Ways to Use
Enough Milk
Manu-, Varied

For a family of four, says the
National Dairy Council, the
quantity of milk which their DR..
McCollum recommends amounts
to three quarts a day. By serv-
ing approximately one quart at
each meal, both in cooked foods
and as milk to drink, this
quantity is easily obtained and
at the same time the quality of
the meals is improved.
For example. the breakfast
cereal may be cooked in milk
rather than in water; this
renders it at once tastier and
more nutritious, and approx
mately a pint of milk will be
required to cook enough cereal
for four people. With milk used
on the cereal, and a glass Of
milk for each child to drink, a
quart of milk is consumed.
A hot creamed dish or cream
soup for lunch adds more milk
to the diet, and children should
again have milk or cocoa to
drink. A dairy dessert, such as
a custard or ice cream, is a
pleasant addition to the even
ing meal, and should be accom-.
panied by milk to drink. By
following such a plan, both chill,
dren and adults receive their
daily milk quota.

Beauty Counsel By Donna Grace

TNHIS column is meant for
l. every girl who likes to be dis
tinctive and admired but just
now we are thinking of the girls
past 80. From our experience
we find they are the ones who
seem to lose confidence in them
selves. They like to take it easy
and rest on their laurelS and
that is the first step in the
business Of slumping. You can't
slump and be beautiful and for
real attractiveness, you must
have a good figure.
You can be attractive and
have figure to be admired If
you will retain the alertness and
activity of youth and that way
is to exercise. We cans indulge
in all the childish games and
pranks of youth but there are
special exercises to bring all the
muscles into play and keep
them supple so the slowing up
Of middle age may be avoided.
While the screen beauties Of
Hollywood are all quite young,
they set a good example for
every girl who hopes to retain
the appearance of youth. They
exercise regularly every day
even though the work in the
studio calls for much endurance.
The secret of all reducing is
STRETCH. You know fat will
not accumulate where the mus
cleS are kept active and alive!
Naturally one must watch the
diet too as we can't exercise
enough to burn UP the excess
fat if we are going to overeat.
So be sure you have the right
diet and begin the day with
deep breathing and stretching
of all muscles. After the first
five minutes Of stretching all
the other movements will be
just fun and here are some to
start with.
Stand erect and kick as high
as you can with, the right leg.
Then raise the leg waist high, but
let the strain be on the muscles
and not from the swing Of the
kick. Alternate In this way
with 10 Of each movement:
then repeat with the left leg.

Public Response
Was Tremendous

I only mention this as an ex-
ample of how the public took us
and our struggles to their heart.
The fact that it was a warm
heart helped as much as any
thing to keep the children alive.
Certainly it put heart into us
many times when everything
seemed hopeless.
Death was never more than a
few seconds away, and facing
death over the incubatorS that
contained those five tiny forms
was a strain. But, as I have
said, just when we were diScour-
aged, sure enough from some
source or other would come just
the encouragement we needed to
keep us going.

Million Visit
CdLLdnder Annually

The past few years nearly a
million Americans have come
here to Callander to see the
quintuplets. Many Of them
have stayed a week or more
and have gone away convinced
that the border between the
two countries is really just an
imaginary line.
can never forget how the
public, particularly the Amer
lean public, helped us save the
Lives of the Dionne quintupletS.
Never will I forget what
newspapers did for us then. I
don't just mean that they
printed stories about what we
were doing. That they were
bound to do for it was news.
I mean the way they saw to it
that we received the supplies
that kept the children alive.

He Brought
Incubotors

Take the Chicago American
and the New York Journal
American for instance. Charlie
Blake, a writer, was sent up to
cover the story. But he wasn't
sent empty-handed. They told
him to bring with him an in
cubator such as hospitals use
for premature babies.
Modern electric mcubators
were common enough. He could
have bought any number OF
these. But there was no electric
power in the little cabin where
the five tots were struggling for
life. DIR. Bundesen, president OF
Chicago's Board of Health,
helped Charlie, and between
them they found an old-fash-
iened water-heated incubator.
In model it was a true antique,
but it was the most welcome
thing mad seen in many long
day. It was a great and impor-
tant factor in keeping the chill
dren alive.

their ability to market wisely

Visited Shouting
At Girl Scout House
The other day Mrs. Gertrude
Bowman invited me down to
the Girl Scout House, that thor
oughly adorable little house
where the girls have a chance
to show their skill, to see an in
formal show of clothes made by
the young ladies themselves.
The yellow satin dress in the
picture was the most pretentious
of the efforts promenaded be-
fore my amazed eyes. Velvet
flowers in shades of scarlet and
brown were an agreeable accent,
and had been chosen by Vir.
ginia Clark who made and de-
signed the entire gown.
Betty Rogers from Alice Deal
Junior High, especially likes de-
signing, and presents her crea-
tionS in handsome water-color
drawings, curled and coiffed to
the life.
Margaret Stephens, who is pie
tured stitching by the fire, has
a two-piece dress on that might
easily have come from the
sYnarteSt shop in town.
Takes Long Time
To Complete Dress
When asked how long it takes
to make a dress, Margaret said:
That's hard to say, because
none of us can sew very long at
q time. We sew in our work
period in school, and do some
at home when we find time from
our studies"
The girls all thought that q
month to two months was a good
conservative estimate of the
length of time required to make
q garment well.
Margaret said she didn't like
sewing plaquets, but she could
do it, and now she has just mas
tered the art Of putting IN .

The architects, according to a

which have set up bureaus to take
over work which more properly be-
longs to the architect in the field of
