Why Grow
Old?
By Josebhine Lowman

-
Don't let anyone tell you that
"you have to expect it at your age"
or that overweight is becoming to
one after 30," or that you have to
keep your strength up" by eating
chocolate sodas and apple pie.
'Tisnt So!
Those are phrases which sooth
your ego, lull initiative to sleep and
make 1t easier to deteriorate. Don't
settle down into inertia, lackluster
and that middle aged appearance
with these phrases pounding in your
ears. They are false and will trick
you into premature aging.
The results in figure improvement
are worth the effort to woman
but even more important, the re-
suits in health repay you many
times over.
OF course, you should consult your
doctor before exercising. In fact
you should have a physical exam
ination before starting in on any
course of exercise.
Join my Eight Weeks Self
Improvement Marathon. Have
your examination-but in the
meantime send in a word picture
Of yourself so you will have your
directions and can begin with
the others.

Good dining room service does not
imply dallying about on the part of
the walters, but it is a far cry from
good service to mad chase between
kitchen and table.
OF course, there are poorly con-
Quoted dining rooms, with inefficient
management which reflects in shift
less and unintelligent work by the
walters. But if the client lets him.
self be lured into such dining room
second time it is his own fault.
Choosing good hotel dining room
or restaurant is the first element
of importance. And that rests with
the patron. But that is not difficult,
because with few exceptions every
"class A" hotel has a good dining
room, properly stated. The restau-
rants in any city which are rated
as first class" have a personnel
capable of serving meal properly.
In fact, most dining room personnel
can do much bettersthan their usual
performance. And that is because
the captains and the walters un-
consciously respond to the patrons.
1t is sad but true that restaurant
and hotel dining room service is all
too often at low ebb because the
personnel shrugs its shoulders and

At the Hotel Brevoort in New York
there used to be a great head waiter,
Jean Tournet by name, nicknamed
Flambeau. One day Jean said: In
this dining room every one is given
good service. But the man who de-
serves it gets great service"
What do you mean-the man who
deserves it?" we asked.
HE is the man who comes. what
you say in English, 50-50i Meaning
this: We recognize such a patron at
once as he and his guests enter the
dining room. He is not moving in
at the head of parade, as one
might say. Neither does he hide in
the rear. We see at once that he

him and he knows us, though we

Of seeing him before. He is not

but he does cast his eye over the
entire room and is able at once to
discuss intelligently the choice of
table. And for such a one good

Young ladies of the family approve
1t as makeup film which helps to

Go to Market for
Beauty as Well
AS Nutrition
Figure Alignment and
Poise Reward of
Smart Shopper
By Patricia Lindsay

Today I am writing only tt
housewives who must do their owr
marketing: to women who spenc
an hour or two each day fetching
the food the family eats. That
time can serve beauty as we'll as
the family, If woman will use hel
head.
Marketing is best done in the
morning hours. So, If one can
walk to the shops in comfortable
walking shoes, and warmly but
lightly dressed. Too heavy coats
carried far on shoulders, strain
the body and tend to make the
shoulders bend forward. A lighter
coat enables you to walk with a
spring in your step and in correct
posture, which makes your body
graceful.
In these days Of carrying your
share for victory, you can pull
your body out of correct alignment
If you always subject the same side
to strain. When you are having
your parcels wrapped, have the
merchandise divided equally, as to
weight, in two packages. Then
carry parcel in each arm to avoid
strain.
II you must carry all in one bag
or basket, stop several times on
your way home to shift the weight
from one hand to the other. Other
wise serious marketing" pains can
appear in the neck and shoulders
and near the ribs, which alarm
women greatly.
When ordering the provender
which you carry home do you con-
slider those foods which build health
and beauty? Do you include plenty
of leafy and root vegetables, fresh
fruits in season, milk, whole grain
cereals, eggs, cheese and honey?
We can all get along on little meat
providing we have ample of the
foods mentioned above. Through
out the winter serve and eat fresh
salads of fruits or vegetables, breads
and mullins and cereals made OF
whole grain products to give you
and yours sufficient energy. And dc
not waste the leaves of celery, bee1
green's, carrot tops, or the outer
leaves of lettuce which are not de-
cayed. Learn to use these in good
tasting, nourishing soups and stews
and know that you are feeding
beauty.
Yes, your marketing can serve
your beauty if you will let it. Ane
remember, too, that many a gooe
beauty treatment comes from the
pantry shelf! Eggs for facials ane
shampoos, olive oil for skin and hail
beauty, starch in bath to soothe
salt to dissolve in water to batht
eyes and to gargle with. and there
are many other home remedie!
which have served beauties in tht
past. But food consumed is better
for beauty than food applied exter'
nally, especially during these day!
when We are urged to conserve.

often you'll see them smoking a

the soldiers themselves add that a

POSTWAR WORLD
BY Charles E. Kettering

(WNU Feature-Through special arrange
ment with The American Magazine.)
Everybody talks these days about
what kind of world we shall have
after the war. There are two kinds
Of fellows to watch out for: One
kind says we are going to have a
heaven on earth; the other kind
says the world is going to pot. They
are like the two sides of an electric
switch-one all light and the other
all darkness. But life doesn't work
that way.
I think we are going to be some
where in between-and the nature
of that in-betweenness is going to
depend on how well veal of us
think and plan as we go along.
But lot of what passes for post
war planning" is really postwar
wishing" The way to tell the diff
ference is this: Does the scheme
assume that human nature will be
different after the war? If it does.
it's postwar wishing.
Human Race Plods On.
The human race has been around
for a couple of million years. I
don't know how many thousand wars
it has fought during that time. But
the human race keeps plodding
along in the same sort of direction.
It has powerful continuity about
it. This war is not going to upset all
that. We can do something to change
our method of thinking, and that is
very important. But changing the
nature of us humans is something
else again.
So, when q plan says that after
this war is over everybody is going
to be a good neighb0r and nice
fellow and SO on, / think you can
question that.
''Well, even So" say the wishful
gazers, ''it will be a wonderful
world. Look at all the marvellous
new inventions made during the
war. Plastics, radar, synthetic rub
Der, new light metals, helicopters,
and all the rest. Won't they make
a bright new world?"
I'm an optimist, too, but I like
to ask questions. Which of those
things was invented during the war?
Answer: Not any of them. All rep
