The reason Sykes Comfort Powder
is so successful in healing and pre-
venting chafing, scalding, rashes and
skin irritations is because it contains
six healing, antiseptic mgr edients not
found in ordinary talcums. Physicians

BEING AN AUNTIE is NEW
RI-SINESS

when the scientific history of this
age comes to be written distinguished
among the names of great inventors
will be that of Miss Fort. the inventor
of tho Universal Aunt" writes from
London a woman correspondent OF the
Manchester Guardian. Like many
great inventions. this had n simple
origin. Miss Fort was already null
tifarious aunt. caring for many ne
phews and nieces whose parents were
abroad. They had to be met and
farewelled and taken to dentists and
fitted out with clothes.
Like flash the inspiration came
to her. Why should I not be a Uni
versal Aunt? That was in January
of this year. Today Miss Fort has
an office and an enterprise known as
the Universal Aunts. and she has on
her books eighty assistant Aunts ready
to do. in an organized way. the hun
dred and one Jobs that usually fall to
the lot of the mothers unmarried
sisters.
Many a girl who has consulted
Miss Fort about ways to earn money
has been asked the question. Have
you a hobby They often have some
useful accomplishment that they have
never thought of turning to practical
account They may be clever dress
makers or know something about
house decoration or animals, or they
are interested in London's history. OF
they are skilled in cleaning and
mending old lace. or they are accus-
toned travellers. For each of these
and many other gifts Miss Fort can
| find a use, for Aunts are called upon
| to do everything imaginable.

WITH THE WOMEN OF TODAY

Women always point with pride to
their sisters who have entered the
business and professional world and
succeeded in work which had hereto
fore been mans. And those women
who attain unusual honors and dis
tinctions in their work are living ar
guments that women are fitted for
something beside maternal duties.
Miss Dorothy r. Rehfeld of Aber-
deem, S. D., is one of the successful
women about whom South Dakota
people boast. Miss Rehfeld is the only
Independent practicing woman lawyer
in her state. In addition to that dis
tinction she is the first woman lawyer
in South Dakota to whom was issued
a license to practice in all United
States courts.
Miss Rehfeld has also been ac-
tive in suffrage in addition. to her pro-
fessional work. and last year she was
sent as one of the twelve American
delegates to the International Wom-

The everyday life of many housewives
is continual struggle with weakness
and pain. There is nothing more wear
ing than the ceaseless round of house,
hold duties and they become doubly hard
when some female trouble makes every
bone and muscle ache, and nerves all on
edge.

suffer for four or five years as Mrs.
Siefert did, but profit by her experience
and be restored to health by Lydia L.
