Notes of Inter
est to Workers

One of the very interesting ana
practical features of the work of the
local Red Cross society is that of fur
nishing supplies for the refugee work
This branch OF the society provides
garments and other wearing apparel
for the stricken people. especially chill
dren, os France, Belgium and other Of
the war-r,dden fields II the warrn4'
nations
"A recent shipment from local head E
quarters, which had been contribute
by workers in State Center and also
of the city. was greatly admired BY
all who saw It, The garments had
been made from mems and women ;
cast-off clothing in manner that
showed great skill with the needle and
much patience in execution. It was. in
fact, one CT the finest displays q
needle work Imaginable. There wer7
complete suits for boys, from 10 Ia
years Of age, and dresses for girls from
surprising the way the old. discarded
clothing had been turned INTO neat ap-
pear!nC, ser"iceahle garments.
In the work of the society practically
no material is permitted to go 10 waste.
Pet1.coats are made from pieces left
over IN the cutting ont OF pajamas
House shoes are quickly whipped into
serviceahla form from scraps OF con-
valeScent blanket robes. and. in fact,
all odds and ends are put into good
use wherever possible
The old ladies Of the soldiers home
have been enlisted in the work ard are
plying their needles with patriotic Ell
fect.veness. having already contributed
two dozen pett!Coats. one dozen wool
blankets, one dozen bed comforts and
sixty comfort pillows. The seventh grade
girls Of the ward schools are doing
the society four dozen pairs OF house
shoes and a supply of petticoats. The
Martha Washington Society has made
and sent TWO dozen girls dresses. and
the members Of the Eastern Star have
made and contributed about 200 pieces.
Two shipments OF supplies for the
refugee work have been made during
the last three weeks, and as people be
come familiar with this feature of the
work they are becoming interested and
are working and contributing that the
output OF the society may be greatly
increased.
The last shipment of supplies for this
branch OF the work. which was sent q
few days ago. included the following:
Thirteen packages girls dresses one
package girls aprons. ten packages IN
dersk!rts, three packages of baby
things ono 0srlyapa SaDIL.arch;a+s ana

Home Death Rate
Highest in Inst;-
t,1tion's History

Ono hundred Afty-two members OF
the Iowa Soldiers Home died durins
the year 1917, creating new high re-
cord established in 1914, when Is.
members OF the home passed away
The increased death rate is due to two
causes-a greatly increased member
ship. and the increased age Of mem
beers.
The death rate in 1917 was forty
nine more than the preceding year
when los members died. That year
showed a falling off of sixteen from the
preceding year OF 1915.

and more Of it before long. This
cayrse of mine has had thirty miles
or so of rough going"
II think I'd better wait for you." she
said primly. There are bad places
where the trail goes close to the bluff,
and the lava rock will be slippery with
this snow, and it's getting dark SO fast
that stranger might 60 over"
If that's the case the sooner you
are past the bad places the better. I'm
all right. You drift along"
Billy Louise speculated briefly upon
the note Of calm authority In his voice.
He did not know evidently that she
was more accustomed to giving COM
mands than to obey1ng them. Her lips
gave a little quirk Of amusement at his
mistake.
You 60 ON. don't want q guide"
He tilted his head peremptorily toward
the blurred trail ahead.
Billy Louise laughed little. She did
not feel In the least embarrassed now.
DO you never get what you don't
wantT she asked mildly. I'D lot
rather lead you past those places than
have you go over tho edge" she said,
because nobody could get you up or
even go down and bury You decently.
1t wouldn't be bit nice. It's much
simpler to keep you on top"
He said something, but Billy Louise
could not hear what 1t was She sus-
pected him Of swearing. She rode on
in silence.
Blues 4 dandy horse on bad trails
and In the dark" she observed COM
panionably at last. "He simply can't
lose his footing or his way"
YES? That's nice"
Billy Louise felt like putting out her
tongue at him for the cool remoteness
Of his tone. It would serve him right
to ride on and let him break his neck
over the bluff If he wanted to. She
shut her teeth together and turned her
face away from him.
So, in silence and with no very good
feeling between them, they went pre-
cariously down the steep hill (the hill
up which Marthy and the oxen and
Jase had toiled so laboriously twenty
seven years before and across the tiny
fat to where the cabin window wink
ed a welcome at them through the
storm.

GIRLS! MAKE A BEAUTY LOTION
 WITH LEMONS
aa*a......s*..ss..s.t.@#*,

At the cost of small jar of ordinary eold cream one can prepare full quar- ter pint of the most wonderful lemon slKin softener and complexion beautitier, by squeezing the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle containing three ounces of orchard white. Care should be taken to strain the juice through nne cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, khen this lotion will keep fresh for months. Every woman knows that lem pn juice Is used to bleach and remove buch blemishes as freckles. sallowness and tan and is the ideal skin softener. moothener and beautifier.
 Just try 1t! Get three ounces of orchard white at any pharmacy and two lemons from the grocer and make up a quarter pint of this sweetly frag- rant lemon lotion and massage it daily Into the face, neck arms and hands. It should naturally help to whiten, soften, freshen and bring out the roses and beauty of any skin. It is truly marvel pus to smoother rough, red hands. Adv.

which came oily twice week, but car ried delicacies of which Lucullus never dreamed.
 No, it's best to take no chances"
 There's the motor boat anyway. We could run over to the mainland"
 No, we couldn't" Lucille smiled. Father is the only one who can run it, and he won't be here until Sunday"
 Thus another ray of sunlight flicker ed out. A man of my build does not crank up marine engine located near the floor of boat. 1 might say he could not, but it is truer to say that he does not. If he is the least bit wise he does not even try it.
 m give the maid a week off" Lu- cile continued gayIy. AS we're not go ing to eat anything we shall not really need her, and she has been wanting to go home for some time. I'll let her go back with the supply boat. We'll begin our fasting tomorrow by going without breakfast"
 She consulted the magazine again. We have to drink plenty of good, pure water and think high thoughts all the time. and we'll hardly notice the ab- sence of food at all. Then next Mon day we'll break our fast by drinking the juice of an orange and eating a handful of popcorn, just one handful so as not to shock our digestive ap- paratus by introducing anything solid into 1t.
 But why harrow the reader with the rules and regulations which Lucille framed for us. Suffice it to say that they went into effect the next morning according to schedule.
 We met at breakfast. am never at my best before drink my first cup of coffee in the morning and the thought of the inhuman way l was about to treat my "tummie" depressed me more than usual The table was ghastly white, unbroken by the usual cheerful array of steaming hot dishes. At each place was large glass of water and a napkin. What the napkin was for failed to discover. imagine it was what the anthropologists would call "a survival of culture"
 We have tifty-cight five gallon bot ties of distilled water" Lucille in formed us. T wonder if that will be enough, It amounts to nearly a hun dred gallons apiece

RECALLED DAYS OF YOUTH
to the Almost Forgotten Fsscina- tion of Coasting.

Riverside drive on winter day with now everywhere aplenty.
 Between the drive and the river there are many places that make good noasting; there are short, gentle in elines that are nice for small children, and then there are longer. sleeper, more varied slides that suit the bigger boys better.
 At slide of the latter description halted father and mother with their six-year-old son. who had his sled along
 ''There's a good place" said father.
 ''Too steep, isn't it?' said son.
 "No. I'll show you"
 And with that his boyhood days coming back Ia him as he saw the boys sliding, father seated himself on the sled and a moment later away he went.
 Presently he was back again at the Bop of the hill ready for the next slide and from now on carrying his son.
 -It seems to be as much fun for you as if Is for John," the smiling mother said.
 "lt Is. l am going to buy q sled for myself tomorrow" said father-New York Times.

 One of her early spasms was Fletch- ersm: then she struck the nuts and berries idea. I was guest at her home the summer she tried both of these things out. If you are goirg to Fletch- crize. piece of old boot tastes just as good IS a steak, and it is more eeonom- ical. The adherents of the nuts and berries diet claim that 1t is a good food schedule because grizzly bears live on it. As far as l am concerned. being like grizzly bear is a doubtful advan- tage and, besides, 1 don't believe 1t is possible for bear to shell enough pea nuts to live on.
 Lucille called meeting to discuss ways and means.
 fIrSt or all, She sald, when the supply boat comes today we'll make them take back every edible thing they have brought, together with what we have on hand, so that we won't be tempted. Isn't it lucky our cottage is on an island all by itself so that it won't be possible for one of us to cheat by going to a hotel somewhere"
 Don't you think it would be a great CT victory for us If we conquered the demon food with some supplies within easy reachp I suggested, with pain full recollection of the supply boat
