feeding of children? (B. G)
 Answer-So far as know none Of recent vintage is better than that quaint old handbook "Holt's Care and Feeding of Infants. If you're willing to risk the young 'un's hap pineSs, send ten cents and stamped envelope bearing your address, for The Brady Baby Book. Oi course this is wild and woody, for instance as to feeding wee tikes bananas and such stuff, but believe 1t or not I get testimonials these days from people who were raised on the teachings therein.
 q Plea
 Formed habit of eating ----'s baking powder ten years ago. Used to eat 3 boxes a week, now much less, but have to have soyre every two or three days. Doctors said it wouldn't hurt me now If 1t hadn't hurt me all the time I've been eat ing 1t. (M. W. K.)
 Answer-I agree with the doctor. Craving for such unnatural tE~igs is a common peculiarity called pica -chalk, clay, ashes, etc. Generally harmless, has no special signifi- canoe. More wholesome to chew on would be handful of wheat. some oatmeal or rolled oats, raw carrot, turnip, cabbage, potato, etc. I r.- member when I was kid I craved peanut shells and preferred 'em to the peanut.
 One Kidney
 One kidney removed a year ago. Getting along fine. As Q cook I spend long hours in kitchen, be- come very thirsty. drink much wa ter, milk and other liquids. Will this injure the remaining kidney? It is alright to take some beer or a little whiskey occasionally - I find little peps me up when I get very tired on the job. (R. S.)
 Answer-The spare will carry on as efficiently as two kidneys, if you take care of it. Drink as much milk. water or fresh fruit juice bev- craze as you like, but taking alco- holic beverage or liquor is a risky sort of abuse of the remaining kid. ney.
 NeurOtic
 Have 20-20 vision in both eyes and wear glasses for eyestrain. Can eye muscles be strengthened by exer- cises? (J. l.. L.)
 Answer-I do not understand why you wear glasses at all, with normal vision. Eye exercises is so much ho- kun aside from the natural exer- else the eyes get in viewing distant and close scenery or objects.

WINDOW SCREENS IN WINTER

We keep windows screened the year around because many of the fool bugs don't sem to know whether it is summer or winter. Some one recently observed that the cricket's chirp is Speeoier. more chips per minute, when the wealth CT is hot, slowing down in rate with colder weather. In way this may be true, but troup of crickets outside of my windows gradually slowed down notwithstanding the nights were as warm or balmy as ever and finally quit altogether about the time the Marines reached the shores of Tripoli. Probably their union rules require that they knock off for the winter, whether winter comes or not.
 In every part of the country, es- pecially in the north and the east, where artificial heating is neces- sary, window screens Of unbi:ached muslin are useful for maintaining healthful humidity. in the bedroom, in the schoolroom, in the shop or office.
 Many years ago Dr. J. B. Todd of Syracuse, N. Y, introduced the cloth window screen method of V:n- tilating or air conditioning school rooms, shops, bedrooms, offices and the method was employed ss tisfac- torily in schools in many parts of the country, from San Diego, Cali fornia, to Plymouth, Massachusetts.
 One or more windowscreens :l.ade of unSi-ached muslin. full size of the window or at least half-sash size. may be used for each room. The screen does not exclude day. light, but does exclude wind, snow, rain, dust, insects, drafts, yet ad- mits fresh air and adequate mois- ture to improve the umidity in the heated room. After months of serv- ice such screens become soiled, but may be taken out and washed. For making the screens Dr. To6d sug- gested plain unbleached Piquot or Black Rock cotton cloth.
 Dr. Todd found that ,here was a saving in fuel for heating schools so ventilated, and that pupils and teachers felt more comfortable all day, in fresh air containing more rcarly the normal amount of mois- ture although the schoolroop tenn perature was a few degrees lower than is ordinarily found in heated schoolrooms otherwise ventilated.

 Brows that are brows are the latest tidings from Hollywood. It's not merely that bread arches are seen on stars like Rosalind Russell, who Haunted exceptional, much-there brows all the while that the Dietrich plucked-to- nothings were standard. It is that a whole lot of the stars-Anne Shirley. Leslie Brooks, Margue- rite Chapman, for instance sud- denly are adding to instead of taking away from their brows. I don't know whether priorities have caught up with steel tweez- CTS. More likely, the gals just feel" that threadlike brows are somehow out of kilter with the times. just as long and pointed fingernails are no longer smart.
 So if you want to be advance guard. keep your eyebrow pencil as we'll as tweezers handy. You should look neither shaggy nor shorn. It's more important than ever to fol- low the natural line of your brow throughout your makeup technique.
 Besides pencil and tweezers, you need an eyebrow brush. and for special occasions mascara and eye shadow.
 Brushing the brows with a clean brush, please stimulates and trains them. If you have naturally even growth, why alter the shape? Hair between the eyes, over the bridge of the nose, and odd. out-of-line hairs. may be plucked. But it might be better to i'll in bald spot" with pen. cil than to even the line by prun- ing.
 See that your pencil point is sharp and does not Smudge. Pen- ell with very light. short. up- ward and outward stroke, making a line like a hairline. A false shape. false direction. is obvious.
 Mascara and eye shadow are effective when used correctly. Ap- ply the shadow first. It can match the color of your pupils. or the color of the natural shadows you can see at the inner corners near the nose.
 Or it can be a contrasting color green, for example, is becoming to red-brown hair and hazel or brown eyes. Spread the shadow with your fingertip, starting at center of upper eyelid and sweep ing diagonally to the outer tip Of the eyebrow. Concentrating shadow at outer area tends to make eyes look wider-but e blotch there, or anywhere. just looks like a black eye.
 Mascara goes on slowly. evenly lightly, and rarely on the lower lids lashes especially if yours are skimpy. Concentrating the mas cara ct the outer corners of the upper lid makes the eyes seem- ingly longer; placing it at the cen- ter of the upper lid effects wider looking eyes. Too much Is too bad.

 New York.-The Marines have landed. And likewise Commandos, the WAVES and the WAACS, the Air Force and the Navy. They've captured Toyland for the duration, and they're capturing the interest of Christmas-minded Mamas and youngsters.
 Their military strength suggests that U. s. youngsters, when they get their Christmas 1942 toys at home will start an assault that will make all the past battles of al the realm of make-believe look like tin-soldier stuff.
 SCALE-MODEL TOYS
 Tin soldiers are out and out dated. This year, the toymakers offer instead troop transports of plastic, scaled to U. S. specified tions. This year it's jeeps, sub- marines and sub-chasers for kids hardly old enough to hold 'em; it's cardboard soldiers, aviator training cockpits, rifles, tommy guns, air spotter kits, and, above all uniforms. Dolls are in uni- form too The big excitement in Toyland is the battle suit and the battle toy that puts the child into action.

We all know that feeling of what on earth to have for supper when you haven't planned something definite and there's mot a thing in the house to eat" Well. we think these dishes are the answer to that problem.
 Few of us eat enough vegetables and perhaps that is because we get tired of having vegetables the same cid way day in and day out. We. Tn the Yankee Kitchen, are partleu- aaFly fond of vegetable rings and we are giving you a recipe for one Df our favorite combinations. You can cook fresh vegetables for this if sou want to, but leftover vege- kahlss are perfectly all right.

Construction minded youngsters can assemble this wooden tank model. The sound of a machine gun is given off by the boys wooden tommy gun simply by

 tial materials are good-sized wheeled pieces once of iron or steel, now of wood.
 There are big hickory and maple wood scooters - commando cars, tanks, jeeps, pursuit planes, big enough for the youngster to get in and go with. hardy enough to last out many an imaginary Guadal- canal.
 There are not too many of those toys, but you may be able to find some if you shop early enough, which means immediately. Out standing news of 1942 toys is the fact that supplies will change stringly as you get nearer Christmas - that is, most depart ments will run out of certain toys quite a while before Christmas because recorders cannot be ob- tained from manufacturers.

 In the past Junior has been sent to school to get his mind-not his body-trained. In fact lot of par ents have in the past looked with disfavor on the rougher sports like football.
 JUST THINK-SPANKINGS
 And just think of the public school system of a large city favoring spanking. in this age of progress sive education, where even parents are supposed to be able to manage their small fry by please" and "thrank you" rather than by the promise of a spanking for dis obedience.
 And what change it is going to be for children who have been driven to scsool and driven home in good weather and bad to be ex- pscted to walk as much as two miles, if their parents can't spare the gasoline to keep on hauling them.
 It's new trend, all right-so new that it takes Sis and Junior right back to the good old days when Grandpa and Grandma used to hoof 1t to the little red school house.
