LUMBER DEMAND GOOD.
Shows Little Change in Fortnight,
Mills Report.

Demand for lumber is holding up
satisfactorily and the market has
shown little change during the last
fortnight, says the American Lum-
herman. Chicago. Southern pine mills
report that buying so far this month
has been slower than in August, and
is more scattered; but the volume re
mains good, approximately on a par
with production. The noteworthy de-
Velopment is that most of the current
business is coming from the smaller
towns and country districts, where
building and repair operations are
tending upward while those in the
larger cities are declining. The out
look is reassuring, but the mills are
taking conservative view of the sit
uation, and are in some instances
curtailing their output. The heavy
demand of 80 days ago having sub
sided, prices have also receded some
what, but are now generally firm,
with no further material decline in
prospect. Manufacturers are not ex-
erting any great pressure for new
business, and are often turning away
business that is offered at what they
regard as too low prices
Douglas fir manufacturers report
that country yards are buying in

in abeyance until after the presi-
Dental election. The foreign mar
kets are in good shape and promfs-

report that no large stocks are be-

ers believe that it is ready to buy
heavily this Fall. 1t is indeed the ex-

Peach & Orange Back To Nature
 ones In Powder

That changing styles in cosmetics are more than fad is proved by the continued and increasing popularity of orange and peach tones in rouge and powder, at first thought to be merely a passing fancy.
 There is good reason why the reign of these "warmer" tones is fully estab- hshed. They are indicative of new mode of living--for it is an interesting fact that through the centuries cos- metics have reflected the life of the women of various periods.
 When the languorous beauty of old Egypt freshened up her face with a bit of powder" as she knew it, it was a powder warmly tinted to match her skin. When the delicate, fragile wom- en of a century or so ago, tightly laced, stiffly collared, powdered they had to use a superfine white powder to match their pale skins. So it is that the warmer tones in vogue today are not fad, but the desire of the more active woman of 1924 to match her powder to her skin-her skin, whose healthy glow reflects her freedom from clothes that restrict her body, and time worn ideas that restrict her mind.
 As long as good health is fashionable, as long as golf and motoring and swim n,ing are the vogue, it seems probable that women will continue to use the warmer, more vital powders such as peaches or peaches and cream, and more richly glowing rouge like Man. darine instead of the old paler shades.
 A striking example of the modes in powders following the modes of living is offered in New York-where per haps the most dramatic contrasts in the world may be found. Women who in- dulge fashionably in sports. or lead an active life are using the outdoor pow ders to blend in with their warm sun kissed skins. But on the East Side where families live jostled up side by side and where girls spend their days in mechanical work in factories, natur- ally their skins are pallid and color less-and here one finds white powder used almost entirely.

Home Nursing

Starchy Beverages TT IS always difficult, when a woman
 has an invalid in the house. to
 prepare nourishment that will be satisfactory to the doctor as we'll as the patient from the standpoint of proper diet.
 Each illness is law unto itself.
 Doctors realize more and more each year that diet has supplanted the medi- cine bottle, the powder and the pill of yesteryear. And many doctors admit frankly that they depend entirely upon nourishment, rest and fresh air to spell recovery.
 When awoman, whose culinary skill has been confined to normal catering for an average family, is confronted with the task of preparing starchy beverages, for instance, she naturally thinks of. gruel or. thin arrowroot. It may not occur to her that when the doctor wishes particularly emaeiated patient to drink freely of starchy bev- erages, because for the moment they sup ply wasted tissues with necessary car bohydrates, starchy beverages are quite simple, after all.
 There is barley water. In food value a glass of barley water averages 1S0 calories.
 Rice water (An eight-ounce glass is considered in these averages) provides 100 calories.
 Crust coffee, bread panada, cracker panada and toast water may be all considered starchy beverages.
 Then there are the arrowrOot gruels, thin cornstarch, favored and disguised with cream and sugar. Most women think of thin starch as something in which they stiffen shirt bosoms. Some thing entirely /unpalatable! Thin cornstarch, slightly favored, sweetened and blended with half an ounce of sweet cream makes a, delicious drink hot or cold.
 Panada may be an unfamiliar name. Most women will smile when they hear what it is, shaving known it all their lives.
 To make bread panada take two ta- blespoonfuls of stale white or brown bread crumbs. And to one and a half cups of hot water. Boil for five min utes. Add dash of nutmeg, cinnamon or vanilla, strain, add a teaspoon of cream and serve hot.
 Cracker panada is made the same way. One uses four toasted crackers to three cups of slightly sweetened and salted water.
 Toast water is simple. to make and appeals to anyone wh0~ likes toast Toast stale bread and cut into squares. Powder into crumbs and add a pinch of salt and a cup of boiling water. Let it stand an hour. Rub through sieve and serve hot or cold with a little cream and powdered sugar.
 One may, of course, include in starchy beverages, tapioca creams (strained) and thinned with a little cream or whole milk.
 All the cereal gruels may be used if strained.
 Thin cream soups made of a cream sauce foundation to which strained

 The "middle-aged" explains your husbands conduct. That is the dangerous age for men, when al- most any vamp can get them if she has half a chance. It is the time when men forsake their faithful old wives for baby dolls and do fool things that wreck their lives. It is the time when they have the illusion that they are young, when they try to make a last desperate effort to capture romance again, and when any woman can flatter them by telling them how hand
