MOSCOW WOMEN GOING MAD AND
 COMMITTING SUICIDE

Conditions in Russia are described as so critical that many women are ending their own lives or becoming insane, because of lack of work and the fact that they face famine.
 T know of two girls, friends of our friends, who committed suicide and two of the best-known young people in Russia a man and a girl, have gone crazy in the last two days" writes Miss Elizabeth Boies, war worker of the Y. W. c. A. in Mos COW. ''The schools are closed and the university, too. How people continue to live do not see, for there is a constant decrease in work and even in their terrible distress these people have not yet come to the point where they throw down their pride and do anything.
 More places are shut up this week than last. I am going out to see some poor neigh bors tomorrow with one of our committee women. I have taken in temporarily a nurse, who dropped on our doorstep the other night without a place to sleep and no friends to go to. She has worked four years in the war and was wound ed three time, the last time while working on an ambulance in the Oc- tober revolution. We are trying to find her a job, but it almost can not be done. No one wants to take an- other person into the family because it means another mouth to feed. Everyone is doing without a servant instead of having several.
 "The small amount of poor bread that we can get is grabbed up by our girls-they are so hungry. I notice in the class that is out of work how the girls are running down physical ly. They are thinner and older and look pinched. Even our committee members are ageing perceptibly. The mental suffering that many persons are undergoing is terrible
 Miss Boes is from Cincinnati. Ohio.
 After graduating from Smith Col lege she took postgraduate courses at the University of Chicago and Colum- bia University. She had charge of the Y. W. c. A. clubhouse at the Pan anna. Pacific Exposition and was on duty on the Mexican border in 1916

the world, his pride and sense of part nership in the business make irnme- diate response.
 The function of the American Negro in the education of his native broth CT is partly, at least, to bridge the gap between the African. and the white races. The chance is given him to play potent part in the transforma- tion of the tribes. The African is looking to him for help. It can not be doubted that the energy and am- bition' of the American Negro, hith- erto at disadvantage in this country for obvious reasons, will spend them selves largely in this new tremendous | field of service thrust upon him by the war.

in the Washington war frantwould leave

the general public conception Of six
lmonths ago. are good and the prospects
Of future achievement are much better
than the achievements up to date.
On the other hand, our condition, 40
related to the actual needs Of this war,
indicates that we must have much big
ger improvement in the next six months
than we have had in the last six.

TWO KINDS OF CANTEENS FOR
SOLDIERS IN FRANCE.

There IRE two distinct phases of Red
Cross relief work for soldiers on duty n
France One is the operation of "rol-
ling" canteens and the maintaining Of
| stationary canteens back of the fighting
line.
A most daring, yet essential work IS
that of operating rolling canteens.
Often soldier leaves the trench utterly
exhausted. These rolling canteens 20
right down to the communicating trench
es where the soldiers passing in and out
receive their quarts" full of steaming
bullion or soffee in winter and cold
drinks in summer.
At junction points on French railways,
troops going on leave from the battle
front often have to wait hours for trains.
Since there probably are not more than
half dozen important functions and an
average of 10000 men pass daily, only
q small fraction of them could be housed
Formerly thousands had to sleep in the
open, often in the rain. These men come
from the fighting zone tired, hungry and
infected. 1t is for such as these that the
Red Cross conducts its stationary can
teens where a hot meal may be had. Hot
baths are also offered, clothes may te
cleaned and sterilized and the men sent
on their way refreshed in body and
spirit.

MEN.

Il has been authoritatively stated thai
on June first we had a little more than
two million men under arms, that more
than half million were then in France
and that another million were sufficiently
trained TO 20 as fast as transport can
be had to carry them. At present inii-
cations at least million and half
Americans should be in France by jan
nary 1. 1919.
At present a German division has about
1900 men. Ours are larger, but taking
the German as basis of estimate. a half
million would make about Al divisions.
But Of the men we have in France a great
number must be auxiliary troops, used
for engineering transportation, air serv-
ice, etc. etc.
It seems impossible for Germany to
get any help from Turkey, but soldiers
from Bulgaria might appear in Italy or
In France.
To be certain, therefore, of meeting
every possible German accretion with
superiority we must work upon a tre-
mendous scale. To make that superior
ity sufficient to be certain of victory next
year we should need nearer four million
men in France next spring than two mil

ETIQUETTE

When walking with a lady gentle man should keep to the side of the walk next to the curb. To do this he may often have to change sides, which he may do by stepping behind the lady to her other side.
 Reader-When a young man is in- troduced to a young woman, it is un- necessary for her to rise in acknowl- ing the introduction. It is sufficient to repeat his name and bow cour- teously. When a gentleman asks to make an engagement with a young lady, it is only necessary for her to express her willingness, in case she wishes his attentions. It is his place to thank her. A gentleman will not lay his arm across the back of the chair occupied by the lady in his company but in case it happens, she may lay it to carelessness and not take it as serious indication of dis respect to her

vous shock has suddenly turned the hair white. The moment young woman notices a gray hair here and there, she should apply to the scalp tonics that contain nourishing oils.
 Castor oil or crude oil rubbed into the scalp will help to make the hair healthy. Don't use enough of these oils to cause the hair to appear greasy. Dip the tip of your finger in the oil and apply it to the scalp, rubbing it in well so none is absorbed by the hair itself. This should be done twice or three times a week.
 Each night brush the hair for at least 20 minutes, and massage the scalp until the circulation is well stimulated. Then apply a good hair tonic. If the hair is dry and lustBe- less, the following remedy is excel lent:

NEW FOOD HABITS.

That the campaign of conservation and elimination necessitated by the war is teaching the people of this country new food habits which are an improvement upon our former menus is the belief of Mildred Maddocks, domestic science expert and director of Good Housekeeping Institute. She interprets several of the recommenda- tions of the Food Administration as follows:
 You are asked to substitute other cereals for wheat. In selecting them choose corn preparations, toasted, fiaked, grits, hominey, samp, corn meal and hulled corn. Use rice either puffed, brown or plain. Use barley f1aked or cracked and all the forms of oatmeals and rolled oats.
 "In selecting meat, buy enough for the ample nourishment of your fam Iy. Do not attempt a vegetarian plan with growing children, although fo1 adults it will prove safe enough Foods that have real meat value, and that may be substituted to a large extent for meat, are eggs, cheese milk, beans, soy beans, peas, fish anG cereals"

 Cologne ........--- .8 ounces
 Tincture of cantharides. Il ounce
 Oil of lavender. ------ R.. dram Oil of rosemary. .........- F dram Massage Often Helps.
 If women would give the hair prop CT attention while they're young, ad-! vancing age wouldn't leave its mark so soon. You nourish every other part of your body, but neglect your hair. It requires food and stimulantsi and air to keep it in healthy con- dition, and if it has plenty of these three, it wqp't turn gray until you've reached an age when gray hair nat urally crowns the dignity of years.
 The right way to massage the scalp is to place the finger tips of both hands solidly against the skull, and to move the scalp around with firm massage movement. This will cause, the blood to circulate freely and bring nourishment to the roots of the hair. The scalp should be massaged 15 to 20 minutes each day. It's a waste of time simply to move the fingers through the hair and over the surface of the scalp, as I've seen so many women do.
