'TTou know I spend my days envying you

sincere In this. In her own way, the
Way of a woman when war comes, she
was giving all her time to working for

thing she, a mere woman, could do to

Directions for Making Potpourri
S"o A editor of Woman's Page:
Dear Madam Tou have

coarse, that roses v.111 not be ready to jsther
iST. ""3? "? W rm' hut want to bo ready
When they do bloom.
(Mrs.) WILLIAM T.
The flowers should be gathered In the
early morning, while still fragrant with the
daw. Toss' them lightly on a table In a
C061, airy place, and let them lie until the
dew has evaporated, then put them Into a
large glass jar and sprinkle salt over every
half-Inch layer of the petals. Add to the
first lot from day to day until enough have
Been gathered, then let them stand for ten
days after the last have been put In, stlr
rlnr tvtry morning, but' otherwise keeping
tiem tightly covered.
Prepare one-quarter ounce of mace, one
tilf ounce allspice and cloves, all coarsely
ground or pounded In a mortar, one-half
of a' grated nutmeg, one-half ounce cinna
mon broken Into bits, one ounce of pow
dered orris root and one-quarter pound of
dried lavender flowers. Mix these together
In, a bowl or double the quantity If you
have many rose !eaes; then fill the rose
Jar with alternate layers of this and the
petals. As the Jar Is In course of filling,
lut a few drops of oil of rose, geranium,
bitter almonds and orange flower on the
layers, and atr he whole pour one ounce
Of.eau de cologne. This will keep for years,
and .from time to time tuberoses, heliotrope
or some other sweet-smelling flower may
be added.
Use of Evaporated Milk
To ths editor of Woman's Page;
. Psr Madam I have, heard that a savins can

and how to prtpare It for use? (Mrs. I W.
Tea, you will find a very good substitute
tor fresh milk can be prepared as follows:
Tp one can of evaporated milk, costing
twelve cents In moat stores, add one and
Da-half quarts of boiling water, stirring
tn slowly. Then add two level teaspoonfuls
ef- sugar and one level teaspoontul ot salt.
When cool you will find It Is richer than

There's nothing like having a snug
little Scotch cap that will stay on
securely while motoring, or when
visiting the breezy shore.
It was Interesting to watch tho different
leave-takings.
One woman, when her son stooped to
kiss her, broke down and sobbed wildly
on his shoulder. He looked up over her
head and forced a smile at the "boys,'' but
one could see he was fearfully upset.
Another little woman was cheerful during
the time that the train stood In the shed,
but after It had gone she broke down,
gave a few little sobs, then braced up and
left the station smiling. One couldn't help
contrasting these two mothers, the second
so bravely overcoming her emotions.

No Permission Should Be Asked
To the Editor of Woman's rape;
Dear Ms dim At a format affair may a lady
mirw" ?nother S'ntleman without the ??
mission of her escort? If not who Is to n.k
the permmton. the lsdy herself o? the rentl.
msn who asks her to dance? Whit Is the

s.ks to eecort her hqme and Is It expeeted tha"

when he leaves her at her home? "m",nlln
onATEFUL.
At any affair, whether formal or Infor
mal, a girl should always be free to dance
with any one she pleases. The Idea ot a
special escort with whom she may dance
alone Is not at all correct, and no girl
should allow herself to be put In this posl
Hon. Even If a girl Is engaged to a man
he will not object to her dancing with other
men In these days. The old-fashioned Idea
that a woman should dance only with her
fiance or husbano Is long since out of date,
and for a girl who Is not engaged the posi
tion Is absolutely unthinkable.
If a man takes a girl home from a
dance she should thank him politely and
say she hopes she wilt see him on another
occasion. If she cares to hae him call-she
may say sho would be glad to have him
call some evening But t would be better
not to name any time unless the young man
asks her to do so.
Bridegroom's Raiment
To the Editor of Woman's Page:
Dear Madam How should the brldesrroom
dress for a 6 o'clock weddlns? JOHN.
The correct clothes for a bridegroom at a
6 o'clock wedding are full-dress suit, white
waistcoat and stlff-bosomed shirt, standing
collar and small bow tie of white lawn,
black silk socks, pumps and white gloves.
Any formal affair after 6 o'clock requires
dress clothes for a man.

Care of Boy's Complexion
To fa Editor of Woman's Pagt!
Dear Madam Will you pleas print how to
remove pimples and blackheads from the face
of a boy of about sixteen years of ass?
A. J. T.
Cleanse the face thoroughly with warm
water and liquid green soap. Then, after
steaming It by holding hot cloths on It for
several minutes, wipe dry. Many of the
smaller blackheads will come out of their
own accord, but the larger stubborn ones
must be removed by gently squeezing out
with a small clean cloth. A blickhead in
strument which cornea for the purpose is
useful An astringent should then be ap
plied to close the pores. Many bova of th
age are subject to eruptions of the skin, I
and the most efficacious way of curing them I
is to regulate the diet carefully, to exrcla I
rFUlarly and to take dally baths, rubbing I
tfef sn briskly whan drying. I

THE GOOD HEALTH
QUESTION BOX
Dy DR. JOHN HARVEY KELLOGG
FOOD IS the natural laxative Kor a
healthy colon, a healthy alimentary
canal, It is all the laxative that Is required
Whenever food Is taken Into the stomach,
peristaltic activity Is Immediately set up, a
peristaltic wae traveling from one end of
the alimentary canal to the other
The alimentary canal Is thlrtv feet long
Suppose you hae a rope thirty feet long
and take hold of ono end anil gle a lltt c
twitch a little ae tratcls to the other
end of the rope. Now that is what hap
pens when food Is taken Into the stomach
Waves travel from one end of the stomach
lo the other. These waves do not stop vit'i
the lower opening of tho stomach but ron
tlnue all the way along down to the lower
opening of the Intestine
This explains why there Is n natural dp.
sire for bowel movement directly after wi
meal Observations mad bv tho X ra

the eating of a meal, and immediately after
ward, the material In the Intestine mno

hours previously
Food supplies all the necessary hulk and
provides the necessary lubrication and like
wise the necessary chemical stimulation
Indeed, all thnt Is necessary to promofo
Intestinal activity
But we havo ceased to live biologically
and In consequence constipation has come to
be an almost unlxersal disease, a malady
that Interferes more with human happiness
and human cfllclcncy than any other one
disease. Tt is a terrlblo handicap to many
a man wno tries to keen his business Go

brain Is befogged by the horrible polinni
absorbed from his colon This unUcrsai
constipation la the primary course of mot
chronic maladies with which physicians
have to deal Now the reason why this
condition exists Is because wo havo de
parted from tho natural and primitive mode
of life We must learn to livo biologically,
scientifically.

It is quite possible that you had a phle

good for almost all kinds of pain.
Acid of the Tomato
. Is the acid of the tomato good for one with

The Year's End
Full happy Is the man who comes at last
Into the safe completion of his year
Weathered tho perils of his spring, that
blast
How many blossoms promising and dear I
And of his summer, with dread passions
fraught
That oft, like fire, through tho ripening
corn,
Blight all with mocking death and leave
distraught
Loved ones to mourn the ruined waste
forlorn.
But now. though autumn gave but harvest
slight.
Oh, grateful Is he to tho powers above
For winter's sunshine, and the lengthened
night
By hearthslde genial with the warmth
of loe.
Through slivered days of vistas gold and
green
Contentedly he glides away, serene.

LIVING UP TO BILLY
By ELIZABETH COOPER
. . .i,mnl. written In the form of letter to
ynunTg"mo,P.?er.er!'.n,gT,,.;rm0m,Trr,,onr.sl one of the most gr.pp.ng litera
products of the Twentieth Centurj.
Dear Kate:
1 got a lot to tell you cause things have
shaken up a bit. Do you remember that
little Kngllsh woman who had a oaby In the
hospital next to Billy? Well. 1 went out to
see her one Sunday, it was such a nice,
warm spring day. J'-'st seemed as though 1
had to do somethi.ig different, and the
greatest shock I could give my system was
to leave the pavements of New York for a
time. I dressed Billy In a blue velvet coat I
bought at Macy's, and he "had on a blue hat
over his little red curls, and his shoes had
dark blue tassels on the front of them, nnd
ho looked cunning enough to .eat. Ho was
so proud of his tassels that he showed them
to everybody In the street car and In tho
train. It took us almost two hours to get
out there, and the pcoplo mi- us with a
horse and buggy and drove us to their
house.
Why. Kate, I didn't know there was such
places! The house Is on a side hill with
great trees around It. and In the front of
It Is a little lake with ducks and geese
swimming on It They had a great big
stable opening on to a pasture where thero
was cales and cows and horses and pigs.
I think I stood half an hour looking at tho
pigs It is funny, but I nlways thought a
pig a sort of n ham hanging up In the
window of a delicatessen. Instead of being
a lle, friendly animal that will come when
ou call It. There were a lot of chickens,
white leghorns, I think the woman called
them, and they looked friendly and home
like wandering around the place talking and
singing to themselves like a bunch of happy
women Mrs. Smith let me feed them She
gave me a milk pan full of corn nnd told
mo to hit on Its edge with a spoon, and
they came flocking from every direction,
some half flying, half running, as If they
were nfrald they would miss the party.
They were so tame that I had to hold tho
pan up high to Keep some oi mo snssy
roosters from cllnblng Into It Mrs. Smith
knows them all nnd can tell If one Is miss
ing, though they all look alike to me. She
says she hates to kill them cause It seems
like eating some of the family Her hus
band laughed nnd said. "I will tell you
the tragedy of tho wrong hen" Ho said,
"You know once a week we have chicken
pot pie, and for seven days Mary goes
mourning around wondering which one of
her precious chickens sho can part with
nnd live. We hear tho virtues and tho
vices of each old biddy, cause my wife
loves each feather The other day after
heart-breaking talks Mary decided that
Peggy could be killed, and a motherly old
hen who wanted to set should be tied up
We caught them nt night and put a blue
string on Peggy, and n white string on the
motherly hen. and tied them to tho Ice
house door Mary took an hour and a
half to explain to me that tho chicken with
the blue string was to be eaten, and she
of the white string was to be left tied to
the Icehouse door until her longings toward
motherhood would stop.
"In the morning when I went out to see
those chickens, blest If I could tell which
was to be killed, and which was not, but
I thought I would take my chance on the
fattest, and I took her head off. I sup
pose you noticed Mary's eyes It was the
wrong head "
Billy and the kid played out-doors all
day and his face got sunburnt and his
eyes sparkled, and ho looked Just like
another baby Her boy Is only six months
older than Billy, but he Is so much bigger,
and It Just makes me sick to think I can't
give this to Billy and let him have a chance

It In Its bed and your husband looking up
at you proud? Nothing to be ashamed cf,
and nothing to bo afraid of. That la the
biggest kind of heaven I know, but I guess
It ain't for us. Wo got In wrong from the
start, but oh. Kate, I do "wish things was
different
I don't care so much for myself, but I -do
want to get Billy out of this life where
thieving and being a crook Is the natural
thing, and a, person on the level is looked
upon ns being queer Sometimes when I
sco Hilly do some little thing or have a
look In his face iiko Jim, my heart most
stops beating. I don't pray, but I do say,
"Oh. If there Is such a thing as a God,
don't let Billy grow up llko his father."
And, there are a lot of your llttlo ways that
I would Just as soon not see cropping out
In him. .
Well, good night, I am glad you are get
ting along so well. I can't send you any
money this time, cause I am flat broke
since I paid your storago bill, but I will
glvo you twenty next month. Do write
mo a decent letter, Kate. Your last letter
was simply a touch from tho beginning to
the end. and between you and your friends,
I am kept pretty well cleaned up. NAN.
