Colds are increasing. In some
sections Influenza is breaking
out, Don't be alarmed, but don't
be careless.
A cold is much easier avoided
than cured! Do the sensible
thing and adopt the ounce OF pre-
ventionpolicy. Stayoutof crowds
as much as you can. Avoid cough
ers and sneezers. Dress warmly,
keep your feet dry and sleep In
q well-ventilated room.
Every morning and night take
one or two Groves Laxative
Bromo Quinine tablets. This will

Millions know Bromo Quinine
as an excellent cold treatment,
but not enough know it as an
equally excellent preventive.

Most surely the trite expression,
1.-THE way to a mans heart" will
be repeated, perhaps jestingly, but
all the same with serious implica-
ton.
Today we have some recipes
and suggestions for the amateur
cook. So many ready-to-mix prepa-
rationS are on the market that
there is little chance for failure
if the new, tested recipes are fol-
lowed.
It certainly is reassuring, how
ever, to have tried out several of
them first and to have a few SIM
pie recipes at your finger tips so
that when the time approaches for
the first important meal, you will
be prepared and poised.
Banana Shortcake made with
DEVILS food mixture or one of the
many ready-to-mix gingerbreads
is simple and rather unusual.
Here is another dessert that is sure
to please the masculine taste. It
can be prepared in the refrigera-
tor in the morning.

crackers. Shape the mixture into

Now, while I may claim to be
fairly acquainted with the moods
Of men, having an entirely mascu-
line household, should be the
last woman in the world to try to

But while safety, not to say COM

nerS.
Never was q truer word written,
than "a soft answer turneath away
wrath" and If the soft answer Is
seasoned with q dash Of humor,
the situation is saved.
Most of the disillusions Of mar
riage come from men and women
going back to the cave standard.
Actual bludgeoning with q club
may be renOunced, but in man.
ners domestic arguments often
antedate the horse and buggy
days.
So many pepole feel that their
good manners, as good clothes,
are not for home use. Bernard
Shaw pointed this out years ago
with sundry wiSecracks in a play
with which you are doubtless
familiar.
It's a sad, sad commentary on
home life to think that if people,
living under the same roof and
sitting down to the same table at
least twice a day, would only be
as polite to each other as they are
to strangers, a little ElySium
would be established right here on
earth.

pie who live under the same roof

Gold Jewelry

PARIS.-While ornaments with
bright-colored beads in solid or
transparent plastic materials are
just as fashionable as ever, there
is a definite tendency to continue
the use Of plain plastics, which
are often cut or engraved. A
great number of models show a
clever combination with gold,
especially when destined to be
worn on plain or fancy back
grounds of black or navy blue.
This combination is noticeable in
buckles and clips, as well as in
fancy necklaces, bracelets, rings
and earrings. Sourdfllat, the
fancy jewels and accessory Spe-
cialist, displays a whole collec-
ton of this type Of ornaments,
including belt buckles with match
ing accessories, which are made
of engraved transparent plastic
materials, strikingly combined
with balls in plain dull gold.
