Towels which have been used and then dried and used again are often the cause of rash production. It a clean towel cannot be had after every bath it is a simple matter to swill through the used towel in clean water and hang out to dry. It will then be safe to use again.

The acid perspiration itself makes the skin sore; a cold shower is good for closing the pores and preventing undue excretion.

Unusual materials are also being used, such as pliable braid, hand woven hemp, and, later on, for summer days, a beautiful quality shantung silk from China.

Compact or cream rouge can be used, but powder should be applied with a light hand. Eyes and Noses

EYES are not the only things that run in a fog; noses run, too. Both these features need different treat- ment on n cold and foggy morning from the kind they get on a nice fine day.

A tiny speck of special nose cream should be well rubbed into the nose before powdering it, and it will undoubtedly save your face if you take the pre- caution of carrying a tube of the cream in your handbag.. so that running repairs can be carried out after one of those very necessary "good blowA,”

Eye make-up is risky when there is fog about. Instead of eye-shadow, brighten up the lids with a smear of oil or vaseline, and brush the lashes with a little nil or dark brown eyelash cream.

IN your handbag, bc-

sides the nose cream pop in a few face tissues and a small phial of the complexion milk, so that if you are out for the day and want to freshen up you can do so thoroughly.

In any case avoid repowdering as much as possible. A blend of fog particles and powder do not add to the gaiety of faces on a dull November day.

Go as gay as you please with your lipstick, and for powder choose a warm apricot or ochre roseetone.

Children, as a rule, object strongly to medicine, and it is in no small. measure due to the fact that Baby's Own Tablets are pleasant in taste timt they enjoy an ever Increasing reputation in homes where there are children. "My little ones call them little candies and will not take any other", writes a Canadian mother, Mrs. Adking, 303, Shaw Street, Toronto.

Their pleasant taste is but one of several features which make Baby's Own Tablets the ideal health corrective for infants and young children. The tablets are readily crushed to powder and are therefore easy to give; accuracy of dosage is assured by the form in which they are put up. They are the prescription of an eminent medical child specialist,

The tablets have a mild laxative action and gently dispel constipation, sweeten the stomach, old digestion, relieve colds, expel worms. They are of special merit during the teething period, settling the stomach, easing the pains and inducing sound health-giving sleep. Obtainable from chemists.
