RECOGNIZING HUMANlTY's
NEEDS.

Some Of the worst instances Of meg
Iect and destitution are 60 be found
in those parts OF Europe over which
the war has swept. People have been
left homeless, with little or no food
ana without means OF providing any.
Property has been destroyed, families
have been broken up and desolation
and SUFFERING have taken the place of
peace and contentment.
That the responsibility for the care
OF these people rests to q large de-
gree with the country which has. by
IT'S military forces, taken possession Of
such sections must be recognized, but
it is evident in the cases Of Belgium
and Poland that such is not being
done. Belgium has from the start Of
the war received help from all quar-
tiers of the globe, and at the same time
the various cities have been forced to
pay large sums to the invaders.
This matter Of relief, however. is
one which cannot be overlooked and
1t represents sane action when 1t is
announced from london that the Brit
ish government has agreed to permit
the shipment Of food supplies by the
Rockefeller Foundation to overcome
the deplorabIe condition in Poland.

that the needs OF humanity are get

THE LONGEST WAY AROUND.

Now that the Russian reinforce
ments for the allies fighting in France
have been safely landed, it becomes
known that the route which had been
considered the least likely to be taken
by such transports is the one which
was actually followed. Those who di-
rected the transportation apparently
followed the old adage that the long
est way around is the surest way
home.
It was the popular belief that the
Russian troops had been placed
aboard the ships at some Arctic port.
In spite of the fact that such ports
are among the Ice bound at this pc
Rod of the year, it was believed that
some method had been devised where
by such a handicap had been over

Of the new ports and that the trans
ports had proceeded through the At
lantic by giving the war zone a wide
berth, slipped into the Mediterranean
and headed for Marseilles.
The report that transport carry
ing Russians had been sunk in the
east end of the Mediterranean gave
the first inkling that such guess at
the route was wrong, but the admis-
sion now made that the unarmed men
had been sent overland to the Man
churian port of Dalny and from
there by boat an even longer dis

CLEANING pAY MApE sIMplE.

What is it that makes cleaning one
of the two most faiguing tasks in the
home After a general cleaning day.
many a woman lies down too tired to
have an interest in anything. She
has mopped the floors, shaken the
rugs. busted the furniture in several
rooms, and perhaps added the finish
ing touches by cleaning one or two
windows. But her young daughter,
who has spent the entire day playing
tennis or exercising outdoors, is just
healthily fatigued, but not worn out"
What makes the difference?
Cleaning is physical exercise. But,
OF course it is not taken under the
Same conditions of good air and
specially comfortable garments The
daughter who played tennis had fiat
heeled shoes, short skirt or bloom
ers and was in the fresh, exhilarating
air. But the mother tried possibly to
econonize by wearing her uncomfort-
able. castoff best shoes a heavy cloth
skirt, and was indoors. Consequently
daughter was only moderately tired.
What are the reasons why clean
ing day is such bugbear?
Too many kinds of cleaning in
one day, as, washing windows, mop
ping floors, cleaning silver, and dust
Ing.
2. Too much attempted in one day,
/. e., to many rooms at time, work
which should have been distributed
over a longer period.
8. Waste effort and time from I'M
necessary handling Of tools; trotting
back and forth with buckets, brooms,
sweepers, ETC., owing to poor plan
ming of work
4. Use of the wrong tool, as, corn
broom on carpets in the house, thus
making greater amount Of dust to be
removed later.
5. Awkward positions-stretc

or wrong lengths on tools.

NO FASHION IN BEAUTY.

Fashions change. but the essentials
of life remain unchanged through
generations and centuries. SO it is
with beauty. The beauty of yester-
day IS the beauty OF tomorrow. A
woman may wear her hair in different
styles from time to time, but beauty
is pleasing to all ages For true
beauty is more than skin deep. 1t
depends en- the inner self. To culti-
waite the physical beauty and perfec-
ton that count one must cultivate
ideals-must make goodness and truth
a part of ones self.
In the rush and confusion Of this
busy age every woman should find
time to be alone, to think and dream
If such time is not found the rush and
turmoil Of events will stamp out her
Individuality, her better self. She will
die and the secret of beauty will GO
with them.
Five minutes alone every day Is
as necessary to the spiritual and men
tai life of woman as fresh air and
food are essential to her physical life
