What 7he Doctor SaW BY DIR, s, J. CRUMBlNE, GENERAL EXECUTIVE AMERICAN CHILD HEALTH ASSOCIATION

| Filthy alleys, especially those hack of the stores, wore swept clean as Q whistle. Vacant lots, used ts dumping grounds, were cleared and the rubbish burned. And tvery- where they went tho boys explained to house cholderH and Storek eoperH how flies breed and feed tn dirt and decaying matter, especially in stable manure, and how they carry disease germs to tho kitchen or din. Ing table, to tho cream pitcher or sugar basin, in fact to every object they touch.
 That evening, l remember, the local doctor and walked through the newly .clea ned Strc0ts and men, tnIy congratulated the boys on their work. Wo ended up at the town hall, where the mothers of the scouts woro entertaining them with m enormous dinner, and wo were just in timo to hear the an. nouncomont that the fathers (n0t to Do out.donc) had invited them all to the local movie. They'd certainly earned it, for never again did that little town go back to It's previous fly.infostod state. The lesson was taken to hoart.
 That, as l say, was years aKo, but tho work is still going on. This is Anti.Fly Week In our eommun- ity, and Blll Johnson has just been telling ma about the plans for this years campaign. There is to bc . special film ut tho local movie, showing tho life History and habits Of tho house fly. Tho local mer- chants are stocking up with fly swattors, inseeticidoa. and screens and arc working out ingenious ways Of advertising them. The neWspa per editor has promised to cooperate by printing announce. ments and "stories" on tho cum. paign. Bills fellow scouts are making their annual drive to clean up picnic places, vacant lots, out buildings and alleys. And finally there tS to Do q garbage can in. spection, to see that all house. old . CTS arc using clean cans with tight fitting covers.
 The Johnsons have nothing to re. pr0aeh themselves within on tlis last count. Mrs Johnson learned long ago to seald out her garbage can regularly, to keep it tightly closed, and to set it well uway from the Kitchen door or window Moreover, she keeps swattcrh in ovory room of hcr house, and has taught the children to use thcm without mercy on any flies that manage to get Inside. Naturally she doesn't want to encourage cruelty, but she explains to { he children just why flies must be killed if human beings are to be protected.

 There are many beauty prepar. ations that the average woman can eliminate from her list of CO.'S metlc necessities. But cleansing cream is not ono of them.
 Tho girl with oily skin can dls- pense with nOurishing creams and the very youthful person probably has no immediate need for muscle ollg, strong astrlngentg and the like. However, thero ls absolute ly no one - md this includes tho soap and water hddicts---who can do without cleansing cream. Tho method of using it varies with the individual but tho necessity or t does not.
 For instance, if yours is an oily skin, use cleansing cream before you wash with soap and water. If you come in the dry skin category, use soap and water first and then the cream. In any event, invasti. gation of s0mo of the new. types Of cleansing cream Is advisable.
 This month, 2 new typo of cleansing cream has made It's ID. Denrance on the market. 1t is din- tlnctly different from the old types of cold creams and, as n matter of fact, n decided Improvement on many Of tho modern varieties. While being manufactured, its whipped to tho consistency Of R aOufflo and, when applied to the skin, immediately meltB right into tho pOros. Then, when you wipe lt oif with cleansing tissues, every trace of dirt iB removed.

profuse sweating. 50 1t might just as well stop.
 Girls and women who are quite ignorant of elementary physiology often pay out good money and devote considerable time to taking various kinds of sweat baths In the childish belief that the body weight is reduced In this way. Fax. CTS in the beauty and reduction racket telpem 50, and fat women are pretty creduiOus creatures--- both pretty and credulous. Of course the only loss of weight achieved by sweating is the weight of the salt and water poured out, and that. is made up again within 4S hours in any event.
 There is a world of difference between the active sweat you get up by exercise, work or play, and the passive sweat you exude to protect the body from excessive heating. Active sweating is Q good index of increased Inetabolisn1, more vigorous vitality, faster burTi' ing, better oxidation. Passive sweating has nothing to do with mctabolism or It's rate.

PARIS STYLES
By MARY KNIGHT

Paris - (UP)-You should sec Ina Claire tn her new MolyHeux evening ensemble! She Is one of those real sights for sore eyes you hear people talk about.
 Tho gown is of pale turquoise blue crinkly crepe, slinky and se- ductive. hugging the knees and caressing the floor! over 1t the deiectible blond casts nonchalantly q luxurious cape of pale turquoise ostrich feathers!
 With this outfit Miss Claire wears pearls and if she doesE't look like something dropped grace fully down out of heaven then we quit.
 A word about those ostrich feathers: at the top of the cape there is a band of tiny curled piumes and beneath this in lay- CTS about four inches wide the feathers are uncuried and with the slightest movement of the body they lift and fall as If alive and breathing. The cape is circular and comes to the bend of the knees in the back and rises about six inches higher in the front. If you ever want to look and feel like an angel. try this combination.

SUDDEN SUPPRESSION
 OP SWEATING

Because too quick cooling of the body or chilling after any strenu. ous play, work or exercise is likely to cause soreness, stiffness or lame. ness of the muscles, people lY- norant of physiology often imagine that it is dangerous to suppress sweating or to cool the body sud. denly In any circumstance. This cratic idea leads to a good deal Of harmful coddling, not to men. ton much discomfort. It makes these ignorant people wear exces. sive clothing, keep their living quarters overloaded, avoid proper ventilation and intiict unhyyienic restrictions on children who are at their mercy. to eliminate Or excrete any harm. full or poisonous subsance, but only to cool the body. The sweat in any case consists practically of nothing but salt ana water. 1 said pruc- ticaiiy and 1 mean practically. Chariatans and their dupcs to the contrary notwithsta anding.
 There is no objection whatever to suppresslng the sweating Tn q limited area, such as the arTiipits, # this is desirable in any circum- stance. :.

 The tendency to develop soreness In the muscles when tho body iA permitted to cool of or to become chilled too quickly after a stren- uous effort has already been ex- plained as q matter of circulation. 1t has nothing to do with the sweating. If one gets up profuse sweat from remaining for q time in A very warm place, or from any form of warm bath, or in any pas sive manncr, 1t is perfectly safe to suppress the sweating as suddenly or as quickly us one wishes. Re. member, such sweating Is merely m effort of tho body to cool off anyway; so if you choose to cool off by going right out in the cold following the sweat bath, well, there Is no further need for tho
