Here's a joke on myself. c. c. I
told you last week about someone
selling me a ticket to a Tea to be
held at Mrs. Avery Washington's,
1714 North Twenty-Eighth, Sunday,
June 14th. Well, during the week,
else sold me a ticket and
when 1 brought the ticket back to
the office 1 discovered I had two
tickets for the same thing. Please
order me an armored-proOf coat of
arms so that I can resist these love-
" feminine charmers who are At
ways selling me things.
-CCM-
And speaking of selling me things.
Here's the best one vet. You know
how lonely I've been since I've been
in Omaha, c. c? Wei, last Satur-
day, 1 was walking down Twenty
Fourth Street when, a little dist
ance ahead Of me and coming in my
direction, l saw the most charming
feminine face and figure imaginable.
But strike me down if tbs lovely
vision didn't come straight towards
me land with gath Street being
crowded too) and began chattering
something to me, giggling the while.
1 don't know what she said 1 was
too thrilled to think that / should
be so favored by lady luck to even

said something about wanting soma
money. Could l refuse? Could
! you? 1 should say not. I gave her
! the money without question. She
! looked as though she meant to have
it and besides she had what appear
ed to be a feminine officer of the
law with her. This other party was
all logged out in military fashion.
And it certainly looked as if the
smiles and wiles Of the one wouldn't
produce the money the stern o~fficial
looking member of the Jaw would
furnish the persuasion.
I gave the money-what was ask

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Cistern Water Has Bad Odor

CiStern Water Has Bad Odor
 Water from cistern (rain water) in my parents country home has a smell" such as cistern water often has when 1t stands. Is there any chemical that will correct this odor?
 (Mrs. D. E)
 AnSwer-Probably from harmless organic material picked up by the rain water running over roof and cave trough. Use of chlorinated lime as for disinfecting drinking water would at least lessen the odor First make a mother solu- tion of teaspoonful of chlorinated lime ("Chloride of limeD from freshly opened can in 1 1-2 pints 6 measuring cups of ounces each) of water. Add a teaspoonful of this mother solution for each gallon of water in the cistern. This same mother solution is useful for disin- fecting questionable drinking water in camps or at summer vacation spots. The chlorine in the water can be tasted, but not too badly. It makes the water safe to drink.
 Vinegar
 Tell me, please, what Is the value or harm in the use of vinegar, if any? (F. R. O.
 AnSwer-No harm in using it as condiment. Vinegar is dilute acetic acid. Acetic acid cannot be utilized, oxidized, in the body, except with difficulty. Citric acid Gas in lemon juice) is readily oxidized in the body so that 1t tends to decrease acidity of urine, increase or maintain al- kalinity of blood.

WOMAN,S REALM
GlOrfing Yourself
M AMela RaRA

My friend, Nancy, always smiles understandingly and a little proud ly, too, when the girl beside her in a bus evokes the comment, My what a long face" For Nancy can think with satisfaction, That's just what always used to be said about me-" But now Nancy seems to have an oval face of perfectly good pleasing, proportions.
 Reasons?
 Nancy wears her hair flat on top, fluffed out at the sides to pro- duce horizontal line parallel with her chin. When she tires of this she combs her hair back from the forehead-but then she is very care full to have some low-placed fullness behind the ears. She finds unswept coiffureS too severe, except when they are done for her by an expert styliSt who swirls and drapes the locks becomingly.
 Nancy has a natural, medium width eyebrow. Experience showed her that extending the line with 8 pencil made her forehead seem too broad, her chin angular, pointed and sharp.
 She has decided that, regardless of current talk of war-inspired white face" fads, therell be no rougeless cheeks for her. By plac- ing rouge in 8 circle in the center of her cheeks. Nancy makes them seem rounder, fuller. She never brings the color too close to the nose, nor down below an imaginary line from the tip of her nose to the bottom of her ear.
 LONG EARRINGS ARE STUNNED
 Her lipstick is applied as widely and fully as possible without actual ly distorting the lips natural shape.
 She never wears long earrings nor Snoods nor other hats which would emphasize down-sloping lines from the sides of her nose to the corners of her muth.
 And she positively will not wear those so-fashionable fall 1942 stove pipes. Instead, her headliners will be berets, round enough to round out her headshape and not wide enough to make a "T" shape of her face-and-hat silhouette in front.

SULFUR IN NUTRITION
 There is some sulfur in every pro- tein, in foods, in the body. Egg white contains little more than egg yolk. All kinds of lean meat,
 fish. cheese. poultry contain sulfur Milk. beans, peas, cabbage, oatmeal, peanuts, wheat, buckwheat. sweet corn, dried corn, cornmeal, white flour, nuts, all contain considerable sufur. Fruits contain compara- lively little. In the body of per- son weighing 150 pounds there is about six ounces of sulfur-all of 1t, remember, not in the elementary form of sulfur itself but in chemi- cal combination with other ele- ments in such proteins (amino- acidS as cystine found in hair, keratin found in skin and nails, in inSulin, in various ductless gland hormones etc. Vitamin B contains considerable sulfur. Nutrition chem istS estimate that an adult obsorbs about Is to ? 0grains (one-third of a teaSpoonful( of sulfur daily, if the diet includes fair proportion of milk, eggs, meat, legumes and other natural food sources of sul- fur, and excretes, mainly in the form of sulfates, approximately the same quantity.
 The famous old spring medicine, equal parts of sulfur and molasses that and the catnip tea were not half bad to take, were they?-had just one effect, a mildly laxative &C., tion. So far as we know, sulfur has no other effect when taken as medi- cine. Probably no one suffers from shortage of Sulfur in the diet and probably no one gets too much sul- fur in the diet. As for purifying the blood" of course that Is without meaning-the only "impurities" that can be in the blood are the products of disease germs or products of the deranged metabolism of disease and sulfur can have no effect on these. However, Sulfur and mo- lasses Is the ideal laxative for one suffering with hemorrhoids. Sulfur, senna and licorice powder mixed with sugar and oil of fennel com- poses compound licorice powder" "I or as 1t is more descriptively called compound senna powder" the usual laxative dose of which is from half to one teaspoonful taken stirred in water. This is a familiar laxative prescription for the mother following childbirth, but senna is eliminated in the milk and may have an effect on the nursing baby. so sulfur, licorice, etc, without the senna Is preferable.
 Sulfur in various forms has been used in the treatment of chronic arthritis, sometimes shots" of an organic form of sulfur. Whether it is ef1cacious in any type of arth- rius have been unable to ascer- tain.

 Goats MIX
 Chance to buy milking goat. Neighbors tell me I will never want to use the milk, etc. Has goats milk less food value than cowg milk? (Mrs M. O.
 Answer-It has virtually the same nutritive value as cows milk. Any one who can have fresh goats milk is fortunate, s think.

But it does high-ight problem of the times. In thousands of marriages today either the husband wife has suddenly taken extra hours of tiring work.
 A husband used to desk job goes into war factory-and in addition to the work being harder than anything he has done in years, he finds that he is putting in a lot of overtime.
 If his wife expects him to take her out as often he used to, or to do as much hired man" work around the house and yard as he once did-they to run into trouble BOTH COULD DO EXTRA WORK
 Or, 1t may work the other way. A wife, who has done nothing but keep house since she was married, goes out and gets herself defense job.
