A FINE GRAINED SKIN.

Do you know the proper use of
astringents? I am inclined to think
that few women know the proper
time to use them ON the complex
ion. Most women. finding that cold
cream is generally useful, are apt
to overdo that cosmetic.
The skin is inclined to be oily In
the summer, therefore very little
cold cream is required except In
special cases of wind and sunburn.
About this time Of the year seem
to notice an unusual number of
coarse grained oily compilations,
and I wonder whether the owners
of them have not been using too
much cold cream and not enough
astringents.
One of the most invigorating as
tringents is salt water. It is an ex-
cellent thing to keep jar Of salt
on the bathroom shelf and add
little to the water in which you
wash your face. One of the best
things about this astringent is that
1t costs practically nothing at all,
Another excellent astringent, which
costs practically nothing, is tine
ture of benzoin. A few drops of
this added to the cold rinse water
produces milk fluid which draws
up" the skin and makes 1t white
and fine grained. If you wish you
may keep bottle of tincture OF
benzoin diluted with water and
simply rub II into the skin after
you have washed.
These are the two simplest as
tringents. Ice is always excellent to
use but sometimes hard to procure
If you use this as an astringent rub
1t over the skin for five or ten
minutes after you have thoroughly
washed the face. Plain Witch
Hazel Is soothing, cooling and an
excellent astringent to be rubbed
on the skin after washing.
H. G. S.-You are fifteen pounds
overweight.
Reader-You should massage
the face every night with a good
cream and use very little water IN
til your skin has recovered from
this dryness Remove the surplus
cream and close the pores with a
small piece of ice rubbed over the
face and throat Peroxide of hydro
gen will remove that yellow ring
from your friends neck,

MILK FUND FOR POOR
BABIES RUNNING LOW
AT DANGEROUS TIME

Although the summer time,
when it is absolutely imperative
that babies have good milk in order
to live, has been safely tided over for
a number of poor children through
the generosity Of the Woman's
club and private individuals, the
milk fund is nearly exhausted at
a critical time. A few dollars con-
tributed for free milk at once may
mean the saving of several chill
drens life. according to DR.. ]. F.
Docherty. city and county health
officer.
Fifteen babies have been saved
during the past summer through
the efforts of DR.. Docherty and
Miss Glayds Harris, Red Cross pub
ic health nurse. Free milk has
been furnished to a number of
children whose parents were abso-
lutely unable to buy it for them.
These children will suffer while the
warm weather continues If their
milk supply is cut off now, says DR..
Docherty.
In the past few weeks the sum
of $32 has been contributed by the
Woman's club and a number Of in
dividuals but more money is need
ed at once. Persons wishing to
contribute to the fund may do SC

COVE RT|NC A
VASE IN D AN
ELECTRIC LAMP

This Is the lamp that grand
rather loved to read by, and we
haven't had the heart to cast 1t out
entirely, while here Is pottery lar
that is kind of family heirloom
and we hated to part with it." In
many home there is an old oil
lamp or a pottery jar or vase of
good design, an heirloom which
the family does not wish to dis
card but would be glad to utilize
as a part of a modern electric
lamp. There is a way to do this.
There are types Of adapters now
made known as adapters for OPEN
top vases, adapters for CANDLE
sticks and candelabras or gas
lamp bases. For the oil lamps
there are two kinds Of converters.
one consists of special screw
socket, the base Of which screws
into the top of the oil reservoir. 1t
Is designed to fit a No. 8 collar
and replaces the kerosene burner.
The other kind is designed to fit
into the clips surrounding the
burner in place Of the glass CHM
ney.
are lHIee types OF audp-
tegs to fit in vases. All of these
types made use of long threaded
rod which Is inserted into the in
terror of the vase and braced by
clamps against the interior sur
faces of the vase. One type of
adapter has arms which may be
FOLDED while being inserted in the
vase, thus making it possible to
thrust them into the neck Of even

has been converted into a charm.

August was perhaps a bit warm
to consider what kind Of fur one
would wear in midwinter, but the
woman who did consider the uues-
ton then surely saved money. Fur
prices have taken a jump since the
last day of August and will prob
ably remain at their new level un-
til after the holidays. Some of the
smart models which found favor
among the August buyers were
wraps which resembled frocks.
Pictured here is a lovely wrap
of moleskin which is built on these
frock lines, 1t makes q striking
outfit for either afternoon or even
ing wear. A silver fox scarf forms
the collar and a wide girdle with
balls of fur finishing the ends
marks q low waistline. Wide,
graceful sleeves lend charm to the
lines of the wrap. A moleskin
toque with velvet fancy at the
side completes the outfit.

HOW TO MEASURE USE
OF THE ELECTRICITY
BY WATT-HOUR METER

Every housekeeper is familiar
with measurements of the various
household commodities, thus, milk
is measured by the pint and quart,
potatoes by the pound, cloth by the
yard, electric current by the kilo-
watt hour. Electricity in motion
lights lamps. drives motors, heats
irons, toaster and percolators.
Electric current Is Of practical
value as 1t moves, or flows or does
useful work. The current is meas
ured in this country entirely by
watt-hour meters.
A watt-hour meter Is essentially
a tiny electric motor driving a reg
istering dial. The electric current
used in the house flows through
the motor. If a single lamp is in
use, the current is very small and
the motor revolves very slowly; If
more lamps are turned on, the cur
rent is greater and the motor re-
wolves more rapidly. The electric
meter is really quite
simple. The meter which measures
the amount OF electricity which is
used In the home is one of the
most accurate devices used in an
industry where precision is I'M
portant.

CAUTIONS FOR THE
WOMAN WHO COOKS
WITH ELECTRICITY

Always turn burners off when MOI
not needed for cooking, being SUR
the switch pointers are at OFF"
Always place the food on the
burner and then turn on the cur
rent; in this way the full benefit
of all the heat generated is OBJ
tanned.
Heat only as much water at a
time as you expect to use. A large
quantity of electricity is consumed
In heating water.
Use only as much water as nee
essary barely to cover the food
Keep utensils covered at all times
Always turn switch to MED" or
LOW" as soon as the contents Of
vessel come to a boil. to avoid
boiling over.
Start food with hot water If you
have supply of hot or warm wa
ter at hand and thus save cleo
tricity.
The burners hold the heat for a
long time and require less current
to bring them up to maximum
temperature when they are warm.
Always use one already warm If 1t
is available.

ELECTRIC RANCE
Of LAMP -SOCKET
VARIETY IS NEW
Can Be Used Without Spe-
cial Wiring; Has Oven for
Baking and a Fireless
Cooker Attachment.

A new lamp socket range is on
the market. The ter lampsocke'
means that 1t will operate on $50
watts of current and that no special
wiring is required.
This new model has an electric
fireless cooker at the right with
two aluminium kettles ready for
cooking In the fireless way. An
entire meal can be prepared In ad'
vance, placed in the cooker, given
thirty minutes Of high heat and
left: after detaching the plug, or
the cooker can be put on low heat,
forty watts which will maintain an
even temperature.
On the left of the cooker Is an
aluminium lined oven with two
open coil heating elements, one in
the top and one in the bottom
using $50 watts each. but the two
elements cannot be operated at
the same time from lamp socket.
However, 1t is claimed that the
oven is so we'll made that $50 watts
only will heat it and a thermome-
ter registers the right degree for
baking.
On top of the range and above
the oven is an aluminium griddle
with the heating elements wired in
or sealed up in the solid bottom
This also takes $50 watts and is
used for pancakes, or for frying
bacon and eggs for the morning
meal.
Thus this range is designed TO
operate from any convenient lamp
socket with an oven for roasting,
baking or broiling, with a fireless
cooker for all long time cookery
and the aluminium griddle for the
short time processes. but only one
of the heating elements can be
used at a time.

NAN AS A BUSINESS WOMAN.
CHAPTER 70.

CHAPTER 70.
Dick had rented a small house,
not very modern, but the best we

vegetable garden. Mother gave us
several pieces of furniture she had

debts will be the happiest day of

of how much we could save by be-
ing very economical.

Dick of my plan to help him pay
off the terrible debts for which ]
