As / write this article, | can look
through the doorway and see a
woman Of As waiting in the outer
Office. The light is good and | see
her clearly. She looks 10 years
younger today than she did a
month ago. What brought about
this amazing change? Estrogenic
hormones! Reams have been
written about hormones. Will they
make women of rs look 10 again?
Absolutely not. Will they make
women of so feel like they are 20
again? Only in way ! shall ex-
plain later.
To know the truth about hor-
mones you need to learn just two
simple facts: l. The beauty of a
woman's skin starts breaking down
as signs of menopause begin, be-
cause the female organs fail to sup
ply enough estrogenic hormones to
feed the skin less and less as you
grow older. 2. Estrogenic hormones
can be supplied to the skin by
rubbing on penetrating formula
containing the hormones.
Here is a test reported in a
scientific journal, one of many that
showed similarly sensational re-
suits: Twenty-Five women applied
hOYmOnes to one side of the face
and neck, and to one hand. On the
other side and the other hand.
similar preparation containing no
hormones was applied the same
way.
These are the reports in simple
words: Skin lines Tor wrinkles)
quickly dimmed or disappeared
from sight as creases and hollows
filed out. Blotches and "old-age
freckles" faded on hands, face and
neck. Skin was softer, clearer,
seemed to lose its chronic dry
ness and take on revived freshness
and vitality.
All these amazing things hap
pened on the side where the ,hor-
Tnones were used. Meanwhile no
change occurred on the other side.
The same withered, lifeless COM
plexion.
Still another scientist reports. in
effect, improvement in the skin Of
women past menopause was strik-
ing. These women looked like the
years had been turned back to-
ward their youthful "pre-change"
appearance.
I've seen this myself. have
seen the improvement 30 rapid
that in just two days women looked
younger. And, what a lift to the
spirits cannot truthfully say that
women of 60 felt like they were 20
again. But | have seen the light
come back into their eyes, the
chins raised with proud confidence,
the zest for living return because
i presume--to look younger is to
feel younger.
Now to select a good estrogenic
hormone preparation, here is what
you need TO know: the strength in
the hormone preparations must
appear on the label. The recon-
mended daily allotment for the
skin is 800 International Units.
The base should be as rich as
possible in lanolin and vegetable
oils to permit fast penetration and
deep absorption and, when rub
bed in" your skin should not feel
greasy or sticky. On first applica-
ton, your skin should feel a radi-
ant glowofrevitalized youthfulness
and refreshment.

You Say You
Had Beetles?

You say you had beetles pretty
bad this year? You say they're
gone now. We got news! They are
out there under the window right
now chewing the bottom off your
lawn.
DR.. Dale Bray, chairman of the
entomology department at the I'm
iversity of Delaware, said the beet
les have just shifted gears, so to
speak, and what they did to your
roses is nothing to what they are
going to do to your lawnI
All those survivors from your
spray gun have been going under
ground and laying eggs, Bray said.
Those eggs either have, or soon
will, develop into exceedingly hun
CRY little grubs who will set out to
separate your grass from its roots.
And they have all the tools to get
the job done.
After fattening up to Information
size the grubs will move down in
the soil to get away from the cold
and come back up next spring to
finish off any grass roots they
missed in the fall.
They will come out into the sun
shine about the middle of June, as
beetles, and start on the new
roses you will be babying along to
replace the ones the beetles got
last year.
Now if you enjoy the beetle-bat-
tie during June and July you can
keep your spray gun creased and
kiss your lawn goodbye. On the
other hand, if you would just as
soon stoop to meteorological and
chemical warfare, DR.. Bray has in
mind some Internal devices that
will do devilishly complete job.
He described one called milky
disease as bacterial spores which
cause a disease in the grub which
is fatal, and fatal diseases of the
beetle are the best"
If you favor chemical warfare
you can use a number of materials
such as chlordane, dieldrin, hepta-
chlor or aldrin. Chlordane is the
most common but all of them will
do the job if directions are follow
ed, he said.
Insecticides are not as discrim-
mating as milky disease spores
however, and are just as likely to
knock off your cats and dogs as the
grubs if you don't soak the insecti-
eide thoroughly into the lawn. In
fact you should keep your children,
dogs, cats, etc. from playing on the

lawn until vou have washed the
materials in, Bray said.
The outbreak of the Japanese
beetles may be due to the many
new housing developments, DR..
Bray said. The beetles seem to be
worse in new lawns.
The wet summers of the last two
years have also helped the beetles
by providing soft soil, enabling the
grub form of the pest to move
easily from one grass root to an
other as we'll as up and down in
the soil.
DR.. Bray said the entomology de-
partment made mass attack on
the beetles in the late 1930's by
spreading milky disease spores in
several spots in the state. The
spores lived in the soil and spread
out controlling beetles fairly well.
The spores were checked shortly
after World War III and were doing
we'll.
Another check is going to be
made this fall, Bray said, to see if
it is still effective.
DR.. Bray had narting thought
for those who prefer to spend their
fall week-ends watching baseball
and football on TV and reading the
Sunday paper while complaining
bitterly about those blankety blank
Japanese grubs out there in the
lawn. The fight will go on without
you, he said. The skunks, robins,
sparrows and especially the star
lings, will continue in their relent-
less battle against Japanese beet
les.
