Relief from Eczema

Don't worry about eczema or other
skin troubles. You can have a clear,
healthy skin by using a little zemo,
obtained at any drug store for 35c, or
extra large bottle at Sl.00.
Zemo generally removes pirnples, black
heads, blotches, eczema, and ringworm
and makes the skin clear and healthy.
Zemo is a clean, penetrating, antiseptic
liquid, neither sticky nor greasy and stains
nothing. 1t is easily applied and costs a
mere trife for each application. 1t is
always dependable.

that they make from 25 to 80 per cent on the
food sold there. This seems an enormous
profit, doesn't it? But when you consider that
on a 4cent plate of soup 25 per cent would
only mean 1 cent profit, it doesn't amount to
very much. In fact, if the kitchen takes in
$6 or 81 day, which means s1.5O or S1.75
profit with which to pay for fuel and the cooks
wages, it becomes almost self-supporting.
The cook is the only paid worker in the
community kitchen; the rest of the work is
done by volunteers, principally by members
Of the National League for Woman's Service
and the Junior League.
Another kitchen has been opened during
the last week in location near 147th Street
and Seventh Avenue, where it is greatly
needed. The National League intends to
make this model kitchen conducted on a
strictly business basis, and it is hoped that the
well-todo we'll as the poorer classes will
patronize it.
Funds are asked for the establishment of
this kltchen-funds and volunteer workers

The point that those interested in these
kitchens wish to impress on their patrons is
that this IS not charity' 1t is the patriotic
duty OF every housewife to practise economy
and conservation, and by purchasing at least
a portion of her food already cooked she
saves fuel as we'll as her own labor The raw
material is bought at wholesale for much less
than she would be obliged to pay for it, so it
is no more expensive if bought cooked at the
community kitchen than she would pay for it
at retail prices, uncooked 1t is therefore
greatly to be hoped that every class of people,
rich and poor, will patronize these community
kitchens as far possible. 1t will help
along the work Of economy and conservation
which, if we persevere, is sure to be power
fu factor in bringing about that which we
desire, one and all, before everything else in
the whole world-the winning of this great
world war!

Sa0e Every Shred for h4
Red Cross

IHE slender thread has always played a
big part in history. Sometimes it has
saved life. Sometimes it has taken
one Now it has a new use Miss Edith
Diehl, director of auxiliary workrooms for the
New York County Chapter of the Red Cross,
has discovered that it makes fine filling for
comfort pillows.
A wounded soldier has voracious appetite
for small pillows. He can use five or six at
time, one tucked under sprained wrist. one
under sprained ankle, three or four more
bringing relief to aching back or head. Thou
sands of them shipped from the work
rooms Of the New York County Chapter of the
Red Cross. The cushion is only ten by twelve
inches in size, covered with any scrap of fast
color. After it is used once it is thrown away
With SO many such pillows needed, it is es-
scntial that literally every available thread be
used. AS cloth Of any size whatever must be
utilized in garments and every inch of yarn
must go into sweaters or socks, only waste
shreds can go into the pillows
Humble ravellngs of silk or cotton hereto
fore have been the principal stuffing forsthe
pillows. Now Miss Dehl has discovered that
strips of linen tracings, used in architects
offices, make the best possible stuffing. After
they have been boiled and dried they curl up
into crisp little rolls. Mixed with pieces of
thick felt they make a pillow of spring and
softness which lives up to its name and brings
real comfort to the wounded men in the base
hospitals.
The linen tracings are donated by archi-
tects, the felt by furniture manufacturers, the
covers by any one with scraps of cloth too
small for other uses. Even the labor is. so to
speak, by-product, for they are made by in
valids or elderly women who cannot do heavier
work. In this way he whole of the comfort
pillow grows from waste products

five stitches, and continue as before until YOU
reach part where slip-stitch occurs Then re-
peat and do so on three rows. When you
reach slip-stitch part again make thirty chains
and continue regular stitch at point where
slip-stitch ends. On three additional rows slip
stitch into chain stitch continuing rest of
round as before. There should be seven rows
on cap to correspond with opening. Now con-
tinue regular stitch until cap measures at least
thirteen inches when laid flat from top centre
to bottom. Finish with two rows of the bean
stitch or any other stitch that will make

the latter is but six hours and the time for the
wristlets is relatively IT, 4sened.

One Woman Who viii

By NANCY FlTzHUcH RlcHEY

NHE girl bent eagerly over the tray of
service pins in the jewelry department.
She fingered them slowly, discarding
each one she picked it up to the one
under it. Finally the woman behind the
counter, sweet-faced little woman of about
forty, spoke:
Il have none left with tluo stars" she said.
"'Ihat is what l looking for" said the
girl, wonderingly. GLOW did you know I
wanted one with two stars?"
II don't know" said the other. II think

Of them than of the ones and threes and

Then the girl really looked at her, and she
noticed that the woman herself wore upon the
front of her waist service pin containing two
stars She smiled sympatheticaly, and the
woman smiled back.

Just Give Her d Little Time

A STOUT motherly, middle-aged woman
~ stood anxously watching the coin box
at one of the stations of the new
Broadway subway. Very evidently it was her
first day on the job and she found the lob
rather more onerous than trying to scramble
the eggs, sweep the floor and mind the twins
all at the same time.

Square for BROOKLYN" asked woman at her

The guardian of the coin box opened her
mouth to give a detailed and conscientious
reply but at that instant man inquired inn
patiently:

Still with her mouth open the new employee

model for men in the trenches. Anything
that can increase our output of garments is
valuable these days. And so, adapting the
stitch to a helmet, designed this helmet cap"
That was nearly two years ago. Finding
the helmets enthusiastically received by the
men in France, Mrs Seligmann at once began
making them, with the result that now, aside
IRON twcnty-seven sweaters, huge quota of
mttcns socks and wristlets, she has made
over a hundred Of these helmet caps. Since
our entry into the war, however, thew
have been exclusively for our own enlisted
men and hospital units
SO great has been the demand for these
crocheted helmet caps that many other work
ers, after seeing this model and realizing the
practical tme-saving value of using the
crochet stitch, instead Of the more familiar
knitted one, are now making it. The drec-
tions given by Mrs. Segmann are:
