The art of looking cool and daintily
crisp regardless of the heat is one that
every woman may have if she will fol-
low few simple rules. The first rule
is cleanliness. To battle once a day in
warm soapy water is twice as i'm
portant during the hot weather as
during the cold. Cool tubs and cold
showers are fine, but warm water and
soap cannot be replaced by them. The
bath over, sprinkle yourself with dust
ing powder or cologne. Neither is ex-
pensive and each helps to keep cool and
dainty through the hot months.
Freshen your makeup often during
the summer. Wear your hair pushed a
little back from your face. Don't let
it billow around your neck and should
ers if you would look cool.
Use an under-arm nonperspirant at
least three times week. This is one
of the most important of all the rules.
Frocks that show perspiration stains are
most unsightly. Sprinkle the inside
of shoes and non-washable gloves with
a deodorant powder.
Change your hosiery and lingerie

IN TAKING outdoor pictures of
L people, are you careful to get the
"feel Of the season" into each pic
ture, by proper selection Of back
ground and surroundings?
An outdoor picture without such
feel" is like a stage without scenery
or, worse, with the wrong scenery.
For instance, some of us will take
a springtime shot of child in the
yard, with the garage or back steps
as background-when the child
could just as easily have been pic
tured kneeling beside row of jon
quils, bending over and shifting one.
In the latter case, how much more

|HOMEMAKER'S
QUESTION BOX.

Question-Does it pay to bake beans
at home when canned baked beans can
be purchased at Is cents for No. ~
can?
AnSwer-One pound of beans, soaked
and cooked, makes to 7 cups. Allow
ing 5 cents for beans, 5 cents for pork
and seasoning the cost of supplies
would be 10 cents. This amount would
be equivalent to 80 cents worth of
canned beans, leaving 20 cents for your
time and fuel.
QuestiOn-What is the difference be-
tween California and Oregon prunes?
Answer-The California pruneS are
sweeter, the skin is glossy and the meat
clings to the pit. The Oregon prunes
are tart and the pits are easily removed,
making this variety desirable for salads.
Question-What is meant by 2O-30
prunes?
Answer-Prunes are graded according
to size. Those graded 1924 are the
largest, 60-7O are medium, 110-12O are
the smallest. These numbers refer to
the NUMBER OF pruneS per pound.
QuestiOn-Which size prune is the
best buy?
Answer-That depends upon the way
you wish to serve them If you are
interested in using prune pulp, the
smaller sizes down to 9O-1OO's are the
cheapest.
QuestiOn-Which is the best buy at
this season, macaroni or potatoes?
AnSwer-Potatoes. One pound of po-
tatoes yields 800 calories and is good
source of iron and vitamin c. One
pound of macaroni yields 1900 calories
but no other food value. For II cents
the price of one pound of durum mac
aroni, you could purchase to II pounds
of potatoes yielding 240O to 5000 cal
cries.

Toy Balloon in
84O-MiLe Trip.

Blue Earth-A small toy balloon
filled with hydrogen trvelled $40 miles
in a straight line and probably covered
twice the distance in criss cross air
currents to land on the farm of John
B. Satire near Frost recently. The
small yellow balloon was dispatched
from Bozeman, Montana by Kenneth
Sharp, engineering student at Montana
State college, on April % and was first
noticed by Mr.. Satire on May /, caught
on fence wires near his farm home. A
note attached to the balloon gave in
structions to notify Mr.. Sharpe at Boze-
man. On the same day the Frost bal
loon was released young Sharp sent
another into the air which came to
earth just outside the Bozeman city
limits. He had given up hopes of hear
ing from his second two-for-a-nickel
balloon. In a letter written to Mr..
Satire the engineering student stated
the coincidental fact that he had been
born at Albert Lea, Minnesota, quite
near to where the balloon came to rest.
