SAFEST TO WASH ALL
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES

DR.. R. H. Riley, director of the
State Department of Health gives

 At the age of eighty, it is amusing to see people throw up their hands in horror when I tell them I eat bananas-they declare bananas are the hardest thing there is to digest. !. (W. s. T.)
 Answer That's Just one of the many popular food fallacies. In the booklet "The Constipation Habit and Colon Hygiene" I urge the liberal use of bananas in the everyday diet. In the "BBBB Baby Book" I urge feeding the puny, marasnic infant ripe. raw banana. Such infants thrive on banana diet. For copy of either booklet send ten cents coin and stamped envelope bearing your address.

BUCKWHEAT IS GOOD TO EAT Plain wheat as it comes from the thresher or to the effete urbanite from the seed store, feed store or perhaps the farmers market, is for ordinary persons and for many in- valids most digestible and nutritious and should be mainstay of the everyday diet. In the pamphlet Wheat to Eat" (for copy send tamped envelope bearing your ad- dress) I describe in detail the spe- cial benefits to be derived from eat- ing wheat and give recipes or h. structions for its use.
 The popular obsesslons or preju- dices that prevent many from eating wheat have grown out of the spe- cious claims made by generations of food purveyors for the highly nu- tritiouS" and "easily digestible" vir- tues of their products, the layman inferring from such statements that plain wheat is not SO nutritious and not so digestible.
 It is difficult to account for the common notion that buckwheat is hard to digest or that it causes this or that complaint, especially if any other than hard working man or woman ventures to enjoy buckwheat pancakes of a cold morning when he or she does not intend to go out and saw wood or raise a roof. suppose buckwheat has earned its bad reputation because buckwheat pancakes, yeast-raised and well-but- tered and favored with maple syrup -of course fianked with plenty of good coffee-are such darn good eating-and the thought of them so tantalizing when you're far from realm of cooks who know how to make 'em. It was almost maxim of old time dietetics-the only kind some doctors know-that whatever you liked to eat was probably bad fer you. I don't think the cooks who made yeast-raised buckwheat pancakes had any foolish notions like that. It is the inept and un- skilled individual who boldly pre- tends to be a cook and often gets away with it, that so readily agrees that buckwheat pancakes are too heavy" for refined folk to eat.
 For one thing buckwheat contains nearly twice as much vitamin B complex as wheat contains, and wheat, you know, is the best natural food source of vitamin B complex in the everyday dietary of most people.
 Buckwheat flour yields precisely the same number of calorieS as white hour-1660 calorieS in the pound. It contains a little less pro- tein, a little more fat and carbohy- drate than white flour, the same amount of water, and of course more mineral matter than white flour. There is nothing in the composition of buckwheat to lend the slightest weight to the notion that it is in any way objectionable in the diet of any one who can eat bread or any cereal.
 Please don't invite me to break fast unless you are serving the pam cakes yeast-raised. I'm not particu- lar about the syrup-good molasses or ordinary table syrup will do, but the pancakes must be yeast-raised or I'll send regrets.

Gloyiing Yourself

 The days of trying to make the long suffering customer think that it's all done with mirrors = magic mirrors - apparently are gone for good.
 Nowadays, there's hardly a hair, figure or even facial salon which doesn't really insist that the cus- toners go in for home treatments between visits to the shop. They don't pretend that there are any great secrets about proper groom ing.
 "It's simpler and certainly pleas anter to have someone brush your hair or cream your face for you than it is to struggle with routines at home," the experts admit. And, naturally, it's more fun to do ex- ercises supervised by an interested exercise teacher than to do them alone.
 HOME ROUTINES
 SAVE MONEY
 "But professional supervision puts beauty into the luxury class. It's wonderful if you can afford it. If you cannot, be happy in the thought tht you can get real benefit from home routines. Planned by experi- enced authorities, they are effica- cious without being complicated"
 Pretty Betty Bruce, musical com edy tap dancer, says that, since she had few lessons in how to do it., she doesn't mind at all taking care of her own hair. She can give her. self a cleansing, toning scalp treat ment in about fifteen minutes. Aside from the hair health angle, her efficiency along these lines comes in pretty handy when she doesn't have time to have her hair done before 8 party.
 BRUSHING
 REMOVES DUST
 First, she brushes her hair briskly and quickly to remove dust and loose flakes of dry scalp. Then she dips a bit of cotton in scalp tonic, wrings it until it is no more than slightly damp and rubS it briskly along the part. The moist area is massaged lightly with fingertips for a second or two then wriped quite dry with a clean towel. Another part is made and the application of tonic, light massaging and wiping away steps are repeated.
 When every inch of the scalp has been both stimplated and cleansed. Miss Bruce rests her head in her hands and messages. She doesn't rub her scalp. She messages it. Now comes a final brushing, with upward and outward strokes, of course.
 Afterward, Miss Bruce pushes waves back into place and uses a special little brush with a tail to arrange ringlets. Being healthy and easily manageable, due to frequent treatments, the pretty dancers hair goes into place quickly, looks fresh and alive, as well as smarthly groomed.

among these youngsters, the tourna- ment produces a champion who goes on to win fame at national tourna- ments.
 Last year one Of the winners of the pair championship was young Tobias Stone of New York unheard of before, but now rated as a clever player. I admired his card reading on today's hand-he was certainly watching for details.
 Stone (South) played low on the opening spade lead and East won with the king, shifting to the three of hearts. Dummy's ten won, the club finesse was taken, West won with the king and led back dia- mond. East won with the jack and led another heart.
 South won, cashed the ace of
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-10-07

clubs, ruffed out the two of clubs with the ace of trumps, and re- turned to his hand by diamond ruff to take out East's trumpS.
 Why, thought Stone, didn't East return spade when he won the first spade trick? East was marked for only two spades, due to Vests was that East must hold either the queen or ten of spades, probably the ten.
 At this point, therefore, Stone led the jack of spades, forcing West to cover with the queen. Dunn my's ace won and of course East's ten-spot dropped.
 So the contract was made be- cause the declarer was alert to the little detail of East's failure to re- turn a spade.

Describes Herbert Address
As Propaganda.

To the Editor OF The Star:
According to dispatch from London
on January ~, A. p. Herbert, editor of
the British magazine, Punch, is re-
ported to have told the Association Of
British Journalists, that America must
not have anything to do with the peace"
and to have warned that "the last time
she left us with large baby called the
League Of Nations" The dispatch re-
ported him as adding: Nov she is en-
gagged in dressing up its poor little corpse
and calling it a federal union"
Such rot, but you cannot expect less
from q wit. But this is the type Of
propaganda that the British propagan-
dists, wits all. are using to deceive their
own people. Mr.. Herbert simply has
thrown back into the faces Of his own
people something that had its origin
with the favored few colleagues of Lord
Miner in the late 80s. The League Of
Nations and its modern counterpart,
federal union or British American union,
was conceived In England. sometime
before the Boxer Rebellion In China.
