No matter how gray her hair be-
comes or how many fine expression
lines show In her face, the thor
oughly charming woman is likely to
be more beautiful at 40 than she
was at 20. Knowing this, one of the
greatest mistakes you possibly can
make is to waste time fretting and
worrying about birthdays instead of
doing all you can to make yourself
charming and interesting.
How long has 1t been since you
looked at yourself as you do at
others? For the sake of charm
"a woman's most important as
set whether her hair has turned
to silver or not-face your short
comings every few months.
Can you really find an honest
excuse for the fact you haven't
read a fine, informative book in
years? Have you been as
thoughtful of friends as you like
them to be of you? Have you
been closing your ears to I'M
pleasant gossip or have you been
guilty not only Of listening but
Of passing 1t on? + you were the
woman next door what would you
think of yourself as neighbor?
After you have answered these,
how about O few real beauty
questions?
Have you been boring people
with the details of your weight
problems instead Of doing some-
thing about the extra poundage?
Do you use night cream all too
infrequently, then go around say
ing 1t isn't very good cream be-
cause you still have wrinkles in your
throat? Do you forget to use hand
lotion, then IVORY because your
hands no longer look young? Have
you, really and truly, been giving
your beauty preparations a fair
chance to improve your appearance?
Do you brush your hair every
night?

much on personal faults, of course,

MOST INFECTIONS ENTER BODY
VIA NOSE AND MOUTH

the air, in street dust, anu in various
other materials, but Nature usually
is able to keep these under control,
as will be explained later.
Infections differ as to the route
by which they enter or are trans
ferred to the body. Tuberculosis,
for instance, comes in most times
by way Of the lungs: infantile
paralysis probably by way of the
nose; and syphilis by way Of the
genital organs. In most cases the
infectious material Is transmitted
by direct contact; in others it is
transmitted indirectly through wa
ter, food, soil, and air, In still other
cases, 1t Is transmitted by insects
or other carriers. II.
Applying a mathematical formu-
la, experts in preventive medicine
point out that the danger from in
lection diminishes inversely as to the
cube of the distance from its cause.
True, infections are sometimes
carried for great distances In pecu-
liar ways, For example, a survey re-
yeals that an infected mosquito may
travel on an airplane from South
America to the United States, but
that a mosquito infected with ma
laria can hardly be blown by the
wind from Brazil to the United
States. Sun, wind, and other factors
in our environment act unfavorably
on infectious organisms; otherwise,
we would all long since have dis
appeared.
The term contact infection"
means a quick transfer Of germs.
The contact may not involve actual
touching of one person by another.
It may, however, involve coughing,
kissing, sneezing or handling.
Infection may result from direct
contact between an infected person
and one who Is well, or from a
double contact-of an infected per-
son with q carrier and Of the carrier
with one who Is well.
1t Is possible also for infection to
be transferred by soiled hands,
towels. or cups, by remnants of food,
toys, pencils. doorknobs. and similar
materials.

mate. They absorb more of the
ultraviolet, get more vitamin d, and
this difference alone might account
for their increased immunity
against respiratory infection. OF
course, the laboratory workers
think it is vitamin A that is chiefly
concerned in maintaining immunity
against respiratory infection, but I
wouldn't bother much about vitamin
A in any circumstance. believe D
is the important one. There is little
evidence that even our ordinary re-
fined diet does not provide enough
vitamin A. There is plenty of evil
dence that our ordinary diet docs
not provide enough vitamin D. Vita
min D is the sunshine vitamin"-
the one the ultraviolet rays from
sunlight or other source produce by
activating egrosterol in the skin.
In the darn. sunny, blue sky eli
mate, even the old fogies from back
east expose their skin more or less.
But climate alone cannot cure
sinusitis of long standing. Proper
drainage and ventilation or aeration
of the sinus must be established, If
necessary by minimum of surgery,
or better by the more conservative
shrinkage of turbinates by desiccat-
ing with diathermy, and after that
regular irrigation and moist suction
gives the help necessary for recov-

Paris (UP)-Double duty dresses
that serve for street and cocktail
wear are the latest innovation Of the
big Paris dressmakers. It Is an indi-
cation of the return to practically
that these great designers, who
charge a small fortune for a single
garment should create dresses that
will serve for two different occa-
3ions
One of the most practical OF
these costumes is in black broad
cloth and taffeta. For street wear,
there is tailored skirt of broad
cloth which Is worn with short
sleeved taffeta blouse that Is fitted
tightly to the body by q band OF
shirring which runs down the front
from the high neckline and fastens
with tiny, taffeta-covered buttons.
A frilly collar in white organdy,
edged with a narrow band OF lace,
edges the high neck and forms a
jabot at the front of the waist. This
frill is continued as an edging to the
small hip pockets on the skirt.
A full length coat of BLACK
broadcloth accompanied this suit.
1t is made with a rounded collar Of
silver fox fur and a fitted and belt
less waistline. The broadcloth coat
has long, tight sleeves which are
slightly elevated at the shoulders.
For cocktail wear the black broad
cloth skirt Is discarded In favor OF
an ankle length skirt Of black taft
feta which is made along the same
lines as the taffeta blouse. The
band of shirring, outlined by small
buttons, continues down the center
front of the skirt almost to the
knees. From this point the skirt
flares out and dips almost TO the
floor In back.

PARENTS

There are three children IN the
Wilson family. Let us call them AL
bert, Betty and Charles.
Mrs. Wilson discovered before
each baby was q year old, that he
was entirely himself. Instead Of
matching each other, as she had
expected, like peas in a pod, they
were as different as pieces in a jig
saw puzzle.
Albert from the very first days
of collie, had a temper that kept
him right on after the collie disap-
peared.
Betty was a shy wiggler, who
cried if people stared. She was
afraid of strangers from the first.
She was fearful of the slightest
word of reproach. To laugh at her
for anything sent her into spasms.
She became secretive, not with the
natural secrecy that most three year
olds develop as phase and then
lose, but with that passion for hold
ing her very thoughts to herself,
lest she be hurt by comment or ridi-
Guile. She became a sulker.
Charles began with a sort Of
babyish cruelty that loved to hear
the cat howl or the dog yelp. Later
1t developed into sort of heathen-
ish ruthlessness that elbowed every
body out of its way. He rode over
his family and his, playmates, but
on the other hand, never brooded
If he got the worst of 1t.
He was lucky and, strange to say,
he was liked, because he had kind
of jolly personality that drew peo-
pie rather than repealed them. He
was thoughtless and careless more
because he was thick-Skinned him
self and imagined that others
thought little more Of being hurt or
ridden than he did.
Efforts Unavailing
So Mrs. Wilson had these three,
and her problem was, she thought.
to try to put them through the
grinder of standard and turn them
out as conventional meat cakes
that looked alike. She expected to
take some of Betty's sensitiveness
and mellow Charles a bit, some of
Charles gristle and get it into Betty's
soft marrow, bit of .AlbertS over
supply of temper and substitute it for
Betty's sulks; some of Betty's silence
and outword forbearance into Albert.

There are various ways in which
germs enter the human body. They
may, of course, enter, with air,
through the nose and the breath
ing tract into the lungs; they may
reach the intestines with food or
fluids; or they may get through
openings in the skin.
1t has been estimated that at
least 80 per cent of infections enter
the body by way of the nose and
the mouth-most of them through
the mouth. The infectious organ
isms also may get in with dust, with
objects placed In the mouth, or
what is known as "hand to mouth
infection may be responsible.
These facts obviously are Of i'm
portance in preventing infection.
Hands should certainly be washed
before and after handling food, or
attending to any of the ordinary
toilet affairs of the human body.
Hands should be kept away from
mouth and nose as much as pos
sible. No one with decent manners
will put his fingers in his nose or
use his fingernails to pick his teeth,
Intelligent people do not chew the
ends Of pencils or hold other OBJ
jects In the mouth. They leave this
for the lower animals.
.
Dishes and other utensils used
for food or water should be boiled
after use by one person and before
use by another, particularly at times
when there are epidemics Of coughs
colds, and other respiratory diseases
Food and drink should be clean and
most foods thoroughly cooked. Such
simple measures would prevent In
Vulnerable cases OF infection.

one human being to another. or

SINUSITIS AND COUGH

SINUSITIS AND COUGH
In not a few cases of chronic or
recurring winter cough the source
of the trouble is chronic sinusitis.
Having made this profound OBJ
servation we'll forget bronchitis and
cough for the moment and talk
about sinusitis. In truth we doctors
know little about the cause of sinu-
sits but at that we can expatiate
safely on the subject because you
laymen know nothing at all about it,
Bronchitis is different. You lay!nen
think you know as much as an Or
binary doctor does about bronchial
trouble, its cause, treatment and so
on, and even If a doctor does try to
tell you something about it every
thing he says goes in one ear and
out the other unless 1t happens to
coincide with your peculiar notions
or obsessions.
A Florida physician has observed
cures of chronic sinus infection
without radical surgery when coll
sentative drainage and ventilation,
coupled with Increased resistance
from out of door life in the semi
tropics" has been the only treat
ment. Just what the doctor means
by Increased resistance" must re-
main a mystery. He continues: "Thc
psychic effect of change of resi-
dence from a cold, damp, cloudy,
short-summer climate, to warm
sunny, blue sky climate is a po-
tent factor in increasing the resis-
lance to any bacterial infection.
Better rest and sleep at night, a
better balanced diet, new scenes,
less worry. All these are upbuilding
and resistance building factors"
1t does seem as though the Florida
doctor Is bit insistent about resis-
lance. However, you get the general
idea. The advantages ascribed to the
warm sunny blue sky climate are
physical, physiological, real, and
not merely phychic, I should say.
People who are obsessed with fears
of dampness, cold, drafts, wet feet
do not remain SO much cooped up
