 Now that Uncle Sam has called the attention of women war work CTS to the cleansing merits of lano- lin-that soothing, penetrating lubricant that comes from sheepS wool--several new cosmetics are made with a lanolin base.
 One new cream is offered for several purposes, especially soften- ing and lubricating as well as clean- ing, This fluffy, heavy, ivory-colored mixture is whipped up from South American lanolin. It is spread evenly over the face (and not much is needed) and wiped firmly with cleansing tissues.
 That is the cleaning. To effect fabrication, spead on a very thin layer and leave it on overnight. or, you can leave it on for from 10 to 30 minutes and then wash It oil with soap and water.
 PEANUT OIL WILL DO ..
 Women with oily skins, of course, should remember now as before that soap and water are their skins best friends. And there are many good cleansing agents for normal skins and those with a tendency toward dryness. Plain olive oil is fine and, when that's not to be had, the oil of the humble peanut will do 8 job, But these really oily preparations are great comfort to skin that tends to chap or dry.
 Another interesting new cosmetic for the already-cleaned face is an oily lotion which is to be used as makeup. It has healthy color of its own, and could go without powder in a war plant. Or it ca nbe used as a foundation for makeup in your usual way with one exception; very light powder.
 The smooth, long-lasting liquid comes in a small-necked bottle. You place your flngertip over the open ing, turn bottle upside down, and the drop thus placed on your finger tip is enough for one application. It is dotted on each cheek, on chin and on forehead, and smoothed over the face quickly.
 This a Hollywood makeup spe- cialist's idea-pretty smooth.

 THEY LOOK ALIKE
 IN UNIFORM
 Junior Leaguers and stenogra- phers are dressing alike in the uni- form of the WAACS and the WAVES. Girls with little education and girls with college degrees are working side by side on assembly lines.
 Mrs. Average-Means and Mrs Wen-To-Do are worrying out loud about the same things: How to keep heir houses warm enough for com Sort; how to get by on cup of sof- ice a day; and how to reconcile themselves to wearing rayon and cotton stockings.
 People who live beside each other are becoming neighbors as they share rides, look after each others children as means of meeting the help problems, and try to dispel the gloom of practice black-outs by see- ing them through together.
 So while there are still people who worry about the wars taking Dem- ocracy from us, the outward signs indicate that the American people haven't seemed so truly democratic since pioneer days.

FATE OF THE TOAD IN THE WELL

FATE OF THE TOAD IN THE WELL
 Two months ago a toad died in our rock walled ten-feet-deep well said a query published in this col umn month or more ago. The odor was very bad for while but has about left. Is the water harmful to drinkp (Mrs. R. P. K)
 Answer: The passing of the toad will not make the water harmful to drink. If you knew the toad was in the well why didn't you remove the intruder or the remainsp
 It should not be difficult to shine a fiashlight down a well ten feet deep and find a toad or the toad's remains, and fish it out with pail or a sieve or basket attached to a pole.
 MT. w. H. c. offers some infor- nation concerning toads and what to do about them when they invade the well:
 While I was a boy on the farm we went through this experience .many times, and had a well de- veloped technique for dealing with 1t. The well was 26 feet deep. When the characteristic taste of a toad developed in the water we flashed a light down the well from a large mirror. When we thus located MT. Toad we let down a large tin pail with perforated bottom and weighted with stone. Allowing it to remain for a while we would haul it up. and after a few hauls the toad, dead or alive, came up in the pail.
 But eventually we corrected the condition permanently by placing a life trout in the well. After that no more toads were found in the well. When we sold the farm the trout, after ten years in the well, was apparently as well as ever.
 Although MT. c. does not explain, assume the trout gobbled up any toads that got into the well. But there is little choice between toad and fish, alive or dead, in the well, the one is no better and no worse than the other, so far as fltnesS of the water for drinking is con cerned.
 To disinfect a well dump half a barrel of freshly burnt lime (quick- lime, caustic lime, burnt lime, live lime, unslaked lime) in the well. Scrub down the walls with the re- sulting milk of lime. Pump out all the water, scrub the entire wall and floor of we'll again, allow well to refill and dump in another half barrel of unslaked lime, stir up the water and let stand 24 hours, then let well refill and pump out again. refill again If necessary, until the water is clear and free from lime.
 As much lime as water can hold in solution is quite harmless to drink in any case. Tn clear lime water" there is actually less lime (calcium) than in equal amount of milk.

pressed as making the pattern at the cloth available, Instead of your being able to buy enough cloth to make the pattern of your choice. Or youll have to stretch the ma terials, If a pattern calls for five yards of material and you have only three, youll have to use your ingenuity, revise the pattern and stlll make a dress with the material you have on hand.
 Then there may possibly be an adoption of cloth-saving, stand ardized patterns. This would cut down on labor as we'll as material, WIPE official point out.
