Just above Belalr Market Gay Street's Exclusive Optical Store The foundation of all real beauty is health; and the foundation of health is cleanliness. Beauty of feature because of its contour is an accident, but that may be marred by a sallow or a muddy skin. On the other hand, a face that is not strictly beautiful in its lines may be made truly beautiful by its expression, which Is dependent upon physiccal and mental health. "Beauty is not only skin deep" is one of those adages which brings a retort. In this case, it is that that's deep enough for all practical purposes, since most men are not cannibals. Therefore, one of the greatest possible aids to real beauty is the proper care of the skin. Which is largely a matter of bathing. You read about the beautiful maid with a color that comes and goes, and that's not the kind that comes from a drug store and goes with the first application of water. Yet most people don't know how to bathe, or how to wash their hands and faces scientifically in order to give Nature her chance as a Beauty Specialist. Of course, there are many kinds of bathing, from the ocean plunge to the little dab out of a tea-cup. You don't need an ocean or even a bath tub, but you do need plenty of warm water and good soap. There's no greater aid to beauty than the ocean plunge, but it is not cleansing. It gives that exercise which is in itself a great aid to beauty, and it gives the sun a chance to get in its fine work. Then the slap of the waves gives that fillip to the skin and circulation of the blood that you pay to get at a Turkish bath and it also gives you the invigorating breeze. More than all, the ocean contains many salts—not merely one—which the human body needs and which it absorbs through the pores. The greatest benefit, say some prysic-ians, from the ocean bath comes from the salt passing into and through the nostrils, and the little actually swallowed. The reason why the ocean bath is cleansing only to a moderate degree is because the water is not warm enough to dissolve the tiny particles of grease with which the body is normally covered. This grease holds particles of dirt and even the baccilli of disease, and it You'll Enjoy SEGARS lilllMllffll 1 l| inuuimimi Wm. Boucher & Sons MFC. Baltimore, Md.

Just remember how the skin functions and you will get an idea how to take care of it. Through every pore Nature is constantly pushing out a little oily exudation, and it is in this that the dirt particles and disease germs find a safe retreat from any attack less forceful than warm water and plenty of soap. There's no need to be afraid of getting rid of the grease, for Nature will supply more. The main thing is to get rid of the dirt and germs that get into it. Of course, no skin would stand constant soaking in hot water, and that's where the soap comes in. It makes it possible to loosen the grease particles from the skin, emulsify them quickly and then rinse them all away without an undue amount of hot water. Really, the whole secret of successful bathing lies in the rinsing. For, once the grease and dirt particles have been loosened from the skin and dissolved, or covered with a film of soapsuds, the rinsing is for the purpose of carrying them all away as well as the soap itself that is left. Dr. Martin H. Ittner, Chief Chemist of Colgate & Co., was asked recently about the germ-killing properties of soap. "Though soap kills a great many germ s," he said, "through its wonderful cleansing action, it rids the body of a great many more. This is the way it is," he added. We made a test some time ago. The hand of the subject was dipped in a culture of germs and then washed for one minute in bichcloride of mercury, so strong that if continued it eventually would have injured the skin. Then a test was taken showing the number of germs left. The same hand was then dipped in the germ culture again, but this time it was washed thoroughly for one minute with a pure toilet soap. That is, plenty of warm water-was used, a stiff lather was worked up and manipulated into the pores of the skin, and the hand was then rinsed thoroughly. The test for germs after that showed less bacteria than after the use of the germicide. The germicide may have actually killed a larger number of the germs that it reached than did the soap, but the germs that were encased in their oily armor remained untouched. It took soap and warm water to loosen these tiny grease globules from the skin and dissolve them so that the rinsing water flushed them off. The germs were gotten rid of, and that's the main point. "There's only one function for a soap to perform," he continued, "and that is to cleanse —not to medicate nor to disinfect. If medication is needed it is better to apply direct and under professional advice, for the reason that the proper medication to suit a particular condition will then be employed. There's another reason, also. No amount of medication or disinfectant or germicide that can be put into a soap will be sufficient to be of any real use, especially as it is afterwards further diluted many times by the water. So it is better that a soap should stick closely to its function of being a cleanser and nothing else. Says one eminent authority on bathing, "Select a good toilet soap and then don't spare it." Dr. Ittner was therefore asked about the question of color or scent in soap. "There is only one soap I know of" he said, "which is really without scent. If I were to • leave a cake of soap lying around for a considerable time it would have a rancid odor of the decaying oils and turn to a brownish hue. That is because it has no preservative. ?»»»»»»»,» ¦»»»$ »»»???»?» ? Get the most out of your cattle and »> poultry by feeding x Rivtrdale Feed far Cattle and % Arcady Feed for Poultry. COAL W. W. BOYCE Lutherville, Md. Telephone, Towson 443 The best preservatives for soap are essential oils and they come from flowers, leaves and roots. When we make a scented soap we are really preserving it in its natural purity. Color usually comes from the materials used in its making. When you make bread of corn meal it will be yellow, and, when you make gingerbread it will take on the color of the molasses that goes into it. That's the way it is with soap. Certain oils will produce a pure white soap. Certain vegetable oils will produce a yellowish soap. Its color comes from its ingredients as a rule, and its •odor is there naturally from the preservative used and not to cover up the use of poor materials. From the manufacturer's point of view, it would cost more to add enough perfume to cover up bad material than it would to use good material in the first place. "Then we color and scent soap because people like it. Their aesthetic sense calls for odors that they like and so we can fulfill a double purpose by pleasing and preserving at the same time, since the essential oils of flowers perform that function. "Color in soap is also sometimes artificially produced to be in harmony with the odor. Some people like the flavor and color of pistachio in their icecream or candy, or orange yellow in color and flavor. Or any other color and flavor. This color 'is added and eaten and no harmful effects follow the use of good coloring and flavoring matter. The color used in soap is equally harmless, but it adds to the value of the soap if it adds to the pleasure of the user. Anything that tends to make the use of good soap more liberal is good, assuming that the soap is good whether its color be red, white or blue and its odor whatever pleases the finer senses of the user the most." There's one other point that should be borne in mind regarding the use of warm water. How hot should it be? An old-time nurse answered that question with reference to the proper temperature for the baby's bath. "Put the baby into the tub," she said. "If the baby turns blue, the water is too cold; if it turns red, it's too hot." Hot water is the most efficient in cleansing but soap will work some in cold water and nicely in warm water. If it is too hot and used too frequently the skin is apt to chap in dry cold weather. Thorough rinsing is good but it is not so essential as some people believe to rinse off all the soap. It is good to rinse of most of it and to dry the skin thoroughly with a nice clean dry towel. Serves You Right Court Lunch Opposite Court House Towson, Md.
