A PIECE FOR THE SCRAPBOOK
 read your articles no matter if I am a private in the Army -, stationed at -. I was in my second year of pre-medical at the University of - before I entered the army. I still hope to continue the study of medicine. l make 9 putting them in my notebook. l would appreciate all of your bull letins (Pvt. ).
 Just between ourselves, son, most of my stuff would only clutter up your notebook or scrapbook. How ever, your hobby is an excellent one. whether you continue the study of medicine or something else. But, take it from an old scrapbook boy, the only items worth preserving in that way are those that impress you as especially significant in relation to your career. In other words give place in your notebook, scrapbook or file only to items that make you think or initiate in your mind some new idea or some original line Of thought.
 I still find inspiration occasion ally in a scrapbook or notebook l begin keeping when I was younger than you are now.
 By all means cultivate the habit of keeping notebook or scrapbook on your own vocation or avocation or both, or even keeping a sort of dairy if that appeals to you.
 If 1t is in the nature of dairy or journal, let 1t be wholly your own, giving only your ideas, views of impressions, not for any one else, just for yourself. Such a pournal or diary, if it happens to pertain to events that would interest others, is the best framework for narTa- tive, in case you ever wish to tell the story to others. Far better than it would be to attempt to write a story or report for others as you go along.
 Keeping a dairy, notebook or scrapbook pertaining exclusively to your own point of view or your in- terest in life is a habit every young man or young woman with deter imitation to get on in the world should cultivate.
 Dipping into my old scrapbook I notice that I succumbed to the temptation to clip and paste in far too many brief health or medical articles anonymously published. Few of them contained any striking idea, as it seems now-they just clutter up the book and take space that might better have been given to something that made distinct impression, an impression that comes back clearly to ones mind on looking at the record after many years.

 There is a beauty prize in the comfortable shoes which war makes fashionable-when those shoes are chosen wisely.
 It is true that fine lines in the face can come from a cramped toe, but it's a mistake to think that the discomfort, and conse- ouently the line, can be erased by wearing just any flat-heeled oxford.
 Here are some suggestions for glorifying your feet by means of the right shoes:
 1, Shop for shoes in the after noon or after work, if you can, because this is when your feet are largest.
 2. Ask the salesman to meas ure your foot before fitting you even if you think you know your size. Feet change from time to time ad you cannot expect to wear one size comfortably throughout adult life.
 3. Be sure to try on both shoes Buy teh one that fits the larger foot.
 4. Remember thta you not the salesman-are the final judge of the shoes fit. Be sure that the shoes hug your instep, fits over the center of your heel bone. The toe of the shoe should not touch your toe.
 5. Buy the best quality shoe you can afford. Shoddy ones give no satisfaction while they last.
 6. Provide a change of shoes SC that you need not wear the same ones day after day. Shoes absorb moisture, need time to air and refresh themselves. This makes them last longer, lock better, and feel better on the foot.
 2. With good, slim, healthy feet and ankles, choose almost any shoe that looks and feels good, and that's sturdy enough to af- ford some support for walking and working. If you have soft, fat, or very flexible feet. better avoid the now popular strap shoe

Save cooking gas. This saves fuel needed for war industry, cuts your own bills, and often you will im- prove your cooking by following these scientific hints for better use of your gas stove.
 Keep top burners brushed clean with a stiff brush. Flame should be clear blue for efficiency. If not, call a service man.
 Use large pans over large burn CTS and small pans over small burners. The idea that cooking can be speeded by rapid boiling is wrong; water boils at PIP deg. F., and simmer flame will maintain gentle boiling, cook the food just as quickly and cook it properly to retain nutrientsh, and at the same time save half the gas needed for rtapid boiling.
 Heat water for cooking vegeta- Eles in the same pot you will cook the vegetables in. Use only just the amount of water you well need. Always use a cover. Use as little wtaer as possible. It not only takes less gas to heat, but saves waste of minerals and vita mins in the food.
 Turn on top flame only when

 Then when she makes up her mind to go with him anyway she often finds that he is jumped from one part of the country to another often not even staying in post long enough for the furniture to catch up.
 And Uncle Sam isn't nearly as generous as he used to be about footing the bills furniture shipped around the country.
 MAYBE THEY NEED IT IN WRITING
 So wives who quick on the uptake and aren't too slow to take hint think Uncle Sam would like to have them stay at home until the war is over - but doesn't like to tell them so.

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
Turpentine

Husband had infection from crushed toe. Chills and fever, and lower jaw ached. Then I remem- bered I had read that turpentine applied to infected sore would cure lockjaw. I poured a little on the toe. In just a few minutes his jaw stopped aching. He was in hospital three months but finally recovered.
 (Mrs. A. E.)
 Answer-Perhaps the turpentine did no harm, but I assure you, Ma am, 1t could neither prevent nor cure lockjaw in any circumstance.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. Up
The city's most destructive fire
in l8 years ravaged a large block
of business buildings and homes
last night and early today, caus-
ing damage firemen said would
exceed $l,O0O,O00.
A woman spectator-one OF
nearly $4,000 who crowded into
the thickly populated area at
Columbia and Ridge avenues
said she saw 'tecnage boy
plunge from a rooftop into the
flames when a wall collapsed,
but police reported no one was
missing.
A 3O-mile- hour north wind
sent flames hundreds of feet into
the air. Eight alarms were
sounded. Forty fire companies
and S pieces of apparatus joined
the fight.
Four buildings were destroyed
and 13 others were damaged be-
fore the swift-spreading flames
were brought under control.
Approximately 200 persons
most of them firemen-Were
treated for injuries at the scene.
Eleven persons were taken to
hospitals. Most seriously hurt
was a fireman who received a
broken back and crushed foot.
1T was the worst fire l have
ever experienced" said fire chief
William Cowden. Il don't see
how we ever stopped il"
Fifty families were left home
less and 1000 were driven from
their homes temporarily by
smoke and fear of the fire
