Defies Age by Using Ordinary Oatmeal to Beautify Her Complexion
A vintage beauty scheme touts using ordinary oatmeal with a dash of dorchia and cheescloth to erase aging signs. The claim comes from Mae Hana and a public tester who says the routine softens rough skin, clears pores, lightens hands, and can make a fifty-year-old seem forty. The recipe involves ten cents worth oatmeal, ten drops of dorchia, and washcloth application, available at local druggists including H. L. Wagner Drug Co.

Esthonia in the Path of German Advance and Its Land Use
In the Baltic province of Esthonia the low-lying coast lies in the path of Germany’s northeastward push toward Tetrograd after Riga’s fall. The region features extensive marshes, limited arable land, and a shift from noble landholding to peasant proprietors in the last quarter of the century. Agriculture concentrates on oats, barley, rye, potatoes and vegetables. cattle breeding and meat exports rise as industry includes distilleries, mills and paper works. The population and governance reflect Finnic links and German-descended nobility, with evolving social structure and economic activity.
