VITALITY FOR BEAUTY

A half dead beauty is only half
beautiful. One needs be one hum
bred per cent vital to be wholly
beautiful. The sparkling eye, the
rosy cheek, the ruddy lip, the
full, free stride of abundant life
gives the full note of beauty to
womanhood. See that the blood
is rich and flowing swiftly through
the veins made so by correct
foods, fresh air, rest, sleep and
exercise, if you would be wholly
vital; wholly beautiful.

Yitamin C in Citrus

Fullest nutritive value is obtained
when orange and grapefruit is
served in whole sections. for in ex
tracing juice a considerable amount
Of pulp and juice are left in the
rind. Vitamin C can be saved in
juice, however. by making sure all
the pulp is out Of the rind and then
serving the juice without straining
it.
A rich source Of vitamin c is the
rind Of citrus fruits. The dried or
candied product is commonly en-
joyed for its flavor, but the vitamin
has been destroyed. Citrus rind can
be made more palatable by remov-
ing the white membrane, then serv-
ing it grated or thinly sliced In
sauces, spreads, desserts, cookies
or quick breads.
At least one vitamin erich food
daily is the suggestion on the Basic
Seven, the wartime nutrition guide.
This vitamin is not stored in the
body. and its daily inclusion makes
healthy gums and teeth and helps
one to avoid that tired feeling. When
eaten in large amounts, raw or
carefully cooked, a wide variety Of
fruits and vegetables are reported
to be fair sources of vitamin c. Best
substitutes for citrus fruits are to-
matoes, raw carrots, cabbage, and
green vegetables. Even the potato
can be included in the list if it is
baked or boiled with the jacket on.

ShOrt-SnOrters


The Short-Snorters club originally
was composed of people who had
flown over an ocean and then OBJ
tanned signatures of two short-snort-
ers on a dollar bill, which became
that persons certificate Of member
ship in the exclusive but informal
organization. Since the war began,
however, thousands have been flown
across oceans and been admitted to
the Short-SnorterS and today thou
sands of others who have flown only
over land consider themselves short
snorters and will produce creden-
tails to prove it.
Many short-snorters enthusiastic
cally collect signatures from all
fellow-passengers on trips and all
brother-members at bars and when
one bill is covered paste new one,
possibly from another country, to
the original membership bill. High

Kurnel for Colonel
The inclusion of the "r'' sound in
the word colonel" which is pro-
nounced as though it were spelled
''kurnel," is a holdover from the
sixteenth century, when the word
was spelled "coroner' and pro-
nounced 'kur-o-nel." This later was
shortened to "kurn-el."
The word is related to the Italian
"colonello" which means a little col
umn and the English spelling was
changed gradually during the seven
teenth century to more nearly con-
form with the original. The colonel
was so called because he led the lit
tie column or company at the head
of the regiment.

Twenty years brought the fixed plat

was the power tractor and trailer
