Beauty Chats M By Edas Kent Fgzgss

o You hear from mems lips n '6'''-
- adays is. Isn't it fierce the
way young girls paint and POWDER
There is a large measure of jus
tice in the remark, too. though hap
PLY this particular phase OF over
abuse Of cosmetics is confined largely
to the big cities.
The ridiculous part of this prac-
tice on the part OF young girls is
that most of them don't need any ar
tificial aids TO beauty. There is a
freshness and glow Of youth in the
appearance Of girl of 16 or II that
makes beauty aids, in most cases, a
species Of painting the lily.
Girls should remember that a clear,
even II somewhat pale complexion, IS
far better than one which is unskill-
FULLY heightened by rouge and violet
powder One might find less reason
for warning youth against artifice il
girls knew more about how to use il.
but the ordinary girl who paints goes
forth made up as for the blaze OF
fOotlights.
I have. on some occasions, stated
that the use of rouge is not only per-
MISSILE but desirable. But this al
most never refers TO young girls.
When the years begin to tell and the
natural color fades and a woman has
many cares and responsibilities which
keep her from intensive beauty cuI-
ture. she may be justified sometimes
in Frightening her cheeks with color
from a box But the young girl
practically never has this excuse and
II she will exercise freely. cut down
on her diet of sweets and follow a
rationale program OF regular hours,
she won't be tempted to don war
paint I know it's a good deal to eN-
pect young girl to be quite as care
ful and wise as this suggests-but
il they could realize how effective
such ways Of living are TO beauty not
only today. but in the tomorrow OF
wOmanhoOd. they would do so.

PREDICTS WORLD FAMINE OF
MEAT AFTER THE WAR
Or gan Postlude.

LONDON, Aug. 18-Predietions Of
world famine of meat after the wal
were made recently by Viscount Lewis
Harcourt. He said the decrease of pas
ture land resulting from more eXtens-
i've cultivation would reduce the sup
Div of cattle, and the supply of home
Droduced meat would be further affect
ed by the decision of the war office tC
feed the army for three months or
home grown meat.
While at the Board of Trade last
year he obtained estimates of the Ger
man government that it would take
five years after the war to restore Ger
many's stock of cattle to the normal
figure of 100000 head,
He estimated that, after the war, Eu'
rope would want to obtain or impor'
10000 900 to 100000 head of cattle
For several years Germany would have
tc feed her people on import frozen OF
chilled meat and would come into a
market where she had never bough,
before. Further the men of the Allied
armies had been taught to eat pound
of meat day and one could not ex-
pect that they would abandon that
habit Immediately.
