 Until I got arthritis in my feet, and could no longer build lookout towers to protect our fire forests. There was no evident reason for the arthritis, unless it was some deficiency in nutrition. Fifty miles from a store and Sel- dom any green vegetables, I was a ravenous roughneck who tn win ter was said to hibernate in hollow log with a bear. Then I became unable to walk. Panther meat did not seem to supply the ribofiavin or whatever I needed. The best doctors in Uncle Sam's service examined and re-examined me, failed to find any explanation for my trouble.

 Who knows whether the regimen the correspondent describes had a thing to do with the recovery from arthritis? don't, for one.
 The point is that the regimen he describes as certainly did him on harm, could do nobody harm, and it is within the bounds of reason that some such reform in living habits may so improve metabolism and nutrition in many instances as to favor recovery from an i'll called rheumatism or arthritis.
 The woodsmans dietary reform probably contributed much toward his recovery. Those garden vegeta- bles he mentions are all rich in

control over a girl when classes are over. The problem is really the problem of parents.
 If they don't accept it they are going to find that daughters as well as sons can become war casualties.
 Parents of 16, 16, and l7-year- old girls should have a flat rule that they can't date any one, ex- cept hometown boys they have known for years. Not that a young man isn't a safe date for girl just because he happens to be wear ing a uniform. But servicemen are too old for young girls. And neither the girl nor the parents have any way of knowing much about a soldier or sailor who is only a transient in the town.
 YOUNG FRIENDS BEST
 To take the place of dates with strange servicemen, parents should see that their daughters have live ly social life with kids their own age. They should do everything possible to see that daughter has an attractive home to which she can bring her friends.
 They should try to keep the fam fly as a whole close and happy unit. And they should encourage daughter in doing some kind of war work, so that she can feel she has a part in the adult job of winning the war.
 Parents who assume complete re- sponsibility for the behavior of their teen age daughters instead of throwing up their hands and say- ing What can parents do?" aren't likely to have daughter falling for the Victory Girl'' philosophy.

 Few women can match the good professional manicurist, but most women can and should learn to do worthwhile job for themselves. lt will save your time and your nails to do them at home when you cafl- not get to the beauty shop ct least once a week.
 The first well-known rule of good manicuring Is: don't cut or file cor ners. This one was honored most often when narrow talon-tips were fashionahle--as they are not nova" days.
 Round or taper the nail to follow the natural outline of your finger tip. A good guide for determining this outline is to hold your hand up to the light, palm in. You should be able just barely to see the edge of the nail which is the right shape and length.
 Use flexible file or emery board, never stiff steel implements. Best bet for cuticle control is the fa- miliar orange wood stick. Soak the nails, use the stick after soaking, and soak after filing.
 Don't cut the cuticle. -. If you have been, and consequently have hangnails, you might snip those. But only when they are jagged, and even then you should not cut into the cuticle or corner of the finger tip or nail.
 Rather, massage with cuticle oil and gently push back the cuticle with the flat end of the orange stick.
 When you use liquid polish, use two coats and a sealer over the last one.
