Mr.. Pidcock deplored the fact that
there is fast growing shortage OF

can obtain better wages There will
be a scarcity Of help in the farming

However, the crop prospects are
SO bright that the planters are look

RUBEN6TEIN

RUBEN5TEIN trouble it makes.
Wash in tepid water, using a good
soap. If soft water is not available,
add a little borax or a few drops of
ammonia.
When you cleanse your hands from
time to time during the day do it
thoroughly Don't dabbIe them in
a little cold water which rinses off
the surface dirt and grinds in the
rest.
Scrub the nails with nail brush
and remove any stains with lemon
juice. Then, after drying the hands,
use little glyceTin or any soothing
lotion that agrees with your skin.
At night rub cold cream well into
the hands, after cleansing, particu-
larly about the nails. Then draw on
a pair of roomy old gloves and keep
the hands anointed and protected
during the night.
In the morning wash the hands
in soap and water. Then massage a
little skin food into the skin and
train down the cuticle about the
nails with an orangewood stick.
The mails, OF course, require eAIId
care, but every woman can be her
own manicurist if she will equip her
self with slender, curved scissors, a

mention that it IS no longer consid-

WAITING FOR FORTUNE
THOSE WHO EXPECT SOMETHING TO HAPPEN

; cipline of disappointment, the
training of failure, the knowledge
gained through Illustration Of
our erroneous plans will lead us
to deeper wisdom and a greater
peace within than any surface
satisfaction could ever have
given.
The affliction which cuts q
young athlete off from compel.
ing in his favorite games may be
the actual beginning of the open
ing Of his mind to things far
more important than anything he
ever before knew. The disap,
pointment in friendship which
hurts tragically may lead to a
real understanding of what loyal
friendship can mean.
The failure to obtain a pro-
motion, the miscarrying of any
plan, may, like a seemingly tragic
loss of health-lead to such deep
and basic understanding of life
that happiness will flood in as
you have never dreamed 1t could
come.

GOOD LOOKS
AND DIET
BY Brice Be'den, M. D.

IF THE teeth deteriorate absorb
ton Of the jawbone takes place.
The loss of bone causes the
face to sink in, with resulting
looseness Of the skin.
It Is, therefore, obvious that
good looks, in so far as they de-
pend upon the maintenance of
good teeth. call for a diet rich in
lime, which the teeth require for
their nourishment. Eggs, cheese,
milk, fruits and vegetables are the
foods richest in lime.
Phosphorus is another chemical
substance which the teeth require
for proper growth, and it may
also be obtained from such foods
as eggs and cheese.
Potash has been shown to be
a very important element in our
food. Animals kept upon a diet
poor in potash suffer from
changes in the nerves and mus
cles; the skin Is also damaged and
the animals lost their fur; they
also grew old prematurely.
The fur great again normally
when a diet rich in potash was
resumed. The animals, when
fed on their potash-poor dietary,
became decidedly obese, but when
I'll IL, nctn
stituted they lost their excessive
fat.
The moral of all this Is that
very stout people, who are also
bald, very often owe their condi-
ton to a diet poor in potash.
They are really suffering from
an impairment of nutrition. This
kind of badness may be regarded
as an evidence of partial old
age-a kind of local senility, as
1t were.
Practically, it has been found
that these people reduce in size
and regain their hair when put
upon a diet rich in potash. The
potassium compounds occur in
large amount in milk, potatoes,
meat, cereals and fruits, par
ticularly plums, apricots, cherries
and grapes.
1t is, therefore, fair to say
that good looks, in so far as they
depend upon the maintenance Of
normal proportions and fine hair,
call for diet rich in potash.
Actors and actresses must be
a delicate lot of people"

You see, that large bali turned

''Filled with eggsr' exclaimed
Mrs. Short-coated Beetle. ''No
wonder you walk like that! Why
don't you come over to the ant
hill and lay them and rest your
back? My, I should think you'd
die. carrying them around with
you. I love children, but If I had
to lug the eggs around I'd never
have any-too much trouble. No,

them hatch themselves"
THAT may be all right for a

other scornfully, but a. for bee
ties who carry their tails over
their backs-well, I prefer keep
ing my eggs where I can take
care Of them. I must admit I
enjoy the same privilege that you
do. for I live with the ants. too.
But none Of them win ever have
a chance to complain about my
eggs being a burden, for I carry
them right in this big hall-like
part Of my body until they
hatch"
"Silly thing!" And Mrs. Short

disgust, walked of across the
path to her ant-hill and dfHAp-

Foolish thing!" sighed Mrs.
Bette Beetle, and away she Scoot-

THE TIME TO
BUY FURS
-Ry Rita Stuyvesant.

-HERE are SO many wonder
full fur sales now that one
should take advantage OF
them. The styles for the late
furs have been well established,
and, although the purchaser Will
have almost a months wear from
her fur garment, she will be all
ready for next season.
A stunning wrap is of Scotch
moleskin, with collar and trina
ming Of fox fur. 1t is cut like a
cape, but shows a flat panel OF
the fur in the back, to give the
desired slim silhouette. At either
side there is a loose panel OF the
moleskin, bordered with a broad
band of the fox and an enormous
collar of the fox is used. Sits
for the arms to pass through are
cut, and gorgeous lining OF
crepe in a lovely dove shade COM
pletes 1t.
Kolinsky, seal, mink and sable
are all made up into wondrous
wraps. Not only are the dressy
wraps so interesting, but the
short sport jackets are we'll liked.
Fur jacquettes that flare at the
hips or are caught in, bloused
OVER a band. Sometimes the col
lar is Of contrasting fur, and
this lends charm. Taupe or beige
caracul is smart and is combined
with beaver or mink to good adj
vantage.
Muskrat sport coats are ex-
ceedingly inexpensive at present
and are just the thing for the
brisk motor ride, or any outdoor
occasion these crisp days. Many
are made in the approved hip
length, while others fall consid-
erably below the knees, and are
bordered with q striped effect.
The muskrat coats are suitable
for the young girl for college,
school or business, and the fur
wears very well.
Chinchilla is attractive in the
sport coats, and is made In the
hip-length flare model, with flare
sleeves and big rolling collar.
Wraps, too, are also made of 1t,
but it is more adapted for the
sport models.

LAND O. DREAMS
A FINE SERIES BY A NOTED PSYCHO-ANALYST

prOache& 1t, to Humpty Dumpty.
The heads of the red and white
queens vanish from her lap with
out her knowing it-they are just
"gone."
The rushes which Alice picked
in the stream began to fade and
vanish in her hands as soon as
she had picked them-"these, be-
ing dream rushes, melted away
almost like snow, as they lay in
heaps at her feet, but Alice
hardly noticed this, there were so
many other curious things to
think about" Even the looking
glass thinned and admitted her
passa ge-when she tried to push
her way through it. In this way
she entered the looking-glass
world.
Nearly everything in the book
is "personalized''-t is to say,
is given life and personality by
the dreamer, SO much so that
nearly everything talks! Even
time is personified: "If you
knew time as well as do, you
wouldn't talk about wasting 1t.
It's him. Similarly. the leg OF
mutton Is introduced to Alice,
and gets up and bows.
At various times, mention is
made of running and flying at
incredible speed through the air
the flying dream! When she falls
down the rabbit hole, this is the
falling dream. The Jabberwock
poem is written backwards; the
mirror world is all turned round.
Sleeping, dreaming, vanishing,
etc, are often alluded to through
out the book.
These are only a few points
which occur to the mind, show
ing us that a study of the alice"
books, from the point of view Of
modern dream psychology, would
be well worth while-since they
are filled with suggestive and
interesting material.

ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN
By Beatrice Fairfax.

Your problem has many sides.
You are both young to think of
marriage. The man probably
realizes the responsibility marriage
entails and is reluctant to assume
it so early in life. BY putting 1t
off he probably has wounded your
vanity, and it doesn't add any to
the wound to be told that "he is
always so sure of me-" If you
two really love each other, a year
and a half's wait doesn't matter
in the least. AS for the man being
unfair, this could only arise If he
insisted upon going out with other
girls and demanded that you re-
ceive attention from no one but
him. Even though you are en-
gagged 1 can see no harm in each
Of you going out with whom you
please, providing both agree to
such an understanding. 1t will
be Q test Of your love for each
other, and is entirely fair.
