Protection
For Skin
In Sun
Use Plenty of Oil
And Never Tan
TooLong
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

The course to take in sun bathing
Is that Of a happy medium. Either
extreme, or no sun at all, or tanning
to bronze color, is detrimental to
health as well as to beauty. We
need sun. but not too much sun.
Women who have been ailinR
during the past winter with Joint
stiffness, sore throats, frequent colds,
inertia and indigestion, would find
Old Sol marvellous cure If they
stretched out beneath the warming
and health-giving rays regularly,
with their bodies protected by OIL
Never lie under the sun when
1t is too hot. Select middle morn
ing hour for your air and sun bath.
Lie comfortably on a mattress or
thick towel on the sand of a beach
or on the lawn. Turn every 10 min
utes so front and back will get the
| same amount of sun and so that
neither side will get too much sun
at one time.
If you have no prepared suntan
lotion or cream handy, mix mineral
Oil with a few drops of iodine (sufi-
clent to make the oil tinged with
lavender) and anoint your body with
that. After the sun has toasted
your skin 20 minutes each side Gf it
Is rather strong) draw a fresh sheet
over you and lie while longer. The
sheet prevents burning and YOU
still benefit by the heat you get.
Take a warm bath or shower after
ward unless you can loll around all
day in comfortable sun clothes. and
keep the oil on your skin until bed
time or when you dress for the eve
ming.
The chances are your hair is dry
too. as the majority Of women find
summer a difficult time to preserve
hair beauty. If this is the case with
you, rub a bit of the mixture YOU
use for sunburn preventive, on
your scalp. Both the mineral oil and
iodine are excellent for your hair.
Do not rub it on the length of hair
only on the scalp. The heat of
the sun will melt it and provide a
hot oil treatment as you relax during
your sun bath. You may leave the
mixture on your scalp until the next
shampoo. The trick Is to apply 1t
so sparingly that your tresses will
not look greasy.
Let me give you another beauty

will have about the same food value
as an equal amount of fresh fluid
milk. You can drink this milk, or
you can eat it in cream soups, seal
loped dishes, mullins, bread, cake,
custards and any number of other
dishes.
If you dilute the evaporated milk
with less than an equal amount of
water, you will get more of the milk
solids. You can use it partially di-
luted in creamed dishes, cocoa, pud-
dings and sherbets. And you can
use evaporated milk full strength
in frozen desserts, scrambled eggs
and cheese sauce.
Dry milk is another convenient
way to get the calcium and the
other food values of milk. In max
ing dry milk, practically all the wa
ter is removed so only the milk
solids remain. And nutritionally
speaking, one quart of fluid whole
milk is about equal to Az ounces of
dry whole milk, or to 31a ounces of
dry skim milk with 112 ounces of
butter added. The dry skim mil,
contains very little fat and no vita
min A, but it keeps better than dry
whole milk.
You ca Use enough dry skim milk
in soups, cereals, bread and many
other foods to make them richer in
milk solids than those made with
fluid milk. But when you use dry
skim milk, you must get fat and
vitamin A from other sources-such
as butter.
To make beverages, soups, gravies,
sauces and such dishes as scram-
bled eggs and custards-just mix the
dry skim milk with water and use
it like fluid milk. Or you can use
dry skim milk in the powdered form
in bread, mullins, biscuits, puddings
and cereals. In such recipes. mix
the powder with the other dry in
gradients and use water alone as
the LIQUID.

Dear Dorothy Dix-Why is it that
the wife of the average business
man cannot seem to understand
that girl goes into business for
exactly the same reason as a boy
does-because she needs the money;
because she wants to be independ-
ent; because her family expect her
to get off their shoulders as soon
as she finishes school and that the
least of her intentions or desires is
to vamp the lady's husband? Of
course, there are some girls who
think it is easier to work the boss
than it is to pound typewriter, but
the number is few. Most Office girls
attend strictly to their jobs and so
do their employers, which is making
money, not love. Yet most wives are
jealous of their husbands secretaries.
But If they only knew it we are their
friends, not their enemies. We help
make the money that is lavished on
them; oftener than not we are the
ones who remind their husbands of
their birthdays and anniversaries
and pick out their presents, and we
prefer our own slim young boy
friends to their paunchy husbands.
If you can make these wives see
their husbands as the fine, honor
able men they are, who know how to
treat sensible, hard-working busi-
ness girls with respect; and if you
can make them see us as we are
interested in our jobs, liking our
bosses. but no home -wreckers, many
a business girl would rise up and
call you blessed.
A WORKING GIRL.
Answer-Good for you! You are
saying what I have preached to
wives a thousand times, that there
is mighty little philandering in the
average business Office, and that
most of the wives who are green
eyed over their husbands secretaries
are borrowing trouble.
OF course, there are a few men
who would make love to any female
who crossed their path, but they are
not typical of the average American
business man. He treats the women
who work for him with as much
respect as he would show any other
woman, and he is far more apt to
f1irt with the woman who sits across
the table from him at dinner than
he is with the girl who sits at his
elbow taking down dictation.
Also, the conditions of an Office
do not promote sentiment. The en-
ployer and employe see each other
at too close range. They know

AS the Bureau of Home Economics
of the United States Department
of Agriculture has the floor today,
with its interesting discussion of
milk and milk products, we're fol-
lowing along by offering you a gala
dessert for the Fourth of July made
with condensed milk.
If we took popular poll on the
favorite national summer dessert
the peoples choice would certainly
be ice cream. Different sections of
the country may choose different
traditional main dishes for this No.
l patriotic holiday, but ice cream is
sure to win out everywhere as the
climax of the Fourth of July dinner.
Here's thrifty short cut recipe
for ice cream that makes this vote
winner practical for any budget
one cup of cream, flavoring and half
a can of condensed milk are all you
need to make six generous servings.
And you'll be sure of a velvety tri-
umph because this easy ice cream
mix is guaranteed magically free of
ice crystals. This really qualities as
an independence Day recipe for the
chief cook because it needs only one
stirring after you put it in the re-
frigerator
You can add a patriotic note by
serving the ice cream in paper cases
set in little drums made of red pa
per and topped with tiny Uncle
Sans, stars or shields. Arrange a
centerpiece of red, white and blue
fresh flowers-blue corn flowers
with red and white carnations, or
with red roses and white feverfew
or blue delphinium and red and
white snapdragons-to give a fur
ther patriotic significance to your
feast.

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
We have spot of land beside
the sea on which we wish to put up
some sort of a shelter this summer
We want it very simply designed,
but built we'll enough so that we may
add onto it as time goes on. Will
you give us any ideas that might be
incorporated in the plan?
H. J. K.
Answer-You have to have a place
to prepare food, place to sleep,
and plenty of cupboards and drawer
space. The rest of the house" may
be out of doors, except that you
might arrange way to protect it
from 4-day north-easter in case
one occurs. If it were mine I would
plan a. fiat roof to cover an area
80 feet square. The rear half /
would partition for kitchen, dressing

sleeping place. I would have a fire.
place in the middle of the house with
deep couches built-in in front of it..
This whole fireplace area might be
opened onto the porch, or closed
in rain by folding glass doors. The
dressing area would be built in with
closets and drawer space for the
whole area. This amounts mainly
to large porch for outdoor living
with the necessities available in
compact, well-ordersd space Every
thing here is easily cared for with
a minimum of effort. aside from
built-in details being carried out in
later years the house is complete
under this roof
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
Can you give me suggestions for
arranging a closet for my four-year-
old child? He should learn to put
things away and his closet is too
deep and dark for him to see into it,
and the shelves are all too high.
MRS. E. D.
Answer-The two major consider
ations are to place things so that
he can get them down as we'll as put
them back, and so that things ma
turally fall into their right places.
Build into the bottom of the closet
drawer 8 inches deep that may be
completely removed for cleaning
This is for shoes and bed slippers.
Place above this a hanger bar at a
comfortable height to be reached
easily. There should still be room
for shelf for toys. Above this area

clothing, and pair of closed cub
boards for the things you would
prefer be let alone. The closet door
may be equipped with pocket for
games and sundries. Make the
whole thing light and gay with pat
termed wall paper on which you
paint decorations, use transfer pat
terms or cutouts. 1t is a good idea
to plan that children never close

values. 1t contains fat, as you can
see when the cream rises to the top
of bottle of milk. You can also see
the protein in the form of curd,
when milk sours. And you know that
milk contains sugar, because it has
q slightly sweet taste.
Milk is especially valuable for its
calcium and phosphorus, which a
scientist could show you by drying
the milk and then burning it until
the ash contains only the minerals.
In addition, scientists have found
that milk is particularly rich in
vitamins A and G and it also has
some vitamin D, and small amounts
of B1 and C.
So there is good reason for nutri-
tionists to recommend a quart of
milk day for growing children, and
a pint day for adults. But some
of the milk quota can be in the form
of cheese or dry milk or evaporated
milk, If 1t Is more economical to buy
milk that way.
In cheese the calcium, phosphorus
and protein are found In a concen-
trated form. In fact, ounces of
American (Cheddar) cheese have
about the same amount of these
three food values as quart of milk.
This means that in single serving
of macaroni and cheese you may get
enough cheese to furnish more CAL
cium than a glass of milk. When
you use whole-milk cheese in sand
wiches, souff1es, salads and other
dishes, you're really eating milk, and
getting the important milk solids
and vitamins A and G as we'll.
Milk made into cottage cheese is
another way to add food values to
the diet. Cottage cheese is a good
source of calcium, phosphorus, pro-
tein and vitamin G. But some of
the calcium and milk sugar are lost
In the whey, and cottage cheese is
also low in fat and vitamin A, be-
cause it is usually made from skim
milk.
You can drink milk as a beverage
or eat it in cooked foods, and you
can use it in the form of fresh fluid
milk, evaporated milk or dry milk.
Dry milk or evaporated milk may be
used full strength or only partly
diluted. When used this way, dry
and evaporated milk actually con-
tain more milk solids than fresh
fluid milk and are especially useful
in adding to the nutritive value of
the diet without greatly increasing
the volume.
In manufacturing evaporated milk
about one-half the water is removed
from fresh fluid milk. When you
use the evaporated milk, you can
mix it with water, measure for
measure. This reconstructed" milk

Cut Flowers Back

Many of the garden flowers can
be kept blooming much longer than
usual by being cut back sharply
when the first show of blooms has
passed. This is true even of sweet
peas. If they have begun to turn
yellow cut them back to within two
feet of the ground and work some
pulverized sheep manure or bone
meal into the soil few inches
away. This will give the plants
a new lease Of life and they soon
will be blooming freely again.

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I have several iron garden tables
with marble tops. The tops are
soiled and discolored by many years
exposure, and soap and water, even
scrubbing powder, does not clean
them. Is there any way that I may
restore them to their original clean
illness? H.P.O.
Answer-Muriatic acid will do this
for you, but do be very careful using
it. Use a strong splinter of wood
IL inches long. Wrap some soft clean
cloth around one end of it and tie
this securely with string. This will
make a swab for the application OF
the acid, and one that you will be
able to control easily. Swab the
liquid on in even strokes. 1t will
bring out all the natural color and
marking of the stone. This is all
that is necessary unless you wish
to wax the surface which keeps the
dirt from getting into the surface
again.

we could get away from the car
for our picnic suppers? They would
have to be light, as we already have
picnic basket to carry.
MRS. S. D.
Answer-Yes, indeed, there are
several varieties. There are alumni
mum chairs with canvas backs and
seats, and folding table; the whole
outfit fits into a canvas bag about
IA by "a inches. There is also a
new set made of wood which is very
light; table and two settees fold
up to be carried in the trunk of
