-BRAUTX- GIorifing Yourself
By Alicia Hart

The minute you start wearing black street dresses again and begin to consider seriously fall suits and frocks, stop exposing your skin to bright sunshine and do all you can to get your color ing back to normal. Suntan IS lovely with summer pastels, white and navy blue, but not with black.
 Don't permit your skin tones to resemble the shade Of faded leaves" says one cosmetic expert. "At the first cool nip-just as you are beginning to slip into the high yaller' stage, toss aside all summer makeup which has traces of yellow in 1t. Use rosy powder to combat the citron hue of your skin. Then, with splatsh of bright red lipstick, you can at least be presentable until bleach treatments have done their work"
 Discarding your slightly yel- Jewish summer powder does not mean that you should immedaite- ly start to use a light shade such as you wore last winter. No, in- | QeeQs Ou Ahuob SVASh " = Nes>A tone, but it can be pinkish in- stead of yellowish and dark. Get the dearest scarlet Mpstick you can find, turning your back on the rust one you have liked since July. If you need rouge, let It match the vivid lipstick. Inci- dentally, if your first black dress has short Sleeves, better use pink ish foundation and @ bit of face powder on arms as well as face and throat.
 Do all you can to hasten the bleaching process. Suntan will disappear fairly soon anyway, but you might as well help na- ture a bit. Among the homemade bleaches, plain tomato juice or pure cucumber juice cannot be beat. Supplement either of these with weekly egg mask.
 If you get @ commercially pre- pared bleach, be sure to use 1t ac- I cording to directions. And, pre- pared or homemade. any bleachc is likely to have slightly drying ef- fects, so use night cream faithful ly.

reader puts 1t: Any member of the family can soak as long as de- sired without holding up the whole place." There is something in the idea, I feel sure, though the thought of that tank or tub with a live corpse soaking in 1t depresses me so much that I can't recall at the mo- ment just what 1t is. However, where there is need to conserve space, a roomy shower requires less space than a small tub. Then, too, in planning odd House the idea is not to save the difference or to squander 1t but to spend part of what one saves in Jonesesque drapes ct cetera for shower and lavatory for each bedroom.
 Awnings of the put up and take down type are out at Odd House. If and when outside shades are ac- tually necessary, Venetian blinds will be used If window shades are absolutely necessary for any of the windows. The prime considerations at odd House are Comfort and Haelth. Where sunshine is likely to fade anything that's just too bad but things that can't stand sunshine have no place in odd House. Sum- shine 1t must be remembered, even just diffuse daylight or skylight is precious vitamin D at the lowest cost.

STYLE CHATS
BY DOROTHY CAREW

Paris - (UP) - The felts have 1t where midsummer hats are concerned. Whether they are flattering broad-brimmed cape lines that are so smart for the races and other outdoor occasions, tur- bans and glorified berets for town wear, or sports cloches - light weight felts are the leading fabric
 Small hats continue their up- turned tendency and are in- clined to tip bit backward from the face. Crowns are fairly high and are narrower at the top, although some wide-brimmed ha:s are crownless, leaving the hair ex- posed.
 The novelty angle seen in brims that shoot out at odd angles, un- usual trimmings and odd-shaped crowns, is notable in the Blanche and Simone hats with cosmetic compartments.
 One cloche has a stitched crown with a pocket which serves as a hiding place for tiny mirror. powder and lipstick, and part tur- ban with a similar pocket can be converted into handbag by carry ing 1t by the double streamer at the back.

Beriberi Controlled By Changing Diet To Include Food Containing Vitamin B
T. NJ. Reg. U. S. Pat on.

vitamin Bl. The disease known as beriberi, which results from short- age of vitamin Bl, was described by the Japanese at least 200 B. 0.
 In 1880, a. Japanese medical ad- miral eliminated the occurrence of the disease from the sailors in the Japanese navy by changing their diets. Beriberi is seldom seen in the United States.
 The symptoms of relative de- ficiency of vitamin B may, how ever, be rather frequent. In beri- beri there are disturbances of mo- ton and of sensation. Fluid col- lects in the body and the heart acts badly.
 Typical beriberi, as 1t was found in the Japanese, resulted from eat- ing polished rice. Beriberi may, however, develop whenever the diet is a monotonous one be limited to other grains from which the germ has been removed, such as wheat and corn.
 It may also occur in people who live largely on diets of white bread, sugar, molasses and fats. When the disease does occur among white peoples, it usually affects the in- mates of jails, ships and asylums whose diets may be largely restrict ed by the environment in which they find themselves.
 When there is an insufficient amount of vitamin Bl in the diet or when for any reason the vitamin is not absorbed by the body. the reac- tions which occur are typical.
 When the muscles of the calf of the leg are squeezed, they are found to be exceedingly tender. Tn various portions of the body the skin Is without sensation. When the patient squats down, he may be unable to get up without using his hands because of the pain.
 It is not, however, a simple mat ter for the average person to diag- nose his own condition because many of these symptoms occur in other diseases of the arthritic type.
 Most important in beriberi is to find out first that the condition ex- ists, and second take the necessary steps to see that 1t does not persist or happen again.

 Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

 Dog days worry so many parents that it is only kind to do a little explaining.
 The way the days of July got their reputation in olden times was not on account of eogs, but from the Dog Star, the largest in the constellation known as Canis Major, or Greater Dog.
 Many cancellations are named after animals. We have the Lion (Leo) and the two Bears, Ursus Major and Ursus Minor. Then there is the Goat, the Fish, the Crab, and so on. am no astron- omer but I have always been in- terested in the charm of the stars, and their various stories.
 Now Sirius, the Dog Star, pokes its head over the night horizon in our north temperate zone, each year early in July. This year the almanac says the 3rd. And as July was always 8 month of heat and low water, when both people and animals got sick, it was natural that illness and disaster became associated with the Dog Star, and the July days were known as Dog Days" or "Canicular Days"
 Dogs Wrongly Blamed
 The poor doggies have paid a price through all the centuries, as being extra dangerous at this time. What 8 pity. They are in the same fix as ourselves because they get sick from many of the same causes.
 Just as we take extra precau- tions about our children's health in hot weather we should pay more attention to our pets. They suffer from heat and get sick on contaminated food, dirty water and turned milk.
 Rabies is the dread word, yet there is comparatively little hy- drophobia among dogs. Froth- ing at the mouth goes with worms approaching distemper, or, as with one dog we had, an infection fol- lowing an operation.
 There are two kinds of fits, the frothing kind and running fits, the latter usually caused by over- exercise and excitement. Froth- ing fits are caused by illness.
 Rabies is another matter. All dogs with rabies do not froth at the mouth. Usually they are strangely quiet, may roll their eyes and loll their tongues. An owner will recognize that something is radically wrong and take precau- tions. There is no cure, but Pasteur treatment may be given a bitten dog, as to a bitten child, to obviate danger.
 Give Lots of Water
 Lond haired dogs suffer from heat and get sick. Give them cool places to sleep and live. Give all dogs clean food, and plenty of fresh water. Change water often and wash out all dishes each day.
 So-called dog poisoning is less common than thought. Rotten meal and offal kills dogs, and the one left to scavenge for his food will probably die sooner or later from poison.
 Nurse your pet if he is sick. Get a veterinarian to identify his mal- ady. If the least suspicious, con- fine him carefully until you hear the verdict.
 Dog days" merely means hot days. Heat is hard on dogs, cats and canaries. Help them and don't over worry. All bites or scratches should have quick attention, just in case. Worm" dogs, even big ones, every so often. Many fine animal has been shot for rabies when good dose of germifuge was all he needed. They get the eggs from the ground, from other in- fected dogs.
