MORE ABOUT PSORIASIB TREATMENT
I write frequently about psoriasis (raised spots covered writh white lcales on the skim because, while lymptoms are not painful. they tause great distress and embar- rassment to the patients. The spots look like spZashr-s of mortar on the Skin

PLANNED BEAUTY
Your perfume cologne. soap and bath powder should all have the same fragrance. If each of them has a different flower odor they could, of course. make a beautiful bouquet but amateur blending docs not always turn out (veil. Sallow skins bloom w-hen pink-tinted face powder is worn. Lipstick brushes bc cleansed by dipping them in alcohol. A tabiespoonful of sachet, blended with a bath pow- der in the same odor, makes a really definite fragrance.
LUNCI-IEON DISHES
For a_ quick luncheon dish serve dripped beef and cooked
a can of condensed mushroom soup. Add a crisp salad of lei- tuce amd cucumber, and serve fruit and cookies for dessert.
Open-faced bean and bacon sandwiches make a filling lunch- eon dish. Top split toasted ham- burger rolls with the hot beans and the bacon and garnish with small sweet gherkins, tomato or onion slices, and salad greens.
MAKE A SKIRT
Even the beginning sewer need not be afraid to tackle the making of a square dance cotton skirt. In fact, it's probably the best and EBSIFJI way to start your sew- ing career. For t-he cotton fabric

Chill cooked cereal; slice it thin, fry and serve with jelly or syrup. In other words dress up your cereal!

Science has shown that oatmeal does not “heat the blood"; and that cold ready-io-cat cereals are not ne- cessarily lea nourishing hot.
