To Have Way Hair
Like Nature DUN

Here's brand new recipe, Of un-

make note of. unless you are one of the
few possessors of naturally wavy hair
Its very simple. for all you need do
is to apply little liquid silmerine at
night-with clean tooth brush-and
In the morning you will find this has
dried in the sweetest curls and waves
Imaginable. They will be just like
Natures own, having no resemblance
to the effect produced by a hot iron,
which is SO obviously artificial.
The application is really beneficial
to the hair and gives II that lively
lustre SO much desired. AS IL is so
easy to obtain few ounces of the
liquid silmcrine from your druggist
sufficient to keep the hair curly for
many weeks-there's no reason now

FRENCH REFUGEES
RETURNING TO
THEIR HOMES

Paris, Oct. l5.-(Corrcspondence
OF the Associated Press)-Carrying
their little bundles OF household pos
sessions, the French refugees are
returning to their homes in Chateau
Thierry and the little French viii
lagos around it, to Naux, Lucy, Bel
lcau and the rest. places now a part
OF American history.
They are coming back to ruins of
Villages and houses demolished by
German or American artillery, to
live in cellars and in the shelter of
tottering walls until they can rebuild
their homes and their return is 4
pitiful spectacle.
Sometimes they find no home at
all. Never do they find any fur
niture. Often they find no food, and
then the American Red Cross steps
in and helps them. The woman who
can dig out her stove from a heap
OF dirt and plaster and patch it up
again so that it will burn, counts her
self inordinately lucky. One woman
found remaining OF all her house
hold goods just one big salt-cellar.
Forks are worth their weight in
gold, and feather bed is priced
above rubies. $500 blankets the Red
Cross shipped out to returning refu-
gees in single week.
The people in the Aisne will not
be able to spend the winter in their
own villages. The villages. on the
banks of the little Marne are too ut
terly battered by shells to afford
human habitations during the winter
weather. Now, while days are warm
and skies are blue, their owners can
find some tiny corner or other to
live in, but the rain and mud and
chilly damp of French winter will
drive them. or if it does not, a pa
ternal government will send them
back to their temporary homes III
the uninvaded provinces to wait for
spring.
Going Home For Harvest
One purpose in sending them
home so quickly was to harvest the
wheat crops but there was no food,
so the Red Cross established can
teens in many villages served
two meals a day free to those too
poor to pay while others paid small
sums. Forty carloads of food were
sent to the Marne and the Aisne in !
a single month. A grocery store has
been opened in Chateau Thierry,
which already is a busy town again.
through the walls OF its houses have
been shattered and torn by shells.

OF the Oise and Aisne to supply the
returning refugees with food, cloth
ing and household utensils. Demands
come for coffee mills, scrubbing
brushes, pals, knives, forks, spoons
and pots for the people taking up
housekeeping again as literally all
that they left behind them when they
fled has been destroyed or carried
away 10 Germany.
To Amiens the refugees are just
beginning to return, but they will
come soon in large numbers, and
they will find the Red Cross ready TO
receive them. There is a big build
ing in AmienS that was boys
school in those half forgotten days
when the city was not under shell
fire. 1t belongs to the Red Cross
now, and its class rooms are turned
to strange uses. There is big sale
de reception where the returning
refugees are sorted out and their
needs ascertained. There is cantecn
that serves two hot nourisihng meals
a day. There is a long dormitory
with beds for the weary ones who
come back to find empty rooms and
roofless houses. There are two dis
pensaries, and dispensary doctors
find much to do in a country where
people live precarious, hand-to-
mouth existences.
Red Cross Gives Clothing
The Red Cross workers furnish
clothing to the shiyering, shabby
people, warm flannel shirts and un-
derwear, stockings and shoes and
sabots Twelve thousand garments
went out from Paris in a single day,
And they furnish work for people,
who must have little money ii they
are to live.
They have an extraordinary way |
those Picardy peasants, of accepting
facts. They go back to live under
conditions as if it were
the most natural thing in the world.
1t never occurs TO them to do any /
thing else. There may be only one
wall of house left, but it is home.
There are few ways in which Amer
lean resource and energq can be bet
ter employed than in strengthening
a philosophy and courage like that
says one Red Cross worker.

What is the attitude OF the French
people toward the Americans? The
French are a very polite people, and
no matter what their inmost thoughts
may be, they are not likely to express
an opinion to an American other than
complimentary. But the children OF
all the world are guileless. They can
be depended upon to express in public
the private opinions of their parents.
The children of France are crazy about
Americans in uniform, so we guess
what their parents feel for u.s.
On one occasion was passing pub
lie school with another Red Cross wo-
man physician in uniform and q
French visiting nurse. The school had
Just been dismissed, and a group of
young boys came trooping out. In
stantly we were surrounded, and after
= seconds parley young Mirabeau of
about twelve years, the spokesman of
the group, stepped forward, bowed
formally and delivered an address on
Lafayette and America, which was
punctuated by the applause of his ad-
miring compatriots The American
Eaglet could not possibly have scream
cd louder in the United States on the
Fourth of July than it did on that back
street of a munition town in France.

There seems to be some difference

Rice a La South Carolina.

No food, regardless of its merits, W
appeal to the consumer unless it can
be made into an attractive dish. In
this country rice usually comes to the
| table as an uninviting, glutinous mass,
except in certain sections OF the South
ern states, where it is served with each
grain distinct and separate, making a
very tempting and appetizing dish. A
platter heaped with loose, f1aky kerr
nels Of rice is not only pleasing to the
eye, but satisfying to the APPETITE. It
is very probable that the attractive ap-
pearance of this dish on the South
Carolina table has had much to do
with the popularity and usefulness OF
rice in that state.
In seeking information on the art of
cooking rice, no mistake is made in re-
ferring to South Carolina, where the
true value Of this cereal has been ap-
preciated for over two centuries. A
Carolina housewife would advise the
using of one pint of rice, after thor
ough washing, which she considers I'M
portant, ito a quart and pint OF wa
ter" and a teaspoonful of common
salt "This is to be boiled over quick
fire for ten minutes, stirring occasion
ally Then pour off all or nearly all
the water; cover the vessel and put
over a very slow fire, and allow 1t to
steam for IS minutes at least, stirring
occasionally. The rice will be soft or
granny, according to the quantity OF
water left on it when put to steam, and
the length of time allowed in the
steaming. The larger the quantity OF
water and the shorter the steaming,
the softer will be the rice"
Of course, other methods are used in
boiling rice or at least notifications OF
the recipe given, but it must be re-
membered that the results should not !.
be a glutinous mass and that success
depends upon the proper amount OF
water used and the length Of time in
