Dentists or physlciafl need inciose only c stamped geu addressed envelope.
 in most instances 1 have asked tho dentist to whom l mailed the booklet to Critieise It or mo 5ust between ourselves, ifi a friendly way s-that is, to tell me of # 1 am wrong about anything. in his judg- fnent, just as my medical and defls tai friends, do, without gloves. ' can take t, and like it, and just such criticism is and always has been of utmost value ln keeping this column, well, say from going haywlre. For example, on c fatefui Sunday (June i7, '29) appealed Co dentists who were legitlniately efls titled to the degree DDS, or DIM. D. or ether doctorate degree than MD. to rellnquish tse Of the trade name Doctor" to practiclng physi. clans exclusively, for the welfare of tho public. That was pretty radical gtiii, it was not untii c few years later, as nearly as can Fecollecs now, that I committed the uilfnFs glveable sin=-f proposed that Draes ticing dentists adopt . certain trademark name (Which 1 afii not going to mention any f1oFe) to ifis dicate to the public the nature Of their trade, leaving the trademark name Doctor" to the exclusive use of practIeing physicians.
 Of tho six hundred odd dentists scarcely A dozen took time out to cFltlcise the booklet CT my teaehs ings-that is,sif on honest sincere way.
 A new edition Of the booklet "Save Your Teeth" is now feedys and I invite dentists to send . stamped self addressed envelope for a copy (PhysIcians, too, Others may have c copy for twentysflve cents and stamped self addressed enVeiope). believe and hope the dentists will And little in the new edition they cannot approve Of. ! even hope they may drive some practical benefit from gianclng through the booklet. 1 snail not ask for thelr comments about it one way or another, but any dentist ike any physician. who may be friendly enough to criticise aiys thing ir iny column oF lti my teachs ings, faVorabiy or unfaYorably, ae he might critIeise his colleague cone fidentiaily, will find that I'm not the so.afid.so some interests would have you think.

Selected Poem
FARM AT TWILIGHT
(Mary Atwater Taylor in The New York Times)

Home coming cattle at the pasture-bars, The happy drone of busy humning bees, The wild blackberry-vne's white pointed stars The fraorance dripping from the locust trees; Twilight has fallen on the heated day, A nights rest for the farmer and the blow. The s<y has dimmed from rose to shadowy gray, A sleepy twittering enfolds each bough.

 Answer--Any reader who asks for the pamphlet (no clipping will stf- fice) and lneioses stamped envelope bearing his or her address may have t. It A not false modesty but just plain neglect of education that makes you hesitate to talk to your doctor about any trouble Of body or mind.
 Foot Trouble
 I am 90, and suppose from now on one must expect foot trouble, 4 few years ago my right foot--so ! went to a specialist for feet, and he ordered c certain kind Of shoes.
 Miss '. D.
 Answer -- Your feet are part Of your body. You should consult . physician about foot trouble, as you do about stomach trouble. Or you may pass the ordinary doctors and go directly to an orthopedic Sur- geon ..-. a physician who limits hls practice to correction or prevention of deformIties (of feet. bones, joints. spine etc.) Of course this is more expensive than consulting c general practitioner. You may get some practical help from the booklet "Care of the Feet'--for copy send ten cents and stamped envelope bearing your address.

Many q young bride, who has

but never in her widest irnaginings
saw herself scruhbing 1t, will be tao
king the job this year. Many an
experienced housekeeper has never
had to face the CRIME that soft coal
has deposited on her home and its
Furnishings 1t has this past win
ter--and, quite possibly, unaided by
maid or professional services, she
will carry on alone. For these, and
all the rest Of us, few suggestions
might be timely.
First Of all-dont tear the whole
house apart. get your life and that
Of your family In . turmoil trying
to do the whole work at once. Do
1t, one floor at time-and skip a
week in between II that seems best.
After all, we have to live and work!
Frazzled nerves and extreme physi-
cal exhaustion are not wise with all
the other things demanded these
days, so plan q schedule. and take
1t easy.
Next, get some work gloves and
one Of the protective hand creams,
which are called invisible gloves,
to save your hands as much as you
can. You will still know you have
been working hard-but every little
bit counts. Assemble comfortable

this point add two heaping table
spoonfuls of minced shallot and
then pour over one cup OF light
cream sauce and two tablespoonsful
of chopped parsley. Add a 4-ounce
glass of good dry white wine, or,
In lieu of the wine, a not so good
substitute is half water and half
lemon juice. In a pinch, where
no wine nor lemon Is available, the
trick has been done with 4 ounces
OF dry ginger ale.
The pan is covered tightly and
set into a medium oven for half
an hour. BY that time the chicken
is very tender and the sauce has
turned into a delicious mixture
Arrange the pieces of chicken on
hot platter and pour over the
sauce, seeing to 1t that the almonds
are evenly distributed.
Incidentally, this Is not a dish
which calls for expert culinary skill,
but it does require q sympathetic
attention to detail. It Is dish
which permits of great intelligence
on the part of the cook.
This is the time of year when
the canned products OF the Vic
tory garden count splendidly
Home-packed green string beans
came to the rescue for green vege-
table and q quart jar of cherries

ice (whatever yeoman service Isl

oil or butter. In pinch, bacon fat
must do. To this add, for eight
servings, eight teaspoonsful Of
chopped parsley and eight of finely
minced shallots. Add the clans or
mussels, set the lid tight and let
the kettle steam for about five min
utes or until the shell-fish are
opened. Remove the shell-f1sh to
large serving dishes and fix the
sauce. This has now been increased
by the juice from the shells. Add
some black pepper and thicken to a
light creamy consistency-using a
few soaked stale bread crumbs or a
cup or so of white sauce. "a hardy
soul will add some chopped garlic to
the chopped shallots-but that is
optionao Heat the sauce well and
then pour 1t over the shell-fish just
as they are to be served. Serve oys-
ter forks to handle the contents of
the shells, but 1t is proper to soak
up the sauce with bits of bread crust.
Now the delectable dish "Poulet
aux amandines' means chicken
with almonds-and an exquisite
concoction it is. For eight servings,
four broilers are required, each
broiler cut into four pieces. Dust
the chicken with salt and pepper
and then fry slowly in butter OF
butter substitute. AS the chicken
becomes well heated, add to the
pan two cups of blanched almonds
together with some minced parsley
a couple of pinches of marjoram
and a bay leaf or two, ground up
fine. Turn the chicken often until
it is light brown on all sides. AT

Anybody can present a great
dinner to group Of friends" said
the members of the Club de Jeudi
the club of four couples who get
together once a week and let the
men folks do the cooking, when
there is no rationing, when there
are many cooks to be employed
and when peace comes back after
victory is won. But serving forth
a truly gourmet meal under present
conditions-well, that's challenge
that's an undertaking to set down
in the pages of culinary history"
All this was said while the latest
gourmet dinner was served and ra-
ton points were being conserved
Here was the dinner:
CLAIMS Mariniere
Poulet dur An,1ndines
Hon,e-Canned String Beans
Green Salad
Hone-Cdnned Cherry Pie
Coffee.
With such q menu, the club could
well turn up superior nose at
friends who walled about lack of
beef steaks and roasts.
The club felt very proud Of its
accomplishments with this dinner
and is talking of challenging any
other similar organization.
First of all the clans mariniere
For this dish little neck clans in the
shell may be used or mussels may
be obtained. Any good dealer in sea-
foods can supply either one. One
figures pint of clans per person.
They must be fresh.
The outside of the shells must be
well scrubbed. Then, in big kettle,

Bran Muffins
for Breakfast

There's too little variety in
breakfast menus, housewives
stated in recent poll conducted
by the Home Makers Guild Of
America.
Frequent serving of muffins is
one good way to provide vari-
alton in the morning meal Try
this new recipe for Molasses
Bran Mullins, which take but a
few minutes to mix and are
tasty addition to any menu.
They bake while the remainder
of the meal is being assembled.
If you're usually in a hurry at
breakfast time, mix the dry in
gradients the night before and
have them ready to add quickly
to the milk, molasses and bran
in the morning.
To make two dozen 2-inch
MOLASSES BRAN MUFFINS:
2 cups bran

erous husband is the one who had
a tightwad father who never gave
his mother a nickel without &C
companying it by TRADE about
her extravaganza.
There are exceptions to every rule
but it is only too true that children,
as general thing. do run true to
form and they treat their husbands
and wives as they have seen their
parents treat each other This is
largely because they don't know any
better. They think that it is the
proper attitude to take in dealing
with husband or wife, and they
have no conception of the cruelty
and injustice they are practicing.
If a boy has heard his father
curse his mother and speak to her
as he would not dare to speak to
any woman in his employ who could
give notice and quit if she was not
treated with common politeness, he
naturally thinks that there Is some
thing in the marriage ceremony that
gives a man the right to browbeat
his wife.
In the same way if boy has al
ways seen his father niggardly to
his mother, if he has always seen
her have to go to him for every
penny of the money she has earned
a thousand times over by her work
in the home, and heard him insult
her as he doled out the smallest
possible amount to her, he grows up
in the belief that wives are nothing
but unpaid servants and are to be
treated as such.
On the other hand, if his father
puts his mother on a pedestal, the
boy who sees him do it joins in his
worship of her and treats his wife
as if she were a queen. And the boy
who has seen his father give with
both hands to his mother is generous
to his wife when he gets one.

TIME SCHEDULE.
REQUESTS ANSWERED.


(ThunkS to A. H. g., HyuttsDille.J
In re your request for a workable
time schedule, would like to offer
a few suggestions. I also have a
seven-room house and basement, but
have three children instead of two
children and an elderly mother.
The children are months, 3 years
and years and do all my own work,
occasionally sending sheets, not
shirts, to the laundry. Here is my
changeable schedule:
Monday-Gather clothes and
wash. While first tub is running,
sweep cellar or wash breakfast
dishes. Prepare lunch, get children
to bed and rest half hour. Wash
lunch dishes and prepare simple
dessert. Clean up children and get
dinner.
Tuesday-Iron, scrub bathrooms
IN addition to daily chores.
Wednesday-Clear house, in ad-
dition to daily WORK.
Thursday-Sclub and wax kitchen
floor. Do small wash if necessary
Do marketing for a week
Friday-Do necessary mending
and monthly cleaning job. Prepare
desserts for week end.
Saturday-Clean house. I do not
see the necessity of changing chill
dren's clothes twice a day Once is
sufficient to keep them looking nice
in afternoon and at dinner. In
summer when frequent changes are
necessary. seersucker clothes save a
lot of ironing. I never iron towels
underwear or night clothes and
sometimes leave family sheets un-
ironed.
I find that cleaning house isn't
such a hard job if the scrubbing is
done on another day. Surely the
4-year-old could be trusted outdoors
by himself if disciplined for a week
or so. My 3-year-old plays out in
an unfenced yard and never goes
outside of it. The baby, of course
stays in with me, but has Gel tain
bounds. Hope some Of this will be
of some use.

wood on your piece very carefully
We do not particularly like the
dark knotholes nor do we like the
effect of one dark and then one light
board although you may. However,
If there are too many knotholes
or darker boards you won't get a
real light finish.
Next step is to completely and
thoroughly sand all surfaces that
are to be finished. Use a coarse
grade sandpaper at first and then
60 over the same place with a fine
grade. When the whole piece feels
very smooth to the hand it Is ready
to be thoroughly busted to remove
all particles of sawdust. At this
step, If there are any unsightly nail
holes countersink them and fill with
plastic wood. The piece is now
ready to be vanished.
Use a clear furniture varnish OF

with turpentine. If you have a paint

use that by all means-it makes a
very smooth job. In this case the

Dorothy Dix Says

Dear Miss Dix: All of us ap-
preciate a mothers responsibility in
preparing her sons to make good
husbands, but how can you teach
a boy how to treat a wife unless his
father helps by setting good ex-
ample? You can't say: Bobby. I
hope when you get married you will
be kind and considerate and tender
to your wife, and not treat her the
way your father treats me-"
Anyway, the young learn more
from example than from precept,
and If there were some way to coun-
teract a bad example it would be
of invaluable assistance to many
of us mothers who want to rear
our boys to be good husbands. Do
you know of any remedy for the
situation? A READER.
Answer-Alas, no. Children are
very apt to be rubber stamps of their
parents, but sometimes fathers and
mothers example is an awful warn
ing to them, instead of a pattern
that they follow. Some of the most
meticulous housekeepers that know
are the daughters of lazy slovens
whose houses looked like pigsties
and whose cooking would have
poisoned an ostrich. And many of
the wives who are the worst hus-
band-spoilers are women who were
so sorry for their poor, henpecked
| fathers that they cannot show
enough tenderness to their own
husbands.
And it is the same way with boys
The one who has seen his mother
starved for affection is often the
most loving husband. The one who
has seen his mother cringe under
his fathers abuse is often the one
who treats his own wife as if she
were a lady love instead of a
helpless slave he can kick around
And very, very often the most gen.
