FEWER GLOVE STYLES.

Manufacturers of light leather gloves and mittens will adopt con- servation program to prevent the un- necessary use of material and capital in the industry, the war industries board announced. Many styles are to be eliminated, colore will be restricted and the length of gloves limited.
 The schedule has been worked out by the conservation division of the war industries board with representa- tives of the manufacturers and Is for all gloves, the mittens or combination gloves or mittens made of light leath- CT and other materials in which more than 25 per cent. of the material used is light leather. It will apply to all gloves and mittens manufactured for the 1919 spring and fall seasons.
 Manufacturers, however, may cut gloves to correct stock or to fill orders now booked. It is understood no or ders should be taken contrary to the provision of the schedule except to use up materials already on hand, finished or in the present process of manufacture. The cutting of such stock should be discontinued after February I5 next, but it is expected that so far as possible manufacturers will adjust at once their business to the new schedule.

PRINCESS TARRAKANOFF.

Princess Tarrakanoff was the daughter of Empress Elizabeth of Russia and Alexis Rozotmoffski
 whom the empress had secretly mar ried. She was carried away at the age of twelve by Prince Radzivil, and concealed in a convent in Rome This step was taken by the dissatisfied mo- ble to curb the ambition of Catherine, who then ruled. But it failed, and her favorite, Alexis Orloff, himself pretending great discontent against the government of Catherine, prevail ed upon the princess, in the absence of Radzivil, to marry him, return to Russia and excite a new insurrection. The young and unsuspecting princess had no sooner placed herself in his power, than she was seized while on board ship in the bay of Leghorn. She was bound in chains and carried to St. Petersburg. In December, 1777 violent rising of the river Neva suddenly forced the waters into her prison cell and she was drowned be- fore assistance could reach her.

The Wrong Way and the Right Way to Sweep

me illustrate by some specific direc tions for sweeping in a position which develops grace instead of fiat chest and stopping shoulders.
 Move the body in a swaying posi- ton from left to right, instead of talk ing short, jerky steps.
 Let the left leg bear the weight on the ball of the foot Incline the head toward the left leg, but keep the trunk thrown sightliy backward. This will hollow the back of the waistine and thus raise the chest
 Repeat with the right leg, bearing the weight, head inclined toward it, then throw the trunk forward. This will give the graceful, swaying move ment that provides the gentle exericse needed.
 Then reverse and sweep to the right
 In sweeping, exert the muscles of the arms-never the muscles of the waist.
 There should be free play of the arms, which must be relaxed and not feel taut from the shoulders. Try this method of sweeping and see whether you don't feel more pleasant toward the work as well as keeping graceful while doing it.

HEARINGS HORs ToEUyRE.

Remove skin from four pickled fat female herrings, then soak them in cold water over night. Drain, split open through stomach, remove roes, place them in small bowl with enough fresh cold milk to cover them. Cut off heads, split the four herrings in two, remove spinal bones, then cut each half in two diagonally, lightly wash with little white vinegar. Cut two medium white onions in thin rings, place them at the bottom of a hors d'oeuvre dish, arrange the hel- ring filets on top, keep in a cold place until required. Drain roes from milt, finely chop, place in a bowl Add half teaspoon each chopped chives and parsley, one saltspoon cayenne pepper, half saltspoon grated nutmeg. Mix well, then pour in one tablespoon each white wine vinegar and thick cream. Thoroughly mix again for one minute, spread prepared roes over herrings, garnish with sliced (thin) lemon and serve.

attitude. If you approach the work with distaste, permit yourself to frown, get into awkward, stopping po sitions, let your shoulders droop and your whole body sag, of course it will show in unlovely ways. But that isn't necessary.
 If you approach the work with joy or interest you will quite naturally as- sume an erect position breathe deeply and keep a cheerful mien and unruf- fled brow while at work. This is the first essential. Then you can learn how to do the various physical tasks in graceful instead of an awkward position. That doesn't always come naturally.
 Methods of housework are some times acquired by watching more eX- perienced housekeepers who work ac- cording to their traditions-sometimes wrong ones. Or it may be necessary to purchase some of the small labor saving devices that save you from stopping or stretching in awkward po- sitions.

BIRTHDAY OF THE
 DIVINE SARAH


 Today Is the birthday of Sarah Bernhardt, who was born in Paris 73 years ago today, Oct. 22, 1S45. The Divine Sarah" despite her age, still shows traces of the fire and tempera- ment which gained her the homage of the world when she was the worlds leading actress. She gave another proof of the strength of her character when, a few years ago, she consented to the removal of one of her legs fol- lowing an attack of blood poisoning Mime. Bernhardt is now living in America. She has lived through two invasions of her country by the Ger. mans, for whom she has the bitterest hatred. She has appeared upon the stages of every country in the world, except Germany
 Mime. Bernhardt's mother was a Jewess and her father a Frenchman, who held petty government office. She was educated in convent, and at IS made her debut at the Comedie Francaise. The great French actress has "died" so many times on the stage that, according to her own de- claration, death has NO terrors for her It is therefore small wonder that she keeps coffin in her house, and has built tomb, partly with her own hands.
 Despite the glories of her career, Mime. Bernhardt asserts that her greatest joys have come from moth- erhood, and grand-motherhood and Prpa t-era nd herhood

sTANDARDIzING STYLES.

 Every few years there Is a change of fad in regard to shoes. At one period pointed toes are the rage, and then there is a reactions to broad. common sense toe6 These changes involve very heavy expenses for new lasts and patterns, which are all add ed to the price the consumer has to pay.
 If the public would only be be con- tent to buy the same standard de- signs year after year, 1t would be much less costly to produce shoes. Even if the government should not in- sist upon this, 1t would seem that the manufacturers of shoes might get to- gether and arrange 1t. as a matter of public spirit and national thrift and efficiency.

AMERICAN WOMEN LEAD
 THE WORLD
They Have Beauty, Health
 apd Brains

"A really beautiful woman is al- ways a healthy woman" remarked one of our noted beauty specialists, flor true beauty comes from the blood and strong, steady nerves"
 Rich, red blood, the fountain of life and youth, shows itself in a clear rosy skin, solid flesh, fine form and keen bright mind. Red blooded women, with strong nervous vitality, are sought after by men; they are the hope and leaders of the world.
 American women lead the world in health, beauty and intelligence, and their number is increasing. They have learned the value of Iron and Phosphates in keping them. in perfect condition.
 ''The number of weak, pale, Jagged out, run down and nervous women is bound to decrease rapidly, once the power of Phosphated Iron becomes more generally known" said a leading doctor. There is not a reason in the world why women should not be strong, happy and a joy to look upon when the remedy is at hand.
 "Phosphated Iron has accomplished wonders with my patients. It has restored health, vitality, strong nerves and happiness to whole famt- lies. It's the healthy, red, iron blood ed, strong, rhosphate-fed nerved men and women that enjoy life and lead in every work" Think 1t over!
 To insure doctors and their na- tients getting the genuine Phosphated Iron we have put in capsules only. SD do not allow dealers to substitute nils Or tablets. Insist on capsules. Hin dle's drug stores and dealing druggists everywhere,-Adv,

movement is graceful-and sometimes. grace means efficiency as well.
 Sweeping the floor in stopping, strained position isn't necessary and it is ugly. Indeed. when done correctly, sweeping will give the same amount of benefit that can be received from standard gymnastics.
 Stretching and beating rugs are also inclusive of favorable exercise if rightly done.
 Don't lift with the muscles of the waist, however. That is incorrect and ungraceful. Work with the muscles of the arms, and it will help develop those muscles as well as the chest, Let

What You Can Do To Make Your HOuSeWOrk a Beauty Aid

T do my own housewo ork, therefore l have no time to keep myself pretty and youthful looking" is a complaint by no means uncommon.
 Many women seem to take it for granted that housework necessarily makes one graceless and coarsened. But don't believe this to be true. 1 have seen too many women of beauty who not only performed regular household tasks but who actually en- joyed them and found that they lost no whit of their personal beauty.
 The secret of making homework a beautif1er instead of an "ugIifier" lies chiefly, I believe, in ones own mental
