Popularity Endangered

Dear Miss Lee: Ny best girl friend, 10
years old is in a very difficult position. Her
people want her to settle down to Just one
boy whom know she does not love. She
is ALWAYS talking about some other boys She
is very popular and 1t is not right that she
should give up her popularity for this one
boy Sometimes she thinks she cares for
him but I know she cannot care much. be-
cause she In always raving about other fell
lows I have been letting her take her own
course but she does not seem TO be making
any progress She has helped me win my
popularity and I want to help her keep
hers Please advise me. MID.
Popularity isn't everything, Mid.
However, of course. the girl should
not be pushed into a marriage until
she is sure of love. You might sug-
gest to her parents that their undip-
lomatic methods are having the op-
posite effect from that they desire.

FLANK STEAK

m UGH has been said the last few
IWIt years about the cheap cuts of
~ meat. 1t is perfectly true that
some cuts of meat are less expensive
per pound than others. But If more
fuel must be used in cooking the
cheap cut" If there is less edible
meat in the whole and if more
pounds must be purchased for a
meal, the merit Of the cheap cut as
such is nil.
However, if housekeepers will plan
to cook these cuts that require long
cooking while the oven is going for
baking, the cost Of fuel is decreased.
The waste is made up in the de-
licious flavor of the dish. Casserole
dishes combine vegetables with meat
in such a way that all juices are pre-
served.
BY using all the/meat the house
wife makes it possible for the
butcher to sell the choice cuts at a
more reasonable rate. II women. de-
mand porterhouse exclusively the
butcher finds himself with flank
steak and chuck roasts on his hands
to such an extent that he must
charge a seemingly exorbitant price
for the meat he does sell to make up
for what he can't market
Saturday morning when the oven
is hot for baking put in this rolled
flank Of beef Then at dinner time
reheat the oven for an hour and
bake the extra vegetable or pudding
while the meat is finishing.
The meat will cook some in its
own heat and the heat Of the cooling
even in the morning so an hour at
dinner time is plenty of time to thor
oughly cook the dish.
Casserole Of Meat
One cup diced carrots, l cup diced
large onion. salt and pepper.
Spread steak with paste as in pre-
ceding recipe. Cut meat to At the

three pieces put a third of the vege-

hour and a half In the morning and
an hour at dinner time. Serve from

Flank steak is also spread with
the paste. ''smothered" in thinly
sliced onions and baked in a frying
pan with one-half cup Of hot water
in a slow oven for an hour and a
half or two hours.

There is not reason why he should not
succeed. II he is given a fair chance.
Although it may seem bit coward

that would be the best thing in this
case. If, after you and this man are
married. you could move to some
other city, where people would ex-
pect him to continue his success, you
might find 1t easier. as your mother
suggests.

Couture of Partisan Lady Is of Great

to return to their native land as

In Paris you become very con-
scious of your hair, because every
street has many shops where you
may get what we call wave and
what the Frenchwoman calls an
"ondulation." And the smart Golf
fures and sleek shining locks you
see over here convince you that the

the exterior of her head.

RESUSCITATION

7F the great public could be
trained in all safety first and
health principles, we could
save thousands of lives every year.
Emergency cases in drowning, heat
stroke. asphyxiation or fainting can
be easily handled if you only know
what to do. and do it as soon as pos
sible.
In drowning accidents the lungs
partially fill with water. This must
be expelled as soon as possible. The
respiratory organs must then be ar
tificially induced to perform their nor
NAL functions If life is to return.
The action that is generally used
now is known as the Schaefer method
II is simple and effective. It should
be taught in every high school,
For your own protection here it is:
Place the subject prone face down

ground, with a folded garment or
blanket under the epigastrium ObeIly).
Kneel athwart across from side to
side), facing the head and place your
hands on each side over the lower
part Of the back (the lowest RIBS.
Slowly throw your weight forward
on your arms, thus pressing down
upon the thorax Of the subject and
squeezing the lungs so that the air
is forced out Of them. Then gradual
ly relax the pressure by resuming
your erect position without removing
your hands from the subjects back.
This permits the air to enter the chest
as the ribs respond from their own
elasticity.
Repeat these movements at the rate
Of twelve to sixteen times a minute.
Keep 1t up as long as necessary. The
subjects hands rest palms down on
the ground just above the head which
is turned to one side. This posture
allows any water in the chest to drain
from the mouth.

Renewing Compilations
at Home by Absorption

II your complexion is marred by sal
lowness, muddiness, or such blemishes
as liver spots. moth patches, pimples,
freckles, it's useless to putter with pow
ders and paints, jeIlies, creams and
things, If you really want TO get rid of
the condition.
The rational way is to take Off the
complexion itself, with all its offensive
marks. Just get an ounce Of pure mer-
colized wax at the druggists and use at
night same as cold cream. Remove next
morning with water and soap. The mer-
colized wax actually absorbs the affect
ed scarf skin, so gradually no one
guesses you are treating your face-un-
less 1t be by the result, which is truly
wonderful. There's nothing like 1t for
full complexion.-Advertis
