HEALTH AND BEAUTY

A cupful of strong coffee will remove the odor of onions from the breath. One in a faint should be laid flat on the back, the clothes loosened and let alone. A cupful of hot water drunk before meals wjll sometimes relieve nausea and dyspepsia. It is not practical to wash the hands too often during the day, neither is it advisable to use hard water; either makes the skin hard. But should the hands get hard, use olive oil or cocoa butter. The best time to bathe is just before going to bed, as any danger of taking cold is thus avoided* and the complexion is improved by keeping warm for several hours after leaving the bath.
