When you go on that long looked
| for vacation remember that swimming,
bicycling, riding, golf, tennis, badmin-
ton, hiking and horse riding are all
excellent exercises for your figure.
BUT when you start your outdoor fun
remember that moderation is the
watchword.
If you've been sitting at a desk
as daily routine, it's good idea to
do few simple bending and stretch
ing exercises at home before you start
the more vigorous muscle straining on
your vacation.

Why not give your feet a break as
we'll as your face? We hear much
about facial cocktails these days, but
how about cocktail to revive and re-
juvenate those hot, swollen tired feet
after day of shopping or a tramp
| through the woods Stimulate the foot
| circulation with a stiff brush and hot
soapy water. Then rinse first with
extremely hot and then very cold
water alternating several times. There
| Is lovely foot creme on the market
with menthol which leaves the feet
feeling cool as ice and the skin glor-
iously satin-like. Now powder with
good talcum, or if your feet are prone
to perspire frequently use a deodorant
powder, and selah, if this doesn't make
a new woman of you then nothing
will!
| Coal-tar colors, when used in all
cosmetics except hair-dyes must be
certified according to legal regulations
But the word caution" must be
placed on the label of hair-dyes con-
tanning coal-tar because this product
contains ingredients which may cause
skin irritation. Coal-tar hair dyes
must not, under any circumstances, be
used for dying eyelashes or eyebrows.
To do so may cause blindness.
Make small sized bags, the size of
your hand of turkish toweling, fill
them with your favorite talcum pow
der and pat them on your body after
your bath. The powder will sift
through evenly on your skin and the
powder ''aftermath" on the floor will
| be avoided.
For Better Homemaking
The Bureau of Home Economics ad-
vises that the best way to clean leath-
er upholstery is by just using good
suds and water. Make a thick suds
of neutral soap using as little water
as possible. Go over the upholstery
with the suds and wipe off soap with
damp cloth. Polish off with a dry
cloth. The Bureau states that furni-
ture polish or furniture oil may con-
tain solvents which will soften the
finish on leather and make it sticky,
therefore they should never be used.
