Millions of dollars are paid for cos- metics in a single year. That gives an idea of how much we crave beauty, the beauty that is skin deep. Our hearty country girls arejust as ear- nest as thein city sisters in their ef- forts togive nature a boost inthie direction; and their brothers, too, show more than a passing interest. So it is evident thatcomplexion is a matter of very special importance, and that the disfiguring skin disease known as` acne, blotching the face with pimples and blackheads, means great Mental distress; even though it does not very seriously impair one's physi- cal powers. Most young people who suffer with this complaint and are anxious to have it remedied spend too much time on the face and too little on the rest of the.sk]n. They will massage the face for twenty minutes, but do not wish; to give five to the covered parts. They, must remember that the skin of the face will not respond kindly to treat books in the lawn -mower works, Pre- served ro-ser; ed bought himself some lavender sox, had sundry boxes Of candy charg- ed against his frail salary in the drug store, and set about his courtship in an earnest and wholly orthodox man- ner.

It may be made from corn that is a little too old for boiling, and will be very nice. Grate the corn, and to a pint of pulp add two well -beaten eggs, a tablespoonful of melted butter, half a teaspoonful of salt, and enough flour to make a rather stiff batter, sifting one and a half teaspoonfuls of baking powder with the flour. A little milk may be added if desired. Drop from the end of a "spoon into boiling' fat and fry to a rich, nut brown. Drain well and serve hot.

Some thing that will please the children without much expenditure of either time or money is what many mothers are considering for that ap- proaching' birthday or any other party, an occasion of thrilling Importance to the youngsters. Buy a quantity of lollypops and some gayly colored crepe paper, or use the odds and -ends of such paper you may already have in the house. Cut circles of white or pink tinted paper the size of the candy and fasten it over the waxed paper in which each lollypop is wrapped with two or three touches of glue. Next mark on these circles all sorts of funny faces. From the gay paper fashion bonnets and dresses held in place by bits of nar- row ribbon and touches of glue. Thrust the end of the stick through an empty spool and you have a charm- ing doll that can stand alone.. En- dearing colored babies may be made by using black paper for the faces.

A builder builded a temple, He wrought it with grace and skill— Pillars and groins and arches All fashioned to work his will, And men said as they saw. its beauty, "It shall never know decay. Great is thy skill, oh builder! Thy fame shall endure for aye." A mother builded a temple With loving and infinite care, Planning each arch with patience, Laying each stone with prayer. No_e praised her unceasing efforts None knew of her wondrous plan, For the temple the mother builded Was unseen by the eyes of man. Gone is the builder's temple— Crumbled into the dust;' Low lies each stately pillar, Food for consuming rust But the temple the mother builded Will last while the ages roll. For that beautiful unseen temple Was a child's immortal soul. .:-i:,:.. esee .1r.:. Man -- You feel Lifebuoy't healthiness right down into rile pores.
