When a cut will not heal , saturate a piece of absorbent cotton with coal oil , and bind on. ' Apply arnica to a bruise if the skin is unbroken. If broken wash the bruise ; and apply vaseline. i The benefits of sleep are shown in- , vcrsely by the haggard lines that come into even a young woman's face when she has been up night after night until ( long after midnight. Women who walk with no heels ' make a mistake. The heel preserves the arch of the foot and prevents it from becoming flat. It keeps the ankle ; round and is a help to the spine. j Xo application is better for lusterless , hair than salt. Hub well into the rooty ' of the hair at night , then tie up in a large handkerchief or wear a night cap. Brush out the salt in the morn- inir. Several applications will show a marked improvement in the app -ir- ance of the hair. There is nothing that is better for a muddy skin than a diet of fruit au-1 greens. Fortunately both are so plen tiful in this country that they can be had all the year round , but even if the cost were t\\5co as much as it is it would be cheaper than cosmetics and professional pkin\trcatmonts.
