PRAY HELP YOURSELF TO
SOME MORE VITE

In the days OF liver regulators,

Sam, beginning to grow old, took to
selling and destroying as fraudulent
nostrums carrying such lies on the
label.
Towards the close Of the LAST cen
fury a man named McFadden or was

Students Dictionary, discovered the
magic word "buoyant," It irks me to
say this, but believe Macs discov-

ploiter Of physical development pro-
fessed supreme disdain for medicine

The first twenty years of writing
this column were the hardest.
mean it took that long to disabuse
medical colleagues of the notion
that was out to sell myself as a
specialist or something, and to teach
a majority of readers that I sought
to show them how to keep well and
that was all.
After all these years, with the help
of readers, coined a word to stand
for what I'm driving at every day
in the year. The word is composed
of SIS worth of "it" and $40 worth of
"vitability," which when combined
gave us vite, which rhymes with kite.
Vite means preservation Of the
characteristics Of youth, better
than-average nutritional condition
as manifested in lower death-rates,
better growth and development, ex- /.
tension Of the prime of life in both
directions, material Improvement
of the life expectation Of adults,
higher average level Of positive
health throughout the life cycle,
greater pep, more vitality, the
highest degree Of natural immu-
nifty, an adequate fund Of reserve
power to tide over emergencies
and strains, the resiliency Of the
untamed animal or the primitive
savage.
You see, vite implies much more
than Just mot complaining Yes If
you like, it means lively, sprightly,
spirited, with vigor, vivacity, zeal.
Man or animal with vite IS nimble,
quick, capable, eager to play, ready
to fight or run away.
Please don't assume that the def
milton of vite is a mere collection Of
idle phrases. Every aspect indicated
represents much study Of the sub
ject. Nothing idle about it. Vite is
a precious thing, tell you, and yet
almost every one, if he wishes, can
add little bit more to what he al
ready has, and the gain Is bound to
be manifest in one respect or an
other. si3

At the ripe old age of nine, Miss

TWO MAKEUPS
NEEDED

It Is generally agreed That every
woman needs two kinds Of makeup
natural and costume. Natural
matches her skin tones and serves
to enhance and dramatic her nat
ural coloring. With costume make
up she may change the color of
the skin, making 1t possible to wear
colors she ordinarily considers be-
coming.
In other words, if, although you
like it, yellow seems to make your
skin seem quite sallow, experiment
with rouge, 'lipstick and powder
which counteract the tones cast by
the yellow. Simply take bright
yellow scarf or piece Of cloth or
borrowed sweater with you to a cos
metic department, wrap it closely
about your throat and shoulders,
remove all cid makeup, then try diff
ferent shades until you find some
VII ich make your skin appear nor
NAL in spite of the glow cast by
the fabric about your throat.
Think of the makeup you wear
on your face as something which
gives your skin natural, nealtny
glowing look and a dull, mat finish.
Use rouge sparingly where color
would be if you had natural color
in your cheeks. Never blend it down.
ward below an imaginery line from
corners of the nose to bottom of ear.
Let it fade off to nothing at your
hairline. There should be no streaks,

After application of foundation

throat. ct should match exactly
the shade Of your skim. Let it set
for a moment or two, then whisk
off the excess with powder brush
or piece of clean, fluffy cotton.

To wear with gray, fashions's
favorite color at the moment, cos
metic experts are recommending
vivid red shades Of rouge and lip
site. Practically. every manufacturer
of makeup has at least one hpstick,
with a matching rouge, which Is
downright scarlet. The majority
have two-one light, bright red, the
other darker, but just as clear a
shade.
These vivid reds are perfect with
gray and the er-than-navy
tones also featured in advance coll
lections of spring clothes. It's smart
to wear spic and span white gloves
and a white hat, scarlet hpstick and
nail lacquer with navy ensemble.
White accessories with touches Of
red introduced through makeup are
smart with any number Of dark,
basic colors.
One of the smart cosmetic au-
thorities has introduced three diff
ferent colors which fashionists pre-
dict will be successful throughout
the coming season. In other words,
it will be simple matter to find
the right, becoming makeup to wear

Licking County
Red Cross Sends
Shipment Abroad
250 Bed Shirts Shipped
To War Zones; Eleven
Societies Cooperate

Licking County Red Cross
workers sent $50 hospital bed
shirts to war zones this week, it
was announced by local leaders.
The garments were made by vol
unteer workers of the Licking
county chapter, and carry the
Red Cross emblem. They were
sent to New York where they
will be shipped to Europe as fast
as cargo space is available.
Mrs. Leland Baxter, chairman
of war relief production for the
local chapter, stated that the
quota of 1000 hospital bed shirts
has been cut out and assembled.
eleven societies are engaged in
making the garments, and an en-
thusiastic response has been
made not only in doing the work
but in complying with the Red
Cross Standards, added Mrs.
Baxter.
Two groups of women from
the st. Francis de Sales church
under the supervision of Mrs. T.
j. DAILY, and from the First Pres
byterian church with Mrs. Alex
ander Turner as leader have as
sumed the making of 100 hospi-
tai shirts each.
The groups have been sewing
in units with a supervisor who
understands how the garments
are to be made and the Red
Cross standard required.
"In cutting approximately
1000 yards of muslin there was
some inevitable waste" said Mrs.
Baxter. "Out of this waste 1T
large abdominal binders and "a
children's binders were sent to
the Newark City hospital. Two
cartons of materials suitable for
wrapping instruments for steril-
izing were also sent to the City
hospital. A great supply of
bandages were cut and rolled for
the local Red Cross Disaster
committee, and all Red Cross
Highway First Aid stations in
the county were furnished with
six-inch bandages for use with
traction splints."
"Close organization of the
sewing units will be maintained"
added Mrs. Baxter, $50 that
further quotas from the Nation
al Red Cross may be met with
out delay"
The following supervisors and
units have been sewing: Mrs.
