No Typhoid Deaths
In State Last Year
Delaware Believed First State To
Achieve Such Distinction

Delaware, 1 believe, has the
distinction of being the first state
that has ever passed through a
full calendar year without a death
from typhoid fever" says Richard
c. Beckett, state sanitary engineer,
in~an article in the. State Board of
Health issue of the Delaware State
Medical Journal.
Last year Delaware did not have
a single death from typhoid and
only IL cases of the disease. Sussex
county had five cases. Ten years
ago there were IL deaths from ty-
phoid fever in Delaware and 81
cases of the disease, of which "a
cases occurred in Sussex county.

WOMAN,S REALM
Clarifying
Yourself
~ Alicia Hart

When you do your spring shop
ping - don't forget your face.
Your new bonnet may be be-
coming, you may be well-pleased
with the results of the time spent
shopping for the hat. You-lay be
delighted with your crisp new suit
and blouse and shoes. Say you're
delighted with your wardrobe
readiness for the spring parade.
Now what about your face?
Are you going to ignore the few
fine lines and wrinkles which a
little extra sleep every night for
week would erase effectively?
Are you going to wear the same
powder, lipstick and rouge you
wore all winter?
Before you decide that you
don't need and don't like founda-
ton preparations, try couple. If
your skin is oily, greasless lotion
may be just what you need to re-
move the shine permanently from
your nose and to make powder stay
on for hours.
If your skin Is dry, one of the fine
IOundatlOn creams or films may give
you dewy, fresh look. Matter of
fact, these times of careful use of
cosmetics are times for an adequate
variety Of them on your dressing
table-that's the way to make them
work most efficiently.
It's a mistake to decide to buy a
foundation and powder to match
your skin tone exactly-unless those
tones are rosy and lovely. Otherwise,
let your cosmetics do something for
them.
A woman with a salloWish skin
tone shouldn't buy powder of yell
low, dull shade She needs pinkish
tints. And the girl whose face is too
pink obviously neeos yellowish-
beige powder and foundation.

Homemakers today have double
duty. They must put themselves
in the very best physical condition,
and their families, too. The first
step Is to select the right foods to
go into a good daily meal plan.
We do not anticipate any serious
food shortages, yet we must not
waste food No more discarding
of outside leaves of lettuce, of left
overs, of all things that find their
way into American refuse pals
We must remember, too, that
over-refining foods robs them of
valuable minerals and vitamins
For instance, refined white sugar
has no minerals or vitamins, yet
unrefined, sweet, dark New Or
leans molasses is rich source of
iron second only to beef liver. IN
refined wholeWheat flour is a rich
source of minerals and vitamin b.
but white flour, unless fortified
with vitamins and minerals, con-
tains small amounts of them. Dark
farina and rice are two to five
times richer in minerals and five
to ten times richer in Vitamin B
than white varieties.
These are iron-rich foods: whole
grain cereals and flours, liver and
lean beef and mutton, molasseS
dried fruits, eggs and green vege-
tables.
Calcium and PHOSPHORUS are
two other minerals absolutely es-
sential to health. Mix, inexpen-
sive, versatile and easily obtained,
Is the very best calcium source
Every adult should have a pint of
day, every child a quart. If milk
is unpopular in your family use
1t in puddings, soups and sauces.
Most TO the mineral-rich foods
mentioned above are rich in one
or more vitamins, too. In addi-
ton, butter, cream, fruits and fruit
juices, tomato juice generously
used, and some meat or fish daily
will round out each body's needs

sunshine or fish liver oil, is added

Of Interest To Women

@. How early should I start to
prune my eVergreens?
A. They are seldom pruned after
they have been set in permanent To-
cations, except hedges Or plants in
formal designs. Dead or broken limbs
should be promptly removed. Some
kinds are given a more compact
form and smoother outline by fire.
quent pruning but with many the
natural form is more appropriate for
most locations. The appearance OF
some eVergreens is improved by cut
ting off part of the foliage each
spring just before growth starts. If
the tips of the branches are likewise
cut at this time the trees will branch
more freely and make the foliage
more compact. Coniferous and broad
leaf evergreens should not be prun-
ed in winter because the evidences
of pruning will make them appear
unsightly. Midsummer (early Aug
ust' is also a good time for prun-
ing.
@. Is the government still call
ing for women to take courses to re-
lieve the shortage of professional
nurses for the Army and Navy? To
whom must one apply for these
courses?
A. Paul McNutt, Director of De-
Tense Health and Welfare Services,
has said that critical need exists
for thousands of professional nurses
and urged young women to take ad-
vantage of the training courses now
being financed by the federal gov
eminent. Those interested should
contact their State or district nurses
associations or the superintendent
of nurses at any hospital.

@. In the sanitarium where I
spent about a month recuperating
from a severe illness. nuts we're
served in some form every day and
at almost every meal. Do they have
very high food value?
A. Nuts are very concentrated
food and most varieties are extreme
ly rich in fat. The starchy chestnut
is the one exception. The pecan con-
tains over 10 per cent of fat; the
Brazil nut, butternut, filbert, hickory
nut, and English walnut, over so per
cent. The eastern black walnut
almond, beechnut, and pistache
have over so per cent; and the ca
shew, pine nut, and peanut have
over 40 per cent. Fresh coconut con-
tains about 35 per cent fat In the
diet, it is better to consider nuts
as a source of fat and to use them
INTERCHANGEABLE with other fatty
foods, such as butter, oils, cream,
chocolate, and bacon. Most nuts are
rich sources of phosphorus and some
are good sources of iron. The peanut
pecan, chestnut, almond, English
walnut, filbert and Brazil nut are
good sources of vitamin B.
c. My little girl accidentally
spilled whole bottle of perfume on
one of my best dresses. Is there any
thing that will remove the stain?
A. On white materials the spots
can be removed 49, sponging with
peroxide Of hydrogen; on colored
fabrics, if the color has been re-
moved by the alcohol in the per-
fume, nothing can be done.
