are considering the entire house, or
Just an additional new piece here
and there, be sure TO see the pie
crust tables, "block' front chests,
secretaries, sideboards, corner cup

find, have less inlay than the
English Georgian, but more cary

Just after the American Revolu-
ton, there was, of course, a ma
tural -action against things
British. so that American furniture
designers of that time turned TO
the French Empire for inspiration.
The outstanding American furnl-
ture designer Of that period, whose
work has come down to us in all
its simple elegance and beauty was
Duncan Phyfe. His earlier work
was characterized by elegance and
taste. Unfortunately, he let the
French Empire influence his de-
signs too much, and as a result,
these lacked the purity of line and
fine proportions of Slis earlier
pieces. When you look at Duncan
Phyfe furniture, notice that some
of the pieces are quite low, of un-
usual grace of proportion, and
pleasing curves.

Ed WYNN ON
RADIO AGAIN

Ed Wynn, the "Firechief," Ameri-
cas- beloved comedian is back on
the air again to bring to his count
less listeners throughout the coun-
try the latest in jokes and comedy
to brighten and cheer a half hour
every Tuesday evening.
In his inimitable way Wynn tells
of his experiences with his famous
horse and his operas are master
pieces both of humor and ingenuity
But. WYNN brings In his own way
TO his many listeners another story
and that is the high quality OF
TeXaco Gasoline company's products
under whose auspices his weekly
program is broadcast on the air.
Intimately woven in with Wynn's
jokes and stories is another story
which tells of Texaco's products in
a way that is not easily forgotten.
Texaco "Firechief' gasoline is ap-
proved by the United States gov
ernment. 1t meets and suapaSSeS
the most rigid tests required for
high class motor fuel, standards
which are determined by the gov
ernment under the strictest super
vision. And yet. this superior fuel
which is of such high quality does
not cost the motorist any more than
he would pay for the other makes
of gasoline now on the market.
While listening to Ed Wynn and
his mad fun he asks you to stop in
st your neighborhood TeXaco dealer
and prove for your own Satisfac
tion that all the claims made for
the Firechief gasoline by the Texaco
are borne out under con-
ditions of your own making.

Yes, I know d sweat bath will

readers recently about a man who
reduced 20 pounds In sweat

That is all anybody ever loses by

up in 80 hours, more or less, by
the intake of salt and water. So

EAT FRUITS FOR HEALTH
They Stimulate Digestive Juices
When Used in Cocktails and
Mixed Salads
BY SISTER MARY
NEA Service STAFF Writer

Although fresh fruits and vege-
many of US, when we look at the
question from all angles we must
decide that what we spend for
fruits and vegetables we save in
pills and tonics. II we eat our
prunes and lemons and spinach and
carrots day after day with our
meats and pastries we may fore
stall the time when our family
doctor or specialist orders mo
meats or sweets" over a period OF
months.
The deliciousness OF most fruits
seems to put them In the class of
luxuries, but they have much
more important mission than that
of merely increasing the delight of
eating. Due to the nutritional
value Of their mineral and vita
min content, the frequent use of
fruit is one of the most agreeable
menas of regulating the functions
of the body.
Iron Easily absorbed
The iron in fruits and vegetables
Is easily absorbed and made avail
able for nutrition. So while the
number of grams Of iron in these
foods may not be as large as In
some others, they actually furnish
a larger proportion OF iron to the
body than is generally supposed.
Some years ago the theory that
such fruits as oranges and grape
fruit and other so-called "acid"
fruits aggravated any rheumatic
condition was widespread. How
ever, we now believe that these
fruits have an alkaline rather than
an acid reaction in the blood and
hence are an excellent food for the
rheumatic sufferer.
In any diet composed of much
meat it Is particularly essential TO
include fruit and vegetables. Veg
etables add the necessary bulk as
well as mineral salts and vitamins
while the fruit counteracts the
formation of acids due to eating a
large quantity of protein.
An Aid to Digestion
Any meal Is made more inter-
esting and nutritious by the judi
cious use of fruit. As a cocktail
the appetite IL stimulated and the
flow of digestive juices increased.
Fruit served as salad with a
plain French dressing provides
contrast In favors between, the
main course and the sweet course.
As a final course fruit is valuable
since its tartness stimulates the
fiow Of an alkaline saliva which
aids in the prevention OF tooth
decay.
Further Investigations have re-
vealed that certain fruits may in
crease the utilization of lime In
others sources swallowed with the
fruit.
It Is well to remember, however.
that valuable and necessary as
fruits and vegetables are, the diet
Is not properly balanced and ade-
quate without the proper amounts
of meats and cereals and milk.

RpYOUR
CHILDREN
81 OlMa Robarts Rartnn :


There is such O thing as setting
too high q standard for a child.
When human nature has its way
and he constantly falls short OF
Perfection, nothing will breed in
him q sense Of inferi0rity more
quickly.
we lay down q long order for
our children. They must be hon.
. est, truthful, neat, clean, studious,
| quiet, gentle, polite, generous, en-
efgetic, helpful, kind, brave and
patient.
This IL q decalogue plus. Can
We and do we always live up to 1t
ourselves? No. And with our years
uk experience and control we are
IN better condition to cd so, or at
least we should be, than they are.
Mistakes Are Inevitable.
Childhood is happy-go-lucky and
irresponsible. It is the time for
learning everything including the
virtues. A student of anything
whether It be painting. wood finish
1ng, golf, or like, has to begin at
scratch and make mistakes as he
goes.
In no other craft do we expect
perfection, but we do expect 1t of
8A4AuEGu ACdEIilHB L1LC ACDBoIO Va
character day by day.
II il all right to have a stand
ard and to work toward 1t. This
10 what all standards are for, but
AZ in the striving mistakes are
made 1t is not quite fair or wise for
the mentor to criticize too sharply.
It Is very discouraging. True,
few stount solus work better under
the knout, but most people and
most children are sensitive and
fail.
Once self-confidence is lost, all
il lost. But more bitter still in the
heart of a child Is the feeling that
others are disappointed in him.
z Not only that, but another sting
lies In thfs-he may be averaging
80 ped cent of all the good"
things we have decided he must
be. But usually he gets little credit
for IL. The things he seems to be
judged by are the other fifth that
he fails in.
IL he Is scolded or punished or
ridiculed for this 20 per cent, in
his bitterness and humiliation, he
may decide that the rest does not
matter. He's told that he is no
good. He believes 1t and stops try
ing.
Develops Inferiority Complex.
The worst of almost any system
of unfair discipline and punishment
IL that the child believes he Is
worse than he is. Not all children,
for O. few do survive, and either by
fear or sheer will power, turn the
reprimand to account. But the OPP
pOsite Is too often the case.
We must be trainers, of course.
All parents find themselves in this
position whether they like it or
not, and training takes firmness
as well as kindness. But 1t also
takes tact and judgment Of infinite
depth and soundness. If we notice
that our body or girl Is discouraged
we might do well to ask ourselves
IL we are not expecting too much.
And give him the credit he de-
serves.
Sometimes I wonder. II weighed
by the same scales, how many par
ent8 would find themselves on the
high end. Often father or moth
ers have a long way to go before
attaining anything like the stand
ard they set up for their own chill
dPen.
