Nervousness
Causes Loss
OF Allure
Beauty and Charm
Demand Absence
OF Any Tension
By Patricia Lindsay

y y
Even the most beautiful woman
sheds her allure when she allows
herself to grow nervous and lose
her poise. Therein lies word of
warning If you are becoming active
in home, business and war duties.
You can soon work yourself up to
such a pitch that it will be almost
impossible to relax. Then food
makes you miserable and sleep
eludes you. You grow nervous and
jittery. What use are you then to
those you love and to Uncle Sam?
So why not adopt a simple re-
gime to nip in the bud any i'm
pending filters? Why not avoid in
digestion and insomnia?
Indigestion, you realize, aids and
abets insomnia and insomnia en-
courages nervous indigestion. 1t
takes good digestion and sound
sleep to keep us healthy and beau
tiful, with the sparkle which is
necessary to face these long hard
days. Cram If you will, all your
other hours with hustle and hustle,
but let those devoted to eating and
sleeping be free from tension and
worry.
If possible, have your meals at
regular periods. Take time to eat
them slowly; eat with persons who
are congenial and pleasant. If
you are very tired and nervous when
mealtime arrives, relax before going
to the table. Even a few moments
Of complete relaxation helps. A cup
Of hot, weak tea at the end of a
firing day sometimes relaxes, or a
cup Of bouillon taken Is minutes be-
fore dinner Eat simple foods
few fats and starchy foods. Sixty
per cent of your menus should be
fresh fruit and vegetables and
whole grains. Dairy foods are es-
sential daily. too, as are liquids.
Drink plenty of water and milk,
some fruit and vegetable juice
every day. The body thrives on
those.
A few lucky persons can drop into
bed. close their eyes and sleep
soundly until morning. The major
ity of persons, however, experience
a nervous tension at bedtime. There
are different ways Of banishing this
tension. Listen to music, read a
book, write in diary, take a walk
IN the fresh air, play cards.
Solitaire, that old-fashioned, one
man card game, has come back into
vogue since the war. Perhaps it's
a quiet rhythm of picking up and
putting down the cards, the absence
of competition. acts like a sedative.
After few moments Morpheus be-
gins to call you. as you play. and
you give in. So If you have diff
Guilty in getting the sound sleep
you need, play a game of solitaire
while you drink a glass of warm
milk.
Do anything to preserve your
health and beauty-two assets so
vital to your happiness.

Build Physical Fitness
Take Your Condition Seriously
And Try Hard to Improve 1t

In England today women are
manning anti-aircraft guns, they
are harvesting the crops, working
on assembly lines and spending
their days In munition factories,
as well as driving ambulances and
canteen trucks under fire.
This war Is different from past
wars. Muscular stamina and fine
civilian and feminine health are
almost IS important as guns and
planes. Every woman will have a
part to play In this war and If
you don't know yet where you fit in
you can at least begin to get your
self in fine fettle physically.
Perhaps this war will make us
conscious Of facts to which we
hstenedDonly casually before. Maybe
1t will send thousands of women
on a search for physical fitness. If
1t does, the difference in the way
they will feel and look will convert
them to hygienic plan of life for
the rest Of their days! Headaches.
fatigue, complexion trouble and
overweight will disappear. They
will wonder why they haven't done
1t before.
Have a physical examination and
then streamline for Uncle Sam!

Mother has seen hundred homes
broken up by sloppy housekeeping,
so why doesn't she tip us of to the
fact that If we want to keep our
marriages a going concern we have
to make it comfortable?
"And why doesn't mother give us
the low-down on husbands and i'm
press upon our youthful minds that
while before marriage the man does
the courting, after marriage the
woman must do it? Before mar
riage he does the appeasing, after
marriage she has to do the walking
on eggs unless she wants her mar
riage scrambled.
"Of course, If our parents got
along together harmoniously we
have observed the flnesse with
which mother managed father and
how artfully she side-stepped his
little prejudices and peculiarities,
but we did not take the object lesson
to heart because we didn't expect
to marry a man like father. He Is
a dear, of course. A perfect lamb.
Just as fine as they make 'em, really.
But there is no denying that he has
to be humored and cajoled into
doing the things he said he would
never do. and generally handled
with gloves.
"And we are sure that there Is
never going to be any of this OBJ
sequious wife stuff in ours. We are
going to deal frankly and openly
with our husbands, and point out
their faults to them, and demand
our rights, and that they act like
intelligent adults instead of spoiled
babies. But, alas and alack, when
we try out this theory on our hus-
bands we find that 1t doesn't work,
and that they are cut off of the
same Adamite bolt of cloth that
papa was.
And we wonder why our mothers
didn't save us so many family
brawls, so much heartache and such
barrels of tears by teaching us, from
our youth up, few elementary facts
about how to handle husband and
make him like it? Why didn't they
teach us, for instance, that all hus-
bands have the head-of- -the-house
complex and that as long as their
wives respect that, they can rule the
roost as long as they please? Hus-
bands don't really care whether
their wives take their advice or not,
but they want them to ask it.
"Why didn't they teach us to keep
out of fights by avoiding arguments
and keeping controversial subjects
of of the carpet? Why didn't they
teach us to gumshoe around our
husband pet peeves instead of
humping into them? Why didn't
they teach us that the easiest way
to get money out of tightwad is
by praising him for his generosity,
and boasting in public about what a
grand provider he is? Why didn't
they teach us that husbands want
their wives to fiatter them and
cajole them and tell them how
handsome and smart they are? Why
didn't they teach us that as long
as we did this. marriage will be a
grand sweet song without any other
woman in the off1ng?
There is such a lot that our
mothers could teach us about mar
riage that would save us from max
ing a mess of it. And they don't.
I wonder why?"

Not at Home
Is Accepted
Socially
Phrase of Formal
Politeness Has
Two Meanings
By Emily Post

To be told that Mrs. Jones l.
not at home" may mean that she
is out or it may mean that, for
whatever the reason may be. she
cannot be "at home" to visitors. In
other words 1t is a phrase Of formal
poHteness, to replace the rudeness
of "She's at home, but she can't
see you" Perhaps its accepted use
can best be explained by saying it
Is exactly like the reply, "Very well
thank you," which we are expect
ed to make when an acquaintance
unmeaningly asks, How are you?'
To go into a long description OF
how we really feel is proper only
If we have been seriously i'll and
the question is asked in solicitous
tone of voice.
This explanation is made to one
who tells me: MY maid has scru-
Piles about answering the door and

that particular day. I have tried
and tried to explain that this is
simply an accepted social formality,
but she still believes that I am
calling upon her to tell an un-
truth. Perhaps if you wrote some
thing 1t would help explain"
Dear Mrs. Post: When should the
bread and butter be put on the in
dividual plates-before people are
seated, or after?
Answer-In formal service, after.
Also in the simplest family service
the butter dish is put on the table
and people help themselves. Mid
way is the service by a maid who
alone cooks and waits on many; it is
more practical to fill the glasses and
put bread as well as butter on the
butter plates before announcing the
meal.

Before you give up your present
job to take what looks like better
position at higher pay in some other
locality, investigate living condi-
tions there thoroughly and carefully.
In some places where war indus
tries are booming, rents and prices
are much higher than they are In
your home town, and living condi-
tions are far from ideal. These
disadvantages, plus the problem of
making new friends and new con-
facts in strange locality, may far
outweigh the bigger salary you will
receive-especially If you are a girl.
If possible, visit the new town and
look the situation over before you
make a definite move. Send for
copies of local newspaper and
study the Rooms for Rent" ad-
vertisements, as well as the prices
in other ads. Try to talk to some
one who is already on the ground,
who knows what conditions are from
actual experience.

Georgia Will Quarantine

ATLANTA, Oct. Is. - Cracking
down on venereal disease with a
precedent-setting order for State

Announcing its program in an
order issued by the State Board of

stringent regulations aimed at
checking what it described as an
epidemic "of such proportions and
widespread nature that it is a
menace to the public health and
safety and is threat and deterrent
to an all-out war effort"
The order was drawn primarily
to eliminate prostitutes who have
flocked to the vicinity of large Army

Violation Of any of the quarantine
rules would be punishable as a mis-

pense Of persons suffering with
venereal disease, unless they are
receiving treatment privately.
Isolation posts, or quarantine sta
tions, are to be established as

Additional Rationino
Programs Rapidly
Vast Expansion Planned
For Henderson Agency;
Field Officials Confer
By the Associated Press,

Growing scarcities in more
commodities hastened develop
ment today of preparations for
additional rationing programs
and an expansion of the Office of
Price Administration to take care
of them.
More commodities will be ra-
toned almost as quickly as local
boards can take on the work, OPA
officials disclosed last night, reveal
ing blueprint for vast expansion
Of the agency headed by Leon Hen
derson.
As OPA field officers gathered in
the Capital for a two-day confer
ence on enlarged activities, OPA
ofacials said the expansion would
establish district Offices in 80 cities
Of 100000 population and add about
Is district Offices in cities of 75,0O0
or more persons.
Ofi1cials said the need for bring
ing closer supervision over the con-
sumer and the 10000 business
establishments under price control
was greatly increased by the recent
anti-inf1ation act and President
Roosevelt's designation of the entire
Nation as defense rental area.
Eight rationing programs already
are in effect-covering sugar, gaso-
line, fuel oil, typewriters, automo-
biles, tires, bicycles and rubber work
shoes-but growing scarcities will
make it necessary to add additional
ration programs almost as rapidly
as local boards can absorb them, Of
flcials stated. ...,.
The official sources declared that
all problems arising under price and
rent ceilings and ration programs
could not possibly be settled in WASH
ington, particularly in view of the
fact that speedy decisions are i'm
perative. .
AS presently outlined, each dis
trict Office would have at least one
specialist on price orders affecting
particular industries In its own COM
munity; specialists on the major ra-
tloning program operating in the
community; retail specialists, and
attorneys competent to handle oues-
tions of Interpretation and compli-
ance.
The regional Offices would be ex-
pected to handle problems arising
in the wholesale trade. Manufacture
ing problems would be handled at
Washington, while retail problems
in most cases would be the concern
OF State and district Offices.
