friend to have doctor of your great influence not only advocate
 Here fairly cringed in fearful anticipation, but happily for me my old friend had not yet lamped the sourpuss article but, boy, when sbe does will some one please take me by the hand and tell me story all about bears and Indians so I can forget everything else for the nonce?
 not only advocate coffee as a beverage but give a recipe for making 1t.
 but to encourage the coffee habit, anathema, to noted health authorities, such as Dr. Kellogg, Dr. Jackson of Canada, and many others who declare emphatically ..
 Yes, I know some doctors can be pretty emphatic when they express their views and have no convincing practical evidence to support them. Remember how emphatic @ lot of them were twenty years ago about removing tonsils and teeth? They're remarkably quiet about that now.
 I can imagine youngsters (my own grandchildren among them) healthy and thriving on milk-food for babes and grown ups-saying, Mon. I'm old enough to drink coffee--Dr. Brady says 1t is all right for children and won't hurt anybody. ."
 And from that imaginary scene 1t Is but an easy step to the in- ference that or Doc Brady ap- proves of feeding infants on tea coffee, beer, wine, cocoa, whiskey or almost anything you have around the house.
 In my judgment coffee should not be given to children under six teen years of age. Various invalids had better seek advice from their physicians in regard to drinking coffee. For ordinary folk two or three cups of coffee daily, taken as a beverage, not to wash down un- masticated food, is generally rather beneficial. Of course a cupful of good coffee contains fair medi- cinal dose of caffeine (perhaps 1h to ? grains), and caffeine is stimu- lant to heart, brain, kidneys. Coffee taken late at night may keep you awake. But coffee after dinner in the evening cannot explain wake fitness more than four hours later.
 disagree cordially with any and all doctors or health authorities who teach that coffee is harmful to every one.
 regard coffee as beneficient beverage for the great majority of ordinary people.
 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS | Left-Handed
 Son, II, partially left-handed Uses right hand for nearly every thing except writing. Had I better insist on him using it for writing too? (MrS. T. A. H)
 Answer-If he were my son I should not interfere. Rather en- courage him, by friendly contests in drawing circles, straight lines, etc., to use either hand-that is, com- pare his left-hand skill with your own, his right-hand skill with your own, etc.

Modern Menus
By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX (NEA Service Staff Writer)

A novelty cake with lots of choco- late, 0 maple sugar cream pie and a mound of rich ice cream-three sure- fire successes when your young sons and daughters ask the gang in. A football cake, with gridiron dec- oration in frosting will bring "whoops" from the lusty visitors. It's simple enough. Use plain and easy- to-make frosting and give it a sur- prise note by dash of peppermint flavor
 Chocolate Peppermint Icing Two squares of ursweetened choc- olate, l can sweetened condensed milk, 1 tablespoon water, few drops oil of peppermint or peppermint ex- tract.
 Melt chocolate in top of double boiler. Add sweetened condensed milk and stir over rapidly-boiling water 5 minutes, until mixture thickens. Remove from heat. Add water and peppermint. Cool. Spread on cold cake. When the chocolate frosting has set, trace white lines of gridiron, using plain sugar and water icing. For the party, get a few toy football players and arrange 8 goal post at both ends of cake. Young people enjoy things like this. And you will enjoy seeing the young crowd at your home. It makes life seem a little more stable.
 Maple Cream Pie
 your youthful guests to tell their
 This maple cream pie will cause mothers that you are the best cook in the neighborhood. Watch your own children swell with pride.

. MeKENNEY's BRIDGE QUIZ
Gorens Rule for Game Bid Shows Worth When Declarer
 Lacks Power
By WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY Secretary, American Contract
 Bridge League

By WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY
 Secretary, American Contract
 Bridge League
 This is the second of series oi six articles on the hand valuation system advocated by Charles Fl Goren, Philadelphia expert, in his book,, "Highlights of Winning Bridge" Goren is one of the out standing players of the country, the number one top-ranking player fol the 1938-39 season of national cham pionship play.
 The first rule of the simple val uation system devised by Goren is this: An opening bid faced by an opening bid usually produces game How this rule governs the bidding is shown in today's hand.
 After North's bid of two dia- monds, South makes minimum re- sponse by rebidding his spades, North holds an opening bid, in the face of South's opening bid, and should therefore resolve to go to game if a convenient "spot" can be found. The spades are playable, in view of South's rebid of the suit; hence North goes at once to four spades, as South would surely pass @ bid of three spades.
 The opening lead is won by the club king. South cashes the ace and king of trumps. then the ace and king of diamonds. rufing the third round. The ace of clubs gives re- entry to dummy to cash the two long diamonds on which South discards first a club and then q heart. It does not matter when East takes his queen of trumps; the defense wins only three tricks.

NEW HEATTNG PAD

Even the best of circuiations may fail to function adequately on long winter drive or at even the most exciting November football game. So it might be a good idea to provide oneself with one of the new chemical heating pads. Simply add a few drops of water to the chemical filler and heat is generated steadily for approximately enight hours. Pads are not bulky, are very inexpensive and refills are available at nominal cost.

Don't Envy Screen Stars Dress That Way Yourself
BY LUCIE NEVILLE (rSEA Service staff CorrespOndent)

(NEA Service staff Correspondent)
 Hollywood-In movies, the secre- tary always marries the boss. And fans say, "Iuhl No wonder, with the clothes she wears" But Hollywood's stars say the white-collar girls can dress as smartly if they'll use their eyes before they open their purses.
 Shop windows are free. Fash- ion magazines don't cost much. Or, included in the price of a movie, they can look at some of the simpl- est most individual office frocks-- designed by the same people who make glamor gowns for stars" says Joan Blondell.
 She has played probably more working g-girl roles than anybody in Hollywood reporters, sales-clerks, secretaries, switchboard operators. PROPER FIT
 IS ALL-IMPORTANT
 Now, as secretary to screen Mayor Jonathan Hale in Columbia's "The Incredible MT. Williams" she wears several studio-designed costumes that are good examples to working girls whose jobs demand smart clothes on medium budgets. One is a decidedly non-babyish jumper frock, another @ redingote in gay color, third is 8 dark crepe with full length center panel of lighter crepe.
 And they fitl" said Miss >Blondell. T don't care what 8 girl pays for an offlce dress, or what its material or color is-it ought to fit perfectly before she wears 1t in public. No, I didn't know that when was behind counters in New York department stores. snatched up cute little $3.98 numbers on my lunch hour and wore them the same evening.
 T got bright greens and beige and pink then-impractical shades Now like dark colors, because they're easier to vary with access sories.. And I think bosses and the rest of the office force get awfully tired of seeing the same dress every day. Not to mention its needing cleaning and repairing regularly. I would change outfits every day - even when had only two dresses.
 "Get simple ones - no bustles - and wear different jewelry or col- lars and cuffs. Jackets of any kind are good this year, and good any year in a chilly office. Instead of drab, long -sleeved sweaters, why not an angora bolero, a gay quilted short jacket, a warm-colored tweed coat or bright red flannel jacket with silver or brass buttons2
 And suits are swell, for different jackets, blouses and sweaters. One trick I use on suits is to knot two long chiffon scarves together-dot- ted ones or cerise and dusty blue. Put the knot at the back of the neck, cross the scarves in front, fas- ten them at the back with elastic a chiffon blouse for half @ dollarl"

 Generally speaking, a dry com plexion ought not to be washed witn soap and water oftener than once a day. The majority of dry-skinneo individuals use soap and water as night and cream for morning anu daytime cleansings. During summer months, light, quick-melting cleans ing creams are recommended, wnle heavier types may be more satis1ac- tory during cold weather.

 USE NATURAL SHADES
 There are various types of night creans-some to be left on while you sleep, some to be left on for only half an hour. Find one you like, then use 1t exactly according to di- rections, and use 1t every single night.
 The remaining money may be di- vided among rouge, lipstick, . pow der base, nail lacquer and some hand lotion. The powder base must match your skin. The hand lotion need not be expensive at all.
 Since you can have only one rouge and one lipstick, avoid exotic shades. Let the rouge be the color your cheeks become after violent ex- ercise and the lipstick the shade your lips would be If they were naturally bright instead of pale. Nail polish may match the lipstick or be of the same general color in a light CT shade.
