NOELLA.

Noveila was the daughter of John Andreas, a famous canonist of the Fourteenth century, who was born in Bologna, Italy, where her father was professor, He instructed her so well that when he was prevented from reading lectures to his scholars. he sent his daughter in his stead. She was a very beautiful maiden, and, lest her beauty should detract the at tention of her hearers, she always had a little curtain drawn before her when she lectured. She was married to John Caldesirmus, also very learned man. but did not long survive her marriage. To perpetuate her memory, her father. entitled his com mentary on the Decretals of Gregory x. "the Novellae."

at one time had peacheS-and-cream complexions, but have later suffered from some kind of facial blemishes due to skin eruptions.
 Richness, roughness and pimples sometimes result from disturbances of the blood or digestive system, and any attempt to correct them should be made only under the directions of physician. Improper diet, like overly rich foods will cause eruptions on the skin; similarly, under-nourishment will eventually result in aranemic con- ditions, producing a colorless or vel Jewish skin.
 If, however, there is no organic trouble the complexion can often be improved by regular care and the ap- plication of external preparations. A good complexion means, first, abso- lute cleanliness, and second the bloom that comes from a good circulation. External applications will aid these considerably.
 In the first place, remember that the face is exposed to the dust and dirt of outdoors more than any other part of the body. Even the hands are protected Dy groves, put the lace IS prey to all the floating foreign par tfcles in the air. Consequently, the face should be cleansed as frequently and indeed, more frequently even than the hands. We have the habit of washing the hands half a dozen times a day or more, but the average woman does not give her face as frequent at tention.

WILL DRAFT MEN
RECENTLY OF AGE
Congress Expected to Pass Bill Prompt
ly-Registration for New Men
Expected in June.

WASHINGTON, April 18.-A favora-
BILE report of the bill calling into serv-
ice men who have become of draft age
since the first registration date, June l.,
1917, was ordered yesterday by unani-
nous vote of the house military affairs
committee. Chairman Dent said he ex-
pected it would become q law almost i'm
mediatelv.
As it was reported from the commit
tee it differs from the senate measures
considerably, so that conference of
the two houses to harmonic their dis
agreement probably will be necessary.
Representative Shallenberger of Ne
braska proposed an amendment which
would have raised the draft age to 40
years. The committee rejected the
amendment, but Mr.. Shallenberger will
call it up when the measure is reported
/ to the house.
| An amendment which removes the
class exemption allowed students in di
vinity institutions was stricken from
the bill. Under regulations recently LAID
tious DIRECTORS, these men may be as
| signed to non combative service.
The committee agreed to the senate
. proposition lidb int tutCl VI tut Dli
shall be continuing. Hereafter tht
President may call each year the mer
who have become p by proclamation
without further legislation. The wa
department estimates that ,000,0 900 mel
will thus be added annually to the draf
classes, most of them in class !.
1t is understood that registration 70
new men will be June 5, 1918. Thei
numbers will be 25SA. 176A, etc, an,
when No 25S of the original draft i
called. No. 25SA will be automaticall
summoned to appear with him.
Chairman Dent said today that h
would call on Secretary Baker toda
and that he would ask the secretary t
appear before the committee as soon a
it was agreeable. Representative Kah
,. of California, ranking Republican 0
the committee, plans to question NJ
Baker on line designed to show tn
necessity for much larger army tina

has suggested. Mr.. Kahn favors g

UNITED STATES TO
RUN BARGE CANAL
McAdoo Seizes S1OO, 100000 Waterwa.
to Relieve the Strain on the
Railroads.

WASHINGTON, April ls-New York's
state barge canal, which was completed
only recently at cost OF over 100000
COO, is to be operated by the national
government under an agreement reached
with the state authorities. The old com
petition between the railroads and the
canal will be eliminated and the canal
operated not as a competitor but as an
auxiliary of the railroads.
Announcement that the canal would
be operated by the government was made
last night by DirectorGeneral McAdoo.
The announcement came as the end OF a
series of negotiations which the committee
on inland waters of the railroad admin
istration has had with the state author

GERMAN FOOD SUPPLIES Low.
Bavarian Minister of Interior Takes q
Gloomy View.

AMSTERDAM, April 1S.-A gloomy
view of the food situation in Germany
was outlined by DIR. Won Bretterich,
the Bavarian minister of the interior,
in forecast which has appeared In
the Berlin newspapers. The public
was told that ''not only is there no
chance of the potato ration being in
creased, but we must think ourselves
lucky if it is maintained as its present
level The Bavarian minister said he
hoped the bread ration might not have
to be reduced and that the meat ra-
tion may be kept at its present height,
but there was little confidence in the
tone of this assertion.
Special preparations of cereals, on
which many hopes were based a few
| weeks ago were not yet on the market
in any considerable quantities, and the
public must wait for daily ration of
half a teacupful
Wholesale complaints of the quantity
of food being supplied at the public
kitchens throughout Germany appear
III the newspapers. The director of
public kitchens, in reply to these at
tacks, issued the following statement;
''With the continuance of the war
the quality of the materials we receive
becomes ever poorer, and the choice
more limited. We are compelled to
take what is offered us or go without
Complaints of defective quality are
simply ignored and if we insist upon
receiving regular supply we run tht
risk of being entirely cut off. The fat
quota allotted to US grows ever smaller
The vegetable supply is now limited te
kohlrabi and turnips.'
4 pessimistic article on the potato
situation by member of the Prussial
House of Deputies says that the acre
age under potatoes has decreased b,
one-fourth as compared with the peace
time figure. Not only is the acreag
less he says, "but the demand i
,, greater, and a crop double that o.
