Unnecessary |
Pain?
Nowadays, people take Bayer Aspir
in for many little aches and pains,
and as often as they encounter any
pain.
Why not? It is a proven anti
dote for pain. It works!
And Bayer Aspirin tablets are
utterly harmless. You have the
medial profession’s word for that;
they do not depress the heart.
So, don't let a cold “run its
course.” Don’t wait for a head
ache to “wear off.” Or regard
neuralgia, neuritis, or even rheum
atism as something you must en
dure. Only a physician can cope
with the cause of such pain, but
you can always turn to Bayer Aspir
in for relief.
Bayer Aspirin is always avail
able, and it always helps. Famil
iarize yourself with its many uses,
and avoid a lot of needless suffering.

Shoppers Buried By
Germany Explosion
ESSEN. Germany. Nov. 25—'TV
Eight persons were injured seriously
land four others hurt slightly in a
terrific exnlosion today in the pub
lic market Hallon Webernlatz.
The blast was attributed to gas
leakage. It was feared there might
be ether victims in the debris.
The market hall rollarsed in th*
explosion, burying shoppers There
was considerable material damage.
The ‘Eyes, of the Home
—And Their Care
The well-dressed window, like the
well-dressed woman, must now
show a proper regard for the new
sun and air worship.
Today heavy draperies have gone
to join the ruffled petticoats.
The new window, too, must not
only be a fitting frame for the
scenic picture outside, but must
also be an important part of the pic
ture within.
In the delightful apartment bed
room sketched, the overdraperies, in
stead of being pompous, are of a
cheerful, colorful figured voile. Dig
nity is assured to the light fabric
by making the draperies floor length
and finishing them with two deep
flounces at the bottom and by a
painted pole with rings at the top
The lower sash curtain, ending at
the window sill, and the glazed
chintz shade are a soft apricot,
echoing that color in the flowers ol
the voile and the painted furniture
—a pleasing color melody with the
contrasting notes of a soft blue and
green rug.
How long should curtains be?
“Just right'—and that needs bot.n
art and science. Overdraperies may
go down to the floor, to the top ol
the baseboard or the lower edge ol
the wundow spron.
Olass curtains hung from a rod
fitted into sockets should end at the
window sill. But if the rod has
goose-neck ends, and the casing at
the top of the window is covered
the glass curtains also should end
at the lower edge of the apron. II
you are going in for the modern
istic, you may indulge in floor
length glass curtains or under-cur -
tains.
Is the room low-ceilinged? Then
the new style of “no valances'* is
just right to give the impression of
height.
I Is the room too high-ceilinged
for coziness? Then the valance is
correct, new style or not, because
1 its horizontal line seems to subtract
from the height.
! What can be done with double
windows? Be thankful for them in
a small or medium-sized room be
cause the new treatment favors
dealing with them as one unit—and
the room has the air of greater
space.
It is amazing how you can “move
walls" and change the size of a
room wtth the help of window
draperies.

NORMAL, GOOD SKIN j
HAS NATURAL SHINE
So Even If Your Nose Gets Shiny, Says Miss
Huddleston, It Isn’t Necessary to Start
Drastic Oily Skin Treatments.
By JOSEPHINE HUDDLESTON.
SKIN la ao oily," la the plaint of to many of my
J^yJL readcrs that * *m inclined to think that some of them
are being misled by the natural thine of a normal,
healthy tkin. It is wise to make certain, before starting corrective
treatment, that your akin la excessively oily, for __________
there is always danger at creating a condition
just as troublesome—a dry skin.
A normal amount of oO is essential to all
skin beauty for it gives the akin its plasticity
and softness. So. just because your nose gets
a bit shiny now and then, don’t rush out and
buy a lot of preparations to correct an oily skin
condition.
As we grow older the natural supply of oil
is gradually lessened so once again we find the
shine beneficial because it attests to our youth.
The first indication that too much oil is
flooding the surface of the skin w when a
greasy appearance becomes apparent. After
that comes the gradual enlarging of the pores,
followed by blackheads and in many cases
eruptions.
Once again we find diet and drinking water
mm HUDDOOM
two important corrective remedies, it is needless to explain this
in detail again because we all understand that when tin digestive
and elimination tracts are not functioning properly the genera
health suffers and the complexion is marred.
Greasy food and sweets encourage*
in otly skin condition. So m aggra
vated cases these foods should be
materially cut down or even elimi
nated from the diet for a short time.
Personally. 1 don't believe in the
complete cutting out cf any foods
(except by a doctor’s orders) for any j
length of time. But for a week or j
two. until the surplus oils in the I
body have been diminished, it is well!
to avoid heavy gravies, rich pud
dings. candy and rich salad dressings.
Then, when you start eating these
foods again, do so moderately.
Drink eight glasses ot water each
day. 1 get as tired of repeating this
bit of wisdom as you doubtless do of
reading it. But it’s a fundamental
necessity, so we must give it Its
piace.
And now for some suggestions re
garding local treatment. Skin tonics
tpplied after each cleansing, will
often check the surface oversupply
of oil while the healthful corrective
measures are being taken and given
an opportunity to show results.
I haven't forgotten about my old
J favorite. the oatmeal bags, hut dur
[ iing the past rear the quality of all
prepared skin tonics has improved m
greatly that It is now safe to recom j
mend their use to anyone who needs
the aid such preparations give.
I explained lust recently the need
of avoiding creams for cleansing
when an oily skin condition is pres
ent. except when special creams for
cleansing oily skin are used. This is
extremely important because you
may be adding more oil to the skin
and thus aggravating the condition
you are anxious to correct. The spe
cial creams take this into considers- 1
tion and so have drying as well as
cleansing properties.
If you aren’t quite sure what kind
of astringent or akin tonic to use.
add ten drops of tincture of plain
benzoin to one cupful of cold water,
shake well, and you've a perfectly
splendid astringent.
If you want to try the old stand
bv. oatmeal hags, and have forgot*
Un the formula, send a stamped,
self-addressed envelope and I’ll send
it »o vou.
