Splitting Fingernails.

Dear Miss Leeds-My fingernails
have always been beautiful. I never
use a nail white and always use a
high-grade nail polish. Recently my
nails have been peeling of at the tips
like the scales of fish. I have
stopped using polish and have soaked
them in olive oil and used many diff
ferent kinds of cream on them with
out success. My nails are not brit
tie and do not break. How can
stop the scaling off? PUZZLED.
Answer-You should consult a
doctor about your nails. There are
several skin diseases and other con-
ditions that cause splitting of the
fingernails. You must find and re-
move the cause. Keep up the local
treatments, too At bedtime soak
your nails in warm olive oil for 10
minutes, then massage them with
lanolin. Wipe of the cream and
coat the nails with heated white wax.
Leave it on until it cools. Do not
expect quick results. LOIS LEEDS.
Poor Complexion, Overweight.
Dear Miss Leeds-I am 81 years old
and weigh 140 pounds. Is this too
much? I have tried reducing diets
and am afraid to take reducing salts.
have a sallow complexion, oily skin,
enlarged pores and makeup simply
looks terrible on my face. I work
indoors from 7 until o'clock, so don't
have much time for exercise. I'll try
anything you suggest. WORRIED.
Answer-You forgot to give your
height. The average weight for girls
of 81 who are feet inches tall is
122 pounds. The first thing for you
to do if you really want to regain
your figure and have a clear skin
is to have a thorough physical ex-
animation by a doctor. He can tell
you whether your overweight is ><e
to some internal arrangement or just
to faulty diet and lack of exercise.
Do not take reducing drugs of any
kind unless your doctor orders them.
If your stoutness is caused by diet
and sedentary habits, send me a
stamped, self addressed envelope with
q request for my free leaflet, Safe
and Sane Reducing" This will tell
YOU how to control your weight.

Endurance

Child's Duty
Clearing Up Required
Only When Vigor
Is Maintained.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

THE rules demand that little child
pick up his toys and put them
in their places when he is through
with them. Order and responsibility,
two essentials in good character. make
this necessary. But-there is always
but" in this matter of child train
ing-one must be careful to see that
| the little one Is not too tired to do
| the job.
Children of tender age do not know
when they are tired. They play on
until they are so tired that they cry,
become cross and bad-mannered. They
are likely to kick and fling and yell
loudly in opposition to the gentlest
suggestion that they pick up their
toys now and get ready for tea.
When this happens the child is too
fatigued to do anything intelligently
or cheerfully. He cannot help him.
self because he has exhausted his
energy. It is a useless waste of time
and temper to deal with him in terms
of discipline at such a crisis The best
you can do is to gather up his toys,
replace them, then gather him up,
gently wipe his face with warm water
and soft wash rag, lay him on his
back on his bed and leave him to rest.
He may be too tired to settle down
to rest For time he may continue
to rebel and whine and cry. Keep as
still as possible and insist that he
remain quiet, alone. until he is in
control Of himself again, which will
be when he is recharged with energy.
After such a spell, feed him lightly.
Don't attempt to give a tired child
full meal. Give him milk and
cereal, or milk and toast, let him
rest again. not necessarily sleeping,
and then finish feeding him. Let the
experience make you wiser for the
next time. Budget the child's play
time, not too minutely, but within
reasonable limits. Stop him before
fatigue sets in and remember to give
him warning signal. I'm few min
utes now you will have to stop, so
get ready" Then see that he gets
ready.
Do not let him take out all the toys
in the closet. Limit him to two sets,
material he Is using. If one set Is
Swiss village, the second ought not
to be set of picture puzzles, or a
farmyard, or a Noak's Ark. A set of
many pieces, a little wagon and a
ball would present no great problem
for picking-up time, but village, a
set of tin soldiers, a Noah's Ark and
the ball and the wagon and a tin
kitchen outfit makes it impossible.
If he tires of one thing, he Is to re-
place 1t then and there before taking
the next. That will prevent trouble
at the end of playtime and teach the
child forethought, moderation, neat
ness and responsibility.
The children should have places for
their belongings. Showing them un-
der the couch, or huddling them in
corners, is not going to teach good
habits. Low shelves, low drawers that
open easily, little chests that can be
used for holding things, as tables, as
chairs, are just right for this pur-
pose. If each child owned one, home
life would be pleasanter for every
body.

BY EMILY POST.

"DEAR MRS. POST: I live in,
let's call it Neartown, and my
parents in Fartown, and I am going
to be married in New York. I would
like the engraved announcements to
show home address, which is that of
my parents, and do not wish to men
ton New York. Can you suggest any
way in which Fartown can be included
in the announcement without stating
that the marriage service took place
where it did not?"
Answer: I can only suggest that
you word the announcement in this
way:
''Mr and Mrs. Robert Blank
have the honor to announce
the marriage Of their daughter
Marion
to
Mr.. John Lee
on Saturday, the twentieth OF June
one thousand nine hundred and
thirty-five
Fartown, California"
BY omitting the word "at" before
Fartown in the last line (Which is the
ambiguous custom of today, anyway
you make the wording serve equally
well to indicate the place where you
were married, or as the place from
which the announcements were sent
out.
Dear Mrs Post: Our house is very
little and will hold only the imme-
diate families and barest few near
relatives and friends for the cere-
mony, and unfortunately our finances
make 1t impossible to give big re-
ception at hotel. My fiance's family
is urging my family to have the re-
ception at their house, which Is q
very big one. My future mother-in-
law has been so lovely to me, I would
not for the world do anything that
seems unappreciative, and it is very
hard to refuse to do what she has sug-
gested. But on the other hand. I
would rather have no reception at all
than to cast any reflection upon my
family by doing something belittling
to them. Do you think this would be?"
Answer: If you care very much
about what people might say about
your family's inability to fulfill the
obligations that conventionally belong
to them, then If were you would
have only very small wedding (you
can pack In about Is per cent more
people than you think you CAM and
then let your mother r-in-law give you
a big reception when you come back
from your wedding trip. Or you
yourselves can give big housewarm-

illogical If the child is fed rightly. If
he isn't. then why blame the child?
Children who eat sparingly at meals
should have not one bite to eat be-
tween meals.
To the parent it seems no doubt
that the child eats nothing, but were
she to total in calories the cookies,
crackers, bread and jelly, half ba-
mana, piece of candy, drinks Of milk,
which the child consumes off and on
during the day, the reason for the ap-
petitelessness at meals would be ap-
parent.
The ordinary reasons for this con-
dition can most often be corrected
easily if the mother will pay atten-
ton to what foods the child refuses
and endeavor to determine logical
reason for the refusal. And when
the child eats birdlike at meal, make
sure that the sharpness of his appe-
tite is not being dulled between meals.

DEAR MISS LEEDS-Please tell
Dm me how to wear my hair. have
an oval face and I would like
you to publish a picture of a coiffure
to make my face look more round
and not so large. I have a slightly
turned-up nose. My eyes are not
very large. My chin is too fat under
meath. (2) What is the cause and
cure for moles? READER.
Answer-Try coiffure like this:
There is a left-side part with bangs
all across the forehead. The hair
is smooth on top and sides, but the
ends of the side hair, which is cut
rather short, are fluffy and cover
the ears. Why not get rid of the
fat under your chin by exercise and
correct posture? CD The cause of
moles is unknown. The best way
to have them removed Is to intrust
the work to a doctor or specialist
in electrolysis recommended by him.

must have pectln. But Wnat Is II,
exactly?
Chemists say that "the formation
of jelly depends almost entirely on the
application of the laws of chemistry,
more especially the laws of physical
chemistry" They admit that thus
there is scientific consolation for you
If your jelly fails to jell properly-it's
not necessarily a failure because of
your possible stupidity! There may be
a good and sufficient chemical reason
that no cook could overcome.
WE are told by the chemists that
w pectin is a jelly forming sub
stance which develops in fruits as
they grow and ripen. In very green
fruits there is little pectin, but there
is substance that changes into pectin
with the maturing of the fruit. When
the fruit is exactly at prime ripeness
the pectin begins to disappear-chem-
ically it changes into another SUBJ
stance, and loses its jelly-making
power.
To make good jelly you must; there
fore, choose fruit that is just short of
perfect maturity, to get the most pee
tin. Because ripe fruit has most color
and flavor, to improve the looks and
taste of the jelly, you must use some
ripe fruit with the underripe.
Three basic things are necessary for
the making of jelly. These are pectin,
fruit acid and sugar. The best fruits
for jelly are well stocked with their
own acids and their own pectin, so
that all you need add is the sugar
This holds true of the tart apples,
crabapples, currantS, grapes, goose
berries, or the more acid type of
plums.

HOWEVER, there are some good
jelly fruits that lack acid. Some
of the berries, Concord grapes, sweet
plurns and ounces have plenty of pee
tin and fine flavor, but little acid. To
get the jelly from these fruits, you

such a marriage can only be a sue

Such reasons for appetitelessness. as
expressed by parents, are woefully
alike The frequent use of the phrase
won't eat" indicates only too plainly
that in their eyes the basis of the
appetitelessness is stubbornness.
When the child's reaction toward
such food is persistent, the form in
which the food is served may be
changed, or another food of similar
qualities substituted. There is little
use in throwing up ones hands and
reiterating-for the child's benefit
that she won't eat cereal, when this
valuable type of food can be served in
the form Of brown rice. wheat, barley,
