is to be constantly given by experts to the women candidates at this service school. The Spirit of self-sacrifice and service and the willingness to do hard work cheerfully," with certifi- cates of good health and character are the only requirements for women candidates between tEe ages of 20 and 50 years, who receive tuition, board and lodging free. As a test, the first class has had the large Clifton" mansion, housing the new service school, turned over to it in unsettled condition, to be set to rights by the students themselves.
 Close cooperation with the Ord nance Department, the Department of Labor and other government de- partments concerned with the press ing problems of reconstruction in in- dustrial communities is to be main tained by the National Catholic War Council in projecting it's plans for mobilizing it's new army of women welfare workers.

Unheralded Heroes of theWar
HorO the LzckenbGch Fought Against odds Safety.
By MARK ANDREWS

TTaIS Is a story of Yankee seaman
 pluck that shows that the old spirit
 of John Paul Jones still exists even in the American merchant marine.
 One morning late in the fall of 1917 the steamer Luckenbach was making her way across the Atlantic when she was suddenly attacked by a German submarine. Immediately the armed guard of the merchantmen manned their guns and terrific, but one-sided, fight followed.
 It was soon apparent that the mer- chantman couldn't h0ld its own against the heavier guns of the submarine, and a wireless call for help was sent out The call was almogr immediately an- swered by nn American destroyer.
 When the destroyer answered the call of the Luckenbach. the nerchantman asked how long it would take the war vessel to arrive oH the scene of battle. Two hours,' came the reply.
 "Too late" answered the Luckenbach. Look for boats"
 There seemed to be only a moments wavering on the part of the commander of the merchantmen, for his next an- swer to the destroyer showed that he { had given up the idea ot taking to the boats, and had determined to fight il out
 Don't surrender came from the commander Of the destroyer.
 "Never!'' flashed back the captain oi the nnerohantman, although at the time his ship was being riddled by the enemys fire.

Haines of the Superior court before whom the case was heard about three weeks ago.

WOMAN's DEVOTION TO HOME.

Home duties to many women ap- pear more important than health. No matter how i'll they feel, they drag themselves through their daily tasks, overdo and pay the penalty in head aches, backache, dragging-down pains and nervousness; they become irrita- ble, and finally discover that some form of female complaint has fastened itself upon them. When woman gets into this condition there is one tried and true remedy made from the roots and herbs of the field, Lydia F. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, which for more than 40 years has continued it's great work among women in restoring health after many other remedies have failed.-Adv.

How You May AUoid Chapped

and warm water After thoroughly washing your hands with this solution rub in little olive oil, lanolin or vase line and then wipe the hands thoroughly with dry towel.
 Half a dozen nights o: such treatment will cause the most obstinate case of chapped hands to disappear, provided you don't wash tie hands in soap and water during the daytime and then carelessly dry them. Thoroughly dry ing the hands after washing is a simple preventive against chapped hands. Should the chcpped condition remain obstinate after a weeks cornmeal treat ment, rub in little lime ju'se or lemon | juice 10 complete the process of healing. Kid Glove Aids.
 Night is the best time for the corn meal application because your hands then have longer exemption from ex- posture to cold, and the healing process has a better opportunity to become eff fective. After you have washed your hands with warm water and cornrneal at night cold water and cornrnea I
 wash in the morning Is advisable. On general principles, after ordinary wa ash ing of the hands in warm water cold
 water should be used to harden the
 hands and enable them to cope with cold air.
 Meal does by mechanical action what
 soap accomplishes by chemical means
 Soap is apt to burrow into the flesh and
 10 irritate the skin made sensitive by
 the cold.
 1 Kid gloves should never be worn Ionge, than week without turning them in. side out and chemically cleaning theno Gloves accumulate dirt from hands kept immediately clean. as you will ob. serve If you examine the inside of you1 gloves Soiled gloves transmit dirt anC
 possible disease to the pores of thu l skin. Wash gloves, either kid or fabric
 are the best and most sanitary hand coy } ering.

 Finally. a little after il o'clock, or more than three hours after the first call for help had been answered by the destroyer, the smol1s os the war vessel was seen on the horizon, and half an hour later the little wasp of the sea had driven the German to submerge. The destroyer then stood by until repairs had been made to the engines of the Luokenbach, and escorted the steamer to Q convoy.

 To find the ideal blend for cleansing and softening the hands-without mak- ing them too tender for active use in cold air-has been the dream of soap makers for centuries. The soap that suits one skin may be very bad for an- other Therefore, you should experi- ment until you find what soap suits your skin best and "clCave to that alone"
 There IS a preventive for chapped hands which is so cheap and simple that it is within the reach of all. This rem edy is cornmeal. Food conservation doesn't permit of wasting Cornmeal, but you will find little of it to be a good winter-time investment and save fats by avoiding soap for a time.
 A Good Treatment.
 The Indians used corn meal for washing their skin when they naturally were dependent on only primitive remedies mixing 1t with bears grease. Tho New England country women have used il for 2OO years to cure chapped handA mixing it with milk.
 The best method for using cornmea Is as follows:

ministration that the price OF milk
should remain at IL cents quart has
raised such a storm OF protest that
the finding has been withheld from
tho public until conference to be
held today shall determine whether
the subject shall be referred to the
national food administration
Producers in the Chicago district
claim that the finding of the commits
sion discriminates in favor of the dis
tributing companies and although the
commissions decision was reached
only yesterday, some OF the dairy
farmers threatened boycott on Chi
cago. Should this threat be put into
effect. il is said, consumers here Will
feel sharply the want OF milk tomor-
row morning.
According to Assistant Food Adj
ministrator Stevenson the prices fixed
for the producers are: February
1907; March $2.S3; April $2.4s; May
$2O4; June $3.50.
II understand that the reported
farmers boycott of Chicago is based
ON the failure to announce prices at
the time promised" Mr.. Stevenson
said, land not any complaint against
the prices now fixed
He confirmed the statement that The
retail price had been ~ cents q quart
or seven cents pint with cash and
carry" price OF 10 cents.
