THE RED CROSS NURSES OF EUROPE
ARE GIVING TOASTED
CIGARETTES TO THE BOYS

To anyone who doesn't know of the
wonderful advances that have been made
in the preparation of smoking tobaccos
in the last few years it may sound strange
to speak of toasted cigarettes.
Strictly speaking, we should say ciga.
rettes made of toasted tobacco; the smok-
ers of this country will recognize it more
readily by its trade name, LUCKY
STRIKE the toasted cigarette.
The American Tobacco Company are
producing millions of these toasted ciga.
rettes and these are being bought in
enormous quantities through the various
tobacco funds conducted by the news
papers of the country and forwarded
through the Red Cross Society to the boys
in France.
This new process of treating tobacco
not only improves the flavor of the tobacco
but it seals in this flavor and makes
the cigarettes keep better.
The Red Cross nurse is always glad to
have a cigarette for the wounded soldier,
as, in most instances, that is the FIRST
thing asked for. ADV.

Fish Scale Jewelry,

That there is commercial value in
unconsidered trifles is shown by q
writer, who says:
1.-THE scales of fish, which are Of util-
ity to the owner during its sOjourn in
the Vastly deep. are ignored after cap
tIre as good only for the refuse heap.
But it was not ever thus" says an ex-
change. "In days gone by fish scales
possessed a real value, notably those
of roach bleak, dace and whitebait.
colder writer's tell US how the scales
Of these fishes were collected and used
in the manufacture of necklaces, ear
rings and such like ornament. Thames
fishermen used to catch fish, take off
the scales and throw the body back
into the river. A pigment was obtain
ed by treating the scales in n certain
fashion, whitehall being the most pop
ular fish used for the purpose. So
great formerly was the demand at
times that the price of quart Of
fish scales varied from one to five
guineas.
"This treatment Of fish scales for
making small personal adornments is
attributed to the French"

Having enlisted the services of

One Military Note.

Khaki shades, made like the oVercoat

Economist, are shown for the little tots
and are meeting with fair success. In
other models the short WaiStline still
continues to be favored. The lower
section of the coat is sometimes pleat-
ed. Others, however, are cut in one
piece on perfectly straight lines. Belts
and sashes are both used to a consd-
cradle extent. Collars follow close

give UP PLATINUM!
Nomen of Nation Are Asked to
Make Sacrifice.
Precious Metal So Badly Needed by
the Government Will Not Be Used
for Personal Adjournment by
the True Patriot.

Viglantes.
Who would have thought that so
small thing as bit of jewelry might
show ones <unpatriOtism? And yet it
is so! Every woman who wears a DIT
Of platinum jewelry is defrauding the
government of just so much power for
war. Every man who buys a platinum
setting for his dear lady's ring is put
ting the badge of his carelesSness upon
her. Every jeweler who persuades a
buyer that platinum is more chic than
the gold of other days, is acting con-
trary to the nations interests.
Platinum is exceedingly important
in the steel and iron works and in the
manufacture of munitions. From it is
produced sulphuric acid used in MAX
Ing high explosives. 1t is one of the
big assets of power; but platinum is
scarce, growing scarcer every day.
The situation is so serious as to Grip
pie both the university laboratories.
whose patriotic chemists are working
on war problems, and the chemical in
duStries which have developed here
since war began, to replace German
productions.
Our country contains no platinum
mines, and the supply from the Ural
mountains is almost unobtainable now.
In the Russian crisis. Our other great
platinum source, Colombia, has also
apparently failed US at this juncture.
The shortage is such that the metal
now costs sos an ounce! But for that
very reason-because it is doubly
precious-SOme unthinking persons de-
sire it all the more to adorn them
selves. Think of it'll To adorn ones
silly self, at the expense of ones coun-
try's safety Surely there is no Amer
lean woman so selfish, when once she
knows the truth. Surely no one de-
sireS to be more beautiful at the cost

Jewelry set in platinum is undenia-
bly, rich. But one is not, hope, think
ing about rich effects in dress nova
days. 1t is no time to court admira-
ton with jewelry. Patriotism is the
onlylbright, particular jewel worth dis
playing.
So keen is the anxiety Of the chem
is,s1over the high cost Of platinum
that{ one wOrld-famous scientist has
saSEfced a beautiful platinum dish
pg4&nted to him in recognition of his
distinguished service to science. This
patriot sold his precious keepsake, the
reward Of years of faithful research
for mankind, in order that the metal
it contained might be fashioned into
chemists supplies for the further aid
Of his country. Such memorial was
worth more than jewels.
Cannot all the women of America be
as self-sacridclng as this great man Of
science?

Lights ant the Color Scheme.

Did you ever wish that you could get
electric light bulbs to match the color
scheme of your room? If so, you may
be glad to know, if you have not al
ready discovered the trick for your
self, that you may color them at home
to suit your own taste. 1t is very sim
pie. Just buy some water-colOr paints,
a soft brush, and set to work. You
may paint them any shade that you
desire, and get a lovely effect Of soft
ened light through the painted glass.
For instance, if your living room is
done in shades of brown and yellow,
you can get beautiful sunshiny light

AN OLD FASHION is REVIVED
Head Coverings in Shape of Hoods and
Caps Have Returned TO Favor,
Coupled With Wartime Simplicity.

Once upon time women wore loose
head coverings in the evening. That
was before closed limousines and hair
nets. Such bits of comfort and tinery
have been discarded for years, but
they have returned to fashion for some
reason probably connected with the
war and it's economies, observes a
fashion writer in the Chicago Herald.
They are made in the shape of hoods,
some astonishingly like Little Red Rid
ing Hoods bonnet, done in sealskin
and scarlet or Italian blue velvet.
Others are caps, gathered tulle in
three or four colors, one layer super
imposed on the other to build a rain
bow foundation.
Again. others look like the Red Cross
nurses cap, fastening at the back,
with broad scarfs of velvet and fur
that protect the neck above the line of

verted commas. Manutius' system was
