ACNE AVID ANEMTA

ACNE AND ANEM1A
 From the number of requests for discussion of or advice about acne and anemia it. would seem that there is a popular belief that acne ("enlarged pores," oily skin, white heads or blackheadS and pimpleS) is associated with or due to anemia.
 Simple nutritional anemia is con- mon enough in the teens, and so is acne, but otherwise they have no more in common than have pork and beans.
 Anemia, which means a deficiency in the proportion of red corpuscles or of the henoglobin or iron color ing matter which is the carrier of oxygen in the blood or of both, is not nearly so common today as it was a generation ago, probably be- cause the general level of nutrition is higher today than 1t was thirty years ago. Yet simple nutritional anemia is still too frequent handi- cap in childhood and early youth, and largely, I fear, because parents lack adequate knowledge of nutri- tion., Cachexia Americana, I call it. Others have called 1t cachexia scholastica. All mean the same thing g-malnutrition, wasting or poor development, functional weakness, lack of stamina, the frailties of the delicate" adolescent Spinal curvature, fatigue posture, "weak ankles" or pronated feet tearly or functional stage of fiat feet). low hip, high shoulder, poor teeth, ner- vous irritability or more physiolog- icaly neuro muscular irritability, abnormal reaction to everyday stim- uli or emotions. That's all we have room to say here-more about 1t in booklet "V-I-T-E Spells Youth" mailed on request, if you inclose ten cents and stamped envelope bearing your address.
 Only a few young persons with cacheXia Americana have acne, and only a few young persons with blackheads and pinlples are anemic. A certain amount of acne is more or less physiological or normal in adolescentS, and, like the f1eas on a dog, good fqor them, though for a different reason-it keeps them from Haunting their youth.
 Primarily acne is based on faulty function of the oil or sebaceous glands. There are 2,431 ,181 of these oil glands in the skir-if you doubt 1t, count 'em. The glands are em- bedded in the deeper layer, the true skin, and their ducts convey the sebum (oiD they secrete to the skin surface usually through the same orifice or opening as that of a sweat gland, and this common mouth is in the hair follicle or little cuplike depression around the shaft of a hair.
 The sebum or skin oil secreted by the sebaceous glands is ely, semi liquid, and upon exposure to air it sets to cheesy conscience, as in the comedones Cblackheads) which ocur when the orifice or mouth of the sebaceous duct becomes occlud- ed. Exact composition of sebum has not been determined, because

PATTERN 28o

There's no such thing as looking your age"-not when smart, sim pie frock like Pattern 280 can make you seem inches simmer; years younger. Designed by Claire Tilden, you'll find the making of this style so enjoyable and easy that, with the Sewing Guide for capable assistance, you'll want to stitch up at least two versions in different fabrics. All sorts of Slenderizing features have been included, but each is done in such a charming manner that it appears to be merely decorative. The bodice buttoning breaks up" the width across your bustline and is nice dressing convenience too. The yokes are shaped for both attractive effect and to hold the bodice soft ness just where it's needed. A pa- nel goes right down the front skirt for slimming, smart lines. You may like long sleeves, but If you decide on short ones, let them be trimmed with dainty little tabs. The small view shows how gay both the yokes and the sleeve tabs look in contrast say in lovely eyelet batiste-with lace edging. A colorful cotton, or a soft tie silk are fine fabric sug- gestions.
 Pattern 280 is cut in women's sizes 34, 36, 38, 40, 42. A, 46 and 48. Size S6 requires 3 l-2 yards 3o inch fabric.
 Send FIFTEEN CENTS (1Bc) In coins for this pattern. WRITE CLEARLY SIZE. NAME, ADDRESS AND STYLE NUMBER.

AS an example he told me about Jane JANE HAD GOOD CHANGES
 Jane was an attractive girl. Several young men had fallen in love with her and asked her to marry them. But Jane carefully kept from falling in love with any of the young men.
 Not one of them was "established". They all had to make their way in the world. Not one could give Jane immediately the things she wanted.
 And so she turned them down, one by one and went on looking for really good marriage"
 Jane is in her early thirtes today. The young men she turned down are all married and getting along just dandy. Their wives are beginning to have the things Jane wanted right at the beginning of mar riage.
 But Jane isn't doing so matrimonially speaking She has two prospects now and she is get ting almost desperate enough to take one of then-w

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 The Itch

Is boiling bed clothes and under wear the only way to kill the germ of the itch? How long must they be boiled?
 Answer-O Ordinary laundering (washing and ironing) will destroy itch mites-they are insects, not germs. Boiling kills the mites: so does dry cleaning (with gasoline or similar solvents). Instructions f0 management of scabies (the itch given in chapter in booklet Say. Your Skin"-for copy send twenty five cents and 1-cent stamped eil. velope bearing your address.
 E Pluribus Unum = Dr. --, of whom you have no doubt heard, told me you were scientific and he agreed with you on everything except castor oil. He said if he could not use castor oil he would have to close. up shop!
 (S. N). Answer-Yes, have heard of the doctor. Probably there are stin thousands of doctors in the country who agree with him about that. However, believe castor oil is never necessary as physic or laxative; that it is irritating and injurious rather than soothing or beneficial; and that the same dose of Aromatic Syrup of Rhubarb fspiced syrup of rhubarb) will serve every purpose the odious castor oil can serve in any circumstance. ~

GlorUying Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer

It might turn out to be more sen- sible than it sounds to spend some of your Christmas cash on beauty preparations that come under the heading of downright luxury.
 A few dollars worth of bath prep arations, for example, may prove to be just the incentive you need to keep your New Years resolutions about trying to be better looking every day. There's something about a scented bath, followed by col- ogne rub-down, that inspires many a woman to dress and apply make up more carefully afterward.
 If you haven't had professional facial in long, long time, it might be smart to spend part of the Christ mas check Uncle Ezra sent on a good one.

great scarcity Of wild life.
