Life's Problems | Are Discussed By Mrs. Wtlaon Woodrow How much of an asset to a wo man Is beauty? Almost every one, especially the plain sisters, will Immediately re ply: Why, It Is the greatest asset she can possess. Ask a group of women which gift of the high gods they woull select If theirs was the right of choice, and nine out of ten of them would unhesitatingly clutch beauty. And yet Is It so great a boon as they imagine? In these iconoclas tic days, when all standards are be ing overturned, even beauty has not escaped fEe searchlight, and in con sequence it has been receiving some rather hard Jolts. A great American humorist has recently said that extreme good looks Is the greatest of handicaps to a man, ar.d a still bolder icono- j clast has pronounced feminine beau-; ty not only a vain and fleeting show, | but a positive bar to achievement. This man, who has had a Ions:, experience in training choruses for the stage, 'jays, if he is quoted cor-1 rectly, that beautiful women are i brainless, they are foolish, frivo-1 lous and futile; they are vapid and) selfish. These remarks interested : me so much that I immediately yearned to discover just how much! of an asset beauty was to a woman j Jn the achievement of a happy and j successful life, and what then was | the relation of beauty to success] In the various careers, professions! and occupations of women. The marriage, for instance. It muflt certainly be classed as a ca-1 reer, since it affords the most popu- 1 lar means of livelihood for women; and that women would inevitably he considered the most successful j who makes the most advantageous match from the worldly point of view. Therefore, since men adore 'beauty, it is fair to suppose that: the beauties would g<j< the pick of; the matrimonial market? But right here deductive reason- j BACK TO WORK AFTER 10 DAYS' LAV OFF Vow Hard to Realize He Ever Had a Slek Day "I had nervous stomach trouble | so bad that I couldn't sleep or rest." ! says M. M.

J.—"l am 69 years of age and after a severe sickness, was in a weak, run-down condition. , Vlnol has built me up and made me strong, so now I feel real well again, and I can recommend it to others j for such conditions."—John M. 1 Devttt. The reason Vlnol was so success- ! ful in Mr. Devitt's case, is because It contains beef and cod liver pep- | tones, iron and manganese pepton- 1 ates , and glycerophosphates, the j very elements needed to build up a , weakened, rundown system, make ; rich, red blood and create strength.

You Need Not Suffer From Catarrh But You Must Drive It Out of Your Blood to Get Rid of It Permanently. You have probably been in the habit of applying external treat ments, trying to cure your Catarrh. You have used sprays, washes and lotions and possibly been tempo rarily relieved. But after a short time you had another attack and •wondered why. .You must realize that catarrh Is an infection of the blood and to get permanent re lief the catarrh infection must be driven out of the blood. The quicker you come to understand this, the quicker you will get it out of your system. S. S.

Take a group of : the richest, most influential men in any city or town in tire country; then consider their wives. As far as looks go they stack up no better, than the wives of an equal number of men of small means. Pursuing these investigations let us survey a profession in whi<?h looks are .supposed to count enor mously—the stage. Again theories fall. Those favorites of the foot lights and the screen who receive fabulous salaries because of their firm entrenchment in the heart of the great public, are far, from being faultless beauties. Their appeal is above and beyond all mere splendor of the flesh. Their art is so sincere, their individuality so potent, their magnetism so compelling that they evoke the vital spark of response in the public and win its spontaneous approval and, incidentally, its gold. The women in business who com mand the highest salaries or con duct large enterprises would not, in most instances, be candidates for a beauty contest; and this is no slur upon their Individual good looks. All this would seem to prove that beauty is not a 75 per cent, asset to a woman in the battle of life. But of course that perplexing question immediately pops up, what is beau ty? Solomon's definition, which in the last analysis is a masterpiece of side stepping, "beauty is la the eye of the beholder," naturally comes to mind, j It is profoundly true. Every one has, his own particular Idea of beauty, and yet beyond that is the ma*s- < mind ideal. Is it not. strictly speak- 1 ing. a matter of faultless proportion ; and line, of well-modeled features and exquisitely tinted flesh, all com-, blned in a harmonious whole? I am not discussing prettiness or a charming appearance. That is so common here in America that we take it as a matter, of course. Sheer, breath-taking beauty is my theme, and whether or not it is a valuable asset or something of a handicap. Undoubtedly it takes a lot of brains to -:ope with a lot of beauty. If you want to see old age at its biggest and ugliest, you will dis cover it in the women who have once been fair as the proverbial poet's dream. My own opinion M that great beauties should not be asked to take their places In the rough and tumble stir of everyday life. Their portrait* should be painted by su preme artists. They should he per petuated in marble by great sculp tors. They should be pensioned by the state for having addedt their fleeting loveliness to the world's vis ion of beauty. In doing that, have they not done all and more, that could be asked of them? Children Object, So 84 and 75 Elope Hnntlngtnn. W. Va.—J. A.

The reserve has the purpose of filling the big gaps left in hospital forces by the large number of nurses from these institutions enrolling for Red Cross work on foreign fields and in camps and cantonments in the United States. The Women's Committee, Council of National Defense, Is -waging the campaign to stimulate the enlistment of nurses. Under the caption. "Want ed: 25,000 Women to Enroll in the United States Student Nurse Re serve," the council says: "The government is calling for 25,- 000 young women to Join the United States Student Nurse Reserve and hold themselves In readiness to train for service as nurses. "The war is creating an unprece dented demand for trained nurses. Only those who have taken the full training course are eligible for serv ice with our forces overseas. These nurses are being drawn largely from our hospitals at home. Their places must be filled by student nurses en rolled for the. full training course of from two to three years. Every young woman who enrolls in the United States Student Nurse Reserve is releasing a nurse for service at the front and swelling the home army which we must rely on to act as our second line of hospital de fense. Upon the health of the Amer ican people will depend the spirit of their fighting forces. "Age-—The call is for women be tween the ages of 19 and 35. "Qualifications - Intelligent, re sponsible women of good education and sound health are wanted —the pick of the country. A college edu cation is a valuable asset, and many hospitals will give credit for it. Credit will also be given for a spe cial scientific equipment or for pre liminary training in nursing, such as; that given in special courses now be- j ing conducted by various colleges and schools. Some :hools, on the other hand, do not even require aj full high school education. "Enrollment Women will be given an opportunity to enroll in the United States Students Nurse Reserve in any one of three ways: I "(1) As engaging to hold them selves in readiness until April 1, 1919, to accept assignments to nurses' training schools. These wo men will be sent to the schools as fast as vacancies occur.

Those who! so enroll will be called where the first need arises. The government hopes that a majority of those whoj , enroll will thus put down their names' ! for both. Nurses' Training Schools "There are 1,579 nurses' training. ; schools in this country. Their need j is as great and imperative as that of the Army School of Nursing, i Those who enroll for these schools will be assigned as vacancies occur, j "The enrollment card will indicate! two classes of registrants—preferred j and deferred. The preferred class will be those who are ready to j assignment to whatever hospital the ' government directs them, although they may state what training school they prefer to be sent. Those who register in the preferred class will j ; be assigned first,. and all possible ! consideration will be given to their preference as stated. The deferred 1 class is composed of those who limit their pledge of service—that is, who will not engage to go except to cer tain hospitals. This class is intended ! largely for those who, for family | reasons, can not accept training at a! distance from their homes. Those: who register in the deferred class l will be assigned only after the pre ferred class is exhausted. "The government relies on the pa-' 1 triotism of those who enroll to fill out preferred cards if they possibly! can, thus volunteering to go where, they are most needed. "Nobody will be assigned to any schools whose conditions of training! are not approved by the State Board of Nurse Examiners, Terms of Training "The term of training varies from two to three years, according to the I requirements of the particular school j to which the student nurse may be' sent No course takes less than two, years nor more than three. I "At present every woman who j completes satisfactorily, her train-j ing in any accredited school is eligi-' ble as an Army nurse at the front! and stands a chance of being as signed to duty abroad. At the samo' time she will be qualified to arn her living in one of the noblest pro fessions open to women, it should be remembered, furthermore, that her usefulness will begin not whenl she graduates from the training school but as soon as she enters it. j Practical nursing work is a part of the work of every training school J and the student nurse is not only learning to serve but serving h'er ; country from the outset. "Finances—The student nurse gets her board, lodging, and tuition free At practically every training school, and In most cases receives a small remuneration to cover the cost of ( books and uniforms. After gradua- ! tion she has an earning capacity of from SIOO to S3OO a month. Private-! duty nurses now receive an average of from SIOO to $l2O a month to gether with board while on duty; : institution nurses from SSO to $250 j a month together with board, lodg-j ing, and laundry; and public health | nurses from SIOO to $250 a month without maintenance. There is no! danger of the earning capacity of: nurses being lowered after the war; ends on account of the great number! who will then he qualified for the' procession: the country will need all; the nurses that can be trained, not! only during the war but after it,, especially for reconstruction work. Even if the war e.nds within three j years, every student nurse will be | able to complete her training andj will be needed. An Honorable Service "Ever since the days of Florence' Nightingale the nursing profession j has been one of especial honor. It was never so honorable as it is to- j day. The Army needs every nurse it can get to "keep up with the draft." The United States Student Nurse Reserve is the equivalent for women of the great National Army! training camps for soldiers. The! government will rely upon the stu dent nurses to fight disease at home, to care for those Injured and dis-| abled in our hazardous war indus tries, and to make themselves ready to serve when the time comes a." fully trained nurses, either abroad or at home. , Let us show that we know how to answer the govern ment's call to the women of the country."

THE PLOTTERS A New Serial of East and West By Virginia Terhnne Van de Water CHAPTER XIX Copyright 1918, the Star Conmpany "And now," Butler strode up to the Pole, "Whats the meaning at this?" Elizabeth Wade had covered her face with her hands. She was shiv ering violently. "What does it mean, I say?" But ler repeated, his fists clenching threateningly. " "The dog scare her," the Pole whimpered, "I done noding." "Is that true?" John Butler whirl ed upon the girl. With an immense effort she recovered herself and fao ed him. "I was walking along and his dog sprang ait me and frightened me." "Well I've settled the dog for one while," Butler said, his voice vibrant with anger. "If this man has touch ed you, by heavens I'll kill him!" "No, no, let him alone," the girl pleaded. In a swift vision she appre ciated what dreadful thing it would be if Butler were to injure this half witted, intoxicated creature. "Mr. Butler," timidly, "pleaae take me home!" "Talak!" Butler warned, "If you or your dog ever frlghteji this lady again, L'll kil you both!" When the Pole had slunk off into the woods. John Butler held out his hand to Elizabeth. "Miss Moore," he said. "I am un- Fneakable sorry you had this fright. How did you hap<pen to be here at this time of night, and alone?" "The car broke down," she tried to explain, but her breath still came fast. "This Is the second time I have seen you trembling like this after Talak has spoken to you," Butler re- j minded her, "What did he say to I you?" "He was drunk!" she shuddered. "So I saw," Butler remarked. "But for that, I would have said more to him than 1" did. But since he ahad not touched you. I thought I'd let him go." "Oh I'm glad you did," she stam mered. John Butler drew her hand through his arm, and she felt a sense of safety as she leaned upon him. Elisabeth Is Ashamed "I nm positively ashamed," she tri ed to laugh, "when I see how shaken I am by that encounter. Tou see, I have always been afraid of that dog —and when he sprang at me" "Yes I can • understand," the man interrupted as she shuddered again, "but don't think about either of the beasts—the two-legged, or-the four legged one," he added with a smile. She was silent, thinking how glad she was that this man did not know that Talak had seized her. Had he known it, he might have murdered the Ignorant wretch. "I wish," she said after a while, "that Sir.—that Cousin Amos would get rid of that man." "I will suggest it to I>r. 'Wade, the next time I write him that Chapln discharge Talak," Butler rejoined. "Oh, no—don't do that!" Eliza.beth begged. Douglas must not suspect that she had been frightened or disturbed in any way. She had promised that she would see his scheme successfully carried out. She wanted to be true to her promise in every particular. "Wihy not complain about him?" Butler demanded. "Because," she evaded, "Mr. Chapln Dorit stay indoors because your skin is unsightly Resinol will heal it quickly The discomfort of hearing unfavor able comments upon one'a complexion, and of realizing that one's skin is un sightly, can be prevented by Resinol Ointment, which not only heals a sick skin, but protects a healthy one. Aided by Resinol Soap, it heals eczema, helps to remove other eruptions, excessive dryness or oiliness of the skin, and enables one to have a complexion that excites compliment instead of unfavor able comment. At all dealer*. -—Cousin Amos—engaged Talak, uid if he was sent away he might be angry and disagreeable— or some thing," she ended lamely. "All right the man agreed reluc tantly. "I will let the matter rest ■for a while. But if he ever annoys you"— "He won't," the girl assured him. Mentally she was resolving never to walk alone along the country road as long as she remained on the farm. Her companion's thoughts must have turned to the same subject, for he asked brusquely: "Why did young Chapin let you come home alone?" "He didn't want to," she explained. He had a puncture, and said it would take a half-hour to repair it." Butler sniffed. "He's not expert at changing tires, is he?" he comment ed. 111-other Km bar ran urn Her "He said he was not," the girl went on. "I wanted to come home. He of fered to accompany me, but I forbade it. That's how ihappened to be walk ing alone. It was my own fault, and foolish of me to do it. "And inexcusable of him -to allow It," Butler amended. She tried to defend Chapin. "Don't say that." she begged. "Beally he was not to blame." "Excuse me—l forgot," Butler aplo ogized. "I should not speak like that of your cousin." "Yes you should—he Is—she began then stopped. 1 Her companion's eyes were fixed upon her. and even in the darkness she felt his steady gaze. "What were you going to say?" he asked. "Oh nothing much!" she assured him. "Only—Mr. Butler—l am glad that you came along Just when you did." "So am I," he responded softly. They walked the short distance to saca | Mothers!

When they reached the front porch of the house, and Elizabeth withdrew her hand from Butler's arm, he spoke with a gentleness he had not displayed before. In the attack —when It's time to "buck the line"—when our own boys must go "over-the-top," much dependence will be placed in the iron-tanlt. In the same way real men —men with a "punch"—have come to place their dependence on iron in a new form. Iron is easily assimilated within the body if taken In the form of tablets called "Iron-tic."
