I enough water is evaporated daily
 -as a rule fifteen or twenty gall Ions daily is moderate require- ment in house of average size - the atmosphere will be most com fortable for all occupants if the temperature is not permitted to rise above 70. preferably kept between 65 and 68 degrees F.
 Proper humidifying of artificially heated air in dwelling, office, store or other building, Is definite builder of vite. Remember. vite means: Preservation of the charac. teristics of youth .. greater pep :. more vitality |. the highest degree of natural immunity. ."
 This attention to proper humid flying. in my opinion. really does tend to maintain natural immunity against cri (kree)-any and all of the Common Respiratory Infec- tions, by keeping the mucous mem- brane lining the respiratory tract in a more nearly normal state.
 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Something To Retard Wrinkles
 Can you suggest some cream or other cosmetic for a middle aged woman to use to retard the coming of wrinkles, flabbiness and other telltale signs of age? co. W. D.
 Answer-Avoid soap and water use plain freshly made cold cream or pure olive oil or the special skin oil formula given in Save Your Skin," for cleaning the skin. To re- tard coming or wrinkles and sagging and flabbiness, take two miles of oxygen on the hoof three times . day and an optional ration of vita mins B-complex and D to supple ment the daily diet. Save Your Skin" is 80-page booklet dealing with common skin and complexion troubles, giving recipes for many edies and cosmetics. For copy send 25 cents coin and stamped envelope bearing your address.
 Saccharin
 In recent reply to query you stated that up to five grains of sac- charin daily is harmless. have been using saccharin for years, usu- ally two half-grain tablets to a cup of coffee. Some days I have used more than five grains. Understand from my physician that its effect is harmless as long as it is dissolved in a large quantity of liquid. (R. L. K) Answer--Your physician is right. merely mentioned the conclusion reached by investigators twenty years ago--that up to five grains daily may be used with impunity. How much more than that one may safely take, have no idea. If l wanted six or eight grains day. or on occas onai days, I'd not hesitate to use 1t.
 Diathermy
 Appreciate your advice as Co whether a fihroid growth on the tcnsil would be stimulated by dia- therfay treatments.
 Answer-P Probably electro-coagu- lation (diathermy extirpationl in the hands of q physician skilled in the technique would take care of the growth along with the tonsil. Protected by John ?. Dille Co1

THE MELANCOLY DAYS
 HAVE GONE

Perhaps they were melancholy days a hundred years ago. What with automatic heat control and air conditioning and everything they are comparatively cheerful days now, don't you think? Well then. if you still insist they are melancholy you can hop in the bus and travel southwest for @ week or so, or ride the train for two or three days, or fly for few hours and be right back in summer, any time.
 Even if you have to stay on the job all winter there is simple way to keep the days from being too melancholy and the nights from being too trying throughout the winter. refer to air conditioning. If an efficient system or equipment for the purpose is not built in your abode or your place of occupation, you can install simple, practical efficient humidifier in each or every room where any kind of heating Is used. This is the important part of air-conditioning - adding sufficient moisture to the air which becomes excessively dried out by any form of artificial heating.
 It is not only for physical com fort and good nature that it Is worth while. Another benefit, less manifest until you've had season of experience with 1t, is the re. lief proper humidifying of the heated air brings to one with any kind of chronic respiratory trouble such as rhinitis, sinusitis, bron- chitis, laryngitis, and the increase in natural immunity to acute re- spiratory infections.
 Such humidifiers are now obtain- able in almost any place, or a man handy with tools can build his own. The thing consists of a metal box or tank with a metal top or cover to exclude dust but with ample openings at the sides for free passage of air. A wire frame supports many folds or loops of absorbent wicking or material like turkish toweling which hangs over the wire so that many loops dip into the water. The box or tank stands on radiator, register, heat CT or stove. and evaporates @ gall lon or more of water daily. When

Entertaining Is a Delight For The Hostess
Who Gets These Presents
ALL DESIGNED
 TO MAKE LIVING MORE GRACIOUS
BY MARIAN YOUNG

NEA Service Staff Correspondent New York--The newest and most exciting Christmas gifts for the home were created to make enter taining easier as well as more gra- cious. The outstanding items in the vast array of home gifts are guaranteed to inspire even recluse to pay off her social obligations promptly and then go on to in- viting new acquaintances in for 6 cup of tea or a bit of dinner.
 Table linens are especially at- tractive with '9apkins," the new shaped napkins, creating quite 2 stir. Instead of being square, these are oblong.
 Hand . painted, hand hemmed cloths of pure linen damask are simply lovely. So Is . luncheon set of white linen with white or- gandy inserts. On . dark table, the design stands out boldly against the wood.
 Also new In the luncheon cloth field are sturdy textured linens with . contrasting woven design stimulating Swedish hand weav- ing.
 CONVENIENT
 SERVICE TRAY
 Sure to please any hostess is a cocktail tray of hammered alum mum which comes with eight sand- wich Or canape plates, each with a holder for glass. The plates slide under the tray into clips which hold them securely when the tray Is lift ed by the center handle.
 An ash tray which may be used on 0 table or raised to chair height is a fine idea. A telescop- ing standard under the ash tray does the trick.
 For the dining table where en- tertaining should be at its best, there are dozens of new types of decorations. Lily candles, lighted and floating in . crystal bowl, make a smart centerpiecc. So docs . glass vase in . low bowl. The bowl may be filled with fruit or leaves, the vase with flowers. Or they may be used separately.
 An hors d'oeuvres dish in glass, shaped like q fish, has a huge, block letter monogram in the center of 1t. A candle snuffer, in the shape of 2 miniature knights helmet, complete with feathers, is charming. A pair of salt and pepper shakers are min- ute replicas of sun dials.
 Among the loveliest items for making the guest room place of comfort as well as e thing of beauty are: tailored satin blanket covers with monograms feet long; 8 quilted wastebasket with a calico bow insert; a Victorian dressing table with "hearts and flowers" motif around the rectan- gular mirror; a brush, comb and mirror set is quaintly Victorian with sentimental notices around the glass of the mirror.
 A smoking set, including glass tray, slender table lighter and two glass compartments for cigarettes, would be smart on any hostess coffee table. The base of . chic lamp Is hollow crystal bowl In which flowers, fresh or otherwise may be kept. The shade is wash able, hand painted silk.

at all.
 Simplicity is wise. And, as 1t hap pens, you can't go wrong these days in keeping any juvenile wardrobe as simple and utilitarian as a dish- pan. Indeed, except for very spe- cial occasions, the new idea is to- ward slacks and other informal togs.
 However, 1t Is sometimes hard to make up our minds to put dear little Jamie into the rough -and- ready clothes we see on her con- temporaries. If that is the case, let Jamie, herself, choose. And let Bud choose, too. Nothing makes child feel more out of 1t than to be different"
 The children will come and beg to be in the swim; and If the tea- pot will stand another raid, then I should not hold up mortified hands and say, No. you can't 20 around looking like clown" Maybe 1t is all the style to look like clown, and don't think chil- dren don't pay attention to style. DRAW THE LINE
 AT SLOvENLINESS
 There is just one thing that I'd tie tight to the post. That is real slovenliness. Some neighborhoods and some schools boot at neatness. They think 1t smart to go about with faces dangling or hair in eyes. That's not smart. It is hooliganism. Let the rest do it if they like, but keep a stiff front on this matter.
 And another thing. Children should learn to conserve. They must take care of their clothes simply because clothes cost money. This is why I think there should be some dressier suit for high days and holidays, not SO much for the sake of the duds themselves, as to make the youngsters conscious of their conduct.
 We used to have Sunday shoes" and . Sunday coat" May be they were no better than the everyday raiment we wore. But they had to be kept in order, had to be preserved, had to be re. spected. That was a good lesson.

GlorUing Yourself

Dy Alicia Hart

A Fifth avenue beauty expert who specializes in correcting excessive ly dry and excessively oily condi- tons Of the skin and in keeping the complexions of her mature clients youthfuly firm( recommends that ice be used regularly In home treatments.
 "Unless the muscles of the face retain the firmness and elasticity of youth. the skin is bound to sag, giving the features a pulled-down look," she explains.
 T think every woman ought to finish her nightly cleansing routine by covering her face and throat with strips of wet, clean cotton and then rubbing ice over the strips for two minutes" the expert continues.
 Or she can get one of those ifl- expensive little roller gadgets, fill the the roller with cracked ice and roll 1t upward and outward over her face and threat. Ice never should be rubbed directly on the skin, of course, but used every day in one of the ways just described, 1t ooes tend to prevent premature sagging."
 SOFT SKIN, YES,
 BUT NOT SOFT MUSCLES
 She goes on to say that soft skin Is fine indeed, put that soft mus cles beneath 1t are something else again, Also that while rubbing, pull ing and stretching of the skin are to be avoided, proper batting and deep but gentle kneading with up- ward and outward movements will help to keep muscles firm. For those osl a limited budget she ad- vocates one professional facial by an operator who is willing to teach proper steps for home treatments.
 Equipment for a home treatment for dry or normal skin need in- cludc zlly bland soap or quick melting cream for thorough-cleans
