TIME and again l have stressed
the need for a well-balanced diet,
one which includes all the vitamins,
minerals, protein and other food
parts necessary for health. Today
l want to show what happens when
just one of these essential sub
stances-Vitamin B-1 or thiamine
is lacking.
The presence of this vitamin Is
necessary among other things for
the health Of the nerves. Too little
of it over long period of time will
result in a condition which begins
with loss of sensation in the feet,
and ends, if not remedied, with pa
ralysis of both arms and legs.
Lack of Feeling
The patient usually consults the
doctor because of numbness or lack
of feeling in the feet. He finds that
he can no longer detect either heat,
cold, or touch. Gradually. the same
thing occurs in the legs, and later
the arms may be involved, also.
This disorder is most likely to
occur during the child-bearing time
and during the course of long, vast
ing diseases which are associated
with poor eating. 1t may also de-
velop as a result of disturbances Of
the taking up and using of the food
parts by the body, as in diabetes,
and is often a part of the penalty
paid by those who follow fadist
diets.
Response to Treatment
Diagnosis Of this disturbance is
made on the basis of the patients
history and on the signs and symp-
toms, as well as on the response to
treatment. In other words, If the
patient is given vitamins, particu-
larly Vitamin B-1, in adequate
amounts and the symptoms clear
up, it is likely that the disorder was
due to a deficiency of the thiamine.
This disturbance of the nerves is
called nutritional polyneuropathy,

SOMETIMES I wonder how
many who read my column are dis
eouraged or depressed by what l
write. I really try to be sympathetic
and helpful to my fellow parents.
But, no doubt, sometimes, una
wares, say things that worry my
readers causing them to condemn
themselves and feel very inferior.
1t may encourage some of you
somewhat that 1 have often felt
rather "blue" myself while calling
TO mind many of my own faults and
shortcomings as parent or grand
parent. Many of the things / have
condemned in others I have discov-
cred to exist, to some degree at least,
in myself. Doubtless most of those
which I have not so discovered have
been lurking in me somewhere.

When I see what I, as father or
grandfather, should have been and

Cranberry
Recipes
By ALICE OENHOFF

WHILE some wise folk 60 in for
cranberry juice, and cranberry
jellied sauce the year round, other
folks just won't think in terms Of
the rosy, health-rich cranberry un-
til autumn. So here we are with an
interesting group Of recipes that
owe much of their goodness and in
teresting flavor to the cranberry.
In one famous New England res
taurant there is a call for Cranberry
Shrub the year around. Prepare this
wonderful drink as thirst quench-
er or as a first course, and you'll
know why! To make 4-6 tall glasses
.(depending on size Of glass; mix
thoroughly one pint of cranberry
juice cocktail, u c. lemon juice, one
{. orange juice and one c. syrup
from any sweet picked or spiced
fruit preserve such as spiced water
melon, peaches, etc.
For Breakfast
For simply scrumptious break
fast tidbit place bread slices under
hroiler and toast one side, then but
ter the other side. Spread with jel-
lied cranberry sauce. Cover with
sliced bananas. Sprinkle with brown
sugar and small amount of CHINA
mon. Broil slowly until bananas are
. light brown and the cranberry
sauce is bubbling. The aroma alone
will bring the most tardy to table
fast.
Cranberry and avocado get to-
gether for delightful and different
salad. To serve 4, cut 2 medium
sized avocados in halves, lengthwise,
removing the stone, then peel. Sprin-
kle with salt and lemon juice to
prevent darkening and also to add
to flavor. Mix y C. orange sections
cut in halves and balls or cubes cut
from about one C. jellied cranberry
sauce; pile into avocado halves that
have been placed on nests of lettuce
or watercress on individual salad
plates. Pour French dressing over
all just before serving.
For a tangy relish crush 17-oz.
can jellied cranberry sauce with
fork. Drain Number 2 can crushed
pineapple and mix with grated rind
Of 2 oranges and the cranberry
sauce. Place in refrigerator about
one hour to ripen. Makes about 3 c.
relish. Or, for something super
duper mix 17-oz. can jellied cram
berry sauce. 2 tbsp. chopped candied
ginger and 2 tbsp. orange rind cut
in thin strips. Allow to stand an
hour before serving. Makes about
IN c. relish. More interesting cram
berry recipes very soon!

Choosing the
Right Powder
By HELEN FOLLETT

HOW can a woman know just
what exact and precise shade of
powder she should use? The cos.
metic bar seems to be the answer.
There are innumerable offerings in
glass containers. If a becoming tone
cannot be found, then a special
prescription" formula is blended.
Blondes, especially, must find
glamorous calcimine for their deli
cate fair skins. There are light
blondes, the Observation-Disclosures,
and the dark.
Fair Complexion
The extremely fair blondes COM
plexion may have a luminous, semi
transparent appearance. Then the
attendant at the cosmetic bar adds
suggestion of violet powder to the
creamy one that is usually used by
this type. A light wild rose shade
of rouge is recommended if there is
no natural coloring. The lipstick
must be darker, but of Larmoni-
Gus color.
The dark blonde does well by her
self if she finds pinky-pink powder
that carries slight golden cast; it
does something to the lights in her
hair. She can use a darker rouge
and lipstick than the fair type. The
skin should not only carry the dull
finish, but it should look creamy,
gardenia-like.
Rose Tone
The true blonde has haitRf shin
ing, golden tint. Her skin Elbows
rose tone on the cheeks: her lips
need little pigment, as they are usu-
ally deep red.
When you have chosen the right
shade of powder, nice trick is to
blend it with a brush.
So interested have women become
in receiving specialized service in
the selection Of every item of make
up that the cosmetic bar has become
pretty much of an institution in al
most every large department store
in the country. The attendants in
charge know their line, have much
to offer in the way Of interesting
and useful information.

which means an abnormal condition
Of q group Of nerves due to q def
cient diet. The disorder develops
only after a prolonged period on a
diet lacking in thiamine.
The nervous disturbance is rarely
the first sign Of the deficiency. The
earlier signs and symptoms include
loss Of appetite, loss of weight, con-
stipation and diarrhea, depression,
restlessness, and headaches.
Deficient in Others
When the diet is lacking in one
food part, it is often deficient in
others. Hence in these patients.
there also may be symptoms Of def
cheney Of niacin and ribofiavin,
which are other parts Of the vita
min B-complex.
The earliest evidence Of involve
ment Of the nerves due to dietary
deficiency are cramps in the calves,
tiredness Of the legs, and a burning
sensation in the feet, as we'll as ten
derness Of the soles Of the feet.
In treating the disorder, it is nec-
essary to supply the thiamine in
liberal amounts, as well as to give
the patient 4 well-balanced diet.
The diet should contain plenty Of
protein foods, such as meat, milk,
and eggs. It is also suggested that
Brewers yeast be given three times
daily. A tablet or capsule contain
ing a mixture of all the known nec-
essary vitamins may also be admin
istered. If the patient cannot take
the preparation by mouth, it may
be necessary to inject it under the
skin.

Our Eating Habits
Have our eating habits changed
this past year? Yes, they have, and
as you may guess, this change is
from the higher cost foods to those
more reasonable in price. This year
we are eating more fresh and frozen
fish, and less meat, turkey and
chicken. We are buying more evap-
grated milk and margarine-less
cream, butter and salad oils. We are
buying more canned fruits and
juices, and less ice cream. Unfor-
tunately, we are using less fresh
fruit and vegetables, because of
high prices-a condition that can
only be Offset by purchasing the
most plentiful varieties and making
them tasty.
We are buying what we can afford
and our choice is more and more
limited by the high cost Of eating.
But if we balance our meals, pre-
pare foods to save full nutritive
values and make them really good
eating" we can still be q well fed

Care Of
AVucUtn
Cleaner
By ELEANOR ROSS

ONE Of our friends has been US.
ing the same old vacuum for many
years and it is in such good shape,
does such good job that, instead Of
treating herself to a new one and
passing the old one on, she did Just
the reverse.
Another housewife we know, is
always rushing over to borrow 4
vacuum, although her equipment in.
cludes q new beauty. No reflection
on the vacuum of course. 1t is Just
that one homemaker is an expert at
taking care of her household equip
ment, while the other lady lust
doesn't give a hoot about its upkeep.
She just works it until something
goes wrong, and Of course, it does.
Constant Care
To keep . vacuum in perfect
working order, there are three parts
that need special attention. These
are the bag belt and brush. With
few exceptions, all vacuum cleaners
have at least two of these parts and
they require constant care.
The most obvious of these is the
bag, for it is here that the dirt-filled
air is filtered, and clean air escapes,
leaving the dirt and dust. To handle
this filtering process, the bag is
made Of poroes material. So long
as the pores are kept dirt-free, the
air is permitted free passage and
the machine works at best efficiency.
When, however, dirt cogs the tiny
openings in the fabric the air flow is
checked, and efficiency is impaired.
Just the usual emptying Of the bag
is not enough. The sides should be
well rubbed together to loosen the
dust and the bag should be brushed
with stiff brush.
Checked for Tears
The vacuum bag should be
checked for tears or rips. Small
holes can be tackled with iron-on
tape, but, since this is not porous, it
should be used sparingly. Replacing
the bag as soon US it shows real
signs of wear is a good investment.
Or, if your machine is the type, lay
in supply of those paper filter bags
to be used in conjunction with spe-
cially-designed bag.
Clean the brush often, but detach
it from the machine. The dirt coll
lected on brush can be transferred
right back to the rug. So if the ma
chine is an agitator-brush type
model, remove the agitator and
clean the brush with cloth damp
ened with a drop of carbon tetra-
chloride. The tufts Of the brush
should be about u of an 2ilth above
the rug pile. A fifty-cent piece will
determine the measure. If much
further from the pile, the brush is
worn and should be replaced.
Replace in Year
The belt, a small but vital part Of
the vacuum cleaner, gives good serv-
ice for about year, and should then
be replaced. Our careless home
maker thought she would be smart
and substituted a rubber ring for
her vacuum cleaner belt, and then
only after the real belt had stretched
and slipped.
Modern vacuum cleaners do not
require fabrication, but some of the
older models in use do require three
drops of oil. If too much oil is used,
the motor may smoke. Go over the
fan, remove any objects that may
have collected there, for it is fa-
vorite roosting place for threads,
hairpins and such.
All these are but small chores but
they tend to keep that most useful
of household cleaning equipment at
top efficiency.

No matter what foods you buy,
whether luxurious high cost items
or more commonplace everyday
foods, they will taste good only if
well-prepared and correctly cooked.
Good cooking means conserving
natural favors, preserving food
values and presenting an attractive
dish. Compared to poorly cooked
costly foods, the most inexpensive
foods, when properly cooked, are
luxurious. For instance, dainty az
minute" cooked cabbage compared
to drowned, overlooked cauliflower; 2;
Swiss steak compared to over
broiled Porterhouse.
