WE, THE WOMEN
New Design For Living Should
Reward War Separated Couples

trying to have as nice things"
as the Joneses.
Some couples will have to cut
all the aimless, unnecessary ac-
tivities that cluttered up their
lives.
But whatever it was that kept
them from fully enjoying life in
the past, couples who have had
time to examine their marriages
effectively have decided to cut it
out in the future.
EMPTY PATTERN
That is something young folks
don't often get around to figuring
out. The man is often so absorbed
in getting ahead in business or
professionally. and the wife so
intent on doing the right things"
socially that they fall into a pat
tern of living that doesn't give
much real happiness and satisfac-
ton.
But the couples who are now
separated because of the war are
waking up to the fact that life is
hurrying by, and that they have
wasted enough of it.
The men and women whose
marriages haven't been touched
by teh war aren't nearly so likely
to learn that lesson. They may
never feel the need of looking at
their lives closely enough to find
out what is wrong with them.
They may never be pared out of
their complacency enough to see
whether or not they are in a
narrow rut.

as the result of localization within

The lymph note is remarkable eff

In accomplishing this purpose,
the node becomes enlarged, and
may easily be felt. The enlarge

nation, which means that the
blood supply increases, the cells
that make up the gland enlarge,
and new cells enter the node to as

Here's a War Shortage That's
Nothing To Sneeze AT: PEPPER
BY BETTY MACDONALD
lNEA Staff


Washington, July 9. - "Pass the
salt, and go easy on the pepper"
should be a household warning in
days to come, with the Department
of Agriculture's announcement that
pepper quotas this quarter have been
cut to 40 percent of the base period
in 1941.
Black and white pepper from the
Dutch East Indies, kitchen standbys
for generations, have become war
casualties. The present reduction
quota will be felt at the consumer
level within the next few months.
However, industry members believe
that under the quota system, the
pepper supply can be extended for
30 months. Then, unless synthetics
are developed, or the war ends,
there won't be any more pepper.
Meanwhile, half the pepper in
the country is being stored by two
large investment firms who won't
sell at OPA price levels C IL cents
a pound) A wry consolation is that
pepper improves with age and keeps
for centuries.
Meat packers have now turned
to using domestic cayenne in their
products, but housewives are urged
by government economists to stretch
their existing pepper supplies. Keep
popped in tigha containers to pre-
serve the aromatic oils and store it
on dry. dark shelves.

HEALTH COLUMN-
Enlarged Lymph Nodes Usually
Indicate Some Body Infection

lymph nodes below and behind
the angle of the jaw are easily
felt and are slightly tender.
Usually, the swollen masses re-
solve soon after the infection sub
sides, but occasionally, because
the structure of the nodes has
been altered by the accumulation
of new cells, the swelling may
persist for weeks, though the ten
derness generally subsidies. If the
primary infection becomes chronic,
the lymph nodes may remain en-
larged until the infection is elm
mated
DIRECT INFECTION
Rarely, a lymph node succumbs
to infection. When this capitula-
ton takes place, the mass becomes
larger and more painful, the over
lying skin red and glazed, and final
ly the center of the node is broken
down into pus. Ultimately, the skin
breaks, and the pus is discharged.
Simple, enlarged lymph nodes
should not be massaged, and moth
ing should be rubbed into them.
Such manipulations may break
down the defensive structure and
allow the infection to pass on
toward the blood stream. If they are
tender, a warm compress should be
applied. If they persist beyond a
few weeks, a physician should be
consulted, and he will seek out and
try to eliminate the source of the
infection.
There are other reasons for en-
larged lymph nodes, and when
they are found without previous
infection, their significance may
be serious, and competent medical
advice should be sought.

Sometimes women who take the
best of care of their skins have a
sprinkling of blackheads on their
chin and around their nose.
They never neglect to cream
their face at night before retiring

But because they don't do these
two important beauty rites prop
