Household Hints
GIorifing Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Stan Writer


 A Fifth avenue coiffure expert who specializes in smart hairdo's which really can be rearranged at home thinks that this certainly is the time to sound again the old warning about the importance of NOT following blindly every new fad or fashion:
 "No woman should walk into 8 beauty shop and demand a baby coiffure simply because she has read that baby cultures are new and different. Or because some very young, very tiny model in a fashion picture looked stunning ir this kind of hairdress.
 "She ought to consider careful ly her own type and discuss her hair problems with hairdresser in whom she has great faith be- fore deciding to have a baby coiffure or an upswept or com- bination up-and-down or any, thing else for that matter"
 Then he went on to talk about the types of women who can wear the different varieties of hair styles discussed at the moment.
 "A young, rather small girl with small features and an elderly woman, also small with gray or white hair and delicate features, are the two types which seem to me to be fiattered by the baby coifure," he explained.
 T like upswept coif1ures on the round-faced. Certainly they add height and therefore should be con- sidered by the woman who wants to make herself appear taller.
 "The long bob has place in the hair style picture. It's perfect for the tall and angular. And 1t cer- tainly will do much to make less ob- vious the fact that your neck is too long or that your face is very long and narrow, or that your jaw line is too prominent"
 He concluded by repeating that there certainly is the right coiffure for every woman. And he thinks that is up to the individual to de- eide for herself which type she should wear, instead of choosing hair style simply because "they" are wearing 1t or because "they" say it's important this season.

QUESTION and ANSWERS
 Canker Sores.

SdHACA 0VkCbs
 What is the cause of white canker sores in the mouth? Are they con- tagious, as by kissing or drinking from a cup rinsed only with cold water or using spoon rinsed with tepid water as in most soda foun- tains? CT. RD
 Answer-Shush, Shush, child, the health department will be annoyed if you imply that the regulations are not enforced. Sores in the mouth due to Vincent's angina, or to syphilis, might be spread in the way you mention. Ordinary canker sores are not. Infection, perhaps from carious teeth or bad tonsils, slight injuries as by careless use of toothbrush or by hot food or drink, are factors. Touch each canker sore once daily with equal parts tincture iodine and glycerine. Many times daily use warm solution tea spoonful boric acid in water to rinse mouth.

on. It wore you to the bone trying to convince Mrs. Bucks that the house you are trying to sell her is more becoming because it has pink bathroom instead of yellow one"
 Well, all right. I'm not tired, Pin an apron on me see if I care. Go ahead, son and daughter of mine, and let your father do all the sissy work in the house."
 So father helped mother wipe six plates, broke cup, spilled the breakfast cream and threw ciga- ret stub in the dishpan. Upon which she let him go and finished the rest herself.
 But that was not the end of 1t. The idea that he had been impress ed into service ranked in MT. Sells mind. He made up his mind to re- main haughtily aloof from any more entanglements of the sort. So the next evening he gave them a lecture on the duties of young people. They must always put their mother first. She had to have all the consideration they could give her. One only had one mother. A father had to provide and he was too awkward about household things to be of service. He depended on them to save their mother in every way they could. A little fatigue should not interfere.
 Bad Habits, Too
 Both James and Betty listened well. Neither looked at the other. For, although they admired their father, they had noticed certain discrepancies in his own habits. "It burns me up," James had said, "the way he climbs in car and lets mother open her door and get in the best way she can. He doesn't do it with other people.
 T know" Betty had said. But men are like that. He loves mother"
 "So do we. But why doesn't he, give her a break himself, when he's so all-fired set on us being decent about things?"
 But they only said now, "Yes. dad" and ''No, father" quite po- litely, so he was not to know that his children were as observant of his falling as he was of their. A point for both fathers and mothers to note.

SHIELD AGAINST SHARP WINDS

On unexpectedly cool spring and fall days lightweight coats and suits may not be sufficient to ward of penetrating breeses. For the ex- tra bit of warmth that spells com- fort use a new shoulder shield to srap inside the back of suit jacket or coat. The shield is wool lined, covered with rayon satin and cut and shaped not to interfere with the svelte lines of your costume. The colors are navy, beige and black.

OFFICE INDIAN AFFAIRS
 SUPPORTS ALASKA TU-
 BERCULOSIS ASSOCIATION

The Office of Indian Affairs is enthusiastically supporting the campaign against tuberculosis which the Alaska Tuberculosis Association is carrying with the funds realized from the sale of Christmas Seals.
 Incidence of tuberculosis has been found to be higher among the native peoples in Alaska than among the whites in the same area. Present hospital and field nursing facilities are insufficient to care adequately for all known cases.
 Extensive plans for increasing facilities are under way, but de- velopment of these plans which include hospital construction is necessarily a slow process The problem of providing best pos sible care in the interim is being attacked by concentrated efforts of community leaders and teach CTS as well as Medical and nurs- ing personnel. In this connection valuable assistance is afforded by the Alaska Tuberculosis ASso- citation, especially in providing facilities for diagnosis of early cases and it's cooperation in sup plying valuable literature.
 The onset of tuberculosis is in sidious. Early cases can be diag- nosed only on the basis of x-ray findings. The program conducted by the Alaska Tuberculosis As sociation which has provided x-ray equipment and services of specialists to travel into remote areas on case finding projects is of immeasurable value in indicat ing where greatest needs lie and
The Nome nugget., 1939-01-02

in suggesting programs to be fol lowed Early diagnosis, early and continued care, will help to solve the problem.
 Perhaps most important of all the activities of the Alaska Tu- berculosis Association is their year-round educational program Literature covering various phas es of the tuberculosis problem has been prepared by experts and is available for the use of nurses, teachers, clubs and other public agencies for the purpose of community education. The movie films put out by the Ma tional Tuberculosis Association are especially valuable for use in Alaska. The Iso-type charts, about 30 of which are available through the cooperation of the Alaska Tuberculosis Association, the Territorial Health Depart ment and the Office of Indian Affairs, speak for themselves and are especially graphic. They are constructed in such a way that their appeal is universal, to the old and young, the educated and the uneducated. These are just samples of the education pro- gram of the Alaska Tuberculosis Association. By means of the knowledge and advice dissemin- ated in this manner, the person already infected with tubercul- osis can, if he will, cure himself, protect his family and the pub- lie infection; in turn the other members of the family can learn how to care for the sick person and yet protect themselves from contracting the disease.
 This service is made available to the people of Alaska through your purchase of Christmas Seals. Ninety five cents of each dollar stays in Alaska. The other
