Game Library
Will Come
In Handy
Make Evenings In
A Pleasure for
Whole Family
BY A neelo Pntri

The game shelf should be cleaned
and the games set in order. These
days are just what games were
meant for and we must not forget
them in the rush of work. Mend the
old ones and add new ones. A game
library will come in handy many
times, and as games are not ex-
pensive, everybody ought to have
one.
Many fathers and mothers have
decided that the children are to stay
home more. That is a good idea, but
to make staying home pleasure be
sure there are things to do there,
amusing things as well as useful
things. Helping about the house has
its limitations; so have the radio
and the phonograph. Games fill in
and variety Of them will prevent
sameneSs and hold interest.
Provide the games that the chill
dren can enjoy. Older ones will like
cards Of different sorts, checkers
and chess and parchesi. The next
younger group can join them in
playing bingo. lotto. anagrams. This
last is game that never loses its
charm for those who can play 1t
and people Of all ages can do that
if they have any vocabulary at all
Dominoes are fine for older boys
and girls and even the younger ones
can enjoy 1t. Fishpond always
pleases the younger group and pin
ming the tail on the donkey will
charm the whole crowd.
For the little ones. lay in paper
hats, newspapers for making cooked
hats; toy balloons if they can be
had; clay pipes for blowing bub-
bles; scrap books and picture books;
paper dolls colored paper squares,
blackboard and chalk; blunt scissors
and paste, paint and brushes; COL
ored crayons; trunkful Of old
fashioned clothes.
Many other odds and ends will
come TO mind. Stock the game
shelves and the closets with them so
as to have them on hand for
service.
Set aside one shelf for games for
convalescent children. Ailing chill
dren who have to stay in bed when
they feel like being up and around
are sore trial to their mothers.
If there is special set of toys and
games which only the stay-abed
child is allowed to have. the situa-
ton becomes much relieved. The
privilege of these special toys is
tonic to the ailing one deprived for
the time of his legitimate standing
in his world.

Battle Furniture?
Whv, Certainly!

Now is the time for all good home
frontiers to come to the aid of the
furniture. Ever give wooden furni-
ture bath? It's . good way to
brighten the corner-and all that.
Not often, of course. Once or twice
a year But II ever, why not now,
when we're making everything last
for the duration?
Here's how to do it: Make light
lather-out Of mild soap, mind you.
and lukewarm water Wiring a soft
cloth out Of this lather. And start
washing-just a small area at a
time. Then before you go farther.
rinse with a cloth wrung out of
clear, lukewarm water. Dry at once
with another soft cloth. Then keep
on going with the same routine,
but start just within the clean area
each time. Finished? Get out the
furniture wax or polish at once,
and apply according to the manu-
facturer's directions.

morale, then we should go aheao
and dance.
But let's make our proms and our
parties a diversion and a relief from
more serious activities, and not an
end in themselves.
Orchestras are becoming hard to
get in some places because so many
young musicians have gone into
service. So don't put of the signing
up of a band until the last minute.
incidentally, this situation offers on
opportunity to groups OF high school
boys-or girls-who can play instru-
ments.
Here's a novel idea which a girls
club worked out for really practical
bit of patriotic entertaining. They
staged a taxi" dance with an ad-
mission charge of dime a head,
which covered the cost Of their re-
freshments. The music was provided
by records. Each girl was given a
Defense stamp album. and whenever
a boy danced with her he had to
present her with a 10-cent Defense
stamp.
At the end of the evening each
girl got to keep her album OF
stamps. but she donated an equal
amount of money to the Red Cross.
Thus the evening cost the boys lit
tie more than a dollar each. the
girls broke even, the Government
sold quite a few Defense stamps, and

Sweater Idea

A one-piece twin sweater set IS
costing the girls in London fewer
coupons than would two sweaters.
The pullover and cardigan effect
is achieved by sweater which
unbuttons down the front over a
false front.
This might be suggestion to
girls knitting their own twin
sweater sets. It would save time
and conserve wool.

Vitamin D Is not found In foods
in great enough quantities to pro-
vide us with our daily need. Butter,
milk and egg yolk are fairly good
sources, but we cannot eat enough
OF these for best health.
Some persons seem to have the
idea that only children require vita
min D. This is not true. Vitamin
D controls the amount Of calcium
and phosphate in our blood. 1nis
is essential for adults as we'll as for
children. No matter how rich the
diet may be in calcium, If vitamin D
is missing we cannot utilize 1t for
the body's good.
We must consider sunshine, vita
min D milk, fish liver and halibut
liver oils as our best sources. Today
vitamin D milk Is available. This
may provide as much as 430 units
of vitamin D per quart. However,
in most cases this Is not enough
for a child and this vitanin should
be administered by the use Of one
of the fish oils.
Remember that lack Of vitan1in
D in children will retard develop
ment, account for poor honey struc-
lures and bad teeth. Also, adults
require it for repair and proper
nourishment.
1t is a debated question as 10
whether or not sunlight can give us
sufficient vitamin D. Certainly dur
ing the winter months we will be
deficient in 1t II We rely on sun
entirely.
The question Of how much vita
min D to take should be discussed
with your family physician.
