SALT BATHS TO WIN HEALTH AND BEAUTY Cet All the Stimulating and Beautifying Effects of an ^Ceai* ^—Right in Your Own Home—Says f Miss Huddleston, and Tells You How r\ _ By JOSEPHINE HUDDLESTON lAuj-T? °ne wlxo 1x355 gone the seaside weary and worn, knows and P" +utes the value of a plunge In the ocean. However, we can’t all -cijoy the privilege of salt bathing in its natural setting, but we can have yne iuxury of an ocean dip right in our own home. Scientists, realizing the tremendous value of salt water bathing, both for health and beauty, have declared that the same beneficial results can be obtained from a daily salt water bath in the home as can be had in the more luxurious setting of a fashionable beach. This is particularly true if one has a sun room where the salt bath can be followed by a few moments basking in the sun. The new sun lamps are marvelous and then, too. there is the new glass, which has been so highly approved, that is substituted for the usual glass in windows. This new glass does not destroy any of the healthful qualities of the sun’s rays as ordin ary window panes. Ocean water contains a little more than three per cent salt m weight so, to derive the same re • rveraui suits from home bathing, it is necessary to add OUotPHlNE approximately twro pounds of salt to the average HUDDLESTON sized tub. A cold salt water plunge in the morning stim ulates circulation and sets every nerve tingling with health and vitality so that the body is put in excellent working condiion for the day. Hot salt baths, taken at night just before retiring, soothe the tired nerves, tnus relaxing the body so that a night of sound, healthful sleep is assured. On occasions when you are es pecially tired and want to feel as well as appear fresh for the evening hours, an extra pound or so of sale should be added to the water. You’ll find it rather difficult to get a good lather in the sale water, so I’d sug gest that you take the cleansing bath first, then refill the tub and add the salt. Remain in the salt water for fifteen minutes and have the water as cold as you can stand it without (filling. A tepid temper ature is ideal for this. If too cold such a bath would be injurious due to the inactivity of the body; if too hot such a bath would be enervating instead of stimulating. Do not rinse the skin after such a bath, merely rub the body briskly with an unironed bath towel until the skin tingles. You’ll feel re juvenated at the completion of such a bath. If the same stimulating effect is 'desired and you haven’t time to take a tub, saturate a heavy turkish , towel with salt water, using at least one pound of salt to one gallon of water and after wringing it out as much as possible, rub it briskly over the body. Let the skin dry naturally. Then, too, if you think of it ahead of time a towel can be saturated as outlined above, then hang it up to dry. Folded away so that it may be used at a moment’s notice, it can be rubbed briskly over the body with highly desirable after effects. A fjjfeber cap should be worn when tub wt baths are taken as salt water is none too good for the hair unless It is to be shampooed imme diately. Salt baths are excellent for the skin, too, making it soft and vibrant * with health and vitality. Persons in clined to colds will find salt bathing invaluable. So, now, you have a beauty and health bath all together. Isn’t that nice? ADVICE TO GIRLS By Annie Laurie Dear Annie Laurie: I am a girl eighteen years old and am going with a young man nine teen years old. He seems to love me. but is very jealous of me. Is it right for me to continue going with him? I really seem to like him at times but then again I don’t. Blue Eyed Sally. Blue Eyed Sally: If you are not engaged, then you should not con fine your friendship to one man. Have many friends, for only in this way will you eventually find Mr. Right. If the young man truly loved you he would prove it by a proposal of marriage. Until that time, you have the right to have as many friends as you desire. * * * « Dear Annie Laurie: I'm a girl sixteen years of age. I'm in love with a man of thirty. My parents have- announced our engage ment and seem very happy over it. He wants to kiss me all the time, but for the last two times he has come, he hasn’t kissed me at all. Please tell me do you think he is getting tired of me? Dell. Dell: In all probability you show ed your dislike of his caresses to such an extent that he has decided to curtail them until you showed some disposition to respond. I hard Iv think he doesn’t love you, for if that wras the case, he never would have asked you to marry him. So don’t worry’, but show your fiance 2 little more affection. .. ■ .■" ■ "' ... .— New Ideas for the Home When you want to achieve the tno6t elegant effects in table serv ice, but with the least amount of work, use trays. Not for a formal dinner, of course, but for the many small meals that occur dur ing a day. breakfast or luncheon for two, afternoon tea, or late sup per. Any time when a snack seems desirable, and the setting of a table too much like work, the tray is mother’s best friend. You can get trays in the most amazing variety of shape, style and price these days. They come square and oblong and round and oval; in wood, wicker, tin. papier mache, glass, copper, silver, brass; with handles and without; on removable stands and on wheels. If you want to be original, you can make trays of your choice lace or linen doilicr, that are so lovely you hate to keep them safely locked up and also break your heart when they are used and soiled. Have them mount ed on wood, covered with glass, and have little handles screwed on both ends. You can then proudly dis play your linen treasure, without exposing it to the danger of being spotted. You can buy trays from 10 cents Up to several hundred dollars, and that being the case it is far better to have many cheap trays than a few costly ones.

It’s important, how ever. that the tray should be sturdy, enough to support its u s e. Don't buy a very large tray that is so thin it wobbles in the middle. The very large round wicker trays must have a stand to support them. And incidentally, this type is extremely convenient. The stand is collapsi ble so that when not in use, they can be stowed anywhere, taking up little space. Yet, set up, the wick er tray and stand turn into a low teatable large enough to accommo date service for six. Half a dozen trays is none too many for any household. The small ones, 12 or 15 inches in length, are very handy for drinks or ices. One or more of the larger trays, about 20 or 24 inches long, either square or oblong, are suitable for the serv ice or sandwiches, cake, tea or cof fee, and for afternoon tea. Sev eral trays will make it possible for thoughtful guests to help the host ess serve a large party—and any thing that induces such a division of labor unostentatiously is worth providing. The most substantial of all is the serving tray on wheels, and if you get into the habit of using this fre quently, it is one of the most help ful of modern labor savers. For breakfast, the tray is wheeled into the kitchen, set, and wheeled into the living room or dining room, wherever you prefer to eat. After breakfast, it is wheeled back to the kitchen near the sink. No trotting back and forth with plates and sil ver—two trips do the whole job of serving and clearing away. If you do all your own work, you can serve dinner for two this way likewise. Most of these trays on wheels come equipped with lower shelves. If you plan to serve a complete din ner, without having to rise from the table once, the first course is on the top, with the two drop leaves supported so that it looks like a sturdy round table. The two or three other courses are on the low er tray, and the next course put on top. With good planning ahead, anybody can serve a whole meal un interrupted by trips to the kitchen in the middle.

Relief from Gas Stomach Pains Dizziness The doctors tell us that 90 per cent of all sickness is due to stom ach and bowel troubles. You can’t be well if your digestion is bad; you are likely to get sick unless you relish food and digest it properly. Tanlac has a wonderful record as a relief from digestive troubles, even those of years’ standing. Mr. James F. Campbell, of 1012 W. Fifth St., Little Rock, Ark., says: “I had bloating after eating. My rheumatism was so bad I could hardly raise my arms. Now I can eat anything and do a good day’s work.” If you suffer from gas, pains in the stomach or bowels, dizziness, nausea, constipation, or torpid liver; if you have no appetite, can’t sleep and are nervous and all run down, you need Tanlac. It is good, Eure medicine, made of roots, erbs and barks. Get a bottle from your druggist today. Money back if it doesn’t help you.

Many of the fashionable pa raders along Fifth Avenue wore dresses that came an inch or two below the knee. A few that were emphatically longer were seen. Here and there were distinctly low hemlines showing a dendency to dip in uneven frills. There were also plenty of ultra short skirts. Shoes were so variegated they often struck the eye before the other components of the costume. Purple, green, pink, beige and steel blue suedes were the rule.
