Dear Miss Valeau: I take cold easilv and am miserable from the effects can you suggest some help for me" MRS. D. S., Salt Lake. I . nJou can stand cold sponge baths i in the morning together with a brisk 1 rubbing with a flesh brush you may y derive much benefit. Try a salt rub too, twice a week. Another simple remedy is when you feel that vou are taking a cold and suffer with headache, head-ache, sore throat, and a burning in the roof of the mouth, put a piece of white ginger in your mouth bn going to bed and let it remain until morning, when you will be relieved. It is a very simple remedy, but I have found it to be a I most effectual one. Dear Friend: Can you suggest some remedy to whiten and soften the hands 7 You ore indeed a kind friend to all women readers of your splendid paper. MRS. J. McK.. Butte. Thank you for your kind opinion of the Intermountain Catholic. Am very 'leased to advise you. An excellent softener and whitener of the hands is S made from two tablespoonfuls of ( lemon juice, one of colorless almond oil. and one of glycerine, with a few drops of triple extract of violet added. Make an emulsion of the glycerine and lemon juice, gradually add the oil and, I last, the extract. Try wearing large ! gloves at night. ' :( I Miss Valeau: Till recently I had a ft pretty good complexion and' a nice jj soft face, but now it's dried up like. 1 and wrinkled, also my hair is fading j and turning gray, "it's color is black." Vill you kindly tell me what to do. If you recommend a cream or skin food will you please tell me how to make it. And oblige, yours faithfully. MRS. H. M. S.. Goldfield, Colo. For you face try the following recipe: One ounce snemacete, one ounce white wax. one ounce almond oil, iine-quarter ounce camphor gum. Dissolve Dis-solve the camphor gum in the oil, add the other ingredients, heating the whole only to melt, when melted beat " itli a fork until it is creamy and white. -In using it the face must be perfectly free from dust. Take a small ; quantity on the tips and rub the face and neck gently. The face becomes soft immediately. Another fine lotion is: Three ounces rosewater. one ounce glycerine, ten drops carbolic acid. Rub over the face aiid neck just before using the towel. If there is too much glycerine use a little less than an ounce. Glycerine Gly-cerine should never be used unless much diluted. , . There is nothing better for the hair than to let it down and go into the f sunshine. Fresh air is an excellent tunic for the hair. The Italian women take the crowns out of straw hats, diaw their hair through the crown and sit in the sunshine for hours at a lime. One of the finest hair tonics if not the best one known is one pint Mghwine. one pint distilled water, one ounce of bear's oil. Highwine is alcohol before it is distilled. dis-tilled. Do not allow the druggist to soil vou. poor whisky for highwine as manv'do. 1 have known several cases I of almost total baldness to be cured with this tonic. One man about forty vears. was quite bald. What hair he 1 had was dull and gray, but after using this tonic his hair became so luxuriant, glossy and dark that members of his own "fa mil v accused him of dyeing it. Brushing the hair thoroughly is often: I nature's restorer. Try both remedies. Proper-Care of the Eyes. j V child's eves should be cared for from the hour of birth.

" ery well." the mayor is quoted as "ying, -"you shall name-him a member of my cabinet, and I will see to it.that nis appointment is confirmed. He shall have full power to make Chicago a law-abiding city," and if he fails to do so I will hold you responsible for it." In that way the Collins appointment was decided upon. - A Neat Retort. At one of the recent White House receptions re-ceptions there was a little case of rapier thrusting between two ladies, says Linpincott's, and it was delightfully delight-fully entertaining to those who saw and heard. . There is a famous man in Washington, Washing-ton, one who came from the plain people peo-ple and who continues as one of them. He has a beautiful daughter of aristocratic aristo-cratic tendencies, who has dog up a family tree, somehow or other, and who affects superiority which she does not possess in any sense. The wife of a congressman from a western state was introduced to the young lady and pleasantly said: "I have met with your distinguished father. Miss ." 'T dare say," replied the young lady, languidly. "Papa in his position meets all sorts of people." The western lady flushed and flashed back instantly: "I should suppose so. Especially when he is at home." , A Sewing Room Closet. In the room in which you sew have a closet made about the height of a table, with a ton about forty-eight inches in length by twenty-four inches m width. Have this closet divided into three drawers, the first about five inches deep. Divide this drawer into two parts by running a partition in the center. In one of these divisions you may keep patterns, tracing wheel and tape measure, and in the other part have two rows of nails to place spools of thread. In this drawer may also be scissors, buttons, needles, paper of pins, hooks, thimbles, etc. In one of the remaining drawers may be kept the materials ready to be made up, and in the other the unfinished garments gar-ments and materials that have been left over from previous work. |
