Energy Foods Have
Important Place
In Proper Diet

Galleries are still Just as impor-
tant as they ever were. This term is
merely a name for the actual energy
value of food. While we are hearing
a great deal about protein, minerals
and vitamins and are told rightly
that foods which contain these in
generous amounts should be con-
sidered first of all, we need about
half OF the calories which we use
each day in addition to those which
are supplied by such foods as meat,
milk, fruit, eggs and vegetables.
OF course. every food that we eat
gives us calories. If we ate enough
Of the foods mentioned above we
could get our quota for the day.
This would be an expensive PROPOSE
ton, however, as such foods as
breads, cereals, fats and sugar sup
ply us inexpensively with the re-
mainder of our daily Galleries.
Whether we eat cereals in the form
OF bread or breakfast food or pastes,
fat in the form of butter or other
shortening or oil, sugar in the form
of candy or as a Sweetening for
cereals and desserts, we will get the
same calorie value.
Some of these so-called energy
foods" supply us with certain
amount of protein, minerals and
vitamins. Whole wheat or enriched
bread or cereals are examples of
these. From butter or reinforced
margarin we get valuable vitamin A.
A well-rounded diet contains every
food in proportion to our needs
The latter depend upon height,
weight and activities.

Summer Beauty
Aids Will Add
To Comfort
Suggested Items
Make the Heat
Endurable'
By Patricia Lindsay

A new kink in beauty lore Is a pro-
tective hand cream-not one to ap-
ply after washing your hands. but to
apply before beginning to work. 1t
spreads non-sticky, non-staining,
invisible film over the skin and one
application is supposed to protect
your hands from CRIME and stains
for three hours-providing, Of
course. you do not wash them during
that period. 1t is removed by wash
ing with soap and water. Recon-
mended for defense workers, gar
deners, housewives and for repair
jobs which entail q lot of CRIME or
grease.
Ladies who perspire freely, and
also for those interested in keeping
bath-sweet all day, will be interested
in an underarm deodorant cream
which gives long service. 1t may be
used on the feet and across the
shoulder blades If those areas trou-
Bile you on humid days. Application
twice a week Is quite SUFFICIENT to
do a neat job. we are informed.
I may have told you about this
magic hadr cleanser before but 1t will
bear second mentioning for In
10 or Is minutes, hairsthat is dirty
oily, sticky with lake or sea water
may be thoroughly cleansed leaving
ones wave intact. It Is sprinkled
onto terry cloth mitten and then
applied to strand of hair at q time
When the whole head is covered
with the powder, clean mitten re-
moves 1t quickly. Thus you have 4
dry shampoo which strips the hair
of soil and leaves 1t glossy and
ready to dress.
Girls discover, who 60 out without
stockings, that tale must be used
generously on the feet before shoes
are worn. Otherwise the feet burn
from contact with the inner sole.
So keep handy q shaker of delight
full tale Of old-space fragrance
and If you buy some now you will
be the happy recipient OF . cunning
Victory fan which will keep you cool
during sultry days.

back of a man on the dance floor.
know it wasn't the highest blow
he'd ever had. I Immediately beg
ged his pardon; whereupon my own
friend called me down for apollo
giving to strange man on the
dance floor. He said II any one
should have apologized he should
have, since he had pushed me into
the man, but at all events 1t was not
ladylike for me to have done it.
This seems strange reasoning to
me, but just the same I'd like to
find out If he could be right about
this
Answer: 1t is never wrong to say

Why Grow Old
Question Box
BY Josephine Lowman

l. win you please include In your
column some exercises for reducing
the lower hips in bAck?"
Answer: Here we go againl Sit
on the floor with the legs stiff,
stretched out in front Of you. Lean
back until you reach the point
where the weight Of the body falls
over the latest part Of the hips.
Rock from side to side, catching
yourself with your hand On each
side.
2. us there any way 70 reduce lat
over the ribs?"
Answer: All the stretching axar-
cises are good. Front bend u a.
good as any II YOU viii take time 70
lift the ribs upward and stretch MP
on the upward lift. Also good IA the
pendulum swing. Lie on your back
on the floor, arms at sides, shoulder
height. swinging both legs like the
pendulum of a clock.
3. What causes dark circles un-
der the eyes and Is there any way
to prevent them?"
Answer: Many things cause them.
Poor health, organic disease, lack
Of sleep. malnourishment, heredity.
too little outdoor life and fatigue.
Do the opposite Of those things. A
physical examination. long outdoor
walks and sun baths, correct diet
and more sleep will help. Also you
can camouflage them with makeup.
4. rs there any way I can put
my lipstick on to make my teeth
look larger? My lips are shaped
nicely but my teeth are small"
Answer: First, don't be afraid to
smile. That's more important even
than having teeth. Also, I suggest
that you keep them sparklingly
white, and put lipstick on as thinN
as you can without spelling the
shape OF your lips. Put the lin
rouge on toward the top Of the lip
line and blend down softly toward
the opening of the mouth.
S. Would you kindly inform me
what can do to get rid OF hair
which I have on my upper lip?"
Answer: Use cosmetic wax or
bleach with peroxide There is no
practical, permanent way II there

Also the screen will mask the wall
of the stair we'll and obviate the I'M
comfortable feeling that most peo-
pie have in a room with an opening
in the wall above their heads.
Dear Miss Novel;: We are living
in an old town house which we pur-
chased a year ago. The house is
nice inside but the front door opens
right onto the street and II 1t Is
raining when guests arrive there is
no shelter until the door Is opened.
We would like to provide some sort
Of canopy over the door, but as the
house is built up to the taking
line" this presents quite a problem.
I only wish that some of the space In
the hall could be utilized as 1t Is
practically unused.-R. D.
Answer should think the space
in the hall could be utilized quite
well. Instead of building on por-
tico outside, build a foyer inside the
front door. For this you should
build a wall the width of your hall,
about four feet back from the pres
ent front wall of the house. I
would suggest that you use your
present front door as the inside door
and place center opening doors or
shutter doors on each side of the
opening onto the street. With
clever, gracious lighting inside the
foyer, and a tile or linoleum floor to
repel the weather, the entrance to
your home would be most inviting.
Dear Miss Novel;: We have had
our oil furnace made over for coal.
but like most homes made for oil
heat, there is no way to get coal
into the basement. There is no
driveway from the street for the coal
truck to come close to the house,
and, worst of all, hate to spoil my
lovely, clean basement and the chill
dren's play room with coal dust.
Can you suggest any way to make
this arrangement as painless as po-
sihle SO that We can preserve what
we have and make the whole adj
justment eficient?-H. B. S.
Answer-you are bound to have to
make some new plans and construc-
ton to do this conveniently. Not
only do you have to get coal into the
basement but there is the item of
getting the ashes out as well. A
coal shelter, built on the outside Of
the house for the duration, would
be the simplest and cleanest ar
rangement. In this you could have
your. whole winter supply placed.
The construction of a chute from the
coal room to the basement with
hopper at the lower end would make
the least amount of dust. I would
suggest the construction of 4 tight
wall around the furnace area. With
a dustproof door into the playroom
section to keep fine ash from sitting
through into the main basement,
you will be able to keep that part
reasonably clean. I presume you
have an opening to the outdoors
from the basement, either from the
laundry or the garage area, which
will have to be utilized for ash re-
moval. AS this can be carried in
covered containers. there is no
reason why 1t should hurt the play
room floors II it is handled with
care.

stocking seams. They can tell him
that it's much cooler to wear paint"
instead of stockings And they can
argue, too, that their legs don't look
like "the iodine ram when they
once learn to apply the stuff
properly.
There are so many theories ad-
vanced about the proper way to
use bottled stockings" that we are
on the verge of complex. How
ever. as a leg makeup user of some
two solid months standing, and as
a person who has also had some
pretty disastrous results, here's
what we've found. First. the legs
must be entirely smooth and free of
all fuzz. Take your choice as to
the method of hair removal-depil-
atories in jars and tubes, wonder
stones" that erase" the hair, or
fathers razor, it matters little.
What does matter is that you keep
after the fuzziness faithfully, even
If your legs need a quick once-over
every few days. Then, keep your
feet and legs in good condition.
Soak your feet and ankles in warm
water, massage them with a Sooth-
ing new foot balm and exercise
your tootsies by wiggling and
stretching them. This will not help
your leg makeup, but it'll make
you feel happier and better able to
cope with the situation.
When you are ready to apply the
leg makeup be sure that your legs
are thoroughly dry. Find yourself
''wide-open space" where a few
splattered drops of the coloring
won't matter, and then begin. Pour
little of the liquid into your
cupped hand, start at. the feet and
work up the legs. Use both hands
so that you can get an even coat
front and back. Do both legs with
one coat and then go back and give
them a second. On the second,
however, after your blending, pat
your legs to take away any streaki-
ness. Use the palm of the hand for
patting, so that you get an even, fiat
surface and resulting dull finish.
Let your legs dry thoroughly. And
we mean thoroughly. Brush your
teeth, comb your hair. put on your
facial before you don your dress.
and you'll find that leg make up
won't smear of onto your hemline
or the furniture.
There are so many leg make ups
on the market now that you'll have
plenty of opportunity for testing to
ind your favorite. Most girls prefer
the liquids which are easy to apply,
have "stick-to- itiveness" and
come of only with soap and water.
Some girls even maintain that you
can make a peachy leg makeup
from hand lotion and dark powder,
but. frankly, we haven't tried it.
Finally, don't be bothered by chit
chat about a curtailment OF leg
makeup. It's true that Under the

Victory - AS Usual

Western North Carolina has done it's
part-as usual.
The final tabluation of the scrap metal
campaign puts nine of the Il western
counties we'll over the top in pounds col
lected Q0O per capita. For the whole
mountain region a per capita poundage
of 81 is reported.
This means At ,846, 1927 pounds. Reduced
to TONS it would provide more than enough
scrap (plus the usual so per cent of newly
mined metaD to build two battleships of
the giant new Iowa class.
Nowhere did the campaign fail to pro-
duce patriotic response. Some counties
could not realize the 100 pounds per capita
goal though they made strenuous effort
to do so. Others were more fortunate.
Macon, for example, more than doubled its
quota, and Pennsylvania was not far be-
hind Buncombe went over the top by
generous 10 per cent.
And so, once again. the mountain region
has done it's part. It was the same with
war bond sales and war charities In these
civilian activities of course the home front
merely emulates the fighting front West
ern North Carolina yields to no section in
it's numbers Of Army, Navy and Marine
enlistments. It began long before Pearl
Harbor and continues undated
Our scrap departs for distant steel
mills, there to make that same impress
upon our growing supply of weapons as
our recruits who swell the ranks of the
nations armed forces. The last thousand
pounds may help to fashion the decisive
tank or the winning shell. Who can say?
If the rest of America can match or
even approach this effort the steel short
age will be a thing of the past. Western
North Carolina has done it's share-and
more. But, then, it always does. We may
lay proud claim to yet another victory on
the home front.
