TO SAVE GASOLINE.

An automobile expert, writing in
the March Woman's Home Compan-
ion, says of the use of gasolene:
1--WE are learning that there is no
act of our daily lives which cannot
have a patriotic angle: the way we
run our automobiles, for instance.
Here, luckily patriotism and
pocketbook protection go hand in
hand. It is patriotic to save gaso-
lene, and it is practical economy, too
1T is safe to say that nine out of
ten automobiles use more gasolene per
mile than is necessary.
These are the ways it is wasted:
Running the engine idle;
Having the carburetor adjusted
for TOO rich a mixture;
Brakes improperly adjusted so
that they drag;
Bearings, and more particularly
springs, insuff1ciently fabricated;
''Tires insuffciently pumped up;
Engine not cleaned of carbon
often enough;
Engine not kept clean of carbon
with weekly doses of kerosene;
Running under power when gray
ity and momentum will run the car;
False economy in lubricating oil;
Cooling system out of order.
mo one of these causes wastes
much gasolene. But all together they
may make a difference as great as Is
per cent. in gasolene mileage. If one
fourth the cars in America saved %
per cent of gasolene. enough would
be conserved to supply all we shall
need to send abroad during the war"

MARY ANNE THOMPSON.

Mary Anne Thompson was the last
wife to be sold at public auction in
England, the sale taking place at
Carlisle in April, 1892, just about Sc
years ago. She was the spouse of a
farmer, Joseph Thompson, and had
been married about three years when
her husband decided to sell her on
the auction block. This old practice,
while it. never had legal sanction, had
been followed in rural sections of
England for centuries. The auction
commenced at noon on the appointed
day, Thompson placing his wife in
large oaken chair, with a rope around
her neck. He pointed out her faults
and her good qualities to the assem-
bIed throng. There were few bid
ders, but at length she was Knocked
down. to Henry Mears, who paid 20
shillings and a Newfoundland dog.
Mrs. Thompson went away quite con-
tentedly with her new owner and is
said to have lived happily with him.

COOKED in MANY
APPETIzINC WAYS

Fried Whiting-If the fish is small,
split and cut in sections of desired
size for the pan; if large, cut in
steaks or cross sections; roll in

ed, preferably with .fried-out port or

Should you prefer mixing this
cream yourself follow these directions:
Haf-f1n a saucepan with boiling
water. Stand a small glass or porce-
lain bowl in this. Shred the wax and
spermaced into the bowl Let it melt.
Heat the orange flower water, add it
to the melted mixture-half a tea
spoonful at a time-stirring con-
stantly. Lift the bowl from the sauce
pan ard beat the mixture with a sill
yer fork, adding the Oil of sweet
orange, which has been heated When
the cream is white and smooth put in
pots and cover with paraffin paper.
For Neck and Scalp.
Rub the cream into the skin until
the pores have absorbed an they will
hold Allow a coating Of the ernol-
lent to remain upon the skin as long
as you can conveniently do so, part1c-
ularfy during the night.
Lotions that soften and refine are
also excellent for a skin that's too dry.
Almost any of the cucumber or
honey-and-a1mond preparations are
valuable for this purpose.
But dryness of the skin doesn't con-
fine itself to the face. There is a dry
ness of the neck that is very un-
slightly, especially when evening gowns
anew orn. To overcome this condi-
ton massage the throat, neck and
shoulders frequently with olive oil or
almond oil. First warm the oil and
rub it gently and firmly into the skin.
When the hands are rough use the
following lotion freely:
Glycerine .-2 ounces
Rosewater .......3 ounces
Tincture of benzoin 80 drops.
Dryness of the scalp is ruinous to
the hair, and should be corrected as
soon as the tiny particles of dry skin
begin to powder your tresses. Mas
| saying the scalp and frequently
brushing the hair will do much toward
relieving this condition, but a lotion
of some kind should be applied to the
scalp as well. Any reliable tonic con-
tanning a softening, nourishing oil
should be rubbed into the scalp with
the finger tips or a soft tooth brush.
Dryness of the skin is a blemish
that will respond quickly to treatment
if kept up regularly. Why not
soften and beautify the texture of your
| skin?

GRANDDAUGHTER
OF LINCOLN TO
PLOUGH FIELDS

Mary Lincoln Beckwith, the great
granddaughter of Abraham Lincoln.
who has been representing the Wom-
ans Division of the Committee on
Public Information in Cuba, has re-
turned to this country and states her
determination to plough the fields Of
the family farm in Vermont as part
of her war work for this spring.
Last year there were only eight
men left to cut the hay on an 500
acre m" said Miss Beckwith, land
conditions will be even worse this
year. 1 could not sit on a verandah
in Cuba and knit when there was 4
mans place to be filled here"
Miss Beckwith has purchased 8
tractor which will be attached to hel
automobile and she believes that the
work of ploughing can thus be done
without undue effort or even discom'
fort.

Unless particular care is taken of
the skin when it is inclined to dry
ness the face may become wrinkled
and of a parchment-like color and
texture. The woman with a rough
scaly skin can mnagae to look we'll at
night under soft, shaded lights, but
sunlight reveals the real condition of
her complexion.
Ihere is no reason why your skin
should not always be clear, soft and
smooth. Begin now to correct the
dryness which robs it of it's fine tex
ture.
Since every day change takes
place in your skin-the old skin dies
and new forms-your hope lies in the
new layer, which can be made smooth
and clear and free from all blemishes
if you are willing to spend a little
time in giving it the proper attention.
The First Steps.
The first step in the treatment is to
remove the dead skin. Wash your
face with plenty of soap and water.
using vegetable soap. A complex
ion brush will aid in the process, but
be careful to select one whose bristIes
are not too stiff. After scrubbing the
face remove all traces of the soap by
rinsing the skin with clear water sew
eral times. Then rub it vigorously
with a towel. In this manner most
of the dead particles of skin will be
removed.
Now prevent the new layer Of skin
from becoming dry and rough by ap
plying the following softening cream:
Sweet oil of almonds. q ounces
Orange flower water. .. 2 ounces
White wax .......2 drains
Oil of sweet orange ....1 dram
Spermaceti .........2 drains

ONE of the most
annoying of COM
plexion ills is a dry
skin. In many in
stances the skin is
naturally dry, while
in others the dry
ness is due to ex-
posture to incle1nent
weather. In both
cases it is necessary
to soften the skin by
application of an IL.
