II IL merely a change of residence.
The good qualities she possesses
are cancelled by the traits that

But she won't, because she is:

She likes to emphasize her
brightness by calling attention to

her listeners fail TO laugh (which
often happens)

She has the bad taste TO ask
about the family background of

She reserves her charm only
for those she wishes to impress.

The average recognized beauty
diet today includes more green

starchy dishes; more fresh and
stewed fruits than rich pastries.

WHICH DISHES REMOVED
FIRST?
Dear Mrs. Post: Will you tell
me if it is better to remove the
serving dishes before the dinner
plates after the meal is over, or
better the other way round? l
don't suppose there is any rule
since putting everything on the
table and having no maid is hard
ly subject to rule. Just the same,
I'd like to know what you think
would be best.
Answer: On the contrary, there
is a definite rule about this. At
the end of every course, the plates
are removed first. This is because
they are directly in front of each
person and therefore most con-
spicuous. The meat platter Tor
main dish) is taken away next
and the vegetable dishes Tor condi-
ments) last.

Good Health Is
Best Cosmetic

No matter how conscientiously
she uses cream and lotions or how
often she has her hair washed and
waved, the woman who forgets
the Importance of sound health
habits simply won't be able to
greet spring with skin, hair and
figure in condition to be proud of.
If she doesn't get enough sleep
during the holiday season, and
doesn't bother after the holidays
to make up for lost rest, her eyes
and the skin around them will
have a tired, strained look that no
amount of cream or lotion will
remove. There are no two ways
about it; adequate sleep is the
best cosmetic for eye beauty.
Lack of exercise often is the
cause of the sallow tones prev
alent in the compilations of SO
many women at this time of year.
Poor circulation does not make
for firm, smooth, glowing skin.
And lack of exercise may be one
of the causes of sluggishness in
the circulatory system. Whether
she does setting-up exercises or
reducing exercises. a brisk walk
in the fresh air ought to be a
daily must with every woman.

ASSOCIATION SHOWS
HERD IMPROVEMENT

An example of the progress
that dairymen can make in in
creasing the milk and butterfat
production Of their herd S
through the testing program of
a dairy herd improvement asso-
citation is revealed in a recent
summary of the association OPP
Grating in Madison, Jefferson,
Silver Bow, Deer Lodge and
Powell counties.
This summary shows that
from May 1889 to May 1910 the
IA herds on test during the full
IL months produced an average
of 8,036 pounds of milk and
281 pounds of butterfat per COW.
This is a good increase over the
previous years average of 5,068
pounds of milk and 21O pounds
of butterfat per COW.
A gain was also made in the
return above costs of feed dur
ing this period, Niven said. In
the first year the average re-
turn above feed cost was only
$40 per COW compared with $50
for the 1939-4O period.
These increases have beer
made possible through the con-
siStent culling out of low pro.
ducing and Improbable cows
commonly known as "boarder'
COWS. But to do an intelligent
job of culling, the dairyman
needs accurate records on the
production of every COW in his
herd. 1t is the records made pos
sible by the association test
ing program that enable dairy
men to do a good job of Gull

Tests with crested wheatgrass
at the Central Montana branch
of the Montana Agricultural Ex-
pertinent station at Moccasin
show that late fall seedlings
made in October and November
have produced the best stands.
Another important factor is
depth of seeding. Station results
clearly show that crested wheat
should never be seeded deeper
than one-half inch and if the
seedlings are made in stubble
or weed cover no attempt should
be made to cover the seed. The
third important factor is high
quality seed.
