BEAUTY CHATS
Uses OF Talcum .
By EDNA KENT FORBES

ID. ]. WROTE ME q letter some time
ago, and in postscript asked me to
devote one Chat to the uses Of tai
cum powder. A week ago, Molly
wrote, and asked If talcum powder
would stop up the pores, and II a
lavish use Of It were harmful.
Pure talcum Is never harmful, and
is not apt to clog up the pores, at
least, to any great extent. 1t is used
for babies skins, and If doctors ad-
wise It for this, 1t surely cannot hurt
the tougher cuticle Of the grown
person.
As a general thing, + would not
advise talcum for the face, for the
powder which comes for this pur-
pose Is usually finer, and in conse-
quence less visible. But for the
neck, the armpits, the body, the feet,
talcum is always cool and re-
freshing.
Except for those whose skins ex-
ude unusually strong perspiration, a
dash Of talcum under the arms when
dressing, and over the feet or into
the shoes, is sufficient to hide all
traces Of sweetness. Shoes feel
more comfortable II talcum has been
poured over the feet before they are
put on, clothing viii not chafe the
skin, II it has been powdered first.
The incest way to use it is direct
ly after the morning bath, when the
neck and shoulders, arms and feet
the whole body, If you wish-are
lightly rubbed over with a large
powder pad, on which the talcum
has been sprinkled. In summer this
is particularly cooling and refresh.
ing, but now that autumn days are
here, so much talcum Is not
necessary.
A dainty idea is to adopt one spe-
cial perfume, and have face and tai
cum powder, extract and toilet
water, all Of this. Perfume must be
very delicate these days, the light
sprfnkling Of the talcum gives Just
enough fragrance to be pleasant.

HOOVER MAKES ANOTHER
PLEA TO SAVE WHEAT

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 20
In strong plea for the elimination
Of all waste of wheat and wheat flour
and for more strict economy in their
use Herbert C. Hoover, administrator
of food control, declared last night
that the United States and the Allies
face the danger Of defeat for the lack
of a hundred million bushels CT wheat.
Having pointed out the menace that
confronts the nations and the Allied
powers he then appealed for greater
conservatism in the use of wheat
flour. This appeal he directed to
every man, woman and child in the
land. It is possible, he said, for
every person in the United States
to save several pounds of flour each
week, or at least it can be saved for
them. This is what must be done he
insists, and this is what he urged up
on his hearers to practise and preach
at all seasons.

ties. or be able to retire from bust
ness when We are in our sixties;
whether we'd rather go to all sorts Of
little foolish shows and parties when
We are young or to go around the
world when we are middle aged.
One thing is certain, we can't eat
our cake when we are young and still
have it when We are old. II we spend
every cent as We go along no miracle
makes it grow into a competence for
our age. And age comes. It's the one
certain thing in an uncertain world,
and it is Up to every young couple
who are starting out In life to
decide for themselves whether it is
to be fat and comfortable or lean and
hungry.
"Of course it seems that on one but
a fool could fail to realize the wisdom
OF practising thrift in their youth in
order to be happy when they are old,
Youth is such a joy of itself that it
needs no gliding. When ones figure
is lissome and willowy, and ones
cheeks are roses, and ones eyes are
diamonds, one doesn't need fine
clothes to set off ones beauty, but
when one is old and gray headed and
fat, one needs all arts and articles Of
the best tailor and dressmaker When
the blood races through ones veins,
and Just living is a delight in itself,
one needs nothing to add to the inter
ests Of existence, but when one grows
old one needs travel and change, new
sights, new people, new ideas to slim
ulate ones thoughts.
That is why I wished that every
young married couple could see. my
gray headed old globe trotters, who
were having such good time collect
ing dividends on the thrift they had
practised in their youth. 1t might
stimulate them to 60 and do likewise"

500 WOMENOF
CITY HEED TO
HOOVERSC CALL

Fully 500 Honolulu women have res
pended to the call of the food admins
tration bureau and signed pledge
cards agreeing to help in the national
movement to conserve the food of the
nation. This u is the movement in
which it is hoped by Food Admins
traitor Herbert Hoover to secure the
pledges of 100000 women in the
United States
The cards for local signatures were
only distributed last Saturday. Post
master H. d. MacAdam thinks that the
Honolulu women have made a very
creditable showing for the first week,
but wants to urge those who have not
yet signed to do so. He believes that
an effort to conserve the food import
ed here should be undertaken. ~
Besides the cards which were signed
in Honolulu and returned to the post
master are the pledges which have
been secured by outside postmasters.
In addition to this there Is also be.
lieved to have been many pledge cards
sent direct to Washington to the food
administration, bureau with 10 cents
inclosed for the insignia Of the bu.
reau.
The Honolulu postmaster has order
ed $500 window placards, which show
membership in the national move
ment for distribution here among the
women. who sign the cards. He ex-
poets to receive these, for distribution
early in September.

SENATOR CASTLE
GIVES VIEWS ON
WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Thinks Bill Now Before Con-
gress Provides for PIebiscite
to Determine Question

That the bill relating to woman
suffrage for Hawaii, as introduced IN
congress recently, allows the legis
lature of the territory to call a plebis
cite on the question, or else empowers
the legislature to allow the women
to vote on the same terms as the
men, is the opinion Of Senator A. l.
Castle.
BY the same terms as the men,
mean that the women given the vote
shall be citizens 81 years Of age, y
says Senator Castle. Naturally, un'
der the Republican pledge, was in
favor of woman suffrage and if the
legislature had seen fit to follow the
lead of the senate, this queSteSn
might have been settled by now.
THE senate proposed that We me-
morialize congress requesting a
change in the organic act allowing
women to vote on the same terms as
the men. This was clear-cut propo-
sition but was beaten by the house Of
representatives, which insisted on
some such proposition as has gone be-
fore congress. Rather than whipsaw
the whole subject, the senate, after
the defeat of its bill, Endorsed the
congressional bill.
The bill in congress really has
the effect of postponing woman SUI
frage, although it is Of course better
than nothing. Under this bill the
next legislature, in 1919, may have
a plebiscite on the subject, This could
have been done by the last legisla-
ture, and the result submitted to con-
gress for action, the vote being an
expression Of opinion by the people
of Hawaii
However, the same people who
killed the senate plebiscite bill on
prohibition, If consistent, would have
voted against a plebiscite on woman
suffrage on the flimsy theory that this
legislature cannot call plebisCite.
If the congressional bill is passed
retaining a clause allowing the legis-
lature to act on the question without
a plebiscite, then woman suffrage un-
questionably would pass at the next
legislature.
There are many who would want
to further prolong the question and
would talk about plebiscite to learn
the will of the people, but if both par
ties are clear in their planks on this
subject, the matter should be dis
posed of satisfactorily to the women"

FROM HEREFOR
REDCROSS WORK

In line with the general policy that
the funds Of the Red Cross are always
open to the scrutiny Of the public, the
War Relief Committee will at the end
Of each week publish a list showing
the donors and the amount of cash
received during that week. Pledges
may have come in also, but these
amounts will only appear when &C
tually collected. If, for any reason,
the donor does not desire his name
published, it will be given as
Friend" if he so desires or so in
structs the committee.
Subscriptions to the Hawaiian AL
lied War Relief should, now that the
body has combined with the War Re-
lief Committee, be paid in direct to
the War Relief Committee. This COM
mittee will in turn see that sufficient
funds are paid over to the ladies for
the continuation of their work. This
does not mean that the ladies sub
scribing should now cease their do
nation, but rather that more should
be paid in so that the work may be
enlarged" says Treasurer A. L.
Castle.
The larger part of the monthly
receipts will be paid in to the Red
Cross War Fund, William G. Nc
Adoo, Treasurer This war fund
will be administered by the war coun-
ell appointed by the president of the
United States, consisting of Henry
P. Dawson, chairman, Cornelius N.
Bliss, Jr., Edward N. Hurley. Gray
son NJ. P. Murphy, Charles D. Nor
ton, William H. Taft and Eliot Wads-
worth. The personnel of this COM
mittee is of itself a sufficient guar
antee that the moneys will be hon
estly and efficiently administered.
Mr.. Dawson, who has been released
by ]. P. Morgan & Co. for the period
of the war, is an expert financier,
and no finer or better man could be
appointed for the difficult task Of
spending efficiently the hundreds of
millions of dollars that will be neces-
sary to carry on Red Cross work
throughout the United States and
Europe in connection with the war.
1t was he who proposed and success
fully financed the recent $4,000 900
subscribed for the Red Cross. Peo-
pie of Hawaii can thus be assured
that their money will be spent where
