Today we are featuring Mrs.
Allen Deale's Persian cat,
Sugar" Mrs. Deale answered
our appeal in this column for
a clearer picture Of her pet
and here it is!
The feeding of cats is very
important. They need regular
mealS-and the right kind.
Two good meals a day is not
too much. They should have
plenty of fresh drinking water
always within reach.
Milk is good for them, but
it does not take place Of water
or of food as many persons
are prone to think. They asso-
ciate mentally a cat and a
bowl Of milk-and imagine
that to be sufficient.
Need Meat
A cat should have a varied
diet. But cats are extremely
different in their tastes and
will not eat what they do not
like. You must be guided a
great deal by their inclination.
Meat is a necessity to them.
They usually prefer it raw or
finely chopped, except liver,
which should be slightly grilled.
Fish must be cooked and all
bones removed.
Chicken bones are also
dangerous. A cat needs fresh
meat or fish every day. Green
vegetables are good if they
will eat them-but potatoes
should be avoided. Many cats
The Washington times., 1934-09-18
FOR YOUNGER STUDENTS SHOULD BE APPETZNG AND SANITARY

will eat potatoes whenever
they get a chance-but they
are sick afterwards.
Vary Diet
They usually like asparagus,
beets and sweet corn, some
times tomatoes or cabbage.
Cats will often eat plain dry
bread or plain cake in prefer
ence to bread and milk. Any
cereal is good for them in
moderation. ardineS or
canned salmon are good for
a change if you cannot get
fresh fish.
1t is useless to put down
just any kind of scraps for a
cat to eat-regardless of it's
personal taste. For this ami.
NAL is so peculiar that it will
remain undernourished rather
than eat what it does not
want.
Food for your cat should
always be chopped or cut into
very fine pieces. Cats cannot
bolt their food in the same way
as a dog-and their digestive
tract is very small.

your pet. Liz Hume invites you

Smartest women of France and

For the makers of one Of the

for the ugly "nose-to-mouth

Dear Miss j. B. S.:
To relieve the nose-to-mouth
try this: Fill the mouth with
air and puff hard against the

Picks Her Own Friends

Dear Miss Fairfax:
Please don't think me con-
ceited when I say I am consid-
cred quite striking in appear
ance and personality, and am
very popular. I am II and
very versatile. Up to a few
weeks ago. I had been going
with a college boy, whose
friendship I enjoyed more than
that of any boy.
A few weeks ago, not having
seen him for some time, I &C.
cepted a date, and invited him
to go along. He went, but
toward the end of the evening
became frightfully cool, not to
say rude.
And when I asked him when
I should expect him over, he
merely shrugged his shoulders
and gave me an evasive answer,
so I walked off and left him
deciding.
In what way could I recover
his friendship? w. B. w.
When a young man acts the
way this one did, the best med
icine for him is a good dose
of absent treatment. Perhaps
going to college has spoiled
him, or he may be a bit in awe
Of some of your advantages.
I'm glad you are popular be-
cause it will help you to make
new friends. But as he
shrugged his shoulders and was
evasive when you invited him

Thinks Wife Doesn't Know
Dear Miss fairfax:
I've been married twice. The
first time the girl tricked me,
and eventually I got divorce.
A year later I married again,
and we got along splendidly for
six months. Then we had plenty
of quarrels, and have had plenty
for the last six years.
My wife is so jealous that
if she catches me dancing sew
eral times with a woman dur
ing the course of an evening, I
catch the mischief when I 60
home. I really don't like to
break up with her, yet on the
other hand I have fallen in love
with another woman who loves
me, but my wife doesn't know
anything about that.
Would you advise me to get a
divorce and marry this lady, or
continue to live with my wife
and quarrel?
DISCONTINUED.
Trust your wife for not know
ing about the other lady. It's
safe to say that she does. and
that's probably the grounds for
most Of the quarrels.
You tell me you don't care
about breaking up your home,
which suggests that, apart from
the arguments, she makes you
comfortable. Why not try CIV
ing her less cause for jealousy
in the future?

Advice to the LoveIorn

City Life Changes Country Girl
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I went with her STEADY"
for six months, and we were
very much in love with each
other. She lived in the coun-
try where she had for COM
pany few boys and girls Of
her age. About a month ago
she came to the city to stay
with her sister. Now she seems
to have lost interest in me.
The least little show of
affection or attempt to kid her
gets her peeved, but she never
acted like that when she lived
in the country.
She meets young people at
her sisters, but doesn't go
steady" with any Of the boys.
Some people say that coun-
try girls, coming to the city,
act that way. Is that a fact?
L. H.
Don't lose confidence in your
self so easily. It's more than
likely that the change from
country to city life may make
this young lady appear a bit
more "high-hat" than she
really is. Just give her a
chance to become acclimated.

Dear Miss Shelby:
My face is covered with un-

Dear Mrs. K. E.:
WhiteheadS are caused by
clogged pores. To correct this
condition you should wash your
face frequently with warm
water and a mild neutral soap
or washing preparation, such as
many Of the cosmetic houses
make.
After washing. dry the face
with a towel. Then apply an
aStringent to close the pores
after they are clean and pre-.
vent dirt from entering them.
If you keep up this treatment,
I am sure you will find the
whiteheads disappearing rapidly.
