teaspoonful of any dry ingredient
or solid fat is always measured
as follows: Fill the spoon full.
If it is a dry ingredient, level
it of, then measure it length
wise of the spoon into halves,
scraping off the unused half. If
solid fat is being measured, first
pack it down into the spoon then
level it of and proceed as di-
rected.
For a fourth teaspoonful or
tablespoonful, first measure a
half, then divide it into quarters.

the mess jacket as the smart
and popular evening costume.
Now the shawl collar has
emerged into the daylight, but
in it's new version. it is notched.
Some people think that the
notched shawl will be good next
summer on evening jackets.
Right now it's the newest news
in mems suits.
The new collar is not really
a shawl. but rather a collar and
lapel that practically forms a
shawl. that gives the same
long effect. Some StyliStS call
it the fish-mouth notch lapel
because the notch is in the
shape of an open fish mouth.
The whole lapel is so very diff
ferent from the usual peaked or
notched lapelS. that it gives
the jacket of a suit a very diff
ferent and very new look. You
can more or less recognize it by
that description, though for
your benefit, we have it photo
graphed on this page today.
You'll find this new lapel on
suits Of q more or less business
type, made up Of hard-finished
worstedS such as practical Ameri-
can men like to wear. In fact
they like them so much that no
matter how much tweeds and
softer fabrics are worn in Eng
land and other fashion centerS,
Americans stick to their Yankee
worSteds.
The hard worstedS which are
particularly good this year are
the tick type patterns, such as
Sharkskins, nail heads, broken
herringboneS, broken stripes and
canvas weaves. There's color
and pattern to them all, yet they
are quiet for the most conserva-
tive man.

Planning the
Garden

The location Of the flower
garden depends upon the shape
and topography Of the lot, the
type Of house and its position
with relation to the property
lines, the location Of garage,
drives. walks and service areas
and that orientation Of the lot,
advises House Beautiful.
It is, of course, desirable to
have the garden on the south
or west of the house whenever
possible. That is not only true
because a southern exposure is
a better growing place for
plants but because since the
living rooms are more likely to
be on the south side an inti-
mate relationship between the
garden and house can be eStab-
lished.
The garden should be planned
so that it is near the house
and maintains as close relation
ship as is possible. This per-
mits the development Of an
intimate scheme, and allows
pleasing views into the garden
from within doors. A garden
designed with axial relation
ship to the house most easily
secures these advantages. An
axis is, Of course, an imaginary
line drawn through the center
of the scheme. Strong axial
relationship is achieved when
the main axis leads out from
some door or window of the
house and ties the garden back
to it,

"Get eight hours Of sleep
every night.
Keep your mind young; old
age Is all in the mind"
Not long ago I saw the Sen
ator dancing-I believe it was
in the Shoreham Ballroom -
and he certainly danced with
all the verve and alertnesS Of
a man of 30, and he claims he
feels no older than that.
The outstanding item in
Senator McAdoo's youth pre-.
scription is to have an object
or ambition in which you are
conSumingly interested.
AL the creaming, Steaming
and massage that the beauty
parlor is capable Of giving will
not keep you young if you have
q vacant mind-a mind that is
q rooSting place for distressing
emotions.
Who has not noticed women
who spend hours in beauty
parlors, and yet are never able
to defeat the ravageS of age?
On the other hand, who has
not wondered at the youthful
appearance of a woman of the
same age, who keeps her youth
without any extensive aid of
beautifiers because she is keenly
interested in what she is doing?
If you haven't an object in
life, and your job boreS you,
take up something in which you
delight and without further de-
lay. You will find that nothing
rubs out the wrinkles, plumps
up the hollows, in an aging face,
like being "conSumingly inter
eSted," as Senator McAdoo has
confessed.

ent reveals the magic of having

Etiquette
Man WiHOpen
The Door
BEECKMAN

ByMRS.C S.CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
when a couple going out for
the evening arrive at their deS.
tinatiOn, should the young lady
wait until her escort comes
around and opens the door be-
fore alighting from the car, or
should she open it herself when
the car stops, and alight at the
same time as the man?
DOUBTFUL"
A well.bred man will appreci-
ate it if a woman will take it
for granted that he is to open
the door of a car and help her
to alight. She doesn't give him
time to show his gallantry and
politeness if she quickly opens
the door and steps out.
Women so often complain
about the too-casual or thought
less manners of men, but there
are many important details in
which it is often the women who
don't give the men q chance to
be polite. This question Of not
waiting for a man to open q
car door is one of these amen
tiles.
Opening any other type Of
door too is another example Of
thiS-a woman SO often doesn't
wait for a man to open the door,
goes ahead and opens it herself
before he can possibly get to it.
Giving her order to the waiter,
when she and a man are dining
together in a restaurant, is an
other example-She should wait
for her host to give both orders
to the waiter.

therapiSts. because the latter
believe that walking barefoot in
the dew, lying in cold streams
naked, exposing oneself ditto to
the suns rays, eating hay,
grain, oats and other uncooked
foods will cure about anything.
Does Two Things
Most of US, however, prefer
our food cooked. Cooking does
two things to food:
The first is esthetic-it devel.
ops new fIavors and improves
its appearance.
The second is hygienic-Steril.
ICES it to some extent, makes
it easier to keep longer.
Cooking undoubtedly in
creases the digestibility of vege-
tables. It probably also does
that of meats by loosening the
fibers.
The effect of cooking on the
vegetables and fruits is mainly
on the Starches. Dry heat con-
vertS starch into a soluble
form, ultimately to dextrin.
The most familiar example of
such a change is the crust of
bread or toast. Both are more
digestible than plain bread.
Moist heat causes grains to
swell, and, if continued, to rup-
ture their envelopes. The starch
is then said to be gelatinized.
The gelatinization point of
potatoes is a temperature of
149 degrees Fahrenheit, of wheat
176 degrees Fahrenheit and OF
oats 1875 degrees.
The principal effect of cook
ing on protein food is coagula.
ton. The most familiar in
stance of this is the change that
occurs to the white of egg when
cooked.
An Exception
The change is an improve.
ment from the standpoint of nu-
triton because, as has often
been proved, raw white Of egg
is the most difficult thing in the
world to digest, while cooked
egg white is easily digested.
Boiled milk is much easier di-
gested than raw milk.
Fats are not changed chemi-
cally by cooking. The only ex-
ception is that at very high tenn
peratures they may be partially
decomposed into fatty acids.
The only bad thing cooking
does to food from the standpoint
of nutrition is that it destroys
some of the vitamins.

the most worry, I think, are
the loose, dry wrinkles around
the eyes and the neck. The skin
under the eyes especially is a
kind Of barometer Of our gen.
eral condition. 1t seems to re-
fleet our state Of health. as
we know anyone suffering from
fatigue or eyestrain win have
sallow, dry skin under the eyes.
This fatigue can often be
traced to a restless sleep. This
may result from an uncomfort-
able bed or q sleeping room
in which there is too much
light from street lamps.
We cannot draw the shades
all the way when we have the
window open. but We can
shade the eyes with a black

for this. Do not try to econo-
mize by selecting 8 mattress
that will not give you complete

When you feel tense nerV'
business that keeps you from
going to sleep you will lind
that this can be relieved by
few moments stretching OF the
muscles. Just stand up and
bend from the waist and touch
the toes five or six times.
Then for your shoulders and
back-clench your fists and hold
them chest high in front OF you'
Jerk the elbows back vigorously
as if you were trying to make
them meet behind your BACK.
Do this at least 10 times.
Rotate the Head
Next YOU will rotate the head.
Let it drop forward on the chest
while you stretch the back
muscles as tenSely as possible.
Do the same to the sides, then
drop your head to the back and
stretch the neck as far as it will

The stretching, remember, Is
the only thing that makes these
exercises of benefit to you, so
always stretch as much as you
possibly can in all exercises.
Stand straight for your next
movement, and with the knees
tense and stretched, lift the
right leg to the back, then to
the left-just as high as you can.
Do each five times: then five
times on each side and five
times each to the front.
Your last exercise will be to
stretch to the finger tips and to
the toes. You can do this by
sitting on a straight chair;
stretch both arms out in front
of you and with clenched fists,
pull with all your strength. Then
raise the right arm straight up
over the head and place the left
down and pull vigorously. Do
each of these five or six times.
That is all except to stand up
and breathe deeply 10 times.
These exercises will cause the
tense muscles to relax and are q
splendid means of curing in
Somnia.
Before you go to bed cover the
face with a light application of

QUESTIONS FROM READERS

QUESTIONS FROM READERS
D.: "WOuId the use of acetphe-
nitidin to relieve pain, taken
daily over a period Of six
months, be harmful? Is it habit
forming?
Answer: Acetphenitidin is
phenacetin. Like acetanilid, to
which it is related chemically,
it may be depresSant in large
doses taken over a long period
of time. But this action is
much less likely than in the
case of acetanilid, because the
decomposition products such as
para-amino- -phenol, which cause
the effects are formed far more
slowly than in the case Of ace
tanilid. 1t is not truly habit
forming.
READER: "WiM you discuss
bow legs due to excessive
weight? The baby is Is months
old and weighs 271s pounds.

Answer: It is true that the
baby is slightly overweight; 81

normal at this age. However,
a certain amount of bowing is

years. 1t is hard to tell how
