 What l say in the monograph Instructions for Taking an Iodin Ration" (copy of which will be mailed on request if you ask for 1t and enclose three-cent-stamped envelope bearing your address-do not send clipping), in reference to hardening of the arteries, is this:
 Aduts may not show goitre as manifestation of iodin shortage, but instead a chronic tired feeling and lack of usual or former an- bition, energy or pep, with little refreshment from rest or @ vaca- ton, tendency toward accumula- ton of flabby, excess weight, de- pression of spirits or melancholia. premature aging, graying and fall- ing of the hair, poor circulation (cold hands and feeD, mental tor DOT. A suitable iodin ration, say @ drop or two of tincture of iodine in water each day in each third month (for instance during January, April July, October) or a drop or two in water once or twice week the year around, often works magic in these circumstances and may pre- vent high blood pressure or post- pone hardening of the arteries.

WOMAN,S REALM
Glorifing Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer

NEA Service Stan Wr1ter
 Experts agree that woman is no younger than her walk. If you, on your thirtieth birthday, are deter mined that your steps shall remain light and graceful through the years, begin now to do limbering, stretching, posture and walking yes, walking-exercises regularly.
 A protruding stomach, a thick diaphragm and a sunken chest will make any woman seem years older than she is. By all means learn to stand with stomach pulled in, chest high, shoulders square but not held stiffly and backbone in as straight a line as possible. An exaggerated hollow in the center of the spinal column is the most prevalent cause of bad posture.
 You can do this exercise in an elevator, while standing beside the telephone waiting for a number in fact, any time you happen to be near a fiat wall and have Q few spare minutes:
 Stand about ten inches away from the wall. Now lean backward toward the wall, making the cen- ter of your backbone touch 1t. In the beginning, don't try to make shoulders touch the flat surface. Concentrate on pressing the middle of your spine against 1t. Feel stom- ach fiatten, chest become higher, hips seem narrower. Hold the posi- ton a second or two. Relax and re- peat. Pretty soon, you'll be able to make all of your backbone, except the very end of 1t, touch the wall. End of spine should be tilted up- ward and forward away from the wall.
 After you have done the exercise several times, try to walk as you were standing. It won't be easy at first, but, later on, you'll wonder how you were comfortable during the days when your posture was so dreadful.
 Walk Briskly
 Don't walk from knee joints alone, holding upper part of the legs and lips quite rigid. Your legs should swing from your hips. Keep the upper half of your body pulled up and away from hipbones.
 For long, brisk walks (and they are important, don't wear high heels. If you do wear high heels most of the time, put on fiat ones or just go barefooted when you're alone in your room. Otherwise, muscles in the backs of your legs are likely to become permanently shortened.

 Oracle feels sorry for the young English actress who has been given the part of Scarlett O'Hara. She wonders how she'll ever be able to turn her "oh, so proper boarding school training" into the roughneck appeal of Scarlett.
 But back where we started-to the Englishwoman's sense of humor. You gather that Queen Mary doesn't share 1t. For Miss Fields says that once when she was singing a song beautifully, but belying its serious ness with the pastures of full chested opera singer, Queen Mary was bit upset.
 Why do you spoil such beau- tiful song by being funny?' she asked the woman who gets paid more than any English actress for being able to do just that.

RAISING A FAMILY

All Cheating Is Cheating
 And None of It Is Cute"
By Olive Roberts Ba ion

Why do you count on the honesty of other people and then resent 1t when they catch you up? They won't play with you or have any, thing to do with you If you get the reputation of slick or unfair play Now think. Do you want people to like you and respect you? Some day 1t will be the dearest thing in the world to you. If you lose 1t you can never, never get 1t back
 It is quite important to show children that they must play games fairly And that they must not take advantage of opportu- nity to gain a secret victory.
 It begins very often in early childhood. The child sees that those around him make no criti- cism. He gets a little more careless or less scrupulous. He finds in time that the end justifies the means. Or SO he thinks. But any such tac- tics should be immediately and firmly discouraged, for the childs own good and for his own precious future.

 Dissolve prepared aspic in boil ing tomato juice. Add lemon juice and cold tomato juice. Chill un- til 1t begins to thicken, then add remaining ingredients. Mold in individual molds and chill until firm. Serve on lettuce with may onnaise or French dressing.

 Mother, you recognize these ex- amples If you have 6 child or two with such easy ideas of fairness. Sometimes they know very well that 1t is wrong, but again they lose sight of the verities through sheer carelessness. Or, as l have said, they have some inner excite ,oent or moments temptation that ,>>r~ do not realize as being a LempUation.
 It is another of our character weaKeners. We should spot 1t and salt the weed before 1t goes too far.
 Cheating is second cousin and often full brother to stealing. It does not sound nice. The little innocence slips of childhood, laugh ed at and pardoned, at the mo- ment, should be discouraged.

Household Hints
Speaker BankheadS Wife, No70 Painter
 Herself Edits Q ChriSty Portrait
BY GERRY DICK NEA Service Staff Writer

Washington. - Washington has discovered an artist in its official midst.
 The artist is Mrs. William Bank head, wife of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, A com bination of circumstances featuring Howard Chandled Christy and lazy summer day in Alabama is part of the story.
 Mrs. Bankhead is very modest about her until recently unsus- pected talent
 It seems that two years ago MT. Bankhead commissioned Christy to do portrait of his wife. While Mrs. Bankhead was sitting for her portrait it fascinated her to watch Christy at work.
 When the portrait was finished the artist presented Speaker Bank head with a set of oil paints similar to the one he had used. Mr. Bank head amused himself by daubing a little with his new plaything, was quickly bored and put it away.
 The next summer at home in Jasper, Ala, Mrs. Bankhead came across the neglected set of paints. It was one of those aimless sunny afternoons, and she decided she would try her hand at this artist business.
 She set up her easel on the back lawn and went to work. The white frame Cape Cod cottage of her next door neighbor served as a model.
 When MT Christy saw the com- pleted painting he encouraged Mrs. Bankhead to keep at it.'
 Since then she has worked with water colors and pastels. Consider ing that Mrs. Bankhead never had lesson in drawing, composition or the use of colors, her friends think her work is amazingly good:
 But she doesn't take herself se- riously as an artist. Perhaps she thinks that with the Speakers daughter Tallulah on the stage the family is "arty" enough al- ready.
 Mrs. Bankhead has. however, developed enough confidence to make a correction of MT. Christy's s work. Her friends thought the artists portrait of her was too pale to be natural. So Mrs. Bank head with true feminine artistry, touched it up bit with lipstick.
