Window Shades

To clean window shades, use art
gum or a commercial cleaner, or,
with a brush, apply cold starch,
allowing it to dry and then brush
ing it off. If the lower half of the
shade is broken or cracked, re-
move it from the roller, and re-
verse it, lacking the worn end to
the roller. If the shade is too
short, stitch a few inches Of cam
brio to the top, where it is tackled
to the roller. Use very small taclks
to avoid injuring the spring.
Shades which have become
wrinkled from rain may be ironed.
Cheap shades may be painted TO
give them the appearance Of the
duplex shades. The first coat of
paint should be thin and Thor
oughly dry before the second coat
is applied.

Gay Health

Dizziness, deafness, depression.
lack of emotion and discourage
ment are largely the result Of too
much of carbohydrates - sugar
starches, and fat-in the diet. A
woman may be gay, full of pep
and energy, ready for anything,
able to study hard and to think
clearly, if only she will eat wisely.
1t takes study to know what is
the correct diet. We used to place
all our stress upon calories, but
they are only measures Of quaint
ity. We now know that quality is
more important.
We must know what foods con-
tain the vitamins we need for Wig
or, the iodine for the glands, the
calcium for the bones, the iron
for the blood, the phosphorus for
the nerves; and what are acid and
what alkaline in their reaction on
the body. 1t is not enough to come
somewhere near = almost - the
right diet and have the will power
to hold herself to it, year in and
year out. But consider the reward
gay health! ia
The following diet lists may
serve as a guide in choosing the
perfect diet:
Each day-one quart of milk al
so cream, butter and cheese; an
abundance of fresh fruit; lettuce
salad twice; at least three cooked
vegetables-not rice, nor potatoes;
and one egg.
Each week-Liver twice, kidney
twice, cooked oysters whenever
possible; salt water fish, as cod
fish, when oysters cannot be OBJ
tanned.
Foods to avoid-Muscle meats,
as beefsteak, roasts, chops; all
buildings pies, cakes, candies; all
breads, mullins, gems, rolls.

Roll Your Own
G0P~RISEITE5

Here's the latest for sports and
golf. Roll Your Own, the girls
call them, but they might as well
be crochet your own; for that
is what the girls are doing. It's
the hand crocheted beret, either in
French net filet stitch or in a nov
city mesh of pearl or mercerized
crocheted cotton, in any color you
like. The colors come boil-fast and
will wash like handkerchief.
It's getting to be a great pas
time for the outdoor Longing
hours on the porch or the beach.
Everywhere you will find the
crochet hooks busy with this lat
est craze. They tell us these hand
crocheted berets are going
straight through fall, both for
sports and street wear.
To make a beret, it requires but
four balls Of the pearl or mercer
lied crochet cotton, at ten cents
per ball, which can be secured at
any notion counter or at the give
and ten," plus a coarse steel GRO
Chef hook. Directions may be had
for the asking with your purchase
of the crochet cotton. No lining is
required as the CLOS Of the hair

two of the hand crocheted beret's
preatest charms

To Avoid BiIiousness


Old time biliousnes is less prev
alent now that the markets are so
full of alluring fruits and vege-
tables and that salads and fruit
cocktails are taking the place Of
heavy meats and rich buildings.
To avoid biliousness, eat lightly;
exercise much in the open air;
drink an abundance of water. live
largely on fruits and vegetables.
Eat slowly and chew thoroughly.
Before breakfast drink cup Of

The Main Meal

Some people prefer their main
meal in the morning, some at noon
and some at night. In rural dis
tricts all three meals are quite
hearty, but the main one is likely
to be- at noon. This does not suit
the city dweller, who does not have
time to go home and eat the noon
meal, or must do so hurriedly.
One must adapt his meal habits
to the requirements of his life,
and there are so many advantages
in having the heartiest meal at
the various times that one is GER
tain not to go far wrong.
A substantial breakfast gives
energy for a good mornings work,
when there are fewest interrupt
tions and when one is rested and
at his best. 1t also encourages the
digestive and eliminative organs
to activity. This is a hygienic hab-
it. Those persons who go without
breakfast are likely to feel ex-
hausted before the morning is
half over. There is current be-
lief that to study before break
fast is a strain on the eyes. 1t may
be that the whole system needs
refueling before any hard work is
undertaken.
To have light meal at noon
avoids the dull, sleepy feeling
which is likely to overtake one
after a hearty midday dinner. A
light lunch will tide one over un-
til the big evening meal and give
him mental energy with the blood
not diverted to his stomach. But
some people feel faint with no
heartw intake to fortify them for
the whole days effort and would
get too hungry for the next meal
and so be tempted to overeat at
that time.
To have the main meal at night
is convenient for the business man,
who then has leisure to enjoy it.
1t suits the school children, but it
interferes with their evening
study and early bedtime, for they
will have a restless night if they
go to bed with full stomach.
To prepare a big meal at night
is very inconvenient for the
housewife who likes to dress up
bit when the days work is done
and does not like to cook and wash
dishes with her good clothes on.
Nor does she like to curtail her
game at the bridge party SO she
can rush home and get a heavy
meal. Then, too, unless one stays
up until midnight, how is he go
ing to digest all that hearty food
eaten after evening, when his en-
ergies are down. 1t is almost GER
tain to make him toss on a rest
less pillow the whole night thru.
Why isn't it the best plan to
serve an adequate but not over
hearty breakfast, fairly square
meal at noon, and simple but
nourishing and hot supper max
ing enough to satisfy hunger, but
none of them too scant nor too
elaborate?

 CASHES IN ON
 HIS FRECKLES
Jack Oakie s Speckled Face Is Responsible for
 His Ready Wit

The boyhood of Jack Oakie, who is starring in "The Social Lion, |" which shows at the Coliseum The atre for the last times tonight, was marked with that harmless plague which most youngsters have to suffer. He had freckles Freckles and stub nose. And his hair stood on end, strayed over his eyes and behaved in other unor- thodox ways.
 Often there were taunts and jibes about his freckles. But whereas most other lads would squirm at the raillery of grown-ups and more than likely run away, this kid stood his ground and "wise-cracked" right back at those who tried to tease him. His sharp retorts got to be even smarter than those which were directed at him and his speck- led visage.
 His wise-cracking led him into vaudeville and finally to cinema heights of The Social Lion"

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 2.-All the misty-eyed movie fans who have waited with awful expectancy for the day when Ramon Novarro will say adieu to Hollywood and don the monks cowl, can cheer up and smile.
 According to nls own statement that monastery yarn was spun into tapestry by a press agent who let his horses run wild over the track of imagination.
 Novarro's home is ornamented with ancient religious relics, altars and tall candles so that he may imagine himself to be in a holy atmosphere when the mood wills. He is a strange personality. mix ture of incongruities-the heart of an actor and the soul of saint
 Perhaps that is why many of his friends regard him as a genius. At any rate, he cannot be com pared with an ordinary movie actor. Recently he has tried to shake down his "recluse" reputation by appearing at midnight parties where there is frequent clinklng of glass and the cocktail shaker make a rainbow on the ceiling. 1 Doesn't Like Whooppa
 But it is quite evident that Ra- mon doesn't like whoopee
 He hasn't figured in any of the Hollywood romances, despite the experienced technique in love-mak- ing he displays on the screen.
 He came from Mexico about thirteen years ago with his brother, Martiano Samiengos. They had gay time lodging the bandit rifles all the way from Mexico City to the border, as the country was then in the rebellious throes of a politi- cal upheaval. But they reached Los Angeles with the tremendous capital of $10.
 Missing meals was just a natural routine of the day, and they had to bunk in the dingy rooming hous- es run by garrulous proprietors.
 His first chance in pictures came in 1921 when he was selected for the leading role in Omar Khay- yam"
 "The Greatest LOverr Ramon was groomed for the title of "the greatest lover" in pictures and his pictures were acclaimed everywhere. His progress was rapid and he accumulated nice fortune. It was Rex Ingram who had chang ed the name of Saminegos to No- varro, because the Mexican name sounded too unromantic for public ears
 Ramon thinks his greatest role was that of the Prince in the movie spectacle, Ben Hur"
 This picture famed his religious fervor to big flame, and it was then reported that he intended to don the habiliments of a monk and retire from public life for good. His home in Beverly Hills has lately become the gathering place for many movie notables. He has a theatre "Intimo" built in his home, and every now and then he issues invitations to his friends. They are treated to impromptu, musicales and dramas He becomes veritable clown at these private functions. But in public he is diff fident and quietly aloof His clown capers recently made the headlines when Elsie Janis wrenched her shoulder during party given for Lawrence Tibbett.
 Cupid usually runs after those confirmed bachelors, and now that everyone knows that Ramon isn't monastery -bound-who knows?
