M RS. DRESSER'S life as wife of
4NA the only minister in Valeton
was, on the whole, a happy one, but
at times it was complicated by mo-
ments in which every ounce of her
tact was needed. And today prom
ised to be such an occasion.
It had become a yearly habit for
the farmers of the parish to bring
their extra produce to lay at Mrs.
Dresser's feet; not in return for
services rendered, but as humble
expressions Of good will. The good
will was sincere and the offerings
most useful. Mrs. Dresser's difficult
ty lay in the fact that, as all the
farmers raised practically the same
things, they all had the same vege-
tables left over at the same time.
Every year found Mrs. Dresser in
a fever heat of canning; peas and
string beans, tomatoes, cherries, as
paragus, all sorts of fruit and vege-
tables, some of which she had
never heard of before she came to
Valeton. AS a consequence, her sup
ply of canned food never gave out.
She and her husband ate as much
of it as they possibly could, and
gave away more. But most of their
parishioners did their own canning.
'Henry!" cried Mrs. Dresser one
day, "what shall we do with every
thing? The closet in the cellar is
chock full; some of it is the food I
put away three years ago!"
"Give it away" suggested Henry,
placidly.
His wife rewarded him with
whitening glance. ""Give it to
whom?" o
"Then why not let it just stay
down cellar in some corner?" The
minister put down his paper and
looked up with the air of one at last

BEAUTY HINTS By NINA TEMPLE
Facial Masks

One of the easiest and quickest
wavs to renovate and refresh the face
is by using simple facial masks. They
not only tighten the skin and build up
the contour of youth but they also
refine the skin and give it an added
freshness and youthful charm. Of
course the first step in using mask
is to thoroughly cleanse the face and
then you are ready for the mask. One
of the simplest and best is made of
two yeast cakes softened with witch
hazel. This formula is not expensive
and is easy to apply. The next time
you buy yeast cake for light bread,
remember your facial mask and get
two extra ones. It will repay you.

much just now?"
because I've been warned of a
new deluge of gifts coming tomor-

know they were scarce last year,
and high. So every man in town
bought himself a couple of hundred
more chickens. Of course the mar

But Henry's suggestions had CIV

might have helped remained silent.
Matilda was a quaint little girl, fond
of listening to the conversation
of her elders. And she had gath
cred scraps of information on a
remarkable variety of subjects. So,
though she knew little of cooking,
she had heard of another use for
eggs, and that night she and her
doll Candace had a private confer
ence.
To Mrs. Dresser's horror three
women arrived with their eggs the
next morning a full hour early, and
before she had had time to clean
the crooks. She drew deep breath.

Dresser. 81 will put these eggs up

There was nothing to do but go
down cellar and Mrs. Dresser went,
the three ladies at her heels. But
she herself gasped the loudest when
she saw the crooks. They had all
been tilted over on their sides, and
the thick, white waterglass oozed
out in all directions. And not one
egg was in sight.
"What a mess!" Mrs. Dresser
felt rather than saw the significant
glances which passed between the
others. What a careless housewife!
For once in her life she welcomed
the sound of a shrek from Matilda,
though it startled her a little, too.
She hurried up the stairs, fol-
lowed closely by her critics. And
there in the back yard she found
her small daughter and her doll al
most hidden in a weller of broken
eggs,

not daring to glance at her COM

says: AN environment that does

From a purely scientific point

this new institute is one of the

every acknowledged accredited.

large N-ray apparatus. equipment
for basal metabolism, blood pres

The institute is organized as a
non profit, humanitarian organlza-

by the institute because of the
particular nature of his case and
the opportunities it will afford in
research. No forms of "quackerY,
