' "Three centuries ago, women made, their own beauty prepara tions which" were handedadown us a precious legacy from mother lo ; daughter," said Miss Charlotte ! Bond, owner of the book. "They i were concocted in the still-room '. guarded secrets." Among the quaintly pharsed pre- j Kcrlptions in the book Ih a "pack" ; of rose, leaves, made moist ami 1 bound on the face with muslin.

Often severe colds are serious. If a cold "hangs on" long, it is wise to spend a few days in a hospital. Influenza may often be attributed to neglect in taking proper care of a cold. A hospital offers you a place to -rest and recuperate; offers you cool, airy rooms, the best of scientifically prepared foods and the personal service of capable, graduate nurses. All of this service costs no more than the charges at a first class hotel. YOUR hospital is a public service institution, main tained for YOU and at your service whenever you wish to avail yourself of its accommodation.
