I deal with a few of them here, To strengthen finger -nails soak them in almond or olive oil once a week. Paint your nails with a little colourless Iodine and avoid using nail varnish for a few weeks. If you have a chin that Is inclined to sag use an astringent lotion and pat it in briskly, When you've been doing a lot of washing-up and vett' dirty work, use warm olive oil to get the grime out of your hands, then rinse under a running tap. To save that red, soft look when you've had your hands in water a good deal, rub kitchen salt in while they are still damp. For your regular wash, of course, you'll nae gentle Palmolive soap, because it is so soothing and cleansing. Corns are a frequent source of discomfort to many, They are caused by pressure and friction. so avoid tight or too -small footwear. To re- move the obnoxious things, use n good two-way corn plaster, This ends the pain by relieving pressure, while the medicated pad quickly loosens the corn, and it comes right out - root and all. If you are a bit discouraged about your eyelashes, smooth a little castor oil over your lids every night. It gradually darkens the lashes and eye- brows and helps them grow.

Carpenter. famous British Journalist, Twelve million British Women have a new war job, They are housewives, called to arms in a stirring' broadcast opeeph by Mr. Herbert. Morrison, British minister of supply, to fight with the attribute which distinguishes the good housewife ail over the world - thrift 1 Each recruit in this vast women's army is pledged to be "Up and At 'Ern" -by saving every scrap of raw material that can be turned into war material. At this time of increased pressure on shipping millions of tons of space a year can thus be saved for those essentials Britain imports from overseas. There is no need to stress the 110- portance of their service. Its value inay be gauged from the fact that one small London district Is already making a hundred pounds a week from the sale of household waste for pig food: This is only one of five groups of materials which can be saved in the national interest. The others are paper, bones, rags and metal, Un- inspiring weapons with which to wage a crusade, which will be wield- ed nevertheless with enthusiasm, First operation in the campaign was a march to those corners of every home where lumber is kept. Every housewife knows the strange assortment of small objects she keep=s bet•auae they may one day be useful. The accumulations .if twelve snilliou homes represented vast treasure trove. It had to be collected, sorted and got to the factories to be turned into war material with the least possible delay. So every town, every village throughout the country made a bat- talion of itself to get on with the job -competing with each other in the speed with which they could com- plete it. A town in Kent had ten thousand houses cleared and the material de- livered to the factories in less than a week. This is how they did it. One housewife in every street called on all the others. She made a list of those who would want help in the sorting of their lumber. Those with small children had not time perhaps to give a whole morning to turning out every cupboard in the house. Another list was made of those with time enough to give help to others.

OTTAWA, September 6, 1940. grouped together. These went from house to house, sorting cupboards, the attic, garage -even garden sheds. • All salvage was so, -ted carefully to its proper group. Then carried out to lorries and driven° direct to factories waiting to deal with it, Wooten in another town enlisted the help of small boys to help with the loading. They borrowed cars and lorries. Drove them up and down the roads. One lorry loaded four tons of scrap metal in less than an hour ! A London borough risked everyone to hunt out their scrap metal and pat lit ou the pavement outside their homes for collection. Next day the Is.reels preented an extraordinary sight. Outside each house was an in- credible assortment of objects. There were beds, baths, pails, old bicycles, Prams. lawn mowers, garden rail- ings, children's toys. Even hair curl- ers and lipstick cases were to be seen destined for transformation into guns, tanks and aeroplanes. It must not be imagined, however, that this campaign to turn I'aw mat- erial into war material is a mere skirmish, to be settled by one on- slaught on household "junk." Each re- cruit has helped to launch the first attack with the donation of her home's reserves. She is preparing now a blockade of daily vigilance. Regarding icer home as a battle posi- tion which waste must not be allow- ed to leave unless marshalled in the national interest.

In war much more is needed. Special paper is wanted for the male - Ing and packing of explosives. Photo- graphic, tracing and chart papers are needed for the Army. Navy and Air Force, More than 10,000 tons of clean waste paper is available for preserv- ation every week. So the saving of every possible scrap is one of the most important of the Salvage.

Tooth paste and face cream tubes. The tins which have contained vege- tables, chocolate, meat, milk and fish. These all have a variety of war uses. A pail for household scraps roust have a place. How valuable these are for the feeding of pigs and poultry can be gathered from the fact that special machinery for their toner. sion into meal is belug installed in various parts of the country. No less than forty pigs can be fed each week from the kitchen waste of every thousand homes! It does not matter how small the parcels are as long as the contents of each are properly sorted for easy despatch to the proper quarter. It takes only one old envelope to make a cartridge wad. If each housewife'; thrift resulted in the saving of only two ounces of bones a week, Britain would get more than 211,00,100 tons a year One or two tins saved every week froth every home would snake an en- ormous yearly tonnage. And it takes only one ton of metal to make 150 rases for 18 pounder shells, t'niulpo •lug though the work of this army may seem to the house• wives of other lands. it is an import- ant, if somewhat strange, develop- ment of modern war.
