STRENGTHENING the Heart

IMMEDIATE steps must be taken when
i heart weakness is found to exist to
start corrective treatments,
Disease Of the heart cannot be cured,
but much can be done to enable one 20 toll
crate the disease so that serious symptoms
fuay he postponed many years First OF al,
the heart must be strengthened. one AID
is the cold compress over the heart even
an ice bag will serve the purpose. II an
ice bag is used It should be protected with
one thickness of flannel TO avoid excessive
chilling of the skin. The cold application
should be removed at least once In twenty
minutes II may be reapplied after an in
terval OF five minutes.
The purpose is 70 give the skin a chance
TO react. Reaction may be encouraged by
rubbing the skin with the hand so as TO
restore warmth BY this means the nerves
are kept active and 80 the reflex effect
through which the good result Is produced
may be maintained for an indefinite time.
Short cold rubbing baths. deep breathing
and massage are other means of aiding the
weakened heart and combating heart fall
ure
Then, too, we must correct the diet to
conform with the laws Of nature. We must
discard tea and coffee ana alcoholic liquors
of all kinds
Also, we must discard condiments and
sauces-substances that irritate the body
tissues such as pepper. horseradish. mus
But even more important than what we
shall not eat is the question Of what we shall
eat. We must build our diet only Of natu-
raj foods. BY these we mean those foods
which are included under the heads OF
fruits nuts, grains legumes and vege-
tables.
The nutrient qualities Of the fresh fruits
are ready for assimilation by the body that
is, no long digestive process in the stomach
is necessary, and a result they begin
entering the circulation soon as they
reach the stomach, with the result tina Il
there is no opportunity Tor fermentation in
the intestines or the production of irritant
poisons.
Unless there are digestive difficulties in
addition to the heart trouble, any Of the
foods in the above groups can be used with
safety.
Constipation must be fought constantly
For this purpose use the green vegetables
freely-spinach, turnips, celery, lettuce, etc
Mineral oil and agar-agar also may be
used to advantage

Stains in Georgette Crepe

TO the Editor Of Woplan's Page:
Dear Madam-Will you please tell me what
will remove perspiration stains from the front;
hack and under the arms OF a hesh-coored
Eeorgette crepe dress H. ). A.
A perspiration stain is the most difficult
of all stains to remove.
You might try dry cleaning first, sitting
upon the marks equal parts of cornstarch'
magnesia and French chalk. Rub lightly.
Repeat this process over and over again, II
there is no Improvement try chloroform. Use
a clean. soft. cotton rag. BE careful to rub
the spots rapidly and lightly and finish with
a clean, dry cloth.
II the dress is an expensive one / would
advise you to have II dyed some dark suit
able color. A reputable dry cleaner tells me
that perspiration marks cannot be removed
BY dry cleaning and that the only solution
OF the problem is dyelng a dark shade, All
through the fall and winter a dark
georgette crepe dress is of great use.

TO the Editer Of WomdH's PAGE
Dear Madam-In the war menus that appea Z.
on the woman's page have seen French toas
mentioned once or twice. ] have never heard or
this. VIII you please print recipe2
READER,
French toast makes a very tasty break
fast dish and an economical one. because Il
uses up stray slices OF stale bread.
Beat up together one egg. one cup OF
sIsinned or whole milk and salt TO taste.
Put small quantity Of butter. bacon fat or
other suitable fat in broad-bottom frying
pan. Dip slices OF stale bread into the egg
and milk mixture until they are quite moist.
Then fry In the pan. turning with fork
until both sides are done golden brown.
Make a few pieces at time, as you do with
pancakes. Serve hot with maple syrup,
Jelly or just plain butter.

yKTHEN Uncle Sam pulled UP his chair

was declared almost his first advice to
the big new dining-room family was this:
Eat cornmeal. We've simply got to eat
cornmeal and save the wheat for our
Allies. Twenty-Five per cent more of our
wheat supply than ever went across the
ocean before must be shipped to them II
we want to win the war;
Uncle Sans plea did not go unan-

household in America began TO use corn

As you have not met Miss L and were

Miss c should introduce you to your hostess

take with you TO your hostess first and to
Miss c afterward.
1t sounds very formal, but II should be
very easy. Mr., A has the only rather
awkward position, as he must wait a mo-
ment while you are being introduced to
your hostess. After that formality Is gone
through with, you can very easily include
both girls in the introduction by saying IT
