BEAUTY TIPS
If you're a
BLONDE.
•
YOUR HAIR.. should be one of your greatest charms- fine, soft, and golden. But it's liable to get brittle and drab. Remedy. Massage your scalp (only the scalp matters-hair is dead from the neck np) with warmed olive oil and the tips of your Angers for twenty minutes. Keep it up once a week for a month if necessary. Another time give your hair a brightening application home, made from camomile flowers mixed to a paste with water.
► YOUR COMPLEXION. : is potentially very clear. fine. textured, and wonderfully white. But it's subject to roughness, fine lines, and going bright red in the sun. Tap akin food into the lines and roughnesses; pure lanolin beaten roft with nimend oli is excellent for crinkles round the eyes. As for sun-burning-don't attempt to tan. You'll only coarsen your skin. Protect yourself with sun-proof waterproof tan make-up.
✡ YOUR EYES... may seem a weak point because they are. fight with pale lashes. Give them an eyewash every day (a good
eye lotion or a few grains of borax in rosewater). When they're tired, lie down with pads of cotton wool soaked in astringent bound on them lightly. To make the lashes grow and grow darker, brush them regularly with castor oil and bay rum. Bat don't expect them to shoot up overnight like Jack's beanstalk.
YOUR MAKE-UP ... (provided you're a true blonde... born, not made) will suit your type best if li is delicate rather than exotic. Reda which have a blue tons are right with your fair skin-rose reds, not orange reda; powder with pink in It; blac shadow if your eyes are blue, mauve for grey eyes; sliver or silver blue In the evenings and blue mascara.

NINE YEARS OF STOMACH TROUBLE
"Can eat and drink anything now"
For nine long years Mr. H. suffered the agony and torture of stomach trouble. For nine years he searched for a cure in vain. Yet only a trial course of Maclean' Brand Stomach Powder made him so much better that he feels as though he is in heaven!" Read his amazing letter:
"For nine years I have been under. doctors and several times in hospital, but got no satisfaction until a friend told me of a bad case which Maclean' Brand Stomach Powder had cured. So I decided to give it a trial; and

the most popular forms of enter- Laining, and they are certainly a boon from the catering point of view, as they entail very little trouble in this direction.
The hostess can easily arrange her refreshments so that they are ready to bring in at an Interval in the playing.
I find it a good plan to make coffee beforehand, and put it into a large vacuum flask. Hot milk goes into a separate fnsk. The sandwiches are wrapped in greaseproof paper and then a damp cloth, so that they keep moist.
The only problem is—what to have for a change in sandwich Allings-- something light and tasty?
Smoked Salmon Rolls

Smoked salmon rolls, made by put- ting slices of smoked salmon crustless slices of brown bread and butter, sprinkling with lemon juice

If you consider smoked salmon too tried expensive, have you smoked haddock as an economical substitute? Spread the bread with butter into which a little dry mustard has been incorporated, then make the sandwiches with thin slices cut from of the fleshiest part of a large smoked haddock-raw, of course-flavouring with lemon juice and pepper in the usual way, and you will be surprised how like this is in favour to the ex- pensive delicacy,

If your child is under eleven-be careful what Laxative you give him! He should have a special laxa- tive—a child's laxative.
For adult laxatives are often too harsh for a child's sensitive system. They may cause him griping pain or an upset digestion. It may be difficult to get a child to take a bad-tasting medicine.
But such things need not be. For there is one laxa tive that is perfect for children... Castorial Castoria is made especially for children from babyhood to eleven years. You can give it to your child with con fidence. Castoria is gentle-yet thorough. It contains no castor oil, no harmful habit-forming ingredients. And children love its "candy" tastel
In more than 5,000,000 American homes, motfiers give their children Castoria for consti- pation, colic due to gas, upset stomach and the first symptoms of a cold.
Get a bottle of Castoria today. Be ready for the little upsets that come to every child. Give Castoria-the laxa- tive that is made especially for children.
