Pale,
saIIOW skins
WC naV steam treatment
for them

If your skin is pale and colorlsss, try this new
steam treatment for it. Steam penetrates the
skin in a way water alone cannot do. 1t
enables you to cleanse thoroughly the pores
that have become clOgged, to stimulate in
active blood vessels and give the skin new
color.
To make your skin soft and eolurful, one
night week fl your bowl full of hot water
almost boiling hot. Bend over the top of the
bowl and cover your head and the bowl with a
heavy bath towel so that no steam can escape.
This opens the pores wide, stimulates the tiny
blood vessels of the face and brings the blood to
the surface.
Now lather a hot cloth with Woodbury's
Facial Soap. With this, wash your face thor.
oughly, rubbing the lather well into the skin in
an Upward and outward motion Then rinse the
skin well, first with warm water then with cold,
and finish by rubbing it for thirty seconds with
piece of ice. This closes the pores and makes
the skin firm in texture
The very first time you use this Woodbury.
steam treatment, your skin will begin to show
more color. The other six nights Of the week.

there Will be few that have not given
up those luxuries to the hungry in
Vaoer. the soup, made of fermented
meal in water, the occasional mutton,

hard to get, even for those who can

nlgh Impossible. In the poorer homes
even "mojdei'-crushed garlic with
salt and water-will be very scarce.
The English and the French and
the Italians have 12O,OO0,OOO people
on rations and they are doubtless un-
happy under that restraint, but few
in those countries are suffering as are
the Armenians or those in Syria who
have felt the hands of the Turk.
Many of them have known good
living in days before the war but now
they have been driven far from their
homes, homes where they had rice and
olives, grapes-the greatest of luxur-
les to dwelfer in the East, and all
the luscious fruits that dried on the
fiat roof in the sun. They have wan
dered through the deserts and some
OF them have come to Jerusalem. But
Palestine, too, and all Syria are short
of food supplies and a spoonful of
lentil soup or a handful of ripe olives
is received with heartfelt gratitude.
There is a PEASANTS proverb in
Palestine that if wife should say to
her husband, II know not what to
cook for dinner" he should divorce
her, for there are always new ways to
cook an eggplant. There is grim
humor now in that saying, for only
the Syrian wife who can find new
ways of cooking over again the same
scant supply of vegetables can hope
to vary the menu of her family.
Balkans Face Famine.
In the starvation map of the food
administration, these Asiatic territor-
les are marked as suffering from
serious food shortage while Rumania
is marked as approaching the starva-
ton point and some of the Balkan
states are marked with the dead black
that means famine.
The American Red Cross is sending
into these Balkan states every kind Of
food that can be safely transported
and economically purchased. The
Rumanian peasant is being taken care
of as far as is possible with good
American beef, with dehydrated vege-
tables, with beans and barley, figs
and -four, oatmeal and rice. Molasses
and sugar have been sent in quanti-
ties as well as chocolate in cooking
bars and in vanilla favored slabs such
as are common to the patrons Of
American drug stores and have become
the solace of soldiers all over the
world. Besides the beef packed sar-
dimes and salmon have been sent in
large quantities. Fat has been pro-
vided in lard and butter and in pork
Tea and coffee, particularly coffee,
have been urgently needed and plenti-
fully supplied. 1t is difficult to send
fruit, but dried apriots and prunes as
well as preserves go as far as possible
to meet the need
Altogether the diet which the Red
Cross is giving to the people whom it
is helping in the Balkans and other
starving regions is the sort that an
American would consider simple and
satisfactory. Out of American plenty
a short is being given to save, if pos
sible, a few of the lives that famine
and disease have undermined and
threaten now to eXtinguish.

RETAINING FLAVOR IN MEAT
Sometimes Partially Accomplished by
Soaring Exterior, Preventing
Escape of Juices.

prepared by the United statSs Depart
ment of Agriculture}
It is extremely difficult to retain the
fiavor-giving qualities in piece of
meat so tough as to require prolonged
cooking. It is sometimes partially ac-
compIished by first soaring the ex-
terror of the meat and+thus preventing
the escape of the juices. Another way
is to let them escape into the gravy
which is served w.t. the meat itself,
illustrated In the following recipe for
round steak on biscuits:
Cut round steak into pieces about
one-half inch square, cover with water
and cook at a temperature just below
the boiling point until it is tender, or
boil for five minutes, and while still
hot put into fireless cooker and leave
it for five hours. Thicker the gravy
with flour mixed with water, allowing
two level tablespoonfuls to a cup of
water. Pour the meat and gravy over
split baking-powder biscuits, so baked
that they have large amount OF
crust.

A. r. Hawley, president Of the Aero
club, told in New York the ether day
an inefficiency story.
Beware of the inefficient man." he
said, ''for if you have dealings with
him it is you, not he, that will suffer
from the inefficiency.
"a foreigner in outlandish garb,
claiming to be an Armenian, came
here to solicit funds last year for his
compatriots. 1t happened that another
Armenian was arrested at the time,
and the first chap was asked. to so to
court and act as his interpreter.
"WelI, he reluctantly consented to
act, though the truth was that ne knew
no Armenian whatever. Anyhow he
stalked into the courtroom, listened in
grave silence to the prisoners passion
ate protestations Of innocence, and
then turned to the judge and said in
q low voice:
"'Your honor, ny compatriot has
confessed all. He begs you, however,
to be Ienient for suffering Armenia's
sake
'aThe Judge thanked the interpreter
warmly for his services and then sem
fenced the innocent prisoner to five
years at hard labor"
