Nancy goes along. She sits in the back seat and gets restless. She is tired of looking at farm houses and barns. She leans over their shoul- ders. The ladies are talking about things she cannot understand.
 Mrs. Holmes is in the middle of telling how sure she is that Luel- ia Pepys and her husband are not getting along. And Nancy speaks up and says, T got hundred in spelling. Daddy said he would give me a quarter"

Glorifing Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Stan Writer

Keeping your hair, face and fig- ure youthfully attractive needn't be the grueiling job you sometimes think after reading an impressive list of dos and don'ts. The absolute. ly necessary dos are simple ones.
 For instance, if you massage hand lotion into your hands each time after washing them or hav- ing them in water, they'll stay smooth and soft. No two ways about it-they will. But you can't cheat, using hand lotion only once or twice Q day.
 If you brush your hair i've nights e week and have 1t washed at least every ten days, 1t won't be too dry or too oily or full of fiecks of dry cuticle or anything else unpleasant. It will be lovely and that's all there is to 1t providing, of course, your general health Is up to par.
 unless you have something or- ganically wrong with you, in which case you ought to have medical care, 1t will be pretty fine if you get enough sleep and rest every day, eat sensibly and take an adequate amount of exercise regularly. Good health depends on good health habits. And that is all there is to that.
 Take your real ailments to doc- tor. Take care of yourself the rest of the time and you won't have many minor complaints or sallow skin or bad figure.
 If you eat lightly at breakfast and lunch and have only one por- ton of everything on the dinner menu and never eat between meals, you won't gain more and more weight as the years go on.
 Good health, which means excel- lent circulation, scrupulous cleanli- ness, which means thorough night and morning cleansings. and strict adherence to the rule about never putting fresh makeup on over stale. are important to the beauty of your skin. Night cream will ward of fine lines around the eyes and necklace rings on the throat.

 New Whether you want to refurnish completely room or two, replace c few old pieces or merely add c new coffee table to your pres ent decor, this is the time to do 1t. Smart shoppers buy furniture in rebruary-the month of furniture sales.
 This year, there's an especially handsome array of stunning lit- tie tables, any of which will make Q room not only more attractive, but Q great deal more oomfort- able. The man who remarked that he'd rather stand than have to sit in 0 chair which didn't have a little table beside 1t had something there.
 Furthermore, one prominent dec- orator maintains that no one can offer lack of space as an excuse for not having every chair in 0 living room placed within easy reach of a table of some kind. If you haven't space for the chair and c narrow, rectangular table, then you prob- ably haven't space for the chair.

 In one particularly nice living room the walls are pale, cloud- blue with lines of rust, green, straw and deeper blue that give subtle plaid effect.

 Incidentally, along with interest ing furniture sales, February brings newsworthy reductions in upholstery departments.
 If you have any idea that slip covers are for summer use only, or that they seldom fit neatly and snugly, thereby giving an uphol- stered effect, it's probably because you haven't looked ct slip covers recently.

PREDHABETIC OBESITY

0N pREDfABET1C OBESITY
 More than 2.ooo or s,o9A patients over twenty years of age who had diabetes were obese.
 Some overweight people live as long as fifty or sixth years and never develop diabetes, but any adult past thirty who becomes more than ten per cent overweight has Q good chance to develop diabetes ct forty unless he or she adopts and faith- fully follows . rational, physiological system or plan of weight control.
 Many persons with diabetes have been obese for years before they dis- cover they have diabetes. The dis- covery Is made when some general symptom such as puritus. (itching without apparent cause), plyuria (excessive kidney secretion) or poly dipsia (constant thirst or poly- phagia (excessive eating, especially for starchy foods and sweets) brings the patient under medical observa- tion--and even then, of course, only when the physician insists on routine urinalysis as part of the examina- ton.
 It is difacult to determine whether there is an actual increase in the prevalence of diabetes today, as the mounting national per capita con- sumption of sugar and refined cereal foods--all vitamin-poor as they are calory-rich-would seem to favor Other factors are changing, too. phy. sioians are employing methods of precision in diagnosis today more than ever before; patients are seek ing medical examination and advice In earlier stages of insidious chronic disease than was customary In the past.
 Recent studies indicate that in nearly oil cases of ten per cent or more excess weight that has been present for as long as ten years there is impaired carbohydrate toler- ance, inoapacity to utilize carbohy. drate, hyperglyeenia, high blood sugar. That state is regarded by many physicians as c pre-diabetic state. Yet Is clears up If and when the patient adopts and follows faith fully reasonable, sensible, physi- ological reduction regimen-no freak dieting nor fasting but . scientific schedule of eating which embraces the essentials of nutrition.
 Several times I have referred to vitamin B as "poor mans insulin," Vitamin D is the most important vitafnin lacking in refined carbohy- drate food (starchy feeds, sugars) which constitute the greater portion of the calories in the average Amer ican diet. People who arc getting fat or remaining fat should Do es- pecially careful to supplement their everyday diet with vitamin D com- plex. Tn my opinion this will not only help to prevent the develop- ment of diabetes but 1t will improve nutrition and aid in the normal utilization of carbohydrate and tend to overcome or correct the poly phagia or abnormal cravng for excess food and SO make reduction of over- weight and control of weight easier Fair daily.raton would be the amount of vitamin B complex you get in four ounces of wheat germ.

lar possessions and the Panama
Canal which would be completely
open to aggression but for our
navy.
At present the navy is building
a larger number of ships than have
been constructed for a number of
years. With several wars in vari-
Gus parts of the world it is only
natural that the American people
should be interested in their de-
lenses. 1t is not possible to i'm
provise a navy after the outbreak

NAVY DAY
Navy Day, celebrated on October
9th, was inaugurated in 1922 and
its observance is sponsored annu-
ally by the Navy league. The pur-
pose is to foster a better under
standing of the navy and its work.
The public, ordinarily, see the navy
only when ships are in port for
brief periods of rest. They do not
see the navy at work when officer
and crew are maintaining watches
at sea and in foreign waters.
Navy Day celebrates the 164th
birthday of the United States navy.
1t Is the anniversary of the day
when the first resolution was intro
duced in the continental congress
on October q, It's, to authorize
the building or naval vessels for
the defense Of the colonies. Octo-
Der 9th is also the birthday Of
President Theodore Roosevelt who
realized the necessity for adequate
protection for our country and
world commerce, and who was re-
sponsible for the beginning of a
navy second to none, and destined
to become the strong right arm
of a rich nation.
Shops if the United States navy
have protected not only our own
shores but also American lives and
property in all corners of the globe.
Our gunboats carry the stars and
stripes two Thousand miles up the
Yangtze river in China to ensure
the safety Of American citizens.
We need navy because of the
vast interests requiring protection
on, and across the oceans. Ameri-
can business on the ocean is truly
a big business. In normal years
the value of this sea-borne COM
merce amounts to nearly fourteen
thousand million dollars. Besides
sea-borne commerce we have other
