QUESTIONS and ANSWERS

 One friend says 5000 units of vitamin D in capsule, four times a day is beneficial for rheumatism or almost any chronic sickness. Other friend says such massive doses are injurious to liver and kidneys. (Mrs. L. J.) Answer--1 doubt that POO, 900 units a day over a period of three to six months, ever does any harm. On the other hand, I have come to believe that merely an optimal nutritional amount of vitamin D daily, of course combined with cal- cium, will give as much relief in various complaints called chronic 1 rheumatism as massive doses of vitamin D alone can give. for pamphlet Calcium and Rheu- matiz" send stamped self addressed envelope.

What do you advise? 1 (M. H. E.) Answer-The difference in age is immaterial. Any physical weakness or defect left by infantile paralysis would have no bearing on the ques- tion of fitness for marriage and parenthood.

We, the Women
There s Need for Etiquet tn Shopping

l blue or the pink while a line of tired shoppers forms behind.
 All the questions that should have occurred to them before they started out to buy an article never seem to pop into their minds un- til they get clerks attention.
 An the more crowded the stores, the worse women shoppers seem to act. It is almost as though they were saying, T waited long time to get someone to wait on me and now am going to hang on as long as possible"
 THEY WANT TO LOOK
 An then there is that habit wo- men have of never being able to take the first thing they see-even though 1t exactly fills the bill. Have you anything else?" they ask hopefully, even after they have been shown the very thing they came in to buy.
 And even when--as so often hap pens nowhere is no choice, they can't simply say "Yes, I'll take it. or No, 1t won't do." They have to discuss the matter-while the line behind them grows longer and longer.
 Yes, sombody ought to teach wo- men how to shop.

BEAUTIES HINTS Disguise Blemish
 With Foundation
By ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

Even the best planned beauty care won't prevent an occasional bump from cropping up to spoil the smooth surface of your skin. Some times 1t is caused by too many sweets; other times bodily func- tions are slightly upset - in any event, 1t is mighty discouraging when the pesky thing blossoms forth just before an important date.
 But your misery will be less if you learn the art of camoufage and to keep a jar of heavy foundation cream handy to mask the spot for the evening. Before you go to bed, remove your makeup thoroughly and dab bit of healing medicated cream over the area.
 After it has healed, slight dis coloration often fingers as an un- pleasant reminder of your trouble. But brisk batting of the area will stimulate the circulation and help banish tn: condition.

 DEAR MARY HAwoRTH: have been married nearly five years and my husband returned from overeas with his discharse in Au- gust. We had been married i've months at the time he was drafted. He was in training for one year in the states. and was in the European theaier for more than two years.
 Since he has been home. I notice quite a change in him. He is 70 loud and smaTtaleck-a He swears horribly at everything and when we play cards he is some times a poor loser. He goes to burlesque shows and buys lots Of those lurld cartoon books of scan- tily dressed pin-up girls.
 He says things that enbarraSS me before my friends. things that really hurt at times. When he is around other girls, he is touching them, taking hold of their arm, putting his hand on their shoulder. etc. don't think am Jealous but this oAstresSes me. We live in a small town and l guess I'm just not used to this sort Of thing.
 My husband is 2T and am 23. I feel that I am a good wife and love him very much. I am sure that he loves me, too, but he gets very angry if object to anything he does, and says he will not be bossed by anybody. l don't wish to boss him, in any way. would just like to feel free to tell him if something worries me; but nowa- days have to watch myself con- stantly to keep from irritating him.
 I wonder if other veterans wives are having this trouble? And I wonder If am overly sensitive about these things? Is there any way I can discourage these new tendencies of his? Or are all men just naturally like thatP His father is dead and he talks terribly to his mother at times. Perhaps these little things are not important now but am afraid they might become worse. I will appreciate any advice you can give me. E. N.
 MAN DOES NOT
 KNOW THE SCORE
 DEAR E. N.: As we say in the vernacular, your husband has lost track of the score. He doesn't know what time of day it is. Although he has been out of the Army and out of uniform for months, he is still playing up to the hilt one of the more lurid versions of a hardbitten fighting man, American style. A version, I might add, which is a sad, far cry from the heroic, great soldier type exemplified by General Dwight D. Eisenhower on home soil, whose behavior is the essence of personal modesty, fine restraint and

While in China, he and his com- panionS made some duplicate boards and kept up their interest in tour nament play. When Eichman made & grand slam on this hand, he mailed 1t to his wife. The war was not yet over at the time he mailed it, and the Army censor was evil dently a bridge player. He did not delete anything, but he made notation on the hand that, in his opinion, the last two bids of Eich- man and his partner were overbids.
 Eichman won the opening lead with the ace of spades and ruffed a spade in dummy. A trump re- turn was won with the ace and Eichman ruffed his last spade, West discarding low club.

 something he had lost. But it was gone.
 The abiding change that had come upon him since the Phantom's re- appearance, was, that now he truly felt how much he had lost. He was conscious that, as he redeem, through Milly, more and more of the evil he had done, this change ripened within him. There fore, he felt that he was quite de- pendent upon her, and that she was his staff in his affliction.
 So, when she asked him whether they should go home now to where the old man and her husband were, and he readily replied ''yes"-be- ing anxious in that regard-he put his arm through hers, and walked beside her; not as if he were the wise and learned man to whom the wonders of nature were an open book, and hers were the unin- structed mind, but as If their two positions were reversed. and he Thew nothing. and she all.
