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. Checks, money orders, Liberty v bonds and War Savings stamps should be sent to Eugene V. R. ? Thayer, honorary treasurer, periua I nant blind relief war fund, 590 Fifth avenue, New York. 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. She How is your youngest daugh ter getting on with her music?

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. Advertisement.
