Glo,ifing Yourself
By Alaeis RaES
NRA seryice etafY Writer

If these first balny spring days are finding you not quite bright Tn your mind-slow-moving as well as slow w-thinking--it may be because you haven't bothered to get rid of the few extra pounds you gained during the winter months. Or 1t may be because you haven't bother. ed to do anything about getting to" gether 0 spring wardrobe.
 Nothing has . more deadeniag effect on c wornan's spirits than knowing that she has put on enough weight to make all Of last seasons dresses unweayable. And nothing makes her less sure oS here self than wandering around In her winter coat and on old black felt hst long after everyone else has blossosned out In navy blue suatS and flower bonnets.
 Even though Q new hat isn't !n the cards at the moment and a new suit just isn't In the cards at all, there's no sense in succumbing to hopeless resignation or, worse yet, martyrdom. It's more sane and more fun to figure out Q way to make last springs suit seem fresh and new again or to re.trim an old hat or to get Q new coiffure so that the old hat has c new setting, at least.
 DIET WILL TAKE
 OFF THOSE POUNDS
 The problem of the few extra pounds can be solved easily and quickly simply by going on . liquid diet for one entire day, then eat- ing frugally for a week or 90 or yn. til the excess weight disappears. It's 6 simple matter to lose i've pounds. but not easy at all to lose ten. Re- member this if you are tempted to put of dieting until summer or fall or next winter.
 Fad and starvation diets are e mistake, of course. The smart girl prefers to eat light breakfasts (frriit juice. c hot beverage and one slice of thin, lightly.buttered toast) {: light lunches (clear soup, salad with precious little dressing. fresh or stewed fruit and c bevcrage) and moderate diners. One helping Of everything on the dinner menu is allowed, including bread and des- sert. But no second helpiugs and no nibbling between mealsi

 Despite the bitter feud between the dental profession and the low brow ccgsdictot ot this column I would e soon address the bishop aS Buddy" as would q dentist by any other title than Doctor" Al. though ! may seem to have 8 chronic peeve against the dentists the ruth is that I cherish . secret adtniration for them and the high standard of their work.
 stu and all that has nothing to do with the effort to determine wlaat causes tooth decaly, cavity formation, dental carries and how best to prevent it. Between rounds, while their seconds are whispering advice in the dental profession's ear and mine would probably el1. courage me ir1 the same way If ! had any, we might both consider that after al lthe sole aim, end or excuse for the argument, contro- versy or debate is to decide what Is best for the health and well being of the public. If we could fight 1t out on its merits without the sub- versive influence of commercial ir- terests, I believe we could soon reach Q decision and have an end to the quarrel.
 As an independent profession dentistry Is now just l0l years old --loie was the centennial aninver. sary of the founding of the first school of dentistry--the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery. In 1888 Harvard University did what she should have done thirty years be- fore. She opened a dental depart ment and began teaching dentistry as 6 branch of medicine, and zar- yard established therefore Q sepa- rate degree, D.M.D., Doctor of Den. tal Medicine. The other dental schools (Baltimore, Cincinnati, Phil- adelphia) conferred the more fanil. iar degree DDS, Doctor of Dental Surgery.
 Last year Harvard courageously led the way which ell dental schools will soon have to follow or else ciose-&he announced that here. after students of dentistry must first complete the regular medical course ard have the degree of MD. before they enter the Harvard school of dentistry.
 That's all l have been shouting about. Dentists actually practice medicine and surgery anyway, and 50 thy ought to be M. D.'s first and then have whatever special train ing may be necessary to quip them to practice the medical spcialty they elect. It looks as though Harvard has knocked the props from under my proposal that dentists without medical training be designated "dentors." They'll all be Doctors before long.
 Perhaps it Is due to their inade- qiate medical education that most dentists favor theories that dental carries Is . local condition, due

WOMAN,S REALM=
Unique Flower Arrangement Is Lovely to Look at, Easy to Do
BY BETTY JANE HENRY NEA Service Correspondent

New York--ltS spring - garden time-tlower time. As the season goes or, you'll probably find your self using flowers to brighten up your home a lot more than you did during the winter. If you are not already pretty expert at arranging flowers attractively, this is Q good time to pick up some pointers on the art of making vases and bowls of blossoms Into composed un- Its that fit tarmoniously into the general decorative scheme of your house.
 M. ooldfarb, New York florist, Is currently teaching groups Of young women the art in Q reg. ular School of Flower Arrange Ynent. Here is one of his arrange raents that has proved very pop- ular. It is inexpensive, easy to do and charming to look at. It's per- feet for an end table in your living room.
 WIRING DOES NOT
 HURT FLOWER
 All you need for this is one dozen pansies, Q large brandy snifter, about 10 inches high, or a transparent pitcher of about the same proportions, needle flower holder mad some very thin wire.
 Wire is necessary when work. ing with pansies because thier heads are inclined to droop. (You can get practically Q years sup. ply of wire from your florist for ten cents.) To keep their heads up draw the wire through the calyx, or place where the petals join the stem. Pull the wire through to its center, then wrap both ends around and around the stem. They need not cross more than two or three times on e long stemmed pansy. Contrary to pop. ular belief. wiring does not hurt the flower, but does hold 1t up longer and makes the stem more pl!sble.
 Always wire the whole stem before you cut, and to not cut o11y 9U0ssts uAtVsA yV1 AteVV ssS@@o va cd the height with your eye. Ar. range your flowers In the needle holder before you put them in the snifter. The purple pansies should be tallest and inserted first in the holder. They should be measured to stand a little higher than the snifter. Below this, ar- range purple and yellow pansies shading down to the pure yellow at the bottom.
 The color scheme may be re- versed as long as you shade down from one color into the other. The flower holder should always be covered, 50 be sure and put at least one pansy on the bottom to conceal 1t.
 When your arrangement Is cona- plete, turn the snifter on Its side and insert t he holder. There should be about six pansies standing above the snifter and six inside.
 If the faces of the pansies in- side the snifter seem to be mud died, up take an old stem or a pencil and push them back in place. Last Of all put in the water. Just cover the stems. Usually as, inch or so of water is plenty.

 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Wheat to Eat
 If one eats . dish of wheat, cracked in the cofsee mill and cooked e short time, as cereal every morning for breakfast will that sup" ply an "optimal ration" of vitamin B complex? (Mrs. B. J3
 bujlo
 Answer-Not that alone, though 1t is an excellent habit. Williams and spuies quote Gin their book "Vitanin B,"-Macmillan '58) Baker, Wright and Drummond as follows: The best fed members of the pop. ulation today are getting twice as much vitamin B-i as people on the low income level, yet consume less vitamin B.1 than the paist poor of the eighteenth and earlier nine. teenth centuries.
 Of course wheat contains, mol pure B-l alone but the entire B complex. Send c stamped envelope bearing your address and ask for monograph "WEeat to Eat"

Told daily chewing of this mixture is harmless for one who wants to break the tobacco chewing habit. T. o. W.) Ar1swe-It Is harmless enough.

Send stamped envelope bearing your ad- dress and ask for monograph 'To- bacco Habit"
 Dampness
 Live in fiat with two children, ih and 8 years old. It is very damp. Will 1t hurt them, as I have heard you get rheumatic fever?
 (Mrs. P. O.
 Answer-It may not be as com. fortable as a dryer place would be, but I assure you dampness never causes any illness.
