Nutritious desserts are admirably
suited to the observed salad or
sandwich meals of summer. Lemon
Icebox Cake is just such dessert,
though its appearance and delicate
ness belle its wholesome goodness.
Tangy with the flavor of fresh lem

Lemon Icebox Cake is one dessert
that improves with standing, so it
can be whipped up early in the
morning and tucked into the refrig-
orator to await the evening meal,
or can even be made up day
ahead. Lady fingers make a most
attractive mold, but any stale plain
or sponge cake can be sliced in
dainty strips and used instead.

PATTERN 926
GAY KIDDIE STYLE
WITH PERKY BOW

Even miniature fashion can be
full of novel ideas! See how be-
witchingly Claire Tilden has de-
signed this little-girl frock, Pattern
926. A panel comes right down the
center front of the dress from be-
meath the collar, and curves into
button trimmed waistband that
goes around to tie saucily behind.
A new and enchanting treatment!
The top-sleeves, collar and all
looks adorable made in gayly print
ed contrast, with panel and skirt In
monotone. There's back button
ing from neck to waist that's right
in the current mode. Notice the full
and perky skirt, cut on the bias Tor
nice lines. The sleeves may be snort
or long and full, with trim-fitting
wristbands. And here's a tip: the
top made in contrast requires so
very little fabric that you can prob
ably use some leftover material
from a new frock of your own!
Pattern 926 is cut in children's
sizes 2, 4, 6, and 10. Size 6 re-

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Ringing Ears
Some tablets I gave my six year old
son for cold made his ears buzz,
as he puts it. Isuppose that is from
quinine. Is it harmfm?
(Mrs. F. j.
AnSwer-Real quinine is at least
safe remedy for child or adult with
grip, flu or cri. Acetanilide or other
coaltar pain killer is not a remedy,
not safe, merely benumbs conscious

Anti Hemorrhagic Vitamin X
Whenever have teeth extracted I
always bleed for days afterward. Is
this because of thin blood or too
much blood? Il. FL
Answer = Thin blood" or "too
much blood" is hardly an explana-
ton. Along with calcium you should
take vitamin D to assure assimila-
ton of the calcium. Sometimes ex-
cessive bleeding is due to insufficient
daily intake Of fresh fruit, fresh
vegetable, or fresh fruit Juice, for
vitamin G.. Still another vitamin,

Stanley says. Women and girls
may never be called on to fight,

What will bring us nearer this
ideal of 1870 million adequately

How to achieve a perfect :
eroomed appearance Is o ques-
ton which faces every young wo-
man who feels she Is beginning
to outgrow the careless look that
is all right at twenty.
Norma Shearer Is perfect ex-
ample of the woman who has
achieved perfect grooming, and the
famed screen star is generous
enough to pass on the little tricks
she has picked up-in case you
would like to try them.
First of all, Miss Shearer warns
you to keep your beauty routine
your couture, and your clothes
SIMPLE. If you don't, she thinks
you are licked before you start.
She also warns of the danger OF
letting yourself get even a little
bit overweight. She manages to
keep her own figure alive because,
she says, IT long ago gave up the
idea that eating Is pleasure" She
Is pretty sure that If eating is one
of your main pleasures In life your
figure will announce that fact to
the world.
She is convinced no cosmetics
can do as much for a woman as
a good nights sleep.
COMPLETELY GAVE UP
AFTERNOON CLOTHES
Here are some of her tips:
On makeup: BE sure that you
powder your neck as well as your
face. If you don't, your face may
look young and glowing, but your
neck will look years older, and
duller.
"And be careful not to use too
much makeup. It Is easy to get
so used to makeup that you grad
ually use a little more each year,
without quite realizing how gener-
ously you are applying it."
About hair: "Find hair style
that Is becoming and yet easy to
care for. If your couture needs
fixing every day, give it up and
find q new one. A trick I often
use in pictures I have carried over
into after-hours. That Is, pinning
a figure eight knot, which I call a
cheater, onto my own short hair
when wear evening clothes. Don't
start dyeing your hair, unless you
are willing to be robbed Of some Of
your freedom, for it is an awful
nuisance"
(Miss Shearer had her hair dyed
for the first time to play the role
of the ash blonde countess in
Escape" and she can't wait for 1t
to grow out)
On clothes: II have found that
it Is possible to completely give up
afternoon clothes. In the daytime
I wear a tailored suit or tailored
Stacks, and at night tailored eve
ming clothes. This simplifies the
clothes problem so much that ] be-
lieve great many woman viii soon
consider that they have all the day
time clothes they need when there
are several suits Of varying weights
and selection Of blouses hanging
in their closets"

MANY HAVE SCURVY BUT
DON'T KNOW 1T

DR.. r. M. Overstreet reported IS
cases of scurvy in infants aged from
Z months to 31s years, seven Of them
from rural districts. None Of them
breast fed for longer than three
weeks. A few spoonfuls of CONNER
cial canned tomato juice, or fresh
orange juice, or fresh tomato juice,
or any other fresh fruit juice, mixed
with their milk daily, would have
prevented the scurvy in those in
fants. They we're infants seen in
hospital and out-patient clinic. Per-
hapS their parents were ignorant OF
the fundamental requirement Of
every infant for some such fruit juice
daily to prevent scurvy. Fresh raw
milk contains some vitamin G, per-
haps enough to prevent scurvy in the
infant if the COWS are on pasture.
Boiled, sterilized, pasteurized, Scald-
ed, canned, evaporated, condensed
milk contains little or none. Human
breast milk contains considerable,
provided the mothers diet includes
enough fresh fruit or fresh vege-
tables and greens. But even the
breast fed baby, and always the bot
tie fed baby. should receive some
orange juice, tomato juice or other
fresh fruit juice every day-if only
a teaspoonful or two-mixed with a
little water or mixed in the feeding
| if the baby is bottle fed.
1t is the consensus of opinion to-
day that an adequate intake of vita
min G, as in fresh fruit or factory
canned fruit or tomato, fresh and
canned vegetables, and especially
such foods as cabbage, turnip green's.
dandelion green's, spinach, Brussels
sprouts, kale and broccoli, as well as
the less important onions, parSnips,
turnips, caulihower, potatoes, apples
and bananas, is essential for the de-
velopment of normal teeth and the
preservation of healthy gums.
Probably many individuals whose
diet for one reason or another Is
unduly restricted and whose daily
intake of vitamin G is therefore in
adequate, suffer from manifestations
Of scurvy which they ascribe to
everything but scurvy. They assume
the characteristic swelling and sore
ness In the joints. particularly the
ankles, Is rheumatism" They think
the discolorations, or black and blue
spots in the skin, are from some
injury. They apply various names IL

Of the gums and even loosening Of
