GlorUying Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Stan Writer

NEA Service Stan Wfiter
 The smart woman's Easter ward- robe budget Is a nice combination of beauty and fashion. Instead of planning to spend every cent she has on exterior decoration, she al- lows a reasonable portion of ready cash for items that do not show but which will make those which do a lot more flattering.
 For example, she wouldn't dream of paying SO much for dresses and a suit that nothing If left for new foundation garment. She knows that even the most expensive ensemble won't be as becoming as is possi- ble for 1t to be unless her figure Is nodded to trim, firm lines by a proper girdle or all.in-one. Unless you are no more than size i2, have perfect posture and muscles as firm and hard as e football players you need foundation garment. Fur thermore, 1t ought to be fitted as carefully as your tailored suit. Don't buy girdles in hit-and-miss fashion. Ask for a filter and discuss your figure problems with her.
 Also, if every slip you own is toe long, why not devote one evening to shortening each one? You can't feel and therefore look your best if there are knots or safety pins in your slip straps. Or if you have "adjusted" them until the top of the slip peeps out at the neckline of your dress and, in addition, cuts into flesh under arms.
 If getting an expensive suit means that you'll have to get along without new shoes and have @ just so-so hat, by all means get a cheaper suit and spend a reasonable amount on ac- cessories. You've heard it before. but it's worth repeating, that &C., cessories make or break a costume.
 Somewhere on the shopping list allow for jar of special night cream or the new hairbrush you've been meaning to get. Give your new clothes a chance to do something for you. They can't do much If your skin is lined and dry and sal- low for want of nightly creamings or if your hair is stringy and life- less for want of nightly brushing.

Sarah wants Sue along so she (Sarah) won't feel so alone when the boat pulls out Sue Is simply social insurance. With Sue at her elbow, she won't risk getting that awful feeling that everyone is notic- ing her aloneness.
 What Sarah doesn't realize is that having people notice that girl all by herself" Is the best start she can have. Everyone is interested in a girl travelling alone. Even in this day and age, she has bit of mys- tery about her. Simply because most single girls are afraid of starting on c vacation without the social sup port of another girl.
 Aside from being more inter- esting than the girl who Is ac- companied by the inevitable friend the girl who takes . cruise by her self is more easily approached,
 An attractive girl sitting alone in a deck chair won't be sitting alone very long. Not if there are any unattached or temporarily un- attached men on board,
 But two attractive girls can sit for hours hoping for Q little ex- citement and not get a nibble, sim ply because they seem sufiicient un- to themselves. And it's easier for . man to approach one girl and make conversation, than to go up to two and try to think of something to say. Besides, most men only know how to fiirt with one girl at a time,
 The girl who has saved up enough money to go vacationing in roman- tic places is Q smart girl-but not very smart if she drags another girl along.

numerous grades of flour which are quite satisfactory for most baking purposes, under such names as whole wheat, entire wheat, graham flour. etc., and these are second only to plain wheat in vitamin and mineral value.
 In survey of the nutritive value of bread made by Baker, Wright, M. D., and Drummond tJour. soc. Chem. Ind, 56,lslT. leSO the au- thors traced the increasing use ot white flour to the introduction of the silk bolting cloth in lS40 and ot roller mills in 1870 to gratisfy pop ular demand. They estimated that as consequence of the greater re- finement of wheat in the milling of modern white four "the best fed members of the population today. although getting twice as much vita- min Bl as people on a low income level, probably get less vitamin R1 than the parish poor of the eight- eenth and earlier nineteenth cen. turieS."
 From these facts three practical inferences may be drawn:
 1. It is a good health habit for every one to keep in the pantry a stock of plain wheat and use it in various dishes in the daily dietary. I have . monograph, "Wheat to Eat" which gives detailed informa- tion, recipes, and reasons for re- storing wheat to the everyday diet flor Q copy of this send 3 cent stamped envelope bearing your ad- dress, Ask for it-do not send a clipping,
 ?. As a matter of real economy and good eating . peck O wheat and a coffee mill or other home grinder to crack or grind it is Q fine investment for any family,
 5. Governmental or private orga- nizations in the administration Of relief ought to make certain that . reasonable proportion of the weekly allowance shall go for plain wheat as Q fundamental or basic reQuire- ment for good nutrition,
 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Foods Rich tn Vitamin R
 Please mention some of the foods that are rich in vitamin B, Also where the wheat germ you recom- mend can be obtained, (M, l.. S9
 Answer-Plain wheat, wheat bran. wheat germ, brown (mpolishedl rice, liver, fresh milk, evapovated milk, dried milk, practically all fresh vegetables and fresh fruits, Wheat Germ may be bought from mills here and there if the miller will bother to catch a few pounds out for you. Some food stores and drug stores have 1t in one or two pound cartons.
 Eye Drops
 Please let me know if the use of 10 per cent argyrol Is harmful to the eyes. I find it very good but doc- tors do not seem to approve. Miss R. N1
 Answer - It Is comparatively harmless, but surely not beneficial for the eyes unless there is Q specific infection which requires treatment.
 So Am
 Daughter, aged (, is still terribly afraid to take Q bath. The mere mention of it makes her turn blue and puts her nito highly nervous state which results in vomiting. Have tried everything to pacify her, in vain. Mrs. E, S S1
 Answer-A bath is not necessary. Let her have an air bath. and dry rub with a nice soft warm towel in- stead, When summer comes, give her an opportunity to play with the garden hose and run under the spray of it with her playmates,

 Young people have a horror Of | ing thought duds. They lie awake nights trying to think up original cracks. They study their slang with more care than their Latin or French. To be week behind the times and use all outmoded term makes them hicks. So they think. They practice on phrases like cooled of" or dead, and bitten in the arm for being in love, or taking an interest in somebody. Some- times 1t is "shot in the arm. Ne:.s week 1t will be something else. Pitching woo" and carry ing a torch" are as ancient as sparkling" or "spooning."

 But somewhere along the line they should be learning the art of listening.
 Quiet girls and boys are often popular. The ckatterbox who won't listen is often very unpop- ulai. A boy likes a girl to listen to what he says. And girl likes a boy to hear her out, without interrupting about his team af- fairs and what the coach said.
 Often, too, in this scramble for a place on the stage, things are said that hurt. They are meant to be witty and to bring 6 laugh to the credit of the teller. The object of amusemnet is not inten- tionally being jeered at. He is merely chosen as a stooge to bring out the sparkle of the star. Too bad.

 Animals or birds fed exclusively with ordinary white bread cannot long survive. They develop weak ness of Q progress character analo- gous with beriberi tmultiple neuri- tis) in man, This, as we know now, is due to insufficient vitamin B.
 Animals ar birds fed exclusively with plain wheat, the unbroken grain or the cracked, ground or milled grain from which nothing has been removed, can survive inde- finitely, and do not develop the weakness called berlberi. This Is be- cause wheat is rich in vitamin B.
 Nearly all of the vitamin B (in- deed the vitamin B complex, which includes Bi and B2 or c and sev- eral other entities) Is contained in the germ and in the bran of the wheat kernel, and in the process of milling refined white patent" flour the bran and the germ portions are removed by bolting.
