Stimulating Facial Tissues

By HELEN FOLLETT

THOSE sagging facial tissuest Don't let yourself get them. take They come to women who fancy they haven't time to care of their faces, who don't get enough sleep, who suffer from malnutrition because they do not get all the food ole- ments that are necessary for health and well being. It is ridiculous to lot one's countenance go to seed. It isn't neces- sary. A woman should realise that t she doesn't take care of her health and good looks nobody else will.

Close your right under the chin; hand-and-the flat part of the fist directly push upward with the Ast, reset with the jaw, Women who have observed that a spare chin seem to be forming would do well to do this little act. It will strengthen the muscles along the jaw line, have an excelicat effect upon the neck if It happens to be a bit plumper than beauty laws allow.

Use plenty of cream before starting on this pulchritude project.
