and mothers of America that
when their sons go to battle in
this war they will be the best
equipped soldiers that ever
went to battle in any age.
Sam Rayburn. speaker Of the

We had a wrong idea Of total

actly. It's total effort.
Jonathan Daniels. assistant di-
rector of the OCD.
Nothing short Of utter defeat
Of the enemy will be sufficient.
Great calls will be made on your
strength. but l know you viii
meet them as before with utter
disregard in the common cause
of achieving victory.
Gen. Neil Mcthucn Richie,
commander Eighth British Ar

There is nothing 10 be gained,

the promotion Of national dis
content and confusion.

We at home are a vital part of

--WE, THE WOMEN The Wedding Anniversary
 Plan Was Fine, and Then .
which comes in many colors.
WE. THE WOMEN

both are in companionable mood is marred by the wife's suddenly deciding that the electric ice box needs oiling. It's no more than a ten-minute job (including hunting for the oil can), but it's enough to spoil the husbands lazy evening before-the-fire mood.
 Then there's the party evening when the wife, wearing new dress and sporting a new hair-do that makes her feel downright giddy, is brought down to earth by her hus- bands tactless: 'Is that what you're going to wear?"
 But most of the occasions that aren't as much fun as they could have been are ruined by sudden loss of temper or by either the hus- band or wife's giving in to an ir- ritable mood. Probably the reason why so many couples have more perfect" times to remember before they were mar ried, is that both really tried to make their times together flaWlesS during courtship.
 If plans went wrong 1t was some thing to laugh or wisecrack about instead of something to get upset over.
 But after they had been married a little while, htey stopped trying to make occasions perfect for each other, and started grumbling when ever things weren't perfect for themselves.

physical education is chiefly ac- countable for this common postural weakness. But there is no question that correction of the nutritional deficiency and reasonable attention to physhical training in childhood and youth will combat the tendency and make for development of good posture in the majority of cases.
 Belly Breathing
 am teaching medical gymnastics and some physical education classes. Much interested in your "belly breathing" May ask wlly use ab- dominal muscles fer breathing? Their function is primarily to sup port the abdominal viscera. The diaphragm and the intercostals are the breathing muscles.

POSTURE IS WORTH ANYBODY's
 WHILE.

WHILE.
 In preceding talk about pos ture we told what to do with your head and chin. Now let us see what to do about chest and belly.
 First thing the individual whose physical education has been neg lected thinks of when good posture is mentioned is his chest. If he can push out his chest he imagines he is assuming good posture. Aside from that, he dismisses considera- tion of or advice about posture as lot of malarkye. There are mil lions of people just like him who still imagine chest measurement or chest expansion is guage of phy- sical strength, endurance, efh- ciency, longevity or vite. Thanks to the thorough, systematic neglect of education below the neck in our common school system.
 In cultiyating good posture habit the best plan is to forget about your chest. If you know what to do about your head (try to touch an imaginary high ceiling with the crown, or carry an imaginary bas- ket of food balanced on your head) and your chin (keep it tucked in- side an imaginary high collar) your chest will take care of itself.
 What to do about the belly is a different matter. In the first place be sure to fix clearly ill mind that the belly is not the abdomen Ca cav- ity containing digestive organs) nor the stomach Gone of the digestive organs in the abdomen) nor the diaphragm (breathing muscle which divides the trunk into the upper body cavity or thorax and the lower body cavity or abdomen. The belly is the front wall of the abdomen.
 The profile of the belly in a nor nal person with good posture is convex-an even convexity of line from neck down to symphisis (front of pelvic bone). In person with poor posture this outline is fiat or straight or even concave.
 Some Tod time physical trainers assumed that a flat belly was the ideal of good posture, and that er- TOT crept into modern art as the ideal of beauty. It probably grew out of the freak wasp-waist concep- ton of beauty which prevailed in an earlier age.
 Venus of Milo has a convex belly.
 Any one in good physical condi- ton can, of course, retract or draw in his belly and hold it so for con- siderable time, but this is more or less at the expense of efficient breathing, for it is impossible to draw a full breath without expand ing the belly, infating it, so to speak, as though the belly were the wall of bellows.
 Weak, fiabby, physically unedu- cated persons with poor vitality generally have more or less ptosis, which means dropping or sagging of organs or other structures in the abdomen and in the pelvis, together with more or less lordosis, which means exaggeration of the normal hollow or forward curve of the spine at the waistline. It is debat- able whether faulty nutrition in childhood and youth or neglect of

 If you are one of the many dry- skinned women who have not been able to use cologne because its al- cohol base simply dried out your skin worse than ever, you'll be glad to know that there's a new product that seems to solve your problem.
 It's 8 cologne, which is also an emOllient. ''Emollient, in case you don't know, is a Softening or sooth- thing agent.
 Just when priorities hit alcohol up came the dry-skin-c cologne idea.
 It is a creamy white liquid, with 8 lanolin base. The trick was to find a process to prevent. such a liquid from being oily on the skin, and to make it hold the scent. Well, it's found.
 You rub this liquid, and hence the scent, into the skin-s something you used to achieve, if you were wise and economical. And then you had to stay indoors a while after putting perfume on to give it time to seep into the skin in warm air.
 No waitnig now, and no drying your skin. And the scent lasts. It comes in three famed fragrances.
 You will remember, perfume was one of the first beauty agents whacked by the war-inasmuch as most of the ingredients were i'm ported. PessimiSts said cologne would go, too, because it's chiefly alcohol, which, of course, is an im- portant munitions essential.
 YEARS RESEARCH BRINGS SUCCESS
 However, short on alcohol and on perfume, one great French house. now based in America, decided it would and could do something to make both go further, and some thing that would be not ersatz but an Improvement.
 For a year before, the firm had been trying by research to find something to make cologne ac- ceptable to dry-skinned women who always complained that the 1 alcohol based fragrance hurt the1r complexion.
 The new cream cologne is the result. The house believes it's here for the duration-anyway 1t con- tains no ingredient now in prior itieS jeopardy.

 A. We do not know of any poison that kills rats and renders the car casses odorless. Some of the slower acting poisons, such as barium car bonate, arsenic, and red squill, will tend to make the rats seek their burrows where they will eventually die, if the dose is lethal.
