 Food Suggestions By Mrs. Mary E. Dague

Do you ever vary your cake-lnak- Ing routine with baked icing? Or broiled icing? And do you know the convenience of ice-box icings2 There IS nothing very complicated about these unusual cake frostingS. In fact they are quite the contrary and save both time and labor.
 Baked icing, as you probably have guessed from the name, is baked right along with the cake.
 Cake With Baked Icing

 Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

Mother love is the theme today, that very excellent thing that makes the world go round.
 For a change, let us call t mother intuition, because it takes mama to know that James is not really Q bad boy at all; that he means well and people just do not understand him. Mothers do know their own children better than most people think.
 Taking 1t for granted, then, that we mothers are aware of the real truth about our children'S char acters, their weaknesses and so on, 1t seems to me to be very im- portant what course we take in dealing with lapses.
 There are two ways of handling such situations. One is to fight their battles for them enotionally. The other is to try to forget we are mothers during Q crisis and stop feeling sorry for them, using every ounce of intelligence we can summon.
 James, poor fellow, is always in hot water. He is, like most boys, impulsive, experimental and full of the old Nick. He forgets to do what he's told, never comes in for meals on time, slams doors, tramps on lawns and flower beds, throws balls as though windows were unheard of, and likes to pick fights.
 Needs Mother Best
 Naturally, there are complaints from neighbors, teachers and storekeepers. Our heart, this moth- CTS heart, won't admit that this little terror is wrong. But 1t should, and the reason is clear, because James pays more attention to what his mother thinks, or his parents, let us say, than all the rest of the world put together, particularly it that opinion is Q shield.
 Of course, most mothers are too sensible to go in for wholesale pro- lection when their children are chronic misbehavors, but I think we all have too strong Q tendency to feel hurt in ourselves when our offspring must take the conse- quences for any lapse in behavior, What mother, if she told the truth would not confess that she is more quickly hurt through her children than herself? It is an instinct to save her own heart from bleeding that prompts her to humor and ex- cuse the lapses of her young. Even tho thing her child does to hurt her directly find forgiveness. Forgive ness is quick balm to suffering. She must forget, 50 she must forgive.
 Hardest Sacrifice
 point out the weaknesses of mother love. It's power for good needs no championiAg. Poets, poli- ticians and philosophers have spell cd it's virtues correctly through the ages. But let all of us watch our titles jealously. We must learn to know ourselves and our excessive senSitiVeness, we mothers. Through our own defenses we can soften the fibre of our little ones. By putting emotion away when necessary and permitting cool intelligence to handle Q situation, we become constructive and helpful.
 There are times in family life when the mother must say to her. self, T am 0 stranger. How would an outsider handle this2" A hard thing to do, just about the hardest there is, but then aren't mothers made for sacrifice?

Hit and Miss Dieting Seldom
 Gets You Anywhere

Hit and Miss Dieting Seldom Gets You Anywhere
 Banting, excluding sugars, starch- es and fats from the diet, the var ious fad reduction diets, the Karell diet (which I formerly recommend ed but no more) fruit juice diets, going without breakfast or lunch, eteing pickles, drinking vinegar or lemon juice or other things Of little or no caloric or food value in the childish belief that such things reduce, and in fact all diets, sys- tems or plans would involve depriv- ation, fasting or seyni-starvation, are now obsolete and, in my opinion ounght to be discarded by physic- fans and by laymen who have due regard for health. Each and every one of these schemes is likely to impair nutrition, especially If the victim actually loses any weight to speak of, and we know now that not only is 1t unnecessary to inter- fere with nutrition in order to cor- rect obesity but proper treatment should and does distinctly improve general health and nutrition while the superfiuous flesh is being dis- posed of.
 Medicines or gland extracts of any description which purports to reduce weight without danger are dangerous humbugs.
 Mineral water derivatives or glorified salts purporting to "slen- derize" can have as much effect on corpulency as an equivalent dose of plain Epson salts, and even Q dimwit would not seriously attempt to correct fleshiness with physic. Any weight lost in that way is merely the weight of water excreted through the intestine, and that, like water lost by profuse sweating, as from a hot bath of some kind, is replaced within 12 to 24 hours-or elsel It Is indeed dangerous to withdraw large quantities of water from the body if water or liquid beverages are not freely taken to satisfy thirst.
 So-called reducing" exercises are sometimes beneficial, sometimes detrimental, according to the indi- vidual condition, but so far as re- ducing superfluous flesh is con- cerned no more exercise than one is accustomed to take is necessary | in a sound, healthful reduction regimen.
 On the one hand, taking salts in any form to reduce fieshiness changes the condition to fiabbiness: on the other hand, taking exercise of proper amount and kind in con- junction with Q sane reduction regimen converts limpness into flrmness and slouchiness into vigor. physically, mentally and morally.
 The experience of thousands of physicians in the past three years bears out the postulate that # the food taken by the individual sup- plies adequate proportions Of ell the nutritive essentials-nameiy, carbohydrate, protein, fat, fibre, minerals and vitamins-the appe- tite. hunger or craving for food will be satisfled with a total intake just sufficient to maintain normal weight.

The mother returns wholly, in most instances, to normal condition six to eight weeks after childbirth. During this time, rest and quiet are important.
 Doctors differ as to whether the mother should lie fiat on her back during the first two weeks or take a moderate amount of exercise. Doctors nowadays are inclined to allow more freedom,
 About the fourth day the mother may begin light exercise. First, she may sit up in bed and increase her activity gradually until she can get into a chair on the 10th or 11th day.
 It is not advisable for the mother who leaves the hospital on the 10th to the 18th day to walk up three flights of steps to her apartment, if she lives in an apartment build ing. If possible, someone should carry her.
 If she must walk, she should do

GIori6ing Yourself
By Alicia Hart

"No woman should massage her face," skin specialist told me yes- terday. "It loosens the muscles and causes them to sag. After all, if body messages break down tissues and make ones dimensions smaller, 1t stands to reason that the same type of treatment on face and throat will break down those deli- cate tissues"
 Then the complexion expert went on to talk about the importance of absolute cleanliness. He heartily endorses soap and water. He thinks masks are beneficial to all types of skin, young or old.
 Mask treatments, by the way, no longer are complicated routines that take hours of your time. One new semi-liquid mask can be applied in the morning after you have washed your face and throat. Leave it on for fifteen minutes.
 Since the mask never does get ex- tremely hard and dry, you can very well do your morning exercises while you have it on. Twice Q week, one beauty-minded woman whom I know gets ID fifteen minutes earlier than usual, washes her face. applies the reconditloning mask, then brushes her teeth. does . few exeF- clses and puts breakfast on the stove. She has been doing this bl- weekly beauty routine for only one month. yet her skin is decidedly inc proved.
