NOW that natural bsauty Is IN
style, . good and healthy skin
il all the more essential. And
there's no mystery and precious
little effort to having one = e you
eat properly, rest enough, and
get some exercise.
Direct care Of the skin requires
just three things; keep II clean,
keep it soft Keep It from getting
too dry or too oily. A Czech
pharmacist who made q name for
herself on the Rue da Ia PAX be-
fore the war, Is winning lasting
friends here now by stressing sim.
piiclty and candor In advice to her
clients. She maintains you got along
Very well indeed with two skim
care preparations.
From her, II your skin Is nor
mai, you get this ticket: please
wash with soap and water at
night, apply night cream; and in
the morning, use q little skin
emulsion. Nothing else except
makeup.
Dry-skinned ladies are advised
to use the routine, except to omit
the soap and water washing sew
eral times a week. FOR oily skin
health, wash at night and apply
a lotion; wash in the morning and
apply the~lotion and after that o
zinc oxide foundation cream.
The emulsion, which cleans and
softens, Is made Of lanoline, white
wax, vegetable. oil and cholesterol
or extract Of lanolin. The night
cream, which softens, is vegetable
oil with carotene in 1t and some
tomato juice. The oily skin lotion
Is tar to safeguard against il1fec-
ton, alcohol and resorcin and
water for drying effect.
STEAM BATH
OPENS PORES
The Czech's chief treatment Is
cleaning the skin" she opens
the pores with o stream bath done
with chamomile, the softening
old-fashioned home remedy for a
rash, and then she applies an
astringent.
OF course, none Of these prepa-
rations alone will reclaim q bad
complexion which tells of poor
health. If you have persistent
skin problems, you need to con-
suit a physician. With good general
physical condition, you should have
a fresh complexion, and without
fussing too much.

 MT. Bush stated reports coming in from fall campaigns show that in every instance where USo has been included in Q local war chest campagin the goal has been ex- ceeded,
 There nre now 5,345 communities which have organized to raise funds to meet the $32,000,000 goal, MT. Bush stated, fifteen communi- ties having organized during the past week.
 while 1t now appears reasonably certain that our goal of S32000, ,000 will be attained, we fear that the demands for USO services arc com Ing at such a rate that even If we should exceed the goal which was set last spring we shall not have any surplus,
 "As a matter of fact, Chester I, Barnard, president Of USo, has pointed out that USO will probably never be ablo to do all that 1t wants to do and all that 1t is asked to do MT. Barnard has said that in this global war 1t is probable that USO may never reach some of the fighting forces, for reasons of mill. tary security or because of lack of shipping,
 "USO will however do It's utmost 10 render service wherever possible, and to do this we must continue to press our campaign for funds.

WHAT IS THIS PRIcE"CEILING"-?

It. the lid on your cost of living for the duration.
 Since war started, goods you want have boon scarce. Everything must go to that our soldiers need. That means less gooes for us "stay-at -homes." But there is moro money to spend. When there's moro money to spend and less goods to buy,pri- ces are bound to go up. So "Cei1ing" has been nailed down. But price ceilings can only do their job If everyone knows what they are and how they work. Questions What is price ceiling? Answer. It's tho top price that any sel- Ter is permitted by law to charge you
 and that you, buyer, will have to pay during tho war. Question, What is the Law? Answer: The Emergency Price Control Act
 signed by the President January 30. Question: Will there be ceiling prices
 on everything?
 Answer, No. Only on cost of living
 items and certain services at tho
 present time.
 Question, Will this guarantee my family better standard of living? Answer. Not necessarily. Nc are ct war. We are cutting down wherever we can.

but a little voice inside, his better self, kept urging him not to tell. First he would listen to his own selfish desire and then run a little way to look for Buster Bear.
 So he would run a little way, then sit down; run a little farther and sit down. All the time he was so busy fighting with himself that he had no eyes for anything else, and so he didn't see Reddy Fox hiding behind an old stump just ahead of him. At last Peter sat down within two jumps of the old stump, and there he fought it all out with him. self, and he decided that he wouldn't tell Buster Bear.
 Now, it usually pays to do right. It paid Peter this time, though he didn't know it was going to. You see, he sat still long time just two jumps from the old stump, behind which Reddy Fox was hiding with his mouth fairly watering at the thought of what a good dinner Peter would make. If he had decided to go on and tell Buster Bear. he would have passed right close to that old stump and-well-probably Reddy Fox would have had a chance to find out just how good a

WindOlU Problem Solued Through
 Use Of DrapeS
By BETTY WELLS

I'm keeping scrap book Of your suggestions, because they are so pleasant honey" writes NILS and do we take bow! But now I'm in need of some personal ad- vice and so I hope you'll lend an ear. l seem to be much too vene- tian-blind conscious because I can't figure the window problems out in my new living room since venetian blinds are out. I hesitated long be- fore taking the place because I like interesting windows and view. But here it is so ideal for the baby that I gave in. Now I have the curtain question with neither view nor win dows that will do anything for the room.
 ''I enclose a diagram of the prob lem-a door with just two short none-too-large windows on either side. I'll have to make some use of the draperies I have-brown ground and white sweet pea design on them. I thought 1 could have them extend over the side of the windows a bit to make the windows seem a bit larger. The wall paper is ele- gant, cream with a gold wreath. Any suggestions will be much ap- preciated.
 What about swag draping the win dows each to one side, thus framing the door rather impressively? It wouldn't cost much and will produce startling results.
 Have the draperies extend over onto the wall to make the windows seem a bit larger, and if they look all right to the floor that will be best by all means. But if they seem too high waisted and stringy that way. you could have them just to the sill, it would probably be better to use just sheer material instead of the chintz, maybe gold ninon.
