lift. Raise your feet lightly and walk
with the fine spring and swing of
youth. This habit is one that will
have a marvellous reactionary effect
on your entire system.
Go back to Nature for your inspi-

cles sink into discouraging lines, but
take for your model the light sway

the flowers in the wind, or the light

open air. Don't let the lower part
of your face grow heavy. This adds
years to your apparent age. "Jowl-
like" cheeks and a loose-hanging
chin are justly dreaded by every
woman.
Try ironing the fallen muscles of
the chin and neck with piece of ice.
This brings the health-giving blood
to the surface and rejuvenates the
tissues in a most remarkable manner.
But you must be as vigilant as a pO-
liceman. Be always on the alert. Do
not shrug your shoulders indiffer-
emily and say half-heartedly, "Oh,
well, what's the usei l can't help it
anyway" You can help it, but you
must make up your mind to do so.
Then half the battle is won.
As many times a day as you can,
and at least every morning and even
ing, give your neck and chin their
stretching exercises. l, myself, have
found it very effective to retire with
a piece of soft cloth saturated In
witch hazel pressed about my neck
Witch hazel is an astringent and vii
draw the haecid skin tighter.
No matter how tired you are, do
not allow yourself to look tired. The
tired lines and the slipping down
ward muscles add an unmistakable
note of age. Control them. 1t can
be done by an exercise of the will.
Smile. Sometimes il is hard, but it
always pays because most women
look so much better when smiling,
and all, especially those who have
well-kept teeth, look younger.
And now, one other thing. You
must look carefully to the condition
of your feet. That is true Ii YOU
have worn shoes that give you silly
mincing gait, throw them away at
once and buy larger ones. In this
way you will acquire a free. natural

WASHINGTON. March % -
Frances confidence that the great
German offensive is wasting its
strength against the allied line is
voiced in an official dispatch re-

message quotes at length from to-

which has been going on for five
days. This confidence is based up
on all the experiences of this war

And that, I assure you, is the true

anything further than apply the

Everywhere the Germans have at

Garden Hints

The tiny green insects known as
the plant lice were very destructive
to crops in New Jersey last year
and at present they promice to repeat
their record this year. Outbreaks
have occurred in several places, es-
pecialy on vegetable crops, and may
do large amount of harm in short
time unless destroyed. Be on the look
out for them before they make toe
much Roadway Potatoes, tomatoes
and cabbage are the main vegetables
being attacked.
Tese insects are usually found or
the under sides of the plant by in,
serting their beaks through the rinc
and sucking out the sap. They dc
these lice so thoroughly with mix
ture eff nicotine. soap and water, that
every louise will be well wetted, viii
destroy them. The entomologist OF
the New Jersey Agricultural Expert
ment Station recommends the fol
lowing method of control. For 9
garden spray mix 2 teaspoonfuls OF
whale-oil Or laundery soap has beer
dissolved. Apply the mixture as
misty spray SO thoroughly that a
the lice will be we'll wetted.
Small compressed air sprayers OF
knapsack sprayers may be used effec
tivey for applications in small gar
den plots, but for field crops the APP
plications must be made by mower
machinery adapted to the particular
crop which is infested.
