Latest Design for Blouse
Most people are so heartless and
possess so little of the quality of
human kindness that all they see in
anyone is what is^on the outside. Nat-
urally those who are handicapped in
presenting a pleasing appearance by
pimples, blotches, “breaking out,” ec-
zema, etc. on their skin are not going
to get any attention. That is the rea-
son you find such folks so backward
and shrinking from the “cold shoul-
der” they have come to expect.

In the winter garden of fashions,
nothing has flourished so luxuriant-
ly as coats. They have never been

signs within the memory of the oldest

long, slim model, a long flaring model,
a wrap-around, a stralgnt or an un-

To its nether depths of shame and
topmost heights of glory, the Sixteenth
century is summed up in Sir Walter
Raleigh. He was Gilbert’s’ yoflfig half-
brother, thirteen years his junior, and
a kinsman of Drake, Hawkins and
Grenville, all men of Devon.
He played the dashing young gallant,
butchering Irish prisoners of war; he
played the leader in the second sack
of Cadiz; he played the knight errant
in the Azores, when all alone he
stormed the breached walls of a fort;
he played the hero of romance In a
wild quest up the Orinoco for the dream
king El Dorado and the mythical gold-
en city of Manoa. Always he played
to the gallery, and when he must dress
the part of Queen Elizabeth’s adoring
lover, he let it be known that his jew-
eled shoes had cost six thousand pieces
of sold. He wrote some of the noblest
prose in our language, besides most ex-
quisite verse, invented distilling of
fresh water from the sea, and paid for
the expeditions which founded Vir-
ginia.
So many and varied parts this mighty
actor played supremely well, holding
the center of the stage as long as
there was an audience to hiss, or to
applaud him. Only In private he
shirked heights of manliness that he

A physician who reaches out to

hind him that is worth while. Such a

the Invalids Hotel in Buffalo, N. Y.
Ho was an eminent physician, & lead-
ing and honored citizen, known for his
honesty and executive ability. His
study along medical lines, and his
knowledge of the remedial qualities of
herbs and plants led to the discovery of
his wonderful herbal remedy, Doctor
Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, the
womap’s tonic which has had the
greatest number of supporters for the
past fifty years. It is just the herbal
tonic required if - a woman is borne
down by pain and sufferings at regular
or irregular intervals, by nervousness
or .dizzy spells, headache or backache.

Landreth sHarrison of Minneapolis,
American Legion Member, Is
One Prominent Example.
Landreth Harrison, of Minneapolis,
Minn., a member of the American Le-
gion and rehabilitation student under
the care of the United States Vet-
erans’ bureau, is one of the outstand-
ing successes among the disabled ex-
service men of the country, as he has
become known as a specialist in inter-
national affairs.
Harrison, a lieutenant in the One
Hundred and Fourth Aero squadron,
was discharged from service, suffer-
ing shellshock. As he had already fin-
ished his college course, he was al-
lowed to complete his studies, special-
izing Jn foreign trade relations with
a view to entering the consular service.
So excellent was his college work that
on graduation he was awarded a fel-
lowship in international law from the
Carnegie endowment for international
peace. Only ten such fellowships are
given each year. Lieutenant Harri-
Morale is merely a different word
for backbone.

One of the most novel of all the
unusual stunts resulting from the in-
genuity of ex-service men has been
reported by members of Harold John-
son post No. 172, American Legion,
Wamego, Kan., who promoted and
put over the annual crow hunt. Shortly
after the witching hour on a moonlight
night, 120 townsmen and farmers,
headed by two captains chosen from
the Legion post membership, started
from the town in automobiles for the
rookery some fifty miles away. The
strategy of the war-trained service
men resulted in 1,441 casualties among
the enemy. A bounty of ten cents a
head for the victims went to the Le-
gion post treasury. Another good sum
went to the post auxiliary, who sold
refreshments to the tired hunters.
It isn’t worth while to be so aw-
fully individualistic as to openly dif-
fer with everybody.

It seems that the kitchen in question
Is frequented by children of Turkomen,
a race of Tartars whose religious scru-
ples are very exacting, and they have
discovered that the lard used in the
preparation of the meals is hog fat. To
this they object. Further, they protest-
ed that meals were being prepared by
persons who were not members of their
religion.
The American relief administration,
dways willing to meet with reasonable
equirenients. has acceded to the re-
