FINISHING OAK;
JUICING VEGETABLES.
From C.. r.. Arlinoton.) J

IOHC ~. &b.S $A' et'sSSS'o'
read your column daily and
have availed myself of many sug-
gestions printed therein. I Won
der If some one has had the ex-
perience of finishing unpainted
pieces of furniture in lined oak
or blind oak? I would appreciate
instructions for finishing two
chests of drawers.
I would also like to ask If any
one knows what kind of electric
machine I can use to convert raw
vegetables and raw fruits into
pure juice. There are so-called
blenders on the market but they
are not suited for this purpose.
I know that there is such a ma
chine but have been unable to
locate one in or around Washing
ton.
OIL PAINTING.
From Mrs. A. H. A. ,WashingtonJ
For D. w., Washington: In re
your request as to information
regarding lessons in oil painting.
The YWCA has day and eve
ming classes for beginners. They
have pamphlets which will give
you the schedules and information
regarding classes, will be gladly
furnished you by the personnel at
the YWCA. The contact with
other people in the class is very
helpful and stimulating.
LIVING ABROAD.
(Fron1 E. A., WnshingtonJ
To R. D. c., Fairfax. I think
Mrs. R. D. c. is giving too much
Importance to the welfare of her
little girl, and this is not surpris-
ing in considering the state of
Europe in general. I was in Paris
in the very early part of last year,
but no one must Judge the south
of France or, indeed, agricultural
France from what goes on in
Paris. Food there is at premium
and everything is openly "black
market" I travelled then to Nor
mandy where the picture is en-
tirely different, not that there is
any surplus of food and by Ameri-
can standards it might be counted
scarcity, but it is sufficient and
well and carefully cooked. AS you
say your little girl is healthy, I
do not think you should have any
qualms about leaving at once. No,
she will not be able to be seen by
pediatrician, any European doc
tor, to whom you brought a per-
fectly healthy child would be an
noyed at having his time wasted,
and think you slightly neurotic
for spending unnecessary money.
But if the child were i'll, then you
would get the best and kindest
attention in the world. She is
likely to bloom wonderfully in the
lovely sunshine Of Southern
France and her diet will be much
more beneficial. actually. than the
one she now has. No ice cream or
iced drinks, which cause so many
tummy upsets in children, very
little meat, but plenty of fresh fish
and sfresh vegetables and fruit.
There might be much less milk
than she is used to, but the vege-
tables and fruit will supply the
vitamins. Also she will not live
in a centrally heated house, but
mostly out of doors on the lovely
beaches. Although Biarritz is a
delightful place in itself, would
recommend you to live a little
way. out toward the foot of the
Pyrenees at tiny place called st.
Jean de Luz. I have not visited it
since the war, but I think 1t un-
likely to have changed much.

TO MAKE CHOCOLATE?

Some time back I wrote in to
the paper for a recipe for how
to make sweet milk chocolate. :"
The kind you can eat like candy.
Have never seen any reply to my
request in the paper. Surely some
one must know how to make it.
1 would even like the recipe for
baking chocolate.
Now, with Easter coming, I
make many candy Easter eggs for
less fortunate children, and would
like the chocolate recipe before
then.
WESTERN MOTOR TRIP?
(Fron, M. F, F.. ArlingtonJ
Our family Of three. including
a 10-year- old daughter. is expect
ing to take a six-Week motor trip
to the West this summer from
mid-June to August. In cog
nizance of the great distances be-
tween the magnificent but isolated
vacation spots and in the desire to
obtain full enjoyment and relaxa-
ton at the major stopover points
we are in need of travel advice
and guidance that might possibly
be available from RICH readers
with Western travel and resort
experience.
The principal problem concerns
the extent of milage to be COW
cred. We enjoy mountain and
park scenic regions. with their
trail hiking and riding, stream
and lake fishing and Photographic
attractions. AS an initial objec-
tive we have considered Rocky
Mountain National Park in Colo
radio, where we might spend one
week in a camp, hotel or motor
court accessible to vantage points.
Beyond Colorado we are facing
two possibilities. Utah, visiting
Zion and Bryce National Parks;
Nevada to California via Donner
Pass and Lake Tahoe. San Fran
cisco, Los Angeles. Yosemite, Ari-
zona (Grand Canyon. New Mex
leo and return through Southwest
and South Central States.
Wyoming, visiting Yellowstone;
Idaho. Oregon (Crater Lake, ,
Washington Mount Rainier, Seat
tle), Montana (Glacier National
Park, North Dakota, Minnesota,
Michigan, Ohio and return.
These itineraries may be too
ambitious and strenuous, particu-
larly for nature lovers that prefer
to linger a while and to hike or
fish at secluded and lovely places.
If so, we are favorable to dras-
tic reductions of milage in order
to add more leisure and relaxation
to our trip.
General information respecting
types and quantity of clothing,
accommodations (tourist homes
motor courts and hotels en- route
and in national parks. travelling
costs, outstanding places to visit
and facts pertinent to first time
Western travellers would be great
ly appreciated. If RICH readers
know of any travel books touching
on Western motor vacation trips
please advise. me.

ISOLATION, announce that recent ac-
ton of Maryland State Legislature

For further protection of dogs,
cats and other domestic animals

dog or any domestic animal on a
public street, highway or on pri-.
vate lands with intent "to lose"

O. Canal. The historic canal which
was purchased by the government
in 1888 at cost of $1,000, 900 was
projected by Washington as the
Potomac Canal. A stretch of about

Health and
Beauty
Beware of Colds!
Dr.. Sophia Brunson

Beware of Colds!
It is estimated that common colds
are the underlying cause of more
time lost from work than any other.
People who are perfectly healthy
do not take cold readily. Lowered
vitality frequently lays The ground
work for colds. Resistance is low
cred by getting the body chilled.
This is particularly true in the au-
tumn, when the weather changes
suddenly. Most people dress thinly
in hot weather. The temperature
falls, and they neglect to put on
warmer clothing. This results in
lowered vitality, and cold.
Do not think lightly Of colds.
They may result in influenza, pneu-
monia, or other dangerous diseas-
es, because the defense of the body
are lowered, and the victim readily
succumbs to other germs or. virus
es than those of colds.
Sometimes my servant begins
sneezing and developing the usual
symptoms of a cold. She always
says, Don't you worry; I'll break
it up tonight. A long time ago you
told me what to do for cold, and
I've been curing my colds quickly
the same way ever SINCE"
She is right. Colds never hang on
very long when she takes them, and
she has never yet, during her 25
years in my service, quit work on
account of one, though the onset is
sometimes rather severe. She is
back next morning, with the symp-
toms much improved.
The procedure which she follows
is to begin at once and drink glass
of fruit juice every hour. During
the day, she takes five grains of
quinine. If she aches, she swallows
five grains of aspirin with the qui-
nine. When she goes home, she
soaks her feet in hot water, drinks
a glass of hot lemonade, and takes
ten grains of quinine. When she re-
ports for work next morning, she
says that she feels very much bet
ter. She returns to her usual diet,
though she takes five grains of quiz
nine a day for several days, as a
tonic.
! The above is an old and tried
remedy, and generally succeeds.
quinine in small amounts is really
an excellent tonic.
1t is we'll to avoid people who
have colds, for colds are certainly
contagious. Sometimes all the chill
dren in a school are exposed to the
germs, because some child who is
suffering from a cold is sent to
school, when he should be kept at
home. If your child catches cold,
put him to bed, give light diet,
plenty of fruit juices, and two dos
es of quinine, each three grains,
three hours apart. Repeat for sew
eral days, if necessary.
When the diet is nourishing, it
builds the forces of the body, and
increases it's resistance to disease;
consequently one does not take
cold easily.
| A varied diet, consisting Of meat,
eggs, whole grain foods and vege-
tables, is necessary especially the
raw fruit and vegetable salads. A
tonic containing iron and quinine
| is all old standby, and good one.
1t helps to build the hemoglobin,
and improves the appetite.
