Soap and Your Skin
By Lima Caralieri
The Mosf Famous Living Beauty.

TN few things is nature more
generous than in the matter of
good compilations. Rare In
deed is the man or woman whose
skin in babyhood and early child,
hood was not positively beautiful
In its velvety smoothness. In fact.
nature seldom cheats any Of us in
the bestowal of soft, smooth, un-
blemished skin.
But 1t is the problem of retain
ing this precious dowry through
later life in something like its orig
NAL freshness and beauty that wor-
ries many women and not a few
men.
Many of us make the mistake of
blaming the soap we have been
using when something goes wrong
with the complexion. II is true
that sometimes when the slin is
unusually sensitive and the soap
used contains large amount of
alkali that the result is an unpIeas-
antly dry, rough, chapped condition
OF the complexion. In most cases,
however, complexion troubles are
due to the failure to use soap prop
erly rather than to the soap itself.
Perhaps You do not rub the soap
into your skin in the right way to
produce the desired results. If for
some reason or other you have per-
mitted blackheads to clog up your
skin, then make a lather of the
soap rubbing it In vigorously and
if necessary with the aid of skin
brush. If in addition to removing
blackheads you want to rid the
skin of .pimples you should first
steam the face.
To do this effectively. apply hot
cloths to the face until it is red
dened. Then make lather of
soapsuds on a washcloth and rub
it into the pores Of the skin. The

~ ECENTLY I wrote an article
n advocating the eight-hour day
4 - for houseworkers, and sug-
gesting that every worker have
free Sunday. This article brought
much criticism, and many women
rose up ,to smite me, saying that
Sunday was the hardest day in
the week." and that they didn't see
how 1t could be made different!
Now, let US see IL 1t cannot be
made different. Must Sunday be
such "hard dayT Is there not
some way to lessen the amount of
Sunday work?
Surely, In the first place, If clean
ing has been well done on Saturday
or Friday, there need be no clean
ing on the one day set apart for
rest. Ii everyone makes his or her
own bed, and hangs up his cloth
ing, no hired person or mother viii
be required to pick up" either. So
there remains only the cooking to
dispose Of.
In most households, Saturday is
wisely a baking day. II this is so,
why not plan to cook enough of the
right foods so that cooking on SUM-
day Is reduced to zero? Let us
start with the typical Sunday din
ner Of roast, vegetables and des-
sert, so popular on this day.
Perhaps we win use canned
soup; or, surely, IL we make soup
the day before 1t can stand ready
to heat the necessary few moments

The vegetable which makes the
most trouble is potatoes. They are
not good cooked the day before un-

fore. The lettuce, cress, endive or
whatever the green base of our
salad, may be cleaned, picked over,
washed, twisted into a damp towel

instantly. The other ingredients
may often be cleaned and cut and
left in a covered bowl, with the
dressing also mixed and ready to
use in moment. Merely to COM
bine the ingredients OF the salad
takes only about five minutes.
Last, the dessert-how can We
make it a workless dish? Most
easily! | venture to say that there
are at least fifty-two desserts which
can be made the day before and
which taste as delicious as any
dessert made the morning of Sum-
day. How about all kinds Of pie.
"open-face" and otherwise, which
are part of Saturdays baking?
Then there is all the custard and
cornstarch and tapioca tribe
made in molds small or large and
left to form over night. The same
with the countless gelatine des-
serts which need the overnight
chill to set them.
There seem to remain only the
hot puddings. And II we must
have them, they, too, can be made
nearly workless! II we insist on
hot pudding we can prepare on
Saturday any one of the numerous
steamed puddings, and after it is
done leave it in the same dish or
steamer In which 1t was cooked.
Then make the sauce separately.
On the noon of Sunday, while
starting other reheating, place this
pudding steamer on the stove and
let 1t warm thoroughly through.
Heat the sauce in its own small
saucepan, and, presto, even such a
dessert is nearly workless.

dishes. All these are much better
for a second heating. The pot
roast can be. entirely cooked and
left in its gravy and it will require
no watching when 1t is time to
warm it through for the Sunday
meal.
Now, as to vegetables. Possibly
we may care to use only canned
vegetables for Sunday. This means
the least possible work, and as we
use some canned vegetables in
Winter anyway-either the bought
kind or those we have put up our
selves-it will be an easy matter
to open can and heat for few
moments. If, however, fresh yege-
tables are desired they can easily
be prepared on Saturday and left
in their sauce or in butter in pan
to be warmed.

I may say at the outset that the
secret of this kind of secondhand
cooking, is to prepare the food en-
tirely as far as possible, and keep
in it's Serving dish, or in enamel or
glass saucepans or dishes until
time to reheat. The necessary
amount of soup, for instance, after
being completely made on Satur-
day, can be poured into an enamel
saucepan, ready to place at once on
the stove. Better, still, 1t may be
poured into casserole or mar
mite" which can later be put in the
oven, just before serving. Either
of these methods entirely settles
the soup question.
Next for the roast-beef, mutton
or pork. Is there any reason why
this cannot be cooked on Saturday
while the worker is in the kitchen,
while the oven is on, and while 1t
can be given the utmost care in

prejudice. If we eat hot or cold

cooked on Saturday?

The man who never gets out of sight of the tall buildings, as well as the man who has yet to see city sky scraper, should be a booster for better roads. Highways are used in transport ing practically every article of food at some stage in its journey to the consum- CTS table. Bad roads add to the cost of transportation, but good roads cut mar keting costs.
 From the time when farm products were first hauled in wagons to markets there has been an interest in better roads a means of reducing the cost of trans portation, but improved highways mean more now because of the extensive use of motor trucks in hauling products from the farm to the railroad station or direct to the city markets. Trucks are not only replacing horse transportation but in many cases they are supplementing and even doing the work of railroads. In fact, motor trucks offer solution of mod ern transportation problems, but roads built only for horse-drawn vehicles or light machines will break down under heavy motor traffic.
 Maintenace of thousands of miles of roads so that the enormous government and commercial truck traffic of the past two years could move has taxed the abili- ties and called forth every energy and plan on the part of highway officials. In many states officials found themselves without sufficient funds to handle prop erly the repair and rebuilding work neces- sary. Nearly all of them had to struggle under the handicap of an insufficient labor supply and all had to meet the in creased cost of labor and material

Free Poultry Primer

Telling the essential points in poultry raising chiefly by pictures is accomplished by the illustrated Poultry Primer" a new Farmers Bulletin (No. 10+0), just is- sred by the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D, C., a free copy of which can be had for the writing.
 The contents include descriptions of the more popular breeds and practical helps in selecting, matching, feeding, housing and marketing fowls, and in controlling pests and diseases. The bulletin con- tains 2s pages and 53 pictures, covering the entire range of subjects
 The departments poultry specialists urge the beginner to keep only one breed or variety of fowls, and insist that the male bird at the head of the flock should be standard bred. A bird of that class at the head of even a mongrel flock will
 improve the quality greatly in few generations, with resulting uniformity ana increased value of the products.
 One of the most valuable features of the bulletin is the description of feeding for egg production graphic illustration shows the number of eggs a good hen will produce, in proportion to the feed she eats, when the ration is properly mixed Practical devices, such as feed ing hoppers and trap nests, are discussed and illustrated, and other points of in- terest are presented in a way that the reader should not easily forget

 The taxpayers of the county, state ana federal government, from which three sources are drawn the funds maintaining the above work, should be interested in a resume of what is being done in Talla- dega county, particularly in the home demonstration department. The follow ing is part only of what was achieved last season, and should be considered in the light of all the deterrng influences incident to the world war and a nation wide epidemic.
 In the one-tenth of an acre experiments, 290 girls enrolled, only S1 conforming fully to all the conditions and making their final reports.
 The value of their products aggregated SIT. 60; the average cost to produce was s 301; the average cost of canning was s4 A; and the average profit was $10.S6.
 Myra Coleman of Talladega county, route ?, gained the first prize, having produced from one-tenth acre 1865 pounds of tomatoes at a net profit of S73.30 or at the rate of $733 an acre.
 The second prize went to Johnnie May McWiliams of Chandlers Spl ings for having raised beans and tomatoes to the amount of $40, or on a basis of $400 an acre. These are not profits, all eX- penses, including rent of land, fertilizers. their own labor, etc, being taken from the gross income and leaving these sums as net rewards for their diligence and brains.
 While the foregoing relates specifically to one-tenth acre products, incidental to this these club girls saved farm and orchard products much of which would have wasted, to the following amounts: Peaches $500 quarts; apples, 23OO quarts; corn, 700 quarts; preserves of various kinds, 11S0 quarts; jellies. 56o glasses. All of which totalled about $1S19. Of course, it is folly to limit these re- suits to the dollars and cents totals. Directly connected with this great work
 is the far more important one of home building, which takes in better living conditions. sanitation and good health W wholesome food well prepared; common sense and economy in expenditures; better house furnishing at less cost: beautifying the home and it's surroundings; in short,

the restrictions on the supply and trans portation of materials which had to be brought from a distance. None escaped the difficulties which followed the great and rapid increase in traffic at this coun- try's entrance into the war From New England to the Pacific coast new de- mands were made upon the highways, and unusual conditions develepod everywhere in maintenance and construction In sev- eral states high type roads, which had originally been constructed without sui
 icient foundation to meet the new de- mands, had to be rebuilt, and part Of this construction work was carried on while the heavy traffic was kept moving.
 The extensive use of motor trucks for transportation during war time has em- phasized the possibilities of well-built roads as a means of marketing farm and other products. Solving road problems when there was a constant procession or heavily loaded trucks travelling over them has been great lesson to road officials, which will be put to good use in peace times.
 The federal aid road building pro- gramme for this year is the most stu pendous in the history of the world- The expenditures for road construction for the year are likely to reach $5OO, ,OO0,0O. Plans have been made for the construction oi continuous highway systems, the states through which the highways are to pass cooperating with each other as never be-

 ments These trucks, about 10000 in num-
 Der, have been declared surplus by the
 war department, and all that the states
 must do to acquire them is to pay the loading and freight charges. The trucks range in capacity from two to five tons | Il 600 of them are new, and all are de- clared to be in serviceable condition. They will be apportioned to the states only upon request of the state highway de- pa artments on the basis of a request re- ceived from the respective states with the apportionment provided in the federal aic law approved in 1916. The requirements
 of the law are such that none of the
 trucks will be distributed to counties ol | individuals.
 Further interest in the nationwide need
 for goods roads is shown by the fact that shortly before the last session Of Con gress adjourned that body made an ex'
 tra appropriation, of $209. 900, 900 in the post
