-BEAUTx - - Gloufying Yourself
 Rv AHrsa Hart
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer

Step number one toward the achievement of that crisp as let tuce look" during summer months is resolution to take warm, soapy bath every night and tepid shower or quick dip in the tub each morning. Ridiculous cleanli- ness is the very first requisite of hot weather beauty.
 Between the morning dip or shower and the evening bath. do take time out from whatever kind of work you do to clean face, arms and neck and put on coat of fresh makeup. It's mistake to apply clean makeup on top of old at any time of year, but particularly bad for your skin as well as your ap- pearance to do it in the summer time.
 If your skin is quite oily, by all means find a greaSeless foundation lotion and use it before ~""H~r 4- rouge. If it's dry or j H-. you might like one of tn ..r.- dations in stick form. TT one of theatrical grease M they are softer and thel
 to apply. They come il : to match any compleXio f make powder stay on ft l hours.
 Step number two is { ) yourself to use an ar ...opirant as often as is necessary or else to have dress shields in every summer frock and to use a deodorant each morning. Anti-perspirants stop per spiration in the area over which they are applied. Deodorants remove odor but do not check perspiration. So with the latter, dress shields are in order. Be sure to use either eX- actly according to directions. If the label tells you to apply the anti persprant, let it dry and rinse it before going to bed.
 Step number three is seeing that white touches on dark sheers, white gloves, shoes and so on are absolute ly immaculate. Nothing so detractS from your attractiveness as a dusty, soiled white flower on your lapel or white shoes that aren't really white.
 Do put on clean stockings every morning and fresh underwear at least every other day. And if you cannot afford to have dresses dry cleaned as often as necessary, then get washable frocks instead of those which have to be cleaned. If you look cool, you'll feel fairly cool. Remember that, too.

POOR BLOOD AND POOR
 NERVES"

In the booklet Blood and Health" there are instructions for preparing and using a home made iron tonic for anemia. We can't take space to give the instructions here-send ten cents coin and a stamped addressed envelope not less than 4x6 inches and ask for Blood and Health" booklet.
 At least a third of all the re- ports sent in by readers who have tried the medicine refer to the nervine effects of the home made blood tonic. That is, they say it has strengthened my nerves" or T am not nervous any more." That is a reasonable effect of a blood tonic. It builds up the iron coloring matter. the hemoglobin in the red corpuscles, and the hemoglobin carries oxygen to the body cells, and anoxia or insufficient oxygen delivered to the body cells, particu- larly nerve or brain cells, is com- mon explanation for the symptoms popularly regarded as weak nerves or nervousness.
 The simple hypochromic anemia. commonest in women in the third decade, is due to nutritional defi- ciency, whether shortage in the iron intake or insufficient vitamin B to insure absorption and utili- zation of iron.
 All of the group of complaints recognized as manifestations of allergy, such as hay fever, asthma, migraine (periodic sick head aches,) hyperesthetic rhinitis, hives (urticaria), giant hives (angion- eurotic edema), in some case re- curing outbreaks of eczema or acne and in elderly persons form of tetany characterized by painful spasms or cramps in the legs, feet or wrists at night, are as logically nervous" troubles as is any ob- scure ailment that may be labelled "neurasthenia." Physicians have known for years the value of sup plementing the diet with calcium in one form or another in these cases, and in the past few years we have learned from experience that an adequate ration of vitamin D must accompany the calcium to in- sure the greatest effectiveness from the treatment.
 In Yankee land if you have a bit of murdering to do some busy body is likely to find fault with your work. This is annoying, but you can explain in court that your mind went blank or you saw red or black or just a dazzling glare

while. Women who have been mar ried thirty years still are pleased when their husbands say How about meeting me for lunch today?"-so imagine what the invitation does to a bride.
 Don't criticize her clothes. If you think she must have had a headache when she picked out the green dress, keep the suspicion to yourself. But tell her how pretty she looks in the blue one-and ill a few weeks, if you're observing, you'll probably notice that the green dress is hung in the back of her closet. You may even see the maid wearing it some time.
 Work out some plan whereby she either has a checking account or 8 personal allowance so that she doesn't have to ask you for small sums-or juggle the grocery money around SO that it covers picture shows, and manicures.
 Try not to become too attached to your easy chair so that you turn into an old man before you have to start having your hair cut short over the temples to hide the gray.
 Help Her to Help You
 If you want to feel free to bring guests home whenever it seems 1ilya orNI iIno lat Hav. l1v,N would like laissez faire regime.
 She won't be upset, as her mother would have been back in the days when a woman spent week getting ready for guests. In fact, she will probably have well-stocked emergency shelf - and will be glad of the chance to show you what smart girl you married.
 Talk to her about your busi- ness. Not just the obvious things like "Jones was in today"-but your plans. and hopes. and set- backs. And when you are con- sidering a change that will affect you both, talk 1t over with her. Give her 8 chance to share the outside world with you.
 Sometimes, after ten or fifteen years of marriage, a man secretly feels that his wife has let him down. That she hasn't kept up as she should.
 You will probably never know that feeling if you remember that in most cases the wife who falls behind her husband wasn't helped over the rough places, or encouraged to keep step.
