ORANGES FOR BEAUTY

A TONIC FOR ALL Nearly everybody likes orange juice, and it is interesting to gather from the discussion at the British Pharmaceutical Society's Conference that orange juice likes nearly everybody. "It is, perhaps," ssaid one expert, "the only food other than milk that can with safety be given to infants." Though it has other and longer-known medicinal virtues, its claims have been widened by the study of vitamins. This has set the orange on a distinct pedestal above the lemon and the grapefruit; for it alone supplies all the vitamins in generous quantities.

Winter complexions sometimes misa the tonic of the sun and the plentiful, health-giving fruits and vegetables that summer brings. But oranges step into the breach, and you should make full use of them, for they are equally good for the skin and the figure. Take a glass of orange juice before breakfast, neat if you are plump, but mixed with a tablespoonful of pure olK'e oil if you are too thin. Make plentiful supplies of orangeade and let all the family drink it with and between meals. Here is a good recipe: Steep the peel of four oranges in a pint of boiling water for several hours. Squeeze out all the juice from the oranges and put on one side. When the rinds are thoroughly steeped, take a pint and a-half of water and half a pound of sugar and make into a syrup and add this to the other jug, with the rinds, together with the juico of two or three more oranges and of one lemon. Stir thoroughly. Strain before use.
