Cause of Red Hands To the Editor of Woman's Page: Dear Madam Will you please tell mo the cause of red hands? WORRIED. Red hands are often caused by house work without proper protection for the hands with gloves. When this Is not the case, tight clothing may contribute to the redness, also an unwise diet or Impure soaps and carelessness In drying. Eat lean meats, plenty of fresh green vegetables and fruits, and avoid pastries and greasy foods. 'Rub a little oatmeal or cornmeal Into the hands after washing, and always dry thoroughly. In cold weather protect them from the sharp air by heavy gloves of sufficient weight.

In tho hope that they will be an Inspiration to their sisters of today, who havo yet to know tho awful thrill of man yes, nnd of woman, too fighting to the death for their llves'nnd their nag. Tho place of this first story Is Haverhill, Mass., tho tlmo tho middle of tho six teenth century. A young woman saw her husbnnd mur dered beforo her eyes and herself and six-months-old baby carried oft as prisoners by the shrieking braves of King Phillip, tho Indian warrior, who sought to extermi nate the white settlers. Her namo was Hannah Duston. Most American histories don't mention her nt all. But they are concerned with events and not with the men and women who mado those events possible. Mrs. Duston's baby began to cry and a painted wnrrlor seized tho Infant from Its mothers arms ana aasnea oui its Drams against a treo. Tho Prussians havo done the same nnd worse In Belgium and may do It hero In tho United States If they get the chance. Hannah Duston could suffer only In silent grief. She dared not protest. In the little band of prisoners wero thir teen women and children. Their captors woro hurrying with them to tho Canadian border. When they dropped to their knees nt night nnd prayed to God to protect them, tho Indians laughed In mockery. "If tho Whlto Man's Lord had wanted to help you at all Ho would never havo suf fered you to be mado prisoners!" they scoffed. And Mrs. Duston and her companions watched the stais In hopelebs agony. Finally, after several days, Hannah Dus ton, with a young woman friend of hers by tho namo of Mary Xeff, and a boy named Samuel Leonardson, not yet In his teens, fell to tho custody of one of the chiefs as the war partjl broke up. They wero Informed that when they reached the next village they were to be made to run tho gantlet, which meant a death by torture. "There Is only one chance for us," said Who Did Her Bit Mrs Duston, "Tonight we must mako a break for liberty." Sho motioned tho boy to her side and whispered to him to find out from tho In dians, if ho could, by trickery, tho exact Mot on the heart on which to strike a death Mow. She knew his youth would suppress their suspicions and old him in his pur pose. The youngster came back with tho Infor mation, pointing to his temple. That night uhllo tho twelve Indians wero sleeping around their campflre on Hie bank of tho Mcrrlmac, sccuro In tho conviction that their prisoners wero only two women nnd a boy, Mrs. Duston rose from the ground, quietly picked up a tomahawk and bent over the nearest warrior, motioning tho otlicrq to follow her cxamnlc. Ten minutes later tho Indians had all been slain killed by tho desperate blows of two American women and a boy. Pushing a canoo Into tho waters of the Mcrrlmac, tho daring trio fled Into the night. After weeks of terrible suffering and pri vation they finally reached Haverhill again, where they were welcomed as those arisen from tho dead. The General Court of Massachusetts voted all threo a generous reward. And oven the Governor of Maryland sent Mrs. Duston a pewter tankard ns a mark of his esteem for her pluck and daring. . Tho cxamplo of their exploit sent a new wave of enthusiasm and hope through the colonies, nnd the Indians were met hv such a determined rcslstanco that they wcie driven back.

June atUtii ino to stay and go to church with her, hut I told her there was no place In church for Rowdy and that I would not go where Rowdy could not. Sho asked mo If I would refuso to go to heaven If Rowdy was not let In nnd I told her thero was no danger of that, for God w.ib a friend of mine. Then Rowdy nnd I rambled to tho swim ming holo and crossed tho river there by swimming and got on the right road and ran so fast that we were sonn dry. We got to tho whlto houso before dark, which 1 thought wns doing well. When Rowdy nnd I lung tho bell at tho front door It was opened by a man servant who snid, "Whom do you wish to see?" I said, "What's It to you?" and wo marched past him and Into the houso with my head up nnd Rowdy growling ro tho servant did not say any thing. Wo walked right Into the parlor, wherv there were two men with side whiskers nnd a nice-looking young woman with whlto cuffM and a whlto cap on her head. The little, red-faced, white-haired man said, "Hero Is the little girl who mado tho suggestion." Hut tliey did not pay much attention to cither Rowdy or me. Pretty soon we wero all called to supper nnd tho big servant who had opened tho door stood behind my rhalr, but I did not care, for I was not going to steal any spoons. It was dark outside when we were through Miiipcr nnd the nurso brought tho crazy girl downstairs. Sho Is very pretty and she plajed tho piano for ut nil and did not srciii to ho crazy, Ono of tho men with whiskers offered her a drink of water and slm took It and fell asleep In a chair. Then they carried the chair nnd tho girl out on tho lawn nnd we nil sat on tho porch nnd kept Mill and waited or tho moon to comn up above tho trees. Just when I wns getting sleepy tho girl woke up and screamed and stood right up In the moon light and screamed ngaln. That was all thno was to It, Then sho saw us and laughed and her father cried and hugged her and told her what wo had done The doctor said there was no doubt that her delusion bad been cuicd and that It was a rem'iiknblo case. We all sat In tho moonlight a long time whllo the men talked. Then tho girl asked mo to, take a walk with her In tho beauti ful moonlight nnd I did. We walked down to tho bonthouso and I told her all about myself and my mother In heaven nnd sho put her arms around mo and asked me If I would not like to go to heaven nnd be with my mother. I told her that I was not in any hurry and she said I ought to be. Then sho grabbed mo up and flung mo Into the river and I wns certainly surprised. When I tried to climb out Bhe hit mo on my had with an oar nnd It certainly did hurt. I swam out toward the middle of the river and hoi. lered and tho nurso and tho doctors and her father camo running nnd I swam ashore and tho girl was crazier than ever.

T'01"- rhotosraphed by Tho program system has been not un justly attacked as stifling to art and wrong ns a business proposition. But If all pro grams woro mado up of films directed by men of such talent as Mr. Taylor, oh, wouldn't It bo a grand and glorious feeling? This producer, who put tho Morosco com pany on Its very flat feet, has by now re stored Its, so to speak, fallen arches so that the concern needn't ever bn nfrald tn tako tho draft examination of popular es teem along with such huskies as Lasky. And every picture Taylor makes he makes nctter man tho last one. "The Varmint," by that sign, is tho best of all. Following with flno fidelity the original "Stover" stories of Mr. Johnson, tho director has turned out a delightful pleco of comedy, In which the everlasting boy, with nil his "prep" school nonscnslcalities, his uncon. sclous cruelties and adolescent urge toward pretty girls. Is unveiled with the skill of a master. Plot, "punch," are almost nil ; there Is no glowering vampire; close-ups (so often abused lately) are reduced to their proper function. Thero Is superb beauty of lighting, production and placement of figures. Theso aro usual. But there are, too, such novelties ns animated Illuminated leaders (ns when a lamp smokes or a win dow falls, with quick comic effect). There Is a charming portrait of an oh-so-real Latin professor (ably played by Theodore Roberts.) Thero Is a bunch of actually young boys Instead of the average painted, withered Juveniles. There Is tho "cribbing" In the tests; the fight, nicely directed: the "Inventions" of youth, and a herotno, who Is not a conceitca little puppet, although she has curls. Topping tho list of virtues Is tho cleverly shaded picture of the boy, another of young Jack PIckford's studies In Juvenallty, Tatrlotlc movies haven't been as frequent as tho times would seem to warrant. Therefore Jaik I-alt's "When the Call Came" has some Interest for Amerlca-lovinr fans. Especial time liness Is given the feature by the fact that It deals directly with the call to the colors of the flrst 10.000.000 men In this country.

HH WAS a queer-looking little Cockney soldier and, blood-stained and tattered, ho had only enough strength left to stagger Into an advanced dressing station near the front, Behind him boomed tho terrible guns of Ypres, mat bloodiest bnttlo of history! The dressing sta tion was only half a room In a quarter of a house I Tho rest was la ruins all that was loft of a onco gay cstaml net. The doctors and dressers and stretcher bearers had bcon on duty for twenty -four hours without a break. They wero miserable, Irritable, nervy, strung-up. But at sight of the dilapidated little cockney, with his brisk: "Good morn- ur.T.EN ADAin ing, gentlemen 1" they straightened themselves onco more for duty. How little the cheery volco fitted In with tho soldier's nppearancol His uniform wns tattered and torn, exhibiting portlonB of his legs swathed In dressings. A bandage wound around bis head, on wijlch, nt a rak ish angle, he still wore his steel helmet. Muddy, unwashed, unshaved and blood stained, he oozed good humor and cheer fulness I "Step lively, young blighter I" called out ono of tho doctors. "Rlght-o, slrl" Ono bandaged hand went to his forehead. Ills left arm he presented to his comrade who had a couple of bullets through tho leg. They hobbled pain fully In. Tea and cigarettes were given them, and "Alf" proceeded to Inform tho company how a shell had pitched near his dugout In tha front line and blown him up. "Lord love us, 'twas a great little trip tt, heaven," said ho, "no blasted opium smoket had better dreams than mo I That thero elyslum was a fair paradise.

"Tomorrow It's England, home and beauty!" he murmured drowsily. Soldiers Invalided home Just now tell me that the fighting at tho front Is "a weird and terrible spectacle." From the far-off sand dunes of the sea const on the left to beyond the Messlnes Rldgo on the right, the whole earth Is rimmed with a flickering flame of every tint of yellow, down to the dull red glow of burning oil. Higher, tho frenzied flares and signals of tho enemy are tossed up In fountains of white nnd red nnd green against the light ening sky.

This feat was accomplished by somo Welsh troops who charged the Kais er's fusiliers with indomitable fury, and who drove them back and captured hundreds. Two German ofTlccrs, taken prisoners, wero profoundly pessimistic. "We shall go. on fighting until wo get what we want," said a little Welshman to one of them, "and you will go on fighting until you are beaten I" "We aro beaten already," answered the German gloomily, "there are no more men left In Germany, and this will be the last battle of tho war!"

Tho morbid growths to which the term cancer Is commonly applied differ much In character as well as In appearance. Growths which recur when they are removed or which show a tendency to invade the tis sues and to develop similar growths In dif ferent parts of the body are known as malignant as distinguished from benign growths which do not Invade tho tissues, but aro genernlly Inclosed within capsules, and purely local growths which when re moved do not recur. Malignant growths Include quite a large family of neoplasms (new growths) which are recognizable by their microscopic structure and often also by their gross appearance. Tho different forms of cancer or malignant dlseaso differ In the degree of their malignancy or ten dency to recurrence and somo forms are much more curable than others. Skin can cer, for example, or epithelioma, when con fined to tho skin, Is almost certainly curable by any ono of Beveral different methods, the best of which aro tho X-ray, radium, and tho application of carbon dioxide Ice. The successful treatment of cancer depends upon tho application of thorough-going measures at the earliest posslblo stage of the disease. In any case In which thero Is tho slightest ground for the suspicion of cancer an ablo surgeon should be promptly consulted. Most cancers aro at their beginning purely local In character. Early and thor ough removal of tho disease will doubtless effect a cure In the majority of cases. It should bo remembered, however, that the predisposition to cancer remains and hence a new development may occur, consequently Blmply removing tho cancerous growth by surgical operation Is not sufficient. Tho patient must be placed under a Bpeclal regimen, which means a restricted atitltoxlo and laxative diet, outdoor life day and night and the adoption of all possible means for building up tho rcslstanco of tho body.
