rather large amount of pimples I 1 have sponged it in hot and cold water and used many home remedies but have had poor results some folks have advised me to get face cream and such articles my folks do not think it Is necessary I 1 was operated on last year and they say the medicine I 1 took causes it when I 1 went to school I 1 used powder to quite an extreme I 1 thought that was the cause but during the summer months I 1 have tried to use as little as possible and they are the same now what do you think could be the cause what could I 1 do you think a good pow der will cause such thanking you and wishing you lots of success SLIVERS kansas welcome silvers from the sunflower state I 1 would say the cause of your pimples might be from neglect of your skin while using powder excessively of course they may be from a blood disorder in which case this condition will of course have to be corrected in either case I 1 would not advise the hot water but rather you should have a good acne cream and also an astringent cream or lotion use these once or twice each day and always cleanse the face thoroughly before retiring no I 1 do not riot think a good powder would cause this thid condition it if the skin Is prop erly cared for when blackheads and pimples have found a place in your skin it takes time and patience e to re remove move them to A READER idaho thanks very much tor for the song I

here on this earth now tor for my question please give me the exact time to boll plum 40 apple and grape juice for making jelly thanking you in advancer advanced BUSY HOUSEWIFE utah thank you busy housewife it Is wonderful to know you feel I 1 am of real value to your community and now because it Is impossible to give the exact time for boiling the different fruit juices to produce a perfect jelly I 1 will give you a few points which I 1 hope will help you As you know it Is the pectin found in the different fruits which causes the juices to jelly pectin Is at its best when the fruit la is just ripe or a little before it if the juice ferments or the cooking Is continued too long the pectin undergoes a change and loses its power of gelatinizing therefore select plums or grapes which are slightly mash the grapes adding no water add 1 quart of water to I 1 peck of plums add 4 quarts 0 of wate water r to 8 quarts of apples in each case cook slowly and thoroughly and strain the juices adding pint tor for pint of 0 juice and sugar stirring until sugar Is dissolved place over fire and bring to boiling point remove and skim put 14 over fire again and boll and d skim once more boll and skim a third time and then pour into hot glasses and set on a board place the board in a sunny window and cover with a sheet of glass if possible until jelly Is set this may be as soon as cold or it may take several days lacking the glass cover with anything which will protect it from the dust |
