COOL DRESS WITH A NOVELTY GIRDLE

Are you a seasonal T haven't Q thing to wear" complainer? Then Pattern l36, expertly designed by Claire Tilden, is just the thing for you! It's the sort of quietly we'll bred style that fits into every mood and occasion: that's easy to make, to fit and to wear. The smart double-peaked girdle compliments a slim waist and makes not-so-slim waist look much smaller. The pointed yokes hold the softly bloused bodice lines trim, with the fullness gathered just below. There's a light-hearted flare to the four section skirt. For an afternoon style, try soft printed silk or sym thetic fabric-wouldn' frosty white flowers on a dark or pastel back ground be refreshing? And stitch pretty lace edging around the yokes and into the tucks of the short puffed sleeves. A different version suggests using a combination of two colors-the top of lighter or print contrast to the skirt and girdle. Whatever you do, be sure to keep the Sewing Giude on hand for sim- pie directionsl
 Pattern l36 is cut in misses and women,s sizes IA. l6. l8, 20. g, 34, 36, 38. 40 and 42. Size i6 requires 37s yards 39 inch fabric and l% yards lace cdging.

The community in which the child lives may make certain pro- visions to promote health and prevent disease which will bring into balance those forces which make for normal growth and de- velopment, but the individual must learn to do many things for him. self.
 In dealing with the child we must consider his mental and spiritual development, as well as his physical health. The healthy child is usually happy child. What are some of the conditions which make for a happy, wholesome life?
 In the first place there is "old man heredity." Oliver Wendell Holmes once said that if we could choose our ancestors we could have a better and healthier race. That being impossible, we must en- courage the present generation of young people to make better choices in their mates. The importance of healthy vigorous stock to produce healthy children cannot be overes- timated.
 We may not be able to do much, if anything, about our heredity, but we can provide more adequately for the on-coming generation. In this connection, too much cannot be said in urging proper prenatal care for the expectant mothers. An adequate, balanced diet, freedom from disease and defects, plenty of fresh air and sunlight, rest and recreation and a mind free from fears and worry not only help to promote a healthy pregnancy, but put the mother in a better position to nurse her baby and care for its daily needs.
 Health habits really begin at birth. The regularity with which the baby is fed. his daily routine of bathing. sleeping and associa- tion with his parents lay the foun- dations for more eXacting health habits later in childhood. Psy- chologists tell us that habits good and bad are largely formed in the pre-School years.
 l
 Next to good nOurishing diet and health habits we must place recreation in the form Of play and lots of sleep for the growing child Children should play and rest in the open air as much as possible They should gradually be exposed tO the sun, with protection of the eyes Tn the northern and eastern parts of the United States there is very little sunshine in the winter months Children should be given cod liver

Only a short while ago flop on the tennis court. but this spring she surprises the crowd with her fast serve, her clever game!
 It's simple to play good tennis when you practice with the right instructions. Is yours weak serve, often going astray? A good service is 70 per cent of the game to the server, so follow these pointers.
 To have a fast, controlled serve. you must time it accurately-and important in timing is the way you toss the ball.
 As you start your toss. let your left hand travel along the line of the base line. The ball should go about l8 inches higher than the point at which you hit 1t and at the top of the throw it should curve as if coming down near your left foot,
 Now, knowing where the ball will fall, it Is easy to control your serve. To put speed and force into your stroke, swing your racket back

 CUSHIONS and ANSWERS

 Why not Issue c pamphlet or book let on the recent scientific develop ments In dental hygiene? The pub- lie generally gets little or no proper information or instruction along that line except the pseudo scienti- iic suggestions of commercial in- terests. CT. W. s. D. D. s.

 Rabies
 read that you would rather take your chances on ordinary medical or surgical treatment for Q bite by e mad dog than to receive Pasteur treatment. Is that correct? If so, why do you object to Pasteur treat ment? (Mrs, c. G.
 Answer-I would not take Pasteur treatment in any circumstance, be- cause I fear the consequences of njec Ion of the virus more than I do the remote possibility of getting rabies. I do not believe rabies occurs in man.
 Iodin Ration

SATISFY HUNGER, LET APPETITE WAIT

The dinner menu in the basic or model health diet outlined In the two-bit booklet "The 2 Keys to Vite" provides approximately 1000 calories, Maybe Shakespeare meant something when he wrote now good digestion waits on appetite, and health on both" wouldn't know McCollum is more ineligible to me when he writes tNewer Knowledge of Nutrition, l93O Appetite may still persist when hunger Is satis- fed. We eat with pleasure the tempting desserts, even when we have already satisfied hunger and do not need more food" There Prof McCollum says in few words what I have tried-but hold hard there, I must not speak too highly of him there arc too many health column conductors competing for the busi- ness now.
 Calories are overexploited and I'd rather ignore them altogether, but having inadvertently allowed them to get into the model health dinner menu I may as well explain how 1t happened and promise to keep them out of this column in future.
 A modest slice of any kind of meat, hardly enough, Q steak hound would say, to cover @ black eye, represents 200 calories. One third of a head of lettuce Q6) and French dressing or mayonnaise for the let tuce (94) together yield 100 calories, Two fresh vegetables yield, say, 75 calories. A pat of butter calories, A glass of milk, l60 calories (20 calories in each ounce). Some fresh fruit 75 calories. A jigger of nuts l30 calories. A helping of cheese 100 calories, That gives $40 calories, leaving 60 to go,
 After all, thousand calory din- ner Is nothing to write home about unless you are actually confined to bed and forbidden to do even bed exercise, It requires 1900 calories a day just to supply the energy and heat used in performance of the vi- tai functions. A sedentary or white collar" clerk, stenographer, book keeper, who gets a minimum of exercise or muscular work or play, generally uses up 2800 calories a day. An honest working man or woman or one who gets regular daily exercise or play, requires 5000 or $500 calories daily,
 The basic or model health diet as outlined in the "7 Keys" may be fairly called corrective protective diet" because it contains liberal amounts of the vitamins and min-

h C V

Should HlUe Those SOU JOOS toughest jobs, physically, in the modern world.
 Why, then, should it be considered wo- mans job? Why woman, when everyone knows she is the weaker seX-the sex to be protected and cherished?
 And why should a white collar job that takes absolutely no physical strength be con sidered mans work-man the strong, the able-bodied, man the protector?
 IF you argue that man couldn't make \ house home, you would be ignoring the fact that many of the country's leading dec orators are men. And that some of the best entertaining is done by bachelors
 Men understand children as well as do women Many of the best child psychologists are men. And we speak sadly of the child brought up entirely by women. Also, when baby gets sick, it is usually man who is called to prescribe for him.
 Look closely ladies. Perhaps men weren't being chivalrous when they decided women's place was in the home. It may be they just found it more pleasant to sit in swivel chair than to wash dishes.

 The overweight girl who wants to look her best on the beach this sum. mer can't put off the decision to eat less and exercise more another single minute.
 There's precious little time left between now and the swimming season. Certainly not enough to permit any more alibis about lack of time to do exercises or lack of will power to cut out desserts and eat a bit less of everything else on every menu,
 Starvation diets and all types of so-called fad diets are not rec commended by reputable figure sac Ions and certainly not by doctors, II you decide to eat smaller portions of the same kinds of food you have been eating and thus lose weight surely, but safely, go ahead on your own. But If you feel that you must eliminate several types of food or go on some kind of special diet, by all means consult your family doctor before you do so.
 TRY FRUITS
 BETWEEN MEALS
 Unless your doctor advises other. wise, cultivate the fruit-between- meals habit. A whole orange, eaten in the middle of the morning, will make you forget how much you missed the second slice of toast for breakfast. And, incidentally, will crush your desires to eat everything in sight at lunch,
 Another orange or a dish of un. sweetened, stewed fruit or half of an apple or grapefruit will bridge the gap between lunch and dinner. If you are hungry at bedtime, eat more fruit instead of something high in caloric content.
 And do get 0 ealory chart, Otherwise, you can't be sure just how many calories @ day you are consuming,
 Meanwhile, resolve to do rec duclng exercises for ten minutes every day and to walk at least a mile a day. In e month, you'll see Q difference in your dimensions In three, unless you are greatly overweight, you ought to be in fine, streamlined shape.
