M'SS AV' As your hair is blond, use V a shampoo made by mixing one ounce . of st rained honey, one ounce of rhubarb rhu-barb ftalks and three ounces of white vine. Let it stand over night, strain and apply thoroughly to the scalp and hair, letting it dry on. Wash In clear water. The redness of your hands and mushing frequently is caused by defective de-fective circulation. You should exercise exer-cise regularly and be in the open air all you can. i No Name. Lemon is a good nail bleach, but grease should be applied immediately afterward, as the acid is drying. . Oblige Me. Stop using Castile soap on your face. It disagrees positively I w"'th some skin, and evidently does , with yours. i You will find cold cream far more cleansing than soap, and softening as well. Use the elderflower, rubbing it thickly over the face. Then wipe over firmly but gently with a soft piece of cloth. The most amazing amount of dirt will come oft. I Follow this with washing the face for a couple of minutes in very hot water, using a cloth. This takes out the soiled cream in the pores. Then to a basin of cold water put twelve drops of tincture of benzoin and rince in this. ' jf Do this at night. For blackheads make a. mixture of X one-half ounce of soap liniment and iCT ether. Put this on the spots after t H' " washing as above and let it stay on all (VJfc night, j-! If wished, cold cream may be rubbed f over the face after the washing pre- V - ' scribed, .and stay on all night. It will ot interfere with using the blackhead preparation. 1 f I C.-B. P. Persistent use of hot water f 1 to open the pores, and applications of J I cold cream with massage will do a great deal to improve the conditions. When the pimples are opened always wipe over the spot with a drop of pure alcohol to contract the pore. Be careful care-ful in your diet. The Maternal Instinct. Writing of suicides, Mary E. Brjsn declares that It is a fat that suicide among women is far less frequent than among men. "I believe the r3ason is probably due to the maternal instinct," fhe says. "Whether consciously or unconsciously, un-consciously, the instinct of motherhood even with those.who are not mothers influences women to" self-preserva.-tion. This may come to be otherwise in the day foretold by some sociologists, sociolo-gists, when the maternal instinct shall have died out, the ra.ee being recruited by a chosen few whose offsDrine- the state takes in charge. Should such a condition ever come to pass, it would be when civilization had grown to be mechanical." A SONG OF THE ROAD. Whatever the path may be, my dear. Let, us follow it far away from here. Let us follow it back to yester-year. Whatever the path may be; Again let us dream where the land lies sunriy And live, like the bees, on our heart's old honey. Away from the world that slaves for money, Come, journey the way with me. However the road may roam, my dear. Through sun or rain, through green or sere. Let us follow it back with hearts of cheer. However the road may roam. A Oh, while we walk it here together, V. Why should .we heed the wind and weather, ' f , When there on the hill we'll smell the Vf heather. ' ' i C And see the lights of home. is' Whatever the path may seem, my sweet. Let us take it now with willing feet And time our steps to our heart's glad beat. Whatever the path may seem. Let the road - be rough that we must .follow, - , What care we for hill or hollow, '.J While here in our hearts as high as the f swallow, f :"V! We bear the same loved dream! John's Sister. "Didn't Clara remind you what you were to do ?" "Yes'm. She reminded me, an' kept a-remindin' hie till 'I just made up my mind that I wouldn't." There are a good many people who will sympathize with the boy who gave his answer. For there is something in human nature that rises in rebellion against that vexatious thing we call "nagging." Many a girl with good intentions in-tentions throws her influence on the opposite op-posite side from what she intended, merely because she is not content to let well enough alone. "John, you know you've got twenty minutes of your practicing to finish." "Yes, I know," John's tone is perfectly per-fectly good natured. He does not re--, sent the reminder. "But, John, it's haJf-pajst four. There L is less than two hours till supper time." "I'm going to do it pretty soon, Kit- if ty. I'm not going to stop in the middle , of a charter." y "Yes. but the trouble is you get so in- terested, John. When you've finished this chapter, you'll think you have time J ti read another, and, first thing you know, tlie supper bell will ringand your practicing won't be finished." J After the conversation has continued I- in this strain for a quarter of an hour. John probably begins to make short answers. Then he professes a complete indifference as to whether he finishes his hour of practice or not. He is likely as not to wind up me tain vy irevmnnft his intention to drop music altogether. It if all very well for a conscientious i sister to feel herself responsible for re minding her brother as to his duty, and encouraging him to do it. But she makes a great mistake if she deter- mines not to give him any rest till he 4 does the thine she thinks he ought. Instead In-stead of helpinar him in the way of right ' doing, this mistaken course is very II I likely to drive him in the opposite direction. di-rection. Good advice, encouragement, a little insistence, if tactfully given, are all a help. But no one is ever helped by nagging. 1 SUCCESS MARKET J J SCHNEIDER & COMPANY. J Dealers In all kinds of J FRESH.
