Latest Styles
GlOrUyng Yourself
By Alicia Hart

Afngernail that splits at the tip, shows ridges across the top and rough, ragged cuticle at the base generally indicates that your body lacks calcium or that the nail itself lacks oil. You ought to start putt ting olive oil or special manicure cream around fingertips every night before you go to bed and, unless your doctor advises otherwise, add one pint of milk to your daily diet.
 Many women think that constant use of liquid polish causes finger nails to break and split. About once every two or three months they omit lacquer for a week or ten days, buffing their nails instead. However I know several women who have used liquid polish every day for years and years without i'll effects. They are the ones who eat plenty of green salads and fresh vegetables, drink milk regularly and oil their nails at least three nights a week.
 You never should shape your nails with an extremely coarse, steel file. Use emery boards and file a little at a time so as not to over- heat the nails. Oily polish removers are best, of course. These do not evaporate and they do not remove natural oils from the cuticle.
 If liquid polish spills over on the sides of your nails, take 1t of irn- mediately with an orange stick that has been dipped in remover. Other wise, the cuticle will be unable to derive benefit from the post-mani- cure application of oil.

 Your ChiMNeM
By Olive Roberts Barton

Tn very hot weather 1t is almost useless to begin experimenting on discipline. At best, on scorching days, all any of us can do is to get through with routine work and try to keep as comfortable as possible. Tempers are at the exploding point and small matters are 1nagnifled beyond reason. So mothers would do well to save themselves and the family all the friction possible.
 It is often asked whether chil- dren feel the heat as much as their elders. They do in this way: our bodies are calculated to do their most normal work in an average temperate climate. So while some few may function better in ex- treme heat, 1t is not the rule. When weather goes above or below cer- tain mean normal (for us) we cannot make the quick adjustment without physical balance feeling the strain. We can and do make the shift remarkably well because we are the most adaptable machines in the laboratory of nature, but ex- tra heat or extra cold do things to our chemistry, nevertheless.
 Child Is Unaware of Nerves
 The nerves go first. And here comes in the difference between child and adult. The child will be unconsciously nervous, while we, filled with apprehension and emo- ton about the blast furnace, add to our ownu discomfort. Tn this way we do feel the heat more than chil- dren.
 Food plays an important part in keeping the children well and coI11- fortable. Digestion depends upon nerves and the summer stomach" is no fable. Not only this, but cer- tain foods generate more heat, that is, the sugars and carbohydrates. Unless the child is unusually active he can't use up an excess Of energy and-heat-producing foods. He needs some, yes, but not as much as in winter.
 This is the lush time of year when fruits and vegetables pro- vide for most of natures needs. This does not mean that we should eliminate all meat or all starches, but that the child who lives on meat, potatoes, gravy and cake will not be as cross as bear and pos- sibly i'll. Neither does 1t mean that ice-tea, sandwiches and raw fruit will keep him going. Food in sum- mer should be regular, with meats as usual, and not too much devia. ton from normal. The difference is that in extreme heat, the accent should be on thelighter foods rather than the heavy ones of winter.
 Care Supersedes Training
 Child care is more important than child training in any kind of extreme weather, not only for physical reasons but because no child is receptive when he is un- comfortable. It is hard to abide by this when misbehavior seems to expand with the mercury, and our own tenperaments are work ing overtime. Constant exaspera- ton leads to insistant scolding all too easily.
 Put over all the little lessons you can when it's around 30 de- grees. At Q hundred, almost any, thing you have to say will be used against you; and you will have an argument on your hands as well as tourn suit to mend or 8 lost wagon to hunt.

-THE TABLE-- Food
 Suggestions
By Mrs. Mary E. Dagus
BY MARY E. DAGUE

BY MARY E. DAGUE Corn-o -on- the- Cob with lots of but. ter is Q treat for all but the dieterS. Even they are likely to break over when it's brought to the table steaming, golden and oh, 50 fra- grant. tA
 don't blame theml
 Corn, despite the fact that it's not as rich in mineral salts and vita. mins as some of the other vegeta. bles, does supply bulk and carbohy. drates in abundance and some of the yellow varieties contribute some vitamin A. Anyway, the markets and gardens are full of vegetables that furnish mineral constituents and vitamins, 50 why not indulge in vegetable meals and enjoy the short season of corn-on.the-cob to our hearts content?
 Water Should Boil
 Tn order to serve orn-on-the- cob ct it's best, it's important to cook 1t properly. I think 1t Is the only mild favored vegetable that modern cooks advise cooking in boiling water to cover. The ten. derness, color and flavor all are harmed by steaming and waterless cooking. Drop the ears into c large kettle of actively boiling water, cover and boil rapidly for eight minutes AFTER boiling is renewed. Serve ct once.
 When you 90 to buy sweet corn, remember these points. Corn loses It's natural sweetness soon after gathering, so avoid witty, yellowed. looking husks, And don't buy corn that has been huslSed. The husk helps to preserve the flavor and pre- vents the kernels from becoming dry and hard.
 It's amazing how many varieties of sweet corn there are, and new varieties appear almost every year. Most of them are Q branch of the three stand-bys we've known and liked so long-the Evergreen, 0oid- en Bantam and Country Gentleman. The Evergreen varieties are large, with deep white kernels, and have a long season, remaining sweet and tender until almost ripe. The Ban- tam corn is yellow with wide shal- low kernels. very juicy and tender and sweet. The ears of the original Bantam are quite short, but Q large CT strain has been developed within the last few years. Even 30, this var. iety is smaller-eared than the Ever greens.
 The Country Gentleman is late variety with small ears and deep white kernels. bf Cook Tt I'm Cream Probably most of us prefer plain corn-on -the-cob with lots of butter to any other way of serving it. There are, however, many delicious ways to prepare 1t. One Is to cut it 1 from the cob and cook ten minutes in thin cream. seasoned with butter salt and pepper. The corn must be stirred constantly while cooking to prevent sticking aud burning. Green corn waffleg and fritters. corn eoufFle and corn pudding are delicious made of fresh corn. There are good ways to use leftover corn, to0.

Wrong Training Ruins Dogs

I'm so disappointed in Jiggs," his mistress complains. He's not a bit friendly--and why won't he obey?"
 Here's why. She started train ing him too Soon-long before the ideal age, ten months. He still was bewildered over what Come" meant when she switched to "sit" and "Carry!" No rewarding praise if he tired of the long lesson, she stamped her foot in exasperation, finally struck him with his leash. So the leash, which ought to mean only pleasure, terrifies him. And he doesn't trust his mistress. Jiggs doesn't try to learn now. It's no funl

Your Baby's Health
Cause of Earache Can Be Determined
 Best on Examination by Doctor

those due to infection inside the ear that usually is carried from the nose and throat and those resu!t- ing from other causes.
 The average man can guess at the cause of stomachache or even at the cause of c headache, but he can hardly guess the cause Of an ear- ache, This can be diagnosed only by someone trained in examination of ears.
 Sometimes on earache is caused by a boil or an infection in the canal which leads from the exterior down to the eardrum.
 There was Q time when people used to carry earspoons in their pockets, and would use them even in public for what they were sup- posed to be good for. The ear- spoon disappeared from polite so- clety, however, long before the toothpick lost caste.
 When a boil begins in the canal that leads down to the eardrum, the tissues around the boil prompt ly swell. Swelling means pressure, and pressure, pain.
 A boil in the ear canal will come to a head, just as 1t does elsewhere. When 1t comes to head, 1t bursts, and the swelling is relieved. With relief of the swelling, there will be relief from the pain.
 Whenever there is Q boil or even 8 large pimple in the ear canal, the pain will be accentuated if one pulls on the ear, or presses on the skin in front or behind the ear. Even moving of the jaws, as in chewing, may exaggerate the pain.
 In some cases nothing may be vis- ible from the outside of the ear. If, however, the doctor looks into the canal, he will find swelling which partially blocks the view to the ear- drum.
 Under such circumstances, the doctor will apply antiseptic sub- stances to stem the growth of the germs, and hot applications to eliminate tenderness. When the boil comes to a head, he can punc- ture it to expedite the removel of its contents and to bring about a more rapid cure.
 Remember that boils inside the ear, like boils elsewhere, begin where the skin has been broken or irritated. This is particularly true of boils on the back of the neck which follow irritation by the rough edge of stiff collar.
 Any manipulation of the ear canal for the removal of wax. or inside the ear with hard tnstru- ments by those who do not under stand the delicate nature of these tissues, may be the first step to- ward breaking the skin and start ing formation of a botl.

OXYGEN AND ANGINA
 PECTORIS

A concept of angina pectoris ace cepted by most authorities Is that the attack is due to anoxemia of the myocardium. If you laymen knew how much satisfaction Q doctor gets out of perpetrating such imposing terms you would forgive me for 1t. Anoxemia means insufficient oxygen in the blood supply; nyocardium means the muscle of the heart.
 An individual with one disease or another which iInpairs nutrition, lowers the efficiency of the circula- ton, depresses the metabolism (the rate of combustion or oxidation in the body), or places increased de- mands on these, may get on fairly comfortably until some unusual ex- ertion or emotion suddenly increases the demand on available energy made by the heart muscle, and if the demand cannot be met, an at' tack of angina occurs.
 Exercise, work play, active use Of the muscles, is the antidote for the poison or repressed or controlled emotions. It is the spectators arr teries and heart, not the players that must bear the brunt of an ex- citing football game. If the specta- tor gets a reasonable amount of exercise, in the form of honest work or play every day. he can take 1t. If he is 8 sedentary person, living by his wits and riding about or at tending a show or playing bridge for recreation, he can't take 1t. Ills arteries and heart are damaged by the unused energy released by emo- ton. Most of the casualties from thrilling spectacles happen in the grandstand.

can roll c dozen somersaults and hold his breath half Q minute.
 Of course walking as @ daily ex. ercise places Q certain demand on the heart and arteries. But 1t causes increased absorption of oxygen, im- proved metabolism, better oxidation in the tissues fthe body, more eff- cient circulation, and therefore tends to prevent attacks of angina pectoriS.
 So does rolling somersaults, c dozen to several dozen daily. Now do not advise decrepit invalids to attempt to roll somersaults if they have not attempted anything 50 lifelike for many years. But I do believe 1t is an excellent habit for every man or woman, particularly one of sedentary life. to get up and roll Q few on the floor several times Q day, right in the middle of what ever vexing problem or difficulty one may be grappling with at the mo- ment. Anyway, do SO myself. I want to live Q long while yet. (Send @ stamped envelope bearing your ad- dress, if you want to join the Sorn- ersaultauqua-it won't hurt you to know about 1t. It's a free country you need not turn 'em if you're so blamed dignifled)
 Aside from these general hints, there isn't much I can do for the victim of angina pectoris. If a tank of oxygen is available, or better car- boxygen (fnixture of 5% carbon di- oxide with oxygen) as used in the inhalator, a few inhalations of it would be Q fine emergency remedy for angina pectoris.
 hope nothing I say here will de- tract from the deserved repute of nitroglycerin, amylnitrite and sim- liar first aid remedies for the an- ginal attack.

 .een and white. A third design,
 Stars" comes in the same colors.
 All these linens are the creation f Marguerita Mergentimc, who las made something of a name for herself by proving that practical and decorative ideas can go hand in hand. She's the designer who put I6-inch initials on shower curtains, introduced polka dot sheets and converted Gertrude Stems -Four Saints in Three Acts" into new line of table linen.
 Designer is Newcomer
 Miss Mergentime started design ing linens in le34--not for the usual reasons but because she found she couldn't buy what she wanted for her own home. Inexperienced, she was nevertheless well equipped to become @ designer. She had stud- fed art in college, following this by reading all the books she could find on the subject of the history of table appointments. She did re- search in museums here and abroad, finally began putting the ideas she had acquired on fabrics.
 To-day she's top.notch in her profession, signs her linens just as an artist signs paintings.
