RAISING A FAMILY

Not once does this child have
any unpleasant job to do, or any

to be done with her hands. She can't

The slight of the kitchen after a
meal upsets her. She uses the other
door entirely Finicky and useless,
and it's not her fault.
So-we have the extremes. This
is bad in both cases. One girl a

justified, in the other not so. Yet
the effect is the same.
Mix experiences of children. Make
them a blend of work and play, Of
problems and protection, OF respon-

It is essential for girls to grow up
with a wholesome regard for home

BEAIJTY
-BEAUTY-
Clarifying
Yourself
BY Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer

Unless her skin happens to be abb
normally oily, the most Important
beauty preparation on the mature
woman's dressing table is a jar OF
rich night cream. 1t may be called
by any one of half dozen names.
But, regardless of its name, it ought
to be a rich cream which. unless
she doesn't mind sleeping with IT on
her skin, is quickly absorbed.
Dryness is a prevalent cause of
lines and wrinkles and crow's-feet.
Naturally, one who applies night
cream every single night, pats and
smooths it in according to the best
known methods and allows 1t to re-
main on for at least fifteen minutes,
isn't likely to be bothered with an
excessively dry condition. Now and
then, or about three times week
won't do, however. Night cream
should be used every night.
In addition, exercises to keep IA
cial muscles firm and young are i'm
portant. Chewing gum--chewing 1t
vigorously with mouth open-while
you're in the bathtub or reading the
evening paper in your own room Is
not a bad idea Making faces at
yourself in the mirror helps, too
That is, if you make faces with cor
ners of the mouth turned up and
forehead smooth.

any other time, for that matter.
Ward off vertical lines between eye
brows by remembering no to frown
and by patting night cream into
that area every night. And don't lift
your eyebrows too high or too often.
That will put horizontal lines across
the forehead all too soon.
Don't forget to use cold skin

with cold, cold water at night after
you have cleansed them properly
Daily stimulation of circulation is as
important a beauty ritual for any

Washington.-Th average indi-
vidual in the United States con-
sumes about 100 pounds of sugar o
year. But the sugar refineries do not
process all the sugar to be con-
sumed during year at one time.
They try to keep their plants oper-
ating steadily through four seasons.
If, therefore, those women who
fear sudden shortage of sugar be-
cause of war conditions rush out
and buy at one time all the sugar
their families would normally use
during 1865 days, they Immediately
cause a shortage of stocks on hand.
This runs up prices.
We have vast supplies of sugar
in the United States and have no
reason to fear shortage because
of the war nj Europe. Prices until
September had been SO abnormally
low because of the over-abundance
of sugar supplies that unless the
price had gone up a reasonable
amount, the sugar industry might
have been dangerously harmed.
PLENTY TO EAT
DURING NEXT WAR
Our national supplies of food are
at high peak. There is no need
for fear of scarcity. That condition
did not prevail at the beginning Of
the World War in 1914, but it does
prevail today at the beginning of
the new war in Europe.
How much food will each
member of your family eat dur
ing the entire year which begins
today? Figure it out roughly.
Now study the following list of
food supplies which will be
available to each of the esti-
mated 31,243 900 people in the
U. S. during the year 1939-1940.
