Good Choice of Books
To the Editor of Woman' rage:

me the names of some rood modern authors
that I may tret their books I have read a Kood

by Gene Strstton-l'orter, and "Tho Story of
Julia race," by KathUn Norrls, "trashy"?
d. c. a.
Some of tho modern authors you may
like are William J. Locke, whose latest
book Is "Tho Red Planet" ; Arnold Bennett,
Maurice Hewlett, Henry Sydnor Harrison,
George Meredith, Mary Roberts Illnchart,
Mary Raymond Shlpman Andrews nnd
Stewart Edward White. For deeper read
ing you may turn to H. O. Wells, John
Gatsworthy and Stephen Graham. Both
Gene Stratton-Porter and Kathlyn Norrls
have written some very Interesting books,
and I should certainly not call any work
of theirs trashy.
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.

bit for God and country when tho great
test came. 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.

WIWS June's wholo house- was awake
this morning we went downstairs and
had somo kind of shavings and milk for
brenkfast and It was pretty good, but not so
good as oatmeal, but I ato It and Rowdy
wa3 glen a. bono from the day before. 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.
They carried her lnV.de tho house, kicking
nnrt screaming, and then they put something
on my head, which wai bleeding, nnd tho
doctor said he would givo mo something to
m.iko mo sleep. 1 hey put Itmvdv and me
Into a bedroom tw titer nnd 1 prayed,
"Dear mother which art In heaven, I thought
you had me that time. Theje crazy people
aro fierce, aren't they? And, for caff) take,
do you know that I forgot to tako my
father's shoo homo?"

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

deals directly with the call to the colors of the

they straightened themselves onco more for

How little the cheery volco fitted In with

"Step lively, young blighter I" called out

"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,

been a carman. But they were now bosom

"Bong-solr, old sport," cried Alf to tsa

Ho waved a bandaged hand from the am

"Tomorrow It's England, home and

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

Tho Kaiser's famous regiment the
"Cockchafers" has been most roughly
handled! 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!"

CANCER Is a general term, like fever.
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.
Hardening of the. Arteries
How can I avoid hardening of the arteries
la the free use of liquids to be avoided In these
cases? t,. U.
As hardening of the arteries In tho ma
jority of cases Is the result of autointoxi
cation, care In regard to the diet and to
the elimination from the Intestines Is of
first Importance. Constipation, which Is
usually present, should be combated by tho
free use of fruits, vegetables and the coarser
cereals. Flesh foods should bo entirely
discarded and other foods containing pro
tein, such as cheese, eggs and milk, should
be used In moderation, it at all. The free
use of liquids will be beneficial rather than
harmful. Fruit Juices are especially help
ful and may be takon freely. Avoid the
use of tea. coffee, condiments, especially
pepper and mustard, and alcohol In all
forms.

In tho uso of a good toilet powder. In

advantageous and hygenlc. Of course, the
powder should not bo allowed to accumu
