NOT ONLY are people in the
United States nutrition and
food conscious, but also those
living IN England.
Mrs. William Chittenden OF
the Book Cadillac Hotel and
one of our recent Red Cross nu-

on 10 us Food Facts from
Punch or The London Charivari.
These facts appear in the Eng
liSh paper under the SPONSOR
ship of the Ministry OF Food.
Not only can we learn air
raid teChniques from the Eng

conservation. They make US

away scraps of food rather
than bother 10 make them up?
do you have odd snacks dur
ing the day?
do you eat just a little more
than you need at mealtlmes?
In peacetime these indul-

time they matter vitality!

this is merely the statement of OF
Doc Brady-take it or laugh it off,
as you please. But don't try to con-
trovert it, because I refuse to quar-
rel with old women, fiShWives, Sal
reygamps or Wiseacres over fun
domental fact of physiology.
Sweating is important for health
and comfort, of course, and fair
amount Of 1t is fine for both the
physical and the mental or moral
well being. Trouble with too many
health-ignorant folk Is they try to
get by with vicariouS swea ting, or
with passive sweating - sweating
they hire done for them-instead
of doing their own sweating. This
is not the place to describe the
relation of sweating to health, fur
ther than to say that it has to do
with heat regulation and indirectly
with circulation. But this is the
place to say and I do solemnly say,
without fear of contradictions
with plenty of fear of you know
what-that If you sweat from now
till eleven o'clock next June you
can't eliminate" enough poison"
toxic waste matter" or "acid" or
rheumatism" or "bile" or cuBed-
ness to make any appreciable diff
ference IN health Or sickness. Null
that over, Mr.. Wiseacre. and drop
me line if you can find any physi-
clan, psychologist or other qualified
expert who purports to refute it.

Graduating chronic blem.shes is a
job for an expert or two-your
physician, your cosmetics specialist,
or both.
There's no harm in temporarily
covering a blemish. If you discover
one just as you're off to party and
it cuts your poise, do conceal it.
Also, If you have a freckle or other
mark which annoys you, conceal
ment is for you. An outstanding
house has a new cosmetic made just
for this purpose.
But If you have persistent blem-
ishes, do not rest with hiding them.
Go to your family doctor and find
out what is at the root of the
trouble. 1t may be bad diet, lack OF
exercise, or you may need a special
kind OF cosmetics. The physician is
the best one to prescribe.
There are, of course, competent
beauty experts who can do a good
blemish-el.minating job. Some
salons offer aacourse of facials to
increase circulation, draw already
formed poison from the pores and
steriiize the skin. They advise the
client to have a thorough facial in
the shop once week.

At night, wash again with soap, use

through a clothes wringeD, rinsed,

The girls who are to serve as my

The maid Of honor is quite tall. I
want TO have them carry old fash

the maid of honor could carry a

that be correct or should they all
carry the same type OF bouquet?
A. There is no absolute rule. The
main point to be considered is that
the effect of the wedding party
should be pleasing. Generally, it is
better for all the attendants to car
ny one type of bouquet.
@. Can you suggest a good top

A. Try equal parts of whipped
cream and white cream cheese, with

Even before Paris fell, while New

People who ran it took precautions.
They limited and identified press
photographers. set watchers in the
audience. Yet at the next crack Of
dawn, mimeographed sketches and
unauthorized photographs of the

in the cheap market.
More significant, though less dra-

The "camera-eye" works at the

FUNCTIONS OF THE SKIN

FUNCTIONS OF THE SKIN
Howell's Textbook Of Physiology
probably the authoritative work in
this country, contains a fairly COM
prehensive description of the func-
tons of the skin, but not even a
suggestion that the skin absorbs
anything.
Within the past year or two a
number of reports have been pub
lished by physicians claiming that
the effects of the Injunction of ONT
ments of the sex hormones are
nearly as we'll elected as they are
by hypodermic or intromuscular in
lection or by simultaneous implan-
tation of pellets of the pure crystal
line hormone. How true this may
be is not yet established-it is diff
cult to judge how much psychology
cal suggestion may have to do with
results in such cases. However, If
it does ultimately appear that hor-
mones produce their physiological
action when applied to the skin,
or Doc Brady will have lot Of
bowling, scraping and backing down
to do, though at present he doesn't
believe the possible exception would
materially change the sound work
ing rule, namely. that no one need
worry about absorption of any
poison through the skin in any cir
cumstances, If the skin is not
scratched, cut, blistered, burned,
punctured or otherwise freshly
broken or opened.
We might logically cite Starling's
Principles of Physiology" or any
other recognized authority on human
physiology to support this state
ment:
In order to test the alleged
elimination" Of divers "poisons"
or toxic wastes" through the
skin, in the sweat. as a remedial
measure against disease or an aid
in promoting health, many precise
chemical analyses of the sweat
excreted under various conditions
have been made. 1t may be re-
garded as established that in any
circumstance the sweat contains
PRACTICALLY nothing but salt
