If c mother who is nursing her baby has plenty of milk, she Will probably do well to feed the baby from one breast only at each nurs- ing. Less frequent use of the breast lessens danger of infection and of sore or cracked nipples.
 If c mother does not have very much milk, she should use both breasts in nursing, because regular use of the breast for nursing stirn- ulates the milk flow.
 If one breast only is used in nursing, the baby should not nurse much longer than 10 minutes. If both breasts are used, six minutes nursing should supply the baby with all the milk that will be use- ful to him.
 Scientific studies show that the food obtained by the baby after the first six to 10 minutes is hard ly sufficient to be of great impor- tance in ordinary nursing.
 Once a schedule of feeding has been adopted, 1t should be followed closely. Sometimes a baby fed every four hours gets unusually hungry at the end of 3 or 3 1-2 hours, especial ly if he has been active or if the previous feeding has been small.
 In such case, the baby should not be allowed to cry for a half hour, but may be fed a little ahead of time. The next feeding, however, should be given at the regular period.
 
 A baby who nurses too long at the breast will tend to swallow much

 The girl who graduates from hiRh school this months should realize that health and cleanliness are of greatest importance to her beauty. Her young complexion requires no highly specialized creams and lo- tions. Her skin treatments should be extremely simple.
 If you are under IS let soap and water reign supreme in your life. wash your face twice Q day. If your skin is dry, apply Q light coat of cream after the night washing. Don't use mothers rich, heavy nourishing cream. Instead, get one of the mild all-purpose varieties or q tissue cream, compounded espec- ially for tender, tlnlined skins.
 Take Q booth every day, of course. Use Q deodorant and a depilatory. Inclndentally, don't get into the habit of using a razor to remove superfiuous hair. Better to pick Q regular depilatory which discourages the growth as 1t removes the hair. Be Tnetcuilous about brushing and sllampooing hair and scalp. Never neglect your nneernails. Wear c bit of makeup if you like, but don't depend on 1t to cover up skin defects. Eat ser1sibly, sleep regu- larly and 60 in for outdoor sports. If, in spite of strict attention to health routines. your skin isn't clear, better see your family doctor.
 Keep rules for perfect grooming firmly in mind. You may be pretty as q picture with hair gleaning and skin fresh as paint, but if you neg feet to shine your shoes, press your dresses and brush your hats, much wasted.
 When buying perfumery, it is best to avoid heavy, rich scents. Leave these for your sophisticated elders end, for yourself, pick light floral or light spicy odors that harnonize with oyur own age and looks. Time enough later on for eyeshadow, mascara, rich creams, special lot- ions and heavy perfumes. For now, health, cleanliness and neatness plus your own freshness are enough to make all eyes turn your way.

Food Suggestions
By MRS. MARY E. DACUE

Here are fruit and vegetable dot and don'ts for the June bride, who while not as inexperienced as shg used to be, still needs advice.
 Whenever fruit is cooked, be 4 fresh or dried, do not add sugar until the fruit is tender. If sugar is added sooner, the skin tends tc toughen and the texture of the fruit is hard, nor will the fruit be as sweet and delicately favored The more acid the fruit, the more important the rule. Keep this iil mind when you make apple sauce. Never let fruit stand fin water Wash 1t thoroughly and carefully then drain and use at once.
 Same Rule for Vegetables
 This same rule applies to vege- tables. Wash them well and prepare for cooking. If they are witty, they may be put into water just long enough to freshen them. This should be done before they are trimmed or cut in any way.
 The rules for cooking vegetables will bear repeating. First use as little water as will prevent burn ing. Second, take care not to over. cook. Third, cook in actively boiling water and fourth, add salt when the vegetables are half-cooked. Most of the succulent summer vegetAbles will cook in twenty to thirty min utes. So if the "half done" stage confuses you, add salt at the end of ten minutes.
 Cook green colored vegetables un- covered, if you would preserve their color. Strong -juiced vegetables, such as cabbage and onions, should be cooked uncovered, too, in Q large amount of water.

 Your Children

Perhaps the word "allersy" means no more to you today than 1t did to me Q month or two ago.
 knew in general that 1t had something to do with untouch- ables, those foods one cannot eat or the weeds one dare not smell; also that llpuse.dust and fur sometimes offend certain intol- etant sinuses and threats.
 It took a serious upset and a consequent Allergy clinic to re- lieve me of my ignorance. Now l have some small idea of what 1t is all about. And in my turn, I be- lieve, proved to be Q useful guinea pig for at my age and everything I should not be allergic to . very common food, which I am, as my tests proved.
 I have llesitated to write this article because you know how 1t is. Instantly people will clap hands to heads and groan, "That's whats wrong with me-" or My Johnny is allefgic to deughnuts, I just know he is."
 Rely on Allergy Test
 Any new discovery in there- peutic science is almost afraid to announce itself, as we all have such . beautiful tendency to jump to conclusions. But in "allerEy" we really have no hy-by-night fad that will pass out with the election; 50 1t seems sensible to dis cuss 1t as . matter of interest.
 Child or adult may now be tested by tiny and quite innocent injections under the skin, of food preparations, or pollen, or what have you, to see if the system rese1tS one or more special items. In other words, one mans meat or pleasure may be another's poison.
 Eggs, wheat, vegetables, poultry, meats, milk, most fruits and 50 on may agree with you. But, hey therel--what's that No strawber- ries? And just now when they are 70 good too. Oh, no? Well, that's 9 relief. onions9 That's better. And so 1t goes.
 Children may be allergic to certain foods and have to do without them; then in time out- grow the intolerance and go right at them again and eat all they want. In some instances, all other things being favorable, when @ necessary food has been found to be an enemy, there is a process of "de-sensitization" which often is satisfactory, but once in while not aS successful as mama hoped.
 Idi0syncracy Affects Health
 But one thing is sure, and that Is that many children and many people who never have been quite will and who have baffled the doctors because there seemed to be no real reason for continued illness, have been found to be "al- lergic" to something they ate or breathed. And when the item was Identified and delegated to limbo, recovery has frequently been rather amazing.
 Allergy will not cure bad tonsils, adenoids, or Q pain in the knee. But 1t will tell most of us, in time, what food to let alone.
 What is 1t that I myself cannot eat? I know you are curious. It is one of the "staffs" of life, but shall not name 1t. If I did you would be testing 1t out on the family and that would be terrible. I am I, and you are you, and Johnny is Johnny. Melt isn't bread. Yes, I feel much much better, thank you.

| A thin white sauce, the consist ency of rich cream, is delicious over green beans and peas. A thicker sauce that coats the vege- table is used for new potatoes and caplidower. But no matter how thick the sauce may be 1t always is made the same way. First melt the butter over c low fire, when bubbly stir in flour and blend until smooth. Then slowly add the cold liquid, stirring constantly. Two tablespoons butter, from two tea spoons to two tablespoons Hour (the more flour, the thicker the sauce), and one-half teaspoon salt are the proportions to use with one cup liquid to make one cup sauce. Vege- tables must, of course, be drained before combining with the sauce. How to Cut Down Recipes Most recipes make too much for Q family of two. My own recipes are planned to serve four. The average recipe found in standard cook books is calculated to serve six. So you see, if you use half the recipe you will have plenty for two persons. Only do be sure to use half of each ingredient when you reduce Q recipe. If i've eggs are called for it's Q good Idea to use three small ones.
 When you use packaged goods follow the instructions on the box explicitly. The manufactures has gone to great trouble to provide you with these directions and they are planned to give you full satisfaction in using his product, If, after this first trial, your per- sonal taste demands . change you can make it.

Delightful Spots
This road back from Warren
ton leads past one Of the most
historic places in the United
States, the battlefields Of Bull
Run. There are the monuments
to the fallen soldiers, there is the
old stone bridge, now closed to
traffic, where hundreds of men
fought and died for it's possession
as one of the key points Of the
conflict.
While these roads lead through
mountains, through wild country
in places, the highways are in ex-
cellent condition. There are gaso-
line service stations in abundance,
so no fear of running short of fuel.
And for the picknicker, there are
hundreds Of delightful spots to
stop and rest, beside clear bubbling
springs or dashing little streams.
Or for those who do not care
to dine al freSco, there are quaint
old country tavernS, featuring the
fried chicken and ham for which
Virginia is world famous. And

Following is a description Of
some Of the towns and historical
spots passed on this days jaunt

more are bred in Loudoun, Fau-

BERRYVILLE-Pop. LOO; alt.
568 #. County seat of Clarke
county, II miles east Of Winches-
ter on United States Highway $40.
In the early days tavern, black
smith shop and store stood here
at the crossroads Of two paths
used by settlers. The little settle
ment was called "Battletown" be-
cause it was the rendezvous, usually
not peaceful, Of the youths Of
the neighborhood. Among them
was Daniel Morgan, who served as
WAGNER in Braddock's expedition
in 1755; joined Washington with
a company of 100 riflemen when
the Revolution broke out; served
with distinction at Quebec and
Saratoga; and defeated Colonel
Tarleton at CowpenS. He lived at
Soldiers Rest" here until he built
his home Saratoga" near mill
wood. OF interest:
"Audley Court" home of Nellie
Parke Gusts Lewis, after the death
Of her husband, Major Lawrence
Lewis, in 1889. She died here in
1852. The estate, two miles east
Of Berryville, lis privately owned
and has one Of the most famous
racing stables in the country.
WINCHESTER-Pop. 10, $50, alt.
TIT it. County seat Of Frederick
county, near the northern end Of
two important roads, U. S. High

West, and U. s. IL. the Valley

Winchester was established by
law in 1852, and played an import
ant part in the French and Indian
Wars, the Revolution and the war
between the States. Particularly
during the latter it felt the effects
Of war, for it was taken and re-
taken 70 times, four times during
one single day. This is explained
by the fact that the Shenandoah
Valley was considered the granary
Of the Confederacy. Three battles
were the most important, and are
called the First, Second and Third
Battles of Winchester, respectively,
and took place in 1862, 1863 and
1864.

career here in 1748 as surveyor to

through the summer, you will find
many types on the market to fill
these requirements. Usually these
connect with the system installed
for heating and winter air condi-

1t is now possible also to zone"

be air conditioned, and control sum-
mer temperature in these rooms

To Meet
Needs

So many types Of air condi-
tioning are on the market, that
it becomes a matter of choosing
the type that is best adapted to
your purse and the particular
problems presented in your
home.
Usually the air conditioning
equipment is attached to the
heating apparatus. And, Of course,
If you are building the advantage
Of installing new equipment for
both summer and winter air con-
ditioning should not be over
looked.
Complete air conditioning In
cludeS humidification, air circula-
ton, air cleaning, ventilation,
and automatic control Of temper
allure the year round.
There Is also equipment for in
stalling either winter or summer
air conditioning. In many cases
this can be attached to the old
heating equipment. Many homes
with a warm air furnace and
automatic Stoker, have added a
fan and humidifier at little cost
and obtained satisfactory winter
air conditioning.
For Apartments
For apartment jewellers, sum-
mer air conditioning can be OBJ
tanned by use Of a portable air
conditioner that looks much like
a piece Of furniture. Done in
metal, finished to resemble wal
nut, it is installed under an open
window. A duct leads back to
the window. Through this the
stale air is removed, the fresh
air comes in, is cooled. has the
moisture content partially re-
moved.
In one type the regulation is
accomplished by small series Of
switches on top concealed under
a small metal lid. One controls
compression, another fan, etc. 1t
takes care Of as much as 1000
cubic feet Of air. This would be
a room size 20 by 20 feet with a
high ceiling.
New developments in ventila-
ton and air circulation present a
cooling system for larger homes
that can be installed quickly and
Is inexpensive to operate. It con-
SiSts in installing in one end Of
a well insulated attic a large ex-
haust fan. Near the hall or stair
well to the attic an open register
is placed in the ceiling. In the
evening, the windows in the house
are all opened, the fan is turned
on, the warm air rises and is
sucked out through the exhaust
fan. Fresh cool night air comes
in. This constant air change does
bring much relief.
In considering the advantages
Of summer air conditioning, it is
wise to remember that discom-

Practical

: If you are now selecting the ma.
terial to be used in your new home,
you will want to give careful con.
sideration to the type Of roofing
used. Long life, fire resistance,
weight, are important as well as
beauty and whether or not the ap-
pearance fits into the style Of
architecture used.
In making selection, it is i'm.
portant to choose a good quality.
While cheap roofing is tempting.
yet in a few years it may have to
be replaced. This additional ex.
pense involved in reroofing will
more than offset the additional
saving" involved. This is the
type Of thing, too, that can be
purchased through Federal Hous-
ing loan.
For the old home, it is possible
to select a material that can be
applied directly over the old roof.
This "overroofing" eliminates the
expense of removing the old roof
and at the same time affords insu-
lation. and greater protection from
storm damage.

Another Room

II you are having an oil burner
installed, the extra space where
the coal bin was can be changed
over to an attractive recreation
room. Many new types of building
board are on the market that can
be adapted nicely for this purpose.
One type has a rough finish on
the outside and comes in designs
such as plank, or tile. 1t can be
painted or plastered if desired. A
recent innovation is to leave the
boards in natural finish then use
bands Of chromium to give a mod.
ernistic finish to the room.
