If the budget is close, the expen-
sive boiled meats must be passed
by.
In that case consider the ham
burgers. These are inexpensive
and their use is versatile. They are
almost universally liked and can
be prepared quickly.
They may be broiled, or served
smothered in onions, made into
casserole dishes that provide a
complete one-dish meal.

WILMA LAVILLE

Our fingernails are porus,
and have a certain amount of
natural oil. The oil is alb
sorbed by nail polish, and for
that reasons you often hear
someone say they must "rest
their nails" to get them back
in condition. But now there
is a new polish, just out, which
is made with an oil base. It
supplies the nails with oil to
take the place Of the natural
oils and does not absorb as
much. The polish is grand in
other ways-will stay on and
preserve its good looks for a
week, or longer than ordinary
polishes, and is not affected by
salt water, or hot or cold
water. It cannot chip or peel,
it corrects split or brittle nails,
goes on quickly without streak
ing and does not thicken in
the bottle. There are "a colors,
including the new sun tan
tones, so that you are sure to
find some you like. With all
these virtues, it sells for only
SO cents. Demonstrated this
week and next.

Beauty
Protect Eyes
From Sun
nv DONNA GRACE

With the gay, vacation montnS
of the summer season occupying
the foreground of our activities,
we must remember that not only
must we be Neutrality-suspicious., but
our eyes demand our constant at
tention.
We are out-of-doors much OF
the time, and our eyes are apt
to be neglected and unprotected
from the dust and grit Of the
highways and the beaches, unless
we keep their Importance in mind.
Air contact is good for the eyes
up to the point of fatigue.
Eyes are sensitive, too, when
subjected to the glaring sunlight.
They do their very best to protect
themselves, and their defense Is
the tense squint that becomes a
habit to so many Of us. These
squint lines around the eyes have
a, depressing way Of turning into
permanent lines and wrinkles
that can be directly charged to
eye-strain. -.
One of the most important
items in the beauty kit is the eye
wash. Why not take good big
bottle of it and use it several
times a day?
You will have your Sunproof oils
and creams to protect the skin,
but you will need good nour1Sh"
ing cream and q cleansing cream
as well. The light massage at
night and refreshing lotions and
aStringentS will keep your skin
protected. A little bottle of muscle
oil will be a splendid foil for the
mature woman. When the lines
are noticeable they will need such
treatment.

new gadget that will shell the peas,
or slice the beans. It shells lima
beans, too, and heaven knows they
are pesky things to manage. 1t

To shell or slice, you slide the
shelter in, the slicer out, or vice

another argument in its favor.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
'When 1 left the home town to
take q job In . Government de-
partment, l expected to send back
for the girl to whom was en-
gagged, In about six months, when
I hoped to have saved enough on
which TO 90 housekeeping.
well, Miss Fairfax, 1 walked
right into the affair of my life.
We worked in the same division
Of q certain Government depart
ment, and I never met q girl like
her before. She was pretty, fasci-
mating, and equal to any situation.
81 never thought Of breaking
my engagement with the home
town girl when we started going
together, but after dancing night
after night at some Of the hotels
and clubs, we discovered we were
in love with each other, and then
we found out she was in exactly
the same boat as was, for she
was engaged to a hometown boy
who looked kind Of queer when he
came to Washington to see her.
$50, we confessed our love for
each other, and wondered what to
do next. Her fiance took it on the
chin and was all right about it but
my fiancee took it ON the tear
ducts, threatened to commit sui.
eide and 60 into decline.
81 just don't know how to get
out Of this mess. Have you any
suggestions? THOMAS"
Let's be thankful, that in these
enlightened days neither a girl
nor a man has to go on with an
engagement if he or she is no
longer in love.
1t was different in your grand.
fathers day, and not so very diff.
ferent a generation ago. But to-
day when there are other destinieS
open to women besides marriage,
a man is free to break an engage
ment with a girl he no longer
loves.
If she grows fearful when you
see see her, better write her that
the engagement is off. It's too bad
for the girl, but think how much
worse it would be for her if you
married her and didn't love her.

DOCTOR FINDS
ROOSEVELT IN
fine HEALTH

President Roosevelt swings into
his reelection campaign "in bet
ter physical trim" than when he
first entered the White House
three and a quarter years ago.
Capt. Ross T. McIntire, the
White House physician, who
checks up on the Presidents
health at least three times a
week, so revealed today.
Strong Constitution
Fifty.four years old last Jan
uary 80, the President today has
a stronger constitution than most
men of 45-this despite the Cruel
ling grind that has lined his face
and thinned his hair, according
to DR.. McIntire.
He said
"The Presidents blood pres
sure is well inside normal. His
heart is sound and his circula-
tory system good. AL in all. he
IL III SUuIAuCA AC0AN" SA
was three years ago."
Light eating is one factor in
Roosevelt's health, DR.. Mc1ntlre
said, though the President seldom
suspends business for luncheon
and often carries on state ousl'
ness through the dinner hour.
DIR. McIntire added:
"a daily plunge in the White
House swimming pool, Zest
for his job and refusal to submit
to anxietieS also keep the Presl-
dent mentally and physically
well toned"
The President breakfasts only
on orange juice and a glass OF
milk three mornings a week. -Four
other mornings he adds bacon
and an Cgg, buttered toast-and
substitutes coffee for milk.
Has Heavy Schedule
Luncheon is invariably frugal
and even at state dinners the
President eats sparingly.
Not once has illness forced
Roosevelt to cancel public ap-
pearance or speaking engage
ment since he became President.
On the lew occasions when colds
kept him from the executive
offices, he carried on by telephone
and through secretaries from his
bedroom.
The Presidents schedule calls
for an average of 80 appointments
daily Twice a week he faces 100
to $50 correspondents at a press
conference. His friends believe
few business executives could
stand the pace.
