at another.

Every homemaker, therefore,
should make determined effort
to include plenty of iron-rich foods
in her menus. These foods in

Green vegetables cannot be en-

and fatty foods which provide
more heat and energy. And in

"A good-looker, sure, but just
dumb blond-too dumb to talk" was
the accepted opinion of producers
around the lot. While they con-

she was there only for scenic effect.
However, there were no complaints

ecutives like to make good fellows

time I would ask producer on the
lot to let me have a little speaking
part - no matter how small he
would shake his head and say any
one who looked so dumb simply
couldn't say anything convincingly.
