WAR BONDS

All branches, the Army, Navy, Air
Corps, the Marines and the Coast
Guard, use balloons for various pur-
poses in this war. The barrage bal
loon, with Tapping wings and fins,
plays an important role as protec-

ton balloons of the Navy, or the an
chored balloons of the Coast Guard
and Marines, also play important
parts.

Moles were so highly regarded in the days of the French kings that making artificial moles oi court-plaster was a thriving busi- ness. And "beauty-marks" are stil admired today when they are small and call attention to a pretty fea- ture.
 However, some moles are dis pleasing to the eye, and some are danger signals. Growing knowledge of these facts has led many people to regard all moles as blemishes and to seek to remove them-some- thing which is not always wise. When a mole shows signs oi growth, you should consult the very best skin specialist you can. This kind of mole probably should be re- moved, but ONLY as the doctors orders. Moles which detract from your looks may be removed also but again only on the doctors ad- vice.
 Smooth, blue black moles may be dangerous. If you have one which is subject to irritation by clothes particularly collars or belts or shoes you should consult the doctor about it, whether or not it looks unat- tractive.
 MALIGNANT TENDENCIES
 This kind of mole may have 8 tendency to become malignant Where treatment is necessary, il may involve cutting out some dis. tance from the mole's borders. O1 course, the relative infrequency o1 such moles' developing dangerously is indicated by the fact that there's hardly an individual alive who has no moles.
 For that reason. it is wise to have them checked, for if the mole is innocuous you should know that too. Which leads me to repeat: Only the specialist should advise you about any particular mole.

Cheese, any kind you prefer, is still as rich in calcium and phos- phorus as ever, and these elements are still probably more often def1- cient in the American diet than any other food clements, but the notion that any food or food ele- ment is nerve food" or a brain food" or that any food material will especially restore nervous energy" or relieve "nrevous exhaus- ton" has been discarded by honest physicians-for the simple reason that there is no such thing as nervous exhaustion" apart from ordinary physical energy, muscular energy, physical exhaustion. No phySiologist recognizes nervous en- ergy" and no physician can hon. estly make such a diagnosis or en. courage patients in the dangerous belief that their trouble is due to nervous exhaustion''-no matter what eminent medical men of the past thought about "neurasthenia."
 Calcium deficiency (and general. ly phosphorus deficiency is asso- ciated with it) is the immediate manifestations which the wiseacres factor of many of the symptoms or regard as nervous weakness" or nervous irritability."
 Mind, now, Mrs. Wiseacre, I do not mean to imply that your com- plaint is imaginary, hysterical or unreal. am merely trying to dis abuse your mind of the notion that nervousness" or nervous exhaus- tion" or nerve strain'' or "neuras- thenia" or lack of nerve energy" accounts for it.
 Besides nutritional deficiencies, especially calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitanins, which are as likely to oc- cur among the well-to-do as among the poorer Wiseacres-who always have their queer convictions about food, diet and digestion-the state of anoxia, that is, oxygen deficiency in the tissues and cells of the body, is common factor of complaint that too often masquerade as nervous trouble"
 Frankly I do not expect this harangue will dent the hard shell of the average Wiseacre with "weak nerves" But 1t ought to give any fairly intelligent Glass A neurotic the courage to ask his or her doctor how come; and if any reputable doctor still has the temerity to di- agnose nervous exhaustion" or "neurasthenia" it ought to chal- lenge him to reveal the physiolog- ical basis of his quaint conception.

|. McKENNEY ON BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY America's Card Authority

One of the South's most ardent bridge fans is Benjamin O. John son of Spartanburg, s. c. Johnson believes that after the war, dupli- cate bridge will become Americas s greatest competitive pastime. He says that few people realize that you do not have to hold good cards in tournament bridge in order to win 6 championship.
 AS an example, he gave me the hand shown today in which a sac rifice bid give him fine score. His opponents had bid small slam, which they would have made. John son therefore lost less by going down 900 points than he would have if his opponents had been al- lowed to make the slam - and thus he received a top score.
 West began by leading three rounds of trumps to kill any ruffs by dummy. That held Johnson South to four spade tricks, two clubs and heart, down five tricks.

Serve Something Simple

OCEVc OOmctuins SImplc
 Free from the frills and expen- sive dishes and yet so attractively delicious"-this description should fit every luncheon which a really good hostess plans today. Most women are so active with war work outside their own homes that the elaborate luncheon has no place in their entertaining schedule. Yet each of us realizes the value and necessity of business as usual" :" maintaining our homes at as normal level as we possibly can, having our friends in for gay and attrac- tive parties, with time left over to give to Red Cross, Defense Council, or some other phase of war work.
 This is quite an order but not an impossibility. Tn planning your next luncheon keep in mind that a smaller party with fewer guests than you may be accustomed to having is ill accord with our new way of living and entertaining and certainly eliminates all the dif- ficultes which usually accompany more formal and elaborate lunch cons. It has always been fun to use colored linens and gay china, now 1t should become the rule. Center pieces may follow the dictates of the season. A bowl of brightly pol- ished fruit or vegetables of con- trasting color and shape is par- ticuarly effective during these fall months.
 The choice of menu will. of course, depend on the whims and fancies of your guests. If you have reached the point where you simply cannot think of thing to serve, why not try the following suggested menu and recipes:
 Spanish Cheese Fondue'
 Tossed Green Salad Apricot Bran Muffinss and Butter
 Raspberry Peach Sundae
 MIX and Coffee
 The Spanish Cheese Fsildue Is the perfect main dish. Use:
 l-2 cup mined onion
 i-4 cup minced green ueuuer

Kitchen accidents in wartime cut down on the efficiency of the home front. Injured members of the family slow down war work and threaten morale. Let's prevent all accidents in the kitchen. Study the following check list and apply 1t where you can.
 Keep windows closed or shielded so as not to cause draft that might blow out gas flames and cause pos- siblo asphyxiation. Keep garbage pails, water buckets. etc., out of the path so they will not cause falls. Be particularl, careful when cook ing to prevent hot fat and boiling water from falling on you. Tn wash- ing dishes watch out for clipped plates, knives and sharp forks. AL ways dry hands before touching electrical equipment to prevent pos- sibility of electric shock.
 BEWARE OF CUTS
 AND SKIN INJURIES
 Use gloves when polishing silver and using cleaners to prevent any harm to skin. Hold bread-kniyes carefully to avoid cutting fingers.
 Carefully check all electrical con- nections to make sure plugs and wires are in good condition. Check on electric refrigerators. coasters, rai;;s- and other appliances to be sure they are in first-class working

WE, THE WOMEN - Community Bees" Help Ease Drudgery Of Extra Housework

 SHARING WORK MAKES FOR NEW SOCIABILITY
 Women are getting together on good old-fashioned sewing bees. too getting a little talk and compan- ionship while they rip up their old dresses and make them over for the children.
 If they don't use a little imagina- tion. a lot of women are going to find themselves completely tied to their homes, as it becomes neces- sary for them to take on more and more work. But if they do figure out ways of sharing work and doing part of it together some of their work can offe ras much sociiability as fashioned quilting bees, which, by the way, are coming back into favor as women turn woolen scraps into warm quilts for air raid shelters.

 Who are the WiseacresP They are the great American family of all grades of intelligence who know too many things about hygiene, health, physiology and disease which ain't so."
