"Oh, what a pretty flower," long
ingly sighed a small, dark-eyed girl
as she gazed upon a bright green
carnation. It was St. Patricks day
and the child was one of the many
at the St. James orphanage of Bcn-;
son. Who could resist her naive
appeal? and with the Irish emblem
clutched securely in a chubby fist
snc grew talkative.
"Do you know what I'd like most
ui anything in the world?" With
out waiting fcr a reply she hur
riodly continued. "A sash just exactly
like yours, all funny pieces of red
and blue and km-" a"d a hair ri,"
bon to match. Maybe I'M have
them some time. Mc and my two
sisters, maybe we are going to our
, new papa and mamma when school
is out. We're going home, you sec.''
' What, a meaning the word Home
has for those three w ho have neve
known one sncc deserted by thei
parents.'1:' For them the future hold
love and 'laughter.' But what of th
other little orphan there? Our
laddie of the picture with his twink
ling blue eyes and contagious grin,
is one of the oldest children at the.
orphanage. When coaxed a bit he
shyly admitted that what he wanted
most ot all was a bag of marbles
."with agates in it." He plays the
!role of father to his three sisters,
(one of whom has been adopted)
and a baby brother. "You see its
sort of hard to find a place for all
of us," said he. attempting to smile
cheerfully. "Nobody wants all five
of us so Father Dowd is trying to
hnd us homes in the town where
our sister is."
"But," protests the amateur wel
fare worker, "those children should
be happy. They have food,' clothing,,
a comfortable place to five, and they
are receiving an education."
Yes, they have all that an insti
tution can give to them, but it is an
absolute impossibility for the Sis
ters of Mercy, who are in charge,
to mother each of, the 175 children
in their care. Without the warmth
of the sun a plant cannot flourish;
a child who is not given parental
love will as surely be stunted in its
mrntal and spiritual growth.
Children crave affection, says
13V
Community. Service
Father Stephen Dowd, who super
vises the work of the orphanage.
Many are' placed in homes where
they can be giveti what their little
hearts desire, but every child must
have care until foster parents are'
found. And the finding of a home
takes much time and labor. Today
money is needed to do this. There
fore, on April 28 at the Municipal
Auditorium a,. hencfit ball and
bazar .is to be given.
For 30 years this institution has,
in its quiet way, aided thousands of
children. Never has one been de
nied iW mer,cy. ..Many a worthy citizen-
today "'can remember how in
times of poverty, neglect and hun
ger, the orphanage" opened its doors
to welcome-hini. :
If the" b'enefitvApril 28 is a sue-,

the lives of those left homeless by

Civil Service Statement.
Mrs. F. H. Cole, adviser . and
chairman of the civil service reform
department N. F. W. C. presents
the following statement oi the Uni
ted States Civil Servi.ee commission
which was published, March 2, 1920,
for the information of postmasters
and postal employes:
"Prohibited political activity by
an employe does not consist ex
clusively in direct open,. actual, per
soual participation in political " af
fairs. What a classified employe is
prohibited from doing independent
ly and directly he may not do. in
directly and by collusion or co
operation. Collusioh is a; fact al
ways open to proof ..and often to be
presumed from the relation of the
parties and the -manifest motive
based on supposed'or intended bene
ficial results to ' the persons in
volved. If a husband of wife of jafi
employe, in a competitive position
engages iir political activity for the
9
benefit of ' such employe, the pre
sumption of collusion is immediate
and strong and casts upon,. the em
ploye the burden of overcoming the
assumption by. affirmative-.proof. '
"The commission--.is of opinion','
therefore, that evasion of the rule by
an employe through -the activities
of wife or husband will. be found the
.easiest of all forms of collusion to
be discovered, establish, and 'pun
ish." - . '-

How t;o Mend Slippers.
' Some day a w ee little hole wears
its way through the light turned
sole -oi Vuur house slipper. Other
wise the. slipper is all right but that
little hole underneath means a hole
also in your stocking for there is
constant' running about all day long
for hous slippers when a busy
housewife' wears them. You know
that such light slippers cannot well
be half soled. Only street boots or
oxfords with welted soles go
through the renovation process sat
isfactorily and the lightest sole you
can have put on a thin slipper will
seem clumsy and heavy for house
wear. But the comfortable house
slippers need not be thrown away
if that little hole is all that is the
matter with them. Put a layer or
two of stout adhesive plaster inside
the slipper, over the hole and do
not fear that cither your stocking
or your foot will come in contact
with the floor. Of course, this
method of patching a sole would
not do for a slipper or pump worn
out of doors, but it is an economy
that pays very well in the case of
house slippers.

Have You
Mastered It?
Here Are
Some Easy
Helps.
By Madame Marec
NOT only must the woman of natural beaaty
be constantly on guard against the loaa of
her fascinations, bat she who depends on
artificial aids auch as creams, hair tonics tad th
like, must be sure they are of permanent and
lasting: benefit
Here are a few tested and tried preparations
that may be made at home with Tour own bands.
Then you'll fcaow they are pare.
A Cream ts Remove Blemishes.
There is but one thing you need
to beautify your skin and bring
It to a condition of incomparable
loveliness in a short time. This
has been used by thousands of
women with extraordinary suc
cess. By the use of this cream
you will soon find that all red
spots, freckles, all muddiness and
sallowness will have disappeared
Completely, leaving the skin pure
and clear as a lily. Tou cannot
get this result except by mixinff
yourself at home. In a very few
moments, one ounce of zintone
with a little glycerine and hot
water. The sintone costs fifty
cents at the drug store. This
makes a remarkable cream, which,
when used liberally, will not fail
to give you the results.
Another Cream tor Wrinkle.
It is really inspiring to know
that removing wTlnkles now de
pends almost entirely upon your
self. Just a few minutes' trouble
at the start and more than half
the battle is over. It will take
but a few moments for you to
make a mixture of two ounces of
eptol, a little water and glyeer
ine. The eptol can be obtained
from your druggist for fifty
cents. This cream produces start
ling changes in the skin in a
short time. It renders the skin
plump and youthful, very girlish,
and the result is that wrinkles
fill out and disappear. It will
make you look many years
younger If you will only use it
faithfully. ,
For a Dsnal! Hair
ITiKOTtor,
Tou can easily prevent hair
from falling, and you can make
It grow thick and luxuriant by a
very simple method, which ts far
superior In results to that of any
so-called hair tonic you can buy.
Tou wjll notice the difference In
your hair in a very few oays,
and it will take on a vigorous
lustre besides, and thin spots
will at once begin to fill with
new hair. This Is done by simply
adding one ounce of beta-qutnol
to a half pint of water and a
half pint of bay rum. If you
prefer yon may use a full pint of
witchhaxel instead of the water
and by rum. The beta-qulnox
may be procured for flftv cents
at any drug store. Try this and
you will no longer find handful
of hair coming out. on your corns
and brush, and your hair will b
the envy of all your friends.
Or If Yon Wlsfe a afcampwaw
Every Scalp has constantly
forming on it a thin, invisible
film of fatty accumulations which
oap eannot remove, not even
with hard rubbing. The one way
to remove this film, and let your
hair breaths la to dissolvs it. This
is done by the use of a teasnoon
ful of eggol dissolved In a half
cup of hot wate-, and used as a
shampoo and headwash. This un.
seals the pores, and it will sur
prise you what a tremendous dif
ference it produces In the appear
ance and growth of the hair.
There is no more luxurious bead
wash possible, and It Is. besides,
very economical. In a twenty
five cent package of eggol. which
can be secured at any drug store,
there is enough to supply you
with over a dozen of these sham
poos. f
T Remavs aperflaoaa Hair.
There Is a very remarkable way
to remove superfluous hair. This
Is becoming exceedingly popular,
because it is as easy and pleasing
to use as a face lotion, and dis
solves away the hair instead of
burning tt off as many other de
pilatories do. Simply moisten the
hairs with a. little eulfo solution.
The hair begins to shrivel. Toil
can see this dissolve, and then
with just a swish of the finger, all
the hairs can be rubbed off clear
and clean. It leaves the skin
thoroughly free from all superflu
ous halrsr-npt leaving even a sug
gestion that you had any super
fluous hairs at all.' It Is glorious.
Every woman should have some
sulfo solution on her dresser. It
will cost one dollar at any drug
store, and will last for a consid
erable time.
Blackheads Gets a Few Ulaatea.
It Is only a question of a few
moments to get rid of blackheads.
The only thing that will do this
is nerexln. You sprinkle a little
neroxln on a wet clotb or sponge
and rub the blackheads with this
for a few moments. Looking In
your mirror, you will find the
blackheads gone. This Is a very
remarkable article, and yon need
no longer use tonloa. face-steaming,
and pinching, and other use
less methods for many months at
a time. Vor fifty cents yon can
get the neroxln from your drug
gist, i
