DIETETIC BREvITTES-

 One subject to hyperacidity, sour stomach, hyperchlohydria, heart burn, waterbrash, acid dyspepsia, peptic ulcer, should avoid vinegar, pickels, sour food, raw fruits, es- pecially apples, grapes and citrus fruits; soups and meat extractives such as consomme or bouillon; spices and condiments such as ex- cessive salt, pepper, mustard, hot sauces; concentrated sweets such as sugar, candy, honey, syrup, molasses; very coarse foods such as corn, bran, nuts, salad vege- tables; alcohol, especially sour wine, cider, grape juice and any alcoholic beverage before eating; tobacco, es- pecially before eating.
 As an anti-acid preferable to soda and other alkalis commonly used to relieve stomach acidity, calcium carbonate is recommended. Ten grains of calcium carbonate (otherwiSe known as precipitated chalk or prepared chalk) is the average dose and this dose, taken as powder or in tablet form, will neutralize excessive acidity in the stomach for several hours, and may be repeated two or three times a day if desired. Unlike sodium bi- carbonate (soda saleratus( chalk does not disturb the acid-base bal- ance in the blood and tissues. Neither does it produce much gas (carbon dioxide) on reacting with acid in the stomach, as does sodium bicarbonate. Many sufferers find that an occasional dose of calcium carbonate gives grateful relief to distress from gas at least they ascribe it to gas. Where such an ant-acid is to be used for an in- definite period the chalk is far less objectionable than soda, magnesia and other alkalis often used for that purpose.
 Remember, digestion begins in the mouth. Unless you chew food well you can't expect to digest it well. If your masticating equip- ment is at all crippled, you had better loosen up and have the necessary restortations made. Den- tors are doctors only by courtesy q signally lack courtesy), but even so, I can assure you that bridge or other denture you can use for chewing, to fill that space where a tooth or two have been missing for years, will bring more relief to your digestive trouble than ten times the cost of the dentistry spent for medicines or fancy diets. With all your teeth in good work ing order, give 'em fair amount of work or exercise chewing fruits, vegetables, cereals. It doesn't mat ter much whether you gulp down meat, fish, fowl, egg in large pieces
 Normal folk should make it point to have a salad bowl or at least go in for a large and ap- petizing dish of salad every day as many raw vegetables and fruits as season, appetite and market af- ford. Some vinegar may be used in salad dressing, but lemon juice is always preferable, being food itself, and will be found even more pleasing if used in place of

Guess I'll put off dieting until tomorrow" sighs Mrs. Stout, weak ening at the sight of so many good ies.
 Come, come," smiles Sally Slim. ''No need to dread reducing. If you learn your calories as did, you can enjoy your food and still re gain your girlish figure"
 Simple to substitute tasty low-ca- lory treats for rich fattening ones. When you know a strawberry sun- dae has 250 calories, a piece of French pastry, 300 calories-you promptly say no to them. You choose fresh strawberries and powd- cred sugar, 60 calories-a delicious piece of sponge cake, 100 calories.
 And your regular meals can be as appetizing. Here's typical reduc- ing dinner-1 serving lean sirloin steak, 8 good helping of fresh as- paragus, baked stuffed tomato, a tasty cottage cheese salad with re- ducer's dressing, and for dessert a slice of fresh pineapple. Only 455 calories!
 Cut calories, lost 2 pounds a week comfortably! Our 32-page booklet gives A low-calory menus based on your vitamin, mineral re- quirements. Has calory chart, exer- cises, 3-day liquid diet to start re- ducing. How to gain, too.

 o. How may I clean bathroom and sink waste pipes?
 A. Ordinarily washing soda is strong enough to clean the pipes. The following proportions may be used: part Liquid" soda to 12 parts water, or 1 pound dry soda thoroughly dissolved in 3 gallons of boiling water. When stoppage is complete and a stronger cleaning solution is necessary; use caustic potash, taking care that it does not touch the hands. One pound of the crystals dissolved in quarts of wa- ter by stirring with a wooden stick should be poured down the drain. Caustic soda should not be used as it may unite with the grease and

 Cheese is concentrated food. It is as easy to digest, calory for calory, as any other food. It is not binding, just not as laxative as some other foods. No food fit to eat at all is binding. Used as a proper food, cheese of any kind is healthful. Prejudices against cheese are based on the unwarranted practice of serving cheese with pie when even the pie is probably so much excess nutriment: and on the distress offenders feel after having indulged in late supper or a feed they didn't need.
 QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
 Psychology
 AnxiouSly watching for some ex- pression of opinion on the testicu- lar hormones which are sweeping the country. (R. R. J)
 Answer-No fool like an fool. Tes- tosterone proprionate may or may not be absorbed through the un- broken skin-I'll believe it is when a scientifically controlled experiment. proves it--but the medical evidence indicates that, however administered it is of only limited value in certain cases of defective development. The credulity of people ignomant of phy- siology is marvellous. I still receive 8 score of inquiries monthly, as to the effects of salt peter, which has no more effect in one respect than drugs of legendary fame have in another.
 Poison Ivy
 Please give 8 recipe to prevent or relieve poisin ivy. (H. H.)
 Answer-Smea the exposed areas of skin with father just before contact or proximity to poison ivy. Or smear the skin with grease, gear grease or any grease before working or playing in the vicinity of poison ivy. Lotion for relief equal parts of official solution of iron perchlo- ride and alcohol -dabbed on the affected skin three or four times a day. Further details in booklet Save Your Skin"-for copy send twenty five cents coin and 1-cent-stamp- ed envelope bearing your address. This booklet deals with most com mon skin troubles and gives prac- tical information of preparing cos metics and other useful home medi- caments. Or send a stamped ad- dressed envelope and ask for the instructions for prevention and treatment of ivy poisoning.
 Lost . Penny
 Week ago tomorrow our two year old son swallowed a penny. So far he hasn't passed it. We have cut down on liquids and give him more solids and bread. He seems fine. What do you advise. Mrs. A. P.
 Answer-Probably the penny pass ed in a fecal mass within 48 hours. Tn such cases do not cut down on liquid, but feed the baby all the banana, potato and finely chopped vegetables the baby will eat for two or three days. If yau still worry, an X-ray examination by your doctor would determine whether the foreign body is lodged anywhere in the alimentary tract.

day. All they need to do to keep from fighting about that is to part company after three hours.
 She'll want to get in touch with the Joneses-and he'll say What for?" A telephone call just before they leave town ought to satisfy everybody-even the Joneses.
 He'll want to go to a ball game and she'll want to window shop. How about parting company again for 8 few hours?
 She'll want him to ask questions when they are lost, and he'll insist on relying on his masculine sense of direction. Why can't she do the asking, if she's wants to?
 Men and women have learned a lot about working together. But they still don't know very much about playing together.

GIOrifing Yourself
By Alicia Hart

 No woman is in a better position to tell other women how to achieve that "cameo look" than radio ac- tress Alice Frost. Miss Frost's like- ness has been carved on stone for modern jewelry pieces by famous cameo cutter.
 "The cameo look is achieved now, as it was in the 0O's by clean- l ing up blurring details which ob- scure the face and figure" says Miss Frost.
 Make your hair a smooth, shin- ing cap and aflttering foil for your face. Don't let 8 blurred hair-line, l! tousled curls or wisp tendrils spoil the otherwise clean-cut lines of your head"
 Alice Frost always rolls her own curls up at night, pushes the waves in place, sprays on light lacquer and wears net while she sleeps. In the morning, she puts clean guaze on clean hairbrush and brushes her hair for two or three minutes.
 "Avoid carelessness in putting on your makeup" the radio actress continues, Tor clean, mat-ike ef- feet, use waterproof foundation cream, then cream rouge, then pow der. After powdering, wiring g piece of cotton out of cold water and press it against face and throat. This removes the powdered look and achieves perfectly groomed but not made-up look.
 "See that your eyebrows are clear ly defined. Remove hairs which grow down on lids or across the nose between brows. Put drop of oil on mascara brush and brush brows after powder has been set and ip- stick applied. Try putting Ipstick on with a special brush and see how much more clearly defined the lines of your lips will be-"
 CLEAR UP"
 UNDERTAKINGS, TOO
 Miss Frost thinks also that bras sieres, girdles and slips should fit perfectly. And that the firstt wo can do lot to improve the struc- tural lines of the figure.
 Slips, of course, should be as well-fitted as dresses, because the effect of any gown is ruined by an under-garment which bulges or spirals around the body.

BabyS Gap, Bootees And Shoes

It is a simple matter and not a question of time when it comes to crocheting the small shoes, bootees and cap for the newborn baby. These items are new and decidedly easy to crochet. Working with a good quality of wool adds pleasure to an already worthwhile occupa- tion. The average crochet worker can complete one set in two hours time.

MY SPR rs DIARY

MY SPORTS DIARY
Monday mite the 18th we are going to play the
first volleyba1l game Of the season. From the few
practi have had would say team should DO
in very good shape by then.
Practice tuesday night was quite successful wi tn
many regulars showing up. Doris knew what she
doing when she decided to keep Tuesday night open
for our practice. For not having drilled ON voley-
ball tactics. the setups displayed Tuesday and
Thursday rather remarkable. The 1889 rules
were disturbing because had been taught to help
only the second serve. Now we are privileged to
help any and all serves but only three people may
handle the ball before It goes the net. Tt
was funny to how many couldn't remember and
either let the serve 60 crooked or four five
would touch the ball. In other words do quite
the contrary to what doing.
Thursday night Badminton took up most Of the
ming and my job Is somch simp1fied it isn't funny.
Most Of women know how to play and it isn't
necessary to correct them all the time. There
two courts going at the Same time. Both playing
double.
Later in the evening vol1eyball taken up
vigorously. Number two % to the 22 scored
by the number one team. Ne played new way--a
much better too the general opinion. The
game played until team reached 81 points.
Tt played in two Is minute halves with minutes
rest between halves. No doubt the game Will be
played that way In the future.
On the sidelines we had ping pong and shuttle
board played by those not wanting too strenuous
game, although ping pong is no tea party If it is
played the way it should be played.
