1 a rounded teaspoonful of saIeratus to the pint be a safe way? How long should it be boiled? Mrs. E. MacF.)
 Answer = Boil it for one minute in water or in the soda solution you describe. That will sterilize it.
 Save the Wrapper
 Mother began years ago using your skin lotion and we girls have both used it for years with great satisfaction. So now we want to have other recipes for formulas which I believe you have collected in your booklet "Save Your Skin." In our family pr. Brady's opinion or teaching is the last word on any question of health or hygiene. We wish you many, many years of con- tinued success. (Mrs. c. N. J)
 Answer-"Save Your Skin" is an 80-page manual on the more com- mon skin troubles, with recipes or formulas for remedies. "The Medi- cine Cupboard" is an 80-page man. ual on the home malicine chest and how to use 1t, with Family For- mulary containing recipes and di- rections for many home made rem- edies. For copy of either booklet send twenty-five cents coin and 8 full-size three-cent-stamped en- velope bearing your address. Air. Conditioning
 The humidifiers you recommends ed were a little beyond our reach. Last winter used shallow agate pans with plotting papper placed in them so that the paper hangs over the sides. These evaporated about gallon of water a day in each room, but were not decorative. The other day, shopping around, found the same kind you recommend in the 2 1-2 by 24 inch size-made of galvanized metal finished in silver bronze. Now we can enjoy the com- fort of air-conditioning at minircum expense, and these are not unsighi'y. Mrs. L. c. W.)
 Answer-Thank you, People seldom realize the value of humidifying the excessively dried out artificially heated air until they have tried ef- ficient humidifiers. Your description of the low-cost humidifiers suggests that they are efficient. If so, they cost about one-third as much as the least expensive kind have seen. To readers who wish instructions on humidifying. I am glad to send & monograph-inclose with your re. quest a three-cent-stamped envelope bearing your address.
 Ptosis
 Is is possible for a woman aged 20 with fallen stomach to bear chil- drenp Is 1t advisable for her to wear 8 girdle? I have had fallen stom- achG for three years. (Mrs P. c. M)
 Answer-Sometimes a girdle or supporter, applied before you get up in the morning and while you are lying on your back with hips raised, affords considerable relief when any of the abdominal structures sag. But regular daily exercises, sue has Nos. II, 12, 13 and IA of the Last Brady Symphony (for copy send ten cent coin and stamped envelope bearing your address), will give better results than artificial support in the long run. Then, too, you MUST accumu- late some fat and greater strength. Optimal ration of vitamin B complex to supplement your daily diet will help you do so. Such ptosis, sagging, falling or displacement of abdo- minal or pelvic organ need not inter- fere with childbirth.

.WOMAN,S REALM E
Glor6ing Yourself
Ry Alicia HaTt
YEA Service Stan Writer

NEA SerV1ce Stan Wr1Ger This is the time to renew your attention to grooming routines which the majority of women seem none too conscientious about during win- ter months.
 Care of the elbows, for instance. Unless you have been wearing even- ing gowns great deal, the chances are that you haven't been keeping your elbows as soft and smooth and white as they were last summer. Wouldn't is be an excellent idea to get them in perfect condition be- fore it's time to wear bathing suits and short-sleeved dresses?
 Ridiculous cleanliness is the num- Der one requisite of lovely elbows, of course. And this means scrubbing them with a little hand or nail brush at least one a day, than rub- ping them with a rough towel to remove bits of dry skin which tend to form a scaly surface.
 Elbows that are yellowish or otherwise discolored, may be bleach- ed with plain lemon juice. Rub them with half lemon or else pat them with cotton pads which have been dipped in the juice. In either case, let the juice dry, then rinse off with warm water and apply hand lotion or cream.
 You should, of course, use hand lotion on arms and elbows at least once a day. Once @ week, apply body oil or special hand cream or some of your regular night cream. Work the lubricant well into elbows and remove the surplus before going to bed.
 If your arms are too plump be- tween elbows and shoulders, better do some special exercises to elim- mate excess weight and make the muscles youthfully firm again.
 One of the best of these simu- lates the arm action of the breast stroke used in swimming. Do it this way
 Stand with feet slightly apart, head up, backbone straight and arms outstretched in front at shoulder level with palms facing each other. Now turn palms out ward, tighten arm muscles and swing arms slowly outward to sides. Keeping them at shoulder level, try to force them backward even furth- CT. Make believe that yo ucan touch palms together behind your back. You cannot, of course, but trying to makes arm muscles stronger. Repeat ten times.
 Now stretch arms outward to hides. Keeping them at shoulder level describe small circles your hands. Keep on making little circles until forearm muscles seem slightly tired. Then stop.
 Remember that while 1t is quite possible to lose weight by diet alone, it is much more sensible to do special reducing exercises while you are dieting. Exercise and exercise only keeps the muscles supple, the skin firm with satiny texture. If you manage to take off 8 considerable number of pounds, arms will no doubt be thinner, too. But if you accomplish the job by eating practically nothing instead of eating very little and exercising regularly, the chances re that arms will look soft and flabby and thin mot firm, slender and perfectly rounded.

just as attractive. She can sub- stitute poise for limitless vitality, smartness for the dewy eyed look, and real conversation for the Tine" that has become too young for her.
 If she's really smart, she'll make something of herself-whether she's married or single, and not just de- pend on being nice to get her where she wants to go.
 Furthermore, she'll realize that she can't ever let herself depend entirely on other people for her own enjoyment. And that neither friends nor 6 husband can lift her with their successes. Whatever she is, and wherever she gets, has to be of her own doing.
 The girl without looks realizes all this when she is young. But the girl with beauty usually does not know what she is up against until the beauty begins to wear a little thin.

right. He said, T was brought up in the country. We had to hustle day and night to keep alive, and we got used to seeing things get hurt and die. Death was sad, but we thought 1t inevitable. Some way we always knew that trouble was just around the corner, all the time, and when 1t came in spite of all we could do, we made the best of 1t.
 Nowadays, with all this cod ding and sheltering, kids and old CT folks have 1t too easy. They make too much of things that don't count. Youngsters 'bellyache' when they can't go to show and have to study their lessons. Then they screech if they don't pass. They expect some sort Of pow WOW to save them"
 I wonder just how far we have been travelling down the wrong road, or if we are on the wrong road at all. Children are being sheltered more and more each year. They meet up with trouble aplenty, of course. For childhood Is not all happiness. The problems they have are just as serious to them as our own are to us. But are we con- ditioning them to meet their own troubles?
 A little boys dog was killed. His mother concealed the fact. He hunted all over town for his stray pet. Another dog was found and given to the boy. He soon loved this dog as much as he had loved Spot. His mother said, "No doubt some farmer found him in his car. Spot would ride in anybody's car. And you know he loved the coun- try so much. He is all right, so don't worry any more"

WRINKLES SPELL NUTRITIONAI
 DEFICIENCY
 Can the mere addition of suit- able iodin ration to the ordinary plan of living or the restoration of an optional supply of vitamins to the everyday diet, or both together bring back natural color to hair that is turning gray2 ask the question You answer it. refuse to answer on the ground that it might tend to make my teachings seem prepos- terous to some of you pessimists and you know, most prematurely aged folk are rather pessimistic-or maybe it is vice versa.
 All I shall say about preventing hair from turning gray or bringing the natural color back to gray hair is that a good many correspondents have assured me that the iodin ra- ton, or the optimal vitamin in- take, or both, have not only stopped the hair from turning gray but have apparently restored some of the natural color, and I am credulous enough to believe there may be something in it. Anyway, ] do know that neither the iodin ra- tion nor the optimal vitamin intake can do any harm in any case.
 Although not yet ready to go on record concerning restoring nat lral color to gray hair, unhesi- tatingly say that the prematurely aging individual who will adopt and follow consistently a correc- tive regimen (which will be duly outlined in succeeding articles) may reasonably expect to achieve more or less rejuvenation, physical and physiological.
 Wrinkles in the skin are l1niver- sally regarded as a sign of old age But some persons have more wrin- kles at thirty or thirty-five than others have at twice the age. Age alone cannot explain wrinkles. The actual cause of wrinkles is nutri- tional deficiency, particularly, in my opinion, deficiency of the vita- min B-2 (vitamin G, ribof1avin) factor in the vitamin B complex. ACpCdt, Illio 10 IhClCly Aly OplllOll
 A great many silly girls have &C., quired a fine assortment of wrinkles by freak dieting" for the purpose of reducing. They're determined to acquire that gaunt appearance even if they have to live off the panicu- Jus, and that is why they get the wrinkles. The paniculus adiposus is the blanket of fat everybody wears just under the skin. It is poor con- ductor of heat and hence it protects against too rapid cooling and against extremely hot weather. It serves as 8 protective pad against mechanical injuries. It provides a bed for the blood vessels, lympha- tics and nerves of the skin, for the hair follicles and for the sebaceous or oil glands and ducts and the sweat glands, as well as the man. mary glands. It gives roundness, smoothness and beauty to the out line of the figure. When the fat of the panniculus is consumed or wasted (atrophied) the normal fur rows in the skin are exaggerated and new creases or wrinkles appear
