COMPARE GERMAN WEALTH BEFORE
 AND AFTER WAR

Berlin, Oct. 3--The total taxable property held by the German people amounts to 1850 milliards paper by Reconstruction in it's current is- sue. Seventy per cent. of the aggre- gate is given as personal and real property, II per cent as town prop erry, IA per cent. rural, two per cent. mining, and three per Sent. as goods, shipa metallic currency, etc.
 The average of pre-war estimates the periodical states. works out at 330 milliards gold marks, from which amount the following deductions should be made Thirty niliIards ing to the empire. individual states. and local authorities, such as rail- ways,- canals, forests, etc.); 8 mill iards of property held by the poorest further a sum amounting to about 20 per cent. of the total which either is especially favored by the regulations for economic reasons 34,o or manages to to about 65 milliards gold marks.
 Dcducting these 10s miuiards from the pre-war average of estimates, a balance of 222 milllards remains. From this total, however, Reconstruc- ton states, the following sums must be deducted as a result of the war: Twenty-Five milliards in values de- stroyed by the war (amounting orig inally to 50 milliards, one-half having been made good by reconstruction; 30 nilliardS loss on capital invested abroad; 25 milliards loss Of territory, and 10 milliards surrendered to the Entente in railways, ships etc.
 The sum left after taking off these 90 milliards in l9sses, the publication sets roundly at e30 nilliards gold marks In converting gold into paper marks, it states, the following index numbers based on the prices current in the home German market should be employed: Personal and real property, 15; town landed property, ?; rural landed property, 10; mining property 10. and goods, ships etc. 60. When the various categories of prop erty are multiplied by these figures their values in paper marks are de- termined. According to this ca1cu1a- tio~ the average depreciation index figure is IS, thus giving 1850 mill lizards paper marks as equivalent to 130 milliards in gold.
 The question then arises" says Re- construction, "'how is the gold value of this property to be maireainedE 7 The experts who have made this cal culation during the past few weeks are convinced that the gold value is continually diminishing, but an exam nation of this question is an 1mpor- tant factor in any honest economic policy, whether for financial or reipar- ation purposes"

REJUVENATING OLD FACES

wonder whether my men readers would be interested in the experiences of an elderly man who, for business reasons, had to make his face look young, and who did so through exer- else. Perhaps even some Of my wo- men readers will find a hint or two, though women are popularIy sup posed to prefer comestics.
 This man used one cosmetic a little white vaseline rubbed into the skin after shaving, but he never used it when naassaging or exercising the face because he claimed that the friction produced by the dry palms of the hands was more beneficial than oil or cream.
 will eliminate wrinkles and tone up sagging muscles oy drawing 41p fresh blood and fresh supplies of fat to go under the skin to build it up. But for the first several weeks the beginner must expect the face. to be thinner This is because a certain amount of loose fat is rubbed away before the new firm flesh begins to form.
 This man Tnassaged the muscles of the cheeks firmly with the palms of the hands, pressing upward and back toward the temples. about 10 or Is movements altogether. His mouth he massage6 by inserting the little fingers at the corners of the lips and alternately pulling and relaxing. The forehead was rubbed briskly toward the temples, the chin rubbed vigor- ously at its point, the jaws rubbed backwards from the mouth to the ear. This facial massage was ezken in bed every morning. These treat ments were also taken in connection with various other massage and ex- ercises for the entire body. The face would naturally benefit by all these other exercises as well.
 After the massage vaseline was rubbed into the skin and wiped off with warm water.

K. M. R.:-OHve oil is not a hair tonic so you would not benefit by us- ing it except to. relieve dryness of the scalp. If the hair is inclined to be dry heated curling irons are in furious. Consult your doctor regard ing the dark cirlces around the eyes. Louise Mary:-I should not attempt to remove moles with aoid, as bad scar could be the result Mop little witch hazel or toilet water on the nose to relieve oiliness. At 19 years, it. 3 in, you should weigh about 120 pounds.
 Miss M. L. F.:-You can easily rid yourself of all these blackheads over your body, if you take q daily hot bath using a bathbrush. After the scrubbing cool the bath water until at the ead 1t will be cold, or better still finish with a cold shower. A number of Turkish baths would clear out these blackheads in less time than the work you could do for yourself
 Grace:-At 23, ft in, you should weigh 130 pounds. To gain in weight drink milk and use plenty of butter.
 Lou:-A canton crepe of extra quail ity makes a good choice for a dress that must be worn for a long time and for different occasions With brown eyes, dark hair and olive skin you would look well in brown, re- ieved with orange or tan in the fac- ings.

 Osler, who was one of our great medical authorities, in warning young medical practitioners not to give too severe forecasts or certain neafE 11S- eases, relates a story of a case that came to him when he was young in the practice.
 A young woman patient of his had a very marked heart murmur (abnor- nal sound), showing a leaky valve. He told her of this and advised her never to marry as he thought she should not bear children. Twenty years or so later a woman came to him for examination. She had no symptoms of heart disease but on complete examination he discovered a marked murmur. He mentioned this to her and she said: 'Yes, Doc tor, it's the same murmur you told me about 20 years ago. You remem- Der you advised me not to marry on account of the dangers of child birth Well I did marry and I have had eight healthy children!

SYNOPSIS:

Herbert Penney is standing on the deck of the Palatia watching the other passengers disemoark, when a girl approaches him and throws her arms about bis neck and enterats him to help her. She introduces him to a Mrs. Dunton. He pretends as best he can. In a few minutes Mrs. Dunton goes away and the girl bids Penney goodbye. In the brief conyersa- tio n Mrs. Dunton had invited Penney to visit her ct TempIeyale. Penney remembers and resolves to go there to see the girl again. On his arrival at TernpleyaIe, he seeks out Mrs. Dunton and fortu- nately nnets her as she is coming out of the house. She upbraids him for a letter he had sent to Margaret. Since he had wTIrIen no letter he hedges hoping to find out all he can. Mrs. DuntCn shows him "his'' letter in which he breaks his engagement with the girl. He Is nonDluSsed. Just then the girl appears. Mrs. Dun- ton leaves the room and Margaret confeSseS.
 Margaret tries to get Penney to go away and he is about to do so when Roy Trachtman, Mrs. Dun tons nephew, appears on the scene. The girl shows great fear of Trachtman and Penney decides to stay. Margaret and Tracl1tman have an argument and Penney ar rives at the porch steps Just in time to save the girl from a bad fall. He realizes TFachtnlan holds some threat over the girl and of- fers her his hand. Margaret tells of her deception and heavy debts.
 Penney studies the case and comes to the conclusion that there is a grave discrepancy be- tween what Margaret really owes and whGs Trachtnlan says she owes. He questions her closely, and she tells some of the amounts spent on her by Mrs. Dunton. To be certain he asks her: You're certain-you saw the bilIs?"

 ''The American coal strike was a Godsend to the English miners" ac- cording to Herbert Smith. leader of the English Miners Federation
 Demands for British coal, which came as the result of the American strike have put the coal industry in England on it's feet and miners have had their first full weeks of work for more than year. A winter that threatened the utmost poverty does not look as black now as it did dur ing the early summer months and there are no longer grave fears of economic suffering among British miners.
 Big Orders Filled
 When the American strike ended there had been more than 900, 1000 tons of British coal shipped to the United States and Canada since the early days of August. During Sep- tember there were 5O0.ooO tons more shipped, and it is believed that the demand for coal from America will not subside until well into the win ter months. The future contracts end of the American strike but even now the demand is far above the pre-war normal
 The. majority of the orders from America have been for industrial coal although there has been 8 con siderable demand for bunkering coal From Canada there has come an in creased demand for the better grades of anthracite coal, and the supplies of this grade are now very limited on the English market
 The prices of coal in England for export have fuctuated with the for

tunes of the American strikers. The lower grades of export coal were sell ing for less than 20 shillings a ton when the strike broke out, and im- mediately the first American orders were received the prices sky-rocketed and within a few weeks there was an increase of 50 per cent Since the strike ended, however, there has been a gradual recession in the price, ex- cept in the instance of anthra cite coal of the best quality.
 Market Was Dead
 The continental market has been practically closed to the British trade because of the rates of exchange German buyers have been unable to buy at all and French and Italian buy CTS have been scarce.
 The English householder will prob ably not feel the effects of the Ameri- can demands upon the domestic coal market, because America has been getting only that coal which usually goes to the continent. However, there has been an increase in the price of household coal of about 20 per cent, but it is explained that this is the usual season increase.
 Probably one effect of the Ameri- can strike has been an increase in the demands from the United States and Canada for British iron In Septen- Der orders had been received for more than 800, ,OO0 tons of foundry iron for export to America
 Altogether the American strike promises to prove a big boon to Eng fish industrial conditions
