The board Of the National
Council of Catholic Women
called on fellow Americans ito
manifest to us that spirit Of
fair play and good will which
is In the best American ira
dition."
The plea was part of . state
ment. issued yesterday by the
board. which termed the
Catholic school system in the
United States "a remarkable
manifestation of all that our
country stands for: Freedom
of the individual to live &C.
cording to the dictates of con-
science, his willingness to work
and sacrifice for principle, and
his spirit of independence and
self reliance"
Although it was not spelled
out in the statement. a spokes-
man for the National Council

play" was a reference to the

financial sacrifice by millions
of Catholics who at the same
time contribute their full share
to the cost of public educa-

all who have made possible its
establishment and growth. 1t

American private and group
enterprise at its best"

WHY GROW OLD?
Complexion
May Reveal
BodyHealth
By JOSEPHINE BOWMAN


There is no doubt about the
fact that our complexion re-
fleets our general condition to
a remarkable degree. II We
are anemic we look pale or
sallow. If we have poisons in
our body they may erupt in
pimples.
When we eat a well-balanced
diet we have good nutrition
and splendid elimination and
our skin is apt to be lovely
and clear.
There is no one miracle food
so far as complexion beauty
is concerned. However. lots
of fresh fruits and green and
yellow vegetables. fruit juices,
eggs, lean meat and whole
grain products. add up to
health and good looks.
Research indicates that an
adequate amount Of milk may
increase life expectancy and
certainly adds to the bloom
Of both complexion and daily
life.
If you have an oily skin
and are troubled with black
heads you will be wise to cut
down on the fats in your diet.
These are hard to digest and
may have a bad effect on your
complexion. Some women find
that chocolate causes pimples
whenever they eat much of it.
For the sake of your skin
cut out rich highly seasoned.
