Vegetables as Beautifiers
B
EAUTV. Is trn attribute of
health. Naturally Winter Is
season when energy Is con
sumed, especially in the city
world. Is a season when the
natural oils are burned up hy fever
ish race after pleasure. And the com
plexions of most people show the de
pletion. Complexions which stood
fairly well the scrutiny of the modi
fied light of winter are blotched and
unattractive In the bright spring
light. The remedy for the depletion
Is to add to the system the elements
which have been exhausted In the
winter rush. Spring vegetables are
nature's contribution to the world
and are the sanest, safest and most
efficient complexion builders.
Carrots, rhubarb, lettuce, tomatoes,
celery, spinach, cucumbers, onions,
asparagus and watercress among veg
etables, and strawberries, apples,
grapes, melons and pineapples among
fruits, have a beautifying effect upon
the complexion.
Carrots eaten in generous quantities
Impart an exqulxlte peachv tint to
the complexion and promote the
growth and glossiness of the hair.
They may be prepared in a variety
of ways, but the best mode from the
therapeutic standpoint Is to grata
them raw, In which form they mav
be added to salads and sauces, stirred
Into aspic, or mixed with chopped
parsley and sprinkled over an ome
let before It la folded.
Watercress is good for the com
plexion and acts as tonic for tho
blood. All greens In a measure, have
this effect, but cross Is the best.
Spinach Is one of the most whole
loraa gre.ns a woman may eat and
acts as a broom 'to the stomach.
Tomatoes and lettuce are good liver
regulators. Rhubarb is Just the acid
the system Is craving at this season
of the year. 1
Onions are one of the best known
blood purifiers, and a slice or two of
Bermuda onion salted and placed be
tween two thin buttered pieces of
brown bread make the best possible
lunch for those who are accustomed
to eat a few mouthfuls before retir
ing. Celery is well known for its quieting
effect upon the nervous system. Tea
made by steeping celery knobs and
taken in doses of a wlneglasxful three
times a day Is said to relieve Inflam
matory rheumatism.
Olive oil Is the secret of a good
t)l?fStion and a good complexion. The
marvelously clear, warm tinted com
plexion of the Italian peasant women
are attributed In part to their lavish
use of olive oil as a cooking medium
and dressing for food. It may be
taken clear or In the form of a salad
drrstlng.
To prepare a beauty salad, begin
with an apple peeled and minced Into
a bowl. On top of this put the pulp
of an orange chipped to bits; over
this spread the halves of white grapes.
Then dress it with fine olive oil. Three
tablespoonfuls of the oil may b
poured over the salad, and if It seems
dry another may be added. Set the
salad away to ripen for a few min
utes. It Is eaten with a teaspoon, not
a fork. With a slice or two of whole
Wheat bread and fresh butter this
may well compose the beauty seeker's
luncheon not less than three or four
days In the week.
Fruit Juices of every description, di
luted one-third wlth distilled water
and sweetened no more than Is neces
sary to make them palatable, may be
taken freely and aie wonderful beau
tifiers. Try drinking a glassful
of orange Juice or grape Juice
and d stilled water in equal
parts the first thing on arising
In the morning and one of pineapple
lemonade an hour before luncheon
every day for three or four weeks,
abstaining at the same time from tea
and coffee, and see how your eyes
will brighten and your cheeks begin
to bloom.
Water taken systematically for sev
eral weeks will make a great Im
provement In the complexion, making
the skin soft and clear. A glass of
hot water with a dash of salt in it,
sipped slowly half an hour or longer
before meals, Is a partial corrective
at least of many internal disorders.
Including indigestion, bowel torpidity
and Inactive liver. Drink a little
water with meals If It does not dis
agree with you. Cooled water, not
cold, should be taken freely between
meals an hour or so after eating. Two
quarts dally should ba drunk, but
when the stomach Is weak only one
quart is frequently all that it will
absorb.

HE HAS THE QUEEREST JOB
Sidewalk Advertiser Ha Stood on
the Sam Spot for Twenty
Five Year.
John Lee ha stood every business day
for twenty-five year on the same spot in
Fulton street, half way down tha block
between Nassau and William streets In
New York City. No matter whether the
weather Is fair or foul, he never ha
missed a day In all that time. He is the
first and oldest of th sidewalk advertis
ers In point of service. If not in years.
Lee's duties consist of holding a gaudy
umbrella over his bead In stormy weather
and carrying a can almost as thick a
baseball bat and ,wlth a staghorn handle
a foot long when th weather to fine. He
rarely speaks unless some 'on addresses
him, but he ha a wide an acquaintance
a th head wajter of th Astor house.
From th time that he goes on duty at
T a. m., until he carries his can or um
brella upstairs at 6:30 p. m., mora people
greet him with a bow or smile than prob
ably any other man on the street of New
York. Lee ha been standing on th curb
of Fulton street for so many year that
he know by sight or by nam every reg
ular passerby. Elderly merchant who
home have been in Fulton street all their
lives never fall to give a kindly word
to him a they go to and from their of
fice. But It Is from th pretty girl clerks
and stenographer who work down Fulton
street way that Lee get the smile of
greeting. It Is not because ne I partic
ularly handsome or particularly Impressive
In his appearance, but because he I an
ancient landmark that wa In Fulton
street before reost of these girl wer born,
and probably will be there long after
most of them ar married. Then, too, he
has a merry eye and a ready Irish smile
that warm the heart of youth as well
