Thomas Shows BENJAMIN F. THOMAS, Auto School, who has helped men to pass the State exami ten a pamphlet which conta those contempleting taking th dred photographs on the wal West 123rd street, and if the helped to succeed were repres would run into the thousands. The SEPIA GALLERY Brief Pen Portraits of BENJAMIN F. THOMAS, proprietor of the Broadway Auto School, who has helped several thousand men and women to pass the State examination for chauffuer, has written a pamphlet which contains valuable information for those contempleting taking the test. There are several hundred photographs on the wall of Mr. Thoma's office at 217 West 123rd street, and if the total number of pupils he has helped to succeed were represented by pictures, the number would run into the thousands. THE records of the Broadway School show that the pupils who have passed the State tests as a result of instruction taken under Mr. Thomas number upward of 7,000. With such a record of achievement to his credit, in addition to his experience in the automobile business since its infancy, makes his advice invaluable. Mr. Thomas has also served as a State examiner himself and his knowledge of the requirements of the law are second in importance only to his knowledge of every phrase of the automobile business. FIRST of all, says Mr. Thomas you should have enough driving instructions to be able to handle the automobile under all conditions and circumstances when you are called for your State Road Test THE car that you take up for your examination must have all brakes in perfect order; the headlights must be equipped with lenses that have been approved by the State. The lenses and reflectors both must be clean. Your steering gear must be properly adjusted. Ownership card must be in possession of the person operating the car. The license plates must not be obstructed. AFTER giving various instructions how to cooperate with the examiner, Mr. Thomas concludes with a list of errors which cause many to be refused a license. A course of lectures is being conducted at the Broadway School, each Friday evening from 6:30 to 8:00 o'clock. The public is invited and questions about any phrase of the automobile business and how to obtain a license will be answered at the conclusion of each lecture. LEONA White and Al Martin believes that "East is East" and "West is West," and ne'er the twain shall meet. It's a shame too, for "Al" was love, and Leona was forever seeking love. 167 WEST 129th STREET—Neatly furnished front room, private. C. Lyons, Apt. 8.

There are several hun- of Mr. Thoma's office at 217. A total number of pupils he has sent by pictures, the number BRAITHWAITE SCHOOL ONE of the innovations of the modern world, the importance of which is too frequently overlooked, is the business school. For years the schools of formal education have been turning out an over supply of classical scholars, while those who desired a career in the business world had to fit themselves for it the best way they could. Conditions became really serious. Business, which is the most important feature of modern life had to depend on employees, who came to it ignorant and who had to learn as they worked. THE business school remedied this condition. Realizing that for every one place in the world of affairs for a classical scholar there are a hundred for men and women with business training, the managers of business schools began to prepare men and women for trade as the formal colleges were preparing them for the professions. After the ground had been broken the colleges saw the light and today almost every large school contains a commercial course in its curricula. The independent, or strictly business school still holds its own and will continue to do so. It is convenient, its hours of study are arranged to meet the needs of people who must work while they learn and usually its courses continue throughout the year. IT is a source of pride to Harlemites to know that several business schools are operated in their community, one of the largest of which is the Braithwaite School, 2376 Seventh Avenue. Stenography typewrting, English and office practice are among the subjects taught in the business course. Students are also prepared for civil service examinations. The Braithwaite School is more than a business institution. It is a reflection of the ambitions of its students, who are not satisfied to follow the beaten path through life. It is a landmark on the road of progress. Inter-State Tattler Publishing Co. February 26, 1925 at the Post Office --- Friday, October 7, 1927.

F. THOMAS, Prop. Co. Inc., 8288 Seventh Avenue, New York in New York City under the act of HEADLINES AND TABLE TALK A Weekly Survey of the World Friday, October 7, 1927 HURRAH FOR HARRY! HARRY WILLS, whilom professor of fistl cuffs, has invested a part of the profits of his ring career in Harlem apartment houses. In the prize ring Harry was a peculiar fighter with a style of mauling all his own. As a ndlord he appears to be even more odd in his methods of dealing with his tenants. One of his first acts after taking over the property was to reduce rents five dollars on each apartment. This conduct, as any landlord will tell you in no uncertain language, is unfair, unclubby, unsportsmanlike and immoral. In other words it is deliberately foul. WE warn Harry that he may expect retaliation. All landlords, whether Jews or gentiles, appear to be descendants of the bourbons. They learn nothing and forget nothing. Nor do they ever forgive They have Harry's name in their little books already and you may be sure that if they ever get a chance to even up the score they won't miss it. They will plaster Harry good and plenty. If Harry should ever want a mortgage extended or anything like that he will have a happy time getting it. In the meantime, however, we congratulate his tenants. PORGY * * * ** PORGY THE subject of this skit is not the fish of that name, but a book and a play by Du Bose Heyward. The Theatre Guild has the play in rehearsal and the Pittsburgh Courier announces the report of its spies that the word "nigger" occurs in the dialogue 105 times. We predict that the first ten Negroes who see the play will rush home and write indignant letters to the newspapers. The local Third Estate will dispatch reporters to the theatre and their indignant articles will be syndicated to the chocolate press of the hinterland. Every sun down paper, whose editor knows how to spell "insolent" will publish a comminatory editorial on the play and from then on it will be S. R. O. It is said that the Guild press man, who knows his publicity as well as the next one, argued till he was blue in the face to have the epithet occur not less than 168 times, but the Guild bosses, who are in the theatre racket for art's sake and not for money, flatly refused to commercialize the production. * * * ANENT THE SAME THIS is delicious. It is said Dodo Green was approached to take one of the parts and after he had read it he declined and told the white lady there were too many "Niggers' in it for him (meaning words.) She is said to have gravely answered, "Why Mr. Green there are only four" (meaning people.) WHERE TO STUDY IF we were running a best editorial department we would hand this week's award to "Where To Study" the leading article of the Chicago Whip. We would also award it three stars and the palm. It says in part: THE INTER - STATE TATTLER There was a time when every Afro-American parent nursed the secret ambition to someday send his son to the great northern universities like Harvard and Yale. They felt that in such institutions that their children would be given broader visions of life, that there they would assimilate more culture and would receive the highest type of training. In the present age, however, it has been discerned that black boys who have been trained exclusively in these larger institutions have not quite come up to expectations. Being isolated, because of prejudice and caste, they have emerged with their degrees and diplomas and an appalling ignorance of the facts of life. Some have become embittered because of collegiate loneliness and others have become egotistic and conceited because of contacts. To sum it up the graduates who have been educated exclusively in the big universities have failed to measure up to the standard of good fellowship so important in the full success of an American black man. These graduates having been shut out from college life, have no sound conception of human nature and in consequence they do not mix well, they do not make friends and their negative personalities handicap them in pursuit of success. In these southern colleges where "Greek meets Greek" and where there are no color lines and bars, it will be noticed that enthusiasm, ambition and personal magnetism seem to stand out. The man who has received training in southern colleges seems to fit into the communities where he sets out in his life's work. He understands his people and they understand him. He, as a rule, soon gets established and finds no great difficulty in making a modest success. His training, while in many instances deficient and not nearly so advanced or thorough as in the case of the northern trained man, does not incapacitate him from making his presence felt. THIS is our idea of sound doctrine. It must be remembered that all education is in a sense, national propaganda, and there are few minds that can withstand four or six years of intensive propaganda without succumbing to it. What is true of secondary education is even more true of primary education. The young man or woman of college age offers a modicum of resistance to ideas which are palpably unsound. But the child in grade school cannot discriminate so readily nor note discrepancies in what are submitted to it for facts. Hence it is common for the colored graduate of grade school to emerge with the idea that his race has produced no poets, scholars, statesmen or soldiers because their records are not included in the lessons. THE writer went to school in a large city in the South. We had colored teachers but the curriculum, of course, was one adapted to the needs of young Nordics. We read about Pat Henry, but not a word about Nat Turner; about Nathan Hale, but not Crispus Attucks. We remember one teacher, however, who possessed more race pride than most, and frequently when it was safe she would close the door and tell us a little about Negro men and women who had helped make history. If the group principal had happened to discover her telling us about the life of Paul Laurence Dunbar, when she was being paid to teach us the greatness of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, she would have been fired. We look back on that as one of the advantages of a segregated school, and we remember that woman as one of the heroines of the Race. To us she means more that a hundred Moll Pitchers. Page 3 ALTHOUGH we are patriotic to excess, there is a small group of white men included in our Valhalla of divinities. One of the greatest of these is Babe Ruth. We watch the score boards diligently and when we see the Babe has socked another home run we buy all the papers the next day in order to get the various versions of how the thing happened. On those days when the King of Clout fails to waft one in the blachers, the Third Estate loses a customer. THE PAPERS SAY WHITE high school students, in Gary, Indiana go on strike when colored students are enrolled. The school board is standing pat and declines to make provision for the colored students. MAYOR Walker denies story of having Brazillian Negroes ejected from a cabaret in Rome. HARLEM man, who says he was instructed by God to destroy the world, showed poor judgement when he picked out a policeman for his first victim. The officer has a sore thumb and the destroyer is in the hospital. ALTHOUGH 36 out of 42 colored clerks in the Department of the Interior appealed to Secretary Work to end segregation in his department, he says the colored clerks are satisfied. THERE are 80 Negro banks in the country including two national banks. Most of them have been organized since the war. THE trustees of Fisk University have spent more than $75,000 for repairs and new equipment during the summer vacation. A FORMER governor of Indiana has just emerged from a Federal prison. A political boss of the state is confined in the state penitentiary and the mayor of Indianapolis has been convicted of graft. The present governor has been indicted by a grand jury. Thus does Indiana vinicate the principal that only white protestants are fit for decent self government. HARLEM, if it gets a good break in the coming elections, will have a colored alderman and at least one colored judge. A WOMAN who flirted with a policeman was arrested and fined two dollars. The news item did not say how she looked. LAWNSIDE, N. J., we are informed, has never had a robbery, murder of other felony committed within its confines. This mayor serves without pay and the policemen support themselves by doing odd jobs. This distinguishes them from the general run of policemen, who live on graft. We were a big skeptical of the existence of this town at first, but later we learned that only 40 of its 2045 inhabitants are white. --- Page 4 BROWNSKIN MODELS OF 1928 BELOW STANDARD OF EARLIER VEHICLES Lacks Spirit and the Spectacular Display That Were Outstanding Features of First Productions. Irvin C. Miller failed to live up to his reputation for staging spectacular musical comedies, in his "Brownskin Models of 1928," now playing at the Lafayette Theatre. During the past two seasons, Miller's "Brownskin Models," company was the big sensation everywhere played. The theatre public rave over the Miller show and when booked for any city, the vehicle did a record business. But this year's offering is tame in comparison, lacking the spectacular features of the first two. The musical selections do not thrill as did those featured in the 1926 and 1927 companies. The comedy is weak in spots, and of a suggestive nature. In brief, the entire vehicle lags and works with a stiffness that is seldom found in Irvin C. Miller productions. The outstanding features of this show are the Musical Niponese, Shelton Brooks, Josephine Legget. The oriental musicians were well applauded. In his present offering, with the exception of Shelton Brooks and possibly Josephine Legget and George Crawford, Miller has not any real outstanding entertainers. The other principals are: Eva Metcalf, Eleanore Wilson, Monty Hawley, J. Goins, Blanch Thompson, Jessie Hall, Otis Sidgraves and John Henderson. The chorus girls are: Ann Washington, Henrietta . Legget, Helen Powell, Mary Welch, "Peggie" Morris, Louise Williams, Thula Ortez, Sadie Mitchell and Janet White. The models are: "Teddy" Johnson, Colleen Morton, Yvette La Rue, Mary King, Oliva Yeun, Eva Bradley and Birdie Boyd. "Who's working that typewriter so fast in there?" "That isn't the typewriter.

Cast Well Balanced. The best musical comedy vehicle seen at the Lincoln Theatre in several months, the "Harlem Rounders," is presented by the management this week. The cast is very good and well balanced, the singing pleasing and likewise the dancing of the winsome maids. The comedy is a bit weird and a rehash. Ernest Whitman, "Blondina" Stern, Doris Rheubottom, "Slim" Thompson, Bertha Roe, Birdie Baker, and B. "Crackshot" Hackley are the principals who work with a bewitching bevy of ten clever dancing beauties. Miss "Elondina" Stern was given a big hand at the conclusion of her beautiful selection, "Just Like A Butterfly." This winsome little maid also entertains at Ed Smalls' popular Paradise Club, where she can be heard nightly. Ernest Whitman is the straight man to "Slim" Thompson and "Crackshot," the two comedians, and this trio cause many a laugh. The talk at times borders on the order of suggestive smut. This can be charged to the way the audience wishes to interpret the meaning of the lines used. The Misses Roe and Baker present an ideal boy and girl sweetheart combination, supported by a nifty, spirited working chorus. Doris Rheubottom's singing is of a unique quality and Miss Baker just dances her way into your heart. The girls of the chorus are: Mae Diggs, Adelaide Jones, Lena Jackson, Jessie Love, "Jerry" Wily, Mae Smith, Vi Fisher, Edna Sawyer, Jennie Salmon and Viola Wilson. The two dancing boys, Eddie Whitfield and Atta Blake, also of the "Paradise," certainly know how to hoof it. "GIRLS FROM THE FOLLIES" Any entertainment that has "Follies" identified with its title suggests happiness, hilarity and pleasure, a trinity of elements, when distilled, will drive the worst kind of blues away forever. The concoction, announced as the "Girls from the Follies," is described as a home made remedy that has been brewed solely for the purpose of laughter, with the prescription recommending that this verile and timely draught be taken as frequently as possible. This especially applies to the tired and much maligned business man who may thus be lured from the paths of solitude and rectitude by this extremely funny, very melodious, and pictorially colorful performance with the prepossessing and talented Gladys Youth Clark, and Fred Falls Binder, the eccentric Hebrew comic, as the two featured stars. --- ONE WEEK, BEGINNING MONDAY, OCT. 10 "JAZZMANIA" Designers and Creators of Fashion Will Stage Their 2nd Annual Show and Dance at NEW MANHATTAN CASINO 155TH STREET AND 8TH AVENUE Friday Evening, Oct. 28th 1927 Headquarters for Tickets—Mrs. Josephine Stanley, 2 West 129th Street, Harlem 4429; Mrs. Mary F.

J., to raise $60,000 for the completion and equipment of the new Y. M. C. A. building was brought to a magnificent conclusion Saturday evening, when a total of $60,490 was reported. Asked to raise $10,000, their quota, the colored citizens under the inspiring generalship of Dr. P. L. Hawkins, passed what mark on the third day of the campaign and reported a final contribution of $15,166.05 and more remarkable, $4,748 in cash. *** The unique feature of the campaign was the banquet given to all the workers in the beautiful Ozone room of the Hotel Dennis, by Walter J.

Over one hundred and fifty of the leading white and colored citizens of the city broke bread together in this show place of the boardwalk. *** Mrs. Annie Malone, founder of Poro College, was the only woman present at the banquet hall and she was paid a magnificent tribute when the entire assemblage rose in unison at her introduction, and when she left the hall. It was a beautiful tribute paid to Negro womanhood. Mrs. Malone, in her speech stressed the importance of physical cleanliness and outward beauty if the heart and soul are to be sweet and lovely.

Over by Lake Apopka. He raised feed-corn and cassava and went to market with it two or three times a year. He bought all of his victuals wholesale so he wouldn't have to come to town for several months more. HE was different from us citybred folks. He had never seen a train. Everybody laughed at him for even the smallest child in Eatonville had either been to Maitland or Orlando and watched a train go by. On Sunday afternoons all of the young people of the village would go over to Maitland, a mile away, to see Number 35 whizz southward on its way to Tampa and wave at the passengers. So we looked down on him a little. Even we children felt superior in the presence of a person so lacking in wordly knowledge. THE grown-ups kept telling him he ought to go see a train. He always said he didn't have time to wait so long. Only two trains a day passed through Maitland. But patronage and ridicule finally had its effect and Old Man Anderson drove one morning early. Number 78 went north to Jacksonville at 10:20. He drove his light wagon over in the woods beside the railroad below Maitland, and sat down to wait He began to fear that his horse would get frightened and run away with the wagon. So he took him out and led him deeper into the grove and tied him securely. Then he returned to his wagon and waited some more. Then he remembered that some of the train-wise villagers had said the engine belched fire and smoke. He had better move his wagon out of LEARN TO DANCE ANDERSON'S STUDIO 564 LENOX AVENUE Phone: Brad. 3573 Or At The Renaissance Casino Daily 7th Avenue & 138th Street Phone: Aud. 1578 Harlem 9747 The Mid-Harlem Entertainer's Club 42 West 133rd Street Alberta Dougall and Jazz.

He climbed down from the seat and placed himself between the shafts to draw it away. Just then 78 came thundering over the trestle spouting smoke and suddenly began blowing for Maitland. Old Man Anderson became so frightened he ran away with the wagon through the woods and tore it up worse than the horse ever could have done. He doesn't know yet what a train looks like, and he doesn't care. COON Taylor never did any real stealing. Of course, if he saw a chicken or watermelon or musk-melon or anything like that he wanted he'd take it. The people used to get mad but they never could catch him. He took so many melons from Joe Clarke that he set up in the melon patch one night with his shotgun loaded with rock salt. He was going to fix Coon. But he was tired. It is hard work being a mayor, postmaster, store-keeper and everything. He dropped asleep sitting on a stump in the middle of the patch. So he didn't see Coon when he came. Coon didn't see him either, that is, not at first. He knew the stump was there, however. He had opened many of Clarke's juicy Florida Favorite on it. He secured his fruit, walked over to the stump and burst the melon on it. That is he thought it was the stump until it fell over with a yell. Then he knew it was no stump and departed hastily from those parts. He had cleared the fence when Clarke came to, as it were. So the charge of rock-salt was wasted on the desert air. During the sugar-cane season, he found he couldn't resist Clarke's soft green cane, but Clarke did not go to sleep this time. So after he had cut six or eight stalks by the moonlight, Clarke rose up out of the cane strippings with his shot gun and made Coon sit right down and chew up the last one of them on the spot. And the next day he made Coon leave his town for three months. JOE Truitt has a dozen jars of preserves, so he decided to go back to his wife.

New York Premier Opening of Harlems Latest Sensation Bamboo Inn SEVENTH AVE., AT 139TH STREET THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 6 Dining — Snappy Revue — Dancing Reservations: Morningside 6383 No Cover Charge Friday, October 7, 1927 FLORENCE MILLS AND HER HUSBAND GUESTS OF FOOTLIGHTS CLUB International Musical Comedy Star Royally Banqueted At Harlem Theatrical Club SURROUNDED by nearly a half hundred admiring friends, Miss Florence Mills and her genial husband were the honor guests of a group of prominent citizens, at the Footlights Club, 115 West 133rd street, last Saturday evening. IT WAS a most commendable event sponsored by that wideawake musical comedy producer. Irvin C. Miller, ably assisted by his brother, Flournoy Miller, Dr. Binga Dismond, Aubrey Lyles, Joe Jordan, Eubie Blake and last but not least, Miss Evelyn Preer. MISS FLORENCE and her husband arrived here last Tuesday a week, on the Ile de France, after having spent nearly a year in England and continental Europe. FOLLOWING the royal welcoming home tendered her on that afternoon, Mr. Irving C. Miller and his committee got together the following Thursday and arranged for the Saturday night banquet. Many invitations mailed were unfortunately not received or arrived too late. HOWEVER, it was a very representative assemblage and what was lacking in numbers, was more than made up by the spirit of the occasion. AMONG THOSE present were: Messrs. Flournoy Miller, J. Franklin Carr. Eddie Thompson, Ike Paul, Bob Slater, Arthur Bryson, Percy Colson, Henri Saparo. Ford Dabney, Allan Locke, Charles Wilson. "Snow" Fisher, Joe Jordan, William Hill, Donald Haywood, Irvin C. Miller, Harold Douglas, Dr. Lott, Mr. and Mrs. Handy, the Misses Evelyn Preer, Josephine Hall, Pauline Jackson, Mrs. Bert Hall, Mrs. Joe Jordan, Miss Mae Barnes, Doctors Binga Diamond and Ross, Counselor Pope Billups, Messrs. Reuben Brown, C. R. Moore, Robert St. Martin, Louis Deppe, Aubrey Lyles, Charles Davis, the Misses Gertrude Saunders, Edna Barr. Marion Davis and Louise Johnson. FLOURNOY Miller, acting as toast master, said he was going to shoot any speaker who talked too long. Just how Irvin C. Mill- THE INTER - STATE TATTLER er escaped being shot is a mystery. He talked long and humorously for fully five hours. EVELYN PREER left her lines at home but stumbled through her act in clever fashion just the same. Some actress, that girl. PAULINE Jackson, introduced as the greatest colored woman swimmer in America, said that she felt more at home in the water than speaking at a banquet and proved her love for the water by drinking up everybody's wine around her. MAE BARNES ducked under the table just as Flournoy Miller called upon the first speaker and was seen no more until the adjournment five hours later. When questioned about her action, she said, "I talk with my feet but I must have music". MRS JOE JORDAN talked for the whole family and how. She forbid the toastmaster calling upon the other half of the Jordan family and spoiling her good works. She hurled a verbal brickbat at one of the Miller brothers and handed the other a bouquet. "RANG-TANG" girls were much in evidence. Josie Hall was brief and forceful. She said she was glad of the opportunity to meet her ideal and inspiration, Miss Florence Mills and was oh so delighted. Atta girl, Josie, and to think that your act was not rehearsed. DR. BINGA Dismond started off about some book and five hundred jokes. Wonder who the eminent physician intended making the butt of all those jokes? BENNIE Butler now knows how a man feels in the electric chair. He too was called upon for a few remarks and looked like a man being electrocuted. "Twas an embarrassing moment for Bennie.' AUBREY LYLES fired the first brick at no other than the author of "Nigger Heaven," Carl Van Vechtin, and the Negro newspapers who championed the white author. IF BREVITY is the soul of wit, then Gertie Saunders is beyond question the greatest comedienne on the stage today. She said: "We are glad you're back Miss Mills". Who said a woman can't be brief?

The Beautytician, (a new word coined to designate the profession of those who devote themselves to making others beautiful) is worthy of wide recognition and is classed as one of the leading occupations for artistic persons. The performance of beauty operations requires intelligent and skillful manipulation of instruments, and science has proved this profession to be one of the most scientific of arts. Hence, because of the importance of knowing the beauty art scientifically, many states require beauty operators to produce diplomas from recognized beauty colleges before the state will issue a license to practice. The Apex System, as taught at the Apex College, is recognized throughout the entire country as the most practical and progressive method of developing beauty. The Apex College is a school of merit and refinement. Its spacious instruction rooms are light, alry and conspicuously sanitary. The teachers of the Apex System at this institution are of an intelligent status that is superb. After long years of study and practical experience, they have adapted themselves to the position of instructor, affording a wide knowledge, not only of the practical end of the operations, but of the scientific growth and structure of the hair and skin. Beauty culture in all its branches which includes the following subjects are taught: Marcel Waving, Bobbing, Manicuring. Systematic Massaging with Hands and Mechanical Apparatus, Shampooling and Cultivating the Hair, Hot Oil Treatments, Dyeing and Tinting. Treatment of Minor Scalp Infections, All kinds of Mud Packs. French Hair Dressing. Clipping. Singing. Scalp Massage. French Curling, Sanitation and Sterilization. Use of Cosmetic preparations. Eve Brow Arching. No student is graduated from the college until she can do the work with thoroughness and precision. The graduate is given a handsome big diploma and a beginner's outfit free. She can begin business anywhere she chooses and feel confident that she can perform scientifically any operation of her profession. She has gained a knowledge which will bring forth success and independence, as there is more money to be made in beauty culture than any other legitimate business. --- The college is generally able to place graduates in good paying positions in Apex Shoppes as the demand for Beauticians is always far above the supply. Students can enter the school at any time. Classes are held afternoons and evenings. The price of the course is reasonable. Terms arranged satisfactorily. Further information in regards to this professional training can be had by calling or writing to the Apex College. 200 West 135th street.

Bara Washington THE FACE THE face is the most useful portion of the body, not only for the physical and moral life, but still more for its relation to the family and society in general. THE face is the seat of most of the organs of sense as well as those of expression. In the former the sensations and sentiments have their birth, the latter by means of nerves, the blood vessels and muscles, express their sensations and sentiments, either voluntarily by the expression called up by will, or involuntarily by change of color or by an unconscious mimicry. IF the face is the open book of our sentiments, of our sensations, of our thoughts, our passions and our vices, it equally testifies to and reveals the functional or organic troubles which effect the health. ONE might say that the appearance of the face and its expression is the barometer of our moral and physical condition. Therefore, to avoid diseases of the face, to preserve what one has, to prevent what may come, to hide defects or supply what is missing; the various cares of toilet and the question of cosmetics are to be seriously considered. 80 don't use cheap cosmetics. Don't irritate the face with alkalie soaps. Keep the system clean above all means. Drink plenty of fresh water. Exercise in the open air daily. Fat plenty good wholesome food. Keep your face clean.
