Importance of Care of
Skin to General Health
.By WOODS HUTCHINSOX, M. D.
. . rri I.
The delicate and sensitive surface of
our bodies was originally a free, wild
thing rejoicing In Ha liberty, but we have
reduced It to a cramping and at tlmea
galling captivity.
. The akin waa born for the open air, or,
primarily, to be more correct, for open
ater. and to cboke and strap and gag
nd mummify It aa we do by our con
ventional clothing is a good deal or a
strain on It.
However, It IS wonderfully good
natured and acommodating and adjueta
Itself to lta dally prison remarkably well.
But IU patience has Umlts, and It simply

over Its surface, for the most. part gives
us only an agreeable glow, a sense of re
'taxation and relief; but In extreme caaea
It Is exaggerated Into tickling and Itching
and burning.
In a perfectly healthy, well lubricated
skin thia glow and reaction will net go
beyond pleasurable bounds; but in a
skin which hast been either too tightly

The remedy, of course, for this annoy
ance Is, first of all. looser, better fitting,
more poroua clothing, particularly under
wear, and generally rather less of It.
More exercise In the open air Is also
useful, because this both increaaea the
amount of perspiration and consequently
of oil deposited upon the akin, and be-
oause It tones up the akin and keeps It
elastic, so that it wUl not react unpleas
antly to these changes Of tension and

Household Suggestions
To wash brushes and combs put a
teaspoonful of ammonia in a basin of
hot water and dip the brush up and
down In it, letting the comb remain In
the water for a few minutes. In this
way all the grease will disappear, and
after rinsing In cold water both brushes
and rombs will be perfectly clean.
When cleaning a carpet peel a pound
of potatoes, scrape them, stir the pulp In
a pall of water, and strain. Wring out
the cloth in the water and rub tha ear
pet. rinsing tha cloth as soon aa It la
soiled. Do not tread on the carpet until
It la quite dry.
To elean gold lace, crumble a piece of
bread without crust and mix with
enough jeweler's rouge to eolor It. Rub
this on the lace with a piece of flannel
and finally with a piece of velvet.
When a tag cornea off a boot or ahoa
lace press little melted black sealing
wax around the end of the laoe and
shape It to form a tag. It will anawer
almost as well aa the original.
Mildew on leather may ba removed
with a little pure vaaeline. Rub thla Into
the leather till quite absorbed, and then
carefully polish with a clean chamois
leather.
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
The consciousness of power over others
brings the most exquisite loy to any
human being. To be, able to regulate
other people'a Uvea aeema a very desirable
position to moat of us. Of course, all
life la managed on this basis from the In
stitution of an emperor down to that of
a political boas.
- But moat of us do not re eo raise the
tyranny In our own natures for Just what
It la. ' We call ourselves philanthropists
and neglect to consider Just how welcome
our philanthropy la.
I know a girl who took her atand
against her own family and aaalated her
younger brother In making a marriage
which to hla youthful fancy seemed de
sirable. The girl had a wonderful feeling
that she waa "playing Providence" most
graciously for brother and hla sweet
heart. She was a managing' young
woman and stood out against all of her
people for what aha considered very beau
tiful and noble reasons.
She Imagined aba waa actuated by a
beautiful sentiment of desire to make
others happy. She fancied aha waa the
one person who could gvt the point of
view of her 24-year-old brother and the
girl her whole family deemed rather an
adventuress.
Slater glossed over the whole situation
and, with a feeling of nobility, engineered
a marriage which the boy would never
have put through by himself. Two years
proved It disastrous And like disaster
attends almost all Instances where ons
human being steps In and manages the
affairs of another. It Is never fair to
Insist on regulating other people's lives.
It forces them Into an attitude of weak
helplessness that makes them parasites,
whether they are conscious of uncon
scious of. it. . ..
Being helpful Is another matter! ' It
means giving aid where aid la honestly
needed. It means answering a cry for
assistance and letting aome one who
feels the neceaalty of getting aome one
elae'a opinion or of having their doubt
fulness bolstered up a bit recognise tha
fact that tha world la not a totally cold
and Indifferent place.
Between "playing Providence" and
being callously Indifferent to tha needs
of others there is a tremendous field of
sympathy and ' helpful kindness. "Play
ing Providence" la the aort of thing that
patrnntslngly takes a square peg out of
a square hole where It la comfortably
ensconced, and insists on whittling It
down to fit a round hole a notch or two
higher up In the world.
It means manufacturing discontent for
the ehjert of your experiment If you
happen to fall, and making a weakling
who needs to be directed out of that ob
ject if you succeed with him.
On the other hand, being helpful means
