Passing a candy counter in

School. We don't haze much

DEITY wants the little dears
- to have as much candy as
the church elders can get for
the allotted money. She isn't 60
ing to be particular about it.
just so it is candy. Candy
makers recipes often show such
things as shellac, beeswax, min
eral oil, chalk, petroleum pro
ducts, phosphoric acids, syn
thetic butter, and imitation
chocolate commonly used in
commercial candy. All these
are designed to increase profit,
of course, without obvious harm
to the child who eats the candy.
Penny avoided chocolate candy
because some children are aller-
gic to it. Betty will not have to
worry if some of the Sunday
School children are so afflicted.
She figures they should know
better than to eat it If 1t harms
them.

Penny Wise:

AT a store selling quality

"PledSe let me see the Uhoze-
some candies you are making
particularly for children. / am
interested in wholesome fruit,
nlolaSSeS, or hard candies, 10ith
minimum of coloring, flavor, or
foreign substances"
DENNY recognizes that chill
i dren like candy and seeks
to buy that which, with guided
eating, will give as few undesir-
able after effects as possible.
She buys fruit candies because
they may be made of fresh or
dried fruits or juices and pure
sugar. She buys hard candies
because they are allowed to dis
solve slowly and do not de-
post a concentrated mass of
sugar in the stomach. While
some authorities believe that
slow candy eating causes tooth
decay, Penny chooses to believe
that it is a lesser evil. She gives
her own children candy at the
end of the meal, after they have
eaten their protective foods
such as milk, vegetables and
fruits. If they continue to
crave more and more she recon-
mends washing their teeth with
salt to relieve the desire for
more sweets.

Supply Extras

This vitamin isn't stored in
the body. It is up to the indi-
vidual, therefore, to make Ger.
tain that his body gets a steady
supply of it from his diet. Signs
of deficiency is often shown by
an upset digestive system, by
body rashes. The skin often
seems to thicken, often the
tongue and the mouth will be
sore and irritated. Children
are apt to show a loss in weight
and strength when there is a
deficiency in the vitamin. Very
often the child will look under
fed.
A large number of doctors
firmly believe that children
whose diet is strong in vitamin
BIZ will not contract infantile
paralysis. I can't say for certain
that this is the case, for
haven't noticed it particularly in
my practice, a. we do rot have
many cases here of this particu-
lar disease, and the people live
on simple homegrown food. But
I do know thiS-a child whose

tainly is in a much better posi-
ton to resist that and all other
diseases, and it is a very easy
precaution to take.
This vitamin BE-, or vitamin
3, has been called "the poor

commonly lacking in low-cost
diets. These diets often h. We

NeW Shade

NODDED hat made the face look

lips that talk! For the woman
who wears purple fuchsiaS, or

complexion challenge the tri-
umph of her new feminine

The smart women you do see
who know the lure OF blue red
lips will soon be wearing Prince
Matchabelli's luscious lipstick
hue BLACK CHERRY.
Rich and inviting as the first
bite of a black cherry is the
deep whey red of this shade.
Lighter on than it looks in the
stick, it has more blue than pur.
pie in it so that the teeth be-
come surprisingly white; the
skin so dazzingly fair. AS an
added virtue. it is one shade
that won't grow dim in night
light.

Drinker Destroys
His Health

I doubt whether drunkardS'
wives ever actually reform them.
The desire to be free from the
handicap of alcohol must come
from within. The drinker must
realize that he's destroying
health, and any chance of sue
cess or happiness. He must put
on the check-rein h in self,
though, of course, some women
are an immense help.
Chief among the causes of un-
happy marriage is over.indul-
gence in liquor. In it's wake
comes poverty, loss of respect.
and the transformation of even
the kindest men often into
brutes.
OF late years, the medical pro-
fession regards the drunkard
with a more lenient eye. It
seems to be agreed that he
doesn't drink from pure cussed-
ness. Liquor is his form of
escape. In certain Indian dia-
lects. where names stand for
characteristics, the drunkard is
known as "Man-Afraid-of- Him
self" He drinks to escape his
fear of something, even If he
can't define what causes his
fear.

the poorer people.
Pellagra is a disease which is
characterized by skin eruptions
and diarrhea; usually before
death takes the victim, there is
a history of a brain condition.
That great scientific foundation,
the Rockefeller Institute of New
York, spent a great deal of time
and money tracking down the
cause of the disease. They
found that, like beri-beri, pella-
gra is caused by deficiencies in
the diet.

Insufficient
Average Diet

They found that these people
of the South subsisted on a diet
composed of pork and corn
meal, for the most part. At
that time very little milk was
consumed, and vegetables we're
a scarce article. AS soon as
they got the people to drinking
milk, to growing and eating
vegetables, the ravages of pei
lagra we're reduced tremen-
dously.

found that it was lack of vita

scourage. Yet it is found in
fresh meat, milk, fish, veegta-

Snoods Popular
At Present

Speaking of heads and hoods
reminds us of Snoods, another
headgear fantasy that's sweep
ing the style scene, night and
day! These coarse meshed cap
affairs in bright tones that
completely envelop the back
locks appear daily at "21" and
at the Colony, come the fatal
hour of one. Louise Macy,
charming young fashion editor
of Harper's Bazaar, who'll de-
part shortly to manage that
magazines Paris office, was one
of the first to sponsor this
snood fashion, ordering them in
all colors to wear with dark day
outfits. They're heaven, she
tells us, for the working girl
who gets caught in jam every
now and then, and doesn't
make that hairdressing appoint
ment.
Wendy Iglehart, who changed
from windblown lovely" to a
soignee sophiscatc since join
ing the staff of Harper's Bazaar,
envelopes her long tresses in a
bright rec snood that looks par
ticularly CHEEKY with a sombre
black tweed coat.
Gloria Swanson goes in for q
rich gold-mesh evening snood;
pulling it far back on her head
with her loose-hanging locks
caught in the back cap. BY
Chri 7tmas all the bright young
things will be sporting evening
snoods flashed with brilliants:
that is. when their curls aren't
buried in great hoods. 1t looks
like the ostrich family and their
head-hiding popularity isn't
going to have anything on the
females of the human species
this season.

No Complaints
Were Wanted

And don't let us hear one
word of complaint from you
males. All winter long you've
been squawking about the hor-
rible upward hair-do's, and what
they did to the beauty of your
women. Well, these hoods solve
that problem perfectly! From
now on, you won't be able to
tell whether your girls hair is
coiffed high or low; in fact,
you'll hardly be able to tell
whether you're out with a
blonde, brunette or redhead.
And that's fun sometimes
guessing!

layer in a buttered baking pan,

a few bits of butter, a layer OF
tomatoes and another of bread
