The Women of France

The Frenchwoman is brought up
to- neglect none of the arts that at
tract men. Even in munition plants
the woman worker knows where the
mirror hangs, often has her powder
puff at hand, and gives unconscious
ly the deft touch to the hair. If it
has sometimes seemed to us that the
French wife overlooks too easily
the Inconsistencies of husband,
it is because we have failed to I'M
stand the French women are en-
pected to keep themselves so at
tractive to the mate after marriage
as we'll as before that he will not
want to wander over fields.
If it be asked what woman is
sufficient all through life for the
double duty of being a good wife
and good mother, name you
France, and add that French women
are in this regard the marvel of
their sex and the strongest bull
works of monogamy.
And all talk about the lower
birth rate in France is beside the
mark. The child is held so, precious
in the French mind that he usually
remains dream child till the right
conditions are in sight for his up
bringing. If allowance be made for
that fringe Of the unproductive
found in every land, it is doubtful
whether the birth rate among the
high minded and responsible is
lower over there than over here.
The Frenchwoman cannot be
summed up in a phrase. CONTRARY
to the general opinion, she is simple,
practical, sensible, tenacious, de-
liberate, cautious, far-sighted and
affectionate. She is sensitive but
not sentimental. She is talkative
but not superficial. She is ebullient
but enduring. She is a compound
of heart and head which explains
Joffre, Petain, Foch and the poilu
who have fought these four years
past our battle as we'll as'their own
and have been the surprise of every
friend as we'll as the evaporation
of the foe.

IT IS now no more trouble to remove
superfluous hairs, and no more danger,
than using a lotion on your face. This
is easily demonstrated by the use of sulfo
solution, few drops of which. after being
applied to the hairs, make the latter shrivel
up completely and come loose from the
skin, so that they can be wiped right off.
Its only action is to remove hairs, nothing
else. There is no more need to fear to ir-
rjtate the skin or cause an ugly red spot
where the hairs were removed, as is the
case with many of the powders and pastes
sold for the purpose. The problem of re-
moving superfhous hairs pleasantly and
easily is now solved by this method. The
sulfo solution can be secured at any drug
store. There is nothing to mix or get
ready.
MISS D. D.-A head-wash that dis
solves" the fatty accumulations, dandruff
and the scales that continually form on
the scalp is great exception among arti-
cles Of this kind. Mere lather will not COM
pletely remove the substance which form
a seal on the scalp, and which restrain
the full growth of the hair. Using the dis
solving method. therefore. shows splendid
results in the increased vigor and growing
power Of the hair. For this purpose you
should use teaspoonful of eggol in a cup
of water. This is marvellous scalp clean
er. The eggol can be obtained in original
packages for twenty-five cents, a quantity
sufficient to give you dozen or more
head-washes.
OLDISH-Here is a way to get rid of
wrinkles which is really remarkable. 1t gets
right at the very basis of the trouble. It's
action is to make the pores smaller ~ and
thereby give a much finer texture to The
skin. The result is that the pores and cell
tissues brace up, and naturally the
wrinkles vanish quickly. In this way a re-
markable difference in ones appearance can

results in vigorous, heavy growth. and it

half pint of water. The beta-quinol. which
can be secured at any drug store, is avery

PLAN REFORESTING| TO SUPPLY NEEDS

Haze1ton, Pa, May 15-Because the operators of anthracite coal mines need timber, an impetus has been given to the reforestation of the mountains and hills in the mining re- zion. The scarcity of lumber for mine pillars and other mine uses has led to the creation of a forestry depart ment~ by several of the large mining companies, one of which has just re forested Bear Creek watershed with 5000 white pine and 5000 Norway spruce trees. Thirty thousand more trees are in process of cultivation at Hauto, Pa, in the Panther Creek Valley.
 If timber is ready to cut in the vii cinity of the mines the troublesome waits and long hauls will be eliminat- ed. More timberland in the anthra- cite region would stop floods, add to the water supply, reduce the drought periods and enable the anthracite in dustry to add to its output This would be done through better protec- tion thus afforded to the stripping areas in mines which would add to the speeding-up ability. Many thou sands of acres are available about | the mines for reforestation.

LARGE FRUIT CROP IN SIGHT FOR CONNECTICUT, THOUGH FROST HAS
 KILLED BUDS AND MANY TREES

Working in cooperation with the Committee of Food Supply, State Council of Defense, the Connecticut Pomological Society has investigated the orchard situation in the State and as a result are making recommenda- tions to the fruit growers of Con- necticut asking them to make cer- tain that some suitable crop be pro- duced in cases where winter killing has destroyed the, peach crop. The report prepared by the Pomological Society is as follows:
 Although prospects for a large ap- pie crop seem good in Connecticut it is appearent that the cold weather has destroyed the fruit buds on the peaches and in some cases caused a killing of the trees.
 Peach trees that show effects of winter killing should be cut back and given early and frequent cul- tivation with some quick acting fer tilizer.,
 Because of the killing of the peach buds there will be no doubt many acres of unproductive orchard land unless food crops are planted between the trees. Realizing this fact the executive committee of the Connec- icut Pomological Society at a recent meeting voted to cooperate with the Committee of Food Supply of the State Council of Defense in order to induce the planting of vacant or chard land with crops that will con- contribute to the food supply. | It is suggested that crops be util- 1 ized for this purpose which will be produced after the bulk of the tree growth is completed and one that will not interfere with the proper ripening of the tree wood. Beans buckwheat, winter turnips and in ar 1 extreme emergency corn is reccom- mended for this purpose.
 1 For the growing of any of the crops mentioned, blow the orchard early and keep well narrowed unti the time for putting in the crop. Ii beans are to be grown the land should be lined. Plant the beans about the middle of June in rows from two and a half to three feet apart. Any of the standard varieties may be used such as the navy or pee bean, red kidney, Scofield pea or vel l low eye. Plant so that when thin
 ned they will stand about ten fnche. apart in the row with not more thar two beans to hill. Twenty to thir. ty quarts of seed will be required
 per acre. The soil should not be too
 rich in nitrogen and the beans should
 not be worked when the foliage i.
 wet. The bean straw is useful fol
 feeding and the land is left in goot
 condition for the orchard.

WINNING TOLUOL AND BENzOL
 FROM YOUR GAS TO HELP BEAT
 THE KAISER IN THE WORLD WAR

Another chemist states that the re- thermal units. These variations are based on experiences in plants manu- featuring gas from different sub stances and gas of different degrees of richness.
 Coincident with this service to the government, the chemists of the United States have undertaken to re- cover from the garbage waste in 29 of the nations largest cities, enough fats and grease to make the explosive charge for millions of shells.
 These cities, all of which maintain garbage disposal plants, are New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toledo, Detroit, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, h. dianapolis, Providence, Columbus, Rochester, Syracuse, Buffalo, Wash. mgton, Wilmington, Hartford, Los Angeles.
 The chemists estimate the present grease production in the garbage plants of these 29 cities as 72,000, 900 lbs. a year. From these 72,000, 900 lbs. of grease they estimate they can recover 10000 ,000 lbs of nitroglycer- inc, enough for the powder charge of about 16, 900, 900 of our 3 inch shells or the famous French 75 nm. shells Besides this the fatty acids in these 72,000, ,00O lbs. of grease will make 200, 900, 900 cakes f-12 ounce soap. From the 150,000 tons of garbage, as distinct from the grease, taken in at these plants annually, another l. 3O0, 900 lbs. of nitroglycerine can be recovered, enough for the power charge of 2,000,000 of inch shells. The fatty acids in this garbage will make 25,O0O, 900 cakes of 12 oz. cakes | of soap.
 From the garbage and the grease, the chemists hope to recover 172,500 tons of fertilizer tankage, containing | 10,25O,0 900 lbs of nitrogen, 25,500,0 900 lbs. of phosphates of lime and 2,35O,- 900 lbs. of potash, enough for the replacement of the elements removed from the soil by 100000 bushels of wheat.
 l What is the American chemist doing to help win the war? Who is doing more-or as much? These are only two of his modest achievements-he has his fingers in hundred war pies, some in the open, some where no eyes but his can ever penetrate. This is a war of chemists. When it is over it is the purpose of the American chemist to have it said that American chemistry did it's bit with wallop.

the first week of July. This crop re- quires little labor, is not hard on the land, and may be grown where the trees have reached a considerable size. About twenty-five pounds of buckwheat are required to seed an acre.
 Turn1ps or rutabagas are profitable where a considerable number of livestock are kept. Turnips should be sown late in June or early in July in order that the cultivation of the crop may keep the orchard in good growing condition. Plant in drills, 2S or 30 inches apart. Thin the plants to to inches apart. About two pounds of seed per acre will be required.
 A low growing variety of corn is sometimes used for orchard crop ping. If used in peach orchard. it should be planted far enough away from the trees to prevent an excess of shade or otherwise the trees will make a tall, slender growth. The crop should be removed early in order that rats and mice will not be attracted.
 A cover crop of rye may be sown after any of these crops in order to give winter protection to the soil. It Will not be so necessary in the case or DuckWheat since the stubbIe holds the ground fairly we'll. 1 we earnestly hope that all fruit growers will consider the matter of growing some food crop in their or | cnaros this summer. Not only that
 they may benefit themselves finan- clally but also may add materially to
 the total food production of the
 State.
