RIGHT FOOD FOR
GOOD HEALTH
Your Health and Vitality De-
pends on Proper Food
and Right Amount
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER

The typical Delaware diet has
plenty of vitamin Q in the summer
time, but with the coming of win
ter the amount used by many fam
lilies decreases to level too low to
be safe.
Vitanin c is essential for health
and vitality at all ages. It is nee
essary for good teeth, healthy
gums, as well as resistance to GER
tain types of infection.
Prolonged lack of vitamin @ re-
suits in the deficiency disease
known as scurvy This disease
used to be the scourge of sailing
ships Since most of the good
sources of vitamin c are fresh and
highly perishible foods, the ordin-
ary sailors diet was low in this
factor. Sickness and resultant
death follow unrelieved scurvy. :
English sea captains discovered
that scurvy could be prevented by
a daily ration of fresh lines, and
so English seamen came to be
known as "limeys". Some Ameri-
can captains forced fresh onions
upon their crews, even at the point
of a gun.
Tomatoes and the citrus fruits
are among the richest sources of
vitamin G. That housewife is for
tunate who faces the winter with a
plentiful supply of canned toma-
toes upon her shelves. The grape
fruit juice which is being distribut-
ed by the Surplus Commodity Cor
poration is another good source OF
vitamin @.
Raw vegetables, except for to-
matoes, are richer in this vitamin
than cooked ones. The cooking
loss is minimized if the water is
rapidly boiling before the veget-
ables are added. The action of
boiling drives out the dissolved all
from the water, and the air in the
water increases the loss.
The longer vegetables are cook
ed, the greater the loss. The cook
who adds soda to keep the green
color has destroyed a considerable
quantity Of the vitamin c.
Most mothers now realize the
Importance of the baby's daily dose

member of the family need daily
quota of vitamin @ as much as the
baby Vegetables and fresh fruits
used generously everyday with

Wardens Will Be Loaned By

County Dog Quarantine
RULES TO BE AMPLIFIED

The State Board Of Agriculture
probably will meet tomorrow Fri
day to consider enforcement of the
dog quarantine in New Castle
County. Victor j. Carmine, execu-
tive secretary of the agriculture
board, said he had conferred with
Fred M Wright of Delmar, presi-
dent, and the board will consider
the offer of the State Board of
Game and Fish Commissioners, to
loan" its nine wardens for en-
forcement of quarantine regula-
tions. The game boards resolution
would permit deputizing of the
game wardens by the agriculture
on state health boards.
DR.. F. E. Smith, acting execu-
tive secretary of the health board,
said the offer of the game commits
sion was such that it very likely
will be accepted. In the meantime
wardens are continuing their pa
troll of the quarantined area. No
one is being arrested, but reports
of conditions will be given to the
agriculture and health boards.
Wilbert Rawley, president of the
game commissioners, said the
board will confer with the state
health and agriculture boards on
the quarantine.

cation has ordered a survey to de-
/ termine future needs Informed
by real estate sources" that build

Wilmington, decided that the sur
vey be made and reports presented
at later meeting. It was pointed
out that exceptional growth in any
school district might result in over
crowding. What steps will be TAX
en- to eliminate this result will be
decided after the survey is made.
Just how the survey will be made
was not announced by the board
but will probably be a census-tak-
ing process based on the plans of
proposed real estate developments.
The board points out that growth
of the section north of Wilmington
is at present undergoing an exten-
sive residential district develop
ment which might easily result in
overcrowded schools. The old For
wod School on Silverside Road
near Marsh Road, will be decided to
the Delaware Society for the Pres
ervation of Antiquities, the board
decided. The school, abandoned as
an institution at the close of the
last school year, was the oldest
school in use in the state at that
time. Transfer of property will be
made as soon as all legal arrange
ments are completed.
Transfer of properties in the
Sycamore and Wainwright school
districts in the Seaford area was
approved by the board. The mat
ter of supplying transportation to
and from Newark schools for chill
dren in the Eastburn Heights sec
tion was referred to Howard L.
Seaman and Philip D. Laird, mem
bers of the board from New Castle
County. The Eastburn Heights
ection was taken in by the COM
paratively new Conrad school dis
trict but many of the children
from that area still attend the

The advertiser is faced by the

Protect Hair
During the
Summer
Waterproof Cap
Now Available
For Swimmer
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

If you are going to do a lot of
swimming during your holidays your
hair becomes your chief beauty
problem-and it can be a pesky one!
Frequent duckings make a mess Of
it, and frequent shampoos and set
tings seem to be about the only So
luton.
You can, however, save yourself
lot of trouble if you will apply a
cream brilliantine, light wave set or
a tonic to your ends and pin them
up before putting on your swim
cap. You may do it at home and tie
a scarf around your head when
you go to the beach. If you use
tiny hairpins rather than curriers'
no one will know the difference.
Some girls wear one of those new
drawstring mesh affairs over their
tresses and under their caps. After
they finish their swim they loosen
their hair and let it fly free.
There are caps on the market
which are absolutely waterproof.
They are bit more difficult to put
on than most, but in the end your
hair beauty compensates for the
trouble you take. They have an in
ner head band of rubber, and the
outer rim or the cap has a suction
arrangement. Thus if little water
should get under the first section it
stays there and does not get on your
hair
Begin your holiday with the pur-
chase of a good cap, get a grand
permanent wave and carry along
with you hairbrush and some sort
OF dressing. Whenever you see the
ends getting brittle and dry anoint
them and brush them well. At night
set them with bit of cologne or
fresh water.
There is tendency to shampoo
your hair and have it set about
twice week, but remember that
the sun is taking its daily toll, and
you cannot sit under dryers so often.
Learn to rinse the salt water from
your hair with soft, fresh water
(brackish water won't do and after
1t has dried in the sun give it a
good brushing and roll the ends up
yourself.
With the brief curl hair style this
summer it is easier than ever to
keep our heads looking cared for
no need to go about looking like a
discarded hay mattress! Once in a
while a waterless shampoo may be
used between settings if you want
to look your best.
With the return of the hairnet
it is possible to set your hair pro-
fessionally, after washing it, and 70
about your pleasure with it snug
in a net. This permits the air and
sun to dry it and does not use UP
precious play hours in beauty par
lor. Naturally for big dates you will
want to 60 and get "the works.
shampoo, hair setting, facial and
manicure.
Speaking about facials, if you do
get them during the summer ask
the girl not to put any bleaching
preparation on your skin. Just give
it a thorough cleansing and lubri-
eating. You do not want to come
home with your face delicate flesh
while your neck and arms and legs
are decidedly showing up the hours
you spent under the sun!

Manners
of the
Moment

Men, I hear, are complaining
about our current feminine heeless,
toeless sandals. They say it's bad
enough to have to look at slightly
blackened ankles, when girls get
careless with their pedal extremi-
ties. But to have to look at grimy
heels and grimy toes is just too
much.
Now, Of course, that criticism pre-
supposes a careless girl. And I
know that none of us around here
is that careless If we wear a shoe
without heels and toes we see to it
that our stockings. or our bare feet
Gf we wear our shoes on them) are
spotless. After all, who do you think
we are?
But can We help it if a speck Of
dust blows up from the sidewalk?
And can we predict when our toe
is going to land in a little spot of
damp earth?
Gentlemen, be fair. You'll just
have to learn to appreciate a we'll
turned heel and toe, and overlook
the slight covering of dust that
accumulates during a walk. After
all, your ancestors had to learn
to appreciate well-turned ankles and
well-turned calves before they
thought them respectable. So I
rather think you'll come around to
liking well-turned heel and toe.
Well see. But bet win.
