Leni was active with imagina-
tion. She knew she was going
to pit her brain and will against
o stronger mental force than
any she had ever contacted in
her life.
Herman Gerstenfield was not
. flesh and blood body-he was
o mental force vibrating, shat
tering, building, winning!
Both men, when Leni came
into the room, rose to their feet
at once. Gerstenfield as though
1t were a physical effort came
up slowly-a medium sized man
with narrow shoulders and a
face utterly unimpressive, ex-
cept for the eyes.
Good morning, darling" said
Wingate with light affection.
"JuSt out Of bed, eh? Well, it
was a great night"
He laughed With an ease Of
manner and took hold of her
hand. Leni had always liked
Wingate. She had the pleas
ant feeling Of knowing that he
admired her work and this al
ways stimulated her. Wingate
...Sparse and middle-aged and
with the wide, loose mouth of a
clown, led her up to Gersten-
field.
The best bet in pictures to-
day, Hermann" he said.
Down to Business
Herman Gerstenfield'S face
expressed an indifference, which
he was very far from feeling.
With his aloof and cold manner
he usually got what he wanted
in a business discussion. He
had brought Wingate along as a
softening influence upon Leni.
Time will tell how good Miss
Luneska is" said Gerstenfield,
without enthusiasm.
He sank back into his chair
and Wingate took a fountain
pen from his pocket and put it
on a table beside a legal-looking
document with a blue cover
which he had, apparently, been
reading before Leni came in.
He started to speak and then
checked himself. After all, Win
gate was the figurehead, Ger
Stenfield the real power.
In the vast mechanism of
studio organization, Wingate
was merely a competent and
useful instrument. The in
significant looking Gerstenfield

The Beauty
Box
BY HELEN FOLLETT

The leathery skin does not
need astringents. It needs oil
and oil and more oil, together
with plenty of friction to work
away dead scales, enliven cir
culation, encourage sebaceous
glands to get busy. Surface
coarsenesS and heaviness are
due to exposure to strong
winds and the rays of the sun.
Let the sun-tan fans take
notice. All right for one sea-
son, maybe for two, but after
that the character Of the skin
will change for the worse.
Our foremothers who wore
wells and carried little sun
shades knew what they were
about. Not for them the
weather-beaten portrait! They
believed in a policy of protec-
ton.

ways throw them out, prescrip-
ton and all! Be sure, also,
that the shelves are not over
crowded and that everything
is clearly and correctly labeled.
And lastly, never take any
thing out Of the medicine chest
when you are half asleep or
when it is dark! Serious acci-
dents have occurred for no
other reason.
After reading this article you
may feel that your medicine
chest needs looking after. Lose
no time, then, in making sure,
and bring it up to standard
requirements.
Only in this way will the
Socratic maxim of knowing
thyself" be adhered to. Only
in this way will you actually
be able to meet any medical
emergency.
DIR. Bisch'S Daily Diet Hint
Contrary to popular belief,
fish is not a brain food; that
is, eating fish does not stimu-
late or strengthen brain cells
directly, or any more than does
any other similar food. In fact,
fish differs very little from
meat. Some people believe also
that salt water fish is better
for human consumption than
fresh water fish. and vice
versa. Both, however, are
equally desirable and nutri-
tious.

Are You Able to Meet q
Medical Emergency?
Although the medicine chest
should be the most important
cupboard in the house, it uSu-
ally is the most neglected.
L do not mean that it is
never used or opened. On the
contrary, it is likely to be the
one closet in which all small
articles are thrust to get them
out Of the way, from empty
bottles to hammer and nails; in
other words, a receptacle for all
manner Of things, useless as
well as useful.
Yet no closet should re-
ceive more careful thought and
planning, for, after all, the
medicine chest is an emergency
storehouse-a place where medi-
cal supplies are kept SO that a
medical emergency may be met.
To keep it well-stocked is es-
sential. If it's supplies are al
lowed to run out, the very ar
ticle you may need in the
middle of the night may be
wanting. If you ever have
had the experience of needing
a drug or medical appliance,
when minutes counted before
the doctor arrived, you will re-
call what a feeling Of utter
desperation overwhelmed you,
and how sincerely you then
made a VOW to keep the medi-
cine chest always in AL order.
Contrary to general custom,
the medicine closet should not
hold articles which are in daily
use. Every member of the
family should, for instance,
keep his own drinking glass,
toothpaSte, brush and similar
articles in his own room or
in his own bathroom. This not
only helps to keep the medi-
cine chest tidy; it also prevents
members of the family from
using toilet articles not their
own, besides lessening the pos
Sibilty of one of the children,
or even Of an adult, taking a
poisonous substance by mistake.
Label a certain cupboard in
the house Medicine Chest" and
reserve it for emergency RENE
dies only! Furthermore, keep
this cabinet always under lock
and key, but place the key
where it can readily be found.
What should the medicine
chest contain? This must be
determined largely by matters
of personal taste as we'll as
pocketbook. The following list
should, however, be considered
essential:
Clinical thermometer; bath
thermometer; ordinary drinking
glass; measuring glass; table
spoon; teaspoon: package Of
tongue depressors; package of
wooden applicators; eye drop
per; scissors; hot-water bottle;
douche bag; absorbent cotton;
sterile gauge; sterile bandages;
adhesive tape; collodion; S per
cent solution of mercuro-
chrome; hydrogen peroxide;
chloroform liniment; saturated
solution Of boracic acid; EPSON
salts; bicarbonate of soda; aro-
matte spirits of ammonia; es-
sence of peppermint; vaseline;
cold cream; witch hazel; sterile
busting powder; talcum pow
der; castor oil; carbolated alco-
hol, and-last but not least
an abridged book on First Aid
in Cases of Emergency.
Never keep old medicines.
Always renew depleted ones.
Furthermore, make it a rule
never to keep the leftover pills
and liquids that have been
used in case. of sickness. Al

Rhubarb Relish

Nine cupfuls of rhubarb, cut
fine, two cupfuls of vinegar, one

Family Camping Apt
To Develop Health Dangers
inexperienced Persons Should Avoid This Type Of
Vacation, Warns State Health Department

To the boy or girl scout who has
learned the art OF scientific camp
ing or the person who has acquired
this from long experience the
"back to nature" urge in the sum-
mer season should bring vacation
delights, but to the inexperienced
person camping involves numerous
pitfalls which are likely to result
in serious injury to health. the
State Department of Health warn
ed to-day in Its weekly bulletin.
When a family chooses camping
for its vacation, too often the
duties of the mother are increased
threefold by the Inconvenience
she has to put up with, such as
cook stoves that have to be con-
tinuously fed with fuel, drinking
water which has to be carried from
q we'll, a scanty supply Of wash
water, no inside sanitary facilities,
inadequate screening against flies
and mosquitoes and innumerable
petty annoyances which try her
patience and necessitate real va
cation after the camping trip.
In addition to these difficulties,
the inexperienced camper faces
many other problems which may
result in danger to health. II the
water supply can be obtained from
public system which Is constantly
