to grow old? Such people, you
will find, do certain things au-

scalp about. AS simple as this
appears, it is hard to do unless
you are fortunate enough to
have a loose scalp or ears that
move easily. If they don't, Just
try to loosen them up and be-.

You can lengthen the life of your sheets by months, even years, simply by keeping a sheet chart. On it jot down each time you use a sheet which end was at the head, then re- verse the ends next time you make your bed. This procedude evently distributes wear from head, shoul- ders and hips and stretches supplies of fast dwindling bed linen.
 For other ways to eke out your precious store, now that more cot ton has gone to war than to sheets, a manufacturer gives tn efollow- ing rules to be clipped out and com- mitted to memory:
 l. To keep sheets safe from snags, check all beds for needed carpentry.
 2. To prevent abrasive action Of raw, unboxed springs of rough mat tress ticking, cover both springs and mastresS with heavy Sheeting or pad.
 3. Never yank sheet off bed. Before stripping, loosen edges all around

the wringer saves sheets from strain. Keep them out of a whipping wind when they're hung out to dry.
 5. To stave of washtub blitz- krieg, don't allow soiled hair or dirty feet to stain sheets. Don't carry briStling, arsenal of metal curriers' to bed, umess they're tied up in a turban. If you wear night cream to bed, use the greaseless kind.
 6. Vary your system of folding sheets CThe Pepperell people say that creasing sheets the same way at each ironing is one of the big causes of casualties)
 '. Rotate the sheets that you use, by putting freshly laundered ones at the bottom of he pile.
 8. Iron win moderately but iron.
 g. When sheets begin to wear thin along center, tear in half length wise, sew the Selvedge edges to- gether, join in a fiat seam and hem outside edges.
 10. To patch a threadbare spot before the break, cut ou circular section of the worn area; make four Slits at equal distance. Turn edges under so the hole is squared; back with square patch of similar mate rial (the side portions of discarded sheets are fine). See that warp and filler threads go in the same direc- tion as those of the sheet and make double rows of stitching around patch for strength.

Mental Hygiene It is also true that many if i.ot most, returning veterans are finding home life not nearly as ideal in other ways as they pictured it when home was far away
 It is time now to wonder if women haven't been ill-advised when they have been urged re- peatedly to make their letters cheerful at all costs, and to keep all worries away from their men in service.
 If for two years man sees home an. family life thorugh his smooth sailing, and completely uncomplicat<G, won't home life with it's little irritations, it's per- picking problems, it's irksome re- responsibilities, be great shock?

 MAKE LETTERS HONEST
 Wouldn't women have been better advised to make their let ters honest, rather than to make them cheerful at all costs? A wife can give an honest picture of home and what is happening there without piling worries on husband who has enough troubles of his own. This is most easily done by telling about prob- lems after they have been solved but telling of them rather than pretending that no problem exist and that life dt home is just con- tinual peace and beauty.
