IN some parts of the amazing land OF

different local gods that even to list

tory. True as this is of southern India,
it is even more accurate OF the strange
hill lands of the HimaIayas, where every
village has its own especial deity.
For their own god each of these hill
towns sets apart a godhouse, which in

For Women
Apropos Of the War.
By BETH JEFFRIES.

Probably the fact that women are not
able7to so out into the active world and
forget their troubles as men do. is the
reason for the excessive grief of some
women when personal bereavement robs
them of a husband or relative.
The utter wickedness and uselessness
of such course, even If there is time
to dwell upon the injustice of death. is
never brought more clearly home than
at the time of some great national dis
aSter such as the war in Europe today.
Why did II have to happen to me"'
is the rebellious cry of the woman who
is robbed by death of loved one.
why could not one who has many
children be made to bear the trial OF
death instead of me? ! had only one
Death is no respecter OF individuals,
and the cry of the individual Is an out
rageous and childish protest upon God
himself In the face of the destruction
of city, Of a whole people. the death
of an individual assumes its proper pro-
portions, and wholesome and phil
osophical perspective Is gained through
the consideration of a national disaster
which far outdistances any personal
bereavement.
There are MANY women today VINO

souring their lives and the lives of those
about them by the constant memory Of
what might have been. The lessons we

If a woman keeps her house reason

tangent when an unexpected guest ar
rives to dinner? I have seen homes
completely disorganized by the arrival
of one solitary stranger to dinner,
houses with trained servants in them,
too. And. surely. if the mistress of the
house develops a fit of nerves the Ser
wants are going to feel the strain. and
the result is a household whose con-
straint is communicated to the puest

The Rebuilding Process.
Success in this follows the transplant
tation of bone from one part Of the
body to the nose. or from the refris-
orator Of the hospitals. where living
tissues, such as bones. are now kept
ready for all emergencies
II part of the bony framework of the
nose was destroyed or distorted in
childhood with or without loss of he
bones, II can now be built over to the
queens taste.
A portion Of your rib can be easily
removed with no inconvenience at oil
to you. This lesson Of modern SUI
gerry arises. perhaps, from the Bible.
The first man lost a rib without missing
it. Men Of today may do likewise.
The middle portion of your ninth lib
can be spared at any time. There Is
little or no flesh over it, and new bone
grows quickly into the part taken for
the nose.
The simple operation for making over
any old kind of a nose into one of the
latest fashion is carried out many times
The Washington times., 1914-10-03

every day now in this way
With perfect asepsis-absolute freedom
from even the most ultra-microscopic
germs and dirt-the flesh over the hose
and over the ninth rib on your right
side Is lanced down to the bone.
The ninth rib is clipped away for .wo
inches and shelled out Of its fieshy bed
as you would peel banana. The two
inch strip is slit up the back and one-
half is shaped to the pror0 style and
inserted into the incision in the nose.
An expert surgeon leaves no scar in
his operation. 1t is an done inside the
nose. The results of all these are tx
cellent. The operation is painless, safe.
and decidedly advisable. Nor need eN-
pense stand in the way of such plastic
facial improvements. All of the sur
geons named, as well as multitudes of
others. do this at public hospitals with
out cost to you There they apply the
same skill and ingenuity as il you paid
huge sums.
BY all means. however, shun quacks
and those who inject paraffin. This la'-
ter leaves endless misery and trouble.

help you to hold your chin higher, and
filI you with the self-confidence of

doubt that arises after ii has been
dabbed on carelessly.

tffying lotions. The preparations
made from almond nuts rank very
high. It is good idea to alternate
the use Of almond meal with soap.
