The question has been asked why
the Red Cross does not undertake the
relief work in the Near East that is

The Red Cross found the machinery
of relief already at work In the Near
East-the missionaries, who know the
people and speak their languages, and
all official representatives of the Unit
ed States had been organized by the
American Committee for Armenian
and Syrian Relief.
Channels Of distribution were well
established. And the Red Cross asked
the committee to carry on all relief

The Care of the Cuticle

You have undoubtedly noticed unsightly. overlapping cuticle growing around the nails, and have wondered how this overhanging cuticle growing around the base could be removed without injury. The cuticle protects the base of the nail and the old- fashioned and injuriouS method of cutting and scraping removes both the dead and healthy cuticle, leaving the delicate base un- protected. This very often causes soreness or even infection; besides. cutting the cuti- cle makes it very hard and callous. Over growing, ragged cuticle should be removed. Cuticle Remover. This instantly softens it that the dead, overgrowing skin may be easily removed with your manicure stick.
 Being a physician and chemist l have made exhaustive research for preparation that contains no acid and is perfectly harm less, to dead cuticle safely and quickly. The result of my work is the re- nowned Simplex Cuticle Remover. I have also perfected other Simplex Manicurng Preparations for home use. Simplex Nail Whitener for whitening and bleaching the nail tips Simplex Nail Polish in cake pas ste or powder form for giving the nails a quick and lasting luster Simplex Manicuring Preparations are inexpensive and sold at all first-class toilet goods counters.

The inclination toward the backless bodice and the use of flesh-colored net over the skin is observed in America, although the buyers were shocked at it in Paris.

oHOChSU at u HI I
 Paris, October 5.-The house of Jenny is credited with having started the back q less bodice and there is no doubt of the Kfact that she continues it. Her manne- quins swirl around the salons of her Champs Elysees house with minimum of drapery above the waist and if they adopt any drapery at all, it is for the front, and not the back of the figure.
 One woman said to another when view ing this exhibition: '1'll wager that you can't copy the back of the bodice of this gown, with all @gour skill at drapery" The other woman, keyed up at this chal- lenge to her talent, was about to assert that she could do anything in the way of bodice, when~ the mannequn ss%rled around and displayed the most perfect hack that never was made by q dress maker She wore nothing above the belt; in truth, she ran the belt further down than the actual waistline. The, tiny front of her bodice was kept up by 8 harness of jewelled beads that wrapped itself twice around the arms
 The actresses delight in the backless bodice and it is put down by many as purely a theatrical style; yet all of us remember that there were certain young matrons in New York society who adopt ed it last spring at dances
 The thing in itself, therefore, is not 8 startling innovation. It's direct influence on other bodices is what counts. All new fashions are exaggerated in the begin ning in order to draw attention to them selves, and those who insist that certain styles will not be accepted do not real ize that they are mer1y congregations Of a large and powerful movement in clothes that is bound to occur.
 For instance, the public may not ac- eept the backless bodice as it stands in

Somtimes, on a day when there

those little cubs deserved a good des-

So Aunt Matilda let her little pri-

and buzzing. She put in her great

great piece of honey comb, and the

Aunt Matilda stood up high and
held the honey out of reach and
those two little bears had to jump

lesson that she thought they must
have a recess. She found an old
dead tree, and tore off the bark and
picked out the white grubs and
showed each cub how to find their
lunch.
A big ant hill about three feet high
was close by, and Aunt Matilda
would put in her huge paw and claw
out a handful and eat up the run

would do exactly as she did. Now
you know that bears like ants very
much, They have sour taste and
bears consider them as pickles. So
You see that those bears had really
