New York's designers have es- chewed trailing garden dresses with parasols arc fioppy hats, sports clothes that are not completely functional as well as handsome, and everything else which bears no re- lation to the way Americans, live, work and play.
 They have borrowed an idea here and there from the men and turned cut for the suburbanite and women who live in the country stunning but utterly practical weskits, skirts that look slim but have plenty of pleated fullness for walking con- fort, plaid and checked wool jackets in the new, longer length, smart little wool dresses which can be dressed up or dressed down, hats that stay on in a breeze. In a word they have plumbed fashions depths to the nth degree.

How mortifying-to stammer a poor speech, then have brand-new club member rise and speak with delightful ease!
 Lack of poise in public speaking can be such a handicap in club life. Yet you could become as self assured as anyone by learning few rules, practicing a few tricks before your mirror.
 With head up, look straight at your reflection and speak aloud throwing your tones to the front of your mouth. Just as easy to face an audience that way-instead of looking timidly at the ground, muf- fling your voice.
 What to say isn't such a problem either. Welcoming a guest, a cor rect and gracious speech would be "It makes us proud and happy to have you with us.'
 In longer talks, clever to start with an anecdote. It relaxes you, pleaseS the audience. And dramatic to repeat a key word as in the fa- nous: HERE is one third of the nation ILL nourished, ILL clad, ILL houSed-NOW!"
 Other aids to poise are knowing correct form, parliamentary pro cedure. Our 32-page booklet gives parliamentary rules, pointers on voice training; tells how to prepare and deliver speeches. Gives sample talks for many occasions, tips for toastmaSters.
 Send 10c in coin for your copy of PUBLIC SPEAKING SELF TAUGHT to Waterbury Democrat, Home Service, 635 Sixth Ave, New York, N. Y. Be sure to write plainly your NAME, ADDRESS, and the NAME of booklet.

 l have been a reader of your co., umn fo "a long time (writeS D. O. I have been especially interested :n your articles on the ambulant treat ment of hernia, because my son aged 25 years, had bad hernia for some years and would not have it operated on. Three months ago while lifting heavy object, I had sudden sharp pains in my right side reported it to my employer who had me examined by the Insurance Oompany's doctor. He told me that I had a rupture and that it ought to be operated on. I told him I wanted it injected. After some ar gument I referred him to another man, aged 65 years, who works in the same place with me; this man had received the injection treatment for hernia and had been well since. The Insurance Company's doctor wanted to know who had given him the injection treatment and I told him it was a Dr. -. The company doctor then sent for the man who had been cured by the injection treatment. They examined him, three different doctors, and stated they could find no sign of rupture.
 My son went to Dr. who had successfully treated this man, received the treatment and is now cured.
 Finally the Insurance Company authorized me to take the injection treatment from Dr. -and the results were excellent in my case too. My father, aged 68, is now receiving the injection treatment for his rupture!
 I thought you might be interested in our experience, for we have you to thank for calling our attention to this excellent treatment.
 CD. G. and J. O.
 Medical literature in the past five or ten years has contained stead fly increasing amount of discussions and reports on the subject of in- jection treatment of hernia. One of the best textbooks on Hernia (that of Dr. Leigh F. Watson, second edi- tion published by Mosby Co.,, St. Louis, 1938) devotes several. chapters to the injection treatment. Any doc tor or surgeon who professes to be incredulous of the value of such treatment would do well to take time out some day and study Wat sons book.
 Not every case of hernia can be treated by injection. Operation is still the only chance of cure for hernia sufferers-I say chance of cure, for of course neither operation nor injection treatment is certain to cure in every case. But the percen- tage of failures is as large or per- haps larger in cases operated on

For Pattern 291 has been especially designed by Claire !l- den to flatter the woman wno mas reached the fascinating forties or the selyery-chic flfties. It's a par ticularly good style for the hgure with A heavy bustline, for those two bodice panels are gathered for con cealing. softening lines.

 The smart mother who firmly intends that her small daughter will grow up to be an attractive young woman, if not great beauty. instills in the child, before she is B.. sound habits of good grooming.
 The youngster is taught to brush her teeth properly and to use a mouth wash in the morning and at night and, if she comes home from school at noon, after lunch as well. LEARNS TO LIKE
 HER DAILY BATH
 She is encouraged to enjoy her nightly bath. As soon as she can handle a brush, she is taught to brush her own hair before going to bed. She cleans her fingernails with a cotton-tipped orange stick when she washes her hands before meals. Because her mother has figured out system whereby no soap ever gets into her eyes, the child enjoys weekly shampoo.
 On the theory that a child won't bite or pick at nail which is en- tirely comfortable, experts agree that nail biting often can be cured by the simple expedient of a semi weekly manicure.
 After they have been trimmed with scissors the nails should be filed gently with an emery board to eliminate all rough edges. Jagged bits of cuticle should be shipped of. Rough spots ought to be smoothed down with a piece of wet pumice. After the manicure, oil should be left on the cuticle around each nail for ten or fifteen minutes.
 LEARN HABITS
 OF NEATNESS
 A little girl can be taught to hang up her clothes when she takes them of, to put trees in her shoes, to keep her handkerchiefs in neat pile, to put her toys where they belong when she has finished play ing All of these points may sound fuss-budgety, but the fact remains that the child who learns habits of neatnesS and order when she is very young has a really good chance of growing up to be an impeccably groomed woman.
 The matter of posture certainly>i is important. No mother should feel that she has done her duty by her child's posture when she has said: Nov hold your shoulders back, dear" Shoulders should be square, of course, but, if posture is to be excellent, stomach must be held up and in, chest must be carried high and the backbone must be in as straight a line as possible.

when there is not as much direct sunshine as in the summertime.
 Egg yolk is the richest food source for vitamin D, but oils made from the flyers of sea fish contain much more. Here's why.
 On the surface of the sea, in the sunshine, float large masses of a tiny form of life called plank ton. The action of the suns nays on certain substances in this plank ton forms vitamin D.
 Small minnows and shell fish feed on this plankton. Then along come cod and halibut, who feed on the small fish. The vitamin D which the sun put into the plan ton is now stored in the liver of the cannibal cod or halibut.
 Along comes man, catches the cod, and makes cod liver oil from his liver. There, in a roundabout way from the sunny sea, comes our vitamin D.
 The doctor will know whether the children should have this concen- tarted vitamin D. Many specialists in nutrition believe that it should be added to the diet of all grow ing children during the winter months.

 There must be enough calcium and phosphorous in the blood to start with. Then citamin D must be present to keep them in order. Most mothers have heard the word "rickets". It is the most common nutritionaI disease oc- curing among children of the temperate zone. Fully three Eourths of the infants in large sites show signs of rickets.

house, just by pulling the old help less" line?
 A girl who can take a car apart and put it back together again cer- tainly can hang the living room curtains, pull the ice tray out when it's stuck, open cans, or even fire the furnace.
 The girls probably haven't thought of this possibility yet. They're feel ing patriotic and are tickled to be tinkering with motorS-au the while thinking, If war comes I'll be useful citizen, perfectly capable of doing work that has always been considered mems work. I'll free one man to take up arms for his coun- try"
 That's a fine thing to be thinking. TRADING MECHANIC

 But if they aren't needed for na- tional defense, will these same trained mechanics, married to young men who know more about guns than engines, think as they lie under the family car in grease stained overalls, Isn't it nice that I can do mans job, and leave him to the evening paper?"
 Things may be evened up lit tie, though.
 No young man who has peelel potatoes in the army can pull the "helpless" line in his own kitchen. So if in the future Mama has to be the family mechanic, she may insist that Papa be first assistant in the kitchen.
