POPULAR MEDICINE
BY DR.. HIRSHBERG
Intelligent Observation of Rules
of Hygiene Will De-
crease Illness.
BY DIR. LEONARD X. HIRsHBERG.

BT DIR. LEONARD N. HlhSHbEhO'
A few years sEo, before the damage
which appeared in after years was re-
allied, there was a furore among a
certain class of men and women for
injections of paraffin," wax and
other non-living "strfhngs" under the
skin.
The cosmetic objects of such a pro-
cedure was to fill out saddle noses,
sunken cheeks, hollow necks and
other shallow places in the anatomy
of those persons whose outward ap-
pearance was not just what they
wished dt to be. This operation, un-
fortunately, in many cases, resulted
in scars, tumors, growths and other
marrIng effects, which left the mis-
guided victim "never looking the
same again." So serious was the dam
age from paraffn injections that in
one case the victim is said to have
developed cancer.
Surgical science, however, has now
developed a more reasonable and In
telligible plan for correcting such de-
formities. DR.. Duncan Lewis is the
surgeon who says: THE use OF fat
or facial transportation in arthro-
plastics has had its value demonstrat-
ed" In understandable English this
means that DR.. Lewis Is willing to
operate and transfer a too pendulous
abdomen or other excess baggage of
adipose tissue from your belt to your
neck IL need be.
Can Graft Fat.
Fat taken from any portion Of the
body will live and evidently resume
its vitality If grated under a hollow
collarbone or elsewhere.
While certain changes occur which
lead to the absorption or liberation
of fat droplets, nests of other tissues
are found which indicate definite
growth changes in the transferred
lump of fat.
If the surgeon wishes to build up
a saddle nose or a hollow cheek he
must insert under the affected area a
much larger amount of the trans
planted fatty tissue than he will sub
sequently need. This is because some
of it will atrophy before the graft re-
sumes its normal growth.
DR.. Lewis says that the possibility
of transplanting large tmasses OF fat
widens considerably the field OF plas
tic surgery. One Swiss surgeon has
successfully transplsnted a fatty tu
mora harmless type of tumor-tc
replace a breast which had to be re
moved for vital reasons.
Can FIJI Out DepressIOns.
DR.. Neuber, an Austrian, has fol-
lowed the method and has reported
that he has transplanted fat in large
pieces under the skin to raise de-
pressed scars. A deep cash over the
eyebrow and one from tuberculosis
OF the bone-healed years before
were made smooth and even by sub
cutaneous graft of fat.
DR.. Tuffier, the great Partisan sur
geon, now uses fat transplants to fill
out the skin after amputations of the
hands, legs, or arms. DIR. Bier, in a
patient whose face had been par
aIyzed on one side for such a long
time that ii looked half the size OF
the other side, inserted strips of fat
beneath 1t and made the sufferer ap
pear once more with a symmetrical
face.
Much, of course, remains to be de
veloped in this new kind of cosmetic
surgery, but a start has been made,

FINE ART EXHIBIT
Mrs. Robert w. Coppedge's Work on
Display in Topeka.

The collection of twenty landscapes
done in oil by Mrs. Robert w. Cop
pedge, of Topeka, and now on exhibit
ton at the Topeka Art Guild, is very
deserving of the marked attention It
IS receiving.
Mrs Coppedge recently returned
from the east where she spent last
summer in the neighborhood Of
Gloucester, Mass, and the fall and
winter in that picturesque part of
Pennsylvania adjacent to Philadelphia.
Among these pictures is the one of
Gloucester Fish Market which won a
prize at the thirteenth annual com
petitive are exhibition held last No
vember in the art gallery of Wanna
makers store at Philadelphia, and
which was reproduced in the Deem
Der number of the International
Studio.
Mrs Coppedge is an interchangeable
worke; as the number and excellences
of her canvases clearly show. She
delights in a riot of brilliant color,
and strong effects of sunshine, her
atmosphere and distance are good, and
her pictures very truthfully portray
the scenic beauties of the l ca1ities in
which they were painted
Perhaps the most attractive of these
pictures are: "Village Road in Win
ter" "Choppy Weather" Home of An
Old Sea Captain" Autumn on Darby
Creek" and Gloucester Fish Market .
The exhibition will continue until

Y. M. CAMPAIGN WINS
Despite War Cloud. Workers Make Up
$4,000 Fund.

After two weeks of strenuous work.
the Y. M. C. A. workers have made
a success of the big $4,000 campaign.
When the workers congregated at the
Y. NJ. C. A Monday night for their
final report they found themselves still
$3.50 from the goal. Further work,
they believed, would exact too many
hardships SO it was proposed that the
workers underwrite themselves for va
rious sums and thus make up the de-
ficit.
AS the matter stands at present, the
workers have pledged themselves to
pay various parts of the $2.660. How
ever. it is believed Topekans may be
induced to pay their pledges. Even
then it was discovered they were $25
short
E. V. King proposed that the work
ers pay so cents each for the dinner
they had enjoyed. Half dollars began
falling in front of E L. Copeland,
chairman of the association. the same
as they are tossed to a baseball player
who has made a home run when the
score stood to in the ninth inning.
Division commanders lauded the
workers and captains of the teams.
The war clouds and general high cost
of living made the campaign one of
the hardest in history.

A CREAMY LOTION
MADE WITH LEMONS
Prepare quarter pint at about
the cost of small jar Of
common cold cream.

When this homemade lemon lotion
is gently massaged into the face, neck
hands and arms daily, the skin natur-
ally should become soft, clear and
white, and the complexion dainty and
attractive.
What girl or woman hasn't heard
of lemon juice to remove complexion
blemishes; to bleach the skin and to
bring out the roses, the freshness and
the hidden beauty? But lemon juice
alone is acid, therefore irritating, and
should be mixed with orchard white
this way. Strain through a fine cloth
the juice of two fresh lemons into a
bottle containing about three ounces
of orchard white, then shake well and
you have a whole quarter pint of skin
and complexion lotion at about the
cost one usually pays for small jar
of ordinary cold cream. Be sure to
strain the lemon juice so no pulp gets
into the bottle, then this lotion will
remain pure and fresh for months.
When applied daily to the face, neck.
arms and hands it naturally should
help to whiten, clear, smoother and
beautify.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at very little
cost and the grocer has the lemons.
In this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion
ladies can easily prepare and have an
inexpensive toilet aid which perfectly
satisfies their natural desire for a
beautiful soft skin.-Adv.

FODDER FOR GUNS
That's German Prisoners De-
scriptiOn of Kaiser's Soldiers.
Leaders ExhOrt Troops With
Spread Eagle OratOry.

British Headquarters in France,
May 1 (From a staff correspondent
of the Associated Press. )-There are
increasing evidences daily of how the
German higher command is using the
name of Field Marshal Won linden
burg in an effort to sustain the morale
of the German fighting men, which
was lowered by the retreat from the
Somme and the successful launching
of the British and French offensive
actions. Prisoners recently taken,
also, tell how Won Hindenburg con-
tinues to be held up to the German
population as a whole as the man IN
whom it must repose confidence and
hope of final victory. The recent re-
treat was explained by the desire OF
the German command to take up a
position in the famous Hindenburg
line and prisoners now say that when
il becomes known in Germany that
the British have turned this position
and taken possession of several miles
of it southeast of ArraS great de-
preston will be caused

Civilians, as we'll as soldiers placed
great faith in this line, on which they
say millions upon millions of marks
have been spent They had been told
the line was so invulnerable that the
Germans could sit in it for the re-
mainder of the war. The German
class of 1919, it is learned, is being
called up but is still in training
One old German soldier, taken pris-
oner Saturday was asked if he thought
the boys of this class were too young
to make soldiers. mo, they are just
as good an age as any other for can
non fodder and that's all we know"
he replied adding that if the British
fire continues it's present intensity the
Germans would have to fall back
again.
All the German commanders seem
impressed with the necessity of con-
tinuously exhorting their men to make
further efforts. An order of one of
the army commanders, General Won
Schubert, recently found, has many
striking phrases, among them the fol-
lowing:
Strike for Affairs.
Soldiers, look around you The
destruction of towns, fields and plains
which you see threatens our fatherland
and that, to a still greater degree, if
we do not conquer. We are fighting
for hearth and home here as much as
if we were keeping our watch on the
Rhine.
1T is our duty to keep that which
has been bought with the blood of so
many of our brave comrades. Meet
all attacks against you with German
fortitude. Be as hard as STEEL as your
emperor expects you to be. 1t is our
will to conquer and we shall conquer
because we must conquer"

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair. be care
full what you use. Most soaps and pre-
pared shampoos contain too much
alkai, which is very injurious, as it
dries the scalp and makes the hair
brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil. for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store, and
a few ounces will last the whole family
for months
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. It makes an album
dance of rich, creamy Iather, cleanses
thoroughly. and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and is
soft. fresh looking. bright, fluffy. -wavy
and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens
and takes out every particle of dust,

BEANS A GARDEN CROP
X. S. A. c. Professor Says They Don't
Pay on Big Scale in Kansas.

Manhattan, Kan, May beans
are a garden vegetable rather than a
field crop for Kansas, points out DR..
William NJ. Jardine. chairman of the
agricultural production committee of
the state council of defense.
Beans are not a dependable crop
to grCby on a field scale in Kansas"
said Doctor Jardine. String beans
as a garden vegetable or a few shell
beans for home use should be grown
by every family, but the production of
these crops on a field scale should not
be attempted as our climate is not well
adapted to their growth. We have
grown beans of the Mexican or pinto
variety for the last five or six years in
cooperative tests with farmers, and
they have never made any money eX-
cept in rather favorable years."
