a nmrnr symposium.
To be strictly accurate In tbe mat
ter of detail, you should recline
Among cushions when you read this
article.
The dictionary describes "Sympo
Inra" as "a convivial feast ending
with an intellectual treat comprising
extracts from the writings and say
ings of a number of people on a giv
en subject"
Unfortunately, the convivial part
f today's feast must be limited, so
far as I am concerned, to a flow of
words. You to whom
they are addressed
may augment that
simple menu accord
ing to circumstances
and your own Incli
nation. The symposium el
ement, however, will
Include information
of varied character,
pQISOUA iyr gleaned from various
sttAN sources and especial
ly arranged In honor of the many
friends who have honored me with
their beauty problems.
Their letters came while I was ab
sent. I had not Intended to tell ou
that I was away, but it's too good
to keep. I went on a honeymoon
trip. I hope you will forgive me, but
I Quite forgot all about freckles and
crooked noses and thin eyebrows and
flappy ears. Not until I returned
and saw all your letters did my con
science smite me. Some of your In
quiries I will answer briefly now.
Those correspondents who enclosed
stamped envelopes for personal re
plies will receive detailed information
by mall. Meanwhile, these general
answers may be of benefit to other
anxious beauty culturlsts.
Mrs. I asks If the hump on her
nose can be removed. I have not
seen her nose nor the hump but
judge mat a competent surgeon
could easily bring about the desired
Improvement.
I know one doctor who makes
specialty of correcting pug, dished,
humped, crooked, bent, broad, flat.
narrow, uptllted or long nose, flar
ing nostrils, falling septum and all
other defects of the nose. Such
specialist can be found In any large
city. Ask your own physician or
Inquire at any surgical hospital for
tbe address of a reliable surgoon
specialising in that line.
K. E. J. asks four questions. She
wants to know how to reduce a dou
ble chin, if a vibrator Is beneficial
for the face, what is the best cream
to use and what kind of powder Is
best for a dry, sensitive skin.
Dashing cold water on the chin
and neck and rubbing lumps of ice
over them is said to drive away de
posits of fat. The head should be
field high so that the chin will not
bury itself In the neck. Sleep with
the head on a small pillow and have
tbe chin massaged. A rubber band
age could be used at night to hold
the flesh In place, or even a thin,
soft towel can be fastened securely
over the chin. By causing free per
spiration this gradually reduces the
flesh. In massage the fingers of each
hand should be placed on the back
of the neck near the base of the
brain, with thumbs under the chin
and palms up. The tnumos snould
pass, with heavy, rotary movement
over the rolls of flesh from the chin
to each' side toward the ears. A
solution made of three parts camphor
water and one part alcohol Into
which the fingers can be dipped fre
quently aids the value of the mas
sage.
It Is Impossible to mention In
print special preparations for cold
cream and powder. A reliable drug
gist can suggest the cream and pow
der best adapted to a dry, sensitive
skin and, for the sake of his own rep
utation as a druggist, will certainly
not recommend anything Injurious.
A vibrator Is usually beneficial,
especially If some good, pure cream
or a flesh food Is applied to the face
before tbe machine, Just as would be
done if the massage were given by
aand.
Dottle's question can be answered
only partially this time. To develop
any part of the body the muscles
must be strengthened and stimulated
to Increase the deposition of adipose
tissue. For this purpose the uee of
a vacuum massage cup Is better and
more gently effective thaa manual
treatment. It should be given daily,
together with a liberal use of cocoa
butter, olive oil or lanolin. There
. .. -.-ii i i n imm imm'IiMHP
should be no hard pressure. The ob
ject Is merely to stimulate the cir
culation of the blood In a gentle
manner, causing It to deposit new
tissue In the part of the body mani
pulated and developing it to almost
any desired sue. Berore the mas
sage, however, warm water should be
applied to soften the skin and open
the pores; after the massage cold
water should be used.
Mrs. W. has tried various depila
tories without benefit but I am sure
if she will try Electrolysis she will
have no more trouble with the super
fluous growth on her chin.
tu. a. says me suipnur and sage
mixtures make her white hair look
yellow. She asks If "walnut" Is any
gooa. i wrote so mucn about gray
hair In a previous article that It
seems hardly necessary to write
more. No dye can be used for gray
ing nair mat wm not oe more or
less apparent. Where one prepara
tion may tend to give the hair a yel
lowisn iook me otner win give It a
dead, false appearance far more un
lovely and really more Indicative of
advancing years than the natural
gray hair. Help the gray hair along
by an effective coiffure and Instead
of killing It with lotions, stimulate
Its life and lustre by the very best of
care.
L. II. Is troubled with an oily
scalp. That Is a condition that ac
tually requires treatment and will
have to be answered by a letter be
cause she must have a medical pre
scrlptlon. One thing she must not
do and that Is to continually wash
her hair, thinking that soap and
water will eliminate the grease. A
few hours after a shampoo her hair
will be as greasy as ever. The rea
son Is that the glands are not per
forming their functions properly. An

astringent lotion is necessary. The
chances are that a person with an
oily scalp has also a somewhat oily
skin. Great care should bo exercised
as to Just what astringent lotion Is
applied In order that no harm be
done. a
Mrs. C. as well as L. II. wants a
remedy for thin eyebrows and eye
lashes. They can be improved but
tbe cause of their thinness must first
be determined. That which might
help Mrs. C. would perhaps not do
for L II. The condition of the
health and skin must be taken Into
consideration, . also whether the
lashes and brows have recently fallen
out or whether they are Just natur
ally thin. To each of these corres
pondents I shall write a personal let
ter. Miss A. W. W. finds glycerine and
rose water soothing and beneficial to
her face but .fears its constant use
may produce unpleasant results. I
have never heard that preparation
was In the least degree harmful pro
viding the person who uses it need
ed it. In this case It produces a
pleasant, soothing effect which would
seem to indicate that It Is Just what
Is required. Personally I do not like
the preparation for the reason that it
does not agree with my hands and
face. It makes them feel sticky and
greasy, therefore I do not use it. For
the same reason I do not use cam
phor ice. Many people like camphor
Ice and find It beneficial.
This symposium Is finished for to
day but I haven't, come to the end
of my list, by any means. I sigh
when I contemplate the future for,
like Tennyson's "Brook",
Honeymoons may come and Honey
moons may go, but Beauty Culture
goes on forever.

AN APPRECIATION
The Herald takes this opportunity to compliment the many candidates in the
Prize and Auto Campaign for the excellent work done to date. Hundreds of new sub
scriptions have been added to the Herald list, making its circulation the largest of any
Western Nebraska newspaper. These subscriptions are a big asset, not only to the
paper but to the community as well.
In selecting prizes to be awarded only the beet were considered. Whoever wins
the Reo Six is assured of a brand new car of sterling worth. The other prizes are in
keeping with the liberal lines along which the entire contest has been drawn.
But a few days remain in the campaign. To those who win, the heartiest congratu
lations are due; to those who fail we can truthfully say that they did well and are de
serving of commendation.'
The campaign is now in the hands of the judges. The campaign manager has
nothing more to do with the campaign his duties ended last Saturday. Mr. Bray
ton has proved himself fair in all matters and The Herald takes this opportunity to
publicjy acknowledge that the trust it placed in him has been lived op to to the letter.
Immediately after the close of the campaign the voting records will be an open
book. If you think your competitor did not work and turn in the business come
down to the Herald office at any time and see for yourself. Any contestant, or his
or her representative, will be privileged to check up the records.
In conclusion the Herald again wishes to compliment the many partlciiants in
this campaign. The end is but a few days away, and this expression of good will is
made in advance knowing that every contestant realizes that he or she has had, and
will have, an absolutely square deal.
