To make it put a heaping teaspoonful of fine oatmeal Into a tumbler of cold water. Allow It to stand all night, and In the morning stir It up well. Let the thickest part settle again and then drink the clear part. This should be continued for two or three weeks and it will clean the complexion remark ably. Woman Builds Herself a Home.

He began with the oysters and had at least one story for each course clear down to the Roquefort. The humorist listened In patience, but did not smile or make any comment.
