BEAUTY EFFORTS DISTORT FEATURES

Dean of Kansas School of Medicine Says Women Are Cultivating Ugliness by Art. Dr. S. J. Crumb ine, dean of the school of medicine of the Kansas University, says that the efforts wonien are making to cause them to appear comely are certain to produce a race of women whose homeliness will be painful. He says: “Paint and powder on the face act just as so- much dirt.- They dog the pores of the face and the poison ingmme of them is absorbed. In a sems of experiments with animals it was shown that complete obstruction of the pores by means of paiht soon caused death, while partly closing the pores resulted in sickness resembling blood poisoning. If natural methods for the improvement and refinement of the complexion and the lines of the face were used American women in a few generations would be the most beautiful on earth. It is the unnatural methods they are using that are roughening the lines of the face and absolutely destroying their complexions. The women are using entirely too much rouge and paint.”

Men like to see women attractive, but there is nothing so much criticised by them as excessive use of paint and powder. If used at all it should be used so that no one can tell it is used. The natural complexion is far more attractive to a sensible man that one that is “made up”“witlj paints and powder. Vigorous exercise , correct breathing, mild massaging and brisk walks will do more toward producing at tractive qualities in features as well as general health. If your daughter falls into the habit of spending half Tier odd time before a looking glass wielding a powder rag it is your duty to take positive steps to' break up the habit. You will correct a silly and giddy tendency, preserve- your daughter's natural beauty, aid her health and preserve her friends. ft is time to give more thought to substantial things and less to complexions. The powder rag should take a back seat.
