OF course, there are women
who swear that it is impossible
Tor them to gain, who claim
that they are just naturally
thin" Then there is the ner-
VouS woman, whose energy is
used up by her nerves and who
has hard time keeping much
fat on her bones.
Still, for all women, it is
worth while taking a try at
gaining a pound or two. Boney
backs and shoulders never were
attractive and will be less so this
season, with fashion reaching
its peak in femininity.
Intelligent persistence in TAX
ing regularly supply of food in
excess of immediate needs will
result in the gaining of weight.
The removal, so far as possible
of causes of nervous excitement
or irritation and avoidance of
unnecessary exertion will help.
You will need long hours Of
sleep if you are the thin, ner-
VouS type.
You must eat regardless Of
appetite. Increased nutrition
generally results in a better ap-
petite and better digestion. So
If you begin to slightly "stuff"
your self and find it is a great
effort, have patience!
Eventually eating the extra
rations will become a pleasure.
At first you will be wise to
take foods which are digeSted
easily. And of course liquids
are first on the list.
Milk, so valuable as a food,
can be taken hot or cold, with
added cream, or sugar, or
both, in cocoa or chocolate, in
ice creams, as matted milk or
butcermilk.
Juices from sweet fruits, with
their fuel value, increased by
the addition of sugar, are pala-
table and nutritious. Raw eggs
may sound repulsive to you,
but if you get over the idea,
you will not find them hard
to swallow. You can take
them in milk or cream, to
which has been added a touch
of sugar and vanilla, or you
may take them in fruit juice.
Cod liver oil, and it's new
partner, Haliver oil will not
only add calories, but will build
you up. Both products may be
had in capsule form now, so
that fish taste will never reach
you.
One or two additional meals
is a simple way OF adding
pounds. In the middle of the
morning, or the middle of the
afternoon, try drinking glass
of milk and some crackers. Or
take some milk before you go
to bed.
It is, of course, harder to
fatten a person, who is over
worked. In this case, you
should take short rest every
day, either during the day or
Just before dinner. Even if it
is only for 10 minutes, stretch
out and relax.
Fresh air and sunshine and
plenty of exercise are naturally
the prime factors in encourag-
ing the appetite, so get out
when you can and go in for a
little healthy exertion.

Advice to Love|orn
By Beatrice Fairfax

Sweet Sixteen and Can't Have
Dates
Dear Miss Fairfax:
am 1872 years old. My pa
rents won't let me go any
where, not even with my aunts
and uncles. am losing all my
girl friends, because I am not
allowed to visit them. I can't
even speak to some boys who
live near my home. If I go to
a movie, am compelled to take
two little cousins along with
me. All this, because I'm an
only child.
What is your opinion about
getting a little liberty and free
dom? MY parents won't listen
to anything in reason, and I
have no relatives who can help
me. ROSE G.
Parents are always more
strict with an only child than
when there is a houseful to de-
mand attention. But at 1917 it
would be very unwise to try to
wave aside their wishes and do
as some girls tell me: Go out
on the sly. hope you won't do
this, strong as the temptation
may be. And that, my dear,
answers your question about
gaining liberty and freedom.
At your age, I think your pa
rents might relax little and
let you have young friends of
both sexes come to your home
for an occasional little jollifica-
ton. Here's hoping they do.
But please don't sneak!

Dear Miss Fairfax:
1 am II years old and have
a problem, too. People tell me
I am attractive, and I guess I
would pass in a crowd, but why
is it that I have no boys ask
ing me for dates like the other
girls? Older boys around % or
% think I'm too young, but I
can't understand why boys who
are in high school with me never
ask me for dates.
don't know anyone who
could introduce me to any other
boys. I have nice clothes, home
and parents, but that doesn't
seem to help any. I'm afraid
I'm doomed to be an old maid,
and 1 don't want to be that.
T. D.
At II shouldn't worry about
being an old maid; you're still
quite young. When girls aren't
asked out, it's often because peo-
pie invest them with the idea of
being "house plants" You may
have missed out on the first two
or or three high school parties,
and the bunch" imagined you
were the type of girl who didn't
care for parties.
It's rather a cruel and short
sighted way of looking at things,
but YOUTH is too busy think
ing about itself to take on any
ones else problems. So, my
dear, you've got to stage a come

Beauty Queries
and Answers

Henna
QueStion-Is Henna injurious
to the hair? N. ].
Answer-The pure Egyptian
henna made of the leaves Of
the henna shrub is not in
furious to the hair. The chemi-
cal henna, however. contains
metallic salts. and may be
harmful to the hair health.
Premature Gray Hair
1 have premature gray hair,
and, as 1 have noticed many
people writing to you with the
same trouble, I'm sending you
my suggestion. To one pack
age of henna rinse add three
tableSpOOnSful Of peroxide, fol-
lowing the directions given on
the henna rinse package. The
peroxide will tighten the dark
hair, giving an even color.
L. A.
Answer: Thank you very
much, L. A. We appreciate
this and will be glad to hear
from any one who has any
''tried and true" remedies. Do
you know there is a gray hair
restorer highly recommended
for dark hair that doesn't
tighten it?
BlemiSheS
Question. My skin has always
been fairly clear and smooth,
but lately I've noticed the skin
on my cheeks is dotted with tiny
red bIemishes. / was wonder
ing if they could have been
caused by the rouge that I am
using Do you think so. F. B.
Answer. If you are using
rouge that is nationally recog.
nized as being a pure, good
product, 1 don't believe that it
would cause the skin condition
you mention. You may, how:
ever, be using the rouge i'm
properly, and thus causing the
skin condition. The blemishes
on your cheeks indicate that
you've been grinding the rouge
into your skin and then failing
to remove it rightly.
A good brand Of rouge will
not harm your skin if you
cleanse your skin properly after
its use. Be sure that you close
your pores effectively with a
good astringent before you ap-
ply any rouge. And use a fine
cleansing cream, and then soap
and water, to remove all of it
from your skin after its use.
Finger Nails
"QueStiOn: l have always used
nail polish and lately I have
noticed that my nails have
brown stains on them which
1 can remove only by scraping.
1 also have dents on my thumb
nails. Can you suggest any
thing to remedy this condition?

Answer: It might be we'll to

dition as this might be a re-
Election of poor health. Each eve

The Appropriate Gift


Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I always read your articles
and enjoy them immensely. In
fact whenever your column ap-
pears and pertains to questions
that perplex me, I clip it and
paste it in a notebook.
Will you please tell me
whether or not young man OF
Is should take a gift to a girls
birthday party? She is just a
good friend. LEO.
If the young man knows that
it is the hostess birthday, it is
gracious and thoughtful of him
to make some gesture about
this, but not send or take a
consequential present. A gal
liant gift is always a lovely
corsage, sent on the day of the
birthday, or taken to the party.
Or a book or several books, or
a box of candy .. something ap-
propriate like that.

Correct
Manners
By MRS. CORNELIUS
BEECKMAN
TntrOductiOnS
HUI AVSAUSVAVAAO
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Lear MIS-. D6cCh1Id1A"
Is it correct for a young
lady to offer to shake hands
with a gentleman when he is
introduced to her? w.
1t is perfectly correct for the
lady to offer her hand for a
handshake when a gentleman
is presented to her, but it is
not very customary now. Espe-
cially is it usually not "done"
in the customary casual intro
duction.
However, if the introduction
is not casual-if it is, for in
stance, an introduction which
has long been planned or been
anticipated, as when two very
close friends of a mutual
friend are being introduced
and the introduction is there
fore somewhat in the nature
of rite-then it is proper
and, indeed, rather expected
that the lady, will offer her
hand to the gentleman. She
thereby is able to register a
special enthusiasm and to give
an especially warm-hearted &C
ceptance of the introduction.
Personally, 1 am not very en-
thusiastic about having women
always offer their hands when
gentlemen are introduced, but
if they are especially cordial
women, there is certainly no
reason why they should not
shake hands if they wish to.

up to August 10th the automobile industry had turned out more cars than the 1,2s0,000 units 1t pro- duced in the entire year 1882. Pro- duction of automobiles generally closely follows retail purchases.
 Automobile output in the week ended August 12, was 53,e67 units, slightly less than in the pre- vious week, but comparing with 27,605 in the corresponding week of last year. The slight decline from the previous week was re- flected in drop in steel ingot pro- duction to around 53 per cent of capacity, against 57 per cent a week ago. Electric power output was 15.6 per cent above . year ago. against a gain of 15 per cent for the previous week.
 Bituminous coal output last week rose to 7,350,0 900 tons, against 6,770,000 tons in the previous week and 4,675,000 tons in the corresponding week of last year. Lumber output rose to 189,700.- 900 board feet from 184,937,000 feet in the preceding week.
 Increased movement of goods kept railroad freight loadings close to their best levels of the year. The sharp gains over the corre- spending period of last year were shown in an increase of 21.9 per cent in railroad employment over a year ago.

 Agreement on changes in the oil code dictated by the government was sought at g. meeting Johnson arranged with oil men at 10:30 a.. m.
 Presidential approval of the oil code was held up last night pend- ing hearing of objections of Har- ry r. Sinclair.

Under the present draft the president would fix prices of wholesale gasoline and crude oil.
 The breakup of the oil. steel and coal jam was accompanied by in- dications that the lumber code dispute likewise would be settled before MT Roosevelt leaves the capital.> The United Press learned that a lumber code ready for sub- mission to the president contained price fixing provisions similar to those drafted for oil.
