encounter most of their
difficulties.
Sun and wind can do unpleasant
things to the skin unless you're
careful Both of them can be drying
to the extreme unless the skin has
adequate protection.
Too much sun when the skin can
not "take It" w ill result In a severe
and uncomfortuble burn, to say
nothing of the fact that It may be
ruinous to the appearance. Sun

rays of the sun providing vitam in

or ten minutes a day.
If the skin Is extremely delicate
and sensitive, use uny ot the muny
lotions which perm it tanning w ith
out the discomfort of burning. Even
though you give skin the protection
of a lotion, it's still wise not to sun
without building the time of ex
posure by degrees.

Internally with adequate diet, rest
and cleansing. If the skin is rough

the cause.
Drink plenty of water for a
thorough cleansing of the system.

If there Is danger of bruising the
skin and scarring It, It's best to
continue
applications until the
blackheads yield, rather than treat
the skin roughly to remove them
at one time.

A ftrr Treatm ent
The skin w ill be quite red after
the treatment, particularly in the
areas on which you have concen
trated most. Pat on cream and let
the redness die down.
After the creaming and a lapse
of time, remove cream carefully
and apply wads which have been
dipped in ice water to the skin.
These should be patted in an up
ward direction, with particular
care being used around the eyes.
This application of Ice pads
should be repeated several times as
it shrinks the pores and helps c ir
culation, the astringent action of
the cold drawing blood to the sur
face of the skin. The better the c ir
culation. the easier it is for the
blood to carry away impurities
from the skin.

only by stirring a brisk circula
tion that w ill flood the skin with a
tinge of pink color that's desirable.
After you've checked the above
pointers, then start on external
care. Delicate skins with fine grain
and a tendency to dryness may
have to depend on creams and lo
tions for their cleansing. Average
skins do well to combine soap and
water cleansings with those of
cream. Coarse, oily skin Is best
treated with consistent applications
of soap and water.
Ilo w to Solve
Special Skin Defects
Blackheads and whiteheads arc
common evidences of pore irregu
larities. They are both the result of
oily accumulations. When the pores
are open and the oily deposit col
lects grime, a blackhead results.
When the oily deposit is under the
skin, it Is called a whitehead.
Cleansing is the answer to treat
ing blackheads. The skin may be
creamed or washed with soap and
water, or both of these operations
may be combined for best éffect.
Hot applications may also be
used on the face to open the pores
and remove the grime. Another
good idea is to use warmed oil and
dab this on the skin with a clean
pad or swab of cotton. When the
skin is thoroughly warm and re-
ECENTLY 1 was a delegate to a
big New York convention in
the interests of better citizenship.
Hundreds of earnest, experienced
men and women were there to
make reports and speeches: the
attorney general of the United
States spoke; the mayor of the
greatest city spoke.
The finest talk I heard, and it
was in line with many others, was
made by a white-headed, eloquent
woman who asked us all to get into
politics.
Oh, she didn’t mean that you
were to leave the children’s lunches
and the washing-machine and the
vacation outing and “ run" for
something. What she asked was
that you and I and everyone of
us go to the little insignificant local
political meetings, study the candi
dates for mayor and school board
and state offices right in our own
towns, hear men discuss measures
and candidates—even if it is only
for the job of deputy sheriff in a
crossroads village of fifty souls.
Fatal Indifference

A pair of newlyweds moved into
a flat over a stationery store. One
evening, the wife absent-mindedly
left the faucet running in the wash
basin—with the plug in! During the
night, water leaked steadily through
the floor and dripped onto some
merchandise in the store below
The merchant later filed suit tor

tested that the mishap had been
"absolutely unintentional,” but the
court decided they were liable any
how. The judge said that each
tenant in a building must use “ rea

A congresswoman, smart and
busy and well paid and revelling
in the excitement of Washington,
talked to me of this last week.
She has three sons, now 27, 24, and
19. She is a grandmother.
"Our town has less than 3,000
inhabitants," she confided to me.
“ Phil and I got the habit of going
to little political meetings about 10
years ago.
"We began to make inform al un
important little speeches here and
there. I was sent as a delegate to
the state capital, lunched with the
governor, heard all sorts of talk,
and came home thrilled. Three
months later some women—and
some men, too, called on me and
asked me to run for state senator.
I won.
"There was a lot of political
housecleaining to do and I plunged
into it. Two or three big municipal
abuses went down like packs of
cards. It sounds terribly form id
able; it wasn't. It was just some
unscrupulous men taking advan
tage of the political apathy ot all
the rest of us.
“ Then to my amazement I was
running for congress, and saw my
picture on all the fences. And it
all started with our giving about
two evenings a month to exciting,
interesting, constructive political
talk.”
