Things That
Interest Women
By BESSIE F. BELL
HOW DO YOU LOOK?

Beauty is more than skin deep.
"It's in the vitamins," and if one
is in good health, one can be as
beautiful as one likes. If you will
take the time and care, and keep
a watchful eye on your diet, the
kind of food you eat, what how,
and when you eat it, then nothing
on earth can stop you short of a
perfect specimen of beauty.
Do you want a beautiful COM
plexion +? Pretty finger nails? Love-
ly hair? Sparkling eyes? White
teeth? Firm skin? Elasticity of
the muscles :? Color in yocr cheeks?
A velvety skin? Clean healthy
blood? In word, do you want to
be beautiful? Just eat vitamins.
All too often we think only of
vitamin &C" as the one big beau
ty-giving vitamin. There are many,
others that are just as important.
To name only few, we have vita
Minis "a, B, C, d, and g." And oh
yes, we even have H and P, but
these two we almost never hear a.
bout nevertheless they are there
and very important they are.
In the next few weeks we will
take up the different vitamins and
what they can do for our looks, or
what the lack Of them will do to
our looks. Just remember girls, if
you are minus vitamins, you are
most certainly minus beauty and
charm.

800 Girl Scouts
I'm Greater
Jackson Area

There are approximately 800
Negro Girl Scouts in the Greater
jackson Area.
The Brownies seven TO ten years
old center their activities about the
home. Through membership in
Brownie Troop, the girls learn by
doing the things around home that
they can perform. A Brownie is
expected to keep her own things
picked up, to make up her bed, to
obey her parents promptly, to help
Mother cheerfully, to feed her pets,
to eat that which is put before her
and to go to bed promptly all with
out quarrelling. With these activi-
ties on which to center her inter-
est parents of Brownies have been
lavish in their praise Of the
Brownie Scout Program.
For the intermediate Girl Scout
1914 years of age helpfulness to
others may be broader than her
younger sister. She is expected to
continue her home duties cheerful
ly and add outside activities. Each
troop selects a Service Project and
works at it during the year For the
past few years Girl Scouts have
been interested in CLOTHES For
Friendship" The Jackson Girl
Scouts agreed to send overseas 200
bundles of clothing for children. In
addition to this activity the In
termediate troops have helped
needy families with food and cloth
ing. They have entertained for the
women at the Old Ladies Home.
They have collected towels and
magazines for the Charity Hospi-
tai. They made hundreds of Christ
mas menu covers for the V. A.
Hospital.
Girl Scouts are taught through
their troop activities that service
to others is the foundation upon
which happy lives are made. Girl
Scouting today contributes to finer
homes and happier families tomor-
row.
Girl Scouting is made possible
for the girls of jackson through
the Community Chest.
