VEGETABLES FOR BEAUTY There are many uses for the humble potato besides the paramount one of nutrition. For example a Sydney writer states that the staple vegetable will not only remove all traces of shine from the skin, but will also give it a soft and velvety texture. First bathe the face for five minutes with lukewarm water dry with a soft towel, and then, while the skin is still moist, cut a potato in halves, and massage the skin with the cut end of the potato. As the moisture from the potato is absorbed by the skin, slice a thin layer from the cut end. and apply again. When the skin lias absorbed as much juice as is possible, allow it to dry and remain on until the morning. In the morning wash with tepid water. Onions are one of the best beautifiers it is possible to procure, and if your skin is sallow or muddy you can not do better than to eat plenty of these vegetables. Radishes passed through a mincer and finely grated can then be eaten as a sandwich with bread and butter. This vegetable will help keep wrinkles at bay. and people who are ft .id of radishes usually Lave a youthful skin.
