Try to get at least nine hours
of sleep every night.
Dip the cushion tips of the in
dex and middle fingers in your
cream or oil and, with a gentle
circling motion, smooth the mix
ture around the eyes.
Begin with fingers placed on
each side of the bridge of the
nose. Travel upward, circle the
eyebrows, around the temples,
and down across the cheeks to
the nose again. This massage
done daily will be very beneficial
in smoothing out the lines.
Dry Scalp
Dear Miss Shelby:
I have tried putting olive oil
on my very dry scalp, but it
doesn't seem to do any good.
Please help me.
I have dark brown hair and
eyes. What is my particular
color chart? Sincerely,
Dear Mrs. T. o.:
Stimulate your scalp by brush
ing the hair thoroughly at least
once each day. Then take :
dividual strands and pull them.
This is a very good exercise
for the scalp and increases the
circulation, thus making the
glands that feed the hair func-
ton properly.
Your color chart is as follows:
dark rachel powder, green or
brown eye shadow, brown eye
brow pencil, raspberry rouge
and crimson lipstick.

and fruits you can substitute
for each other so far as food
values are concerned.
White potatoes and sweet po-
tatoes or rice, for example: buy
the one that is cheaper. Some
times it will be one, other times
one of the others.
Cabbage is a very important
vegetable to keep in mind. 1t
is full Of vitaminS, and mex
pensive. There is a big crop Of
cabbage, and at this writing the
price has hardly gone up at all.
In winter cabbage is the
cheapest and easiest vegetable
to use raw, in cold Slaw or. in
salad. Raw or cooked, and, re-
member, S or 10 minutes cook
ing is plenty-cabbage is al
ways useful and cheap.
Canned tomatoes will also be
inexpensive, as there is large
supply, both on pantry shelves
and in commercial stock. To-
matoes should be used two to
four times a week when you are
keeping to "rock-bottom" diet.
If, at any time, citrus fruits
should be cheaper in your
locality-they may be substi-
tuted for the tomatoes, occa'

no great tendency to become
expensive.
With that kind of variation,
and by keeping our eyes on the
bottom prices, we should be
able to work out good, ade-
quate meals on just the lowest
priced foods.
For example-using present
supplies and prices as a basis
you could have a splendid
dinner by using breast of lamb,
stuffed, as a good roast, with
Drowned potatoes around it,
and breadcrumbs Stuffing.
Stewed tomatoes, raw carrot
sticks for salad, bread, butter
and milk, finished off with a
baked apple would make a
good. nourishing meal, at a
minimum cost.
Apples, by the way, have also
gone down in price-in spite OF
the fact that the apple crop is
much smaller than normal this
year!
Ups and Downs
Nobody can tell, of course, in
advance, exactly what prices
will do. But undoubtedly there
will be ups and downs, and by
watching. the market carefully,
a good housewife should be able
to feed her family well, and at
relatively low cost.

selves in the end by what they

Get milk surely, and fruits

add your bread. fats, sugars and
cereals in relation to what you

The Department of Agriculture
assures us that there will be no
serious shortage Of wholesome,
nourishing food, in spite of the
drought.
The crop estimators say that
the supply of vegetables will

tention to Barbel, not only be-
cause of her interesting life,
but because she is a very rare
variety of dachshund-the long

the smooth coats, the most COM

Barbel's master writes us
about his pet. He says:
IT purchased this dog on
April /, 1888, from my brother
while I was visiting my rela-
tives in Germany. My brother
is state forester in southern
Germany. He shipped the dog
to Hamburg, where I was re-
siding at the time.
1.-THE very next morning I
took the dog for a walk and
made the mistake of letting her
run free. She disappeared like
lightning and started for her
home, a distance of about 225
miles, and she arrived at the
home of her old master in four
days.

"To make such a distance
in so short a time, she must
have taken a line like the crow

files. She must have crossed
the river Elbe (the size OF the
Hudson) and several small rivers
to reach her home.
"She arrived at her home in
perfect health and once more
she was sent to Hamburg and
later I took her to New York.
Since then that dog is my steady
companion and made many
voyages in my ship and is now
a regular seaman.
"She is one mans dog and
when I go on shore and don't
take her with me she will bark
and tear everything that comes
in her way, trying to get out
to follow me-"

1t is quite natural for your

since you have lost such a lot
of weight. After cleansing your
face with cold cream, use a

Leave the nourishing cream

Her Tragedy
Dear Miss Fairfax.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
The tragedy Of my life is that
I am an atrocious dancer. I
think my awkwardness comes
from being so self-consicous, and
the fact that my feet are rather
large. Il wear a 5-B ShoeO
So, when a young man asks me
to dance, I have a way of letting
him down gently by saying:
Thanks, but I think it will be
more of a marathon than a
pleasure"
Some of them fade away after
that, and others are SO scared
that they dance badly, even
when they're experts. Now, I
find myself a perennial wall
flower at dances, and I am so
miserable I know I've made a
mistake in saying that I dance
badly. How can I rectify this
blunder?
SALLY CINDERELLA.
Don't you know, my dear, that
people have way of taking you
at your own valuation. You've
handed out the fact right and
left that you're bad dancer,
and have now earned a reputa-
ton which will be pretty hard
to live down.

Hair Needs Rinsing

Hair Needs RinSlng
Dear Miss Shelby:
No matter how many times
I rinse my hair after washing,
there remains a white, soapy
residue.
Do you recommend any spe-
cific rinse that will not change
the color of the hair?
Recently I have lost much
weight. Can you suggest some
thing that will erase the ensu-
ing lines in my face? Sincerely,
A. L. c.
Dear Mrs. A. L. c.:
The reason your hair is sticky
Is because you do not get all the
soap out before drying it. Rinse
it in warm water until you can
hear it squeak" That is a
sure sign that you have gotten
the soap out.
There are many vegetable
rinses on the market that will
