From a Woman's Angle
Homemaker Is an Important Cog
In the Machinery of War
BY Betsy CnszOeH
Women's News Editor

Just because you can't be WAAC
or a. WAVE or ferry planes. don't
feel you can't be part OF the war
effort!
Every woman can do her share
In this war. and the homemakers
are very important in keeping things
rolling. 1t may be service without
glory" If you count glory as a uni
form and drills and saluting people
but there's real glory just the
same. the greater for being unsung
and unpublicized.
In your own quiet way, Mrs.
Washington Housewife, you can
help us win this war. You can. for
instance. see that the household
spending is regulated so that money
is saved to take care Of the mount
ing taxes and living costs. That's
right up your alley-for haven't YOU
always been keeper OF the budget?
And what about all those cam
paigns? It's you again that bears
the brunt OF digging out all the
articles needed for the scrap drives,
YOU who strains the fats into the
can and totes 1t to the grocer, you
who watches the heat in the house
like a hawk and contrives to make
the most of every bit of it. You,
too. are the one who co-operates
with the food rationing, with the
Victory Food Special campaigns,
carefully marketing for items that
you carry home yourself.
And that Is only the beginning!

Women Warned
To Prevent
Fatigue
Must Take Periods
OF Relaxation to
Guard Health
Bv Patricia Lindsay

In our earnestness to do our bit
and show our patriotism it is essen
tial to use common sense and not
permit ourselves to get too tired.
Stop before you get to the cracking
point or you will have to give up
everything for a long period of recu-
peration.
Not only is it destructive to good.
health to get too tired to sleep when
you get to bed, but it Is unfair to
those you live with. Jangling nerves
are not pleasant to deal with, nor is
irritability, vagueness of memory,
dull beauty, indifference of attitude
which all are caused by fatigue.
To preserve health and beauty a
woman must learn how much her
energy can accomplish and to stop
before her limit. She must also
school herself to take periods of re-
taxation and to relax quickly when
she takes time off from what she is
doing. This can be done-it takes
self discipline and rehearsing.
During brief pauses simple re-
laxing exercises renew energy and
invite poise of spirit and body to
return. Here are two which you
might test the next time you feel
you have reached your limit but
must carry on for little while
longer:
While sitting, close your eyes, drop
your head forward Imply as. far as
it will go. With both hands firmly
grasp the f1eshy spots at the base
of your neck in back. Deeply mas
sage this area and then run your
fingers up your neck to back of ears.
Pressure of fingers should be hard
! to relieve the strain of muscles and
nerves which center there Finish
exercises by slowly raising head and
letting it fall backward as far as pos
sible. Relax moment. Repeat once
| more.
Stand in a room we'll aired-it
possible. Feet should be about 18
inches apart. Slowly raise arms
overhead and at the same time for
chilly pull in your abdomen. Then
(holding your abdomen in) slowly
bend the upper part of the body
forward and down allowing your
arms and head to hang Imply. Do
not strain to touch the floor but
bend over as far as you can with
ease. Then very slowly raise upper
part of body feeling each vertebra
fitting into the one below it, until
you stand erectly. Finish by forcing
shoulders back and down, bringing
head to lovely balance on tip OF
spine. This is tops for relaxing body
and mind. But do not do it more
than three times.
After these two exercises you will
find yourself fit for another stretch
of workout 90 at the work a BIT
leisurely-not in a rush.

You're going to do far more, still
in your quiet way, to help the war
to be won. You will look around
the workers in your community, and
see in what way you can aid them
In doing their jobs efficiently and
steadily. Perhaps you can give a
weary war worker an evening of
relaxation by watching the baby
while he and his wife 60 of to the

for a school child or two in the
hours between his return from
school and the time his clock

| |Why yGrow

By Josephine Lowman

1t takes a war to bring lis up to
date with simple. cosmetic pro-
cedure. We now can purchase a
ip-rouge stick with the full ap-
proval Of one of our best known cos
meticians.
1t always has been great tempta-
ton to the average, harried female
TO take bit of her lipstick and dab
it on her cheeks for color. However,
in the past, beauty experts have
shaken their heads in discouraging
and humiliating condemnation Of
such a mundane and unglamorous
procedure.
This has always seemed bit ex-
treme to me, but the few times I
have indulged in this activity I
must admit that I have felt un-
speakably shoddy and out Of date.
with the breath of the experts hot
on my neck!
OF course, there has been some
basis for past differentiation because
of variance in the consistency Of
lipsticks and rouge. However, this
has been overcome and there are
great advantages in the newer plan.
In using the lip-rouge stick you can
be certain that you have the same
! color on both cheeks and lips. Then
too, in these days when 1t is patri-
otic and economical to conserve on
our cosmetics this vogue Is of par
ticular interest.
Our skin tone is correlated with
the color of our hair and np-rouge
sticks can be selected by your own
tipping of your self as blond, brunei,
chestnut, redhead or silver haired.
Here's another thing to remember
about your lipstick. When it is so
low in it's container that you can
no longer use it you can take the
remaining rouge out, put it in
jar and paint it on your lips with
small brush designed especially for
this. Painting the lips on with .
| brush is the best method anyway.

Popovers Prove
Favorite With
Everyone
y Definite Standards
OF Perfection Are
Listed for Them
By Edith NJ. Barber

Tastes differ in regard to prefer
ences toward various hot breads, but
1 have never met any one who did
not put popovers at the top or near
the top of the list.
Popovers even more than biscuits
and mullins, must be so hot that
they burn your fingers when you
break them open. They must be
baked long enough to have a deep
brown crust, thick enough to pre-
vent falling when they are removed
from the pans. The inside. however,
should not be too dry, as in this
case the flavor is lost.
Those are the standards for pop
overs. The question is how to meet
them. First of all follow the recipe
and sift your flour before measur-
ing. After the batter Is mixed test
it to make sure that 1t is about the
consistency Of heavy cream. Not
all eggs are of the same size and
when small your batter may be
slightly too thick. In this case add
little more milk.
Heavy iron or glass or pottery
muffin pans are best for popovers.
They should be heated before they
are thoroughly creased. The full
time for baking given in the recipe
should be allowed and it will not
hurt the popovers to stand in the
closed oven for 5 or 10 minutes after
the fire has been turned out. There
is no better menu for a Sunday
breakfast or supper or for a lunch
con any day than kidney stew with
popovers.
KIDNEY STEW.
2 beef, 6 veal or 8 lamb kidneys.
| 4 cup butter.
tablespoon minced onion.
3 tablespoons -four.
"a teaspoon pepper.
u teaspoon salt.
2cups water or stock. s
2 tablespoons sherry.
Have kidneys split. Remove men,
brane and tubes. Slice kidneys and
soak in salted water to cover, 30
minutes. Drain. Melt butter, add
onion and kidneys, and cook over
medium heat 2 minutes. Stir in
-four and seasonings and when well
blended add water or stock, stirring
constantly until mixture thickens
and boils. Cover and let simmer
over very low heat 10 to IS minutes
until kidneys are tender. Add sherry
and more salt If necessary. Serve on
toast or with mashed potatoes,
boiled rice or buttered noodles.
Yield, six servings.
POPOVERS.
2 eggs.
l cup milk.
l cup sifted flour.
I. teaspoon salt.
Break eggs into bowl. add milk
and beat with rotary beater until
well blended. Add sifted flour and
salt all at one time and continue
beating until mixture is smooth
and is as thick as heavy cream.
Bake in hot, creased iron muffin
pans or glass or earthenware GUS
tard cups in hot oven (450 degrees
F. 30 minutes. Then reduce heat to
moderate (350 degrees F. and con-
tinue baking 10 or Is minutes, ac-
cording to size. Serve as soon as
possible. Make slit in each pop
over to allow steam to escape. Yield,
