Recent reports show that approx
mately 1000 community labor boards
of the United States employment serv-
Ice have been organized or are in final
process of organization. Between 200
and 500 Of them are ready to function
and some already have begun work.
Full and partial returns from 80
states and the District of Columbi,.
give total of 915 boards completed
or in formation while four other states,
two of them large Industrial common
wealths, report the organization of
boards bit not the number. The five
remaining states failed to report.
Each community labor board is com
posed of three members, one represen;
ing the community's employers, the sec
ond 1t employees and the third who is
chairman, the United States employ
ment service. The employers and en-
plOyees' members are chosen by their
respective local organizations, their ap-
pointment being approved by the d.
rector general of the employment serv
ice. It Is the work of the community
boards to generally supervise the re-
cruitment and distribution of workers
for war production, the actual recruit
ing and distributing being done by the
local offices and agents of the employ
ment service, including the agents Of
the public service reserve.
The federal directors Of employment
for the states have been notified by
the director general to rush the organ
iZation of the boards for their states
and their functioning as quickly as
possible in order to provide relief for
short-handed war Industries.

Experiments In laundering shoes are
being conducted at various camps by
the conservation reclamation division
of the quartermastcr corps. The meth
cd used is the same employed by the
American eXpeditionary forces.
A solution composed of one quart of
strong dlsinfectant to so gallons of wa
ter was used to wash about 200 army
shoes in standard laundry machine.
The solution used is germicide, antisep-
tic and deodorant. After IA minutes
washing the shoes were removed, dried
for about an hour and then resoled.
The results were found to be highly
satisfactory. After the shoes are laun-
dered and repaired they are creased
with clubbing to make them more pill
able and at the same time to preserve

To effect the needed saving OF wheat
we are wholly dependent upon the
voluntary assistance Of the American
people and we ask that the following
rules shall be observed:

means not more than TX pounds OF
Victory bread containing the required
percentage of substitutes and one-half

not more than one-quarter Of n barrel

products without the sale Of AN equal
weight OF other cereals.

before, and corresponding proportions
In other weights. We also ask bakers

The long, slow simmering makes the
meat tender. Carrots and potatoes
are not the only vegetables which

occasionally by using turnips.

Keeping Your Hands Young

KTO woman ever wants her hands 10
N grow old and ugly. But unless the
hands are well cared for, they VIII
hetray the age more quickly than the face.
Study your hands we'll. Hold them I'D
In the mereiless sunshine and see whether
there are any defects that may be cor
rected Never let the skin grow coarse
and rough. Remember that the young
hand is smooth and firm L has no large
veins. And the skin doe. LOT hang in
unlovely creases and folds
The old hand, on the contrary. is rough
skinned and loose muscled. In the youth
ful hand the veins are only family indi-
Gated. In the old hands they stand forth
as whipcords. When the hand Is young
the knuckles are inconspicuous. When II
is old they are more prominent than any
other part of the hand
Perhaps | can make this more clear a
/ explain IL this wey: Between the young
hand and the old there is the same diff.
ference there is between the thin bark OF
a sapling and the thick rugged bark of
a stOrm-beaten old oak In youth the nails
are thin and pink, but in old age they are
inclined to be thick and yellow.
knowing these signs, the intelligent
woman will avoid them. She will de-
ilOeIdIoAy discourage tneSe symptoms OF
multiplying years. l must tell you that
the cause Of aged hands is due 70 the com
mon cause of bodily decay defective cir
culatien- Exercise promotes circulation.
Therefore you must exercise your hands
every day, particularly the fingers.
Fancy that your hands are but loosely
attached to the wrists and that you are
trying to shake them of. Rase them from
the elbows and with the hands bent at
the wrist, vigorously shake them. Now
do the same thing with the fingers, spread
ing them wide and loose Shake them from
right to left and back again. Shake them
up and down and shake them round and
round.
Invent exercises OF your own. Any
movement that will cause the blood to how
at an increased rapidity will renourish and
so rejuvenate the hands. II is a good idea
to wiring your hands repeatedly like the
sOrrow-stricken heroine did in the tragedy
story you were reading last week.

utes every morning before you are ready
TO dress for the day. will do much to

the oil, little cream or real butter. so
that it will spread well. Cheese, another

chopper OF mashed into a paste, mixed
with a little vegetable oil, seasoned with
paprika and mustard, and kept in a small
jar and used on bread. Even some kinds
OF fish may be used. as. for instance,
salmon, herring or other dried fish, which
may be mashed and used as a sandwich
paste, OF a small quantity Of salmon salad
can be carried in one Of the tight jars.
Besides the substantials. fruit OF some
kind should be provided. OF course, ripe
oranges, apples and bananas are good but
they may be varied by using the healthful
prune, fig or raisin. Small dark, dried
figs (Which are called sewing figs) cost
about twenty cents pound, and are great
ly relished. A HANDFUL of seedless raisins
will give the child both sugar and starch
in he most wholesome forms. Prunes and
other dried fruits may be drained Of their
juice, mashed and used as a butter
spread" for bread.
And speaking of bread brings to mind
the importance of varying the bread or
sandwich material Nothing is so mOnot-
CnoIs az the same kind of bread, and in
these war days there are so many posi-
breads that there is no excuse for serving
the same kind daily. Raisin bread and
cookies made Of bran and rye apd oatmeal
or other cereal fakes are easy 10 bake at
home and will all be Telished.
Meat has not been mentioned. because
there are so many other foods which will
give the child the same nourishment at
less cost and with better results; but it is

pastes. Here is where the faithful meat
chopper comes into use The most simple
leftovers may be run into its magic throat,
seasoned with onion, pepper, etc, and be
ground so fine that the resultant paste"
will spread much better than a slice Of
meat. which tears and is difficult to eat
between the two slices OF bread. The idea,
OF pastes can be followed further-even
raisins, vegetables and fruits lending them
selves to this idea and forming much more
attractive sandwiches than when used in
the usual way.
While We are all conserving food. we
know that the children should be provided
