Secrets of 
Beauty. 
THE CREAM OF 
MODERN 
BEAUTY ADVICE 
By MIMOSA 
A "Blackhead Secret. 
BLACKHEADS, oily skins, and enlarged pores usually go 
together, but can be instantly corrected by a unique new- 
process. A tablet of stymol obtained from the chemist, 
is dropped into a tumbler of hot water, which will then, of 
course, " fizz " briskly. When the effervescence has subsided, 
the face is bathed with the stymol-charged water, and then 
dried with a towel. The offending blackheads, of their own 
accord, come right off on the towel, the large oily pores immedi- 
ately contract and efface themselves naturally. There is no 
squeezing, forcing, or any drastic action; the skin, is left 
uninjured, smooth, soft, and cool. A few such treatments 
should bo taken at intervals of three or four days thereafter 
in order to ensure the permanence of the pleasing result so 
quickly obtained. 
Grey Hair — Home Remedy. 
THERE are plenty of reasons why grey hair is not desirable, 
and plenty of reasons why hair-dyes should not be used. 
But, on the other hand, there is no reason why you 
should have grey hair if you do not want^ it. To turn the hair 
back to a natural colour is really a very simple matter. One 
has only to get from the chemist two ounces* of concentrate of 
tammalite, and mix it with three ounces of bay rum. Apply to 
the hair with a small sponge for a few nights, and the greyness 
will gradually disappear. This liquid is not sticky or greasy, 
and does not injure the hair in any way. It has been used for 
generations with most satisfactory results by those who have 
kncwn the formula. 
To Kill Roofs of Superfluous Hair. 
WOMEN annoyed with disfiguring growths of superfluous 
hair wish to know not merely how to temporarily remove 
the hair, but how to kill the hair-roots permanently. 
For this purpose pure powdered pheminol may be applied 
directly to the objectionable hair-growth. The recommended 
treatment is designed not only to instantly remove the hair, 
but also to actually kill the roots so that the growth will not 
return. About an ounce of pheminol, obtainable from the 
chemist, should be sutficient. 
The Real Cause of Most Bad Complexions. 
IT is an accepted fact that no truly beautiful complexion 
ever came out of jars and bottles, and the longer one uses 
cosmetics, the worse the complexion becomes. Skin, 'to 
be healthy, must breathe. It also must expel, through the 
pores, its share of the body's effete material. Creams and 
powders clog the pores, interfering both with elimination and 
breathing. If more women understood this, there would be 
fewer self-ruined complexions. If they would use ordinary 
mercolised wax, instead of cosmetics, they would have natural, 
healthy complexions. 
A Strange Shampoo. 
IW.\S much interested to learn from this young woman with 
the beautiful, glossy hair that she never washes it with 
soap or artificial shampoo powders. Instead, she makes 
her own shampoo by dissolving a teaspoonful of stallax granules 
in a cup of hot water. " I make my chemist get the stallax 
for me," said she. "It comes only in |-lb. sealed packages, 
enough to make up twenty-five or thirty individual shampoos, 
and it smells so good I could almost eat it." Certainly this 
little lady's hair did look wonderful, even if she has strange 
ideas of a shampoo. I am tempted to try the plan myself.
