During an ordinary summer the

As a result. the Jumps on her

But this has been no ordinary

So where are you now? PROBABLY

point in the summer.
whats to do done?
Well, there are two courses open.
First, you can make 1t your busi-
ness to 60 in really actively for ac-
tive sports and, in addition, do spe-

ing before it gets too hot.
Secondly, you can put yourself IN
the hands Of an expert who Will
shoulder your figure worries Tor you.
If YOU decide on the latter, the
story Of Barbara LORE ought to be
encouraging.
SINGER HANDICAPPED

Last April, Miss LORE enrolled
in a corresponding beauty school
which specializeS in teaching wom-
en- to make themselves over from
head to foot. The young actress had
decided that unless she lost weight
and improved her appearance,
chances for stage and night club
success might be endangered, de-
spite her really good voice.
"After a year Of refusals OF night
club and stage work, admitted to
myself that I was greatly over
weight, awkward-in fact, not IN the
the least good looking.
II knew that these things didn't
really affect my career so long as
I chose to stick only to radio. But
I made up my mind that wasn't
going to let my appearance limit
more or close any roads to success"

Miss LORE went to work in earn
est early last spring. Today, she Is
svelte beauty. And she has sing
ing engagement in night club.
Miss LORE weighs Is pounds less,
has perfect posture, wear her hair
beccmingly, knows how to mare for
her skin property and apply make

groomed gives her poise and self
confidence which she lacked before.

took two hours a day Of her time.
Miss LORE insist that time never

A BOLERO FROCK
IN TWO VERSIONS

Treat your little curlylocks to a
gay surprise by making her TWO
bright new dresses from ONE pat
tern. Claire Tilden has expertly in
cluded two versions Of a blithe
youngster frock in Pattern 190-a
style that will give you no difficult
ties with the Sewing Guide for de-
pendable aid. There are two major
pattern parts to the front OF the
frock and two to the back. The sides
of the bodice are amusingly shaped
and are especially ga yin printed
contrast, perhaps with sleeves and g
small collar to match on the every
day style. The more party-like ver-
sion looks pretty with a round. COLI
larless neckline trimmed by stand
I'D ruff, and with merry little bows
down the wront. Add the bolero for
a costume effect, and to serve as q
useful extra topper with other OUT
fits. A fine suggestion Is to use
remnants from your own dressmak-
ing in stitching up this adorable
Riddle style that will prove so very
useful.

the body so much with excitement
that it becomes temporarily insen-

becomes sensitive from overuse 1t

The most common internal mus

Constipation comes first, as O rule.
Apparently the muscular walls of

become so irritable and tense that
they cramp down and interfere with
the progress Of food and its residues.

TRICHINOSIS FROM UNDER
DONE PORK

Trichinella spiralis, commonly
called trichina, is small round
worm less than one-fourth inch
long in the adult stage. It is a
common intestinal parasite in the
rat. The hog becomes infested by
eating rats. Larvae Of the worms
penetrate the hogs stomach wall or
intestinal wall and so get into the
Emphatic channels and into the
blood stream and are carried to all
parts of the body. The larvae in
the hogs muscle or other tissues
become encysted. Man eats the pork,
insuficiently cooked to kill the en-
cySted larvae. So the pork eater
becomes infested.
The cyst is dissolved in the stom-
ach or intestine, the larva set free,
and it grows into the adult worm
in a week, more or less.
At this stage, the setting free of
the larvae in the stomach or intes-
tine of the pork eater, if the infes-
tation is large, that is, with a great
number of the larvae, the victim
suffers nausea, vomiting, diarrhea,
pain in abdomen, sudden feverish-
ness. In the course of a few days
to week the larvae develop into
adults and begin migrating into the
tissues. With this stage the victim
suffers characteristic muscle pains
and tenderness, with continued or
irregular fever, prostration, ane-
mia, and in many instances pecu-
liar heavinesS or edema around the
eyes.
Some pathologists believe the
hog is the important host of trich-
ina, and that the parasite would not
survive in the rat If hogs were not
fed the uncooked offal from slaugh-
terhouseS or the carcasses of dead
hogs.
Microscopic examination of pork
is the only way to detect the pres
ence Of trichina. This is impossible
in the routine federal inspection of
meat.
Thorough cooking destroys any

RIDING OUTFIT Is
THE ACE OF THE
WARDROBE
BY MARION YOUNG
NEA Service stan Correspondent

NEA service Stam Correspondent
New York-The perfect wardrobe
for a vacation at q dude ranch is
made up Of casual, informal outfits
that are in keeping with the back
ground against which they will be
worn. In addition, of course, there
are clothes for special activities,
such as riding and fishing.
ANY seasoned dude rancher va
cationist will agree with fashion
at all in taking formal evening
gowns, citified day dresses or even
designers that there's just no point
more than two or three spectator
sports dresses in cotton, washable
silk or linen-like rayon. Everybody
wears riding clothes practically all
of the time.
Not that a dude ranch vacation
always means roughing 1t in the
Maine-woodS- log-camp manner.
1T WILL BE MODERN,
BUT FAR FROM DRESSY
AS a matter of fact, on any ranch
you're likely to choose for an Aug
ust of September holiday Cnciden-
tally, even October in as good time
to go as June, July or August, the
beds will be soft, the food excellent,
and the bathrooms modern. But in
spite of all the comforts Of home
being available, it's still true that
anything dressy is still out of place
against plains and valleys and gig
antic mountain peaks.
For motoring to and from the
ranch, lightweight denim and seer
sucker suits are the order of the day.
Wear seersucker and checked ging-
ham shirts with both. Seersucker,
as you know, requires no ironing,
and so can be washed en- route.
Both denim and seersucker suits
will be handy now and then while
you're actually at the ranch. So will

slipped on over shorts.
For riding, look at the smart

Q. What can be used to clean a
Evanvas awning?
A. Scrub it first with stiff
brush to remove the dust, then ap-
ply soft soap and rub briskly with
a fibre brush of suitable size. If
the dirt is stubborn, add little am

cleaned, use plenty of clear water

A. Generally it should not, and
the only time it might be used is
when there is deficiency of mag

@. How may I bleach a panama
