"A Woman Gives Out
important Secrets

Nadlne Langford, well known beauty
specialist, in recent interview told tho
secrets Of her success in improving the COM
plexion. She says: The average man has
better complexion than woman Of same age
men use lots Of soap and water in shaw
ing and the massaging necessary prevents
wrinkles, etc. Women are too apt to de-
pend on casual washing with cold water
then try to cover up defects with powder
and rouge and this makes the complexion
worse. She must give the skin careful
attention at night--sleeping with powder,
dust and CRIME of the day on the face will
soon coarsen the finest skin and cause
various complexion troubles. Use soft
wash cloth, rubbed on Velvetina Complexion
Soap and warm water, and after cleansing
the soft, oily Velvetina Massage, using
IN upward and outward movement with the
finger tips, working ont impurities from
the pores Of the skin. This treatment soon
produces marvellous results. Then in the
morning, apply Velvetina Vanishing Cream
and Velvetina Face Powder to protect the
delicate surface Of the skin from the sun
and wind and this gives the whole secret
Of . perfect complexion for women. ADJ.

House to House-French Win.

With the French Army in France.
April 18.-The hardest fighting OF
the present battle south of the river

around Hangard- -Santerre since
March 21.
British and French have been en-
gagged side by side in defending this
highly important and strategic posi-

Amiens. Several times it has been
wrested from them only to be re-
taken in heroic counter attack.
On the fourth, ninth and 18th of
April the streets OF Hangard were
the scenes OF horrible carnage both
night and day, when the enemy was
driven from house to house before
the French battalions. On the latter
date when the latest attack was de-
livered by the French one Of their
battalions was surrounded in the
overwhelming German advance.
The major commanding entrench.
ed himself in the ruins of a castle
from which he held the enemy in
check for more than 10 hours
meanwhile signalling repeatedly foI
help and asking his comrades tt
hasten. The major was captured bu,
shortly afterward other French
troops with a British battalion ar
rived and after a terrific onslaught
on the blazing castle they rescued
the survivors and took a, hundred
German prisoners, but the majoi

With the gold-headed cane under
your arm
You, lingering your diamond scarft

With hand white and soft as a

Say, you! look this way,
I'm talking to you.
Have you nothing to do but wear

Don't you care for anything but wo-

For Gods sake, wake up! Wake up!
Wake up,
This is no time to loaf.
The world is wild for men to serve
Many of your friends have gone.
Why not you?
You say you are ready,
But they haven't drawn your mum,
ber yet?
Oh!-But I can't tell you what l
think.
You claim that as an excuse,
Knowing that at this very hour
A hundred thousand young Am

Are marching through the plains of
Picardy to die?
My God!-
Listen:
Though you speak our tongue,
You have no drop of American blood

Far better is the murderous Hun
To you,
For he will fight
But the cowardly of soul
And dwarfish Of mind
We have always.
God give us strength in this hot hour
To keep our hands from their
throats!
