CHAPTER XXVI! INTO BATTLE

The gaunt farm nilns in which Leonie had taken shelter were near- er to Fort Douaumont than she had realized; one li of the hollow in which the bull gs crouched was indeed the actual crest of the es- carpment and the road which ran down a clef-t to the village and Fort of Vaux was close by.

And that both the sign and the moment would come. Leonie never doubted.

Skin's Never Better Than yo... Habits Of Health

There are efficacious crcnms and. lotions and. complexion treat- ments, of course. but. one who wants t. o get rid of blemishes, eliminate oillness or correct an ecloeptionally dry condition had better get at the root of the trou- ble quickly.

This means ‘seeing one's family doctor and insisting upon a thor- ough lhysical examination, and discussion of onc's health habits.

For true complexion beauty, ones circulation must be excel- lent Otherwise, the skin cells will riot be receiving adequate nourishment from the blood stream. Your doctor can tell you wihat. is wrong with your circula- txiry system and recommend ex- ercise or whatever is needed.

Naturally, constipation is the great enemy of lovely skin. Do not seek a temporary cure, but

have your doctor map nut a plan .

for a permanent cure. After that

a good girl. Cottage cheese contains quantities of calcium.

Incidentally, according to an eminent diet expert. citrus fruits, green, leafy vegetables and beets and carrots are anti-acid and are therefore important to one who is anxious to eliminate exceptional- ly dark circles under her eyes. In other words, for eye. linir and nail as well as skin beauty, every woman should cat quantities of fresh vegetables and fresh and stewed fruits, drink milk and or- Milf‘ juice regularly. ‘And be- positively fussy about her exer- cise. sleeping and daily elimina- tion habits.
