WINTER COMFORTS

Modernization Program In
cIudes Insulation and
Heating Plants.

With memories of last years old
fashioned cold weather In mind, q
Nationwide program of undermining
for Winter" is being pushed by prop
erty owners, members of the building
and allied industries, newspapers and
financial institutions cooperating un-
der the modernization credit plan Of
the Federal Housing Administration.
Better business conditions have
made it possible for property owners
to undertake improvements with a
loan obtained from q bank, building
and loan association, finance COM
pany or other financial institutions
insured by the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration. These loans are repaid
In equal monthly installments.
A generation ago, preparing for
Winter often consisted of banking
material from the barnyard against
the foundation Of the house. While
this may have been an efficient
method Of partially insulating" the
house, modern methods have taken
its place. Various types Of insulating
material are now on the market and
can be applied in existing structures
without much trouble.
Home owners who have invested In
properly installed insulation have been
gratified by their savings in fuel and
the enhanced comfort of their homes
in Winter and Summer. Insulation

Unc' Billy, Mrs. Possum and the
eight babies, but apparently some
thing had happened to them. They
had fallen over on their sides, ana
there they lay as each had fallen.
Lightfoot was so astonished he
gave vent to a sharp whistle. He was
so astonished that he really was star
tied. He stared around him at the
motionless forms and in not one did
he see sign of life. He couldn't
think what could possibly have hap
pened. He took two or three steps
until he was standing right over Unc'
Billy. Certainly Unc' Billy looked as
if there was not one spark Of life in
him.
Gould I have frightened them to
death?" Lightfoot asked himself.
I've heard of people being frightened
to death, but I've never believed it
could really happen. 1t looks as if it
had happened now"
He walked over to Mrs. Possum and
stared down at her. There was no
sign of life. One by one he inspected
the half-grown Possums. The result
in each case was the same. He had
wanted to scare the Possum family,
but he had had no desire to scare
them TO death, nor had he had any
idea that such thing could happen

market at the American Furniture
Mart Monday, November .. indica-
tions are that the tremendous at

cent markets at Chicago win continue
this Fall, according to mart officials.
THE principal factor affecting
market attendance Is. of course, the
volume of retail sales" Lawrence H.
Whiting, mart president, commented.
when retail merchants need mer-
chandise, they attend the markets.
Thus q large attendance of buyers

throughout the Summer and the Au-
gust sales this year were, on the
average, the most successful of the

WHO WANTS A TIP ABOUT
 THE GRIP?

The common characteristic which distinguishes the disease or diseases we call the grip, la grippe, the flu, influenza, is prostration, ex- haustion, early and inexplicable weakening. But unfortunately an- other characteristic, almost as com mon, and more striking in the mind of the sufferer, IS the excessive ach- ing the victim feels in nerves, mus cles, bones, and for which he de- sires quick relief.
 There are on the market scores of remedies which bring quick relief to the aches or pains of grip. Un- fortunately this is the one thing most "cold" and "grip" remedies do nothing else but. I say 1t is too bad for the health and safety of the sufferer with grip that such remedies are so freely available and are so insistently foisted on the public as harmless and even benefi- cial. I refer to the various coaltar derivatives, remedies containing acetanilide (phenylacetamid), phen- acetine (acetphenetidin), antipyrin, and similar pain-killers. These drugs benumb the sense of pain, fatigue, anxiety or worry. At the same time they depress the heart and destroy red blood corpuscles. The latter ef- fects are scarcely helpful when you are entering battle.
 Now don't enjoy ache or pain any more than any other gink. But if I get headache or pain in the back or limbs or @ general malaise and aching all over, prefer to try lying down in bed for while, per- haps with hot mustard foot bath or anyway heat in one form or an- other, to sec whether that will not bring relief without resorting to analgesic dope. And my heart is an A No. organ.
 If this is bit personal, remember I am giving my personal opinion. Some good doctors may not agree entirely with my views. If your doc- tor tells you differently, pay no at tention to me. Your doctor is prob- ably better doctor than or Doc Brady ever could have been any way.
 Now quinine is not 50 bad. l haven't the slightest idea why quinine should be given to @ person who is coming down with some thing "grippy", but 1t seems to hold its place in the treatment of the flu. From five to Is grains of quinine daily, is the usual dose, and 1t may be taken for four or five days. but should be stopped if any buzzing, ringing or feeling of fulness or dulness in the ears or deafness occurs. Likewise quinine should be stopped if any disturbance of vision

TOday's Health Question

Q.-Has the medical pro- fession discovered @ cause or cure for leukoderma? Is loss of pigment likely to continue after 35 years of age, or to begin again after 1t once has stopped?
 A.-The cause of leukoder- ma (abnormal white patches of skim is not known. The course of the disorder is ir- regular, and the loss of pig ment may continue indefin- itely. As a rule, however, after the condition has developed to a variable extent 1t becomes stationary, and further loss of pigmentation is not likely to occur. No satisfactory treat ment is available, although re- gently the disorder has been reported as cured by the in- lection of gold salts; and at- tempts have been made to re- store augmentation by appli- cation of a solution of oil of bergamot in alcohol, followed by ultraviolet rays. Experi- ence with these methods is as yet too limited to permit @ statement as to their proper value.

NEA Service staR writer

NEA Service Stan Writer Present day figure experts stress to make your body supple and to improve your digestion almost as much as routines to take of sur- plus weight. Tn effect, they tell us to bend and stretch our way not only to beauty, but also to health.
 You know, of course, that the more regularly and correctly your digestive organs function, the pret- tier your skin, hair and eyes are likely to be. When you get up in the morning brush your teeth, drink glass of hot water, then bend muscles.
 Sit on the floor with feet about twenty inches apart Illustrated in center). Keeping ankles in place and legs perfectly straight, lean fore ward from the waist, touching right toes with left hand. Go back to the original position, then touch left toes with right hand. Repeat sever- al times.
 Vow stand about three feet away from Q flat wall. Lean back ward Gas shown at righD lifting hands over head and placing palms upside down against the wall. Hold the position few seconds. Re- peat. When you have mastered this simple technique, slowly move your hands down the wall while you are bent backward. Do this ever 50 slowly. For the first few times better have someone stand near you to support your back in case your hands move downward too rapidly, causing you to lose your balance. Wear shoes or slippers with soles which won't slip.
 Another exercise, cumulative of one step in Russian ballet dancing, reduces the thighs at the same time 1t removes stiffness from legs and waitline. Simply squat down on your heels Gas at left) balancing yourself on your toes. Place hands on hips. Holding your body as straight as you can, extend the right leg straight outward. You make one little hop on the left foot as you force the right leg for- ward. Bring 1t back to position, by means of another short hop on the left foot. reverse. After . little practice, there's no reason why you van't do this rapidly.
 Don't forget to do the simplest of all bending exercises several times each morning. Holding knees stiff, just bend forward and touch the floor with your fingertips. This will slenderize your waistline and keep 1t supple.
 NEXT: Reducing hips.

 Cheese cake came from England along with bubble and squeak" and toad in the hole" and many other delightful connections, quaint ly named.
 Cheese cakes are varied -- Folk stone, apple, almond, lemon. The Folkstone variety has Q bread and milk fundation to which entrants, eggs and butter are added, making a mixture of custard-like consistency resembling Q cheese souffie. Almond, lemon and plain cheese cakes use cottage cheese for found- dation.

Your Children
Bv OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Children should be happy be- cause they have no responsibilities, Mrs. White answered the doctors question. The doctor had asked her why she thought Betty should be more cheerful.
 "she is as cross as two sticks, won't eat her meals and she IS getting so thin I had to come and sec you," Mrs. White said. And after the doctor had put Q few queries, ended up with, We do everything in the world for her. Fortunately we are rather well fix- cd and she has more advantages than most of the other children she plays with. Anyway, all chil- dren should be happy because they have no responsibility. It k natural for them to be happy"
 Could you tell me approxi- mately just what Betty does in a day2 We'll take tomorrow, Tues- day. What will she do all day? Put in everything"
 Too Many Advantages
 Tuesday" Mrs. White concen- trated. "Well, she will get up and take 0 bath and get dressed and go to school. Breakfast, of course, such as she eats. Then she comes home for lunch. She goes back and gets home ct Q quar- ter to four. No, on Tuesday she stops at Miss Worth's and gets a shampoo and wave. She loves curly haid and hers is so straight. She will be home by five. I hope she does, because told Mrs. Ter " she wouldn't be late for danc- ing class again. She has the chil- dren twice a week from five to six. She tried four o'clock, but

 "Does Betty ike dancing2"
 Pretty well, but she needs it.. She is 50 awkward. The only thing I have against 1t Is that 1t inter- feres with her practicing. She does lessons after dinner, but ! think 1t high time they cut out night work. It doesn't give the children time for aything else. She goes to bed at nine."
 How about Wednesday,"
 "Well, every Wednesday she has to have the band on her teeth looked after. And Dr. Brown is so far away. Then afterward I have Mrs. Price coming to take her measure for new dresses. Bets tvs 0 pretty lucky child, Dostor. buy her the best"
 "Thursday?"
 "Well, I don't know. It's An- nie's day out, but would like to take Betty and have her picture taken for her fathers birthday. Either that or Saturday. Saturday is about the only time I can get hold of Betty. Even then it's hard because she has another dancing lesson and her music lesson, too. And usually I have to talk her out of Q movie."
 "What Q pity Betty isn't Q poor little girl" said the doctor. "Ono who doesn't have to live up to ad. vantages--who just grows up like Topsy. She would be so much happier. What was 1t you said about responsibility?"
 "Children haven't any,"
 "One of us Is wrong then, be- cause don't agree. Ease some oS her burdens and she'll be . dif. ferent child"

is noticed. I don't believe I'd take quinine if thought I was coming down with grip. I'd prefer to try the simple treatment above men, toned, or If that were not possible then I'd have medical advice. But you lay blighters hate to pay Q doc- tor for advice if you can get 1t free, and any druggists devil or any idle bystander will give you all the free advice you want.
 The best tip I can give you is al- ready given. Either keep beyond the five-foot range of persons who insist on being about when they have alleged "cold" or "grip", or if you must come within range wear Q suitable mask or insist on the erie carrier wearing one--that is ten lay- CTS of gauge having g threads to the inch mesh, over nose and mouth.

 Answer-Thank you. Our readers may try 1t out and send in reports of their experience. Awkwardness about describing the position is avoided if you say prone. Lying on the back is supine.
