Whether a bubble bath is
more of a delight or a benefit
is hard to say-it is so very
much of both. Nothing could
be much more pleasant to take,
or make you feel better, and
the healthful angles are i'm
portant too. Bubble baths, to
be more explicit, have just
been installed in Washington,
and will. be ready for you next
week. They have the same
therapeutic advantages as the
natural mineral waters of
Baden-Baden, W e b a d e n,
Karlsbad and other famous
spas. We understand that
several local doctors are just
waiting to send their arthritic
patients, and those with other
body ailments, to take them.
Taking the cure" comes to us
here in the form of a bath Of air
bubbles, or foam, the bubbles so
tiny that they cover you COM
pletely and entirely, and pile up
into a great snowy mound, as COM
pressed air circulateS through the
medicated water. The bubbles,
breaking at the rate of 100000 per
second against the body, act as a
gentle vibration over the fine
nerve endings of the entire circu-
1atory system. This, in turn, pro-
duceS a deep reflex action on the
sympathetic nervous system and,
6econdarily, in the whole Of the
psychological functioning of the
body. The bath helps to remove
certain acid radicals, chiefly car
bon dioxide, which is eliminated
from the skin as well as the lungs.
and this acts to normalize the
balance between acidity and al
kalinity.
You relax thoroughly in this
bath and then take a nap after
emerging from your foamy
blanket. The high rate of perspira-
ton induced by the bath continues
during your nap. An invigorating
massage completes the treatment.
The bath is not extremely hot, and
90 is heartsaving, and has many
advantages over other forms Of
sweat baths. Having had one, /
can vouch for stimulating and de-
lightful effects for two or three
days after the bath.

just part of your ensemble and
there is no reason why one should

women use foot makeup now, but
if you feel self-conscious about it,
then leave it off and just polish
your nails with your buffer and

Dear MISS taTIaX:

1 went to school. They're dyed-in-

Plymouth Rock, and all that. And
the girl is in love with me, so we
got engaged. Her papa did a war
dance and her mother took to
tears.
you'd think I was q savage
with a nOSe-ring and club, the way
they carried on. 1 have been told
never to 'darken their DOORS
That was actually their expression,

Plymouth Rock.

BY all means, be open and

have nothing against you but your
racial origin, a little new blood in

of the mysterious of our So-called

many outstanding citizens of this
country have begun on less.

So you cooks who want to defeat
the fade-out, let chemistry bring a
solution.
The green in the vegetables has
been given a special name and it

actions" In fact the whole prob
lem has been studied very carefully
in chemical laboratories where
hydrogen ions and acidity are
gagged to the nth degree.
"ChlOrOphyll''
And the main problem has cen
tered on the green pigment which
chemically is dubbed "chlorophyll."
1t is a very sensitive substance and
unless cooked in just the right sur
roundings, decomposes. The re-
suit is the loss of the green color.
The two things that speed up
this breakdown are heat and acid.
Surprising as it may seem, the
acid comes from the vegetable it.
self. So nutrition authorities have
cooked and recooked the vegetables
in different ways.
They find that there are some
ways to avoid this disaster.
First, green vegetables that are
cooked quickly retain their color.
Ten-minute cabbage and and six
minute spinach takes on a more
vivid hue. But leave the cabbage
on the stove for 30 minutes instead
Of the 10 and the results are shock
ing indeed.
Also shorten the cooking time
by dropping them in boiling sailed
water and cook in more water
than is absolutely necessary, spin
ach being the only exception.
The chemists have a reason for
this. It decreases the H-ion con-
centration. Cook on top Of the
stove in the flat container without
a lid and don't cook in the steamer
or pressure cooker. And, on the
top of the stove, don't try shorten

The incest sun-tan lipstick and
rouge discovered by this depart
ment up to date, is called Sun
roSe," and has the ability to blend
with your own coloring more beau
tifully than anything we've found.
It is a deep carnelian in color, but
when you get it on, it seems more
red, harmonizing perfectly with
the bronze tones of your skin.
You can buy it now, and it will
work with all your various skin
tones as you tan. If you're not the
bronzy type, but tan clear gold
en- tone without hint of red, then
you might like "Sungold" better.
Both come in either cream or
cake rouge, with lipstick matched
exactly. And you can get your own
powder tone to go with them.

Mingled good add evil aspects rule today, according toastrology The stars encourage inactivity and incline to serious thought.
 Discomfort and dissatisfaction may be widely felt under this in- fluence of Uranus Men and wo- men who look forward to the Aut- umn should plan carefully.
 Retrospection should be avoid ed, for the future and not for the past much be the first concern. Eventful months invite wise pro cedure in public and private affairs.
 The configuration favors persons in authority whether in the church. es or in the business marts. The trend is to be toward strong lead ership. A sense of dependence may be evident among Americans who will slowly regain confidence in themselves.
 The rule of the stars is favorable to religion, Again there will be a turning to ministers and priests for counsel and encouragement as war clouds menace the whole world.
 Writing is under a fortunate sway and letters of this date should bring satisfactory response. Love mis- sives, however, should be postponed
 While there is a sign read as lucky for those who deal in beverages of all sorts, bringing profits to many summer vendors, g, new movement toward prohibition will gain head way at this time.
 Clear mental vision may aid greatly in making decisions today whether they be financial or sen timental Suitors have reason to be anxious regarding love affairs.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of happiness and good fortune. Public honors will come to few.
 Children born on this date prob ably will be pleasure-loving and popular. Subjects of this sign us- ually gain through friendships and easily reach success.
