Milk
Helps to Build
Stout Muscles
Youngsters Should
Realize Its Value
In Development

II small boys who balk at drink
Ing milk could be convinced Of the
true merits Of milk in helping to
make muscles grow they would
down 1t as eagerly as Popeye swal-
lows spinach in the movies. But
In spite OF the fact that milk out
shines spinach in many ways, no
body can deny that the placid COW
with all her virtues pales into in
significance when compared with
the dashing appeal Of that sailor
man who fights to the finish.
Milk well deserves its title OF
most nearly perfect food" for 1t
contains all the body building ele-
ments. For muscle building, for
tissue repairing, proteins are re-
quired; they are contained In milk.
The body needs carbohydrates and
fats for fuel; milk has them in
easily digestible form. Protective
minerals and essential vitamins,
needed water all these are
found in milk. No wonder the Gov
ernment-indorsed diet for health
building calls for quart day for
growing children, expectant and
nursing mothers, and at least pint
a day for adults.
To include this amount Of milk
in the family's daily food the home
maker has a wide variation of milk
and dairy products from which to
choose. She may use fluid or evap-
Grated milk. dry milk. buttermilk.

served or in liquid or natural form.
AS a guide to equivalent amounts
she gauges her servings according
to this general rule: One pint of
undiluted evaporated milk or one
fourth pound of dry milk or one
third pound of cheese has about
the same food value as one quart
Of whole, fluid milk.
The simplest way Of serving milk,
Of course, is as beverage at meal
times or in-between times. pleas
antly chilled. The means Of using
milk in the menu, however, are
endless limited only by the
ingenuity OF the homemaker. Some
of the common devices for intro

are its use In
Breads,
Cakes,
Cookies,

of Beauty
For Young Lady
In Her Teens
Fresh Loneliness
Not Artificial
Look, Is Best
By Patricia Lindsay

Oy 4 NETtCt0 Ltn0SOy
The very young lady who is not
yet 20 must remember that her
beauty code should be fresh love-
liness - not sophisticated glamour.
Many are the years before her when
she may experiment with glamour.
During her teens It is more i'm
portant to achieve freshly
scrubbed look, shining tresses, .
clear, glowing skin, alert, gay eyes
and white, even teeth.
If the dentist says, ~You must
wear braces for several months" !"
then wear them. All your life you
will want even, od-looking teeth.
Take pride in your general ap-
pearance. Do not be sloppy in your
grooming routine. Never tumble
into bed with your face not scrubbed
span clean and your teeth brushed.
If your complexion is clear learn
how to keep 1t that way.
If your complexion is poor and
spotty learn how to Danish those
tell-tale blemishes. Then do what
is required, even to giving up choco-
late sodas, pastries, fried foods, fatty
meats. candy.
Never be guilty Of a dirty scalp
or unclean body. Soap and water
are cheap and your best bets for
acquiring a fresh loveliness.
Limit your makeup to lipstick II
you can. If you keep your skin
beautiful that will be possible.
You may have on your dressing
table to encourage beauty good
cold cream, a bottle Of beauty grains
to prevent or Danish whiteheads or
blackheads and minor discolora-
tions: a hygienic lotion, a flesh
toned liquid used to dry up "hickies'
when they appear or tone down a
skin redness which some girls have;
a hygienic paste If your face is
blemished which is applied after
using the cleansing grains and left
on overnight.
OF course. you will have nice
vivid lipstick-not one OF those
blackish hues, but a gay red one
which looks young and exciting
For your nails you will have the
necessary manicuring implements
plus a bottle OF dressup liquid polish
in a shade appropriate for your
years and coloring.
You may want a powder founda-

on gala nights when you want to
emphasize your dewey look and
wear powder along with your lip

1t was good form to include his
nickname this way in social COL
umn.
Answer-In q friendly type OF So
cial column 1t would be quite all
right. But II the writer would have
had to be so formal that all names
were given with titles he should
have called him Mr.. John Gregor
and nothing further.
Dear Mrs. Post: Should wire be
answered that tells Of q death and
funeral arrangements?
Answer-Since the fact that you
were sent telegram indicates that
you are a member of the family or
else q very intimate friend, you
should either telegraph or write a
note Of sympathy or you send flow
ers-or perhaps you do all three.
Dear Mrs. Post: We are four busi-
ness girls stu in our mid-twenties
who for over five years have been
living with Mr.. and Mrs. Brown, an
elderly couple who have made q real
home for us. Mrs. Brown died last
week and We are all very sad, not
only because we miss her but be-
cause we don't know what We ought
to do about staying here. Mr.. Brown
has told us that he hopes we will
stay just the same. Two of us think
We should stay, the other two are
afraid It might look wrong now that
Mrs. Brown has gone. An elderly
maid comes in part time. will you
give us your opinion?
Answer-It seems to me that four
OF you together could certainly with
out causing gossip continue to stay
where you have been living all the
time. But If two leave, it might
change the whole picture for the
other two, especially If those leaving
gave as their reason for taking
rooms elsewhere that they did not
like to risk criticism. This sugges-
tion might give the gossips some-
thing to think about.

Paddock Demands Action
On D. {. Health Menace

Representative Paddock. Republi-
can, of Illinois demanded in the
House today that the menace of
epidemics be removed promptly from
the Capital, which is "the general
headquarters Of worldwide war
effort"
Quoting testimony of DR.. George
c. Rutland, District health officer,
before an Appropriations Subcom-
mittee April II, he said: "Dr. Ruh-
lands alarming statement has been
amply supported by recent articles
in Washington newspapers.
There can be no doubt that the
filthy slums which have been tol-
Grated for so many years are now a
grave hazard to our crowded city.
Epidemics of typhus, malaria and
typhoid are feared by DR.. Rutland
and bubonic plague, spread by
swarms of rats, is not unlikely"
Representative Paddock pointed
out that it is from overcrowded
dwellings where people live in I'M
sanitary surroundings that house
hold servants, hotel employees and
restaurant workers come.
IF the local authorities need more
legislation, which I doubt, they
should ask for and receive it," he
said. "Dr. Ruhland's inspectors
should be given authority to close
unsanitary premises without the
present lengthy and complicated
procedure. Landlords who repeat
edly violate the law should receive
Jail sentences"

LONDON, May THE govern
ment today rejected proposals that,
in order to avert fuel rationing,
thousands of miners be released
from the British army ION the eve
perhaps Of great new campaigns"
AS cabinet spokesman, Hugh Dali
ton, president of the Board of Trade,
told the House of Commons that re-
lease of enough men to produce the
100000 tons of coal which the
government hopes to save by ra-
tioning would mean blotting out
whole battalions of some of the
finest regiments in the British
army"
Churchill Raises Prospect.
you would propose" he told op-
ponents of rationing, ito pick the
eyes out Of large sections of our
striking force on the eve perhaps
Of great new campaigns, much can
vassed and much debated"
The prospect Of new campaigns
also was mentioned by Prime Min
lister Churchill yesterday in a letter
to 1t. Comdr. l.. w. Joynson- Hicks,
conservative candidate for Parlia-
ment in Chichester.
"The time approaches when our
accumulated strength will be
matched against our enemies in
every theater of war;" Mr.. Churchill
wrote.
Indorsing Comdr. Joynson- Hicks,
he said the government had
moulded the nation from a con-
dition of relative defenselessness
into mighty instrument OF
offense."
Mr.. Dalton said plans already had
been made to release 1000 miners
from the army and obtain 1000
more from the ranks of civil de-
fense workers and industry, but de-
clared that without rationing many
times that number would have to
be taken from the army for work in
the pits.
Atlantic Battle Critical.
What sort of echo" he asked,
would be raised in Washington and
Moscow if the army were weakened
further at this time simply to avoid
to civilians.
Mr.. Dalton said "the battle of the
Atlantic is still in a very critical
stage" and it was essential that
shipping space be saved by using
domestic coal rather than import
ing oil
1t might also prove necessary to
send "a good deal more" coal to
Russia next winter, he added.
