Hef long residence in Colo rado, where so many tuberculosis cures are made has prepared her especially well for her sympathy in this undertake ing; her enthusiasm, her merriment and iler beauty will be strong clements in effecting the sale of the stamps on her day. She hag secured the assistance of Mrs. Wilbur E. Kelley. Mrs. Edgar kilby, Mrs. Lee Koenig. Miss Edith Bowron, Mrs. Russell Hunt and Miss Norma Hood.

help. Miss Mary Lou Cobb's work in
 planning for the sale of seals has been of inestimable value to the aux lliary and the cause. She is chairman for the girls and her duty has lain in securing their services in the sale. How
 well she succeeded is evident in the number of prominent young women whose names appear in the list given this morning. She reports that she had no difficulty in getting the cooper ation of her friends and is most en- thusiastic over the prospect of spler- cid sale Too much cannot be said of Miss Cobb's work for charity. If it be true that personal service is best, this little dark eyed debutante is deserving of many laurels. She has never failed 10 give her time and strength to aid a charitable cause. and often, follow ing college dance al which she has been one of the beles, has been seen

 Some of the Workers
 Some prominent names may be men toned in connection with the work next week. In addition to Mrs. Norborne Cooke, the general chairman, there is the chairman of advertising, Mrs. Charles E Bowman. who has capably directed this phase of the work, and still expects to find time to assist two or three of the chafrmen of days in their sales. The chairman for the downsown offices is Mrs Charles Fairchield DeBardeleben, one of

 Mrs. George oliver, one of the most clever women in society, is the chair Ican at the Five Points drug store, and this, it is thought, will be one of .he most successful booths. She will probably not only have them on sale during the day, but every evening dur ing the week will chaperone bevy of society girls for an hour or two in the store where they will combine jolly time with their efforts to assist enc of the worthiest causes interesting the world today.
 From 1 to 6 o'clock every afternoon Mrs. Cooke will check up the receipts cf the day at Dr. Cocke's office in tie First National bank building So with so systematically arranged there can he no doubt of the success of the ven ture.

 A Quick Response
 There has probably never been m the history of man a charity which received more ready response the world over than this. No matter to whom an appeal is made, whether young or old, the result is the same.

Health and Beauty Hints
BY MRS. MAE MARTYR

Ethyl: Your mother is right in con-
demning face powder, as it will in time
ruin any complexion, by clogging the
pores and causing the skin to become
rough and wrinkled. If you desire
your face to retain it's smooth rosy
appearance. use the following lotion
and l am sure your mother will not OBJ
ject nor will you ever regret it: Dis
solve four ounces of spurmax in a half
pint hot water and add two teaspoon
fuls glycerine. This lotion takes away
that shiny sallow appearance, and will
make your skin smooth and velvety
without giving to it a powdered look.
SpurmaX lotion stays on much better
than powder. does not show. and is
Unequaled for removing tan. freckles
and skin pimples.
Rena n: Neither vaseline nor olive
oil will correct your scalp troubles.
Keep your scalp clean with frequent
and use the following tonic
about twice a week. massaging it gent
u into the hair roots: Mix one ounce
Of quinzOin into a half pint alcohol.
then add a half pint cold water This
tonic will destroy every
particle of dandruff. eliminate scalp ir-
stop your hair from coming
ont. and promote healthy. abundant
growth. Its regular use makes the
hair soft. glossy and free from that
dcadlooking condition.

0usen Ress, Wardrobe.

Royal annals have never recorded a
more varied and extensive wardrobe
than that which belonged to the viz
gin queen" Even at the age Of sixty
eight, when she might be supposed to
have outlived her youthful vanity, she
possessed 90 complete official cos
tunes. 102 French gowns. 100 robes
with trains and 81 without. 1915 an
tique dresses. 1876 bodices. 125 tunics.
not to mention such triies as 80 man
ties. IS dressing gowns and q fans.
It is possible that she had an ugly
foot, for she possessed only nine pairs
of shoes. which. considering her ex-
tTayagances IN other articles of APP
parel. must have some meaning. at
her death 1900 articles were found
duly cataIogued in her wardrobe
which had adorned her proud person.

remark of discomfort usually brings
a quick reproof from someone, What
do you want for your ten cents" is
the most common form Of call
down. being based, of course, on
the fact that the sanatorium was
formerly maintained by a tax paid
from the general fund equaling
10 cents per year for each beneficial
member. This tax does not look big,
but when you stop to figure that
there are I 100000 woodmen paying
it you will see that the institution
has pretty good financial backing,
after all.
The average visitor, on coming to
the sanatorium, expects to find lot
of pale. emaciated, hollow chested,
homesick and woebegone individuals
awaiting the crack of doom. In the
popular mind the tuberculosis sana-
torium is next door to the cemetery.
But what one really finds here is an
aggregation of $50 sun and wind tan
ned, we'll fed men, to all appearances
as normal and healthy as an equal
number picked up at random from
nearly every state in the union would
likely be. Four times out of five the
first remark a visitor makes in ad-
dressing a patient is: why, you
fellows don't look sick" And, as a
whole, we are not sick, in the popu-
lar acceptance of the term. either
physically or mentally. OF course,
there are typical cases of tubercu-
losis here-patients who are passing
through an acute stage of the disease,
or whose treatment has been begun
too late, either because of neglect
on the part of the individual, or
through lack of viligance on the part
of his physician. But such cases
are kept only till il is apparent that
no permanent benefit can be derived
here. On the average, there are
about a score out of the $50 patients
confined 10 their bed because they
are running temperature" or who,
at some time during the day, show
a degree or more above the normal.
On the whole the patients at the
Modern Woodmen sanatorium are
about as contented and care-free a
lot of men as one would care TO see.
Inc nrSt month Is the most trying
for a patient. During that period
he is expected to rest all the time so
that he may adapt himself TO his new
and gain. if possible. a
preliminary advantage in the fight
against disease. No privileges be
yond those incidental to the most ne
cessary functions of life are voluntar-t
lily granted. A uniform daily rOu-
tine also aids the physicians in their
study of new cases.
After a month. however, life be
gins to assume more attractions for
the patient. BY this time. as a rule,
he has been fully instructed in the
regulations and knows how he
should care for himself. If he was
below normal weight on entering the
in nearly every case he
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1911-10-17

II should be stated that the man
agement of the sanatorium discour-
ages all forms of hazing and when
the pranks go SO far as to involve
the damaging Of property or real dis
order effective repressiye measures
are employed. But il is realized that
the boys must have their fun. This
often takes the form OF enforcing the
rules. Frequent and prolonged alb
sences from ones colony, especially
in the evening, are not looked upon
with favor by ones neighbors and
frequently parties are formed TO
bring the wanderers home. When
the culprits are found they are
marched back 10 their tents and gem
orally subjected TO the paddle de-
gree.

culin is one of the discoveries that
