 Building sets, motion picture pro- jectors and play limitations of every adult activity from weaving to lead casting are designed to delight chil- dren and to make their minds work in loving direction while they are having fun.

.BEAUTYs----- Gloriying Yourself
 Bv Alicia Hart
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer

Letters from readers prove that every beauty-minded wo- man has figured out at least one routine that she does at home and which answers some important individual beauty problem.
 My finger nails used to split, peel and break and look pretty terrible most of the time" writes New York woman. T started soaking them in olive oii for ten minutes three times a week, and, within two months, they were healthy and attractive. To make sure that they'll stay nice, I have continued to treat them with warm oil about once every ten dyas. It works"
 For some strange reason, I d.sliked plain vinegar or lemon rinses," writes another. Nov, after have washed my hair, rinsed, washed again and rinsed twice with plain water, I put half a cup of vinegar in two quarts of warm water, add the juice of one fresh lemon, rinse carefully with this solution, then again with plain water. My hair is easier to comb after the shampoo and 1t seems to stay softer and prettier for a longer length of time"
 Still another girl wrote to tell me that she is one who doesn't care whether lipstick stays on for hours or not. She doesn't mind putting on a fresh coat every hour or so. Furthermore, her lips are rather dry, so she applies a thin coat of cream before smoothing on lipstick. Naturally, the color doesn't stay very long. but her lips remain moist. The arrange ment satisfactorily solves her problem, anyway.

 Pets always make lovely pres ents. If your household already small turtles, 6 horned toad, rab- bits, guinea pigs. birds, tropical fish or plain goldfish will make your youngsters happy on Christmas morning. A special brush, towel and soap set to use when he gives Towser a weekly bath will make your dog-loving child happy. Cat nip balls and a brand new beribbon- ed basket are a fine idea for sister who loves her cat.

 Medical Association, and of
 Hygeia, the Health Magazine
 One of the earliest American dietetic fads was the system known as Fletcherization. It was developed by Horace Fletcher early in the 18th century.
 Fletcher believed that the way to secure health from food was to chew the food until it developed into a liquid consistency. To bring this about, an actual ritual of chewing was developed, and whole families could be seen seated at breakfast in the morning carefully counting each movement of the jaws to make certain that the number agreed with what Fletcher thought was correct.
 Obviously, there was no scientific basis for any such performance and Fletcherization soon passed into the limbo of forgotten dietetic fal- lacieS.
 About the same time, vegetarian ism began to develop as a cult, al- though of course from the very earliest times there had been many human beings who had insisted that the eating of flesh was harm ful and that human beings ought to abstain from meat.
 It is interesting to recall that practically every religious belief has associated with it certain notions relating to the eating of food. Thus one religion will avoid meat on cer- tain days of the week, another will avoid entirely the meat of pigs, and the Hindus will abstain from the meat of the Sacred Cow.
 Such avoidance of meat, of course, is entirely without Scien- tific foundation. The human stom- ach knows nothing of religion, or belief, and will try to digest any food that is put into it any time that the food comes down.
 Sometimes the adoption of vege- tarianism is simply desir> on the part of the person concerned to be different from everybody else, and in that way to acquire a feeling of superiority. On the other hand, there are those who attack the eat- ing of meat because they claim it is full of germs, that it is not prop erly cleaned, and that it is danger ous to health. They say the end result of its digestion is 8 lot of poisonous products.
 
 Actually meat nowadays is care- fully inspected by government au- thorities. It is thoroughly cooked before use, thus destroying danger ous germs in the vast majority of cases. and when digested yields pro- ducts which are for the most part l useful in the human body.
 Moreover, 1t has been found that

 If the handsome toys now being arranged on the nations counters are any criterion, children these days are being encouraged to take anactive interest in science, litera- ture, art and industry. Not that Juniors play hours are made dull. Far from it. If anything, toys of iron and wood and steel are even more pretentious and fascinating than ever.

Meat As Food
ToDAY's HEALTH QUESTION

Q.-Is there any drug or con- bination of drugs which, taken by mouth, would decrease the appetite without harming the health?
 A.-Probably not. The appe- tite, however, may be decreased by taking a small amount of sweet food before eating, by chewing gum, by smoking a cig- aret, or in any other way dim finishing the sense of hunger.
