Severe Illnesses
By Angelo Pafri

When a child has had a severe
illness and recovered, we must be
watchful of his health and be sure
that no pressure is brought to bear
on him to make him catch up to his
classmates, or to carry response
bility. Let him work himself into
place gradually. Don't start coach
ing him, giving him extra lessons,
extra work. Give him extra free
time instead and try to let him do
his own catching up. He will, in
time, if he is not forced.
Children who have chorea need
to feel free of duty while the trouble
lasts. Such children need to be
quiet. They need sleep, freedom
in their recreation periods. Such
children rarely benefit by drills Of
any sort as concentrated effort is
difficult for them and likely to bring
on a return of their illness. Give
such children time to recover, ther
more time, until they are SO vel
that they set to work of their oWr
accord. If they have to be pushed
you can be sure they are not ready
for work yet.
After q bout with scarlet fever
move slowly. Don't ask the teacher
to send in lessons so the child car
keep up with his class. He need
relief from study, from pressure o
any kind. Let him recuperate full,
in the open air if possible, before
he starts work again. Before taking
such child back to school, it i
wise to have the family physician

than-ever part this summer in the
fashion picture. So, to get into
stride, take few steps toward
foot care.
/. Get your feet relaxed. Plunge
them into hot and icy baths OF
water.
2. In warm weather or when your
feet feel hot and tired at the end
of tromping day, rub and massage
them with lotion which you have
chilled in the refrigerator. This is
a good thing to do also at the
start of a walking g-all-over-town'
day.
3. Dust deodorant powder over the
soles and between the toes of your
feet.
T. Once each week follow a few
simple exercises for strengthening
and relaxing the arches of the feet
Walk around the floor barefooted
Grip marbles with your toes. Pick
them up and lay them down five
or six times.
S. Dust your shoes frequently with
deodorant powder to prevent chat
ing.
g. If you're cursed (poor sole y
with callouses-switch to anothei
shoe last!
7. Use colored polish on your toes
by all means. If anything needs a
spot of color, surely it's feet. Put
cotton between your toes to prevent
smearing. Push back the .cuticle
with the help of the cuticle remover
that you use on your nails.
There are many schools of thought
on which is the best way of remov-
ing hair and fuzz from the legs.
There's the cream method, the wax,
Evening star., 1946-03-19

and the rubbing down" method.
Well give out to you with a couple
of the products which we know Of
for this purpose and you can take
your choice.
There is stonelike pad which Is
called a wonder for hair removing.
/ This you rub over and over your
/ legs in rotating motion until the
hair Is worn away. This is the dry
method of erasing.
There's a depilatory wax which
comes in ingenious little sauce
| panllke contalner. This you heat
over hot water and fame until the
wax in the pan becomes the consis-
tency of molaSses. You smooth a
/ bit of talcum powder over your leg
and then apply the warm wax with
a wooden paddle. When the wax
is dry, you can grip the edges and
pull il quickly off Needless to say,
with it comes the hair. This method,
, If you use powder, really isn't as
painful as it may sound, and rumor
has it that this method has the most
lasting hair-free results.
The cream method is slick and
quite simple. You simply slather
the cream onto your leg. Wait for
a few minutes until it soaks in and
then wash it off, along with the fuzz.
Perhaps it's magic potion, but
we're told that it does the trick
nicely and acts in a lotionlike way
on the skin of your legs, too.
! So, now your mind is way off of
nylons and we're onto cool stock
/ ingless summertime With your
legs and feet looking and feeling in
fine smoothedup condition, you're
ready to dip into a new bottle of
leg makeup and show the prettiest
legs in town. Now. why would you
cover 'em up with nylons?

There are many major :4liracles
going on in the body day in and day
out. The precision with which they
operate, without thought or volition
on our part, is more exciting than
the atomic age!
Take as an example our breath
ing apparatus. The amount of air we
breathe in and out each day is stag
gering in proportion. This air
passes through our noStrils, where
the dirt and dust are filtered out by
the hairs in our noses. AS the air
passes through our nostrils it is
warmed and purified.
From the nose and throat the air
goes on through the bronchial tubes
into the lungs. The bronchi some
what resembles a tree, turned up
side down, branching over and over
again and becoming smaller as they
move downward. The walls of these
tubes are lined with small blood
vessels. 1t is through these that
oxygen is taken into the blood
stream. We take oxygen in as we
inhale and throw off waste gases,
Cdl pOll dlOh1OC AldAIlly do VIC ChlldlC.
There is a master controller in
your brain who says, willy-nilly of
you, how much oxygen you require
When you exercise he calls for more
oxygen; when you sleep, for less
He takes care of everything after a
fashion, but there is no reason for
making his work harder by crowd
ing your lungs with poor posture
and by shallow breathing.
One of the most important by
products of exercise is the greater
oxygen intake and the speeding up
Of elimination of waste products.
Breathing exercises are always valu-
able but they have been found to
have especial significance when an
individual is underweight, nervous
or suffers from insomnia.
Here are two exercises you can
take at home. Stand tall. Raise the
arms ideways-upward as you rise
high on your toes and inhale deeply
Lower your arms sideways-down-
ward as you exhale and lower your
heels to the floor. Continue. Then
for a few inhalations, breathe in
through the nose and exhale
through the mouth.
Another: Lie on the floor with
your feet on the floor, your knees
bent and your feet fiat on the floor
Breathe in, filling your lungs with
air. After your lungs are filled, pal
the rib cage, forcing the air into
the small air pockets. Exhale. Re.
peat several times.

Give up the nylon struggle for
now. BY the time the weather gets
around to getting nippy enough for
hose next fall, the nylons will be
pouring in, more than enough for all
Clever leg makeup is the So
luton, and it'll have to do. Let's
face it, The nylon shortage can't
be licked overnight. In the first
place the knitting machinery for the
manufacturing of nylons can't be
whipped up and into place in run
ming order in just little minute.
This machinery is terrifically COM
plicated, and there isn't enough Of
it around to turn out nylons for all
of us Immediately. 1t won't be to-
morrow that they can make new
equipment, either. Priorities on the
machinery material still are in ef-
feet. Then, too, the nylon threads
require the most exacting prepara-
ton before they can be knit into
stockings. This all takes long time
when it comes to turning out mil
lions of pairs! So. there it is, and
believe us, that's only a couple of
the shoppers" to nylon manufactur-
ing at this point. Just grin and bear
1t until nylons are easier to come by.
In the meantime get to work on
those understanding" limbs of
yours. Get them smooth, de-fuzzed,
and ready for leg makeup days
which are just around the corner.
Give your feet a little care and
prettying.
Here's bit of factual information
that1l probably rock you back on
your heels. Statistics have it that
we all walk, in an average lifetime,
about as much as three times
around the world! Now that taken
from just where we stand is enough
to convince us on feet-first con-
siderations. All it takes is a little
foot care and you've got feet that
are not only lot more healthy and
happy, but whole lot more attrac-
tive to look at. And don't under
estimate the Importance of the look

PIE CRIJST
CURBING TOO-HELPFUL
GUESTS?

From Mrs. S. M, Washington.)
Up to a short time ago we had
a full-time maid. Since have been
my own cook-I have had several
groups of friends for dinner. They
always insist upon helping wash the
dishes, despite anything I can say
to the contrary.
The truth of the matter is, that
I would much rather leave the
dishes and relaX-enjoy the rest of
the evening with our friends and do
dishes alone. 1 don't mind dish
washing one bit-have them done in
no time and just put them in the
drainer and put them away next
morning. I try to explain all this
but no one believes me.
Will some of you readers please
tell me how they have overcome the
problem of keeping the guests from
washing the dishes? I don't mean
to sound ungrateful-but a pleasant
time with guests means more to me
than dashing back to the Kitchen
getting all heated up and washing
dishes. Please don't suggest paper
plates.

COFFEE GROUNDS IN DRAIN:
PRESSING HINT.
From Mrs. M. N. L., Washington. y
I believe that Mrs. j. S. C. will
find that a few coffee grounds down
the drain in her sink will prove
very beneficial. My procedure is to
give the coffee container from my
percolator one shake into what
ever I am using for the disposal
of garbage, then let the grounds
which are left clinging to the sides
of the container, 60 down the
drain. In over 20 years of house.
keeping 1 have had almost no sink
trouble.
I wonder if most of the readers
know that a wet newspaper and a
hot iron are ideal for pressing wool
clothes particularly for the crease
in mems trousers. Have no fear of
the print coming off on the cloth
it won't, not even on white f1annels.
From Mrs. J. G. Co., Arlington.)
Putting coffee grounds down
kitchen sinks has been one of those
little tricks" handed down through
out our family for years. My grand
mother was told by a plumber ia
do it. None of my aunts, nor my
mother, nor my sister, nor I have
ever had a clogged sink.
From Mrs. N. J. S., Washington }
I find coffee grounds very helpful
for the sink, but they will not clear
out already hardened grease, which
has choked the sink. Start usine
grounds when the drain is entirely
clear.

WASTE NOT, WANT NOT.
From Mrs. r. S. B., Washington. J
Replying to your request for sug-
gestions on conserving food, I would
like to suggest my idea to your read
ers. Put all leftover vegetables
vegetable water and meat gravies in
one of your ice cube trays and
freeze-keep adding every day
when the pan is full make pot OF
soup.
If you make too much soup or
stew, freeze what is left instead of
making the family eat it the next
day, next week it will taste better
When I see extra nice chops, steak
or chicken, at the store I buy it and
freeze it. Maybe the next time 60
there won't be any. Christmas our
turkey was so big we would have had
to eat it until we were "blue in the
face" SO I cut a lot of slices, put
them in the tray and froze them
Late in January we had turkey la
king and sliced turkey and it tasted
wonderful!
So my advice is, anything left
over, freeze. sister, freeze! Next week
when you are late coming from the
bridge club it will come in handy!
