quick growing tree and some bushes, to make shade and sooth- ing greenery?
 Shade Comes Cheap Go to the city market, or tree nursery, and you will be surprised at the low cost of saplings and shrubs. You won't have any Charter Oak this year, but with half decent ground and care, it is surprising how much foliage de- velops in a year or two. Willows, if you have damp ground, and often if you haven't, will grow very fast, and soon be as large as your house. If porches are not screened, and the children use them for play rooms, there are innumerable vines to be planted. Morning glories sel- dom fail, and all they need are a few strings. Woodbine, or Virginia Creeper, loves a strip of wire-net (chicken fence) to cling to. It is cheap and grows well. Moon-vine, Dutchman's-pipe, honeysuckle, gourd- -vine-oh, so many varieties, grow well and keep the sun out. Shade in the summer is priceless.
 There are so many ugly yards in our cities, crying for little at tention, that I believe the listless citizen would be repaid if he went a-shopping. Once I got several dozen privet shoots for nineteen cents, that grew several feet tall in two years. also bought two bush -honeysuckles for few cents apiece.
 Plants and trees need plenty to water, and that's about all, except perhaps the earth loosened around them once in awhile.
 Keep the children off the street, by fixing up the yard.

 Whether you have started to ac- quire a suntan or not, this is the time to change your makeup. A new lipstick, in richer, deeper shade, nail lacquer to brighten up dark sheers and daytime prints, powder to give your complexion a rosy, healthy glow, rouge to harmonize with your natural blood tones and your lipstick are smart ideas with which to greet summer.
 For the fair skinned, there are a new Coronation pink ipStick with rouge (dry or cream) to match, peach powder with rose lights in it and some clear rose nail polish. The medium brunette who has been wearing plain rachel pow der and medium rouge and hpStick is sure to get lift from rose beige powder and rouge and lipstick with purplish instead of orange under tones. For a change now and then, one who owns navy outfit with wine accessories might wear wine lipstick and fairly dark rouge. Green and blue mascara certainly never should be worn in the day. time, but, for evening. one of these might be worth a trial. A young blue-eyed stage star always tints her lashes bright blue for evening, and several screen actresses like green mascara for evening.
 Naturally, it is mistake to strive for bizarre effects, but is almost as big mistake to get into a rut as far as cosmetics are concerned. Have several nail lacquers-one ladylike, subdued shade for general wear and three or four smoky and bright ones to wear with specific costumes. Once the summer sun starts to turn your skin darker, try organism rouge and lipstick and rust nail polish. You'll need darker powder, too, and do be sure to use soften ing cream every night to counteract the drying effects of exposure to bright sunshine.
 NEXT: Stretching for beauty.

Your Children
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Clean up the yard and the garden, so that the children will have a sanitary and safe place to play.
 Go out personally, and remove all bits of glass, crockery, rusty iron and nails, and fasten down loose boards. Splinters, too, cause trouble, so it will pay you to re- move rough, unplaned boards or have them shaved off.
 It pays to beautify a lot, and to have grass, flowers and shade trees. But it also pays to remember that children need space to run and to dig.
 Part of each family yard should be the children'S own. It seems so selfish to fill up every inch of available ground with pansy beds, geraniums, and velvet lawn, then expect the children to pussy-foot around them, or play on the street.
 Make An Outdoor Gym
 In each yard there should be a few exercisers, if possible. A swing, see-saw, sand-pile and sliding board, or whatever the purse may stand.
 Neighbors should make a pact, and agree that each others children will be welcome on the premises. This diversifies activities, and keeps them out of harms way.
 Nothing is so discouraging, or alarming, as to see group of children playing out on common ground, the sidewalk, because par ents are unwilling to have the grass tramped or the roses molested.
 There should be enough room in almost any yard for boys to do amateur carpenter work, carry out little experiments.
 If the property is your own, or you are longtime tenant, and there is no shade, why not plant a

food for most of the calorieS in the daily meals-food which is ready to wolf and neither requires nor deserves mastication; food which has been robbed of most of its natu- ral minerals and vitamins. What proportion of your daily diet con- Sists of natural unrefined foods from which nothing has been re- moved?
 Social demands are responsible for much overeating-food is urged upon us at all times of the day and night whether we need it or want it or not, and it requires unusual strength of character to avoid more or less overindulgence under these circumstances.
 The habit of taking three meals a day or four meals day, which is all right for active, growing chill dren and for those who do honest work, is not the best habit for many sedentary folk who would be better off with two or 2 1-2 meals day, breakfast and evening meal. Habit also leads many into eating dessert after a full and more than adequate meal-the lest defensible overeat- ing. In the past year or two the equally bad habit of serving hors doeuvres or appetizers as they are ironically called, along with alcoholic beverages, just before a hearty meal, has aged many victim five or ten years.
 HOdgins Disease
 What is Hodgin's Disease? Does it affect children or adults? Is it contagious? Can it be cured? (Mrs. M. F.)
 Answer-Ch Chronic inflammatory enlargement of lymph nodes and spleen, commonly associated with a malignant condition of liver and kidneys, the cause of which is un- known. X-ray treatment is only remedy that has proved of any value.
 Fatty Tumors
 What to do for fatty tumors and what causes them. I am 43 years old Had three cut out ten years ago. Now have about 25 of them on dif- ferent parts of body, some just ap- parent under the skin, one or two the size of walnuts. (H. D.
 Answer-The cause of simple tum- ors or malignant tumors (cancers) is not known. Only remedy for fatty tumor is surgical removal, which can usually be done under local an- esthesia. Aside from the annoyance and unsightliness of such fatty tum- ors, they are harmless.
 Leg Cramps
 Suffered tortures in bed every morning from leg cramps. Took cal- cium lactate as suggested in your column. Had marvellous results. The cramps promptly ceased. Can stretch n1y legs in comfort now when I awake mornings. Age 68. Had two stage prostate operations three years ago. Thank you for much comfort. (M. c. O
 Answer-Does no harm in any case to try calcium lactate for such distressing leg cramps. Take ten grains three times daily, after meals, for a week or so from time to time.

DEGENERATION AND REGEN-
 ERATION

DEGENERATION AND REGEN-
 ERATION
 How old are you, I mean in tis- sues not in years. If you are a bit stale, prematurely senile, if you feel chronically tired-aw, shucks, after all this is still a health column. Let us omit the symptoms and assume for purpose of instruction that you are wee bit too old, aging too fast, drifting into the early stage of cardiovascular degeneration. Over- eating is probably an important cause of your plight, and fast eat ing is responsible for most overeat- ing.
 Snatching meal in a few min- utes where at least twenty minutes is necessary for proper eating, is a habit that makes many individuals prematurely old. Alas, this bad ha- bit is acquired at home in many in- stances, because in some homes parents fail to establish the arbi- trary rule that every one shall re- main at table at least twenty min- utes whether he needs that much time to eat or not. This rule is an excellent one in the health training of children. Every member of the family must not only remain at table twenty minutes, but of course must be clean and properly dressed and use good manners while eating
 Check over these factors in your own case, reader. It will do you nc harm to survey your eating habits Nasty eating is first. Second is in- sufficient mastication of solid foods which require mastication (meat fowl, fish requires less mastication of course, than vegetables, fruits grains, nuts). Too often masticatior is deficient because one or more teeth are decayed and neglected, ol one or more teeth are missing and not replaced with Intentionally use- full artificial teeth-from motives of ignorance of hygiene or poverty or both.
 Third factor of degeneration is the modern custom of using refined

 Paris - CU.P) - Vacation time is approaching and the big French couturiers are bustling with orders for beach and cruise clothes. The most important thing about holiday clothes is to make sure that they will not suffer from constant pack ing and unpacking. Fragile organ dies. sheer linens and other delicate summer materials are beautiful but impractical as they crush too easily.
 Most of the dress houses here are showing trousers, rather than slacks for beach and cruise clothes. They are of flannel and worn with light weight striped jersey sweaters, Navy blue and grey are shown and pm striped flannel in pastel shades IS considered smart for the trousers.
 Sweaters are usually in a darker color than the trousers. Floppy- brimmed hats of rough straw, uSu- ally without crowns, are shown to shade the eyes as well as smart lit tie starched pique hats with visor like front brims.
 Tailored suits of white washable material that is easily laundered al- ways are smart. Pique, ribbed or waffle design, white alpaca and heavy uncrushable linen are prac- tical. These suits usually are worn with tailored blouses of linen navy blue, brown or black trimmed with big white buttons.
 Informal evenings on board a boat call for something a little dressier, and an ankle length cock tail ensemble of white pique or alpaca fills the bill. The fitted jack ct is waist-length and has broad revers. It is worn over various vests of striped or printed linen. Chiffon is good for formal wear as it does not Wrinke badly,
