’TEENS THE TIME TO
PROTECT SKIN BE A UTY
By JOSEPHINE HUDDLESTON
My goodness! All the letters I have been receiving from mothers these
tT»WC€ks' requestln* ®n article on the use of cosmetics for girls of
13 to 18. What have you young ladies been doing? Prom the tone of
the letters it would seem the complaint is not that
you are dipping too deeply into the rouge pot. but
that you are misusing the very preparations which
are supposed to benefit the skin. Hence this article
Personally it seems to me that when mothers are
as lovely as that in their attitude toward cosmetics
that you dcughters should meet them half-way and
learn Just what treatments and preparations are
necessary to keep all the sweet freshness of youthful
beauty.
The same general rules governing the use of
creams for cleansing applies to the teens as well as
to the twenties and thirties. If your skin is Inclined
to be oily a cleansing cream that has been com
pounded for this type of skin should be used instead
of a cream that is made to meet the needs of a nor
mal skin. If. on the other extreme, the skin is in
clined to excessive dryness a cream that is nour
' _ tehing as well as cleansing should be used. •
4n Jr normal °°y may be washed with soap and water without
2" retf.cte lf 8 bland s«*p is used and the skin is rinsed thoroughly. If
the skin is inclined to dryness and you prefer soap and water instead of
.-icttiJi. massage a ugnt application'
of pure mineral oil into the skin
after rinsing and drying it. Let
the oil remain on for a moment or
two. then remove it with soft clean
ing tissue.
After all impurities have been re
moved saturate a pad of cotton
with skin tonic and smooth this
over the face. Then, pouring a lit
tle of the tonic into the hands dash
it over the face and pot the skm
smartly with the fingers to stimu
lae circulation. This not only re
moves any remaining trace of
cream but tones up the muscles and
tissues so that sagging and wrink
ling will not occur later.
If every girl from the age of fif
teen would follow this simple pat
ting every morning and evening
most of the late twenty and early
thirty troubles would never occur.
About skin foods and nourishing
creams. Except in very unusual
cases no girl under eighteen has
any need for them. If used on a
skin that is normal and where
necessity for their use is absent,
they over stimulate and enrich thr
tissues, causing whiteheads and
other beauty destroying blemishes,
thus causing harmful rather than
ft—
beneficial results. I know it's fun
to dabble in these advanced prep
arations but I'm sure you’ll forego
their use, when you realize that
such indulgences will prove dis
astrous rather than beneficial.
Rouge is a matter of individual
need. Some girls have no coloring,
i even in their early teens and in
: such cases I think you should be
permitted to use a good rouge if
you will take the time to apply it
lightly, bend smoothly and choose
i a tint that matches with the gen
! eral one of your skin and com
1 plexion.
Any operator in a beauty salon or
partment of a shop will be glad
.saleswoman in the cosmetic de
to help you select the right shade
of rouge for your cheeks and lips.
After your choice has been made,
apply the rouge lightly because
. your own natural color will come
I up as you become interested in
1 dancing, playing or tennis. This is
; an unfailing sign of youth.
At night, before you go to bed.
no matter how tired you are, re
move your make-up using cold
cream first even though you follow
this with a soap and water wash
ing. Nothing removes cosmetics as
completely as creams because the
oils used in their composition pene
trate deeply into the pores and so
minimize the possibility of black
heads and such blemishes.
Use light weight powders be
cause as a general rule the texture
of your skin is too fine and deli
cate to make the use of heavy
powders advantageous. Heavy pow
ders were formulated to meet the
needs of women whose skin has be
come coarsened as they grow older.

honors to Prank Borzage, who
directed it; Bernard Steele, who
staged it. and to Owen Davis. Sr.,!
who wrote the dialog. The fllm.j
based on Homer Croy's widely read
novel, is said to be refreshing in its
radical departure from hackneyed

Arcadia - Harlingen
Murder mystery stories, whether
they are in the story or motion pic

a nationally famous criminologist.
Von KleinSmid expressed this
opinion during ansinterview recent

PALACE—McALLEN
Before a single foot of film was
shot for “The Trial of Mary Du
gan." opening Sunday at the Pal
ace in McAllen, every player in the
all-starr cast had to learn the en
tire dialogue from beginning to end.
Norma Shearer, who plays the ti
tle role, had to learn every single
word of the murder drama within
two weeks, but Raymond Hackett,
who plays the leading male rots,
had nothing to learn since he
played the same part on the stage
for more thaa six months. Myra
Hampton. Adrienne. D’Ambricourc
and Mary Dome also duplicated
their stage parts.
Lewis Stone. H. B. Warner and
Raymond Hackett are featured with

RELIEVED CAUSE OF
SEVEREJLEADACHES
Painful Symptom of Constipa

Use of Black-Draught.
Baton Rouge. La.—Many a man or
woman has found relief from head
ache, when a condition of constipa
tion was the underlying cause, by
taking a simple, powdered prepara
tion of selected medicinal leaves and
roots, known far and wide as Thed
ford's Black-Draught.
1 Here is an instance of how Thed
ford’s Black-Draught proved of
benefit to a Louisiana lady;
“About two years ago I was suf
fering from constipation.” writes
Mrs. P. Guidry, of 620 North Street,
| this city.
M1 would have severe headache
and would have to stay in bed a
day or two at a time. I tried dif
ferent remedies; did not get relief.
“I read of Black-Draught, and de
cided to try it, and have never been
sorry I did, for it gave me relief
quicker than anything I have ever
tried.
“And now, whenever I feel the
! least symptom (of constipation) I
, take Black-Draught, and that keepe
off the headaches. I am much bet
j ten since I began taking it, and I
gladly recommend it to my friend*’*
