vestigation proved that since an
eient times Bulgarians have eaten
. form Of milk known ~ yogurt
with all three meals.
As long n 5000 years ago people
were eating some form Of this. Some
called it yoghourth or yosourt. In
ancient India 1t was known as
dadhi and In the Balkans It was
sometimes called kiaselo mieko. Yo-
gurt contains large amounts Of
Tactic acid bacteria. These organ
isms and the Tactic acid produced by
them create . favorable soil for the
growth Of friendly bacteria in the
intestinal tract.
This sort of milk can often be
eaten when regular milk cannot be
digested. It gives you tho same
food values and is helpful in over

indigestion, and many other phys

For many years man has been
searching for the reasons behind
aging. Many eminent authorities
have felt that aging Is = disease
rather than . necessity and b due
to slow self poisoning.
We would have to look through 4
microscope in order to see the myr-
lad bacteria which play such an TN
portant part IN our lives and in our
health. In our intestinal tract, for
instance, live some bacteria that are
friendly to US and others which are
unfriendly.
Some years ago Ilya Metchnikof1 =,
the famous Russian biologist, Nobel
prize winner and director Of the
Pasteur Institute In Paris, became
interested in the fact that the peo-
pie who lived in the Balkans had
vibrant health and lived to very old
ages. Many Of them were 100 years
old and the average life span In
those regions is 81. Metchnikod

SantaS of Distinction
By Betty Miles

SANTA CLAUS-A largs department store
is accepting applications for Santa Claus.
f0u.:s In Upper Ssid Ney Yosk
references desired in reply.
In the strange way In which
things happen, the above ad appears
in today's paper because Mr..
Charles w. Howard was once a toy
manufacturer. For years he went
around to stores marketing his toys
at Christmas, and for years he
became more and more upset at the
Santa Clauses he saw. They had
no true Christmas spirit; they had
no warmth. They knew very little
about toys and nothing about chill
dren. Mr.. Howard felt 1t was a
disgrace, and decided something
should be done about it.
So he tried his hand at being
a Santa Claus worthy of the name
himself. He read Santa Claus lore,
and conceived his picture of the
|way Santa should really be. Mr..
Howard was a most successful Santa.
He was so successful that he couldn t
fill all Of the requests for his serv-
ices, and he opened a Santa Claus
School to train men who could.
To this school this month will
60 two as yet unsolicited men from
q Washington department store that
is looking for q distinguished Santa
for both its downtown store and
its large Silver Spring branch. The
store will pay the travelling ex-
penses Of the Santas to Mr.. How.
ards Albion, N. Y, home, and will.
pay for their courses and subsist.
ence when they get there.
This is the third year the schoo
has been In existence and in three
one-week periods this year about
100 Santa Clauses will be trained
Eighteen lectures to be given ir
the course of the week are designed
to completely inform every Santa
Claus on every phase Of his work
Each man will learn the origin anc
history Of Santa, the approach tt
the child, the approach to the par.
ent, and the science Of Santa Clau,
mechanics" The latter will helr
him, among other things to lift {
child to his knee with the affection
and skill that any Santa worth hi.
salt should be able to muster. Each
Santa will leave the school equipped
with many Christmas stories ready
for the telling.
Furthermore, Santa will know
about the education and play value
Of toys, and he'll know how toys
are made. He'll know something
about children's clothes. And he'll
know, too, how to scale the young
ster's desires down to the size OF
the family purse. Mr.. Howard'l

Fabric
News

Waverly Fabrics new color
coded Fabriganza group will be
unveiled" Monday and Tuesday,
October II and IL at one Of the
large downtown stores. Miss Dor
othy McCabe, stylist and one Of
the creators Of the Fabriganza
fabrics, will lecture each Of these
days at 2::3o pm. in the drapery
department. Monday, she will
explain the use Of fabrics with
carpets and rugs, and on Tues
day her subject will be based on
help for problem windows.
The new fabric family" was
created to take away the prob
lems Of color harmony in dec
Grating plans. All OF the fabrics
are coded with letters Of the
alphabet, each letter standing for
Q different color. Thus, any fab
nc marked with "a" will 60 with
any other fabric in the group
similarly marked. There are let
ters from "A" to "R" In the code.
Having 81 variations for each Of
the IA prints provides q possible
430-some combinations! Fabrics
needed In every room Of q house
are available, including damasks,
glosheen, atlas cloth, bombay
cloth and spartan cloth.
Here Is q sample Of how the
code works. There are two sister
Prints, "Picardy" and "Picardy
etrtpe" on glosheen. The latter
A the important sister, having .
lovely flowing quality Of q striped
multicolored bouquet. The same
flowers are used in "Picardy," but
they are arranged as an overall
cluster, rather than stripe. The
backgrounds Of these prints are
color coded to match plain colors
and interesting weaves.
This new idea in fabric CO.
ordination should certainly prove
interesting and q big help to the
average homemaker.

Nurses Aide
Classes

A new daytime Red Cross
nurses aide class to train vol
unteer workers for service in
Mount Alto Veterans Hospital,
will l.open on Wednesday, Octo-
ber 13, according to Mrs. Ernest
Markwalter, chairman Of the
District Red Cross Nurses Aide
Service.
Mrs. Markwalter said that the
class, which is still open for reg
istration, will be taught at
Walsh House, 2020 Massachu-
sets avenue.
The classes will be held from
8 am. to 2 pm. on Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays.
Those interested in working
as nurses aides at Mount Alto
should call the Nurses Aide
Service, Republic $500. Exten-
sion 371, for further informa-
ton.
This is not only the first Red
Cross nurses aide class Of the
fall season, but the first nurses
aide class trained for service at
the Mount Alto Veterans Hos
pital since the war, Mrs. Mark
walter said.
The nurses aides-who are
required to sign for a minimum
of $50 hours of service a year
work directly with the hospital
lied veterans under the super
vision Of the hospitals profess
sional staff. They are required
to take IS hours of classroom
instruction, given by a regis
tered nurse, and then serve IS
hours under the hospitals pro-
fessional staff, before they be-
come full-fledged nurses aides.

The Santa who will be hired will

Beauty
Notes
Or q Scorf,

Songs have been written about
names. Sonnets about bonnets have
been done. too. But now q world
famous perfume has inspired the
new ballet being produced this sea-
son by the Ballet Russo de Monte
Carlo. The Quelques Fleurs bal
let which had its world premiere
at the Metropolitan Opera House on
September 10, helps portray some
thing that perfume makers have
tried to explain TO women through
out the ages. The ballet is said to
explore the magic of perfume and
what 1t can DO to accomplish the
purpose OF q determined woman. A
pretty powerful subject. II you
ask US.
The story behind the ballet is that
in 1947 sergei Denham, director Of
the Ballet Russo de Monte Carlo,
met Pierre Harang, who represents
a leading perfume house here in the
States. During the war years Mr..
Denham was unable to get his wife's
favorite fragrance for her. He
wanted to know why and asked Mr..
Harang.. The explanation that fol-
lowed gave him an idea. Upon
checking on q few things, Mr.. Den
ham hit upon the original idea OF
using the power Of perfume and
flowers as the subject matter for q
ballet production.
Discussions and demonstrations OF
diverse problems IN the beauty In
dustry will occupy the time Of Q
great many Washington beauticians
who will attend the 18th annual
Washington Beauty and Style Show,
to be held on October 10 and II at
the Wardman Park Hotel. Miss
Marguerite E. Buck, well-known hair
stylist, will be mistress OF ceremonies.
A hair trend to watch for, accord
ing to Miss Buck, is the newer short
haircut that is easily changed from
the casual soft, brushed-out look to
a more sophisticated satiny cap.
Bangs are also another hair note for
fall that beauty operators will be
featuring more and more.
Not too long ago we wrote about
a line Of cosmetics that had been
compounded from the imperial
formula Of the former royal house
Of Russia. We received so much re-
sponse that we think 1t would be
of interest to the many women
who became acquainted with the
line to know that their nourishing
cream has gone on sale at price
that should be interesting to all
women who use a night cream. You
apply it after cleansing and allow a
thin film to remain.
n II II II
We got a shock the other day.
While going through the cosmetic
of a leading F street
store we glanced at some SOAPS.
Good soaps usually cost quite few
shekels. But curiosity Is q great
thing with us and we stopped to
inquire about a couple Of boxes that
looked especially appealing. First
of all we were intrigued with the
colors. A man will probably laugh
at that. But women are funny-they
think In terms Of color schemes. Six
fragrances-pine, gardenia, geran-
ium, bouquet, carnation, and lilac
are available in colors that are as
near as possible to the flower after
which the soap is named. The house
that manufactures these soaps has
been in business for over 100 years
Their prices were recently lowered
and If you are thinking Of stocking
up on soap for your bathroom you'll
enjoy using both the face and tub
size Of these quality soaps that are
priced 30 very nicely.

To keep . 9-month-old baby COW
cred, put . light, large wool sweater
over the baby's pajamas and cover

baby goes to sleep, tuck blanket
crosswise under the mattress. This
will be light, warm and give the

his arms can stay out Of the cover,
since the sweater will keep them
warm enough.
