Why suffer humiliation from the scrutiny" of passers-by? If your face is inarred by a disfiguring eruption, an angry rash, or un- sightly blotches, a course of Cuticura treat- ment will quickly clear you skin. Healing starts with the first application. Itching, irritation and smarting stop instantly. Pimples begin to dry up and rashes fade, your mirror shows a visible improvement each day until, in a few days, scarcely a trace of the disfigurement remains.

INITIATIVE POWERS
The Y.W.CA. is an organiza- tion where women can experiment, and make use of their initiative powers. During all these years. through working together and
sharing, our members have grown
in their sense of service, responsi
ity and understanding, as wel
as in their creative self-expres- sion. We were the first organiza- tion to start a baby welfare centr 15 years ago. Soon we had to open a second one at the YMCA and a third one over Kowloon to be nearer to the poor districts. This piece of work was much en- couraged by the Committee Mbe bers of the Ministering Children's League and the Women's Guild. who showed their great interest by sending us a generous gift o $200 annually: Now that the Government and many hospitals: in their better financial position. have taken up this work and are doing it more efficiently, we have changed our method. We vis their homes instead of asking them to come to us. We talk to them individually about the care of children and should we and they need other help, which such the Violet Peel institutions as Health Centre or the Society for the Protection of Children can give, we recommend them to these
