A Call for Peace.

So far from seeing cause for discour-
agement in the Lusitania disaster. the
women of the Peace Party see a re-
doubled call for peace agitation.
Mrs. John J. White. who is one Of the
four vice presidents of the National Wom-
ems Peace Party. and one of the most ac-
tive of the group of women whom Chris
tobel Pankhurst referred to as the
washington peace ladies'" said last
night that this calamity ought to be
looked upon by women all over the coun-
try as a signal for greater activity and
greater earnestncss. AS a matter of dig
nifty. Mrs. White said, individual Ameri-
cans might feel inclined to take up arms
but the issue that would be involved
with the taking up of arms would be
n matter far more important than
matter of disnity-it would be a matter
OF humanity.
Mrs. Whites opinion is seconded by
prominent women in other parts of the
country-by DR. Anna Howard Shaw, vet
teran suffraEist who longs more earnestly
for peace than ever: by Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait, who expressed the opin-
ion that by an embargo policy the
United States could force all Europe to
lay down arms. and by Miss Mary Gar
rctt Hay, chairman of the New York
Woman Suffrage party. who thinks that
this government should by no means seek
retaliation.
Whatever individual opinions about the
sinking of the Lusitania among the men,
hers OF the peace party may be. whether
their neutrality inclines toward the allies
or against them. one thing is certain.
That is that the peace women" are
not whit less enthusiastic for peace now
than when they organized six months

The EFFECT OF WORRY ON The COMPLEXION

The individual of average size pos
! sesses some sixteen square feet Of skin,
containing a vast network of small
blood vessels, which are capable of hold
ing one-half the body's total volume Of
! blood. The vaso-motor nerves. so called
because they control the motion Of the
walls of the blood vessels. are most
quickly affected by thoughts and emo
tons.
Fear and worry soon express them
selves in a pale, sallow skin and luster-
| less eyes, while faith and an optimistic
mental attitude favor a normal and
healthy complexion.
Among the common illustrations of
the effect of thoughts upon the skin is
| the habit of blushinG. A thought of
! shame or annoyance causes a dilation
! of the vaso-motor nerves and the blood
rushes to the superficial capillaries. The
only euro for blushing is in schooling
the mind so that 1t may be Indifferent or
callous to the thought behind it.
Sudden fear will blanch the face. A
| disagreeable emotion of fear or anxiety
contracts the capillaries, thus interfer-
ing with the nourishment to the skin.
II these emotions become chronic and
the condition that we call worry en-
sues. the complexion will almost invari-
ably become seriously affected. Being
undernourished, 1t will lose color and
life, and the unevenness in the circula-
ton will often produce a blotchy effect.
The tiny pores, no longer properly fed.
often break down and a condition known
as acne or chronic pimples results.
Beauty culturists recognize the devas-
tating effect of poor circulation on the
complexion and try to counterfeit 1t by
facial exercises and massage. OF the
two I prefer the former method of treat
ment II there is a mental cause. like
worry. back of the poor circulation. that
must first be corrected.
We also have constant proof that the
complexion is most dependent upon the
functional activities OF the stomach and
bowels. The nerves that preside over and
regulate the process of digestion and
elimination are largely affected by the
mental state. Fear and worry cause in
digestion, flatulency and especially con-
stpation. all of which have a disastrous
effect upon bodily resistance and as a
result upon the skin.
Worry will not only impoverish the
blood, restrict its circulation. but it will
generate a poison which disturbs diSes-
ton and seriously effects the nerves. Fur

this mental condition results in a pover-
ty Of the oxygen necessary to put the
poison in condition for elimination.
We must remember. too. that the skin |
is one of the important eliminative or

if you knew Troy Kinney you
would know that it has to do with
dancing, because that is the thing
to which he has devoted lifetime
of study. In fact, he has written
a big and authoritative book on
the subject.
You are very familiar with Mr..
Kinney's work. If this happened
to be signed @The Kinneys," it

ever so many fine illustrations,
especially covers of dancing folk,

1.-THE MORROW MAN"

IF I had a woman like you, I
1 should own the world" he ex-
claimed when he realized the i'm
possibility of regaining from her
steely grasp what he had lost.
"You would own, like him, just
what l gave you'll she retorted
scornfully, pointing to Adam, her
husband. Like him, you are a
morrow man. l know nothing of
tomorrow, and day and night are
one to me-"
This was the reply of the woman
who had stolen the great discovery
of the prospector in the far north
country, woman who stopped at
nothing to escape the intolerable
conditions that drive so many
women in that hard region to the
insane asylum or the grave.
She is a wonderful woman, this
Eve in the story by A. G. Allen
son. a new writer who has real
power. He is an English university
man who has settled in British
Columbia, and can see and make
us see the drama in the life there.
When you are told that this
woman not only outfaced the man
she wronged by the sheer brilliant
strength of her, but made him
work for her as her servant while
she grew rich, you will not believe
it. When you read the story you
will be convinced. Then it will
come to you that the fate of Mac
farlane is the common fate of the
morrow man. But in this instance
the prospector did not remain a
morrow man, and that is the
climax of the absorbing tale.
THE conclusion of LONNY OF
THE 1.-TWO MILLION" is
alsoin Our next SUNDAY MAGAZINE.
This exploit of Bruce Benton re-
lated by Charles T. Heaslip also
has dramatic ending that you
are not likely to anticipate. 1t is
not only good story, but valu-
able one, because it brings home in
picturesque fashion what a mighty
force publicity is when it is intelli-
gently handled. Advertising is a
good deal like electricity. Nobody
knows just what it is; but its
power is equally great, and it needs
intelligent and highly skilled men
to make it do its work.
The way in which Benton uses
it to solve the problems of Lonny
and his fellow child laborers proves
this; but Benton doesn't stop
there. He also solves the problem
of the man who employed Lonny,
using this same woodworking
force.
