Only Eight to Remain.

In a report of the medical officer
In charge Of the National Leper Home,
at Carville, La, it appears that SIS new
patients were admitted in 1890 and %
patients were paroled with leprogy ar
rested and as no longer menace to
public health. In the same year seven
patients escaped and six of them re-
turned. one was deported as not en-
titled to hospital care at Government
expense, % died, one paroled patient
returned with recurrence of the leprosy
and three other paroled patients re-
turned for medical or surgical treat
ment for conditions only secondarily
related to their former leprosy.
There Is nothing very remarkable
about all that. It is the usual thing
to see at least % leprosy cases out of
q total of 308 patients in the hospital,
arrested, so to speak, and sent home in
year. The striking disclosure in the
medical officers report is this:
Eight additional patients complied
with the requirements for parole tthat
Is, their leprosy was arrested and they
were no longer menace to anybody's
health, but due to deformities and dis
figurenaents which could not be cor
fected, these patients elected to remain
in the hospital rather than be SUBJ
jected to hardships and huniliations,
the inevitable outlook of many paroled
lepers."
I hope the reader win find 1t diff
cult to forget these eight cured lepers.
Put yourself, in fancy, in the place of
one of them. First misfortune came
and selected you as the victim of
leprosy. Then your friends one by one
tirifted away and left you to the mercy
Of the rabble. You had to go away to
the leper colony--which seemed ter
rible to you at first, but proved quite
different after you reached the place

cream and makeup should be applied.
There is no danger of stretching the
skin If you massage correctly. Never
use a downward movement and always
pat the skin, rather than stroke it.
Yes, improper cleansing methods are
one of the commonest cause for black
heads. OF course, diet, too, plays an
important part, as does the condition
OF the digestive tract. The bowels must
be kept normal and one must drink
plenty of water to have clear skin,
free from blemishes.
Many find it impossible to cleanse the
face during the day, but constant APP
plication of fresh makeup without
cleansing will clog the pores. If pos
sible, cleanse the face at noon with a
cleansing cream and then apply a mild
astringent lotion before using more

the cost for each dress is very slight:
1t is possible to make many sorts OF
simple Summer dresses without pat
tern and with no special knowledge OF
pattern making because so many OF the
Summer dresses are made without
sleeves.

that may be made from a not very
large piece of MATERIAL remnant or
the good material from one of mothers
old dresses that has been washed and
pressed. The skirt is straight, hemmed
at the bottom and gathered at the
waist. There is no placket, as the belt
Is loose enough to slip over the shoul-
ders without one. This belt Is straight
at one edge and made with two points
at the back and two at the front. This,
too, is made without an opening
Straight straps of material join the two
back points to the two points in the

when the suspender skirt Is worn a
small clasp pin at each shoulder should
be used to keep the straps from slipping.

and when dry, rub with furniture

In making custards II you
break q piece Of stick cinnamon

And he Is an ardent collector of books.
Library authorities say that he has
an unusual faculty for delving in out

material not readily accessible.
When he was in China, for example,
he gathered q comprehensive collection
Of books in many languages on China
and the Chinese people. These even
tually were donated to Stanford Uni
versity and became the nucleus of
that Institutions great Chinese library.
His war library at Stanford is more
evidence Of his love for collecting. Dur
ing the war, at every opportunity, he
gathered documents, pamphlets, procla-
nations, periodicals or broadsides re-
lating to the war; which in time will be
foundation material for the history of
that great conflict.
One authority says that Hoover Is
the greatest book collector among the
Presidents since Thomas Jefferson !:
that he resembles jefferson, in that on
all his journeys he gathered volumes
eventually valuable to the student.
Coolidge was something Of q book

Cousins May Wear
"Brother-Sister" Suits
BY FLORENCE LA GANKE.
By FLORENCE LA GANKE.

Joan had no brothers nor sisters, so
she used to like to pretend that she was
big sister to her little cousin, Peter. At
her school they saw so many youngsters
who were dressed alike, especially in
families where there were two or three
children of somewhat the same age.
This idea, although Joan did not
know it, Is borrowed from the French,
where they have suits or dresses Of SINH
lar design and where they think Of them
in terms of 'little brother-sister" suits.
Following her plea that she and Peter
be dressed alike. Aunt Nancy worked

binding of darker shade of blue. The
same binding finished the diminutiye
cuff sleeves of Joan's dress and bound
the arnholes of Peters suit.
A band of blue partially outlined the
arInholes. The slipping shoulders of lit
tie Joan showed that later on she could
wear with grace the evening dresses.
Plain socks and black xofords with no
ornamentation were what the children
wore with these play clothes.
Peter liked Joan's puff sleeves so well
that he wanted some on his little suit,
but his mother persuaded him to "go
masculine"
