HAIR REMOVERS
ARE DANGEROUS
Dr. Wertenbaker Saya:—‘'Don't Ute
poigonoua Depilatories.”
In treating superfluous It Is of vital
importance that the agent to be em
ployed should be absolutely non-pois
onous, anti-septic and germicidal, be
cause if It is not so with frequent use
It will produce eczema or blood pois
oning. The trouble with the majority
of ladies is that they don't do a little
thinking for themselves. When an
assertion is made by some unreliable
concern they take it as gospel truth.
They never consider the reliability,
neither do they question or ask for
any substantiating proof that a prepa
ration is non-poisonous. They see®
to think that the bare word of the
manufacturer is sufficient. To the
contrary, ladies should be most par
ticular in choosing a hair remover and
learn first what reputable authorities
know about it.
Dr. Wertenbaker. the prominent
physician, says:—"For several years
I said to my patients, 'Don't use pois
onous depilatories, because they are
bound to do harm. I have found De
Miracle to be absolutely non-poison
ous, antiseptic and germicidal, there
fore, on account of these qualities, it
is distinctly beneficial to the skin and
under no circumstances can it pro
duce eczema or blood poisoning. I
have used the preparation in my prac
tice for a number of years, and find
that the principle of its chemical and
physiological action is correct. I con
sider it the only satisfactory method
for the removal of superfluous hair.' ”
Better take a doctor's advice. Don't
be deceived with the fake free treat
ments which are advertised so exten
sively in the newspapers. Remember,
after you have used worthless concoc
tions it will be harder to remove the
hair: therefore, isn't it better to in
vestigate all hair removers first, be
fore you try any of them?
We will send, you absolutely free, in
plain sealed envelope, a 54 page book
let containing full information con
cerning this remarkable treatment, as
well as testimonials of prominent phy
sicians, surgeons, dermatologists, med
ical journals and the principal maga
zines. You should read this booklet
before you*try anything. It treats the
subject exhaustively. Write to the

MIXED SPICES.
This is a rule from an old New
England family noted for their good
cooking:
“Take two tableapoonfnls of pow
dered cinnamon, one tablespoonful of
powdered cloves, one tablespoonful
of powdered allspice, two teaspoon
fuls of powdered mace and one grated
nutmeg. Mix thoroughly and sift
twice. Put away in a tight glass jar
or tin boxes and keeip ready for use.”
The spices becoming finer in fla
vor by long standing, and are much
better to use than any one can buy
already prepared.

what of the answer, “They cal] me

of the answer, "You lie in faith?” Is
the language between Katherine and
Petruchio natural for a woman of her

she believe lines 63-65? Compare lines

HOW TO FRY
OYSTERS PROPERLY
It is hard to get oysters (breaded
and fried successfully at home. The
trouble is that most housekeepers
roll them in egg and bread crumbs.
The coating comes off giving the
oysters a piebald appearance, and
they are usually overcooked in the
attempt to brown them evenly.
Flatten th“ oysters slightly and
lay them in fresh milk. Prepare a
mixture of equal parts of flour and
sifted cracker crumbs. Oyster or but
ter crackers are best for this pur
pose. Let the fat be very hot. Drain
the oysters separately and dip them
in the cracker mixture. Lay them
in a wire basket and fry in deep hot
fat two or three minutes. Drain on
brown paper, then slip in a hot folded
napkin on a platter. Garnish with
parsley and lemon.

fl The dresses arc linen, one-pieced. They are perfectly

ribbon—just a touch. Dutch neck. $l5.
fl Other linen dresses, high neck or Dutch style, in white,
rose, natural and a few other wanted shades, are $lO
to $2B.
fl Most of the new waists are in the Dutch style, though
there arc four or five kinds with high neck (and one
with open front) for women who don't fancy that low
collar kind. Materials in all cases are lingeries, of dif
ferent degrees of fineness. $1.50 to $5-75-
fl Particularly worth seeing are two of the new waists
at $1.50. One is very fancy, the other rather severe,
though trimmed. The materials and style go far and
away above what one usually sees priced at $1.50.
fl Those model hats, at reduced prices, are still to be had.

By Mme. D'Anjou.
If you need advice write to me.
I want all the readers ot The Light
to bring their troubles to me. All
letters enclosing stamped envelope
will receive personal answer and
all communications will be held in
confidence.
Spare the rod and spank the child.
Questioner —A sense of humor
should restrict you from proclaiming
vour love for the young man, even
though your dignity weakens and per
mits you to make declarations. Heart
affairs are not for general publication,
but for tender little special edition
books, written on your thoughts and
read only to “him.” Moreover, it may
embarrass the youth to have your
adoration for him so widely adver
tised, and I atn of the opinion that he
isn’t half wrong in his suggestion that
you voice your love less loudly. The
big world laughs at lovers, because
lovers are funny. It can’t help. The
world Is so human, you know.
Baby Bunting—All styles are freaky
when they are young, and when they
are old they’re not styles at all. As
long as you don’t scare the horses and
the one man in the world can still
bear to look at you. all is well. You
are not the only woman who considers
that the fashionrmakers think that
every day is the first of April. It Is
positively amazing how fresh these
designers get with their sheath gowns
and tub hats anil other strange array,
the likes of which were never seen
before the flood or after.
Housekeeper—lf you furnish your
house just for looks, it will look ft.
If you furnish for comfort, comfort
will be found there. If you have
oriental rugs, keep the draperies,
upholstery and everything else to one
color. Too many colors in a room de
stroy the harmony, weary the eye and
tire the brain. Blue and gray or lav
ender and gray are good colors for
sleeping apartments.
J. L. —The ordinary silver-backed
hair-brush is not only useless, but it
is a useless article that must be kept
In good condition. Tarnished toilet
table furnishings are anything but
lovely. The only hairbrush that does

the real work is the one made of Si
berian bristles set upon a rubber
cushion. They sink through the thick
est hair, and are very invigorating to
the scalp and hair growth.
Laundress —You must use cosmetic
jelly freely on your bands. It will
keep them soft and white, heal that
swollen condition and soothe the irri
tated surface. The recipe appears
often, so will you kindly send a
stamped, self-addressed envelope for
the formula, which will be sent to you
by return mail?
Down —There always have lived and
always will live certain unkind, Ul
bred persons who bother and disturb
peaceable souls. Since they are here
to stay, and you can’t rout them or
stop them, why not forget them? You
don’t worry when a dog barks or a
cat hisses, do you? Same thing!
Writer —One writes successfully
when one can say true and useful
things In a pleasing manner. It is
necessary to know when one has said
enough and never to repeat a point
after it y’s been once made. Purity
of language is as delightful in prose
as in poetry. Since there are all
kinds of readers there must be all
kinds of writers, but it is just as
well to address readers of taste.
