.GIOrifing
Yourself
By Ahcla Hart

If your reassuring look in the mir
ror just before going out for an inn
portant date Is never as reasSur1ng
as you wish it might be-remembel
| this:
If you have face that is ct all
expressive or mobile, If you have
eyes that reflect your feelings, IL
you smile with al lyour face, not
| lust your mouth, you can't possibly
measure your attractiveness by
looking in the mirror.
REFLECTIONS
| ARE MISLEADING
There you see your face In re-
pose. But your friends, your new
acouaintances, anyone who talks to
YOU for even a moment, sees your
face when it is alive, alert, inter-
eSted.
And that is an entirely different
face. Of course, while you are re-
assuring yourself with this thought,
you'll have to face a less flattertng
side of the question.
Since the expressiveness on your
face is SO much q part of its beau
| Cy-are you sure tAldb ~ NoNUAJ -
fleets pleasant, happy, interested
frame of mind
If you are frequently bored, II you
suspect that you often look tired
and listless, If you are discontented
with your life-then the expressive
ness of your face will be handi-
cap instead of added attractiveness.
Your mirror won't tell you about
your expressions. Because uncon-
sciously you straighten out the lines
| in your face before you glance IN
| mirror.
But a member of your family or
a good friend could tell you honest
" whether or not you usually show
happy, animated face to the world.
If you feel like one young woman
know, you won't have to ask about
the face you show the world. She
once confessed to me, II feel so
much prettier than am" If you
are like that-you're bound to be
better looking to your friends than
you are to your mirror.

Remodel Your Figure
With These Exercises

@SuA6J 0SVAhoSA NA"AS 4VuA AUOAS
"a stunning style-if I had the
figure for it,"
So many women just give up
about their figure faults, choose a
dress that's kind" to bulgy stom-
ach or dowager'S hump-and look
years older.
So easily, with the proper ex-
ercises, such defects could be cor
rected. You get a bulgy stomach
or dowager's hump when back
and abdominal muscles are too
slack to hold you erect.
To get the feel of right posture,
stand with feet a little apart, then
place one hand on the abdomen,
pulling it in, and place the other
hand on the bullock muscles, push
ing them down. Now grow tall",
pulling up from the pelvis.
Soon, with this exercise for back
and abdominal muscles, you make
erect posture habit, have a trim
figure.
Sitting, place hands on floor
behind hips and stretch body up
ward as far as you can without
taking weight from seat. Have back
straight, chest out, abdomen in,
head back. 2-Slump forward with
rounded back. Repeat to z times.
To correct other unlovely figure
faults, see our 32-page booklet. Has

AS fuel or fattening food celery
is insignificant-it is one of the
least fattening foods one can eat,
containing only about a hundred

with potatoes which contain about

For the winter supply of essen

mote from low cost fresh fruits and
fresh vegetables a crop of celery
growing in the basement is a dis
tinct advantage, especially II the
celery is not bleached-the greener

The clipping enclosed seems to
show that the professor claims the
idea of potassium for hay fever as
his own. I found the suggestion in
your column over a year ego and
used 1t with most satisfactory re-
suits for my hay fever &c. B. I'd
Answer-Thank you. The profess
sor's claim is evidently that he con-
ceived the idea of using another
salt of potassium as an anti-allergic
remedy. Medical literature has con-
tanned great many reports on the
use Of potassium chloride for al
leroy in the past two or three years.
Hay fever, asthma, various food al
lergies, recurring hives. weeping es-
zeina, allergic rhinitis or Impressive

the nose, machine gun sneezng at

ports to be sinus trouble respond

Stellar pitching dominated today as

Pittsburgh Pirates exchanged shut
outs before a crowd of 25,096 in a
pair of games twice halted by light
showers. The Cards won the opener,

20.
Mort Cooper bested Bob Klinger
in the first game, allowing only five
hits and permitting but one Pirate
to reach second base. Klinger held
the Cards to six hits, but the Red
Birds won in the second inning
when Johnny Mize walked, advanc-
ed to second on a single and came
home when Martin Marion hit into
a double play.
Big Max Butcher personally scor-
ed the Pirates winning run in the
second game and collected two of
