Gloriting Yourself
 RR Amela MaEA
M AMcie Hart

More often than not it's @ mis- take for the mother of teen age girl to take too seriously every last bit of sundry advice about the im- portance of keping young girls young looking and natural.
 Her fresh, natural look is Q youn girls greatest asset. She cer- tainly should not wear a lavish amount of makeup or clothes that were designe dor her sophisticated old sisters.
 However, about the most certain way for mother to make sure that her high school age daughter will be lacking in poise and self-con- fldence is to refuse to let her use lipstick and powder long after all of her high school friends have started using them. It's worse yet If her mother makes her wear babyish party dresses long after girls Of the same age are going to hih school dances in rather grown-up dance frocks.
 The adolescent, unlike her mother, simply doesn't care about being ir- dividualistic. She wants to look like every other little girl in her crowd. She wants to wear the kind of clothes that they are wearing, use the same slang, read the same books. The very idea of being different is abhorent ct her, makes her self-cor- scious and unhappy.
 Wise mothers appreciate this. You don't catch them tmaking their daughters wear short day dresses to dancing school if every other girl in the class is allowed to wear floor length crowns. They permit the use of lipstick and powder just as soon as 1t becomes apaprent that mothers of all the other nice little girls in the school have given similar per- mission.
 Furthermore, they see to 1t that the youngsters have the right cos- metics for their young and tender skins and that the jobs of applica- ton are done skillfully. They don't make mo makeup" rules, but neither do they tolerate smeared lipstick or unblended splotches of rouge.

The Simplicity of These Oriental Flower
 Designs Fits The Scheme of Any Room
FIFTH or SIX ARTICLES
BY BETTY JANE HENRY NEA Service COrresnOndent


 The Japanese have always been noted for the beauty of their floral arrangements, which are particular ly appropriate for modern living rooms but look equally well in any other type.
 One typical, lovely arrangement is done with six yellow calla lilies, four calla leaves, Q rectangular or oblong dish and Q large needle holder.
 The needle holder should be placed at one end of the dish. As you will notice in the picture, the small lilies should stand higher than the larger ones. Calla lilies need no wire as they are strong and very easy to bend. You should bend them slowly, with a massaging motion.
 This arrangement is lovely on @ buffet in dining room or on an end table.

 AT A LOW LEVEL
 Another beautiful Japanese ar- rangement can be done with dozen spider lilies and a sprig of Merton Beauty ivy.
 Place eleven lilies in a needle holder in one corner of an ob- long dish. You can use a bit of the ivy, to hide the holder, but the rest should float on top of the wa- ter-from the holder to the opposite corner of the dish. Let the twelfth lily rest on top of the ivy.
 Both of these arrangements should be on low tables or some where below the level of the eye.

BLOOD POISONING


 It seems evident, from the com ments of correspondents, that there Is still much misunderstanding of blood poisoning.
 The most common use of the term is to signify septicenia, that is, in- vasion of the entire body by disease germs via the blood stream. This occurs as e complication or con- sequence of injury, wound, opera ton or possibly some trifling scratch, puncture, sting, pimple or ahscess. The most familiar symp- toms of such blood poisoning are general malaise or wretched achy feeling as though coming down with grip, chilliness or actual chill and feverishnesS supervening.
 Of course any poison that may be taken internally, inhaled or oth- erwise absorbed poisons the blood as 1t poisons every other tissue in the body. A great many ill-advised people consequently or frequently take poisons that are destructive to blood corpuscles, in the form of dope purporting to cure headache, fatigue, worry or what have you. The analgesic or pain or sensation numbing ingredient of such dope Is usually one of the coaltar deriya- tives, all of which are more or less destructive to red corpuscles, in- furious to the heart, and interfere wit h the oxygen carrying function of the hemoglobin.
 There is no such thing as blood

poisoning of any kind from dye verdigris, rust or similar substance getting in a wound. The old super. stition of lockjaw from puncture or scratch by a rusty nail was pure superstition vr fancy. The lockjaw, if 1t occurs after such wound or in- jury, is always due to infection of the wound by the tetanus bacillus, and a nail is as likely to carry te- tanus bacilli Into wound If the nail Is bright and new as 1t Is If rusty. ,u
 There is an impression among those who delve in the literature of quackery that poisoning by toxic wastes" and "autotoxenia" or "au. tointoxication," meaning absorp. ton of waste matter from the In. testine, is & cause of anemia. There Is no scientific basis for this morbid notion. It is the invention of char. latans - medical or otherwise - who hoped to sell more physic tc the Wiseacdes of America by keep ing the poor goofs worried about that. I present the physiological truth about this in the booklet "The Constipation Habit and Colon Hy- giene," and any one may have copy on request if he encloses ten cents coin and a stamped envelope bearing his address. But I decline to debate the matter. Either accept my view or reject 1t, but you can't tell me anything about 1t. Only 8 physiologist can do that, and no Wiseacre is a physiologist -- If he were he couldn't be such a goof. Unquestionaply constant or pro- longed exposure to air slightly pull luted with carbon monoxide may cause anemia.
 I'll admit that many victims of the constipation habit are anemic, but the physics they take cause the anemia, not the constipation.
