HEART AND BEAUTY

BIZ MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: What makes
the skin oily? am healthy, but 1
have a greasy-looking skin.
A. H. K. L.
For oily skin Danish all rich and
greasy food as diet has great in
fluence on the condition of the skin.
Wiping off the face occasionally
with diluted alcohol CTS per cent
strength) is beneficial in the case of
an oily Skin.
A few drops of ammonia or a
pinch of borax in the water with
which the face is washed is also
helpful
Oily skin is usually the result of eat
ing too rich foods.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl
twelve years old. / have three sisters
older than am who go with fellows
and want me to. There are five boys
living right in our neighborhood who
want me to go with them. My parents
do not object. What shall I do?
BLUE EYES.
You are altogether too young to go
with boys. Play with girls few
years longer in the normal way. II
Is not customary for twelve-year- old
girls to go with boys. OF course II
the girls and the boys in your neigh
borhood play your games together

DOROTHY DIX TALKS
BY DOROTHY DIX
worlds Highest Paid weman writer.
The superfIuous GIRL.


There is no more pathetic figure
than that of the superfluous girl.
BY ''superfllous girl'' I mean the
young woman who belongs to a rich,
or well-to-do family and who at
thirty, plus, is still hanging upon the
parent bough; who is strong and ac-
tive of brain and strong and active
of body, OVERLOOKING with energy and
ability, but who finds herself useless.
and purposeless in life.
There seems to be no place in all
the world for her. No one really
needs her. She has nothing to do ex-
cept to kill time, which is the drear-
lest occupation ever devised by the
Father of Evil.
She can't find employment in help
ing mother with the housekeeping for
the very sufficient reason that mother
won't let her. Mother is herself still
manage her own affairs, and what's
more, determined to do it. The jeal-
Gus Turk. who brooks no rival near
the throne, isn't a marker to, a
woman's jealousy about having any
other woman interfering with the way
she runs her establishment.
Especially is she determined not to
have her daughter poking her finger
into her domestic pie, because no
mother ever realizes that her own
little girl ever grows up into being a
woman with judgment and intelli-
gence enough to know how to make
a cake without being told just how
many eggs and how much sugar TO
put in. Therefore, the daughter at
home, unless mother becomes an in
valid or grows senile, is about as
much real use as a fifth wheel to a
| wagon.
| For a girl whose father maintains
! her in the lap of luxury to go out
and get a Job horrifies her family,
and brings upon her the reproach of
/ being eccentric and queer, than which
i there is no more damning reputation.
| And nobody, least of all her parents,
considers the poor girls point of view.
or ask themselves how they would
| like to live life without single
real live interest in it; how they would
like to sit with idle hands that were
simply itching to do worth while con-
| structive work; how they would like
to be a perpetual infant without the
| independence, or freedom of an adult
no matter how old they might grow.
For that is the case of the daughter
who stays at home. A woman only
cuts the parental leading strings and
achieves independence by getting
married, or going to work and. max

OUR BILLS RECEIvARIE.

Much has been said since the open
ing of the new congress regarding just
what shall be done with the loans
which the United States has made to
foreign countries during the war.
Shall the United States forget them
and not ask that they be paid? Will
other loans be made on the same ba-
sis or shall payment be demanded in
due course of time? These are some
of the questions which have been pro-
pounded.
There are those who seem to think
that the United States should forego
asking payment of this money but the
majority appears to feel that such an
attitude would not only be undignified
and unbuslnesslike but ''mushy," to
repeat the term used by one represen-
tative on the floor of the house.
With regard to this situation Frank
A. Vanderlip, president of the National
City bank of New York made the fol-
lowing observation: There is a dis
tinct feeling in France and England
that it would be just thing for us to
forego asking the repayment of the
large amount OF money We have
loaned" When asked upon what the
Dry he replied: THAT theory is vari-
ously expressed. Generally, I think II
is that We came into the war pretty
late; that we ought to take a very
full share of the financial burden, be-
cause the situation has become so des-
perate for those nations that came
into the war early and bore the full
brunt of the war and the financial
burdens entailed by it." whereupon
Senator Knox asked: I'VE are not
getting any territory or any repara-
tions. are we?'' None whatever" re-
piled Mr.. Vanderlip. DO you not
think that is pretty fair offset to
what they owe us?" was Senator
Knox's rejoinder. to which Mr.. Van
derlip replied: IT am not advocating
this statement of the duty, you un-
derstand. 1 think this sentiment is
increasing. and I think therefore it is
doubtful If the debt ought to be. in
creased In the face of that sentiment. "
The people generally, perhaps will
be inclined to size with the view OF
Senator Knox. There is a distinct
feeling that the United States has dons
enough for the allies without making
them a present OF $40 600 600 400

Spending interest is not thrift. In
terest is money paid on money saved.
To save money by investing it in a
good security is judicious saving. To
save the interest by reinvesting 1t in
equally good security is rare wisdom.
The interest on liberty bonds comes
without effort, to the bond holders. 1t
is handed to them by the government
virtually as a gift. At the same time
the government offers to these bond
holders an opportunity to reinvest
these interest coupons in thrift stamps
and war savings stamps at even better
rates of interest and thereby to gain
interest on interest.

Information has reached the head
quarters of the Savings division, Tenth
federal reserve district, that persons
are engaged in trafficking in war saw
inss stamps, by taking advantage OF
the owners financial necessities and
paying less than the cash value of the
stamps. This is clearly a violation OF
the law of the United States and per-
sons engaged in such traffic are liable
To fine or Imprisonment, or both.
War savings stamps and certificates
are not negotiable. Where the holder
is in dire need OF money he can cash
in his stamps by applying at his post
office. giving ten days written notice
and receive face value with per cent
interest added. Why should any one
want to sell to a third party?
