GOT kINkY MUSCLES!
 ! THEN STRETCH A BIT
By BETTY CLARKE AP Feature Writer

If you're all worn out or under nervous strain a lot - and most women stay keyed up most of the time-stretcbing is a good idea.
 Here are some relaxing routnes to unite knots and renew your en- ergy: H s
 It's good to remember that stretching is always one of the simplest remedies. It can be done many times during the day. Stand on your toes and raise your hands high as you can without over straining. At home you can stand in the doorway and try to reach the frame overhead to get the same result Ann Rutherford, movie star, does in the gymnasl- um Try to better your own mark each time you repeat. Breathe deeply each tine you raise your arms. stretch up and. come do"h to relax. Stretch again to feel pull on all your muscles.
 You. can stretch in the bath tuo and in bed. Starting at the toes, bend them over tightly and relax them several times. Arch the feet and relax them. Work the feet m circular movement at the ankles, then let them dangle. Stretch the legs stiffly from the hips. then re- lease your muscles. So with the rest of the body, taking the fingers separately, the hands, arms and neck, ending with the facial mus cles which can be frightened and stretched by dropping the jaw and stretching the mouth, then relax ing.
 Several times a day stand or sit very straight drop the head as far forward as possible and roll .t 10 the left shoulder and drop 1t back, then to the right and drop it for ward. Reverse and repeat. ewing along at good pace when walk ing.
 All clements of limbering and stretching are found in kicking. By daily exercise you can increase the height of your kick and pro- vide the limbering you want. II kicking is difficult at first, let your roommate help by py forcing your leg as high as she can with out hurting you First kick front, then side and then, with knee bent backward Gradually you can in- clude kicks that are waist high, chest high, eye high and fan wise.

BUT COUNT TEN . ....
 BEFORE MAILING

LARAMIE, Wyo., Feb. 19-Many people believe that once letter enters the United States mail postal regulations forbid the recovery Of it by the sender before it reaches the addressee.
 That isn't so, says Postmaster A. E. Holiday of Laramie. Postoffices have instructions to go so far as to telegraph distant cities, if necessary, to extract a letter from the mail if the sender suddenly changes his mind and decides he wants to take back what he said.
 It is only necessary to identify yourself as the sender of the letter, by describing it minutely and pro- viding a sample of your handwrit- ing.

Here Are Pocket-Pieces To
Enrich Your Daily Menus

can be used to add style and flavor
to the family meal on any day of
the year.
The use of stuffing is a thrift idea,
too. The flavor of the meat IS ex-
tended to the dressing and a greater
number of servings are possible.
This is an advantage especially
where there are keen appetites to
satisfy. 1t is indeed gratifying to
find that one can practice economy
so pleasantly.
Variety OF Cuts
A little research may be necessary
for you to become acquainted with
the variety of cuts Of me- that lend
themselves to the use of %stuffings.
But you'll be surprised how many
of these "pocket-pieces" you a find
once you start investigating.
Among the roasts, breast of lamb
and slamb shoulder and veal breast
and shoulder are all well adapted for
stuffing.
Among praised meats, flank steak,
pork chops and veal birds can be
given added tastiness by the use of
stuffing.
Beef heart is another cut which
can be stuffed to good advantage.
New clipper" Closing
Stuffed pork chops, shown in the
illustration, may offer a new idea
to many homemakers. A pocket is
formed by cutting the membrane
along the rib of each chop. Use a
sharp knife and make a slit large
enough to contain a tablespoon OF
bread dressing. AS the chops cook,
this opening closes, forming a ma
tural Upper pocket. There's nc
need to use skewers or string.
Stuffed pork chops are praised
like any others. First brown them
in a hot skillet. Then add a little
water, cover and cook them slowly
for about forty-five minutes.
For a festive occasion, serve these
with Drowned slices of pineapple,
around a mound Of steamed rice.
Broccoli with Hollandaise sauce is
a good choice of vegetable.
Here are other suggestions fo1 the
