Modern Menus
By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX NEA Service Staff Writer

Tho first household responsibility of today'S bride is to take a nutri- tion course. Tn these times, the bride must learn how to keep her young husband and herself in good health, despite food costs, priorities and taxes. That's the advice of Alta Given, noted home economist.
 "When you learn what to feed your husband, next learn how to prepare and serve it attractively," she adds. Miss Given is stage director" for H! Williams, the American photographer whose pictures of food have won many art awards. Remember, even the appetite of the bridegroom must be wheedled by pleasant appear ing food and accessories" she said.
 Eat From Tray in Living Room
 Get two attractive trays, large enough for complete services. Place your hot food on them in the kitchen. Take the trays into the living room and eat in comfort and cheerful surroundings. Use end tables for the trays and on another table have sauces, sugar, coffee, etc."
 If your bridegroom works in- doors all day, why don't you take your trays out into the garden" she adds.
 Select trays that are light, large enough and have shallow borders. Arrange them with individual mats and napkins in colors that wash well.
 Trays are especially useful in homes where the men work in war industries all night. When they return early in the morning, and the other members of the household are bustling about, serve them a nutritionally bal anced meal on 8 tray in quiet, pleasant part of the house.

 Heart and Arteries
 Reading your little book "CVD" has done me more good than all the medicine l have taken. have what the doctors call myocarditis, and I never could understand much about 1t until I read the booklet. told my doctor about 1t and he borrow ed the booklet. He said later that you give some fine instruction and I would do well to follow the sug- gestions. (F.W.T.)
 Answer-Thank you and your doctor. My own opinion is that the booklet is not bad, but. not good. Glad to mail any reader a copy on request - inclose ten cents and stamped envelope bearing your ad- dress. "CVD" stands for cardiovas- cular degeneration-heart and artery disease.
 Had polyp removed from intesti- nal tract. It wasn't malignant but had reached serious stage. No cancer in family. Is such growth liable to recur? It is liable to become cancerous? Doctor advised semi annual check-up. What other advice can you give? I'm not the worrying type but I want to take every reces- sary precaution. (M. w. S.)
 Answer-It is neither liable to recur nor liable to become cancer ous. My advice is that you report to the physician for examination at least twice a year, and otherwise dismiss it from your mind.
 Husband had humps, also a cold at the time. He was very i'll. Since then we have been told there will be no children. (MrS. G. J. M.)
 Answer-Your use of the term "cold" in this instance makes the question obscure. If the humps was complicated by orchitis, that would not affect potency, virility or fer tility unless perchance both testeS were involved in unusually severe in- flammation. If only one gland was involved there would be no such i'll effect.

Ruth Millett you much of a conversational start to meet a wo- man and be told only one thing about her = what her husband does. That doesn't offer you much of a clue as to what she is like or what she is interested in.
 Besides, 1t has a snobbish sound For mention of the husbands work Is supposed to be impressive. It is supposed to make you think, She's married to a man whose work is important enough to make her somebody" PAY FULL HONOR
 TO INDIVIDUALITY
 Why don't we women stop that stupid procedure and introduce each other for what we are our- selves.
 If Mrs. Smith has lovely gar- den, or is important in civic work, or is 8 fine musician, let's say so when we introduce her instead of saying: This is Mrs. Smith. Her husband is lawyer"
 There are very few wives. today who aren't persons in their own right. Most of them don't have to be tagged with their husbands job in order to seem worthwhile. Put them on their own socially - and just see if they can't make this grade.

OLD TIMERS ovERDo IT

My physician ordered me to omit all fresh fruits, in cluding tomatoes, from my diet. have been on this diet now for three months. Should I take vitamin c tablets while I get no fresh fruit or fruit juices? When I asked the doctor about this he just sncrted and said only crack pots worry about yitamins and in this country everybody gets all the vitamins he needs from foods.
 c. M. Wo
 Too many old timers in practice still cover their ignorance by doing that little act. Unfortunately good many of them actually believe they are right about it-or rather they believe the bigshots who introduced the act to the profession were right, authough the bigshots themselves have lately seen the light and now recognize that the majority of peo- pie in this country suffer more or less from vitamin deficiencies. Trouble is that the big shots do not apply themselves so industriously to the business of getting publicity for themselves by telling the world through medical and medical magazines, popular magazines, news papers-what they think about it now. It will take five or ten years for the newer knowledge of nutrition to permeate the rank and file of the medical profession and get the old timers notions clarified.
 Today any medical practitioner who is fairly familiar with the progress of medicine as recorded in current literature knoks or should know, that it ie the duty of the physician who prescribes a re- Stricted diet for any purpose to see to it that the patient supple ments the diet with adequate daily rations of whatever vitamins the special restrictions may happen to reduce below the minimum required to maintain normal functional effi- ciency. The physician who fails to attend to this does not give his pa- tient a fair deal.
 It is becoming increasingly man. ifest that notwithstanding the "sci- entific" pretensions of the voluble spokesmen of the profession good many old timers who have not been able to keep abreast of progress in recent years are now practicing the kind of quackeKy the correspondent describes, and sad to say, they us- ually get away with 1t.

 To judge by the many queries that followed L-85, the government order setting the slim silhouette for the duration, American women are acuteIy conscious that these times call for slim ankles, knees, and calves.
 Reducing those three parts of you won't be easy. But if you exer- else correctly, regularly four times c week for three months, you'll surely see A change for the better.
 Here is a routine to slim and shape ankles
 Sit in a straight chair, your legs Outstretched. Relax ankles and rotate feet round and round. Now pull heels back and tilt toes toward floor as a ballet dancer points" !" Then reverse, and repeat ten times. Or stand erect, hands on hips, toes out, heels touching. Rise to tiptoes, lower heels to floor, bend from knees to squatting position, return to standing position. Repeat six times.
 To reduce calves, stand erect, heels together, toes out. Place one hand lightly against wall for sup- port. Now kick right leg forward. Reverse. Take about eight kicks in each direction with each leg. TAKE TT EASY
 AT THE START
 Knees will gain in shapeliness and grace when you Timber them faithfully. Stand barefooted with heel of right foot touching left in- step. Bring right knee upward, pointing toes toward floor. Slowly lower right foot to floor, placing 1t just behind left heel. Repeat four teen times, then reverse, lifting left knee.
 Take care not to put too much steam into the routines, particularly when you first begin doing them. Don't take them too fast, and don't repeat any of them more than fif- teen times in one exercise period.

belief is the $50 or more ships which
are their personal Labor Day dedica-

"Many of these ships are being de-

their consistent ability to beat deliv-

are working in direct competition to
