There are even shortsleeved coats

made to go with frock with close

FOOD AND HEALTH
BY ROBERT CULLEN.
BY WINIFRED STUART GIBBS.
Food Specialist.

A recent author has called our at
tention to the fact that women en-.
gagged in home economies work are
thinking less and less about human
needs and human relationships We
nave only to look about us to realize
that this is true. And it may be
worth while for us TO make our own
analysis of the situation.
Take the matter of nutrition. Tn
der-fed children may eXclaim with
dismay at having infornation to say
nothing of food. thrust down their
throats. Those who are ION "a diet"
must, | am sure. get very tired of
weight tables, Once let the under
weight children realize that when they
are we'll nourished they are in line for
making good record both in studies
and sports, and see how their interest
strengthens. BY the same token, the
victim Of a diet may find that the
price she pays is small when one con-
slders the good results to be gained.
When she has reached normal weight
and Is otherwise in good health she
in turn can better take part in the
activities of her world, just as do the
children.
1t is a truism to say that no man
can live unto himself alone. 1t is
equally true to say that no man can
eat unto himself alone. For if we
allow ourselves to fall below our own
normal standard, we are doing others
besides ourselves injustice. The I'M
derfed individual is querulous and
cranky. The well fed one is usually
in full control of his sense of hunior.
which means that he is a much pleas
anter person to live with than his
pernickety brother.
Let US not be priggish about it, of
course. The moment we begin to be
self-consciOus and virtuous about diet
as about other things we become in
sufferable bores. With a firm deter
nlination to possess ourselves of the
'xformation needed to keep well fed
sfe shall find that the program works
two ways.
The more we preach normal health,
the easier we shall find it to be good
natured and in the highest of all
senses popular.
The reason for this is not far to
seek. If we are to be in the least
consistent, we shall see to it that we
practice what we preach. Far from
aspiring to found a new order OF
PolyannaS, we are simply helping
ourselves and our associates to de-
velop our physical. mental and spir-
itual powers to the highest degree
possible.

Youths Rule
in skin care to keep that
schoolgirl complexion
By NORMA SHEARER

ID EAUTIFUL compilations MAY
ID be guarded easily if one will
only learn this simple beauty rule.
Today thousands credit it with
added charm and loveliness--with
keeping that schoolgirl complexion.
Yet of itself it is simple and eco

skin care.
Wash your face gently with
Palmolive Soap. Massage its baimy
olive and palm oil lati1er into the
skin. Then rinse with warm water,
and follow with dash of cold.
Do this regularly, and especially
at night, for one week. Note how
much better your skin. Use powder
and makeup ali you wish. But never

skin is inclined to be naturally dry,
apply little good cold cream.
That marks the modern idea in
beauty culture - the byored formula
for keeping that schoolgirl com
plexion."
But be sure you get the real
Palmolive. A soap made solely for
the purpose; to guard your skin. 90
years of soap study stand behind It.
It's results are proved by countless
schoolgirl compilations everywhere.
Get Pafmolivc now. Use no other
on your face. Experimenting with
improved soaps is folly. Good con-
plexions are too priceless for that.
