THE WOMEN
Social little White Lies"
ONLY Make Life Blacker

go to plays, instead of having to say
you are leaving town before you
really are.
If we do go in for honesty, you
could say to the woman who
wants you to go with her to look
at antiques, IT don't know any,
thing about antiques, and I hate
to shop" instead of saying you
have a headache.
And when you have dinner with
new acquaintance and decide
they are terrible bores, you could
drop the acquaintance right there
instead of calling them up to say
how much you enjoyed the eve
ming and can't they have dinner
with you.
It would really be SO easy for
us to start telling the truth. And
feelings needn't be hurt any
more than they, are hurt by the
truth in business.
LIES OFTEN
HURT FEELINGS
The lies often hurt feelings, any,
how. Once you find out that the
friend who said, "a few people
dropped in Unexpectedly" really gave
a bang-up party, you are more hurt
that she lied to you than that she
didn't invite you to the party.
So there's nothing to lose, and
much to gain-self-respect; peace
of mind (not always having to
worry about making up good
story and then having to worry
about remembering ito; and a
pleasant social life. You see the
people you want to see when and
where you want to see them, and
say a polite mo thanks at other
times.

Modern
Menus
BY MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX
NEA Service Staff Writer

Canned foods have their part in
the drive for economy. But you
must know when to use them. Many
canned vegetables and fruits are at
some seasons much cheaper than
the corresponding product in its
fresh state. The canned product,
when cheaper, also has the advan-
tage of requiring very little fuel,
time and effort in preparation.
In buying canned goods the grade
and size of the container make a
marked difference in cost but not in
wholesomeness, and for the most
part, not in food value. Families
who are very limited in food money
and are therefore following one OF
the cheaper diet plans are wise to
buy cheaper grades and to buy in
the largest container that the family
can use to advantage.
If the markets are abundant with
local vegetables and fruits, or il
wild greens grow free in the fields
near you, green's such as dandelion,
mustard, lambs-quarters and such,
use these low cost valuable greens
and vegetables with some of the
canned foods your family enjoys be-
cause of their high flavor and sea-
Soning.
In that way, you will combine one
very cheap type OF food with q
somewhat higher priced food anc
thereby keep within your budget
and at the same time add novelty
and extra flavor to the menus.
There is a canned chill, which
comes packed in tins on which is
printed the exact number of serv-
i ings in the can and also recipes
for using. This quality product is
the kind of thing to keep on the
shelves in summer for quick but sat
isfactory meals. Turn the heated
chilli into parboiled green pepper
cups and serve with an inexpensive
vegetable and large green salad.
Here's recipe using well-f1avored
condensed tomato soup with ma
caroni and cheese. The result will
be one dish meal, adequate in Wit
amins and nutrition, and popular
with all members OF the family
Serve with a green salad.
CASSEROLE OF MACARONI AND
CHEESE
(ServeS 6 to 81
Two tablespoons butter, 3 cups
macaroni, cooked, IL cup milk, !
can condensed tomato soup, ga cup
grated cheese.
Melt butter in saucepan and add
cooked macaroni. Heat well, then
add milk. Cook until macaroni has
absorbed all the liquids. Then add
tomato soup and grated cheese. Heat
until the cheese is well melted and
the flavors blended. Be sure the
macaroni absorbs all the milk be-
fore adding other ingredients, other
wise the sauce may curdle.

A Social Asset To Play
A Good Game of Golf

II your attempts at golf have been
feeble and discouraging how marvel
Gus the club champion seems as,
with mighty swing, she drives the
ball 200 yards down the fairway.
Yet she probably once did as bad
~ as you and she may have no
more strength or ability. But with
right instructions she has learned
how to use her strength.
Golf Is such fun, wins so many
social rewards when you play well.
Test your swing. Do you feel
cramped, make conscious effort to
lift your club, turn your body? Then
you're not really swinging, you're
wasting your strength.
For powerful accurate stroke
swing the club in smooth arc, al
lowing the body to respond to the
outward pull of the club, but max
ing no forced effort to pivot.
A good trick to get the feel Of
q real swing is to take string with
a weight attached to one end and
swing this in gradually increas-
ing arc. Now take up your club,
swing in the same way.
Your golf improves rapidly when
you understand the principles. In
our 32-page booklet Ernest Jones,
teacher of champions, tells how to
hold the club, how to stand and
swing with the maximum of power
and efficiency. For beginners an6
more advanced golfers.

A. Cook the fruit until tender

sieve or strainer and measure it;
to each two cups add one cup of
sugar. Boil this mixture until it is
thick and clear, being careful not
to let it scorch. Put the paste on

in strips, roll them in granulated
sugar, cover with paraffin paper
and pack In tin boxes or glass jars.
Another way is to sprinkle the paste

wrap it in paraffin paper, pack and,
when ready to use, slice 1t. This
paste may be used as candy or gar

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Roll Your Own,

Do you advocate the practice of
turning somersaults as daily health
habit? How in the world is a person
past fifty to attempt such aero
battles? CA. M. CD
Ans.-From the way you view the
matter you might have passed fifty
in the gay nineties. II your arteries
are extremely brittle perhaps you
had better not try to unbend now.
Illustrated monograph tells how to
roll somersaults and why. For copy
send stamped envelope bearing your
address. In one way it is depressing
and in another way exasperating
that so many readers bestir them
selves to conserve health only when
they sight a certain grim fellow
lurking in the offing.

Is now 81 inches and asks what il

Vest measure? Might as well ask
how long long underwear should be-
AS I recollect, the vest measure is
the mean between the chest measure

A man paost forty, IS inches tall
should weigh about $50 pounds.
Any man past thirty should worry
some about this rule: For every
inch by which the waist measurment
exceeds the chest measurment one
must deduct from one to two years
from ones life expectation.
The other day a woman reported
that by following the Rules for
Reduction" for I forget how long
but not so very long she had reduced
100 pounds, and was she delighted?
She seemed happy over the necessity
OF getting new clothes.
A chef in a state institution, age
SO, reports that he works hard every
day for eight hours and he doubted
he could stick to the reduction regi-
men laid down in RULES for Reduc-
ing" and carry on with his job, but
he had a go at it, weighing 240
pounds when he began, and has re-
duced to 210 in ten weeks, works
hard every day, and feels like a two
year old.
The secret of successful reducing
is, first, a sane and moderate regu-
lation Of the diet to bring about a
gradual loss of two or three pounds
a week, no more; second consistent
adherence to the regimen, once you
begin-it will not do to stuff your
self today and tomorrow with the
ever so earnest promise and inten-
ton to get back ON your diet next
week; and third and most important,
to supplement the restricted diet
with an adequate daily ration of the
essential vitamins.
Although the women are generally
more concerned about reducing than
men are, a great many men who are
overweight and gradually becoming
more so ought to adopt some reason
able dietary rules to prevent the
breakdown which inevitably comes
sooner or later in the course of
obesity.

@. Is it true that the faster a
child grows the more sleep he should
have? How much sleep should a
child of three have? How much for
an active child of twelve and an
adolescent of sixteen?
A. Studies made by the United
States Children's Bureau indicate
that child grows most when asleep.
A baby, less than year old, grows
very fast and sleeps most of the
time. When he gets little older he
does not grow so fast and therefore
does not need so much sleep. After
about a dozen years, when the child
enters the adolescent stage, growth
speeds up again and the older boy or
girl needs even more sleep than one
a year or two younger. Many parents
do not know this, and permit older
children to stay up later than
younger ones. with the result that
boys and girls of thirteen to sixteen
are often listless and inert. They
may be sleepy and tired most Of the
time. or moody and irritable. A
child OF three should have thirteen

twelve shold have ten TO eleven
