WHAT EVERY WOMAN WANTS

Good looks! It's a new Woman, S
Home Companion department and
Grace Margaret Gould is writing 1t
and the March issue ushers it in:
"'Think for moment how the pref
test face you ever saw would look
without any hair! very often it is the
hair that does the whole trick. 1t
sofens and gives the right expression
Very often, too, we remember our
friends by their hair although we do
not realize it. In fact the hair is a
part of the costume and, like the cos
tune it is governed by fashion.
'"You can't wear an old fashioned
couture with new-fashioned gown
without looking absurd. Riglets and
straight severe lines don't go together
"But hair, even at its prettlest, is
raw material. There is really no SUCH
thing as sweet disorder in hair. 1t
has the habit of being disorderly IN
wrong and unexpected places, stick
ing up and flatening down just where
YOU don't want it to. Remember, II
YOU get your hair wrong you may
look like Betsy Bobbett."

THE PERFECT HOSTESS

Woman's Home Companion plans for
a model weekend for the hostess-of-
all-work.
enjoyment of the weekend visit
should come to the hostess as fully as
to the friends to whom she extends
he hospitality. Perhaps ont of weary
experiences some hostesses might like
to write a few heartfelt suggestions on
the thoughtlessness of guests; but this
article is concerned in showing the
hostess ways in which she can help
herself to have an easier time while
entertaining. Women famous for
their perfect cooking are in danger OF
losing the balance between require
ments for physical comfort and the
necessity of leisure and vitality for
companionship, play and intellectual
pleasure. There is little time for the
higher life if the housekeeper spends
most of the weekend in the kitchen.

be all over before your guests arrive"

GAMER PAYS FOR ITSELF

Many canning clubs organized by
the Department of Agriculture and
the State Colleges use hot-water-ba
Gamers in putting up fruit, vege-
tables, soup, and meats. Some clubs
hesitate to buy because of the ex-
pense. The Sheffield club, of Bureau
County, ILL.,, last summer found way
around the difficulty by buying can
ner and then renting it part of the
time to housewives in the neighbor-
hood at nominal charge. The bal
ance in the club treasury was not
lowered, and the club has on hand a
Gamer for work this summer. The
Sheffield club won the right by con-
test in its own locality to compete at
the State fair in Springfield Taking
the first prize there, the members
were sent as State Champions to the
interstate fair at Sioux City, Iowa, to
compete with other State teams.

BOARD OF HEALTH
COMMENDS WORK
GEORGIA PHYSICIANS

The patriotism of any people usual
ly rises to fever heat when their bor-
ders are threatened or broken by an
enemy nation. This is quite natural,
since the history of every was teach
es us that an invasion of ones coun-
try means the destruction of proper
ty, the wrecking of homes, and the
murder of loved ones.
To be loyal to our country during
an emergency is not sufficient. To be
prepared to fight is just as important
as to be willing. Preparation must
be made during days of peace, when
conditions are normal.
In it's fight against preventable dis
eases, the Georgia State Board of
Health has called upon all the citizens
of this commonwealth to lend their
cooperation, that we may be able to
stamp out such disease as tuberculo-
sis, typhoid fever, smallpox, bacillary
dysentery, and social diseases.
Those who have been asked to act
as captains of this vast army of dis
ease fighters are the Physicians. These
gentlemen have been in the midst of
a great battle against Influenza dur
ing the last six months. They have
not only denied themselves the pleas
ure Of life for the sake of humanity,
but have sacrificed many of their com
forts, that suffering might be relieved
and lives might be spared.
In addition to this surplus amount
Of work, this department has relied
upon the patriotic efforts of physi-
clans for numerous reports, which are
very necessary that the State Board
of Health may know the conditions
that exist and therefore, may be able
to lend it's aid. To these requests our
physicians have responded nobly, al
though complete reports are still lack
ing. The progress we are making is
encouraging and is greater than we
had expected.
The Bureau of Epidemiology, which
was established January 1st. is now
receiving about 100 reports each day.
these reports give the name of the
disease and the name and address of
the patient, thus enabling the bureau
to follow up with educational work,
where communicable diseases prevail.
The board wishes to thank the ply
sicians for these reports and wants
the citizens of the State to know how
patriotic these men have been in
promptly reporting contagious dis
eases.

by the Government made gay colors
impossible? Remember how she
taught us to make over our old cloth
es even before the Communicating by
the Government of wool and cotton
made a good many sorts of new
clothes impossible?
Fashion was patriotic because our
women were patriotic. Now she is
happy over victory just as our wo-
men are happy.
'There is nothing exuberant in the
way Fashion rejoices, either. While
celebrating the glad times, she still
remembers the sad times. There is
a shade of tenderness in all she sug-
gests, just as these feelings still live
in every woman's heart.
Fashion, too, has grown more SEN
sible, Just as women have. She and
they have been taught by experience,
and now have broader, deeper sense
of life. They do more, and what they
do is right"

GEORGE WASHINGTON'S
REPLY TO BAPTISTS

On August s, 1898, the United Bap-
fist Churches of Virginia addressed
a communication to President Wash
ington in which they expressed their
fear regarding the Constitution and
religious liberty. To which he re-
piled:
eff I could have entertained the
slightest apprehension that the Consti-
tuition framed by the convention
where l had the honor to preside
might possibly endanger the religious
rights of any ecclesiastical society, l
certainly would never have placed my
signature to it; and if l could now
conceive that the general government
might ever be so administered as to
render liberty of conscience insecure,
beg you will be persuaded that no
one would be more Jealous than my
self to establish effectual barriers
against the horrors of spiritual tyran-
ny and every species of religious per
secution. For, you doubtless remem-
Der, have often expressed my senti-
ments that any man conducting him
self as a good citizen and being ac-
countable to God alone for his religi-
Gus opinions, ought to be protected in
worshiping the Deity according to the
dictates of his own conscience" Gam
erican State Papers" p152.)

JINX PERSISTENT IN
NEVER SAY QUIT"

Have you ever seen jinx at work?
Maybe once or twice the jinx has
tried his malicious pranks on you.
But never has he been so consistently
wicked as in "Never Say Quit" the
William Fox comedy which will be
shown Saturday at The Strand.
George Walsh plays the hero in
this fun-packed picture. By no effort
can he dodge the bad luck which fol
lows him from the Friday on which
he was born.
Disaster always meets him with
open arms. Even in marriage he can
not find refuge from the crooks and
sharpers who steal his money on ad-
minister black eyes. Though his wife
is an angel of goodness he becomes
the unhappy father of triplets on FIJI
day the thirteenth.

Puryear. "We played basketball and
volley ball incessantlyEour space was
too small for baseball and football. ]

Paris, Feb THE steady unset
fishness of the American soldier,
shown by the way he cleaned his
pockets of money before going into
action, to be sent home if he didn't
come back, is told by w. J. Baker of
.Portchester, N. Y, who served eleven
months as Y. NJ c. A. worker with
the 26th Division. His particular
charge was the third battalion of the
1O3rd infantry. He joined that unit
on the st. Mihiel front, went with
them to Chateau Thierry, and later
was in the famous st. Mihiel cleanup
and the drive before Verdun.
at was just before that action be-
gan" said Baker, that l saw the finest
example of the characteristic unselfish-
ness of the boys. They cleaned their
pockets for the folks at home. They
knew they were going up against the
real thing, and they wanted all their
money to go home in case they never
came back. In all, l was entrusted
with 100000 francs upwards of

handled such funds through the regu-
lar Y. M. C. A. service established for

SOME DAY WILL BE ATTRACTION
 FOR TOURISTS
Secretary Lane Refers to the Katmai National Park in His Annual
 Report.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Those who
 have read the annual report of See
 retary Franklin K. Lane are certain
 that some time Alaska will out-rival
 all other parts of the world for draw ing tourists. Perhaps the greatest
 of these in time will be Katmai
 The creation of this section into a
 National Park is referred to in the
 report as follows:
 While, in so important war year, an overworked Congress naturally
 created no new National parks, the
 system was enriched by the enlarge ment of the Zion National Monument in Utah, formerly known as the Muk- untuweap National Monument, and the creation, also by Presidential proclamation, of the Katmai National Monument in Alaska. This monu-
 ment, which was so proclaimed Sep
 tember "A, 191S incloses the enor
 nous crater of Mount Katmai, whose explosion in June, 1912, was one of the very violent eruptions in vol canic history; and by neighboring
 Valley, named by the National Geo graphic Society, which sent four ex. ploring expeditions to the region,
 "The Valley of Ten Thousand
 Smokes" This Valley, together with
 continent Valleys, has many thou sands of steam vents, some of large size. It is a remarkable spectacle, and has special interest because it | is probably a coming geyser field. While geysers cannot be expected there until the earth cools for thou sands of feet below the surface, ! which may in fact take thousands of years, this group of valleys re- | mains not only a wonderful specta- | cle but an interesting hint of what | the famous geyscr basins of the Vel. lowstone National Park must once | have looked like hundreds or thou sands of years before man.
 | The explosion of Katmai left a crater of great size. It's circumfer- ence measured along the highest point of the rim is S4 miles. The area is 46 square miles. "The pre- cpitous abyss" writes Robert F. | Criggs, who explored it for the Ma tional Geographic Society, "is some what shorter, measuring 26 miles in length, 76 miles in circumference, and AZ square miles in area. The
 milky blue lake in the bottom is 1.4 miles long and nine-tenths of A mile wide, with an area of II square miles. The little crescent-shaped
 Island in tho lake measures 400 feet from point to point. The precipice from the lake to the highest point
 of the rim is 3,700 feet"

It is asserted that they were the first American women to enter Metz after the Germans left They had been summoned in haste from Paris by an American Red Cross physician, Dr. k. F.

 When the nurses arrived the Amer jeans were overjoyed and all wanted to talk to them at once. They had been virtually unattended for three days. Many of them were unshaven.

JAPAN'S ATTITUDE REGARDING PEACE GIVEN BY NUKAI
Statesman Declares That Japan Has No Territorial Ambition to Put
 Forward.

TOKYO, Jan. 3.-Japan's attitude at the Peace Conference should be one of disinterestedness as far as territorial gain is concerned, in the opinion of T. Inukai, the leader of the Kokuminto political party. The statesmen said the other day that Japan's actions hitherto have been liable to Understanding as pos. sibly actuated by territorial ambi tion, and Japan should seize the first opportunity to disabuse the world of any misapprehension.
 At the same time Dr. Inukai thought it desirable that the United States and other countries should freely open their doors for the ad mission of aliens, thus bringing up again question which in the past has caused considerable negotiations between the United States and Ja pan. With the worlds tendency to. ward forming republics it. would be necessary, he said, for the Japanese to carefully ponder over the future of their own country. Japan could prohibit the import of foreign books, but she could not prevent the influx of foreign ideas, dangerous or other wise.
