LONDON (Ai .Beauty secrets
30(i years old are now1 being sought
by actresses and iety folk from
a dug-eared and faded "Magic"
hook 'of the st-venteentireenlury.
Between Its worn covers are re- i

famous beauties of past ages, I
which, judging by (he mark their
I users made in history, have' a po-
tcney little short of magic. '
"Three centuries ago, women
made, their own beauty prepara

a precious legacy from mother lo ;

Bond, owner of the book. "They i
were concocted in the still-room '.

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.
