And all of the accomplishments, which made an attractive ball-room butterfly, looked rather Inane when the stretcher bearers hurried In with the wounded and dying. The war found the American women as Inefficient as it found the men unpre pared. .Serious-minded girls, realizing sudden ly how little their educations had fitted them for hard, practical national ser vice, have lost little time in pitching in and supplementing their lighter accom plishments with some solid, old-fashioned instruction of the very tangible kind. They have hurried to training schools and entered clashes in nursing, cooking, hygiene, dietetics, sanitation and the like. Some of the bolder spirits have gone Into the garages, donned overalls and dared grease and oil to learn auto repairing so that they may be fully qualified to drive ambulances iri the firing zones.

CANCER Facts About Various Types Of The Disease There are many kinds of cancer and each kind acts differently and spreads in Its own way through the body. Pertain forms which arise In glands, such ss the hresst. are called carcinoma and this aort spreada „fowlv to places where there are email nodules of tissues, called lymph nodes In which the cancer collects, formlntt there secondary lumps or mestatases. as the physician calls them. The (rue carcinoma does not often get Into tlie blood vessels, and therefore fl remains localised for a very considerable lime, so that the surgeon has an oppor tunity to remove It If the diagnosis Is made. Another kind of cancer, called by the physician utreoma. spreads to the blood vessels and consequently Is much more difficult to cure, because this spreading takes place very early In the course of the disease and the cells are swept all the body, starting new little tumors where they are deposited While cancer grows through the very tissues Which surround It.

(America's Most Noted Woman Financial Expert.) The women of America could carry the third Liberty Loan with their own avail able resources! That Is the fundamental truth that 1 would like to get over'" to nty country women. I am going to try to tell WOMEN—aII kinds and degrees of women, rich, mod erately off, and poor women—how and to what extent each can do HER part In making the third Liberty Loan HER OWN JOB! Let me say first, the OREATEST OB LIOATION RESTS iri-ON THE WOMAN OP LARUE MEANS. I'll talk to her first. I mean the wife or daughter of the very rich man. or the woman with an Inde D2Ksmassaffi MARGIE SEEKS TO REALIZE HER LOSS. Until I Informed Mrs. Trent that I wtis going away as soon as I was well 1 had no intention of doing so. But all at once, little book, l found that I was beating against a cage. I must get away from it all, with just my baby, so that I might adjust myself to the life that must be mine in the fu ture. Remember, little book, that when I came to this conclusion I had resolved never to confide in you again. It seem ed to me that you were the friend of my married life and that was over. But a month or two ago T found among Dicks papers a hook which he had dedicated to mo. It was a book In which he had written Ills side of the story which I hAve told to you. It seemed to me then that In all fairness to him 1 must write down what he had written so that you could counsel with me as you have always counsel led. Dick's ideas are very surprising and yet they are Just what a man would think of the episodes and experiences of married life You see, little book, I am not yet able to conceive that Dick is not. T wonder if the great enigma of life affects all people in this way. Hon estly. I am not yet grieving much, for my mind refuses to realize that Dick is dead. I find myself saying. "I must tell Dick this," or "I wonder what Dick will think of that?’’ I am so glad that I was saved the horror of the days that passed be tween Dick's death and the time when his body was consigned to earth. I do not think that I could have stood the kind of thing we had at the fun eral of Mr. Trent and I ain Inexpres sibly glad that I never looked upon Dick's dead face. The last look I had from him was a glance of love from his living, though fast failing eyes. All the while I am writing this, lit tle hook, my brain says it Is not true— he is not gone away forever. Perhaps some time will come the realization of this great and Inevitable fact but now my mind says “lie will como back—he will come back." Even Motile seems to think I should wear black, hut I think It would he cowardly to d" tho very thing I have so often condemned In others, when I find the same condition surrounding me. No, little book, as long as 1 live, no matter how much.l may grieve, no matter how lonely 1 feel, yet 1 tell you I will not force my grief and loneliness on others. 1 still am Margie Waver ly and I still hate a moral coward. Who am I, that I should be exempt from the griefs and sorrows of the common lot? 1 have lnqked life straight in the face, as you know, little hook, and accepted It Perhaps, in a little while 1 shall realise what death looks like, when he comes stealing in DON'T LET A COLD KEEP YOU AT HOME Dr. King's New Discovery will keep you on the job, feeling fit.

First, she does not have to marshal her resources; or if she does, they are of the kind readily convertible into cash or credit, and from that into Liberty Bon^.s. This is not the time for servants, en tertainment, and high living. Immediate elimination of these items alone will en able the majority of women of independ ent means to invest a large amount in bonds WITHOUT KNOWING IT. Nearly every rich woman can buy from TWO to FOUR times as many bonds as she has contemplated buying. It is true that many sound securities, each as are likely to form the principal of many a wealthy woman’s Income, pay a higher rate of Interest In the form of dividends than the four and one-quarter per cent paid by Liberty Bonds. It Is equally true, however, that no commercial or Industrial security no matter how sound. Ik as safe and sure as Liberty Bonds, which are backed up by all the nroperty of all the people or the United States. But, of course, the great majority of women In the United States do not come under the head of "the woman of large means."

Even when Jim Edie came over to consult with me about the business I said un thinking, “Let us wait until we can consult Dick.” Jim looked at me for a moment as though he thought I had suddenly gone mad especially when I smiled and said, "if you love me, Jim, let me talk of Dick as though he were not dead.
