HUSSAR BOJSET TOPS TUKH ALL FOK FALL.
WEARING them higher doss not
necessarily mean the choea or
the skirts of milady. They are
also building from the top. Th chic
little toque has grown in proportion foe
the Fall. This Hussar bonnet of tan
French felt and black hatter's plush,
most effectively combined her, "tops"
ti'iem all not only In altitude, but in
at yle.
i The sole trimming of this unique hat
is the smart Jet ornament. The crown
la in two wings which adds to the
qn:l intness and gives it an air of dis
tinctiveness that is not found in most
bitat of millinery.

should it refuse admission to a soldier
or a sailor.
I hope I shall always be haunted by
pleasant memories of my patients. I
hall never forget the extraordinary
rush of getting breakfast every morn
ing there at the infirmary. As I said
to my right-hand man, the big soldier,
it was just like running a busy cafe,
all but the tips. Trying to cater for
four wards at once is something like
performing in every ring in a. four
ring circus. The three women's wards,
of course, being taboo to the big
soldier.
The civilian patients had eggs of
their own, each egg had its owner's
name on it and it surely needed a li
brarian to catalogue those eggs. Be
tween us we matched the eggs to the
lists of names and boiled each ward's
separately, for fear of mixing tbem
again.
The plates of thin bread and butter
were cut and prepared earlier, and the
thinner jou cut it the better they liked
it, and ta e more they ate. I cut it so
thin that! a slice of it would flutter
down your throat like the petal of a
rose. Thin because my knife was so
beautifully sharpened ready for me
every nighi t by one, peradventure, more
accustomed to sharpening bayonets
ready to plunge into Germans.

times we dropped an egg on its way

A-motner who is overworked, tired nervous
Irritable on the verge of hysteria makes an
unhappy home. The yery thing she doesnot
want to do.
Such a condition" often develops aserious
derangement of the feminine organs, causing
irritability, despondency, sleepless nights and
nervous prostration. At such times remember
there is a tried and true remedy,
Lydia E. Pisikiiaiss's
Vegetable Compound
For forty years this famous Vegetable Medicine has been conquering the ills of women
ancj the very best proot 01 this is such letters as these:
Northport, N.Y. "I Buffered from a female trouble
And doctored for a time, using all kinds of treatments.
The doctor said I would have nervous prostration. I
was bo nervous and had such bearing down feelings and
headaches, and my housework kept me on my feet so
much that I had to do something, and I was persuaded
against my will to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound. I found the first bottle helped me and I
continued its use so I am able to ao ail my work. A
year ago I was miserable. I again bought Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, taking it regularly,
end I now consider myself a well woman. I have told
lots of women about it. Some would rather pay a
doctor, but some have tried it and found it helped them as
I said it would. "-Mrs. John ALEXANDER,Northport,N.Y.
Denison, Texas. "After my little girl was born two
years ago I began suffering with female trouble and
could hardly do my work. I was very nervous but just
kept dragging on until last summer when I got where I
could not do my work. I would have a chill every day
and hot flashes and dizzy spells and my head would al
most burst. I got where I was almost a walking skel
eton and life was a burden to me until one day my hus
band's step-sister told my husbandif he did not do some
thing forme I would not last long and told him to get
your medicine. So he got Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound for me, and after taking the first three
doses I began to improve. I continued its use, and have
never haoT any female trouble since." Mrs. G. O.
Lowery, 419 W. Monterey Street, Denison, Texas.
Bridgeton, N.J. "I cannot speak too highly of Lydia:
EL Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for inflammation
and other weaknesses. I was very irregular and would
have terrible pains so that I could hardly take a step.
Sometimes I would be so miserable that I could nob
sweep a room. I doctored part of the time but felt no
change. I later took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound and lelt a change for the better after the
second day. I took it until I was in a good healthy con
dition. I recommend the Pinkham remedies to all wo
men as I have used them with good results." Mrs.
Milford T. Cum MINGS, 24 New St, Bridgeton, NJ.
or many years iyaia ml., rinjtnam's vegretaDio tompouna lias been the standard remedy for female ills. No one sick" with woman's
ailments does justice to herself if she does not try tins famous medicine made from roots and Jierbs. it has restored so many suf
fering women to health. Lydia K. l'inkliam Medlcine Co., Lynii, Mass. "'ulcu " J
men couldn't pick Humpty-Dumpty up
again. I always recovered from the
shock in time to blame the Big Soldier
and he was too polite to blame me for
the accident. (One gets snappy and
bad-tempered, I find, on night duty).
It was quite a load oft our minds when
the last scalding-hot teapot of tea was
carried into its rightful ward. Then
the Big Soldier boiled the eggs, fried
the bacon or cooked the fish for the
soldiers' ward. All this time he might
have been comfortably tucked In his
cosy bed instead of helping me.
It is rather bewildering to try and
do so many things at once. One night
I was cooking the night nurses' mid
night repast, which consisted of bacon
and eggs. Just as the bacon began
frizzling nicely a voice called fran
tically from one of the wards, "Nurse,
nurse, come quick!"
"Of course I rushed there regard
less of my cooking, to find when I got
back five nigger-black coals of burnt
bacon in the pan.
"We only got eggs for dinner that
night! The barrage of smoke and the
smell of burning, though, were enough
to have brought oatthe Are department.
The other nurses philosophically said
they were used to that sort of thing.
Portland people will, I am sure, be
sorry to hear that one of the boys they
sent parcels to is "missing"; that means
either dead or a prisoner. It is the
boy who was so fond . of "Christmas
pudding.- The sergeant gunner has
promised to accept a commission if he
is again offered one. He says'I prom.
ise to take a shot at it." As he is so
valuable a gunner he will surely score a
"bull's eye." I have told him so.
My sailor boys write in excellent
spirits, no "grousing" to me. I am
about to send off a packet of cigarettes
to one of them from a Belgian girl in
Oregon and a few more books.- He is
the A. B. who likes Jack London so
much. He writes this time: "There
is no doubt that Jack London lives
through his books before he puts them
down in fiction style." True praise
from a sailor. He will be grieved when
I tell him that Jack London is dead.
I am sorry, too.

The above map has been drawn by The Oregonlan to show how the conflict which started July 28, 1S14. has overcast the
entire world and to what extent the nations involved have strength of population. It will be seen that the population strength of the
countries arrayed against Germany and her allien is almost a billion and, a half as compared to less than 160.0U0.000 tor the central
powers. By this map It will be seen at a glance that there Is hardly a point of the compass not involved In one way or another
with the great balance against Germany, and her allies. The map is prepared from accurate information up to the date of,
