Show LOAG LIKE AND YOUTH I All Might Grow Old an Youthfully IN Dr Huliiius I I is a crime to grow old The author of this audacious sentiment is not given But some time when the world takes down the siatuesof heroes and notables which cumber i perhaps a tablet will be left to the unknown who thus defied time and change We must all die fortunately it is presumed since the decree has no exceptions ex-ceptions But how will you prove the necessity of growing gray wrinkled and decrepit Neither toil nor trouble alone has power to deface the life which was made to resist to immorality Probably no mortal ever had more to endure or overmastering anxiety and danger than the first statesman of whom we read that he died 120 years old but his eye was not dim nor his natural farce abated There are men and women in societv today who confess calmly to having turned their half l century who wear often the faces o 27 and are at all I times tb young and old alike fascinatIng fascinat-Ing and impressive The handsomest man I ever saw the most captivating and one whom i was impossible ever to forget was a speaker at a scientific meeting 1 man Anywhere between 50 and 60 whosetal elegant figure dark speaking speak-ing eyes and hair untouched by frost charmed and carried away both men and women spite of age and study Why should we be afraid of gaining In years any more than gaining in wit tact and savior faire which are the increase of years If there were room and need for another society on this planet of ours it should be an association against growing old Twenty people resolved to do all in their power to resist the usual encroachments of time and to study the best means Of preventing the disabilities of old age would have a wonderful effect on society The continent con-tinent Is not wanting In savants who have made it a study to discover the laws of the long life and youthfulness with ho small success Those who have seen Dr Oliver Wendell Holmes Olver Wendel going down School street or about the alcoves al-coves of the Boston library with the step of 20 and the fun of a schoolboy t flashing his face will hardly need persuading that intelligent care might i carry many another down to the70s with even less of the waymarks oft of-t time without grizzling or thinning hair shrunken limbs or worse port ness For above all things the old should be spare of figure and active having less of the burdens of mortality and knowing better how to carry them So far the best light thrown by modern mod-ern research upon the question ojf preserving pre-serving youth Is the discovery f the Italian savant who says that life and well being depend more upon the per ret discharge of wastes from the system sys-tem thus preserving the purity and circulation of the blood than upon any other conditions Taken by and large the decisions of medicine and long livers liv-ers come to the same conclusion Those Impolite organs which make Tso much trouble for human flesh

Wrinkles for instance What causes them Loss of the natural moisture of the skin which feeds the tissues full I as those of a rose steeped over night in vapor and dew Loss of that thin I layer of fat scarce thicker than a sheet of C tissue paper which underlies the I skin of the finest beauty like the film of wadding with which dressmakers i j interline finest silks to give them smoothness Loss of nutrition and nerve force underlying these conditions and counting as final physical causes countng And this Is far enough to go for the cause of the evil All we have time foils foi-ls how to counteract them CREATION OF GOOD COMPLEXION The complexion of American w < men has improved remarkably In fifteen years since they learned as a canon of good looks to take their beefsteaks properly broiled instead of friad dry to eat roast beef with the juice in and allow oatmeal in some shape to counteract coun-teract the dyspeptic consumptive influences in-fluences of white bread What they must next learn is that a rather sedentary nervous brainus ing race needs all the phosphates and food delicious particles of wheat for staple foodYou cant get out of it the microscope micro-scope will show you that the white flour bread throws away just the particles par-ticles needed for beauty of complexion the phosphorous next the flinty outer coat which supplies vigor flesh and nerve in a wonderful wag to be tested by any one who will eat whole meal bread and cracked wheat twice a day and the delicate flinty layer outside the kernel which counteracts greatly the most baneful effects of our housed inactive in-active lives actve lve Any possible harm which facile doctors doc-tors predict from the effect of this si l lex coating on the weakened worn out mucous membrane of city female patients pa-tients is nil when the wheat Is ground to the standard of wheat meal for bread or the finer whole wheat flour The slight wholesome irritation of sluggish slug-gish Internal tissue by the Infinitesimal Infinitesi-mal particles of silex is as desirable as the stir of blood by exercise or the electric current or the dash of a cool bath I Is qne of the things which make for health and without which healh there can be no clearness of complexion 3r rose of beauty long HOW TO EAT BREAD Another point vital to force life and looks is that of properly baked and rip med bread that Is crusty bread not less than twentyfour hours from the oven Microscopy shows fearful irreparable Injury by this one evil of daily fresh yeast bread universal In villages and cities The reason Is simple the ferment fer-ment does not pass from yeast to bread of any sort In less than twentyfour hours and eaten before that stage i I sets up and keeps up a fermentation of food certainly destructive to health and life lifeOur Our most common and painful ailments ail-ments the early decay and death of our most promising American families unquestionably are due to this almost universal use of new fermented bread The opinion of the most eminent doctors doc-tors and mlcroscopists agrees that neither alcohol nor any other cause has so much to do with the ill health and ill looks of American people as their habitual use of bread new from the baking Diseases of defective nutrition rise from feeding on white flour bread an aemia consumption and their related crew of pneumonia influenza and nervous ner-vous failure diseases of disordered nutrition nu-trition from the fermentation Induced by fresh yeast food are a more dreaded list peritonitis gastric ulcer acute indigestion In-digestion and the ugly morbid deposits of ulcer and tumor cancer and sarcomas sarco-mas in endless variety If any woman wishes for a lucid fine I fne grained Complexion she must avoid fresh yeast bread and white bread of ill kinds as she would infection Cef ain favored constitutions may resist the effects of such fare as others resist re-sist poisons but to secure a fine skin without failure the old whole meal bread Is Indispensable Well you say our greatgrandmith ers had the coarse brownbread lifelong life-long yet they grew old and wrinkled Yes but we have advantages of them in other ways which Ishould tel for longer lease of youth We do not toll as they did over brewtub and loom or have their huge families to rear and we have more to interest and stimulate Old men and women uf those days took a bath once a year 01 In sickness and they knew no more of our delicate efficient cosmetics than hey did of photography HOME TREATMENT FOR WRINKLES WRINK-LES The finest of those cosmetics forwarding for-warding off wrinkles Is water The i practice Of experienced beauties Is to wash the face well at night with soap and hot water if possible wiping on a warm damask towel Then follows the merest trace of a very refined clean pomade which Is worked into the wrinkles and folds of face and neck with the fingers avoiding all irritant massage Rubbing which leaves the face red and tingling sooner or late brings out hair on the skin The same cool pomade is rubbed on the lips which lose their beauty early in our dry atmosphere Mornings this Is washed off with warm water followed by a tepid rinse and sponged with cold sea water which Is sovereign for preserving the freshness of the face Sea salt dls l i tii ful to a quart may be bottled when cool and kept ready for use The ultimate effect of the hot and cold sponging keeps the skin In high nervous ner-Vous condition preserves its contractility contrac-tility and prevents It from bagging and wrinkling Holding the head up and keeping the shoulder blades flat prevent those ugly folds of the throat which are anything but the collier de Venus as artist name the beginning of these lines In i youth The remedy in pomade patient pa-tient massage frequent rather than rasping wearing a bandage wet in ho water ten or fifteen minutes before going go-Ing to bed and the cold salt water daily This will do for home treatment treat-ment A SPECIALISTS DISCOVERY A specialist has a delightful new method for smoothing out lines of the face far more effective than any massage mas-sage or steaming or anointing A warm fragrant application which soothes every nerve is brushed over the face and sets In a mask not in the least stiff or unpleasant and left on for half an hour There Is something nervine In the mixture I think for it quiets neuralgia exquisitely and one wants to go to sleep under It The reluctantly you allow it to be pulled gently from the skin which appear Infantile after the process i This is the last refinement of toile art and I have seen a careworn face of 50 come out absolutely free from wrinkles after one application Of course no face will remain so wit only one treatment but the effect Is i very prompt and lovely without the slightest harm A FRESHENING LOTION If you want something besides saltwater salt-water or if your face Is coarse use onethird each of cologne rose water and purified glycerine rubbed Into the jsklp Keep this in one of the little Japanese tea bowls with close cove and a fine sponge ready to apply the soothing lotion twenty times a day In i these L dry parching days which winter win-ter or summer keep the skin draw and burning The air is often very much drier in winter than the rest of the year and tries the complexion more When the warm moist unseasonable unseason-able days set In and everybody talks of feeling bilious take a hot Jeamonade instead of other beverages Take a i c a r big tumblerful three times a day If doctors proscription you are sleepless try my scription of a hot lemonade with two or three spoonfuls of whisky on retiring retir-ing Do not exceed the doseand you will find yourself sleeping like a baby after It when bromides are worse than useless Sleep smoothes jout wrinkles as with the water from the fountain of and fresh air will do the rest youth SHIRLEY DARE |
