GlOrfing Yourself
By Alicia HaEs

The woman who is determined to stay young gracefully guards against the obvious sigTis of age.
 She doesn't try to ape the man. nerisns of her college-age daugh- ter, of course, or kid herself into believing that grap hairs and lines around the eyes are not inevitable.
 However, neither does she assume the i've are the old folks attitude" !" or, worse, yet, talk constantly about the good old days."e She lives very much in the present and thinks en- Enthusiastically about the future.
 She refuses to allow herself even to get into the habit of making the gestures commonly associated with age, such as clasping and unclasp- ing the hands while talking. She forces herself to concentrate on what others are saying instead of dreaming in the middle of g conversation. She doesn't drop out of discussion among several people and 20 of in a corner for a cozy chat with another woman.
 DOESN'T TALK ABOUT
 GROWN CHILDREN
 She doesn't talk too much about her grown children--and so appear to be living her life entirely through them.
 She certainly does not constantly refer to herself as aged and remind everybody that she is getting on. She doesn't repeat frequently, I'm not as young as I was once, you know" or T just can't keep up with that crowd any more."
 Furthermore, she never turns up her nose at current topics or the things in which young people are interested at the moment. She may not like swing music, but she cer. tainly knows who the leading ex- ponents of swing are. She refuses to be bored by discussions of poli- tics or any other subject the ma jority seem to like to talk about in any given year.

NO MATTER HOW SIMPLE

Iron and ammonium citrate is a complex ammonium ferric citrate officially recognized in the U. s, Pharmacopoeia--the legal standard for the purity and strength of medicines-and 1t contains approXi- mately 17.5 per cent. of iron.
 It comes in the form of thin, transparent. garnet-red scales or granules. Green iron and ammon- ium citrate scales or granules con- tain a little less iron. are more suitable for hypodermic administr- ton of iron.
 To make a blood tonic" which Is second to none in efficiency is so simple that some people can't be- lieve 1t. Here is how:
 Put one ounce of iron and am monium citrate scales or granules in four-ounce bottle. Fill the bottle with boiled water. Cork the bottle. Shake 1t up bit until all of the scales or granules are dis solved and you have clear red solution. Dose, teaspoonful, in wa ter sweetened with sugar and flav- ored with fruit juice, after meals three times daily, for adults; for children weighing less than 75 pounds, the dose is one-half tea spoonful three times daily
 Nothing complicated about that I hope. A good many readers have prepared the medicine and used il with satisfactory results. Some people, however, who probably would go hungry if they had to cook their own food, take the recipe to the druggist for compounding. We'll or something that sounds like it, if people are so inept they may as well drop into the drugstore and ask the clerk for a package of punk pills for pudd'nheads.
 The druggist claims. writes
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-11-05

Miss w. M, that If he compounds
 the medicine as you say 1t makes
 only about 1h grains of iron at
 a dose. which is not enough and
 should be five grains Or more. He
 has a preparation called
 If you dissolve one ounce of iron and ammonium citrate in four ounces of water teaspoonful of the solution will contain twelve to fourteen grains of iron and am- monium citrate or approximately 2ia grains of pure iron--no matter what the eager druggist may wish to sell you.
 In any case of anemia 1t is essen- tial to continue this tonic for sev. eral months uninterruptedly if 1t is to give substantial results, Of course the four ounces will last only eight or ten days. But 1t Is simple enough to prepare a fresh batch every week or so. The solution may spoil if left standing longer than that.
