Getty, an American woman in Paris,
who has done nnicli to lighten the
, heavy burden of the wounded vic
tims of the war. the committee of the
. American-British-French-Belgian per,
' manent blind relief war fund for sol
diers and sailors lias taken over the
, work of instruction tor the blind. Miss
4k Getty herself made up a Krench-Kng-5p
Jish grammar in Braille, when she
could find none in l'aris, and estab
lished a printing equipment which she
:. operated herself in her home in order
to provide reading material for the
Soldiers.
1 Mi?s Getty's plant and library have
been moved to the headquarters of
the A. B. 1". B. at 75 Avenue des
iChamps Elysees, Tan's, as a permanent
institution i f the fund, and already
jthe demand far exceeds the supply on
account of the lack of paid helpers,
voluntary ones being most unreliable.
The maintenance of The Wheel, as
Iter paper is called, together with the
superior school for blinded officers
and soldiers, the American practical
knitting school for blinded soldiers,
and the raw material depot, all three
at Xcuilly; the home for blinded sol
diers and their families from devas
tated regions at La Garenne-Voloni-bes,
and the rpiartcrs and workshops
for Belgian blinded soldiers at Port
.'! Villez. all of which institutions were
V j established by the American-Britih-French-Belgian
permanent blind re
f lief war fund and arc supported by
1 the American public, requires much
.J money, and the fund earnestly rc
'' quests that every sympathizer with its
constructive work of mercy will con
tribute as much as he or she is able.

New Members for
Visiting Nurses
In response to the 1,500 letters sent
iut by the Visiting Nurse associa
tion, 800 memberships have been sent
in. The committee urges that all
those who have received this pt.cal
respond as soon as possible. The
school children have co-operated very
well, many of the schools being 100
per cent.
"Despite the fact that demands are
being made every day for funds for
war relief and the Red Cross we
must take care of our own poor. ; rd
the work that the visiting nurs.- do
cannot he overestimated," said Mrs.
W. E. Rhoades.
The committee is very much tn
couraged, as the membership has al
ready been tripled by this campaign,
and they make this last appca for
funds to continue the work.

Wild Nuts Would Provide
Nutritious Wartime Food
O Mrs. R. B. Zachary and Mrs O.
T. Keller at gauze winding reel.
Insert: Mrs. J. C. Wrath at gauze
cutting machine.
9 When the enemy "within our gates
recently burned up hundreds of food
animals in a western battle yard
the country shuddered with- horror, j
But, aside from the cruelty to the ani
mals involved, numberless good
Americans most oi them, in fact
are guilty of equally as harmful waste
fulness when they allow hundreds of
tons of our edible wild nuts to rot
on the ground.
The State College of Forestry re
ports, from observations made all
over New York state, that there is
this year an enormous nut crop
black walnuts, butternuts, hickory
mils, chestnuts. These arc all of
practically the same food value as
the English walnut, which, expert
dieticians say, is, in its content of
proteins, ounce for ounce, of slightly
more food value than round steak,
which is more nutritious than sir
loin or tenderloin, contains a third
more protein food value than white
read, and two-thirds that of eggs.
In this essential food value an ounce
of nut meats is equal to a pint of
milk. Therefore, the substitute value
of fiuts for meat, ei.'gs, wheat, and
milk, but especially for meat, is so
high that wasting the immense sup
ply of them in our forests is like
shooting our cattle and hogs by the
hundreds and lotting their carcases
rot.
Not a Delicacy.
Americans have never regarded
nuts as real food, but have lookeJ
upon them a; a delicacy, with small
value excent to titillate the palate.
Those who grew up in small cities
and towns or in the country and that
means the big majority in their
youth went nutting on bright autumn
days and then cracked and ate the
treasure thev carried home at a stone
in the back yard after school, or fla
vored the labors of home study in
the evening with a dish of cracked
nuts. Nor has the practice of serving
nuts as dessert after a heavy dinner
dictetically equal to finishing with
a portion of juicy steak flanked with
strips of bacon helped to educate us
in the economic value of nuts as food.
The neglected nut offers, indeed, a
rich store of hitherto unutilized food
to be gathered from our own forests
at no cost other than that of bringing
it to the markets. Whether this food
is used and the drain upon our meat
and other resources lightened by that
much depends upon wdiether the pub
lic wakens to the potential import
ance of the native nuts and begins to
ask for then: at fruit and grocery
stores everywhere. The possibilities
of the nut as food arc so many, so
varied, and its flavor is always so de
licious and appetizing that the marvel
is that it did not long ago come into
universal use. There are numberless
varieties of salads that can be made
with nuts in combination with fruits
and vegetables; their possibilities for
the always useful sandwich are le
gion; they can be used to make nour
ishing desserts without number.
Here are two views of the work
ers in the newest department of n'ed
Cross. It is the preparation of sur
gical dressings and hospital supplies
and Mrs. R. li. Zachary is the chair
man. The workers have been at it uce
the beginning under the direction of
Mrs. Walter Silver, chairman of the
surgical dressings department, but
with greatly increased demands it be
came necessary to make special pro
visions for the preparation of the
work.
In the tipper picture Mrs. Zachary,
who by the way has only missed live
days since last October, is helping
Mrs. O. T. Keller wind gauze on a
specially constructed "reel." Several
hundred yards of gauze and mnslin
arc wound each day.
When the material is taken from
the reel, wdicrc it has been nuuL j.er
tectly "wrinklelcss," it is turned over
to the cutting table, where it is
pinned down in thicknesses of 2') lay
ers and cut by the electric cutting
machine.
Mrs. James C. Wrath operated the
machine on Thursdays. The cutting
power of this wonderful little in
strument averages 1,600 yards of
gauze a clay.
The department is located on the
balcony overlooking the sirgical
dressing department in the new quar
ters in the Masonic temple.

MOVIE ACTRESSES AND
THEIR HAIR
Did it ever occur to you that every
movie actress you have Keen has
lovely hair, while the most popular
count their curls as their chief
beauty? In fact, many are leading
Indies just beeuuse of their attractive
locks. Inquiry among them discloses
the fact that they bring- out all the
natural beauty of their hair by care
ful nhnmpooing, not with any soap
or makeshift, but with a simple mix
ture by putting a tenspoonful of Can
throx (which they get from tho drug
gist) in a cup of hot water and ap
plying this instead of soap. This full
cup of shampoo liquid is enough so
it is easy to apply it to nil the hair
instead of just the top of the head.
After its use the hair dries rapidly
with uniform color. Dandruff, excess
oil and dirt are dissolved and entirely
disappear. The hair is so fluffy that
it looks much heavier than it is, its
luster and softness are delightful.
