Show The Quest for Beauty j (BY MADAME MADELEINE MAREE1 J Mrs. L: The very best hair tonic that I know of 1h made by mixing linlf a pint of water with half a pint of nlcohol. then nddlnjr one ounce of beta-cnnthol. I nm Mure this will stop your hair falling- out nnd promote ILs growth. You can not betn-cftnthol from anv drugglHt In one-ouncn one-ouncn bottles, nnd this will mnke a full pint of hair tonic. Miss Ij. M.: I wouldn't advise you to uso tho electric needle for removing superfluous su-perfluous Imlr unless you nro piiro the operator is an expert. You can easily remove re-move tho haira yourself by mixing a little lit-tle delol powder with enough warm water to make a past. Smear over tho hairs to be removed, leave on for a few inlnntee. then scrape off nnd the hairs will come off with the paste. You can get this delol from any first cla?s drug store. Miss Jennie IC. Wrinkles aro caused by an Impoverished condition of the slcln. The skin needs food as well ns anything else. Tho best way to focd the skin Is by massaging with a gocxl cream. The very best I know of Is made by heating a pint of water to boiling point, thon add throe ounces of cerol and stir constantly until cold. Massage morning and night with this and your wrinkles will soon tils-appear. tils-appear. Anna IL: Thse yellow spots on vour face are probably caused by a bad stomach stom-ach and inactive liver. Take n table-spoonful table-spoonful of olive oil very nlsht and morning for three weeks, nnd havo vour drugglHt fill this prescription; Compound tincture of cinchona, on ounce; propone compound, ono ounce; sherry wine, half a pint. Tnlce a tensnoonful beforo meals and at bed tim?. This will set your stomach stom-ach right and the oil will start your liver to nctlon. Mrs. IT. IT.. I know just, how you feci. There Is nothing so uncomfortable as tired, aching, tender, swonty feet We don't give our feet tho attention they nevl. I know you will get an ounce boltlt of boro Ilstor from your druggist, dissolve this Jn one and a half plntn of boiling water, thon add half a pint of alcohol. al-cohol. Now. every night, put a couple of tablespbonfuls of this solution In a basin of water and bathe the feet.; you'll be surprised at tho Instant relief you will get. Mrs. A. C. B,; Do not u?o these so-called so-called dry shampoos on your hair. They're usually made of fttrong alkalies that dry tho hair out. making it brittle and lifeless. life-less. 1 nevor recommend anything but an egg for n shampoo. If you want a dry hair tonic you can make this bv mixing mix-ing two ounces of capthol with four ounces of powdered orris root; rub thla well Into tho roots of the hair once a dav until tho hair stops falling ami dandruff disappears. Rose Bud- If you will get a package of amarol from your druggist, dissolve tin contents In a pint of hot water, use on the. hands and fnco after washing, and drying. 1 am sure you will not complain of red hands nnd face, as this lotion will keep them soft and white. You'll not need to uso powder when vou use this amarol lotion. Mrs. Jpsle Ale: There Is only one way! to get rid of the unsightly pimples, and 1 thai Is through the blood. Get an ounce 1 bottle of Sarsene from your druggist. Dissolve half a pound of granulated sugar in enough water to make a pint nnd add the sarseno. Take two tea-spoonfnls tea-spoonfnls three or four times a day. and you'll soon drive thene impurities from your blood. W. IC. : I do not know of anything to 1 suit your case and would advise you to consult a good physician. Mrs. C. S.: The Vaucnirc treatment Is very highly recommended for dpveloplng the bust, but I understand that tho teadymade kinds do not give verv good satisfaction. Thin Is probablv dur to the fact that cheap drugs are used In the manufacture. If you will make a pint of sugar syrup then get ono ounce of gallol from your druggist, iidd it lo the syrup and take one or two tcn.snoonfuls three or four times a dny and drink plenty of water, yon will get wonderful results. II usually takes several months for a complete treatment, so do not bo discouraged nt first. The true pnllol comes In one-ounce bottles oiilv. It Is qullo expensive, but an ounc mnkes a pint of remedy, which will last for n month. Mnml W.: Borothol solution is the best preparation I know of for eczema.
