found, but not much.

WhyGrow
Old?
Rv Josebhiue L0,vman

0y JOSepH'Ue AOtO"""
For a long time now why Grow
Old?" has been recommending the
habit of making lists in order to
simplify life. Such organization,
one which places reasonable
number of chores to be done in each
day, seems to take the pressure of
busy lives.
There is another list which I
think might be useful to reducers.
They receive so much advice, and
calorie counting is irksome to some
of them! The list I am, thinking
of will be made UP of things to leave
off during a reducing period. This
list simplifies the problem Of reduc-
ing.
/. Leave off all fried foods. Boil,
bake or broil.
2. Forget desserts for the reduc-
ing period. Eat fresh fruit instead.
8. Leave off nuts, cream and
candy.
4. Forget fats such as butter. fat
seasoning, fat meat, gravy, salad
dressings and oils. If you use any
at all make 10 light" and measure
carefully.
S. Leave the cream off milk.
Drink SKINNED milk or buttermilk.
6. Control bread intake.
Here come a few other rules
which will help you. Distribute
your daily calories in any way which
makes you most comfortable. If you
prefer dividing your menus into
five snacks rather than three full
meals, do so. For instance. you may
wish to drink a glass of milk, eat an
orange or an apple or take your
fruit Juice between meals or before
retiring. This is good idea be-
cause 1t sidesteps that hollow feel
ing"
If you are going to try to reduce
with these rules rather than with
strict calorie counting. be sure to
get up from the table feeling as
though you could enjoy a little
more. Never feel stuffed! /

method of strict calorie counting.

ANSWER TO A PLEA voiced by
people who, for many years. were
used to using the wall dispenser
that held a bottle of famous hand
lotion. The dispenser releases just
the proper amount of lotion for an
application to both hands. The con-
venience of the dispenser, the time
saved uncapping, pouring and re-
Gaping the bottle is obvious. But
sad to relate many thousands OF
people we're forced to go without
this added convenience in the
kitchen and in the bathroom be-
cause during the war it was i'm
possible to manufacture it. So it's
pleasure to be able to tell you
that the world-famous hand balm
may now be bought along with its
dispenser as well as in bottles.

IFLUFF1NG OSTRICH FEATHERS,
HELPFUL HINTS.
from L. A. S., Alexandra. J

fFfOm l.. A. 81, AteJdndTM.J
Hang the feathers or put them
In a vase over a hot radiator. Years
ago can recall seeing my mother
putting ostrich feathers on a paper
and then into the oven Of the VOID
stove which would not be hot, but
warm. With gas oven one would
have to have it set at a very low
temperature.
Incidentally, this process curls
the plumes of broom sage beauti-
fully. Broom sage plumes are easily
tinted by putting them In q bag
with powdered colored chalk and
shaking the bag vigorously. A vase
of these plumes Is quite attractive
in place of floral bouquets during
the winter months.
How to remove white moisture
stains or rings from furniture: Get
small bottle of spirits of camphor
from a drug store. Rub furniture
with q soft cloth dipped into the
spirits of camphor. 1t does not re-
move any of the varnish or gloss of
| the surface.
How to wash between radiator
sections: Use the dish-washing
mops which have a wooden handle
about 10 inches long.
For painting papered walls: Flat
oil paint is somewhat cheaper than
the cold-water paints. The fiat oil
paint does not loosen the paper,
and is also more washable than the
so-caled cold-water paints.
