HOw American Women
May Keep Faces Young

"The American smart woman ages early,
far earlier thai the English woman" says
Christian Miller, F. c. l., the famous
English health expert. She adds that our
climate so exhilarates that you over
exert yourselves and grow old before you
know it. That same celebrating air dries
the skin. The skin that lacks moisture
grows pale and withered looking and soon
forms wrinkles.
1.-THE American complexion" is best treat
causes the faded. lifeless cuticle to flake
off in minute particles, q little each day,
until the fresh, young skin beneath is
wholly in evidence. Every druggist has
this wax; one ounce usually is sufficient.

Pumpkin Pies the Year Round

A mere man asked me the other
day, why doesn't the housewife
make pumpkin pies in the spring
when fresh eggs are cheapest?"
Why, indeed?
The fact is we are, creatures OF
habit, and are inclined to follow
traditions in our cooking. Our
foremothers made pumpkin pies in
the fall because the pumpkins are
ripe at that time. She continued
the pies through the cold weather
as long as she could keep pumpkins
in her cool cellar. Thanksgiving
and Christmas dinners always in
cluded pumpkin pie. The pumpkin
supply was exhausted about this
time, and therefore no more pump
kin pies were possible until the
next autumn.
Times have changed. Now we
have the pumpkin in sanitary cans
all ready for the pie, and we can
use it at any time we please. Pump
kin takes the place of fruits, which
are already scarce and likely to be-
come more scarce as time goes on.
The springtime is the time for
pumpkin pies-eggs and milk are
then most plentiful, and, therefore,
cheap. II. is the time for custards.
Our ,grandmothers established that
custom, too. Pumpkin pie is, after
all, custard in which the pumpkin
pulp predominates, therefore, be-
longs by right in the spring and
summer.
This is just one more instance in
which we should drop the traditions
which are outgrown and adopt a
custom suited to our times.
Our family is sure to be, surprised
to find the lucious pumpkin pie
served for dessert, and undoubtedly,
like Oliver Twist, they will ask for
more,

zap AND ITS PEOPLE
Interesting Facts About the Little
Pacific Island.
Food, Drink and Clothes All Obtained
From Trees-Men Have
Bachelor Clubs.

Washington.-Since the little island
of zap was mentioned the other day
at the White House conference be-
tween the president and senate for
eign relations committee, there has
been a general demand for information
about this former German possession,
which the American navy wants for
a cable and wireless station.
According to the National Geograph-
ic society it is the westernmost of the
western Caroline islands, is situated
about 500 miles southwest of Guam
and 500 miles east of the island of
Mindanao of the Philippine group. It
has a population Of about 1000.
zap is strangely old and strangely
up to date. Its inhabitants are still in
the stone age of progress. The natives
are strict prohibitionists. Bachelor
clubs closed to the women dot the
islands. Food and drink and clothes
all grow on trees. In zap wealth is
truly a burden. A single coin of their
stone money sometimes weighs hun
dreds of pounds. zap, or Jap, when
translated, means the land, and is the
only land that many of the islanders
know.
Married and unmarried men alike
belong to the club, which maintains a
fine failu, or bachelor house, the host
ess of which must be secured by force
or cunning from some distant tribe.
There she lives under n polyandrOus
system where no man becomes ieal-
Gus and the wives of the village never
object to their husbands evenings at
the club.
The chief decoration of the male is
a string of pink shells made into a
necklace, and since no nan is rich
enough to own such a treasure the
best ones are loaned out for such a
period as the wearer may choose to be
dressed in the height of fashion. As
there are no button holes, the mar
may wear two bouquets in each ear, a
