CAREFUL LIVING MA Y
FORESTALL HEREDITY
You May Inherit the Tendency to Certain Diseases,
Says Dr. Copeland, but by Practicing Wise
Living You Can Conquer It.
IJy ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.
United States Senator from New York.
Former Commissioner of Health, Scu) lorlc Cti’j.
IF, in your family, a death has occurred from cancer, tuberculosis,
liver complaint or any other ailment, you perhaps have a linger
ing fear that you may get the same disease. It is natural to
worry over a thing of this sort.
I want to talk with you on this subject There
is no need to be frightened over such a prospect
•ml you should know it
There are a few diseases where heredity has a
bearing, or a possible bearing, upon the pasting
ou of disease from one generation to another.
But it is not so with reference to the ailments
mentioned.
It is true that thete mav be the transfer of a
tendency to disease. But it is one thing to have
the tendency and quite another actually to get
the disease.
Tuberculosis, for instance, is an acquired dis
ease. It may be acquired by one parent long
alter the birth of the child. In no wav whatever
could it be transmitted by what we call heredity.
We must bear in mind that physical traits run

An III Wind By, Madge Geyer.

—
THE old adage certainly holds? good in these
blustery days. And it certainly brings a
l<<t of good along with it. 1 or the ill wind
that takes Miss Chartnant's hat and blows it
straight into the hands of one who has been
longing for juat such an opportunity, isn't such
an iil wind after all. It’s just mischievous and
certainly must he guided by l»an Cupid.
Oh. yes. that young man takes advantage of
everything. All the winds are his tricnds; all
the stars i*nd the moon and the sun and every
thing hi Nature conies running at his call. For
they all want to see Love enthroned and when
ever they have a chance to help, they do so
willingly. And in this case—isn't it the truth
that “It’s an ill wind that blows nobody good”?
And the g»od in this particular instance is in
bringing two loving hearts closer.

KEEPING YOUR SKIN
IN GO' D CONDITION
Miss Huddleston Outlines an Effective Treatment
Which Will Not Only Correct Oily or Dry Skin
Conditions, but Will Strengthen Tissues.
By JOSEPHINE HUDDLESTON
SINCE cleanliness is one of the first requisites to a clear com
plexion, I’m going to tell .you how to properly cleanse the face
and throat so that the chances of blackheads and similar skin
blemishes arc lersened.
Cosmetics, allowed to remain on the skin over
long periods of time, become embedded in the
pores, enlarging them and frequently resulting
in blackheads and other beauty destroying
blemishes.
A surplus amount of oil exuding from the
pores, if not corrected, will develop blackheads,
enlarged pores and skin of coarse texture. The
too dry skin is caused by an insufficient amount
of oil on the surface of the skin, causing fine
lines and wrinkles unless this condition is
remedied, by nourishing it with proper oils and
creams.
We ll take up the correct cleansing of oily
*kin first.
Most cold creams have a large amount of oils
in their composition( except these prepared espe
cially for this condition! and so tliey should be
used with discretion while taking the following
corrective treatment, in which warm water, pure soap and a camel's
hair complexion brush are the necessary accessories. The brush should
be dipped in warm water and a generous amount of soap rubbed over
it. Then, using a circular or rotary motion, “scrub” the skin until
th* outer accumulation of dust, cos^
metic and oil has been removed. |
Rinse the skin and repeat th® brush-j
ing. Three or four thorough “scrub
bings'' may be necessary to entirely:
free the skin from ail impurities.j
Now rinse the face and throat in
cold water and follow this by rub
bing the sk.n with a smai: piece of
!«•* until It tingles and glows. This
closes the pores and makes the skin
and tissues firm.
If an additional astringent Is us»d, j
t should be used ONLY after the
skin has been thoroughly freed from
impurities.
Excessively dry skin requires the
reverse treatment, that is. rich
► 111 ■ ." " " ~ " 1 " 1.~~
creams and oils should be used to
nourish the tissues and muscles,
thus supplying the needed oils.
Minetal oil proves an effectual
cleanser for the extremely dry skin
and should be used lavishly. An up
ward and outward motion is em
ployed at si) times, whether applying
or removing cosmetics. Pat a gen
erous amount of mineral oil over the
skin, then remove It with cleansing
tissues and apply a less generous
amouut of oil. working it well into
the skin before removal. It may
require three or four applications of
oil to cleanse the skin, but continue
to use the oil until the cieansmg
tissues remain snowy white.
A liberal application of mineral oil
should remain on the extremely dry
akin overnight, and this procedure,
followed until the akin has been1
brought to a normal condition.
Proper understanding of the re
quirements of the many t>pcs of
skin is necessary to determine the
right corrective treatment. Remem
bering that oils and greases should
be eliminated from the oily skin and
added to the dry skin cleansing
regime is a simple way of ascertain
ing the correct cleansing method for
the different skins.
Sweets and greases should also be
eliminated from the diet if one is
troubled with oily skin, and while
they are not taboo in the diet of the
dry skin t>pe they must not be
taken to excess.

j she had ad'lsed tus passing
along to me tne piece of gossip he

house of Trees. I may present a
"poker face" to outsiders, but I
never can fool Lillian, and she sud
denly smiled impishly.
"I think Madge has something of
her own to tell.” she said, and Harry
Underwood put me into an easy
chair w-ith a flourish.
"All right, cards ou the lable." he
1 said, then as I hesitated, he spread
his arm* with a wide theatric ges
ture.
Til show my hand first, and then
well see what you have in yours,”
■ he said. "Its simply this. If my
underground whispering wire is cor

young man whom we know as
George Jackson is extremely likely
to find himself king of Trees within
six months, or let--.”
I gasped at the significance of this
news coming so quickly after my
interview with the young man in
question, and Lillian struck in:
‘ Tell her how you know. Harry,
and then we can hear her news.”
•'Remember I told you a while ago

”1 remember,” I said breathlessly.
”1 had heard then.'' he said slowly,

uncommonly healthy old codger, was
in reality suffering from an incur

one or two people besides his phy

that the krng'e brother—not Georges’
father—he is dead—but the only
other male member of the succession
—is a hopeless, helple** invalid of
the type, however, that outlasts a
dozen healthy kinsmen. Just today,
however. I had a message that the
king cannot live six months, and
that the invalid brother’s illne.-** has
become acute. That puts it strictly
up to our friend Georges. The cream

”It fits in surprisingly.” I said,
and forthwith told them of the an
nouncement Prince Georges had
made to mo of lus betrothal to Mar y,
and of my revelation of his identity
to his fiancee. Both Mr. and Mrs.

with flattering s’tentlon. and when

I was furious at myself for flush

no deceiving the two pa.r of keen

“It's not hard to guess.” Harry
