Dear Editor:
see where you scorch a
young man because he wants a
rich wife as he does not care so
much about work-at least work
where he gets all covered with
perspiration. You are all wrong.
just to prove you are wrong,
will cite my case. At Is l had
a case of sickness and after
that lost all interest in work.

wealthy lady, we became mar
ried, and we get along fine. I
have never done a stroke of
work since and I think this idea
of men always working their
heads off is cruel and unSound.

out like you say-my wife gives
me a regular allowance, and if
I want $500 to entertain some
body she loans me said sum.
She is awful nice. She will say,
Teddy. you look like you need
a new tuxedo" so right away

way. There is only one thing
I lack in my life. I need a
valet, but I am backward about
this. You have no idea, though,
how much toilsome work there
is in watching after your
clothes. 1 hate to dress myself,
otherwise I am happy.
T. Won B.
Dear T. Won B.:
Wouldn't you like someone
to wash your face for you, and
to feed you with a spoon, too?
And to take you out in a per-
ambulator on nice days?
I could get all worked up
and bothered about a case like
yours, but I don't think you're
worth anybody having a stroke
over. and my doctor has
warned me about my high
blood pressure.

My mother does not wish me
to wait for any man two or
three years. Do you think it
wise for me to go only with
this young man, or shall I con-
tinue my other courtships? Of
course, that means must wait
for the first young man quite a
number of years. am terribly
undecided. MISS "a"
It all depends on how much
you care. Men and women
truly in love have waited cheer
fully much longer than two or
three years. But if you'd like
to be married and settled"
and you are in a frame of mind
to look with favor on one of
these other young men who are
attracted to you, there is no
reason why you should wait for
a man about whom you feel
rather lukewarm and whose
prospects are so uncertain. Un-
der the circumstances, he
shouldn't object to your going
around with other men

But I would like to tell you
a few interesting facts about
plant and animal life I've seen
lately in motion pictures. (You
wouldn't have seen them. Nov.
ing your eyeballs hither and
yon while watching screen
would be too much work for
you0
Have you ever heard about
the little animals that attack
plants-parasites, they're called
and that get their sustenance
by clinging to the plant and
draining it of its sap? They
don't have to work or worry
about where their next meal
is coming from, but nobody
loves them. They're nasty
looking little creatures and
they don't do bit of good in
the world. But they have an
easy life.
Then there are the sucker
fish. equipped by nature with
queer little vacuum cups where
their backbones ought to be.
They attach themselves to larger
fish and just travel around
without any effort at all.
Your fate, with the attend
ant grief that you are so merrily
storing up for future reference,
is all in the cards already. You
are married to the type of Wom-
an who likes young men who
are weak willed enough to ac-
cept her bounty. But, boy, when
you get a few years older. what
a shock you're going to get. For
then your benefactress will be-
gin looking around for a
younger, briSker man, and you'll
go out on your worthless ear.
Then you'll have to find an
older, fatter, sillier and less
wealthy woman. And from there
on down.

ways should they be eaten with
out hurry. The way the parents
eat is always taken as a guide
by the child.
Never tempt a child to eat
by promising him candy or a
toy. If child dislikes some
particular article of diet, serve
this first, while he is still hum
cry. In fact, train the child so
that he will not dislike any kind
of food Emphasize the health
and strength factors contained
in the food you wish him to eat.
Candy
Teach a child to chew we'll
and point out that by so doing
he gets the best taste and the
most enjoyment out of eating.
One may often gain a child's
interest by telling him or show,
ing him how food is prepared
and cooked, or by having him
assist in the process.
Candy is good for children
provided it is not eaten to eX'
cess. One or two pieces after
lunch and after dinner are am
pie. If a child stubbornly re-
fuses to eat his spinach, for ex-
ample, the candy ration may be
withheld as a punishment.
DIR. Bisch's Daily Diet Hint
Liquid diets, which are so use
full in feeding the sick and con-
valescent, should be given in
small amounts and frequently.
For instance, albuminized lemon
ade may be given at 9 a. m. and
3 p. M; a cup of broth at IL
a. M, 7 p. M. and II p. M;
cruel at p. m. and 9 p. m. Al.
buminized lemonade is made of
two tablespoonfuls of lemon
juice in a cup of water, to which
two tablespoonfuls of sugar and
the white of one egg have been
added.

Beauty Queries
and Answers
Shiny Nose

Shiny Nose
Question: How can 1 correct a
shiny nose condition? Can you
let me know soon? S. M.
Answer: Shiny noses are caused
by an abundance of oil eXuding
from the skin almost as plenti-
fully as perspiration. The first
step for the correction of this
condition is the plentiful use OF
soap and warm water, both
night and morning.
After the face has been
cleaned, an astringent lotion
should be applied, followed by
an astrlngent cream. Massage
the cream in. Let the cream
remain over night and remove
in the morning.
Dash cold water over the
eyes and wash face and nose
with soap and water again.
Pat an astringent lotion into
the skin with the finger tops.
Saturate a small sponge with
water, squeeze out, dip into the
astringent lotion and rub over
paste form powder and draw
gently over face, nose and
neck. Smooth out any Streaks
and make a second application.
Dust on dry powder. In a few
days you will notice a great i'm
provement.
Large Hips
Question: 1 am very large
through my waist and hips.
What exercises would you ad-
vice to bring them down?
Thanking you very much.
MRS. w. H. M.
Answer: There's an exercise
which might be good for you.
Lie flat on your back with your
arms outstretched to the sides.
Bring the left knee up, circle
it to the right four times, to
the left four times, and down.
Bring the right knee up and
circle it likewise. Then bring
both knees up, circle them to
the left four times, then to the
right four times, and down.
The bicycle exercise is excel
lent also.
Streaked Skin
QUESTION: 1 am II years
of age. Last summer I got a
nice tan which during the
winter began to wear off in
places. These marks look ter
rible. Please tell me what
can do. MISS T. S.
Answer: There are a number
of good creams on the market
that have bleaching qualities.
You try smoothing them all
over your face, arms and chest
where you say the tan has not
worn off. There are stronger
bleaches that you can use. but
I should use them only if the
cream fails. They are drying
to the skin and must be coun-
teracted with nourishing
creams.

W1OlS "AOA AAo AJ SASAS Va AAN'
Eating between meals always
"spoils the appetite" Even
when the child attends school
there is usually no good rea
son why he should have an
apple or a glass of milk when
he returns at 3 o'clock. He
may feel hungry at that time,
to be sure, but if food is avoid
ed-especially sweets-he soon
develops an excellent eating
habit, namely to wait for meals
at regular times and then to
relish them.
"ChoOsey"
Children who do not sleep
long enough. or who play too
hard, or who are nervous, may
also develop precarious appetites.
Such children soon become
"choosey" about their meals.
They want to eat only one or
two dishes and let the rest go.
Nothing, however, could be
worse for their developing
organs and tissues. Not only
is variety essential but it must
be variety which includes always
protein, carbohydrate and fat
constituents, not to mention
fresh greens, milk and the
vitamins.
Proper eating habits should
really be started with the very
young, even before they can
talk and walk.
For example. child should
never be allowed to play with
it's food or to exhibit a play
attitude while at table. If the
little tot won't eat, do not try
to amuse him if, by SO doing,
the intention is to get him to
eat without his realizing it. The
point to remember is that If he
is hungry he will eat. Skip
ping one meal usually creates
hunger for the next.
Meals should, of course, be
served at regular hours and al

These are the things which bind
me:
Deeds I will not forget,
And days long left behind me
Through which I journey yet,
A score of treasured letters,
Grown yellow now with years;
These are the steel-strong fetters
To which I cling with tears.
These fetters I have fashioned
To bar my life from bliss:
A vanished hour. impassioned,
An unforgotten kiss.
If I should rise tomorrow
And cast them all away,
The sweet and secret sorrow,
The name I never say,
Then prouder, braver, better
My life would flow at last,
If I should lose each fetter

Basic Hints
The hair, like the skin, re-
fleets very definitely the con-
dition of the body. You can
not expect to possess luxurious,
lustrous hair if your circula-
tion is sluggish, nerves jan
gled, and digestion upset.
Those fundamentals you will
have to figure out for your
self.
Your hair should receive
daily care even when the body
is in radiant health. We rely
too much on our hairdresser
to work miracles. No matter if
the hair is long or short, in
the growing stage, or naturally
curly, straight, or permanently
waved, it must be kept free Of
dust and the circulation of the
blood in the scalp stimulated
so that the sebaceous glands
will function properly. 1t
should also be given a periodic
shampoo.
Scalp Massage
The scalp, like the complex
tion may be either normal, dry,
or oily, and the hair thick,

should be free from the bony

Dear Miss Fairfax:

when a misunderstanding arose.
We got with a crowd of six
couples, all married. One lady
in the group has been quite at
tentive to my husband of late.
They both act so self-conscious;
she constantly watches my man
to see if he won't ask her to
dance.
The other night during a
party my husband went out and
she followed him. So I went out,
too, and found them walking
hand in hand down to the
parked car. My husband says
there is nothing between them,
that he loves me only, and that
this woman is just a good
dancer.
This is our first misunder-
standing. Am I foolish for no
ticing every little thing that
doesn't look right to me?

Economic recovery in the United
States has begun and will most
probably be rapid but before COM
plete readjustment is accomplished
the dollar, as measured in COM
modify prices will have to shrink
nearly SO -13 per cent from its
present value, Irving Fisher, pro-
fessor of political economy at
Yale University declared here to-
day.
Prof. Fisher is scheduled to
address the International ASSo-
citation Of Lions Clubs which are
In convention here.
The relation policies of the
Government were credited by
Prof. Fisher with starting the
economic recovery. Prof. Fisher
defined relation "aS that degree
Of initiation justified as counter
acting previous deflation."
The economist declared that
the dollar has dropped approx
tmately II per cent since Presi-
dent Roosevelt came into office.
According to a price index which
Prof. Fisher issues weekly gen.
eral commodity prices have al
ready risen 81 per cent since
March. Before the commodity
dollar is restored to it's 1925 value,
where he says it should be, Prof.
