The picture is from a series of
charts on good posture prepared by
the extension service Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
These talks ON posture include ad-
vice on the proper position for all
sorts of home activities, both out
doors and indoors. The charts indi-
cate by analogy with indoor tasks,
that for garden work, too, such as
digging, wedding, planting, and tasks
that require STOPPING, it is possible to
carry on the job and at the same time
avert the fatigue that comes from
bad position maintained for long
stretches. Work close to the ground,
for example, can be done on a kneel-
ing pad, with the back straight and
the shoulders fiat; hoeing and raking
can be done like hopping or sweep
ing, keeping the abdomen and hips in
the correct position and the feet
squarely on the ground. Pruning, wa
tering and gathering garden products
are, similarly, much less fatiguing if
good posture is maintained while car
rying them on.

It is not always wise to tell all one
knows as to the contents of dish,
for some conscientious directors will
refuse to try madeover dish, or re-
arranged food.
Now, who will dare to call steamed
pudding leftover? Yet one may pre-
pare most tasty one with a few
squares of corn bread, cupful of left
over cocoa, a bit of oatmeal, a few
raisins and a couple of egg yolks left
from some icing or dessert.

Some particularly appetizing ways
Of using. cream cheese in lunch dishes

in this photograph from the bureau OF
home economics of the United States
Department of Agriculture. The salad
of green peppers, stuffed with cream
cheese, is served with crisp lettuce
leaves on a green glass salad plate.
1t tempts by color and texture as well
as by its flavors. Canned pimientos
could have been stuffed for a red
salad, or such fruits as prunes, figs,
canned peaches, or pears, for a fruit
and cheese salad. Large cherries, too,
are good with cream cheese stuiiing
or with cheese balls and mayonnaise
dressing.
For afternoon tea, dainty rolled and
open sandwiches made with cream
cheese will usually prove popular.
The open sandwiches consist of a
cracker covered with cheese and dec

Neufchater and cream cheeses are
valuable for the protein. fat, phos-
phorus and calcium they furnish to
the diet. They may be introduced into
almost any meal-as part of the APP
petizer at the beginning of dinner
or of the dessert at the end. and in
any course between. Gingerbread
with a cream cheese filling, shown in

for lunch or dinner. Here are recipes

Leftover custard may be used the

AS we should regard a good meal
as important in itself, we will learn
to appreciate and value the food that
makes good meal.
Accident is often the mother of new

when making sponge cake that it
was more fetching when the egg yolks
were added unbeaten and stirred in
to make the cake streaked gold and

Pleatings Solve Many Problems

it has become the rule rather than the
exception. A favorite use of fine knife
pleating is to border both blouse and
skirt with 1t.
Have you tried trimming with pleat-
ed lace? If you are making blouse
or dress Of allover lace, for instance,
cut strips Of any width which may hap
pen to suit your fancy. Have them
picot-edged and pleated. You will find
that these pleated frills give beauti-
full finish to all edges.
Enthusiasm for pleating also carries
into the coat realm this season. Full
length coats of either light wooden or
silk are given very youthful and fiat
tering lines in that they are bordered
about the bottom with pleated flounces
of considerable depth, the pleating re-
peated on the now-so- fashionable three
quarter sleeves and If there be cape
collar it is also finished with pleating.

Fifty Years Unwashed

A well-known Norfolk hermit, Ed
win Ernest Colman, aged seventy
eight, was found dead at Gissing,
near Diss (England), with bruise
on the head. He was turned out of
two homes and an effort was made
to evict him from shed in which
he took refuge. AS the result OF a
public petition, however, he was al
lowed to remain. A whist drive was
held, and with the proceeds and do
nations Colman's shed was remod-
eled and he had since lived peace
fully there, looking after his poultry.
: 1t is reported that he had not UNI
dressed for years and had not
washed for so years.

The chiffon is printed in large pink
roses on black background. The
sequins agreed to let the roses stay
soft and pink and untouched if they
would agree to let all the, black spaces
behind them go seQuin. -

NAVY SECRE TARY SAYS
 MISLEADING STATISTICS
 DISSEMINATED ABl1UT NAVY

WASHINGTON, D. O., Nov 3. (P) Another chapter was written in the controversy between President Hoover and the Navy League when Charles Francis Adams Secretary of the Navy, took issue with the World Peace Foundation for dis eminating misleading information" designed to show the United States is spending twice as much as Great Britain on her Navy.
 The specific basis of Secretary Adams bridling attack on the foun- dation and other pacifist organiza tions was recent statement where in the foundation, according to Mr. Adams, leaves it's readers with the impression that in 1930 the United States expended $553,378,- 5o5 on it's Navy and Great Britain's Naval expenditures for the same period were $242, 850,711."
 MT. Adams pointed out that while the United States Navy budget is larger than foreign powers, the ra- tio of American Naval expenses to the national income is much less than other powers. He also point ed out that true figures for 1880 Naval expenditures were, for the United States, $375, 100000 He add- ed that taking into account higher wages paid American sailors and higher building costs, we have comparatively inexpensive Navy establishment"
 Simultaneously with Secretary Adams statement the first break appeared in the ranks of the Navy League. Colonel Henry Breckin- lidge, Assistant Secretary of War under the late President Woodrow Wilson, divorced himself from any portions of the Leagues assertions that speak with diSrespect of the President of the United States" Colonel Breckinlidge is a mem Der of the executive council of the Navy League.
