BRITISH DECLARE
|. BAN ON COAL FOR
NEUTRAL VESSELS
Won't Guarantee Fuel Unless
Ships Garry Goods for
the Allies.

wASBiNGTON. Dec. 6. - Curtaii-
ment Of coaling privileges at British
ports Is threatening far-reaching ef-
fects on American shipping. and while
representations have been made TO
Great Britain by the State Depart
ment, It Is realized hero that II may
be difficult to obtain any loosening q
Of the constantly tightening restric-
tions.
Oficiais point out that tho right to
coal at foreign ports Is based almost
entirely on international comfy. and
that treaty pledges In the present In
stance are not OF nature To make
the case entirely clear.
Great Britain's inability to guaran-
tee bunker coal to any vessel not util-
izlng il "in such n way that British
or allied interests are benefited" wat
announced here in abatement by
the British Embassy in tho form OF q
memorandum drawn up in London.
The announcement Is the first pub
lie expression. officials say, OF policy
which has IN fact been In operation
for some time.
The effect OF this policy. oricials be-
lieve. will be seriously TO embarrass vi
Inde pendent American trace with non
allied countries. II Is asserted that
trade between this country and the
Philippines. for instance, can be con-
Quoted only under tho greatest dim.
culties. as Great Britain owns most o'
the coaling stations along the way
Trade to South America Is expected
to be crippled also. because most oil
the coaiing facilities in harbors there
are owned by the British.
Tho German submarine campaigns
are believed here to be largely respon-
sible for the new ruling. their in
roads on world shipping influencing
tho allies TO conserve their vessels ano
fuel. Not only Is there shortage OF
ships for the carrying trade. IL Is
said but desire TO hold as few ves-
sells as possible In carrying coal to
various stations about the world.

Have a Garden,

Begin now to think of that little
garden in the back yard, everybody
who has a back yard. Such a modest
enterprise has much to do to restore
the harmony of life. If you don't get
radish, tomato, bean or mess of
peas, you will get something greater
pure air, sunshine, exercise and COM
panionship with nature, which are
richer crop than all the truck in the
garden. 1t is a great thing to watch
things grow. They make a man
grow, too; add health and
strength to every part of his body;
give him a clean conscience; make
him love his wife and enjoy her
victuals. Tending a little garden
makes a good citizen out Of man;
gives him better thoughts; makes him
kindlier to his neighbors, and gives
gentler accent to his voice. And then,
If he should raise anything in the gar
den, how happy he is to gather it and
take it into the kitchen and lay it on
the table, saying to his wife: These
are some Of our own raising; amt
they fine?" That's life-grander than

HANDS REQUIRE MUCH CARE
Woman's Attracti~eness Depends a
Great Deal on Their Dainty and
Proper Appearance.

Beautiful hands are a sign of good
breeding, 1t is said, and certain it is
that no one who neglects her hands
can expect them to look well. Only
regular attention and steady care
bring forth any results in beautifying
the hands. The girl who works for
her living need not despair, however,
for if she will devote a few moments
each night to her hands they will look
almost as well as those of the lady of
leisure.
BE careful first of all as to how the
hands are washed-in tepid water is
the most satisfactory, for it is not toe
cold to remove the dirt and not too
hot to redden the flesh. Constantly
changing soap is very bad for the skin.
A good soap should be selected and be
used regularly without change. Be
sure that all the soap is off the hands,
then dry thoroughly, so that the flesh
is not left damp and moist.
Once a month is none too often to
go to a professional manicurist, but by
watching attentively how the work is
done you may be able to do your
manicuring at home the rest of the
time. The monthly visit will just
serve to keep the nails shaped rightly
if you do them yourself once or twice
week. Invest in a good nail file
some emery boards, cuticle scissors
a nail bleach, an orange stick, a pol
ish and some powdered pumice stone.

APPLY POWDERS WITH CARE
Much Harm May Be Done to the Skin
II Il Is Laid On Too Law
ishly.

Many women whose complexion is
blotchy, red and unclean looking, can
trace the source of their trouble to a
superabundance Of powder. Even the
best, purest powders on the market
will clog the skin pores, if applied too
heavily and often.
Powder was not meant to cover the
face so it looks as if the flour barrel
had been visited head first. 1t was in
tended as a means of removing the
shine from the skin. Is there any
thing a more disgusting sight than a
woman with her chin and nose white
with powder? 1t seems that the wom-
en- who affect the headlight powder
system" have the largest noses, the
homeliest chins. OF course, the pow
der only focuses attention on these
features.
The tint of the powder used must
depend on the coloring Of the user.
Blondes must use one color, brunettes
another, and according to the degree
of fairness or darkness. Also for eve
ming use there are certain shades of
powder which are much more becom-
ing than the tints most attractive in
the daylight

Canada as a whole has enjoyed won,

Taxes in Western Canada average $24

taxes on improvements.
When Western Canada was faced
with her enormous harvest last faIi
the military authorities decided that
soldiers in Canada could give the En-,
pire no better service for the tins
being than to assist In harvesting tbs
crops. For that reason leave OF alb
sence was given to soldiers who
wished to work in the harvest fields,
and their labor was an important fac
tor in harvesting the big crops success
fully.
The necessity for increasing the ag
ricultural production is commanding
even more attention in 1916. and It ls
now announced that soldiers in Can.
ada may obtain leave of absence from
their military duties in the spring for
a certain length Of time to erabla
them to plant the csed for the crops
In every Province of the Dominion.
The fact that the Government rec
ognizes the seeding and harvesting OF
Canada's crops as being Of the first
importance is perhaps the best eyi
dence that conscription or any In

will never be considered by the author
