ALCOHOL AND rLABBINEss


 Are potatoes fattening? Is milk fattening? Is bread fattening? Is candy fattening? Is beer fatten- ing? These questions, asked every day, cannot be answered satisfac- torily with an unqualified yes or no.
 Will the juice of a lemon in wa ter. taken on rising every morning, reduce? Do sweat baths reduce? Does massage reduce? Does very tight bandage, corset or harness of any kind reduce? An unqualified no answers all of these questions ex- cept the first. The lemon juice and vinegar notions require some further explanation.
 Whether any food or drink is fat tening or not depends on the cal- orics it yields, on the quantity you consume or can consume, and in a minor degree on the state of your particular metabolisn1 or oxidation process.
 Any one in fair state of health may increase or reduce his weight fifteen pounds in year or less by eating one more slice of bread and butter daily, or taking a glass of milk with bread or crackers daily, or by taking that much less feed than he ordinarily takes. But peo- pie are funny that way. Although they almost invariably accumulate excess gradually, not to exceed a pound or two month, when 1t comes to correcting overweight they almost invariably insist on losing the superfluous eight to ten times as rapidly as they gained it. Alcoholic beverages or liquors are hardly nourishing yet alcohol itself yields more calories to the ounce than lean meat or cheese does, less than butter. cream or other fat or oil does. For instance, an ounce of sugar or starch yields approximate ly no calories. An ounce of pure alcohol yields nearly 200 calories. An ounce of butter yields 225 call ories. An ounce of peanuts 160 cal- ories. An ounce of California wall nuts 205 calories. An ounce of cog mac, rum, brandy, whiskey, cordial or liqueur yields an average of 75 calorieS.
 The relation between an individ- ual's alcoholic intake and fiabbiness is not merely question of caloric value of the alcohol consumed. It

tOlo UkAO pdAO etSo related in the simple little book. A straight for ward, honest story. She thinks it may be of help to other parents faced with the same problem that she had.
 Very possibly 1t was an experi- ment to begin with, to see how Peter would react to the truth. His inter- est is probably of more importance than the story itself.
 If Peter could be so happy on hearing the truth so comfortingly and warmly told, it is safe to say that other children of like age would react just as favorably.
 The fourth year is a sort of re- birth time for all little people, any, way. It is the time they establish ego in earnest They begin to ana1yze their small world in terms of self and become conscious of themselves as real people, not imi- tators any longer, but free agents with will and a way. A happy time for all concerned if the little boy or girl is intelligently understood. OLDER CHILD'S EMOTIONS MIGHT BE UPSET
 I am glad to note that Dr. Was son has chosen this important time as the best to reveal the truth of birth. suppose it is equally wise to tell the adopted child even earlier than this, as many of my corre- spondents have done. But I, myself, have always favored waiting a little, not until the child is established too firmly in his belief of real par entage, but when he is still mobile enough in his emotions to accept the story contentedly.
 It seems that this small book is very important for that reason. Peter loved the story. Other "chos- en" children will do so, too, without much doublt.

PATTERN 7o5

PATTERN 705
 Whether your type" is frilly fem- mine or slickly tailor-made, Pattern 705 fits the bill. For Claire Tilden has designed it in two distinct ver- sions, equally smart for the woman Of mature years and figure. The back and front yoke is cut in one simple piece and there's wonderful fulness through shoulders and bo- dice-an important factor whether you're driving car or welding a broom. The palmer version sports two wide pockets, an attractively shaped collar and shirtwaist sleeves airily slashed. The dressier style has cool, open, summer-short sleeves and pretty neckline, both edged with crisp ruffling. Why not make both of these easy versions, one in cotton or gingham for house wear: the other in soft printed silk for afternoons out.
 Pattern 705 is cut in women's sizes S4, 36, 38, 40. 42, A. 46 and 48. Size 36 requires 7-8 yards 36 inch fabric.

is rather a question of the caps. acity to oxidize or burn the ale cohol in the body. That capacity is limited; normal persons can oxidize only fraction of an ounce, of alco- hol in a day. Steady or hafd drink CTS may oxidize two or three times as much alcohol as normal persons can. The physiological or pathological significance of these facts merits further consideration. Temperance, you know, is one of the seven keys to vite.
 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Potassium Chloride Some time ago you recommended | potassium chloride, five grains dis- solved in a glass of water, three times a day, for hives, hay fever, sinus trouble and other conditions due to allergy. This has proved mar- vellously effective against my hay fever. In fact I have never experi- enced such marked and prompt re- lief as I did from the first day of this medication. c. Al
 Answer-Thank you. It can do no harm to try in any case fo allergic trouble, including some cases of eczema. Be sure to get potassium chloride, not chlorate as some durg- gists have assured customers is the same thing. And be sure to take it dissolved in water, not a powder, capsule or tablet-five grains of po- tasium chloride dissolved in a glass; full of water is almost tasteles. It may be taken for a week or ten days, then stop for while. Another week or so of the medication from time to time if the trouble recurs. It is harmless.

NEA Service Stan Writer

 If her hair is short enough and her new permanent wave good enough. there's no reason why any woman--except one whose hands are .tall thumbs" cannot rearTange her coiffure between visits to the i,airdresser. Or, for that matter, wash and set it herself occasionally when she's far from beauty shop, or even when the idea of sitting under drier on a hot day is just too much to consider.
 GOOD RESULTS
 COME WITH PRACTICE
 Naturally, sile can't expect to create new hair-do for herself or, after a home set and shampoo, have her curls and waves as handsome as they become at the hands of an experienced operator. But, with few little curriers', a comb with tail on one end of it, and a good hairnet, she can do pretty well at that. Especially in a season when it's smart to look comfortably and casually turned out.
 For the not-too- large girl whose features are not heavy, 8 baby" coiffure cannot be beat. And it's an easy one to do at home. The hair is cut until it is about two inches long all over the head, then close-to- -the-scalp permanent is given. Afterward, tiny ringlets are arranged. When dry, these are brushed upward, then coaxed back into loose curls by brushing over the finger.
 For a casual, but slightly more dignified hair-do, a looser perma- nent is advised. The top of the hair is left flat and unwaved. The ends are finished in soft curls.
 YOUR HAIRDRESSER
 WILL HELP YOU
 The thing to do, of course, is to be quite frank with the man who cuts your hair and gives you a permanent. Tell him that you in- tend to set your own hair now and then during the summer months. Tell him just how good you are at pushing waves into place, winding up struggling ends, or just how awkward. Ask him to spend ten minutes showing and teaching you how to find where the first wave should go, how to fix brushed-over- the-finger curls, how dry your hair should be before you begin setting it, how to tie net on properly.
 Then be willing to spend a little time learning to follow his instruc- tions. You probably never will be an expert finger waver, but, with an excellent permanent as a founda- tion, you undoubtedly can learn to do at least a semi-professional job.
