 o. Why is orange juice and cod liver oil the first food given a baby. aside from milk?
 A. Because milk (mother's or cow's), lacks vitamin D and hasn't enough vitamin A for the baby's needs, and because vitamin c, which prevents scurvy, is lost when cows milk is boiled. Vitamin D is absolutely necessary to the proper formation of bones and teeth and other bodily processes. so some physicians advise starting 1t as early as the first week, or at least, the first month.
 O. Some time ago you published directions for removing lipstick and rouge from towels. I have lost the directions. VIII you repeat them2 vii disappear with ordinary laun- dering, but some kinds are set by soap. First sponge the spot with carbon tetrachloride. If the stains are stubborn, rub in a colorless grease such as lard or white vase line: than sponge the spots again with carbon tetrachloride. or bleach them with peroxide of hydrogen.

Follow These Simple Tips And Tea For Two Will Serve Three

By NEA Service
 With sales of tea restricted to half of their 1941 levels, a word to the wise on making tea last long, CT is better than sufficient. Illus trated here are four tea-stretching" tips. By following them, you should get 200 strong cups to every pound of tea you buy.
 Two sloppy teaspoonsful of tea are equivalent to three meas ured ones, so level of spoons and measure water carefully, as above. This will give you an extra cup for every two sloppily measured. MAKE SURE WATER
 IS BOILING HOT
 Make sure water is actually boiling, as at right, above, before pouring onto tea. Boiling water brlngc out full flavor and thereby saves the tea. It's also a good idea to keep clock by the stove as be- low, right, to time sleeping acc curately.
 You'll save a cup of tea day

As We Live And Breath

As We Live And Breath
 For a long time your booklet "HoN to Breathe" has been my health bible. But here is an item by an. other doctor who does not seem to agree with you about belly breath ing. (F. L. T)
 Answer-Quoting the item: "Au too many of us have become ab- dominal breathers, forgetting that the upper portions of the lungs need imitation as well as the lower" Oh, well, maybe if I hadn't sounded off about belly breathing all these years my distinguished health col- umn colleague would not now worry about that. Truth is that all too many of us have cultivated chest breathing and neglected or even tried to restrain or suppress natural belly breathing.

 Some of the incest things on the cosmetics counters just now are de- signed to foster feminine attractive ness in ways that are powerful strange to the ways of pre-war glamor.
 There is, for instance, smelling saltsl Imagine the, smart woman whose ideal was the hot heroine of lo3O's movies wanting smell ing salts. Grandma stuff, she'd have said. However, now when the smart woman's idea is the "vital woman" of the home front sky patrol, or the gun factory or the WAAC, she wants something more practical than a cocktail to pick up her late-afternoon spirits. IT REvIvEs
 TIRED NERVES
 At least that's the way the cos- metics manufacturer figures. He offers therefore an "olfactory cocktail" Not top of your head salts such as brought Grandma out of a swoon. But spicy revlver to relax overworked nerves. It comes in bottle-non- -prioritied glass and wooden cap.
 Similarly, the perfumer known around the world for his wicked heavy perfumes now stresses his blessedly cooling feel extrava- gant without being extravagant' colognes which convey freshness and vigor - frosted pine, for in- stance.
 Tang is the important quality in a brand new cologne by a manu- facturer who seeks to make you vivid and arresting." There is a toilet water, for dainty and slightly sentimental occasions, triple ex- tract for important ones. All are ill authentic, hand-painted replicas of old American apothecaries' jars.
 A new summer makeup, powder and powder rouge Is presented for extra confidence about nose that tends to shine in strenuous summer wcrk and play. The makeup is moisturc-resistent.
 To protect war-effort hands, a chemical house comes into drug stores with an invisible glove. The non greasy mixture is de- signed to keep skin clean - hands, arms, fingertips under exposure to those hard-work hazards, grime and stains.

How did women manage to be
beautiful in the days before COM
pacts, llpstlcks, creams and perma-
nent waves? That's a question we
are all asking now that government
priorities threaten to deprive lis Of
many of the beauty aids we've al
ways taken for granted.
It's interesting to look back and
see just how much time and trouble
a woman In 1882 needed to emerge
from the beauty parlor looking
glamorous and lovely. Sixty years
ago a woman planned In advance to
take a day off to go to the hair
dresser's If she wanted q shampoo
and curl. If any dyeing or tiating
was needed, she might plan to spend
a couple of days there because it
meant many applications and hours
Of drying for each one
Her hair was shampooed and
dressed, carefully and tediously by
an expert in the art Of ceiffure
Casually a MANI After that she sat
for hours while two girl attendants
famed her with palm leaf fans to
dry her hair. 1t was long and tire
some but she sat grimly through it.
Her cosmetics were put up in
small bottles by the owner of the
establishment to which she en-
trusted her beauty. He saved bot
ties, filed them with preparations
he used in his shop. wrote the labels
by hand, and sold the bottles to his
customers to take home with them.
They, in turn, saved the bottles and
took them back from time to time
to be reflled.
That's the picture of the hair
dressing parlor as grandmother
knew it. We are indebted to MIR. c.

NEW YORY CITY--Washing-
ton, the capitol of our United
States and the capitol of the
United Nations, is the bust
est spot in the world today
outside the battle fronts. Our
capitol city Washington at war
today operates perhaps the
most stupendous human MA
chinery Of mankind ever per-
formed in world history. This
gigantic octopus Of Democracy
which Yields the utmost power
Of deliverance and freedom
for all peoples is unmistakable.
This writer has seen and is
familiar with the masterful
works Of our great capitol city
several decades, but has new
err before seen such a dazzling
spectacle of activity. In a
kaleidoscope resume Of Wash
ington, viewed from a recent
visit to Washington, it might
be interesting to relate some
Of the many things now going
on down there on the banks Of
the Potomac.
It's packed today and
damned to the rafters with ey-
erybody from all points of the
compass on the face Of the
globe. If one were unaware of
a World War in session, one
would think you were In the
midst of a mass convention of
"old home" week celebration.
Even with the difficult tasks
they are doing, everybody
seems to enjoy the interesting
work and the intensity of af-
fairs-even though they are
leading up to death and de-
Struction-WAR.

than 100000 now has a million
people living, camping and eX-

er Of the Godefroy Company, who
did much pioneering work in the
beauty and cosmetic field. Dlssatls-
fed with the gas curling iron used
in the sos, Godefroy went to work
and invented an electric curling iron
which he patented In 1888. How
ever, only the hrayest Of his Gus
toners would let him use 1t, because
electricity Was considered very dam
gerOus in those days.
Later Mr.. Godefroy invented the
first electric hot-blast hair dryer
designed to speed up the lengthy
process Of drying hair. This dryer,
which looked a great deal like
stove-pipe. was the parent Of the
efficient hair dryers we know today.
Unfortunately, Godafcoy. didn't pat
emit this remarkable invention at
all because his business advisors
pointed out that there would never
be a market for more than a few Of
them throughout the country :.
not even enough to Justify the costs
Of a patent.

to save the Jars and bottles our cos.

refilled. Old llpstick containers and
metal compacts take on a new inn
portance, and we must use them ae
long as possible because the metal
that formerly went into them must
now be used for bombers and tanks.
