Declaring the practice is unfair to

board asserted the vendors constitute
a public nuisance and a traffic hazard.
The board pointed out there was a
police regulation in effect which per-
mitted venders to stop their vehicles
only long enough to make a sale. The
regulation passed by the Commissioners
during the past year, however, which
nullifed the former regulation and per-

tremely narrow shoulder straps
are quite a point.
Satin-Striped Panties
Maybe you're as attached to
pantie briefs as we are, even
in the winter time! Then you'll
love the little shortie sketched
next to the right. 1t eliminates
every bit of fulneSS by a deep
front and back yoke, and it
buttons on the left side. The

This one has elastic in the
back, and groSgrain ribbon
shoulder straps. The pantie
costs around $1.25, and the ban
deau about Z! cents. Both are
made of a material different
from the other. This has satin
stripes all through it. And it's
soft and sheer and smooth
more than you can imagine.
Ones All, for Ones Enough
Yet, even two pieces of lin
gerie aren't really necessary.
The dainty little garment at
the right combines the prac-
ticality of braSSiere and vest
and pantieS all in one. A
combination made in that satin
stripe material that's so good
looking. 1t has double ban
deau top, with an adjustable
drawstring front to accentuate
the form to any degree you
like. There's a wide pantie
bottom, and a semi-low back
which makes this all,in-one gar
ment suitable for everything
from sports to evening wear.
Think Of that, for about $3.50!

Your Health
And Diet
By Logan CIendening, M. D.

THE WATER balance of the
body is one of the most beauti-
fully adjusted phenomena in
nature.
BY means of water balance
is meant the preservation Of
the amount of water in the
body at a definite level.
First, it is almost impossible
to add any water to the tissues
of a normal body beyond what
they need. Several years ago
Professor Rowntree attempted
by some experiments to see
whether any water could be so
added permanently to a body.
He instituted feeding expert
ments, using only water. Any
amount of water could be
forced into the body. but it was
all thrown out Immediately by
the kidneys, the perspiration,
the lungs, and by way of The
inteStineS. The permanent
weight of tRe oody from water
alone could be increased only
by an infiniteSimal amount,
and when this small amount of
water was absorbed into the
tissues very uncomfortable Symp-
toms Supervened.
On the other hand, loss of
water from the tissues is i'm
mediately signalized by one of
the most imperative demands
the mechanism of the body
recordS-thirst. And when this
is extreme every one who has
ever experienced it reports that
it is as narrowing and horrible
an agony as can be imagined.
Disturbance of water balance
is always accompanied by dis
turbance of salt balance in the
blood and tissues.

too, with the appearance of

Think Of a gown like this for
less than $500 And the price
will seem more surprising when
you feel the material. It's as
soft and supple as satin. Such

advantage of not shrinking or

Cuffs and Bands and YOkeS
They're making every kind OF
lingerie in this same new rayon
material-bloomerS with elastic
all around or with yoke fronts.
Cuff bloomers, too, and regula-
ton or band leg panties. They're
all carefully tailored and a far,
far cry from the old-time rayon
underwear.
If you're after real protection
from chilly winter winds, you're
most of all interested in bloom
ers. And we've illustrated the
most wearable type we've seem
right next to the nightgown.
It's intricately kut. with deep,
deep yoke effect front and back
to hold it flat and smooth
through the hips. The side faS-
tening runs the length of the
yoke, so that stepping in and out
of it is Simplified. You'll love
the way it fits. And the price
is just about a dollar.

The Washington times., 1932-01-02

Women used to prefer wear
ing silk lingerie to rayon, but
these days there's so little diff.
ference in the feel you can
hardly tell which you have on.
They're making rayon in such
a fine, soft silk knit that it
looks almost like silk. And
making it up in styles that
are giving silk lingerie a run
for it's money.
In fact, rayon underthings
today are so nicely tailored and
so altogether dainty and de-
sirable that there's no reason
for wanting anything else for
general wear. They're such a
saving, too. Not in just the
original price, but also in the
marvellous durability that rayon
now has. Launder rayon lin
gerie time and time again, and
you'll wonder how it keeps
that fresh, new look so indefi-
nitely long.
Smart Shoulder Treatment
We mentioned the attractive
styles, and one we had in mind
was the nightgown pictured at
the left. You know you've
never seen a more Smartly
tailored gown in any silk ma
terial. That frol& and back
yoke that gives the V-neckline
is a very new fashion, for the
bands widen toward the top
in a broad-Shoulder effect-the
way some of the new dresses
do. You'll want to notice the
ingenious way the hem's put in,
