-BEAUTY- GlorUing Yourself

 'They say 8 woman is as old as she looks, but I have a theory that she is only as old as her back mus cleS," declares Donald Loomis, trainer of Hollywood stars.
 "Allow the back to grow stiff and the body is no longer f1ex- ible," he continued. "The minute muscles become tense and stiff a woman starts to show her age"
 MT. Loomis advises all women to stretch their way to health and therefore to beauty. He thinks it an excellent idea to bend back wards and forwards from the waistline several times day. As soon as one of his own glamorous pupils can touch the floor with her hands, meanwhile keeping knees stiff, he directs her to stand on a thick book and try to touch the floor from this elevated posi- ton. He adds that bending exer- cises should be done each and every day, and warns against hit -or-miss exercises of any type.
 "Flexibility improves circula- ton and digestion, two important factors of beauty. It keeps the flesh tight and firm-looking, and decreases nervous tension and strain"
 You know, of course, how ner- vous and uncomfortable you feel when your back and neck muscles are tense. Very well, then, the next time you can't sleep, concen- trate or sit quitely, get up and stretch your spinal column and waistline muscles.
 Stand with legs wide apart hands held high above your head and, keeping knees stiff, bend tc touch your left toes with your right hand, go back to the original position, then reverse making Jeff hand touch right foot. Repeat twenty times.
 Let your head fall forward on your chest and, keeping each mus cle quiet and relaxed, turn youl head slowly to the left as far as it will go, then to the right. Let it fall backward, open your mouth and, as you raise your head, close your mouth slowly. Repeat Sev- eral times.

, day drafts, wet feet, temporary chilling or prolonged exposure to cold.
 Finally this amazing medical au- thority winds up the argument with the statement that "The maximum frequency of colds is in the spring and autumn and not in the cold est months" Reason out for your self how come. If you can't recon- cile this fact with the grand old medical tradition, ask almost any senior practitioner and he'll make it as clear as mud to you.
 Why, even Dr. Osler, thirty years ago, said, in the Doctors Bible: 'The frequent occurrence of an initial chill has been one reason for the widespread belief that cold as an important etiological factor" of pneumonia. The old timers scarcely understood that the chill of onset is symptom of pneumonia. not a cause or an "etiological factor" but when a medical writer today in- dulges in ambiguous alluSions to the chill, he is merely worshtpping tra- dition.
 Enlarged Veins
 have greatly enlarged veins all down my legs. Sometimes they seem to make my legs ache when l have been long on my feet, but mainly I want to get rid of them because they are so unsightly. (H. M). Answer-Send three -cent-stamped envelope bearing your correct ad- dress, for monograph on varic0se veins and varic0se ulcer. The best way to get rid of them is by chem ical Obliteration, which any good doctor can do. Even minute dilated venules which are objectionable only for unsightliness, may be Ob- liberated in this way.
 Children Must Sleep
 How much sleep does child of F years of age require? q. H. K). AnSwer-Eleven hours, more or less, according to season of year and child's physical activity. The more physical activity the more sleep.
 Iodized Salt
 Please give your opinion of the practice of using iodized salt in place of plain salt in the home. (Mrs. R. T. O..
 Answer-We prefer 1t in our home. I believe it helps to prevent simple goitre and many undesirable manifestations of thyroid .insufh- ciency. believe there is no ground for the hypothetical objections raised against the universal use of iodized salt as . staple to take the place of ordinary salt.

 Decorations Dazzling.
 All stores were decorated with everything from ten-foot trees of white to tissue streamers that had already faded from red to orange. Street lights, in the early dusk were red and green and blue in- stead of white. Some wore stars of Bethlehem, others wreaths of green. Christmas trees stood in holes in the cement pavement. The trees ran for miles, it seemed to Marcus Houses on the way from the street car stood forth from their neighbors boasting polychrome illuminations He liked this best of all, particularly the trees with all blue lights. Or all red ones.

 Repetition Tiresome.
 Hadn't he already said to a hun dred people that he wanted a train and 8 sled and wheelbarrow? All the Santa Clauses knew it any way Besides, now that he had ridden in everything and played with every thing, he wasn't sure what he want ed.
 One night as he went to bed he heard his mother say to Aunt Elm ma. "Well, I'm through Christmas cards and everything. Not another thing to be done."
 And as Marcus sank into slum- Der he murmured, I'm glad Christ mas is over, rnom. But the store man ought to send my train. You told him to send it 8 long time ago."

Teeth and Health

 Society
PREPARING FOR SOUND TEETH

PREPARING FOR SOUND TEETH
 Most expectant mothers are aware of their responsibility for the health of their offspring for physi- clans are constantly StreSsing the importance of proper food and at- tention to health.
 Recently the occasion arose to witness the results a mother obtain ed by putting these practices into use. The case was more interesting because she was able to observe and compare the results of these meas ureS with those obtained when her first children were born.
 She relates that before the older children, now ten and eight years of age respectively, were born, she knew nothing of the importance of including such foods as milk, fruits vegetables and vitamins in her diet She ate carelesSly of sweets and deS- serts and fried foods with the re- suit that the two older children have exceedingly poro teeth. In fact, the oldest child has already lost two of his permanent teeth.
 However, when Charles, the youngest, was expected. she was ad- vised by her physician and dentist of the necessary dietetic and health measures to help rear a healthy child. The baby teeth of Charles did not show single cavity, where as the older children lost several of their baby teeth long before they should have been lost. In fact, both of the older children had had sev- eral abscessed baby teeth. The per- manent teeth likewise showed a marked difference. Chrales, now six, has a perfect set of teeth.
 This case is interesting because it suhstantiates reports coming from such institutions as the Forsyth Dental Infirmary of Boston, Massa- chusetts. There they have conduct ed experiments with a fairly large number of women, finding that in- variahl, where the future mothers improved their diet. the teeth of their children wefe markedly im- proved.

GRAND OLD MEDICAL
 TRADITION

A medical textbook which has gone through many editions and enjoyed wide popularity among physicians is Bells Pathology.
 In the 1880 edition of this work (there was an edition issued last year, I believe) appears the follow ing quaint bit of medical hocus- pocuS:
 Colds. Many colds are comuni-
 cable diseases that develop
 merely from contact with an in-
 fected person; but others or-
 iginate following exposure to
 cold. A sudden cooling of the
 body such as occurs if one sits
 in draft to cool, causes anemia
 of the mucous membranes of
 the respiratory tract and sub-
 sequent inflammation That's the grand old medical tra- dition-for which neither Dr. Bell nor any other medical authority can cite any scientific evidence or even any convincing clinical evil dence. It is fairly well established by scientific observation that kind of blanching of the lining of the nose occurs as reflex response to sudden cooling of the surface of the body, by draft, cold water or other wise. But the subsequent infiam- nation" which this distinguished author so nonchalantly contributes to the theory is wholly hypothetical and all the dignified old gentlemen who devote their leisure to writing medical books cannot put the idea over by merely making such bald assertions. That era of medicine is past. Unfortunate that it endured so long.
 In the conventional manner med- ical textbook author Bell proceeds with his funny etiology:
 Severe chilling of the body low
 CTS the resistance to infection,
 and often seems to be the direct
 cause of pneumonia
 Here again the eminent authority is all wet. He would make pathetic figure if he should perpetrate any, thing like that on the witness stand and the opposing attorney knew his algebra, Apart from the well estab- lished and demonstrable state of immunity, which essentially involves infection as 8 premise, no one has scientifically proved or even ob- tained evidence Of any weight to support the traditional fancy that cold in any way affects ones sus- ceptibility to disease-and I mean cold in precisely the sense that Dr.. Bell implies. That is, ordinary every

MULTIPLICITY OF. SANTAS IS CONFUSING TO YOUNG CHILD. mp nV I'VE 4RnREDTC RADTnN


 Little Marcus was in haze. He had been shopping with his mama for 8 couple of weeks. Invariably he was dragged to the toy depart ments and had already shaken the hands of four Santa Clauses. He had ridden on every sort of tricycle. and wagon. He had been on merry-go-rounds and miniature automobile trucks. Wound up en- zines and built blocks. Footed horns and pounded drums.
 He had also stood under counters a foot above his head and patiently waited while mama decided what color of yarn she needed to put the edging on Aunt Jane's scarf; or selected gentlemen's ties or ladies purses. Stood in elevators with grown-up knees pumping his chin, and been tramped under foot in ladies' rest rooms.
 On the street he saw rather shabby old Clauses ringing bells Sometimes they had little kettles

Today's Health Question

Q.-How manyy years of ad- Iditional life have been gained flor human beings by the de- |velopment of modern medical Iscience?
 A.-No accurate records are available regarding the life of d Iman before the 18th century. It lis said that the average length |of life in Europe during that lcentury was about 19 years, and that it has moved up century by century to 25 years, 32 years, l4O years, and now 60 years. The Irate of increase was gradual un- Itil near the end of the 18th lcentury.

The Truth About Dief
Simple Facts Mingled With Wrong Ideas To Make
 Diet System"
By DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN Editor, Journal oS the American Medical Association, and of
 Hygeia, the Health Magazine

One system" of diet that has been widely advertised Is named for a Doctor Hay who was gradu- ated in 1891 from 8 New York col. lege. He has been associated at various times with sanatoriums in which most of the emphasis is placed on diet.
 Finally, he wrote a book called Health Via Food" which is mostly transformation concerning what food will actually do in the human body. In this book the author talks great deal about acidoSis and de- ficient drainage.
 This system really consists of a few simple pieces of advice about diet. One is that you eat sparingly and only when you are hungry; two, that you eat foods that are nourishing; and three, that you avoid eating at the same time two foods which cannot easily be di- gested together.
 Every one will agree that it is inadvisable to overeat, and every one will also agree that 1t is well to eat foods that are nourishing.
 That part of the system which says that proteins and carbony- drates and scratches cannot be suc- cessfully digested when taken at the same time, and that eating them together results in acidosis and all sorts of resulting disease is as I have already explained in this searies of articles, absolutely without any scientific foundation.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-12-11

To prove that there was no foun- dation for these ideas, Dr. Martin A. Rehfuss of Philadelphia tested the diets on 200 normal men. He also tried them on great many sick people. Some were fed mashed potatoes and chopped beef together, as foods which represented con- centrated starches and proteins.
 Doctor Rehfuss discovered that 1t took only three minutes longer for the sick people to digest the beef and potatoes together, than 1t did to digest the beef itself.
 This system of diets also leans strongly on mixtures of salads of vegetables prepared according to fancy formulas, such as Fountain of Youth Salad" '.Pale Moon Cock tail" Easter Bunny Salad" "Startled Chicken" and Parcel Post Asparagus" There ere all sorts of directions for torturing carrots into funny shapes.
 These diets, of course, are reia- lively harmless, except that 1t IS a nuisance to eat them. The worst difficulty Is that the person who is sick will try to cure himself by us- ing only these diets, without find- ing out what is really wrong.

That, anyway, is the opinion of Charlotte Mochrie, head of the pre- primary department of Collegiate school and former toy adviser for 8 large department store.
 It's his health rather than. his mental development that the edu- cators worry about in selecting toys for baby's frs two years. The point is that adoring grandmas and aunt ies, yes, and even parents, see cute bright colored playthings in the stores and go on buying jags. The net result is that baby rarely gets a toy on Christmas morning that is really suitable to his age, experience and previous condition of helpless ness.
 Rattles Must Be Safe
 If he's very new baby and still addicted to rattles, see that he gets his in one piece, warns Miss Mochrie. For if the handle comes off when mother isn't by and those balls that make the noise fall out into boby's hand Cor mouth), Christmas will be ruined.
 Every baby loves 8 soft animal to hug and the shops show them of every size and kind = bears, bunnies, pigs, cats, dogs, chickens, horses and donkeys. Be sure, how ever, that they are really soft with no wire supporting framework that can hurt. the child. In fact, the newest and best animals, both fur and rag, are washable with stitched, net button, eyes, and can be rinsed out and dried on the radiator over- night.
 The bigger the animals the bet ter, Miss Mochrie declares. Small children are not trained to CO., ordination and can haidle big ob- jects better than small ones. Soft
