Do not put in the vinegar until it is nearly done. Dr. Samuel Rogers.

^^ AND RECIPES ^^
FROM earliest ages, the care of the person has engaged the attention
of all who desire to be admired. Each year a new growth of ideas
in this direction is springing up, not alone among the women, but the
men, until to-day it has come to be understood, that in order to gain
approbation from a standpoint of looks, attention to the toilet is necessary.
There is a great call for absolutely pure recipes and harmless sugges-
tions in improving the skin, in warding off wrinkles; in preserving the
hair, in keeping the figure erect, teaching good poise, etc., etc. I give
only those that have been tried and pronounced a success.
Among the many things made possible for women by nineteenth cen-
tury science is a beautiful complexion and a graceful form.
Age need make no difference in these days of progress — the woman of
fifty is as attractive and as much admired as her young daughter.
Is your skin wrinkled and old-looking, your complexion muddy and
unhealthy, your neck, cheeks, arms or breasts shrunken and unsightly?
Why not remedy the matter?
THE ROYAL ROAD TO BEAUTY.
Breathe deeply ^ bathe daily — think joy, not sorrow — eat wisely and nevef
Speak unkindly,
A CHEERFUL DISPOSITION.
A cheerful disposition and an optimistic view of life do much toward
making the beauty suppliant, plump of outline and charming of counte-
nance. When one is blue and moody, the appetite fails, the stomach
sulks, digestion and assimilation are interfered with and the entire body
suffers from malnutrition. One should get out of doors. Exercise
moderately and rest a good deal. Read helpful books. I would suggest
Ralph Waldo Trine's works. Sleep always in a well-ventilated room.
One-half hour before breakfast take a dessert-spoonful of pure olive oil
in a little lemon juice. The olive oil feeds the system, aids digestion and
stimulates the bowels.
