"" - Oxygen has the peculiar faculty of 'destroying • waste matter in the body without affecting healthy tissues in the slightest degree. Sallow, blotchy, and lifeless complexions are caused . by the accumulation of waste matter -which, adheres stubbornly to the surfaoe of ttieskin. The most practical way to apply oxygen to this waste matter is to ase xnercolised wax, such as may be obtained at the chemist' shops. It shrfuW Be rubbed well into the skin for several nights and washed off in. the mornings, like cold cream. In contact with the skin, it releases oxygen, and thus clears the skin df the disfiguring waste matter. It is perfectly harmless, - pleasant to nse and indoed very beneficial as a skin food.. * * * To bring a natural red colour to the lips rub theni with a soft stick of prolactum. * 4 * For tired, hot, and perspiring feet use a teaspoonful of powdered onalite in a foot bath.—Advt. "Wavy" Shampoos. ' : "HOMELY HINTS'." Few peoplo 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, 1 leaving it very {flossy, fluffy and with a pronounced natural "wave." A teaspoonful of stallax granules, dissolved in a cup of hot water, is more than sufficient. Genuine stallax comes to the chemist only in sealed tins, a quantity sufficient to make ■up twenty-five or thirty separate shampoos. The indescribablo lustre it imparts to the hair is quite inimitable. * * * For an actual hair grower nothing equals pure boranium. It is quite harmless, and 'sets the hair roots tingling with new life. * * * The use of rouge is almost always obvious, but powdered colliandum gives a perfectly natural colour and defies detection. : The Killing of Stfpefflttocs Hair. "BOUDOIK GOSSIP."' It is easy to remove superfluous hair temporarily, but to removo it* permanently is quite another matter. Not many women know that for this purpose such a simple substance as powdered pheminol may be used, applied directly to tho hair.
