Many ways to tighten the duties

partly fill the remaining cavities
with hot water to avoid burning
the tin. Add teaspoonful or less
Of baking powder to the second

a saving OF work is effected.

tinues the farm journal, "fill 1t
with cold water, and let stand

pour all through a little strainer
that lives over the sink for the

at the amount salvaged. Add this

SUNTAN AND

situation, have given up attempt

Such women, if they wish to
avoid that white washed look.

Doris Lee Ashley in the current
pictorial Review" ASK for a
sun-tan powder" she writes. Put
the sun-tan powder in an empty
box and add some of your regular
powder: put on the lid, and shake
vigorously. AS your tan fades

always that It matches the skin

fashion expert of ''The Parents

There are quaint floral prints,

pastels, too, and many of the

BEST AID TO

the current issue OF Successful

too many OF us forget that in.
.terna1 washings are just as inn
portaht as external.
First thing In the morning"
reads Successful Farming, ''it is
best to start the day with
couple OF glasses OF warm water.
Most authorities seem to agree
that it is better not to drink
water with the meals. After break
fast drink a little water. then
again later in the morning; then
in the afternoon. and again before
supper. Have at least six glasses

IMPORTANCE
OF DIET

Health is the mecca of the sick
mans dream. Yet how often do
we suffer from i'll health because
We have not needed the three car
dinal rules of right living-plenty
OF sunshine, fresh air and simple
foods.
The medical profession and
dietetic experts all over the coun.
try have done a great service to
humanity by constantly preaching
the sermon of correct living. They
have proved to us what an all
important factor diet plays in our
lives. It Is only by supplying the
body with a variety of foods rich
in the elements that sustain life
that we can hope to build strong
and healthy bodies. Today, due to
the marvellous progress made by
science, there can be no possible
dearth of variety.
Take, for instance, the banana.
This tropic fruit that travels thou
sands of miles over land and sea
before it reaches us was until re-
cent years considered an exotic
luxury. Today it is staple food
within the reach OF everyone,
every day in the year. This fruit
is most nourishing - and a very
valuable item In the dietary of
children, for, because of its high
carbohydrate contents, it supplies
them with the necessary energy
and fuel. Doctors even recommend
it to infants.
OF course. the banana has to be
fully ripened before 1t is eaten,
and when small children are fed
bananas It is well to mash the
fruit with q silver knife, making
sure that all coarse threads adher-
ing to the pulp are removed. When
ripe, brown spots mot bruises) APP
pear on the golden skin and there
is not the slightest trace of green
left at the tips. In this condition
the fruit is easy to digest, as all
the starches have been changed
into fruit sugar.
Another thing in favor Of the
banana Is that 1t is vegetable
as well. It can be cooked in any
number OF ways, depending on the
ingenuity OF the housewife. Baked,
broiled or fried, it is an excellent
substitute for potato or rice.

DECORATING
THE HOME

Nature sets an example which
we should all follow in our flights
into the realms Of interior deco
rating, points out writer in the
Home Makers Bureau OF Peoples
Home Journal.
Fifty years ago II two colors
fought one of them was inexor-
! ably ruled from the living room.
To-Day the more scraps the mer-
rier so long as the ensemble is
pleasing. Nature never worries
about whether two colors are go
ing to flight, points out the
Peoples Home Journal expert.
"Lavishly she arrays her forests
and meadows in gorgeous autumn
nal hues-blending or in con-
trast--to achieve a veritable mir
acle OF splendor. If you adapt
natures methods to lend individ-
uality to your home, it is neces-
sary only to observe from win
dow how nature handles her
brush. You will find the theme
for a happily balanced color
scheme right at your door"
Are we not fortunate" asks
this writer, Ito be living in a
day of liberation-with no color
commands or inhibitions? Can
you imagine how drab the world
would be il grays and browns
We're to predominant? Whether
expressed in pictures, fabrics,
wall coverings or furniture, every

striving after arresting color eff
fects. We should key our homes
to brightness and good cheer, at
all times, but we need to do this
more than ever when winter re-
duces the sunlight and darkness
closes in quickly.
The modern bathroom and
Kitchen" points out Peoples
Home Journal, reflects on the
present urge for color more than
any other rooms in the house.
No longer are they to be admired
for their cold, metallic wilderness.
They are just as sanitary, but
they have been improved by the
addition of color charm, interest
and gaiety. The variety of
colors now employed in kitchen
and bathroom equipment and
fixtures-blue, green, ivory, yell
low, orchid, red and tan-makes
1t easy to express ones taste.
With any one OF these colors as
a keynote, the conscious or sub
conscious preference of the in
