Why Grow Old
Question Box
Bv J0sebhine Lowmon

y
1. will you please tell me how to
get rid Of my freckles? I would like
a pretty complexion. Please tell me
also how to get shorter If you possibly
can. If you can't tell me how to
get shorter leave that part out Of the
paper and tell me how to get fatter.
Thanks"
Answer-You will simply have to
stay out of the sun and bleach your
freckles with lemon Juice. Very few
persons write why Grow Old?" to
learn how to get shorter and fatter,
but here goes. I know OF no way to
decrease height. Let me give you
this warning. Do not slump because
you think you are too tall. A good,
queenly posture makes any height
attractive. To gain weight get plenty
of sleep, eat lots of fruits and
vegetables, but you can also have
gravy on your meat, cream on your
desserts, oil dressing on your salads,
and all the butter and bread you
want. Take vitamin B. too. Mild
exercise and outdoor life help also.
2. us there any way Of removing
brown spots from the outside with
bleach cream?
Answer know of no cream which
will take these of. Beaches may
tighten them some.
3. please tell me If there Is any
thing which will take hairs of my
face permanently"
Answer-Yes, they can be removed
permanently by electrolysis. See a
physician.
4. II am %, married and have no
children. I want children, but am
afraid to 60 to q doctor"
Answer - Why should you be
afraid7 BY all means do see a physi-
clan. They are doing wonderful
things now to make pregnancy pos
sible for women who would not
otherwise have children. Even the
last few years have brought progress
along this line.
S. II am 10 and feet inch tall.
Most members Of my family are tall.
Is there any kind Of exercise that
will make me grow taller7"
Answer-The only way / know to
increase height Is BY improving
posture. Be sure to straighten the
spine and hold the head high. This
always gives the impression Of
height. Also study line, fabric, and
design to make you appear taller.
Be sure to LIT the bust, giving
length through the torso.

Its Patriotic
To Keep WE'LL!
By Vida Camery, r. ~,

Community Service Society Of New York
It has always been a privilege to
keep well. Today it is also patriotic.
We must be well so that we, the
civilian strength of the Nation, can
contribute our share to the war
effort.
Our armed forces must have sum-
Client medical care when injury or
illness comes to them. Providing
this care has depleted the number
OF doctors and nurses available for
civilian needs. In order to conserve
the medical care available we must
do all we can to avoid illness and to
maintain our highest standard OF
health by regulating our living.
More than ever before preventive
care for the maintenance Of health
Is essential. Good health means
more than mere freedom from ILL

your fancy

Dear Miss Dix: I have q daughter
who was married after Pearl Har-
Dor. Her husband did everything
he could to evade the draft but was
indicted a short time ago and sent
to distant camp. He writes daily
to his wife, but his letters are one
long wall of finding and
about the i'll treatment that he re-
ceives and how unhappy he Is. This
unnerves my daughter until she is
on the verge of nervous prostration,
but she would be all. right If he
would only write her encouraging
letters, as she has a good job and
is working hard to pay Oh the debts
he left behind him.
We have tried to reason with her
and explain that he is Just one Of
millions Of other men who have
been called on to defend their coun-
try and that she is only one of many
other wives who are going through
the same ordeal, but she claims
that none Of the others love as
greatly as she and her husband do
or hate SO much to be parted.
She feels that she must deny her
self all pleasure and live the life
Of . martyr because he Is suffering
so. She even refuses to come to see
us, because she feels that we are
not sufficiently sympathetic and tell
her that it is not true that her
husband Is being victimized In the
Army.
What can we do to keep our
daughter from worrying herself to
death over this situation?
TROUBLED MOTHER.
Answer-It has been said that q
coward dies thousand deaths, the
brave man dies but once. This
being true, we can but have q con-
temptuous pity for the poor, little,
scared cat draft dodgers who, after
having taken all the privileges and
perquisites their country could give
them, were unwilling to defend her
In her hour Of need, who married in
order to have . wife's skirts behind
which to hide, and even ran up their
babies didies as white flag to pro-
tect them from . recruiting SER
geant.
And your daughter seems to have
as little patriotism and as little Of
the fighting spirit as her husband.
After all. she Is being called upon

Serious Mistake
Is Corrected
BY Expert
Way of Addressing
Catholic Priest
Is Explained
By E ,,siIy Post

want to head today's questions
with the important correction of a
quite serious mistake that was made
In one Of my recent answers. The
question was: How do you address
a Catholic notwithstanding adj
dress letter.. To this my answer
read Father Kelly" The answer
should have been: THE Rev. John
Kelly" Or, If his first name is not
known to you, you write 1.-THE Rev.
Father Kelly" When a priest is a
member Of religious order, the en-
velope Is addressed: THE Rev. John
Kelly, S. j." or 20. p" according to
the initials of the order OF which he
Is member.
But II my reader who asked How
do you address a Catholic priest"
had meant what name do you say
when you speak to him, the correct
answer would be Father Kelly" or
Father" or your Reverence"
I am much upset about this and
at loss to know how Miss Kent,
my assistant, and could both have
failed to catch it" in the proof! I
can only hope that If any Of nv
readers addressed Christmas cards to
Father Kelly" his reverence will
put the blame where 1t belongs-on
me.
Dear Mrs. Post: You have said
that junior officer is addressed Mr..
The envelope my brother gave me
with his address on it reads: Second
It., etc.
Answer-An envelope Is addressed
to his full name and precise rating
or rank. When a junior oficer is
addressed (meaning spoken to- he
Is called mister"
Dear Mrs. Post: Just how much
Of breach Of etiquette would it be
to let my f1ance's mother invite their
own relatives and friends to our
wedding? These invitations will
have to be given at the last minute
since the wedding day depends en-
tirely upon Johns furlough.
Answer-Under wartime circum-
stances which often prevent follow
ing ordinary conventions, the most
practical plan is the only sensible
one to choose.
Dear Mrs. Post: How to stop we'd
ding presents from coming because
Of an untimely divorce? After one
months marriage, I am leaving for
Reno to start divorce proceedings.
Some wedding presents are still COM
ing from distant places and I don't
feel that they should be accepted.
What disposition Is to be made of
them and In what manner? Also,
what shall I do about the presents
that arrived before the wedding?
We really never used any of the
things.
Answer - Had your engagement
been broken all presents would have
been returned. But since your we'd
ding did take place all the presents
are permanently yours-ethically as
well as actually. Ethically those
from his family and his friends
should be given to him; all other
presents are yours to keep.

Stettinius Says u. 5.
Food Shortage Is Not
Due 10 Lease-Lend
Tells Senate Committee
Shipments in ~ Were
Only 6 Per Cent Of Toto|
Earlier Story on Page A-1.)


BY the Associated Press.
E. r. Stettinius, jr., told the
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee today that lease lend
shipments Of agricultural prod
ucts to other countries are not
responsible for any food shortage
in the United States.
Urging continuance of the pro-
gram, the lease-lend administrator
testified that food shipments under
his direction totaled only 6 per cent
in dollar value of American farm
production last year. He added.
however that he expects such ship
ments to double during l943.
Noting large increases in Janu-
ary shipments of some items such
as lamb and mutton, Senator VAN
denberg, Republican, Of Mich. asked
if the export trend was going up
ward rapidly.
Increase Was a Freak"
Mr.. Stettinius replied that the
increase in lamb and mutton ship
ments from 0.4 per cent of the sup
ply in 1912 to 369 per cent in
January was a "freak" because of
a special demand which he did not
detail, as we'll as the fact that the
supply was large and the shipping
space available.
He said that while lease lend
shipped 10000 pounds of beef
in 1912, this country received $4,000. =
600 pounds from other countries. He
cited the rate of shipment of other
critical food items, observing @
This will prove conclusively that
lease-lend is not responsible for any
food shortage that might be i'm
minent in the United States" .,u
Senator Vandenberg asked If
Harry Hopkins. special assistant to
the President. has anything to do
with lease-lend."
Mr.. Stetinius replied Mr.. Hopkins
has no official connection with the
program, except that reflected by
Mr.. Hopkins position as chairman
of the Munitions Assignment Board.
He said, however, that Mr.. Hopkins
has been very helpful" with advice
in the operations.
Majority Leader Barkley asked
about efforts to fly supplies to China
and the witness said his organiza-
ton is assuming we can do the i'm
possible in getting aid to China" and
is bending every effort to increase
that aid.
