WINTER

BEAUTY

Women, especially during the winter months, do not drink enough water. Water is one of the greatest and most heaithful of nature's bless ings. It is a necessary dilutant of the solid foods we eat, it is the chief agent in elimination of poison through the intestines, kidneys and pores of the skin. But do not wash down your meals with water! and be particularly careful not to drink a tumbler of ice-cold water after 4 meal. The digestive mechanism neods a certain, heat temperature and a sudden chill die- rupts its working properly. Six glasses of water a day for the average person should be taken, more or less, as the Individual seems to require.

ELASTIC BELTS

Elastic belts should never be washed with soap and water in the usual way" or they will perlaki quickly. A much more successful method is to dry-clean them, as in this way all dirt fa removed with- out any fear of damaging the elas- tic. Mix equal quantities of coarse kitchen salt and white flour in a basin., Place the elastic belt on the table and rub if·all' over thoroughly with the cleaner. Fin- ally hang it out of doors and beat out all trace of four and 'salt. If this cleaning method is adopted elastic belts and corsets will wear twice as long as usual.
