You are about 10 pounds
overweight. Exercise q little
more and eat a little less, but do
not undertake a starvation diet
which may upset your digestion
and lead to all sorts OF beauty
defects.
I would suggest for breakfast
fresh orange Juice, one piece Of
whole wheat bread toasted and
thinly buttered and q cup Of cof-
fee with little cream and sugar,
or, better still, cup OF hot
water favored with lemon juice.
At noon eat bowl Of nouriSh-
ing soup-not creamed soup, a
slice Of bran or whole wheat
bread thinly buttered, and a
salad with light French dress
ing.
Your dinner might consist Of
lean meat or fish, one fresh vege-
table, one slice Of whole wheat
bread, buttered, salad If you
wish and a simple dessert. A
bowl df crackers and milk also
makes a good luncheon. Do not
eat between meals, but drink
plenty Of water. and If you
wish, fresh fruit juices.
Morning and night rise first
on your toes, then on your heels
as far as you can SO times each.
That will keep circulation &C
tive through your ankles and
tend to reduce SuperfluouS fat.
I am glad you like to use lip
pomade. It prevents the lips
from chapping, and chapping
makes them look larger and
swollen, so you see, If anything,
lip pomade would have the eff
feet Of reducing the thick look
Of the lips.
"A ROSE POT-POURRI.
DEAR MADAME JERTTZA:
Will you be good enough to
give me a receipt for q rose pot
pourri? I'm especially inter-
ested In one that has few in
gradients and those of q kind
that I might use daily and so
would not have to purchase es-
pecially for this.
May I add that although I've
never written before I've fol-
lowed your column daily and
have benefited by the advice
you have given others. I wish
to thank you in advance for
your kindness. B. K.
am so glad you have been
benefited by. my column and
] thank you for telling me so.
Here is a simple practicable
recipe for ROSE. pot-pourri-
one you can use whenever you
The Washington times., 1929-11-22

are given a>bouquet Of roses or
even q single rose.
As soon as your bouquet or
rose begins to fade, discard all
but the flower petals and lay
them to dry on q piece Of news
paper in a cool, dry place.
When they are thoroughly dried
about two days 1ater--place q
layer Of petals in g porcelain
rose jar or any glass jar hav-
ing q cover.
Over this layer Of petals,
sprinkle q second layer consist
ing Of a bit Of graded nutmegs,
O cinnamon stick broken in bits,
pulverized mace, ground all
spice and ground cloves and
also powered orris root mixing
all these ingredients together.
They are inexpensive and all
save the orris root may be
found in the average pantry.
Let the third layer be rose
petals, the fourth, the ground
spices, and so on until your jar
is full or your rose-petalS are
used up. You can add to the
pot-pourri from time to time
whenever you have faded roses.
Keep the jar covered except
when you wish to enjoy the
fragrance of your spicy pre-
fume. Then If you wish, place
q few leaves in a pretty low
bowl on a table or leave the
jar uncovered for q time so
that the fragrance can escape.

2. When the so-called oyster
crackers, about the size of q
l0-cent piece, are served with
soup, what Is the proper way
Of taking them from the dish
in which they are passed?
CURIOUS.
On the dish with the pickles
should be placed, If the service
Is perfect, a silver utensil that
Is convenient for the size Of
pickles. Often the double serv.
ing method Is uSed-that Is, the
rather long-handled, deep
bowled, pierced spoon on the
left, and the two pronged fork
on the right. These are most
convenient. II either or both
are placed with the pickles,
serve yourself and take the
pickles onto the bread-and-

these may be useful If they tend
toward an object-but too often
they do not. They start with
II wonder If" and end not
far from there.
The point Is that with all the
thinking done by everybody day
in and day out, almost none Of
it Is the logical, forward-Hnoving
thought which is the basis Of
all right action, Of all progress.
We need to clear our minds
Of the unnecessary and wan
dering thoughts" We need to
get them out Of the way, as
men clear a road so traffic can
go through.
We need to cultivate con-
structive thought: to form the
habit Of ideas which will ex-
press themselves in progress in

Household Hints

Put. your soap powder in an
old cocoa tin and perforate
holes in the lid. You will find
1t handler to use this way and
less wasteful.
A little shelf somewhere near
your sink is a boon for the
bottles and tins you wish to
keep handy. Keep here as well
q bottle Of glycerine and rose
water and half q lemon for
your hands.
Along the edge Of this shelf
have a few hooks nailed and
on these hang saucepan brushes,
soap containers, even a small
saucepan that Is to be kept
handy.
