Full details of the 1940 advertising program on Alaska's canned salmon will be presented to the food dis tributing tra of the country through an exhibit at the National Gamers Association national con- vention to be held in Chicago, January 20 to 25.
 Several other food distributing organizations including the National Food Brokers Association, the Inde- pendent Grocers Alliance. Red and White Stores, and others hold na-
 ional conventions al the same time. and Chicago regularly becomes the nations food distributing capital at this time.
 The distributing trade will be in- formed of the final preparations for Canned Galmon's nation wide dis play contest for retail grocers to be carried on during Lent and of the plans for reaching consumers with the story of the health values and economy offered by canned salmon meals. Advertising to consumers will be resumed after Lent. and repro auctions of the advertising to be used will be on display

 Discussing the e1nlbit. Ellsworth said that the conventions will be attended by several thousand inn portant salmon buyers and dis tributors from all parts of the coun- try.
 Most of these men are vitally interested in the steps that the Canned Salmon Industry will take this year to keep the people of the country buying canned salmon when they go into their neighborhood grocery store, Ellsworth said.
 Through our exhibit we will tell them the complete story of how we will help to sell salmon during i940, and will enlist the support of the food distributing industry in marketing Alaskas salmon pack in an orderly manner"

Manners
of the
Moment

When a visiting belle comes to
town who seems by her very strange
ness to be glamorous, it usually
happens that all the local bellies
begin to copy her. They copy her
coiffure, and they copy the color of
her nail polish, and they copy her
method Of filtration. and they copy
her fashions that is, they do
if she has made herself popular
with the local beaus.
But it's a dangerous habit, my
dears. If her coiffure is becoming
to her, that doesn't mean it will be
becoming to you. And if her lip
stick has an especially appealing
CLINT to it, that doesn't mean it
will give your lips an especially
appealing CLINT.
If the visiting belle is smart she'll
break the wave of mimicry by
changing her style from day to
day. But there's no reason why
the visiting belle should be any
smarter than the girls right here.
They're plenty smart enough to
know, if they just sit down in front
of a mirror and think, that copy
ing the visiting Anabelle isn't 60
ing to help them any. They'll soon
figure out that their best bet is to
do their hair in the prettiest way
and wear their prettiest clothes and
then wait calmly until Anabelle
leaves town and the boys have de-
cided she was just a flash in the
pan. JEAN.

Systematic
Exercise
Urged
Encourage All Men
To Follow Routine
During Winter
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

One of the most thoughtful gifts
you could give the man of your
heart is a membership ticket to a
gymnasium class, bowling club,
swimming pool or any other ath-
letic organization. It is a subtle
way of telling him that you want
him to exercise to keep healthy and
you want him to have fun at the
same time.
Winter months are confining
months and it takes a deal of effort
for man to exercise at home in
the morning before he goes to work
or at the end of the day when he
returns from work. But if he joins
a group of the fellows" who meet
once or twice a week to bowl or
swim or rustic dumbbells, exercise
becomes entertainment which isn't
so hard to take.
Too many men lose their youthful
appearance at an early age.
Paunchy stomachs, sagging shoul-
ders and curving spines are very
definite signs that the man is neg
lecting his health. And evening
tiredness is another sure sign. II
your man comes home. falls into
an easy chair and goes to sleep
Immediately you may be sure he
needs gymnasium workout as
much as he needs sleep and good
food.
Your man may argue that he ex-
ercises enough during the day. He
will tell you that he walks blocks.
gets up from his table or desk
many times day and even lifts
things. But unless he is actually
engaged in moving things about or
in doing other physical labor, the
chances are that he needs specific
exercise. 1t is true that some OF
his muscles are exercised each day,
but not all, and a session at a
gym in loose clothing will do him
world of good. OF course, if the
climate permits him to exercise out
of doors so much the better, and
if you can join him in golf or ten
mis- or badminton, he will exercise
more frequently.
If the men on your Christmas
gift list are pretty we'll stocked up
on the usual gifts such as toiletries,
billfolds and such, you might con-
slider series of scalp treatments
or skin treatments. More men than
you realize are concerned about the
condition of their scalps and skin
and if they were presented with a
ticket for a series of treatments
they would bless you for months !!
OF course, such a gift is not pos
sible unless there is reliable scalp
or skin specialist in your town. In
that case you could select ef1cacious
preparations for the care of scalp
and skin and have them packaged
in holiday wrappings. Once they
are on his bathroom shelf he will
be inspired to use them!

is mostly self hypnosis and she. will
be what she thinks herself to be.
A woman's philosophy Of life in
cludes contentment with her lot,
which, like happiness, is also home
brew which each of us must make
for ourselves in our own souls out
of common sense and courage.
Half of the women in the world
are needlessly miserable because
they make themselves so. They
cultivate dislike for some place in
which they have to live or the work
they have to do until they turn a
minor unpleasantness into a tragedy
that wrecks their happiness.
The place, however, where women
most need some philosophy to
sustain them is in marriage, for no
marriage ever comes up to young
girls expectations of what it was
going to be. Even the best Of hus-
bands are hard to live with.
Every child is a combination of
brat and angel that makes its mother
think upon occasion that it was
mistake to have saved it. Every
wife has her times and seasons when
she is tired and overworked and dis
couraged, when she envies her
bachelor girl friends who have jobs
and pay envelopes and eats instead
Of husbands. and when she wonders
why she ever was fool enough to get
herself into the domestic mess.
Then it is she needs to hold fast
to the knowledge that she has
chosen the greatest career that any
woman ever fills, and that she is
doing the most important work that
any woman ever does in the world.
1t is the women who have the
wisdom and the strength and cour-
age to make the most of themselves
and OF now and here, and to be
content with their lots, who achieve
q philosophy of life to live by and
die by. DOROTHY DIX.

Dorothy Dix Says >>>
Women Must Look at the Facts
And Do Less Wishful Thinking

Now, when the world 1t drenched
in tears and blood and when the
future seems so dark and bleak,
women need as they never have be-
fore some philosophy of life from
which they can draw strength and
comfort, and which ties together all
of this bungling business we call
living and makes sense Of 1t and
justides it. And, unfortunately. not
many of us have the long-range
vision that enables us to see the
pathway we must tread as whole.
We cannot lool. beyond the next turn
OF the road. That is why there are
so many peevish, fretful women;
why there are so many women who
bog down into chronic Istlessness
and unhappiness. They need some
thing to shake them out OF their
apathy. something to solace them In
their disappointments, some slogan
to rally their fainting spirits. some
thing to make them realize that II
weeping comes with the night re-
joicing comes with the morning.
And the only way they can meet
this need is by cultivating q philos-
ophy that will enable them to accept
life as it comes, and make the most
of it. Now not every crutch fits the
same shoulder. Every woman must
make her own. And if she wants it
to bear her weight when she most
needs its support she must fashion
it out Of things as they are, instead
of things as she would like to have
them. Wishful thinking is the curse
of the feminine sex. Millions of
women spend their lives in torment
because they long to be what they
can never be, and to have things that
are forever out of their reach.
The basis of every woman's phil
osophy of life should consist in cut
ting her garment according to her
cloth, as the old proyerb puts it..
Let her once realize that she is no
glamour girl: that no talent scout
will ever discover her and bear her
off to Hollywood to get million
dollar salary; that no fairy prince
is ever going to come riding down
her street, and she has booked her
passage for the islands of the blest.
She has kissed Old Man Trouble
good-by. She has eliminated the
hopeless struggle to be beautiful
though homely. She is no longer
tormented by ambitions that she
lacks the talent to realize. And she
can marry the corner grocer instead
of being an old maid. waiting for
the millionaire who never comes.
!. The next thing that women should
remember in formulating their phil
osophy of life is that happiness is
a homemade product. 1t doesn't
come put up in cans and it isn't for
sale over the counter.
Every woman must roll her own.
She will be happy, or unhappy, as
she wills herself to be, for happiness

Anchor your turkey n roast to the
platter with suction pins which are
very simple to use. Simply dip the
suction cup in water and press down
on the plate; then push the fowl
or roast on the pins until firmly
held This makes carving at the
table an easy matter and saves tenn
per and tablecloths =.
We found another new device for
holding meat securely while 1t is be-
ing carved. This resembles ice tongs,
but placed in its center is a long
fork. All one has to do is insert
the fork in the meat and then press
the handle, which allows the tongs
to clamp the outer sides -.
An item every woman should have
in the kitchen is a lima bean and
pea shelter. It is made Of metal and
has hard rubber rollers which, when
the beans are passed through, leave
the shelled vegetables in the bowl.
uncrushed 1t is a time saver and

Of a pear that can be used either as
punch bowl or for holding fruit -.
We have spoken about "a silent

Something new in the line Of wall

plate is so highly polished that one
would have to look twice to see that
