cox. In making this announcement,
he pointed out, however, that no per-

attractive savings investment which
money can make. These certificates
have many features which commend
them to savers or investors" Post
master Wilcox said.
"Their maturity value is 800;
their price is now $500 each. When
sold, they are automatically regis
tered at Washington in the buyers
name and his name is indelibly in
scribed on them. They are safe in
every way from loss, fire or theft.
In case the certificate should be lost,
or accidentally destroyed, the regisS
tration feature viii prevent the own
er from losing anything.
They bear a good rate 9f inter-
est-4 per cent compounded every
80 days, and they are demand paper.
One can always cash them for the
purchase price, plus earned interest
There are no ifs snd tands about
this; the law requ that Fsy IN
crease III value every month.
"As the supply of the certificates
at the postoffice he1e is limited, only
a limited number will be sold; how
ever, we will arrange to take care
of any one here so that he will be
sure to get one of these certificates
for $780,"

Perfecting a
Complexion
By Brice Belden, M. D.

THE idea that unsightly skin
eruptions upon the face can
be cured by the application
of some magical lotion or salve has
no foundation.
As a matter of fact, practically
all of the powders, lotions. and oint-
ments do more harm than good.
Fierce assaults are made upon the
delicate inteEument OF the face,
and no attention is paid, as a rule,
to a number OF apparently unrc.
lated but most important things
which have to be considered II the
skin is to be cleared. The con
centration of all ones efforts upon
the face itself accomplishes moth

Of oxygen into the system. without

The diet must be rational. Fried
food, pastries, and sweets in excess
must be eliminated.
In securing a sufficiency OF fresh
air one also gets the benefit OF
those rays OF the sun which directly
prompts skin health.
Exercise is an essential part D

In tho light OF the foregoing re-
marks 1t Is quite obvious why the
efforts OF so many people to beau.
tify their faces fall They do not
exercise. do not battle regularly, do
not regulate their diet, do not get
sufficient fresh air, and are afraid
OF the effects OF sunshine. To them
the whole problem seems to rcvolvo
around the direct treatment OF
pimples.
Anything which improves tho
general health helps TO increase re-

Good food and proper hours OF rest

1t Is so cold and rainy. l have

We have been in this place. two
hundred miles southwest of Paris,
for three weeks and five days. and
have only had five days OF real
sunshine. i think the continual
cannonading at the front, brings
the rain down. i believe that is n
fact that explains why we always
used to have a rain before mid
night. as a rule, on Fourth OF July.
We had three weeks of lombard
ment and air raids in Paris and
then came here. We were doing
interesting work with interesting
people in Paris, for the war, and
hated to leave. But here we also
find things to do. An American
hospital here has many wounded
men and we visit them and write
letters for them: and I'VE also go
to the cantecns and help serve food
to the soldiers. l have found much
to write about and have written a
lot of poems and several prose ar
ticles which you will probably see.

~ERHAPS there is nothing one
remembers with such acute
pleasure in adult says as the
May party OF childhood. This is
especially true il the May party has
been we'll managed.
Just now one has a wonderful OPP
portunity to impress upon the
young mind the principal events of
the recent conflict in the form Of II
May day pageant or series OF
pageants. Every mother knows how
very tired little ones become at
picnic or house party where their
play is undirec pa And the woman
who would pro- ent this might think
about the pageant. The events So
lected. OF course, will necessarily
have to be brought within the
mental scope OF the children who
attend. And mothers considering
such a party might help themselves
considerably by consulting the
local school teacher.
Having selected suitable subjects,
the next step Of interest to the
homemaker is the execution of the
costumes. These should be very
simple yet sufficiently well con-
structed to avoid the danger of
tearing or being married easily.
Crepe paper is delightful for cos
TUNES, especially IL IL is properly
mounted or cambria.
One little girl in the May day fetc
might represent each Of our allies.
Boys might be chosen to represent
soldiers OF each nation fighting to
preserve civilization. Then there
wf1l be Uncle Sam and the Red
Cross nurse and the salvation Army
girl and Miss Victory.
II the May party is a ncishbor-
hood affair, one woman might he
placed in charge OF a definite num-
Der OF children. Children as well as
the older folks might be given the
chance to help make the May pole,
the crowns and the other acceso-
ries.
The procession should start 10

ing. Arrangements should be made
to have tho children return before

turns in disorder because tho chill

II the meal is TO be taken about
noon, those in charge OF the re-
freshments should provide some
substantial dishes. The sandwich
is very convenient method of
serving food away from the table.
But the sandwich, alas. is one of
the badly abused conveniences.
Properly made, it may provide
variety of substantial bits OF re-
freshments. Sandwich bread should
be close grained, have square slices
and be one day old. Trim the crusts
off before slicing. Cream the but
ter until it is soft. Spread the
butter before cutting the slice from
the loaf. II the knife is heated be-
fore being used, 1t is less apt to
crumble the bread.
Cream cheese. also called cottage
cheese, combined with a few finely
chopped olives and walnuts makes
a delicious as well as a most nour-
ishing sandwich filling. Chicken or
ham, put through the food chopper
and moistened with mayonnaise also
make delicious sandwich filings.
Hard-cooked egg finely chopped and
mixed with a little mayonnaise and
shredded lettuce makes an excel
lent filling. Sandwiches may be
made the evening before and wrap
ued in damp napkins and packed
In the firelcss. Waxed paper is
also excellent for wrapping any
article OF the luncheon.
Cakes baked in specially treated
paper cups arc more convenient
than cut cake. Only perfect speci-
mems OF fruit should be taken.
Needless TO say, bananas or very
soft fruit or berries should be omit
ted. And don't forget paper cups
for drinking. If arrangements have
been made for serving ice cream,
paper spoons and plates will be
found inexpensive and most con-
venicnt.

but the change that came across his
face warned her to finish her SEN
tence with, "I mean, / am not in
very good voice today"
II don't care" he retorted. "Sing
to me, please, darling"
Slowly she crossed the room TO
the piano. What could she sing!
What was the song he referred
to?
She tried to recall some OF Doris
pieces, most OF them light and
trifiing, but could not know which
to choose. She dare not ask. and
to demur further might awaken
Hugh's suspicious. Still. she must
sing.
A moment later, after a soft pre-
lude, she began Ncvin's "Oh, That
We Two Were Maying!"

she forgot her timidity, her per
plexity, everything, but the words
and music.
So quietly that neither she nor
the blind man heard II, the door
into the hall opened, and Daniel
Rodney entered. He stopped and
stood listening, his head bowed
"Ob, that we two were Maying"
the sweet, young voice rang out.
And there was almost a sob OF
longing in the last line
And our souls at rest with God"
Mr.. Rodney took a step forward,
and the girl sprang up from the
piano stool.
"Oh. I did not know that any
one"-she started to apologize.
But the newcomer checked her.
"Hugh's mother used to sing that
to me long years ago" he said
gently. she had very lovely
voice--sweet. rich and sympathetic
like yours, my dear"
Thank you" Ruth murmured,
noting the moisture in the keen
gray eyes.

added: II had known l had an

Optimist
BY Aline Michaelis.

y AY, have you ever thought OF
- ways that man is like a ship
~ that goes through fair or
stormy days, through smiling tides
or fog and haze upon long, long
trip? The sea and wind are strong
er far than any ship that sails, but
with the aid OF chart and star and
the clear-seeing mariner the ship
defies the gales. The sea is vast
the ship a fleeS upon its shining
breast, and yet, escaping storm and
wreck and waves that dash and
winds that check, she comes safe
homo to rest. And though she sails
uncharted ways II she but sight the
star. It guides her on through the
fearful mist-wrapped days and safe
ly through the fearful maze of
shoal and rock and bar. 1t shines
so far. Il shines so white! And 10!
the ship will como out of the black
ness OF the night into the steady
beacon-light that marks the shores
OF home. But sometimes clouds
hang thick and dark, then not
light to mark the progress wind
wild bird flies, and there is OF the
lonely bark In all the leaden skies.
Through strange, fierce seas her
way is made and yet within her
breast some high hope glimmers
unsfraid, she threads the blaokness
undismayed, sure OF her final rest.
She waits until the star shall CLEAN
fairer than e'er before; the star that
makes past darkness seem only the
shadow of dream that shall re-
turn no more. Oh wind and wave
and hope OF rest, man knows for
what they are, as on the dark or
sparkling crest of LIES forever
changing breast, he watches for the
