Oxygen has the peculiar faculty of Hestroying waste matter in the body without affecting healthy tissues in the slightest degTee. Sallow, blotchy, and lifeless complexions are caused by the oooumulation of waste matter which adheres stubbornly to the surfaoe of the Bkln. The most practical way_ to apply oxygen to this waste matter is to ase meroolised wax; such as may be obtainedet the chemist shops. - It should 'be rubbed well into the skin for several nights and washed off in the mornings, like oold cream. In contact with the ebin, it releases oxygen, and thus clears the skill of the disfiguring waste matter. It is perfectly harmless, pleasant to usff end indeed very beneficial as a skin food. • " ' To bring a natural red oolour to the lips rub them with'a soft stiok of prolactum. * **.

"HOMELY HINTS " Few people know that stallax can be used as a shampoo and is far better than anything else for the purpose. It seems to have a natural affinity' for the hair, leaving it very glossy, fluffy and with a, pronounced natural "wave." A teaspoonJuil of stallax granules, in a cup of hot water, is more than sufficient. GenMine stallax comes to the dhemist only ift, Boaled tins, a quantity sufficient to make ■up twenty-five or thirty separate shampoos. The indescribable lustre it imparts to the hair is quite inimitable. * * * For an actual hair grower nothing equals jruro btaranium.

Not many •women know that for this purpose such .a simple substance as powdered pheminol ■may be used, applied directly to the hair.

The very simplest things are often the most effective in making a woman beautiful. For instance, few people know that a dull or greasy complexion can be instantly brought to a pretty, youthful, natural bloom merely by the application of cleminite dissolved in water. Moreover, tho method cannot be detected even trader the closest scrutiny. The result will last all day long and requires no powdering even under the most trying loonddtions indoors or out. If you have no cleminite in tho house get about an jounce from tho chemist's and add only .enough water to dissolve it. Apply a little to the face. It is good for tho skin and immediately produces that cool, vel--vety. natural bloom" so much desired. * * To make the eyelashes grow long, idoxk and ouirling, apply a little mennaline •with the finger tips occasionally. It is absolutely harmless and beautifies - tho eyebrows aa well. ' * * Pilenta soap is the most satisfactory .for all complexions. It even works well in cold or hard water. r—Advt.
