Taking a Bath In Winter,
Few people understand how to pro -
teat and care for their skin in the
cold of winter. The result is evidenc-
ed in the increasing prevalence of

lips, itching legs and chiiblales in
these days of silk hosiery, low shoes,
lie?]id soap and paper towels.
Knowledge about your skin, its

in his view, as expressed at the
Hague,
Great Britain has made for her-
self a reputation of being a bit
easy in the matter of war debts,
Iter desire has been to bring about
a general cancellation to all ha
debtedness between nations arising
from the war. The United States
could never be brought around to
the point where her people could
see the sense of letting go some. of
the millions that accrued to her for
financing the war, while the others
fought.

the fore with the thought that
