STEAM BATHS IF EVERY woman who thinks thnt her regular bath Is keeping her skin clean, could see tho amount of dead cuticle and dirt and oily matter that the masseuse In a Turkish bath place gets out of the skin of a "clean" person she would certainly become a regular patron of these bath places. Turkish baths are beyond the reach of most folks, unfortunately, since only the larger towns possess them. And the home steam cabinet Is the only substitute. Yel even this home method will open the skin as an ordinary bath never could, and free the pores of all the clogging wast, matter in them ; leaving the skin free once more to breathe, carrying off much waste matter, gMng one the

Nothing Better for Beauty Than Steam Bath Every Week or So. glow and color only perfect cleanliness can lend, and making one feel young and fresh as never before. In some ways the bath has been the salvation of Turkey and Greece. Their women lead sedentary lives, spending their time dressing, eating, and sleeping. This condition Is changing as the countries are waking up to modern culture, but the general fact Is still true. Lives spent like this mean that great layers of flesh accumulate, that the skin becomes clogped, the system sluggish, the brain and liver torpid the whole being desires only more of the useless laziness. But the Turkish woman attends the bath every week, where she is steamed, scrubbed, messaged, lathered, and rinsed with hot and cold water, tilher skin is free from every impurity and her whole system Is rejuvenated and refreshed. If you cannot take regular Turkish baths, get a cabinet and take steam baths at home. Tincture of benzoin not a patented article at all is a good astringent. AVish the face with hot water

and liquid green soap, rinse wlthj hot, then cold water and put a few i

drops of the tincture In this last rinse. ;

It simply closes the pores. (CopyrirM.) O A few bolshevik defeats may be relied on to change a large amount of populur sentiment in Russia.

RIVER AND FOUNTAIN OXCE there was a Little River running near a beautiful Fountain in a garden. 4 In the sunlight Fountain throwing Its stream of water made wonderful colors and it sparkled and splashed as it fell into tho big basin beneath It "Oh, how beautiful it is," said the Little River looking up at tho Fountain. "How lavish I could sparkle- and make beautiful colors as It does In the eunlight." The Fountain tossed' its waters higher and splashed louder when it heard the Little River's lament., "I am sorry for "you," It said, "for it must be quite dull down where

you are, and very tiresome, too, running on as you have to over the roUgh stones. "The world Is very beautiful up here and as I dance and splash everyone who comes this way stops to admire nie. Yes, I pity you and I do not wonder that you admire me and wish you could be in my place." The L.ittle lliver did not dare reply to the Fountain. It was too far above it, and as all the Fountain said. seemed true to .Little River, it ran along

ubout its work, still wishing It was beautiful. That night when all was .still and the water at the Fountain had been turned off, n big tree, swaying over the river, spoke to It. "Little River, I heard you complaining today that the big fountain was very beautiful and you wished you were like it." said the Tree. 'Oh, yes, hut I am only a lowly little river and. can never hope to be like the lovely Fountain," replied Little River. "Yes. the Fountain is beautiful," said the Tree, "but do you not know that It Is your water that suppliesthe beautiful Fountain and If you were not here there would be no Fountain?" . Little River almost forgot to move. It was so surprised. "It cannot be true," It said. "I never could get up there; you must be mistaken." "It Is true," said the Tree, "the water that sparkles and flashes at the Fountain comes from here. It is true that some man-made -power forces it to the fountain bed, but the water comes from you, Little River, so do not envy the Fountain any more for without you the Fountain would not be beautiful." The next morning. In the sunlight the Little River ran so swiftly over .the. rocks and stones that it 'almost jumped from its bed, it was so happy, and the big Fountain looWng down upon it wondered how It could seem so joyous. But thoush the Fountain was as beautiful ,as before, Little River was never ajrain envious5 for was It not from it that the Fountain got its beauty? Mule River never stopped to tell the Fountain what it knew. "I could not bo any happier," said Mttle River, "and It might make the Fountain sad to know that its loveliness came from a lowly little river." ; (Copyright.) ,
