Home-canned fruits, vegetables and
preserves keep best in cool dry store
room. Those put up in glass contain
ers should be kept in dark place to
prevent loss of color. A hot, steamy
storage place will cause growth Of
mold on any container that may not
be sealed alright.

Take Is minutes out once week
for facial mask. You will find the
results most gratifying in ridding the
skin of those pesky little bumps which
appear below the surface. Cheap,
simple masks may be made at home
and accomplish the same purpose as
the more expensive ready prepared
ones. A cake of yeast with little
egg white and few drops Of cologne
make splendid mask. Cleanse the
skin first with cream, spread on mask
and lie down for Is minutes. A small
pad soaked in witch hazel may be
placed over each eye. Put your feet
up on the foot of the bed, place pill
low under your hips and let the circu-
lation and the mask do their work for
your face. Then just wash mask off
with warm water and feel like a new
woman.
Another inexpensive mask is made
of cereal powder mixed with tea
spoon of cold cream.

If you would thin yourself down to
sylph like proportions the experts now
agree that it can be done without go
ing on starvation dieu-just eat what
you like but reduce your portions.
Plenty of salads are recommended with
a non-fattening dressing, of course.
From the Rose Dor Health Farm
comes this French dressing recipe low
in caloric value: 2 tablespoons vinegar,
pinch each salt and paprika, " tea
spoon dry mustard, finely chopped
chives or parsley and l teaspoon cat
sup. For richer consistency chopped
hard cooked egg may be added. Rub
the inside if a wooden bowl with gar
lie pour in vinegar, add other ingred-
tents, stirring constantly. Pour over
salad greens just before serving.
For Better Homemaking
Learn to know your furniture by its
feet-it's a fascinating subject. For
instance, the ball foot is identified with
17th century English and American
furniture, used on the William and
Mary styles and their Dutch antece-
dents.
The hoof foot, is based on hoof de-
sign, usually the goat hoof. 1t is some-
times seen on Gabrielle legs in 18th CEN
tury French furniture. 1t recalls the
origin of the word Gabrielle which
comes from the word "capra" mean
ing goat because the line resembled the
bent knee of this animal.
The Spanish foot is rectangular
ribbed foot sometimes making slight
scroll and extending downward from
slight rectangular block.
The lion paw foot is one of the old
est decorative details we have. 1t is
found in Egyptian and Gothic furni-
ture and sometimes in the Renaissance.
1t was revived in Empire styles in
France. In addition it has been used
in various other places intermittently.
If you're doing your living room
over for Spring a charming regency
effect may be accomplished by using
a cherry red rug or carpet on the floor
painting or papering the walls light
blue. Look for a light blue chintz
with pink flowers and use this fol-
draperies and slip covers, bound with
cherry red. One or two chairs may be
upholstered or slip covered in cherry
red for a daring effect, and French
prints will be appropriate hung on the
walls.

While the Women's Bureau of the
U. S. Department of Labor comes te
the defense of jobs for married women
who thus piece out family earnings to
permit better living, some authorities
are thinking hard about what will
happen to women at work if wal
comes.
Already the Labor Department is

nations. Standards of employment,
conditions and of wages are the mat
ters of particular concern to these U
