It is the patriotic and nutritional duty of the housewife to use every ounce of food in a can.
 Throwing the liquid of the can- ned product down the drain means loss of vitamins and flavor. Leaving a dozen peas clinging to the inside of the ccntainer does the same. These recipes will help you avoid waste.

FROM TWENTY TO SIXTEEN

FROM TWENTY TO SIXTEEN
 For six weeks now (writes Mrs. w. A. K.) have been following the diet given in the chapter How to Reduce on Four Square Meals a Day" in your booklet RULES FOR REDUCING, mine being the hypo- pituitary type of obesity. I have lost IS poundS-froYn 18i to 167 pounds-and am still losing steadily. I have lost my craving for carbohy- drates, feel better and do not get get nearly so tired. u has given me a new lease on life now that can actually wear size 16 dress instead of size 20.
 (Signed, Mrs. w. A. K.)
 After all, size or size 20 doesn't mean anything-just arbitrary num- bers the dress makers assign to various sizes. What one maker may cal size 16 another will call size 12 or size Hit is pretty confusing.
 Still, stout young women who, willy -nilly must be classified as of the hypopituitary type-the super fious flesh mostly in the lower half of body. except the fat pads on up- per arms-should notice particularly what the correspondent says about her carbohydrate craving. You know, the intense craving for sweets or for bread or potato or other items consisting principally of starch or sugar, that comes upon the poor girl when she is trying, oh, so earnestly, to keep on slim diet. This craving is characteristic of hypo- -pituitarism deficient function of pituitary gland) and accounts for the abnormally large carbohydrate tolerance of women with hypoituit- ary obesity and for their periodic carbohydrate gorges or sprees.
 When a woman subject to hypo- pltultarism tries to follow an ordin" aFy reducing diet her best intention is likely to waver and break after . short while and, almost like an inehrlate. she throws all caution to the winds and ravenously deyours great quantities of candy or what not. The instructions in the book lot, telling how to reduce on four square meals day, are expressly designed to prevent that.
 Another point in the correspond ent's letter should interest every one who is overweight and wants to reduce, no matter what type of obesity. She says she lost IS pounds in six weeks-2ls pounds a week, That k plenty for any one to lose in 6 week. on any reducing Tegi- men that h consistent with good sound physiology and hygiene. Two pounds CT lls ponnda e week as eyen better. An things censldeyea.

THE WOMEN---- WAR BABIES DO GET A BREAK, EVEN IF IT'S A TOUGH ONE

wartime baby is a welcome baby.
 And the baby df his mother hasn't had to take a job is pretty sure to get better care than the baby who came along before his mother learned, thanks to her war training, all about nutrition, home nursing, and first aid.
 WAR BABY GETS
 MORE ATTENTION
 And, even though she has added defense work to her home duties, the war baby's Mama is likely to spend more time with him than she would have done a few years ago. She can't turn his care over to a maid because she can't keep a maid !, And she doesn't spend all her aft ernoons away from home while a high school girl looks after him be- cause she can't run around in the car these days. And, besides hel bridge club is no longer meeting.
 So, even though grown-ups fee sorry for wartime babies thC babies have a few things their owr way, including lot of priorities.

 We regret to announce that 1t Is no longer possible to refer corre- spondentS to specialists of to physi- clans skilled in this or that field.

 Perfume is still plentiful i. still various as the moods and tempera- ments of woman.
 The few that used to be blended and bottled in France are getting scarcer. But many of the fabled French essences were put together and packaged in America for years before the war, and &hese houses still offer ali their prized fragrances. American manufacturers, too, are making their stand-byS and, once in a while, new Odor.
 Now, with great fanfare, comes new blended d-and- bottled d-in- America perfume from one of those French makers based here. It comes out in twenty-seven different new beauty aids all introduced at once, instead of in the houses customary way of first presenting the perfume and afterward the makeup with the same scent. And the matching scented makeup includes judi ciously streamlined range of colors. PERFUME IS
 MIRROR OF MOODS
 Selecting perfume is, of course, just about the most personal of all choosing for tn sake of your charm. Do it knowingly. Remember this: perfume can be used as magnifying mirror of your alertness to the mode of the moment: or it can be chosen to underline the mood of your romantic moments; or 1t can be chosen as your own one fragrance for every occasion when
 You're a one-fragrance womanP Then, be sure that one is yours. Be- fire renewing your supply this fall, you might check by whiting a great many, both new ones and stand-bys.
 For instance, those whose French originated makers name is an American household word. In their exquite leather-caSed Lalique bottles, these perfumes are new cole lectors' items. And the same per- fumes are available in less expen- sive, new, beautiful, ingenious con- tai1erS for instance, in metal perfume -vinaigrette with locked top, for your purse.
 EARLY AMERICAN
 PERFUMES FEATUNRED
 The American house which has made people spice.conscious in re- cent years is emphasizing, this fall, its early American Spice-fragrance, its old-fashioned garden distillation, and its sophisticated desert flower. Another house suggests it's three well-defined fashion fragranceS, one for tweeds, one to go with furs and other dressy fixings, one for the exotic moment.
 Whatever the basis for your choice of perfume, you will use it most effectively if you use 1t sen- sibly. It doesn't take connoisseur to see that exotic odor goes better with black satin than with slackS or cotton frock.
 For instance, how much do you use and where do you put 1t? ! would never rub the liquid into my furs or my clothes -. they tend to take up and echo quite enough of the scent which is rubbed into the skin, and besides, good perfumes are most effective when mingled with the oils of your own skin.

Girls Toll in Union Station Cuqe
For First Time Since Last War
One Feels Fresh After 500 Ticket Sale;
Window Force Increased ESQ Per Cent

Women are selling railroad tickets
at Union Station for the first time
since the World War.
Maybe you don't think so, but this
takes about as much of a woman s
courage and stamina as serving as
nurse on a fighting front.
When a reporter interrupted her
flow of customers yesterday, Miss
Nancy Clegg had just sold 1900
tickets In three and a half hours.
She appeared fresh as daisy.
Every One "In . Hurry"
Every one of her customers had
been in special hurry" Business
men were anxious to get out Of town
and back to their plants. Ladies
had allowed insufficient time to
catch trains. Soldiers were in a
rush.
So many tickets are demanded
that the ticket-selling force has
been increased by $50 per cent. Last
year it was 20; now it is 10.
Charles w. Owings, chief ticket
agent, has gone all over the coun-
try to expand his staff and replace
selectees. He brought lot of ticket
sellers here from Chicago.
Mr.. Owings, who Is a veteran of
millions of ticket sales dating back
to 1910, pointed to Miss Clegg and
paid her tribute.

Hot Spot for Ticket Sales.
Union Station is 4 hot spot for
ticket sellers, because five railroads
and the Pullman Co. are served
and the customers are going every
where In the Nation. A complete
schedule of rail rates piles up to a
mans waist.
Miss Clegg and three other young
women, Mrs. Gladys McCutcheon,
Miss Lorraine Peters and Miss Eliz-
abeth Lind, volunteered for their
new jobs for the duration" They
began work Friday, in two shifts
but only after months of training
upstairs in the information and res
ervation section. Mr.. Owings ex-
poets to put lot more women to
work. Some Of them upstairs,
where business is conducted by
phone, knew they couldn't stand
the pace. and didn't volunteer for
window work.
Miss Clegg loves it.
Sooner or later" she says, every
body Of importance comes to my
window"
Whether she'll have time to look
at them is another question.
