Beauty
Questions and
Answers
By DONNA GRACE

DEAR DONNA GRACE: How
many bananas and how much
skinned milk a day shall I take
with the banana and skinned
milk diet for reducing? Simone." !"
Dear Simone: 1 cannot give
you this information as have
not tried it, but I believe one is
supposed to regulate the amount
taken by the effect it has after
the first week.
The procedure is one week on
the strict diet and the following
three weeks on a very light diet
of mixed foods. 1 know q nurse
who restricted the amount to one
quart of SKINNED milk and three
bananas a day-and when she
finished the whole routine she
had lost 80 pounds.
1t would be advisable to con-
suit physician or go to a sani-
tarium. if one wishes to reduce
rapidly.
DEAR DONNA GRACE: am
interested in massaging my face
and I would like to know the
movements. Mrs. Eleanor B."
Dear Mrs. Eleanor B. The
facial massage movements are in
routine form and may be
learned by a little practice. It
is a mistake to do any rubbing
of this kind on the facial muscles,
however, until one is familiar
with the principle Of facialS.
The movements must be an up
stroke always, and done lightly.
The muscles of the face, we know,
are suspended from the bony
structure about the temples and
hang without much support. so
there is the danger of stretching
them with downward or heavy
strokes.
The palms Of the hands are
used to push back the tissues from
the sides of the nose to the tenn
pies. Circular movements are
done from the corners Of the
mouth upward but the whole
routine is too long to print in this
space.
You may have the complete set
free. Of charge, for your home
practice, also a reducing diet with
exercise, or a milk diet. Send a
stamped, self-addreSsed envelope
for each, and address Donna
Grace, Beauty Editor of this paper.

WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENT

"GDOAANN ANANOOANNGMAAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"I am to be married next
month, and as my parents are not
living would like to know how to
word my wedding announce
mentS? "F."
If you have close relatives liv-
ing, it is correct, if you wish, to
have your wedding announcement
sent in their name. For instance,
a grandmother and grandfather,
or either one. An uncle and aunt,
or either one. A married sister
and her husband. A married
brother and his wife. An older
unmarried sister, or unmarried
brother.
If this isn't possible, or if you
don't wish to do this, you and
your fiance may make your own
announcement:
Miss Althea Pratt
and
Mr.. George Gordon Smith

Health
HOarSeneSS Is
Symptom
BY LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D,

ny LOOAN CLENDENlNG, M. ID.
Hoarseness is a symptom that
means something.
At recent medical convention
I saw a moving picture Of the hu.
man vocal cords. This picture had
been prepared by a clever physi.
clan Of New Orleans. 1t must
have taken him a long time and
a great deal of care to do it.
He showed us how he placed the
patient, who had been anaesthe-
tized, so that metal retractor
kept the tongue and other tissues
from interfering with the vision
of the vocal cords, and how he
arranged the light SO that these
could be photographed in action,
1t was one Of the most remarkable
demonstrations I have ever seen.
Never Quiet
The vocal cords are never
quiet. Nor is any other part of
the human voice box. After the
breath has been let out, the vo-
cal cords come together in the
center. approximating and stick
ing together, as the breath is
taken in they begin to open at
the upper end as if you were
pulling apart two wet pieces Of
paper.
While this is going on, every
part of the larynx is in a sort
of quivering state Of tension or
else actively moving.
When the patient was going to
expectorate, you could see the
frothy globe of sputum down in
the windpipe slowly being moved
up toward the vocal cords. When
it reached there, the cords took
it as if they were a pair of
hands, moulded it into shape,
and proceeded to eject it. Every.
one in the audience coughed 81.
multaneously.
Every singer and actor and
orator should have an oppor.
tunity of seeing this remarkable
film. 1t is unfortunate that the
patient has to be anaesthetized,
because it would be interesting
to see the vocal cords making
various sounds used in speaking
or singing.
In Most Cases
Hoarseness is so easy to under.
stand after seeing the film, be.
cause the slightest irregularity
or swelling along the vocal cords
will cause it.
1t may be due to a simple acute
laryngitiS or inflammation of the
vocal cords which is usually called
a cold in the throat.
When hoarseneSS persists it is,
in most cases, due to a small
Wart or polyp somewhere on the
cords or in the 1arynx generally.

CAN'T TAKE A JOKE
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
my girl friend is funny; she
can't take a joke. The other
night I had one of those little
roses in my buttonhole, where
you squeeze a bulb and it SquirtS
water. I put cologne in the bulb
and thought she'd be delighted,
but she claimed it made spots
on her dress. and was furious
with me.
ALSO, when I joke and kid her
along, she never seems to enjoy
it like the rest of my friends.
Is she too serious, or are my
Jokes in bad taste, as my sister
has told me?
"DISGUSTED."
A difference of taste in regard
to jokes is q decided strain on
friendship. And 7 think almost
any girl would object to a shower
of cologne that spotted a gown.
Constant kidding" becomes a
bore, even when it's we'll done.

HIS TURN
sar Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"I have been great friends with
a boy for about two years. We
had sort Of an argument, and he
hasn't come to see me since. His
birthday is very soon. Should I
send him a card? "B."
Your friendship with this young
man seems fairly definitely "off, >
and if you send him a birthday
card, you will just as definitely in
dicate that you do not wish to
discontinue the friendship.
Under the circumstances I am
sure that you will agree with me
that it would be better form for
you to let him make the first
move toward reconciliation, if you
even wish to continue the friend

INTEREST IN SOIL EROSION
IN ASHE REACHES ALABAMA

From GAINESVILLE, Ala, comes this
letter telling of interest that far
away in soil erosion project in
Ashe county:
Dear Miss Reeves:-I noticed in a
recent copy Of your paper which my
father, E. C. Eller; Of Bina, sent me,
an article on soil erosion for Ashe
county.
AS l am always interested in the
upbuilding of Ashe county, I believe
this kind of work would be very bene-
fetal. We have a soil erosion camp
located near here and my husband is
one of the foreman. The work is fine
for thin land as terracing is used and
different kinds Of dams are used fe4
gullies. Grass seed of all kinds are
sowed after the work is finished.
Besides these helps, such a camp
is benefit locally. The merchants
can enlarge their sales and the farm.
ers can sell eggs, and both kinds Of
potatoes to the camp personel.
Respectfully,
Mrs. Fred Fields.

MAMA DIONNE NEAR
TEARS IN BABY HOSPITAL

Chicago-The sight of rows Of
newborn babes in hospital nursery
brought "Mama" Dionne to the verge
of tears.
Until now the outward stoicism of
this 26-year-old Canadian mother of
10 children, among them the famous
quintuplets, had provoked much COM
ment among those who have watched
her adventures in the city.
Visiting the Chicago lying-in hos
pital, one of the leading maternity
institutions here, she pressed her face
close to the glass partition separat-
ing spectators from the nursery. A
wave of emotion rippled the placid
like face, her unrouged lips quivered
and she turned toward her husband,
Olivia.
Mrs Dionne murmured few
words in French, her usual low voice
ending on fearful note.
The slim, dark-haired Ontario
farmer smiled back consolingly, con-
Germ manifest in his eyes.
"She misses her babies, poor girl"
explained Mrs. Joseph Rochon of
North Bay, Ont, a relative who is
travelling with the Diones. "In spite
of all the thrill of sightseeing she
is lonesome for her children"
