RED GROSS MISSION
 AT ALBANIA

SaIoniki, April 25 - (Correspond- ence of The Associated Press)-Some of the more amusing human inter- est'' incidents of the activities of the American Red Cross nurses and field workers during the repatriation of Greeks deported into Bulgaria during the war are related by Lieut.. A. $. Beden, in charge of the American Red Cross relief stations in Macedonia and Bulgaria.
 we came into Bulgaria on Ger man freight car" says Lieutenant BedeII in his report. This Red Cross car was the first car of the first train that ran from Serres to Saloniki after the armistice and it was with the Red Cross from the time we entered Bull garia until we returned to Greece.
 "On the trip out of Bulgaria we had one iron bed and two camp cots. One Red Cross man slept on a crate of biscuit tins, the bed being de- mountabIe to furnish five chairs by day. The Red Cross man turned over freuuently in the night, bringing dis cord from the tins but despite our protests at his noisy mode of sleep ing. he declared he had a 'rattling good bed
 "Firewood was obtainable along the route and we were able to use our woodstove after cutting hole in the side of the. car for the stove pipe.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-05-06

Liquid food proved our only difficulty. It was impossible to boil even half an inch of water on the stove when the car was in motion. We had a real American coffee grinder. The coffee beans were put in a clean sock and one of the men to the tune of 'Yan- kee Doodle would crush the beans with a hammer.
 When chicken was wanted for din- ner one of the party would go out with half 8 cup of sugar in hand, wander about the village until he saw a likely chicken which he would thereupon seize. The native woman who made the most outcry was pre- sumed to be the owner and usually was glad to accept the half cup of sugar in exchange. Our much ma ligned ration of bully beef proved to be acceptable also.
 "Bartering was the order of the day at all stations. A slice of bread would obtain three shines, fill large water jar or attract a carriage of supplies. During our last afternoon in Dedegatch, on the Aegean Sea, we had the use of horse and wagon all afternoon, in order to return borrow ed furniture, for the payment of one tin of bully beef
 The fame of American Red Cross relief stations spread throughout Bull garia to such an extent that other Red Cross workers and British and French officers, including two French l generals, sought-us out in passing te

Don't forget that the woman who smiles will have a skin more free from wrinkles than the woman who frowns. When wrinkles begin to ap- pear it is a good plan to lbathe the face once a day for awhile in harm less solution made by dissolving an ounce of powdered saxolite in half pint of witch hazel
 This is remarkably effective in eras- ing the hateful lines. not only because of it's astringent action which tightens the skin and thus irons out the lines, but also because of a helpful tonic eff feet which improves capillary circula,- ton and nerve tone.
