portant vitamin B complex, be- cause 1t deteriorates in vitarnin strength on storage for more than a week or two, and in vitarnin F content (the oil in wheat germ IS the richest known source of vita min E) it deteriorates even more rapidly.
 Taking an average of a number of biological assays of such wheat germ, I estimate that wheat germ contains approximately 1l5 inter- national units off thiamin (vitan1in B1) in the ounce (two rounded tablespoonfuls), as well as all of the other entities of the B complex in proportion, to say nothing of the vitamin E.
 QUESTIONS 6 ANSWERS
 Anilin Dyes
 Is continual contact with anilin dye harmful? (Mrs. G. R)
 Ans.-No. The finished colors are harmless. It is only in the chemical manufacture of anilin dyes that harmful effects may occur-chiefly skin lesions, less commonly systemic poisoning by inhalation of fumes.
 Mucus
 While agreeing with you for the most part I find it difficult to ac- cept your conclusion that it Is fall- acy to say certain foods form mucus. Would appreciate your references for this assertion. (S. U. Al
 Ans.-No physiologist, physician or scientific authority imagines food ever forms mucus. That notion is a morbid fancy of the fake food spe- cialists to catch the qullible suckers, the Wiseacres-and 1t catches plenty.
 Bowling
 I found a good bowling green here. After watching them play and rolling a few myself I wonder If they invited me because of my age. It seems a nice game for a weak myocardium, but as mine is still all right I believe I'll stick to golf and horseback riding. GA. M. J., M. D.
 Ans.-Every man to his taste. I'd give a golf course and a string of saddle horses for a season of lawn Protected by John F. Dille Col bowling on any good green.

the individual is in. Mind and body are one - body affects the mind and the mind affects the body. What does joy do to the body? It exhilarates it. Joy is so invigorating it can wear one out.
 Sorrow has just the opposite ef- feet. Have you ever had some thing so terrible happen to you that all of sudden you realized you could hardly stand up. Peo- pie sometimes faint in grief.
 Where do you class fear? Of course there are many causes of fear. Let's pretend you hear a bombing plane. At first all move ments are arrested. If you still have some sense left, you will eventually run away.
 What are worries? They are fears. Worries are very refined, modern types of fear; and the more intelligent you are; the more worries you have usually. You can extend these concerns too far.
 We've got to live in spite of worries. The way we do so is to figure out the first ultimate values for ourselves, and then some others that are not so important.
 
 If you can assure yourself of req sonable health, you are going to be more able to take care of your self financially. Physical fitness will do a tremendous amount to offset worries and concerns. If you do not have physical fitness, you are unfortunate.
 If you do not have friends, you are unfortunate, also, Friends help you keep proper sense of humor.
 If you do not have any cultural or spiritual interests, you are un- fortunate. The study of art and the study of music are not pur- suits that demand much money today. The world of nature is also

Proper Play Will Tell Your Partner Cards You Hold
By VIM. E. MCKINNEY Anerica's Card Authority

Today's hand presents another example of the defensive echo. Let me stress that you cannot just pull a card out of your hand. The play of the cards is language which can speak off you, if you play them in the proper rotation.
 Though South had bid hearts, West made the correct opening. South won with the heart queen and returned the queen of dia- mands. West properly played the six-spot, to show his partner that he had only two diamonds. East rec fused to win and a diamond was continued.
 At this point East had e pretty good count of declarer's hand. He Knew that South held two more diamonds and ct feast four hearts originally, SO that in all probability, to continue hearts would be hope- less. South must have at least two spades for his no trump bid. there. fore there was little likelihood Of establishing tricks in the spade suit.
 Thus. hy counting the hand down.

Don't let what your husband says he doesn't like - or what you are afraid he'll make fun of-keep you from trying out your glamor ideas now and then.
 For instance, your eyebrows and lashes are almost colorleSs. You would really like to go to a reliable salon and have them dyed a na- tural looking shade of brown. But you're afraid John will have a fit.
 We'll, take a chance. Have them dyed a very light brown the first time. Then, if you like, 8 little darker the second. You may find. as one woman I know did, that if you let them go undyed for a few weeks John, who has become used to seeing them dark, will remind you to get the dye job done.
 AFRAID JOHN WILL
 THINK YOU SILLY?
 Or it may be that you are just plain tired of your type-tired of looking sweet rather than sophisti- cated, of wearing frilly clothes in- stead of something more striking You'd try a new sleek hair-do and buy a dress and hat that are any, thing but sweet-if it weren't for what your husband would say.

FOUR OUNCES OF WHEAT
 GERM DAILY

A reader says she noticed in this column recently mention Of some one who claimed. four ounces of wheat germ cannot be eaten daily; that one who tries to eat so much wheat germ would find himself not hungry for other food. The reader says she has found that not true.
 The reader goes on to say she was very sick with colitis three years ago. She grew thin, weak and mis- erable. Everything she ate hurt her. X-rays proved there was no seri- ous trouble, but just mucous colitiS.
 (Note by Brady: How any such thing could be proved by X-rays is far beyond my ken. But let the lady continue with her storyo
 "Then I began to read about wheat germ in your column. l pro- cured a supply and began eating two heaping tablespoonsfuls, chew ing it all up before every meal, and two heaping tablespoonfuls before going to bed. I believe l must get about four ounces daily this way.
 "In a short time was cured of all colitis trouble. You may be sure I have continued eating the wheat germ every day the year around, and am everlastingly grateful to you for teaching me about its value. For the benefit of those who claim one can't eat so much wheat germ let me say that find taking this neither disagreeable nor too filling. In fac t I enjoy 1t. It keeps me from stuffing on rich foods that are not so good for me, and keeps my weight normal. AL together it seems to have none but good effects on my general health and digestion. I can't eat bran and other rough foods, but wheat germ never gives me any trouble. It keeps me regular, and prevents flatulence and pain"
 The germ or embryo of wheat is the small portion near one end or the wheat kernel from which wheat sprouts or germinates or grows. The germ part constitutes about 5 per cent of the whole kernel. In the milling of wheat to produce re- fined white flour all of hte germ portion, along with the outer coats of the kernel, the bran, is removed it goes into ."middlings" to be used chiefly as feed for fowl and animals.
 Any miller who cares to bother can catch out few pounds Of fresh wheat germ at any time. More and more mills now do so, to sup ply the steadily increasing demand for fresh wheat germ. Wheat germ should be as fresh as possible for use in the diet to supply the im-

Glor1tyimg Yourself

Well, try it. He may ask with pride and admiration, "'What have you done to yourself? You look like million dollars It's worth a chance.
 Or maybe your hair is turning gray. You hate the thought of having gray hair at your age, but you hesitate to start dyeing it for fear John will find out and think you are being silly.
 PROBABLY JOHN i WILL NEVER KNOW Go ahead and dye it. If you go to really good dye expert, chances are that John will never know unless you tell him. :
 Of course, there's a chance that some of your ideas won't turn out well at all. If they don't, and your husband honestly disap . proves, give them up.
 But don't give up ideas without ever trying them. Unless you ex- pertinent every so often, you're bound to become drab-lookine and, worse yet, drab-feeling.

You'll like sheer wools with em- broidered dots in contrasting colors. And you'll like costume suits, such as the one shown here, including two-piece dress = the skirt gray, the top magenta - and long tub- ular jacket in black, white and gray plaid.
 Evening sweaters threaten to con- tinue to be as popular next winter as they were last. One of dove blue chenille, with gold and silver en- broidery in plume design, is shown with a dove blue silk skirt. Another, in the collection of American de- signer Jane Derby, is made in one piece with bouffant skirt of silver duchess satin. The hand-knit top, with long sleeves and high neck, is grayish-blue and silver.

 @. Please give directions for pro- cessing fruit, rhubarb and tomatoes in a boiling water bath.
 A. Lower the hot containers care- fully onto the rack in the boiling water bath, being sure they do not touch each other. See that the water comes to 2 inches over the tops of the containers, and then cover the water bath. Always have the boiling water bath waiting and ready for the food. Process the containers for the recommended time, counting from the time the water comes to a vigorous boil again after the con- tainers have been put in 1t. Keep the water at a rapid, steady poll during the entire processing period, but if the water does not boil con- stantly, or if the fruits are fully mature. or if the vegetables have stood around for several hours be- fore they were canned, it is wise to increase the processing time. At the end of the processing period, remove the containers and complete the seal at once. Cool the jars promptly by setting them upright, and far apart, in 8 well-ventilated, but not a drafty place. Cool tin cans with running water or by plunging them into several changes of cold water. Prompt cooling is important. Jars should never be packed closely or stacked until they are cold. Wash the containers on the outside, hand ling the jars carefully so that the seal is not broken. Label the jars, giving, date, and grade. Store them in a cool, clean, well-ventilated place, avoiding steam pipes and furnaces. If glass jars are stored in too light a place, the color of the contents may fade. This process is not rec commended for meats or for vege- tables, other than tomatoes and rhu- barb.
 c. How do you make grapefruit mint julep?
 AFill a shaker with crushed ice and canned grapefruit juice. Add two tablespoons of confectioner's sugar Qess, if juice is sweetened), |, and add finely chopped mint leaves. Shake until sugar is well dissolved and mint is distributed throughout. Strain over crushed or shaved ice into iced gases; garnish with sprig of fresh mint. Serve with straw. Several after-dinner hints may be dissolved along with the sugar, if a stronger mint taste is desired.
 @. How may remove inildew stains from colored cottons and h- mems?
 A. If the stains do not come out with laundering, use a mild bleach, such as 1 teaspoonful of potassium permaganate to i pint of water, ap- piled with a medicine dropper. The brown stain of potassium perman- ganate may then be removed witn lemon juice or ovalic-acid solution
