 If YOU want to help tre var ef- fort as well as your ex-..;.....-., :. II might enjoy shampooing your Aalr with a perfectly good shampoo made out of the slivers and wafers Of used bars of toilet soap.
 There is plenty of shampoo on the market now, and there will be so long as the ladies cooperate with Uncle Sam by conserving fats and gfeases, So l don't mean to indicate that homemade sham poo is a patriotic must" How ever, in this atmosphere. why throw away those left overs which are such nuisance to use as soap-and which make sham poo in a jiffy?
 You simply shave them fine, add water, and put them in saucepan, and boil till they dis solve. There is one not-so-con- venient fact about this. The stuff will jell again, in time, so you have to make 1t just before using it.
 For this purpose - and for choosing regular shampoo and toilet soap correctly-you should know what kind of ingredients suit your skin and hair best. For normal skin or scalp, castillo soap and shampoo are excellent. The important thing is, gentle stuff. For oily scalp and skin, the prep arations containing coconut oil or some other slightly drying in- gredient. For dry complexion and scalp, you want stuff containing olive oil, castor oil, or some equally fatty substitute.
 KNOW WHAT
 YOU'RE USING
 Look at the label of your soaps and shampoos and, if they do not tell you what's in them, ask the seller; and shop around till you find stuff that you can identify. Another thing to watch out for is alcohol. It has drying effect. More than 40 per cent alcohol is no help to any type of scalp.
 Of couTse, if you can afford good, widely distributed products of well-known makers, do use those. They are checked by Uncle Sam and generally their labels or their sellers tell you what's in them.

 @. When making slip covers to cooperate with the wartime policy of conserving cloth, how can the bottom be finished to avoid that terribly plain and unfinished look?

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
 Cheese and Milk

Group of dairy workers making bets on the answer to this and leaving it up to you. Which has more nour- ishment or food value in it, milk o1 cheese? Also what proportion of milk is water. GA. J.)
 Answer-Cottage cheese has food value of about 500 calories pea pound; Swiss cheese, 2,000 calorieA per pound; American cheese, 2,00O, 2,000 calories per pound; milk, 320 calories per pound. Cottage cheese is over two-thirds water American and Swiss or Swiss type cheesai slightly less than one-third waters milk is nearly nine- tenth water (87 per cent). For my commission may have dipper of Grade A raW milk from tuberculin tested cows; before 1t cools?
 No Salt
 Have not used any table salt foH several months. In consequence haveE lost my appetite. Only eat now toi live. Can you suggest any harmless substitute for salt? CD. A. M)
 Answer-Every one needs reas~ onable amount of salt daily-at least fifteen or twenty grains. know of no substitute for salt. Particularly in hot weather or when sweating freely from work or play in the heat or sun, one should consume plenty of salt to replace the in- creased excretion in the sweat. A good pinch of salt with every drink of water, is more refreshing, better prevention against sun-stroke or heat exhaustion or heat cramps, than plain water or other unsalted beverage.

 If you have here's the answer-a dress which doesn't look though 1t sprang from necessity at all :. but rather designed this way for ap pearance's sake only Tn fact, the best couturers would agree that the uninterrupted neckline, the bracelelength sleeves and the piecng of the skirt at the dropped wastline all used with masterful effect and that the two-color fabric combination gives this dress high drama.

Ipany now is producing on a "a
Ihour-a-day basis a portion of one
of the many implements of war

approximately half the busy
production force of this Rochester,

In ever-increasing numbers In

sre-engaged in proving that
Iwomen's task on the home front is
no less significant than that Of
the men on the fighting front.
They are blondes, brunets and
red heads. They are tall and short.
They are single and married. They
are machine operators and inspect
ors. They are former stenograph-
ers and shop girls. They are col
llege graduates and housewives.
But all are entered in the MISS

The McAleer organization has
grown within Is months from a
small unit employing 80 to 40
workers to huge organization OF
hundreds of production men and
women.
OFFICIAL EXPLAINS
AS explained by a company
official;
"This tremendous new under
taking, with its increasing prob
lens, meant the hiring of a
large, new force of people of
which practically half had to be
women.
''The response from the nearby
countryside and towns was in
deed gratifying. The quality OF
their work, their extreme pa
triotism, their larger than usual
investment In war bonds and the
quantity of their production far
exceeded all demands.
''The women especially are to
be congratulated on their good
spOrtsmanshlp, their contribu-
tons to various agencies OF de-
tense, their ability to work when
their husbands are at war or
their children at home, and
their whole-hearted support of
the war program"
