ST. JULIA.

St. Julia lived in Carthage when that city was taken by Gensoric in 439, and was sold to Eusebius, a pa gan merchant of Syria. Her mas ter, in his travels, took her to Corst- ca, which he reached during the height of some pagan festival. Julia refused to join the idol worshippers, and even the entreaties of Felix, gov ernor of the island, failed to move her. Felix, struck with her beauty, tried to bSy her from her master, but Eusebius refused. He, however. drank too freely, and while he was overcome with drink Felix again at

 FOR GIRLS OF
 CAMP FIRE CLUBS

As soon as the United States en- tered the world war, the Camp Fire Girls suggested a war program for all girls in war time. Ninety-threa thousand three hundred and fifty six of them contributed and cooper ated with the Red Cross; SOAP maintained gardens; 47,e90 cared for little children. They realize that the days ahead are as critical in our national life as the days behind us and they have, therefore, adopted the following program for the days of reconstruction:
 1. Conserve health and become sturdy and rugged by taking cold baths and 3etting-up exercises each morning, by walking one hundred miles each month, by eating sweets | only at meal time. and by camping at least one week each year. 2. Create wealth for self and coun- { try by investing pennies in thrif stamps or penny saving banks, bS substituting in every phase of life thrift for extravagance, simple pleasures in the home and out O. hOOI1 ICNltdLAull AOA CNPStLSlNG dllluSV ments.

How to Treat Freckles in Beauty Ways
By LUCREZTA BORI

The Famous SpGHiSh PrintG Donna face with soft cloth. Apply a good face powder after the cream has been rubbed off. After thoroughly rubbing the powder into the remnants of cream which remain on the surface of the skin, wipe the powder smoothly so as to leave little trace of it on the face. You will not look made up," if you're careful to wipe the powder down to well-nigh invisible thinness.
 Massage and Lotions.
 Freckles and tan are the result of pig nent-the coloring matter of the skin which is brought to the surface by the action of the sun or wind. They can be removed but will of course appear again if the skin isn't protected before exposure by the application of the above cold cream or a similar one.
 Massage is a valuable agent in eradi- eating freckles, and In overcoming a predisposition to them, because every thing that promotes the activity of the skin tends to remove its blemishes.
 A good freckle lotion Is the following: l Lactic acid.- d.-............-.......... OF. 1 Glycerine ...............s......o.. OF. l Rose water. er...,..,...-s...-......... oz. Apply this several times daily with absorbent cotton, pouring small Quan- tity of the lotion, as needed, into 8 saucer.

 freckle remedy for some skins. Equal parts of glycer1ne and pure lemon juice are also effective.

 Some skins are of course more deli cate than others. Yours may become irritated from the acid, which is a nec- essary ingredient of all freckle remov- CTS. In this case, use the remedy only every other day, meantime being care full to keep the face well saturated with cold cream.
 For strongly entrenched freckles the following is effective:

 Apply this liquid with a camel's hair brush, being careful to keep it away from the eyes and eyebrows. Allow to remain on for five minutes and then wipe it off with a soft cloth.
 Any of these lotions will act as a tan remover, because primarily they are skin bleaches. If your skin tans read l fly, the following lotion applied to the skin thoroughly and allowed to dry be- fore going out. will act as a proven tive of tan:

IA TOW that winter is here, you are IN probably lamenting because the
 long hours spent out of doors, as farmerette or in swimming, sailing. golf Ing or playing on the beach, have left their marks upon your skin. You are wondering what to do for freckles, which, although they may have been 'in the picture in summer and fall, are un- desirable possessions in winter.
 It is unfortunate to have a skin which ereckles. an Is much more easily re- moved than the obstinate freckle. Yet it Is a pity for you to forego the joys and the benefits of outdoors, because you fear the consequent injury to your complexion. Long, active hours in the open air contribute more to beauty than even freckles can take away. Your gen eral appearance will be so improved in the long run, by being out of doors, that it's better for a time to sacrifice little of the complexion to the great gain of health and vitality, which are after all the real marks of beauty.
 The application of a heavy cold cream or lanolin before going out will protect your skin from both wind freckles''- ''cold freckles'' they are. sometimes called-and ''sun freckles.''
 A good protective cream Is found tn the following ingredients:

Are British Dogs
A Wartime Necessity?

In this land Of the cornucopia. even
in the stress Of war when consumption
grows greater and national and inter-
national demand for foodstuffs in
creases by leaps and bounds, we have
not worried about three meals day.
Everybody is still getting meals regu-
larly, though most everybody, If not
everybody, is patriotically cutting
down wheat and meat consumption.
Over on the other side. in England
particularly, they are not nearly SO
well off. There the food controller
and his rulings arc stern reminders
as in happier times. So it is that in
order to stretch food even farther the
food controller has taken up the ques-
tion of putting Fido, Rover and the
rest ( the ofour-foots on q strict war
diet.
Whether the dog is a necessity or a
luxury is hotly debated. The farmer
argues in favor of the watchdog. The
sportsman talks about the good points
Of foxhound. The professional vermin
hunter says the country will go to the
rats IT his dogs ate sent to the lethal
chamber. The sturdy laborite, backed
by his knickerbcckered progeny, insists
that the households pet is the house
holds protector. The society miss
dearly loves her chow, while the elder
ly matron thinks what her Flufikins
eats amounts to no more than the It'd
bits that cannot possibly aid the Ger
mans in winning the war by "starving
the English" Only the dachshund is
universally condemned.
The dutiful food controller deals in
hard facts and figures that show 40
much meat consumed weekly, so much
needed and SO much not on hand. Be
sides, he cannot escape the fact that
go many millions Of pounds of good
meal go into dog biscuits annually
