TREATING OILY SKIN 1
AND ENLARGED PORES
Miss Huddleston Gives the Formula for a Marvelous
Cream Which Will Help to Correct This
Beauty-Destroying Condition
Bv JOSEPHINE HUDDLESTON
Today I have a perfectly marvelous jelly preparation for correcting
enlarged pores and oily skin. Blackheads are another matter and will
be tal en up at another time. The chief causes of blackheads are as fol
lows: the normal textured, but oily skin, because of the large amount of
oil that Is constantly being emitted through the
pores, causes them to become enlarged. If these en
larged pores are not corrected tiny particles of dust
and cosmetics settle in them and, if not removed
often enough, form into blackheads.
Bearing this in mind one can readily realize the
importance of treating oily skin and enlarged pores
so that blackheads may be avoided.
Getting down to the many uses of the Jelly,
made from formula which follows, we find it is
splendid for chapped skin and may be used on any
part of the face and body with perfect safety. Men.
too. have found that it is a delightful after-shaving
stimulant, leaving the skin fresh and clear. There
L^' ^ now. why not make a large supply so that every
^ ' member of the family can derive benefits from it.
irkcriMJtair Jellied preparations have proven extremely effec
JQSEPH1NE, tual for the purpose outlined above and are highly
HUDDLESTON favored by persons who dislike oily or greasy
creams.
A china or glass bowl should be used for mixing all beauty prepara
tions. Into such a basin place two (2) ounces of rose water and one
eighth (l-8> ounce of the best white gelatin. Allow this to stand for sev
eral hours, then heat gently until the gelatin has entirely dissolved. Into

SPEEDS I P PRODUCTION
ST. LOUIS. June 10. t/P>—'The
Curtiss-Robertson Aircraft corpora
tiono expects to double its produc
tion of 65 airplanes a week with
the enlargement of its plant for
manufreture of the new six-pas
senger monoplane, the Thrust. The
new plane is powered with a 170
horsepower Challenger engine. It
will have a cruising speed of 120
miles an hour.
c-tms mixture aaa two ounces oi
glycerin , of borax and four ounces
of hot witch-hazel. Thoroughly
blend these together for five min
utes.
Whether the corrective prepara
tion for enlarged pores be in paste,
cream, liquid, jelly or powder form
it is vitally important that the skin
be well cleansed before using it.
Allow the pores to become clogged
before applying such preparations
and they become filled with al
most immovable blackheads.
An excellent routine is to hold
two or three hot compresses to the
skin, then, using warm water, pure
tar or sulphur soap and a clean
Turkish toweling wash cloth, wash
the face thoroughly. After the skin
has been well cleansed, rinse off
all the soap and hold one or two
hot compresses to the face to open
the pores so that the jelly may
penetrate deeper and so have a
better chance of eliminating the
condition.
Jellied preparations such as the
one made from the above formula
should be rubbed over the affected
area once or twice each day. A
liberal amount allowed to remain,
on the skin overnight will hasten
the corrective treatment. It may
serve as a splendid base for pow- \
der. depending, of course upon the
skin, or after it has been worked
into the pores and allowed to re- :
main on for half or three-quarters
of an hour, just rub a moistened
face cloth over the skin to remove
all trace of the jelly.
For chapped skin Just apply a
generous amount, working it well
1 Into the skin several times each
day and at night before retiring.
Warn Merchants of
Valley to Watch For
Rubber Check Artist
The June 6 bulletin of the
Brownsville Retail Merchants as
sociation sounds a warning to mem
bers who extend credit to persons
who already owe unpaid delinquent
accounts and declares that the mer
\ chants crediting such a person com
mits a triple injustice in the fol
lowing manner:
first, an unprofitable account
is added to the books of the firm.
I it becomes more difficult for fellow
! merchants to collect their accounts.
1 and third, a heavier load is placed
upon the shoulders of the delin
quent customer who is unable to
pay for what he already has bought.
Merchants also are warned that
they either help build or tear down
the community by their methods
in extending credit. For instance,
a lax credit policy, the bulletin
says, may turn a prompt paying
customer into a slow pay customer
and slow pay customers make slow
merchants.
Warnings from the Mercedes as

the lookout for a writer of spurious
ctoccks. believed to be working to
