Sprogget had extracted a card from the case.
 Under the extraordinary circum- stances" he remarked, "I think l shall introduce our very generous friend, MT. Thomas Fredericks, of the Tecumseh Club.'' He indicated Kit tie first. This is Miss Maud Smith. of Ogallala. Nebraska. and her friend, Miss Kittie Swasher."
 MT. Fredericks knowledged the tntroductions with bow of such ele- gance that Kittie felt called upon to extend her hand and flash a dazzling smile.
 Happy to meet you. MT. Freder- icks" she said, enlivened. Met my friend, Miss Swasher, MT. Fredericks.' %
 Maud, too. shook hands with the blithesome chap. For her he nad a bow and a smle, not perhaps so ebu1- lent as for Kittie. who was picking at Sprogget's arm.
 Ask him to sit down, Miles," she whispered. Sprogget nodded.
 'tIh sure, MT. Fred ericks, we'd be glad to have you join our party if you are mot otherwise engaged" he said.
 'tSure; let's make it a foursome," Kittie interjected.
 Frederickss beamed.
 ''Suffocated with pleasure. I'm lone wolf this evening. It's a little bit early anyway. for the pack I run with.''
 It was Kittie who signaled the waiter and bade him place a chair for the guest, while Sprogget paid off the speculator's men and acquired three prime seats for Romeo ana Juliet"
 "I am your debtor for a hundred and fifty dollars" he told Fredericks, as he returned the wallet and seated 'I've taken out that much. And I suppose I ought to introduce myself-Miles Sprogget, of Pawhus- ka, Oklahoma. staying for the pres ent at the Waldorf"
 F'redericks srasped the Oklaho- mans hand warmly.
 Glad to meet you-socia1Iy,'' he smiled.

This was the com ment of Police Sergeant Pat Collins, of the Chicago Police Department, a brother of the martyred leader. This is an awful blow, but we expected it.
 Three weeks ago he wrote me that he was in danger, but that if he was killed it would be fighting for Ire land.' Sergeant Collins declared his brother Was only thirty-one, though all previous reports placed his age at forty. Sergeant Collins had not seen his famous brother since they were children.

 Another woman with equally we'll preserved hands attributes their con- d1t1on to the use of salt. After she is through with the kitchen work she scrubs her hands in warm water, dries them partially on a towel and then completes the drying process by rub olng some dry coarse table salt all over the skin. She also keeps a box or this salt in the bathroom since the whole family has followed suit in adopting her habit. The salt acts like pumice on the skin, making it smooth, while the astringent proper ties are all that are needed to keep the skin firm.

Battle for Better National Health, Longer Life
for the Average Man
By H. C. cox, Insurance. Toronto, Can.

As members OF the human race, " e sense, IS other men do, the agones
Of the heart that result from family separations and We sympathze fully
with our fellow men in the mental suffering occasioned by the deaths Of
the loved ones. But as life insurance men we re compelled to go further
and count other costs as well. In some respects " e are like the Red Cross
workers behind the battle line. We count the dead and succor the
wounded. We are back of every sector on which the enemy is making an
attack. We know each day how many have fallen and from what causes.
We record and tabulate our information months and almost years ahead OF
the reports that are given out from headquarters in Washington.
Does it not seem that in some way we should arrange for more direct
communication and greater cooperation with the forces that are fighting
the battle for better health and longer average life? From the nature of
our business and its wide spread over the entire country and in all kinds
of homes we know better and sooner than any other organization or agency
the trend of public health and just what is causing deaths among the po-
pie from week to week.
Why, therefore, should we not resolve here and now to make the Asso-
citation Of Life Insurance Presidents a statistical clearing house TO which
we shall henceforth report deaths and causes of death every month, to the
end that the association may in return tabulae them and make reports in
aggregate to such government and state departments as need such informs-
ton and will use it in fighting the battle for better national health and
longer life for Mr.. Average Man-for him who is the composite of us all

1Pr,. red by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
When some members of q family are
strongly prejudiced against such fla
yors as onion. curry. bay leaf. garlic
or celery, while others deplore the lack
of these flavors in cookery, the house
keeper is at a loss to know how to
suit everybody. As a rule, however,
the most skillful cooks are those who
know how to use just a suggestion of
~fiavoring where it adds greatly to the
effect of n dish but almost defies de-
lection. Thus a salad is indef1nably
better for having a bit of garlic rubbed
around the bowl In which the dressing
Is mixed; an oxtail soup is improved
by a thin half slice of lemon added to
each portion at serving time; veal cut

chicken Is just different for having

sons who would ordinarily have moth
ing to do with curried chicken.
To use onion flavor so that it will
not be Objectionable to those who dis
like to meet a chunk of onion in any
dish, the United States Department of
Agriculture suggests squeezing the
juice out with a lemon squeezer. To
flavor a milk soup or sauce with onion
or celery a few pieces of either may
be cooked with the milk a few minutes
and then removed before the soup Is
completed. Bay leaf judiciously used

new in politics, and will have to learn slowly, but when they do become
accustomed to political methods believe that women as candidates will
be judged impanialy with men.
The National Council of Women has nothing to do with political
questions. or local ones, such as whether o. not a girl should bob her
hair and wear short skirts; that is for the local clubs to consider. Our
national council meets with the national women's councils OF 80 other
nations to consider matters of national Importance, like child welfare,
and we re able, through our interest, to get laws passed to benefit
mothers and children. Our next international conference will be held
in the United States in 1925.
Our national council includes the Y. W. c. A, the General Fedora
ton of Womens Clubs, the League of Women Voters, the q other organi-
cations representing 100000 women. l do not feel that this country
is oyerorganized in the matter of clubs. Some women doubtless belong
to a dozen or more; but had we not been well equipped we could never,
during the war, have carried out the work of the Womens Council of
Defense, or the Women's National War board. This nation was the only
one whose women we're properly organized SO that efficient war work
could be done.
