The psychological changes In working women since the war began have been treat In educated and In illiterate alike. In the beginning came the enlistments.

London hospital nnd see each patient peisonally. The Woman came to London nnd vUltA.t all the hospitals In turn The authorities permitted her to walk slowly throuch the wards. But In the admittance book of no hospital could she ever find the name for which she sought. "Perhaps he's forgotten his name." she told the nurses hopefully So many heads on' the pillows were swathed In bandages rhat they proxed un recognizable At last the hospital staffs pointed out to her that It was a hopeless quest, and that it would be much better fcr all concerned If she went quietly home nd watted for news "The War Office will be sure to let you know at once If your husbarid Is found," thev told her But she shook her head and answered "I am sure my man Is somewhere In London I am going on until I find him " Once she saw a soldier whose face closely resembled the one he sought, and she hur ried forward The soldier smiled.

Into the wards of the great Charlne Crow Hospltal was carried a much-battered Tom my, of whom nobody knew anything The shock of battle had robbed him of his speech.

His memory, too. was absolutely gone, for when the nurses brought him pencil and paper he could not write down! anything about himself There are thousands of similar cases ln London today cases which need special treatment to effect a cure He could eat and drink .and sleep, and was perfectly conscious of all that went on about him but as far as memory and voice and hearing went he was dead to the woHd.

But dis appointment again greeted her, for the face was years and years older than that of her husband, wrinkled, with gray hair and deep-engraved lines around the eyes and month. The man stared at her vacantly nnd she passed on. On her return through the big ward she heard a sudden sound. Her name was being shouted at the top pitch of some ono'B voice. It was the man vho had Btared at her so vacantly but a few minutes before, but who now was sitting up In bed, with flushed fac and eager voice, calling her to como to his bedside. ,. ... . . "Why, he can speak now," said the sister of the ward, hurrying up. But the man ln the bed and the woman whose name he had called were not listen-' lng. For they had found each other!

ML ' nocei, iseiievue-strauora xvianagers viw rairona j Must Regulate Action, Asserts Adelphia Manager . . The proper place to curtail menus as a means of food conservation Is In the home and not in the hotels and restaurants, ac cording to J M Frnzler, manager of the Bellevue-Stratfor'd Hotel. Mr. Frailer of fered this view today In discussing the pro posed plnn to have one beefless day a week In hotels throughout the country. The plnn was Introduced by the New York Hotel Association, and the suggestion which Included the serving of "war brea,d" at every meal and a radical curtailment In the use of pork products nnd nil butter and fats was made to Herbert C Hoqyor, prospec tive national food administrator. Mr. Frazler took the Hand that nt this time when food conservation Is a necessity, economy should he practiced In the home. The beefless day each week In the hotels and restaurants of the country, he said, will tint come, unless there Is a direct re quest for such n measure from Mr. Hoover In the event nf such n request, hotels and restaurants throughout the country will quickly follow the suggestion, he said According to Mr. Frazler, waste in the modern hotel Is minimized to such an extent ns to be a negligible quantity. Tho huge cold-storage plants preserve the food, and all that Is left over Is used In some man ner. For Instance, gTlstte and fats that art left on the plates after meals by hotel patrons are refined and the oils remove.. Individual soap left over Is rebolled and tht ' oils secured used as a lubricant for elevator plungers. Other scraps are sold to garba collectors to feed hogs and other animal, o If food conservation should become id. effective In the home a tn the hotels, the would be no food problem, acoordlnR to Mr. 2 Frazler. David B. Trovan, manager of the Adel phia Hotel, also said that he believed thatj the one beefless day ln th hotels and res taurants of Philadelphia was far ln th future, should It materialize at all. At the present time, with the high cost of food products and labor, the average hotel could not nfford to follow the suggestion, unleat the majority of Its patrons favored the Idea Steps to curtail the number of dishes on the menu cards were taken sometime aito, he said, nnd all hotels were aiding In th saving of food aa much as possible. According to the attitude taken' by boTfi Mr. 'Frazler and Mr. Provan. patrons of Philadelphia's leading hotels need not fear i that they will be forced to do without meat at any meal any day In the week.

You simply apply a few drops of this freezono upon a tender, aching corn or a hardened callus. Instantly the sore ness disappears nnd shortly, you will find the corn or callus so loose nnd shriveled that you lift it off with the fingers. Not n bit of" pain or soreness is felt when applying freezone or after wards. It doesn't even irritate the skin or flesh.

There's No Unsteadiness ABOUT THE BUSINESS POLICY OF The American Stores It's built for long and constant wear and works out as truly and surely as the multiplication table HIGH QUALITY heaped in FULL MEASURE upon THE VERY LOWEST PLATFORM OF PRICE. It's easy, by concealment of some facts and exaggeration, of others, to bias well-meaning minds: and wild things have been said about the cutting out of 'our Delivery and Telephone Service, and the "tremendously unreasonable" features of the proposition. But foolish talk soon falls to the bottom, so don't believe everything you hear the folks who say it, don't. Delivery and telephone service, though no doubt a convenience, was largely and broadly abused; and it was never intended that it should become such ajormidablc item of expense. It crept slowly into the business, and like, the peach in the poem, it grew and grew and GREW; and became "a taleof woe," for it was a burdensome and direct tax upon the household' purse. Following the program urged by the Government and keeping in mind the compelling thought of "war-time economy," we took the initiative and cut out both 'phones and delivery. In these turbulent times it's obviously impossible to follow the lines of normal conditions; but evea so, there's lack of endeavor in simply trying to make the ends meet. YoU must tic them together; and that's just what we're helping you to do TO SAVE. If you learn the way of careful folks, you'll see how wonderfully well "IT PAYS TO CARRY IT HOME."
