Howard did what any other skilled
newspaper Than would have done in
similar circumstances. He -'had the
biggest news heat in ,history! :Admir-

Howard desired a typewritten mes-

1.a 'Do,peohc, By a coincidence, the

skin. Soft water is preferable to ]card,
and rain water Is ideal. If the water
to ton hard, soften 1t by adding a
dash of bran. Because soap is import-
ant and can either hells or hinder
your skin, T advise regular use of
soothing palmolive soap, because of
its cleansing and beautifying results.
After thoroughly rinsing the skin,
cleanse with Three -Purpose cream, a
delightful cream that is a treat for
the skin.
Now for a few "don'ts". Don't
plaster new make-up on top of a stale
one. Tine ]»'eases in the dirt and
causes blackheads and open pores.
Don't use dirty powder puffs or face
towels. Wash them often to destroy
any lurking germs. Don't scoff at this
advice; it is very sound, believe rue!

The .Elver of an English lorry was

What's the trouble?" asked a
passing farmer.
"I'm in a fix, and no mistake,"
was the reply. "I've got 400 gallons

MANY CONTRIBUTE MONEY
TO CANADA'S WAR EFFORT
"It is breaking my heart not being
able to help the boys on their long
marches in France," wrote a Halifax
war veteran to Hon. J. L. Ralston,
Minister of Finance. And, unable to
walk or work, the old soldier sent a
dollar as a "very small help towards
stopping the war,"
The gift, splendid in its sense of
saeridce. Is typical of a stream of
free-will contributions to Canada's
war effort which began with the out.
break of war and still continues, The
donors embrace all classes. Their
gifts are free of all conditions. The
one desire is to help to win the war.
In amount, contributions run from
the widow's mite of an old age pen-
sioner of 83 to the more ambitious
gift of one day's pay from groups of
employees in some industrial estab•
lishment. Generally, donors do not
wish their names to be given.
Out of a relatively small superan-
nuation income, a retired judge
sends a hundred dollars a month to
the Treasury. A Pennsylvania school-
teacher sent a hundred dollar bill
with an earnest expression of her be-
lief in the justice of the Allied cause.
and of her desire to jtelp. A lady in
New York sent $2,000 "as a small ef-
fort in backing democracies against
totalitarians." A wealthy non-resid-
ent, with a substantial investment in
Canada. voluntarily offered to turn
over to the Dominion Government all

him from Canadian t Ca lion loris the

course of the tear, Before the War
Loan was floated, an investor of mod-
erate matins olfered to lend the Gov-
ernment $10.000 free of interest, for
tate duration, A New York doctor
sent $1100. A lady in Timmins has
matte 1 separate contributions of $50.
So across the nine provinces of the
Dominion. the spirit of democracy
has prevailed.
