Had
A Few Tricks
Up Her Sleeve
BY BETTY CLARKE
Wide World Beauty Editor

Maybe the horse and buggy days
are coming back. Maybe priorities
will take some of your beauty
products. Who cares? Even SC
you won't be an ugly duckling.
Grandma was a beauty and she
never heard about priorities!
In her romantic days she
whipped up most of her beauty
preparations right in the kitchen
Perhaps you can take few tips
from her; let's go to Godey's Lady
Book and see:
The facial mask which kept
brandmother's skin lovely ano
smooth sounds like the morning
porridge. She boiled handful OF
oatmeal in water and when coo.

Other times she beat up the white
of an egg and lathered her face
with it. No, she didn't have black.
heads. Once in a while she put a
thin layer of cream on her face
and held her head over basin oil
boiling water to let the steam re.
move impurities.
Rain Barrel Beauty
The good old rani barrel was a
help to grandmother flaWless
complexion too. She wouldn't think
of washing her tender skin with
hardwater If no rain water were
available, she used a pinch OF
borax to soften hard water.
When she got suntanned (which
wasn't often she bleached the
tan and freckles with buttermilk.
Sliced cucumbers soaked in skim
milk, or dash of lemon juice
in fresh milk were also her stand
bys for bleaching. At the first sign
of wrinkles, she'd coat her face
with mixture of honey and
lemon.
If the bloom in grandma S
cheeks wasn't natural, it was next
to it. She simply scrubbed her
cheeks to a blush with hot water
and washcloth. She didn't need
rouge.
Grandmother hands we're kept
lily white this way: Every time
she washed her hands, she dried
them thoroughly by plunging he1
hands into bowl of dry oatmeal
If they happened to be the leas1
bit rough, she rubbed them vel
with cows cream. And some times
she went to bed wearing big NIT

You Can Halt
9TH Column
Right At Home
By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX
NEA Service Staff Writer

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
it where you can.
Keep windows closed or shield
ed so as not to cause draft that
might blow out gas flames and
cause possible asphyxiation. Keep
garbage pals, water buckets, ETC.,
out of the path so they will not
cause falls. Be particularly care
full when cooking to prevent hot
fat and boiling water from falling
on you. In washing dishes, watch
out for Clipped plates, knives and
sharp forks. Always dry hands
before touching electrical equip
ment to prevent possibility of elec-
tric shock.
BEWARE OF CUTS
AND SKIN INJURIES
Use gloves when polishing sill
Yer and using cleaners to prevent
any harm to skin. Hold bread
knives carefully to avoid cutting
fingers.
Carefully check all electrical
connections to make sure plugs
and wires are in good condition.
Check on electric refrigerators,
toasters, mixers and other appli-
ances to be sure they are in first.
class woking condition.
Do not store rags, mops and
brooms in closets containing in
1lammable materials, such as
cleaning fluids, benzine, wax and
pollshes. This will prevent spon-
taneous combustion.
Use firm stepladders, not chairs,
IN taking foods from high closets.
Keep matches away from reach
OF children. Keep kitchen floors
1ree from grease.
IN other words, run the Seventh
column out of your kitchen. Pre-.
vent all possible accidents by in.

Ruth Millett Says 1t Takes
Courage To Be Just Mrs. Jones

made up her mind there would be
no crying, no blue spells at
least no outward signs of any
and that she would try as hard as
she had when her boys were
around to make happy, cheerful
home. That was courage.
BOYS GONE, SHE TAKES
WAR JOB
And now, since she really hasn't
enough to do to keep her busy,
and since she is strong and in
good health and women are need
ed in war plant in her town, she
has become another war worker.
It is the first job with a pay
check that she ever has held down.
It is hard work. 1t would have
been easier to go on making full
time job of her housework, filling
in the extra hours with ''busy
work" But she decided to tackle
real job. At her age, that took
courage.
Since she never will be cited fol
bravery, and since there are thou
sands of mothers in the country
who every day are showing equa
courage-this column is just te
say, "Nice going, Mrs. Jones'.
