It's Easy to Can
Tomato Juice

With a thought for her blue
ration coupons and another for
the new tomatoes forming In
abundance on her Victory gar
den vines, the homemaker may
well add tomato juice canning to
her summer activities, says the
Bureau of Human Nutrition and
Home Economics, USDA.
For home -canned juice is
point free and leaves the ration
coupons for other foods that can
not be put up in the home
kitchen.
Tomato juice canning Is easy
and does not require a hard
working pressure Gamer. If you
have no Victory garden. you will
still want tomatoes that are
home -grown-that is, from a
farm or garden nearby. Soft
tomatoes. not firm enough for
tomato canning and yet not over
ripe, make excellent juice.
Remove the stems and all green
or bad spots. Cut the tomatoes
into pieces and simmer until they
are softened Put them through
a sieve. Add one teaspoon Of
salt to each quart if you wish.
If there is baby in the house,
keep in mind that unsalted to-
mato juice will fit into an in
fant's diet and then decide
whether to salt or not to salt.
Reheat the juice to boiling.
Pour into hot jars or bottles i'm
mediately and leave one-quarter
inch head space. Then seal the
jars or bottles according to the
type of jar top you have.
Now process in boiling water

You can use your tomato juice
in many more ways If you do
not add spice at the time of can
ming. Spices. moreover, tend TO
darken the juice and change the
flavor over period of time. So

soon may be wearing shoes with
cotton soles and finding them every
bit as sturdy and long-lasting as
leather. This is just one more ex-
ample Of American industry doing
the seemingly impossible when faced
with wartime shortages. The COM
pany that developed this synthetic
outer sole of cotton claims that 1t
will give so per cent more mileage
than leather. They describe 1t as
being made OF tightly woven cot
ton treated under pressure with syn
thetic resin to increase resistance
to abrasion, heat and moisture" All
of which sounds pretty technical
but any process capable OF turning
cotton into imitation leather could
hardly be otherwise.
Plastic soles, Of course, are not
new. They have been used on play
shoes ard similar types Of footwear
for several years. But until recently

In Seeking Beauty, Important
Not to Neglect Your Back
BY Pnffcia Lindsay

Too many girls and women neg
lect the care of their backs. Not
that they do not wash their backs
and try to carry their shoulders in
good posture, but backs need more
pampering than that.
With the sun and swim season in
full swing, your back is exposed to
critical eyes. And you cannot see
it unless you take a hand mirror and
look at its reflection in another mir
ror. To get a good idea of the con-
dition of your back, ask friend to
look at it and tell you If there are
minor blemishes, if the skin is rough
and If the blades stick out!
Every time you battle in the tub
or under the shower you should scrub
your back with long-handled
brush and soap. Give it a brisk
brushing and then see that it is
rinsed very well.
II there are minor blemishes
small blackheads, whiteheads or
underskin red pimples) you will
have to resort to a good Dreaming
or oiling of the skin at least twice
a week, followed in the morning
with brushing as described above.
If this treatment fails to remove
the little unlovelies, then some one
should gently-but very gently
squeeze the ones out which have
come to head. A piece of face
tissue should be wrapped around
the fingers before squeezing and If
the pimpleS do not respond with
a gentle pushing you must oil them
again and let them soak another
day. If you force them out by
squeezing you will break the skin
and underlying tissue and it will take
from one to two weeks before the
discoloration will leave the skin.
If the blemish can be removed
gently, then you should put on
diluted germicide and let it dry so
the skin will not become infected.
When you are summing this sum-
mer you should protect your back
skin with a sun oil or cream, unless
your skin is very oily naturally. It
is not good to tan your back to
deep bronze without using a lubri-

Leather at War
Bv Rebecca W0od,Card.

Leather, like SO many other prod
ucts Of our farms and factories, has
gone to war. Since the Japs rained
bombs on Pearl Harbor q year ana
a half ago, the Army has purchased
approximately 10000, 600 pairs of
shoes in 249 different sizes and 80
different types. This tremendous
amount of G. I. footwear cost about
$t5, 900 900 a month, and the shoes
bought ranged in pattern from reg
ular service shoes to 10 special jun
gle boots, muklaks for wear in the
Arctic), ski and mountain boots,
etc. No wonder the fancier types of
feminine footwear are out for the
duration.
If the 1912 rate Of consumer buy
ing-it rose steadily each month
had been allowed to continue
through 1943, the American public
would have purchased nearly 100,-
100000 more pairs Of shoes this
year than last. Manufacturers
could have met the demand, but only
at the expense Of military and lease
lend orders-hence shoe rationing.
An almost astronomical number
Of shoes. gloves, belts, jackets, fly
ing suits and helmets are needed to
outfit our service men and women.
Leather also Is needed for hundreds
Of nonapparel, military uses. The
motorcycle trooper carries his car
bine or tommy gun in leather case
The dispatch riders bags are leather.
Mountain artillery is pulled, hauled
and carried with leather harness,
straps and belts.
A Government ofiicial recently
said, The military needs have been
and can be met. What remains Of
the Nations leather supply for
civilian use is substantial but not
unlimited"
A recent order issued by the War
Production Board banned the manu-
facture Of all-leather luggage fer
the duration. In view of growing
governmental restrictions on the
manufacture and sale OF leather
goods, it is more important today
than ever before to handle with
care" those pieces we have in our
possession - whether articles OF
wearing apparel or of personal
equipment, such as briefcases, lug
gage, leather wallets, etc.

Start of Season
For Dreaded
Paralysis
By Lettuce Lee Street,

One of the most dreaded and hor-
rible of all childhood diseases is
poliomyelitis, popularity known as
infantile paralysis. It's mention
causes parents. and members of the
medical profession alike, to feel cold
with apprehension.
Summer is when it arrives with all
Its Gripping fury-the months of
July to October, inclusive. find it
present in either the epidemic or
sporadic forms.
You mothers and fathers all know
that the disease is so contagious
that it is only common sense to keep
your children rictiv away from
crowded areas CstreetcarS, movies,
shops, trains and even bathing
beaches when there is poliomyelitis
in your vicinity. Above all, l want
to stress to you the importance Of
keeping your youngsters apart from
other children who have what ap-
pears to be only a bad summer cold
This may not sound reasonable
but it truly is, and today I want to
tell you ore or two interesting facts
about poliomyelitis.
Just how the disease is trans
mitted is unfortunately not known
with certainty. For years it was be-
lieved flies carried the disease.
However, no insect carrier has ever
been proved to play this part. 1t
seems more probable that direct con-
tact with individuals carving the
virus is the most likely method Of
transmission.
This germ is found in the body
IN the nasal secretions and in the
intestinal tract. Certain children
may harbor the organism for
months and thus become potential
carriers Of the disease.
Recent discoveries have dispelled
the belief that infantile paralysis is
but lightly contagious by showing
that for every child who is paralyzed
there are seven or eight abortive
cases of poliomyelitis in children
who show no evidence Of nerve or
muscle involvement.
It is very interesting to learn that
these latter cases have only been
discovered during epidemics of polio
by making examinations of the
spinal fluids and Of the intestinal
contents of the patients. This test
is made by injecting specially pre-
pared liquid portions flltrates) into
monkeys.
This is substantial proof that chill
dren suffering with evidences of
fever, drowsiness, malaise. but with
out symptoms of paralysis, had
poliomyelitis.

cursed Louise de la valliere,
saying:
May my curse be upon you and all your
descendants! May love and fortune be snatched
from them when they enjoy it most, and may
your race be doomed for all time"
However much It's curse may have
weighed upon Ewes heart and mind, it is well
known TO historians that Louise left no de.
scendants, and that Ewes real name was
Eugene Feneglio which she changed for stage
purposes. Perhaps she thought much about
Louise de la Valliere that she began to believe
that she had inherited the curse.
There was still another reason for retire

deeply.
During the last war, six daring French
aviators banded themselves together as La
valliere men, and swore they would perform
feats of daring in her honor, just like knights
of old used TO seek adventure in honor of
their chosen ladies'.
Eve at first was delighted and thrilled.
But one by one the aviators met death.
Lavalliere was then conscience-stricken to feel
that she had INDUCED in pride and egotism,
while these young men were bravey going TO
their deaths.
She held court in princely apartment
overlooking the historic Tuileries Gardens,
where Marie Antoinette used TO walk.
She would receive her friends, sitting up
in a beautiful bed that had belonged TO her
namesake, Louise de la Valliere. The idol of
the boulevards reposed in the ancient bed
propped up with soft piles Of delicate lace and
cambria pillows enfolded in rich quilt Of old
rose and gold lace
