FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 1947 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE NINE a BEAUTY FOR YOU-- Bathing Is a Beauty Rite BY HELEN JAMESON Addicts of the cold bath who "run around bragging about tak- {pg shivery showers may be en- titled to medals for courage and mina, but they aren't always as clean as they think they are. Cold water does not remove dust, oil and dead scales from the hu- man hide; only soap, warm water and heavy friction will do that. The icy deluge puts pep in the system, makes one drag big gulps of air into one's lungs sets one up. But as a cleaning agent it is null and voll, Besides keeping one's self-res- t at par, there is another rea- son for the daily scouring. No telling how many bacilli are pres- ent on the skin surface waiting for a small abrasion to give them entrance into the tissues, Soap and water form a mild fairly ef- fective antiseptic, As an organ of elimination for waste fluids, the skin is first as- sistant to the kidneys, Subtle poi. sons lurk in deposits left upon the skin by sweat -- ugic acid among them, All this debris should be removed daily, if one fs to enjoy perfect health, have an appearance of freshness. The bath fiend who would rather miss her breakfast than her dally scrubbing shows her well-washed condition in the good coloring of her complexion, A necessary item in the beauti- fying equipment is a bath brush with bristles so firm and heavy that they take hold like the pangs of a guilty conscience, It is only by means of friction that dead shin scales, which carry an un. pleasant odor, can be thoroughly removed, The water should be warm, so that soap lathers freely. By resting in the bath for a few inutes before starting the fric- on with the brush, skin debris will be loosened, the cuticle will soften, and the bath will be a true renovation. The girl who leaps into the tub, swishes around a washcloth and leaps out again might just as well not bo- ther. Every particle of soap should de laved away.

The body surface can chap, the same ag the surface of the face and hands. Don't rely upon a dainty damask towel for this purpose. Use a heavy Turkish towel and rub like all get ut, "They" tell me that some of our loveliest movie stars realiz- ing the benefits of the bath, make it a rule to take a warm sudsy scouring at bedtime and a quick cold shower in the morning, The benefits to the complexion are manifold. Step Lively The other day the crowd in a busy subway station in London was moving toward the exit at an even slower pace than usual. A porter watched them with despair written all over his face, but instead of shouting he beg: tune, Gradually the crowd, Are too many doctors as bad for the patient as too many cooks for the ? Hollywood, repeatedly being diagnosed as being in a de- ciine, is probably worried about this latest threat with so many persons bursting into print with causes and cures for the illness, Latest: diagnosis comes from Variety, the trade paper with its fingers always on the entertainment pulse, which lays the blame on lack of original story material because most Hollywood writers are afraid to take a chance on their own creativeness." Bogle Doesn't Show "Dark Passage," the latest film starring Humphrey Bogart, doesn't show him until the last reel but Lauren Bacall, his co-star, is seen throughout. The film uses the same technique of having the camera as the eye of the principal player which Robert Montgomery uses in "Lady in the Lake."

Operation Relieves Ringing in Ears By HERMAN N BUNDESEN, MD. AT one time or another nearly all of us have had at least a brief experience of "ringing" in the ears, In such cases it is a passing thing but even that should give us more sympathy for these un- fortunate people--the great com- poser Beethoven was one of them --for whom these head noises, which doctors call tinnitus auri- um are a day-in and day-out af- fair, Constantly plagued in this way, they suffer so severely that they are unable to concentrate on their work, become nervous and upset and are unable to sleep.' A Careful Study Dr. Julius Lempert of New York has made a careful study of this condition, He concluded that the ringing in the ears might be the result of inflammation of some structure within the middle part of the ear or the tympanic cavity, He found that when a per- son has an acute inflammation of the middle ear this same struct- urt becomes acutely inflamed and ringing in the ears results. When the acute inflammation subsides the ear noises stop. He also found that when a per. son has a long continued infect. fon of the middle part of the ear this structure is destroyed and ringing in the éars no longer oc- curs. The structure which seems to be responsible for the difficulty is a group of nerves known as the tympanic plexus, Hence, he con- cluded a cure for head noises might result from an operation to remove these nerves, He car. ried out the operation on 15 pa- tients who had suffered from tin. nitus aurium over a long period of time, In three of these pa- tients there was also deafness due to damage to the structures of the middle ear as a result of in- fection, In all three patients the ear noises disappeared. In Five Patients In five patients the tinnitus oc- curred even though the hearing was normal, The operation clear. ed up the dufienlty in only three of these, In four of the patients the tin- nitus was accompanied by deaf- ness due to complete destruction of the ear nerves. In three of ree the operdtion cured the tin- nitus, In the three remaining patients there was damage to both the middle and internal ear and the operation relieved only one of them of the tinnitus, It would seem that if persons have ringing in the ears and medical measures of treament do not bring relief the operation sug- gested by Dr, Lempert might be worth trying. VACATIONS-- It has become possible, the ad- vertising pages reveal, to buy a va- cation at the department store and charge it, or, if one prefers, pay for it on the installment plan, so much down, so much a month, meanwhile having the use of the vacation without waiting. Whether the cus- tomer's money will be cheerfully refunded in case the purchase proves unsatisfactory we don't know, nor do we quite understand just how a patron who finds that his Palm Beach vacation doesn't fit will be to exchange it for a San Diego one. But the skilled minds that devised this answer to a universal want have a ed for these contingencies, no doubt.

Glamorizing Arm Loveliness for Evening Whether you are a housewife or business girl, your hands need wnstant applications of a good protective cream, J * Black evening gowns seem to be the crying rage at the moment. They form a distinct background for hands and arms, that must be in perfect copdition, What about yours, pretty one? Let us hope your arms are not showing goose flesh; if they are you must get at them with soap suds and a heavy brush to normal- ize circulation, after which treat- ment you must give your fins a five minute creaming, stroking, rubbing, inching, A talcum friction before dressing for the merry evening will give them a soft, velvety look. Sprinkle it on freely, then rub it in with a large Jamb's wool pad, Not enough siiention is given to arms, as a Chapped Hands Chapped hands are a beauty curse, if ever there was one. The time when ladies sat on a cushion and sewed a fine seam is beyond the memory of even the ancient and honorable among us, Hands are busy these days, doing, all kinds of work, and they need xtra special * * care. What are you doing about yours? Are you plying the hand lotion or cream once or twice a day, as you should? If you are the active housewife, doing heavy work that falls to the lot of all of us these days, lotioning ig necessary to make up for the loss of the natural oil because of many hand washings, Have A Some day when you are giving yourself a few hours of delightful relaxation at the beauty factory, have a hand and arm massage. It does wonders to help along the good work of keeping the paws from looking old. A soothing cream will be applied with firm strokes from shoulders to finger tips. Special attention is given to the elbows that can al- ways do with a bit of bleaching, The cream is frictioned into the ocu- ticle surrounding the mails, After the massage, moist hot towels are applied to loosen dead cuticle. Then comes the manicure and the ruby glow for the finger tip sheaths, Dog's Life Not Bad If The Dog Is "Rip" Vancouver, Jan. 22 -- Whoever complains of being forced to lead a dog's life apparently never heard of Rip, a little seven-year-old wire- ired terrier living in Victoria. Rip is currently lolling in the lap of luxury, master of all he surveys. And he surveys plenty, a beautiful mansion set in landscaped gardens overlooking picturesque Beacon Hill park. The dog was the surprise benefi- clary when the will of his late mistress, Mrs. Marguerite Ethel Spratt, president of Victoria Ma- chinery Depot, was probated in su- preme court. Monthly Income He was awarded a monthly in- come of $75 for life, the right to sleep in a satin-covered bed in Mrs. Spratt's elegant boudoir and to .| bathe in her tiled bathroom Just to make sure Rip gets his meals on time and his every whim will be catered to, he will have the services of a trained nurse. Anda when the terrier finally leaves his earthly possessions, he will be bur- ied in the garden of the Spratt home among the trees and bones he loved so well. According to Mrs. Spratt's will, the dog must not be bathed in any laundry tubs nor be kicked into the basement at night. Beds and Bath 'The will states: "Rip must be per- mitted to use and occupy my bed in my bedroom and shall be bathed in the bathroom adjoining my bed- room and shall be allowed the same privileges (he) now enjoys." Miss Alice Cartwright, the train- ed nurse who looked after Mrs. Spratt, hag been left $1,000 a year if she will care for Rip in the Spratt mansion. At the dog's death she will receive an additonal $5,000. The nurse wil be allowed one other person in the house, but only one, and when the dog dies the home must be sold, Mrs. Spratt, who had no direct relatives, left the bulk of her $470,- 403 estate to charity.
