KEEPING THE SKIN BEAUTIFUL

Correct Living and Proper Amount of Exercise Are Better Than Any Purchased Cosmetic. Many girls who have bad complexions must blame themselves. However, the are ways to overcome the mistakes they have probably unwittingly made. To gain a clear complexion follow these rules: Take a daily bath, exercise for an hour in the open air every day, drink at least three pints of water daily; secure sufficient sleep; eat a great deal of green vegetables and fresh fruits and rub the face over, just before washing it, with two tablespoonfuls of flower of sulphur mixed in half a pint of new milk. This mixture should stand a little while before it is used on the face. A bad taste in the mouth and an impure breath is an unmistakable sign of some disorder. This can be caused by overeating, highly spiced foods, alcoholic stimulants and decayed teeth. Any of the conditions should be corrected at once.
