Fever flushes it; malnutrition brings pallor; disorders of the liver may create a yellow cast. Too lit- tle fat in the diet or too little water taken into the system each day can cause it to dry out and flake like mother's ple-crust. A hearty diet, containing too much protein, will make the skin texture coarse. An excess of fat in the diet will send sebaceous glands rampaging, put the skin surface in condition to in- vite blackheads and pimples. As in the case of some other good-looks sorrows, we come back to the practical conclusion that the best way to provide oneself with a lovely complexion, and to keep fit fresh and youthful throughout the years, is to take excellent care of one's health, Eat wisely. Eat a variety of foods, so that you will have all the elements that are ne- cessary for vitality and energy. Bathe daily, so that the skin can carry on as an organ of elimina- tion.

A The Mixing Bowl Hello Homemakers! One of the most popular salads in men's clubs is asparagus vinaigrette--chefs tell us, They say that this is simply chilled freshly - cooked asparagus stalks served on crisp lettuce with vinegar and oll sauce. A chef, re- nowned for his sauces, was kind enough to supply the following re- cipe and pointed out that a small quantity of tarragon vinegar makes a difference. It is also good with hot asparagus. Sauce Vinaigrette 1 tsp. salt, % tsp. paprika, 1 tbsp. tarragon vinegar, 2 thsps. cider vinegar, 6 tbsps. olive or salad oil, 1 tbsp. chopped green per, 1 tbsp. chopped cucum«~ pickle, 1 tsp. chopped pars- ley, 1 tsp. chopped green onion. Combine ingredients in order given, A little chopped celery or pimento may be added if desired, To enjoy asparagus to the ut- most you should eat it as fresh as possible, Soap off the woody ends as the stalks break above the on stems and clean thoroughly. When cooking asparagus it is a .| good idea to remember that the stalks take longer to cook than the tips. Use sealer rings in the bot tom of saucepan to prop heads out of water. Only an inch water is necessary, cover and cook for 10 or 15 mins. depending upon the amount prepared. Someone asked us the other day if asparagus liquor like spinach liquor should be thrown out. We say yes because it is too strong to use except with asparagus. DRAWN BUTTER SAUCE 3 tbsps. butter, 3 tbsps. flour, % cup hot water, %cup aspar- agus water, 12 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. lemon juice. Melt butter, add flour with seas- onings. Pour in the liquids and boil dip | 5 mins. Add lemon juice and serve at once over asparagus, Take a Tip 1.

If you cannot put a screw in the end of the brush or dish mop handle, insert a ring near the han- dle in the brush. Chicken-leg mark- ers are flexible rings obtainable at most feed stores. They are colour- ful too. The Question Box . Miss T. T. asks: Why do some espe have a dark ring around the y when cooked-in-shell? Answer:: When eggs cooked-in- shell are not cooled quickly, this unappealing tarnish usually forms. The dark ring is not harmful. Mrs. E. J. asks: Is it harmful to cook asparagus in aluminum ware? Can the stain it causes be removed from the pan? Answer: No. The stain is easily removed by boiling a few pieces of rhubarb in it. Mrs, T. M. asks: How to keep watercress? Answer: Leave a few of the roots on and keep them in water. Change the water once or twice a day. Do not cover. Mrs. J. R. asks: How to toast nuts without burning them? Answer: Blanche in hot water; drain, and put in a slightly greased pie plate. Warm in a moderate oven at 300 degs. for about 15 mins. Stir occasionally.

CURE FOR LICE Of late years there has been what might be called an epidemic of head lice among school children in many of our large cities, When such a pest gets started it is always i ta soa) Se. © perl e of doctors 2B 3 in dealing with the same condition, An article Dr, Arthur D. Fra- zer, con from the British Medical Journal the Current 1 Digest, how 400 Bri- patients were rid of head lice by D.D.T., the powerful insecticide developed by the U.S. Army during the war. Other Preparations While there are many prepara- tions which can be used against the there are, unfor- of D.D.T., naphtha, an em: agent, and water, to be an ideal treatment for head lice. The D.D.T. is not dissolved but rather held in suspension in the liquid. Strong Solutions Long - continued tact with strong solutions of D.D.T. may be dangerous but, with proper caution, either powder or weak solutions may be used on the skin with pere fect safety. Before treatment is started, wo- men patients are advised to have a scarf in which to tie up the hair. While the emulsion employed is a clear, colorless fluid, it makes the hair straight or lank. The scarf is worn merely to save the patient embarrassment, In applying the treatment, a pro- tective apron is spread over the shoulders and the emulsion is then thoroughly worked into the hair and scalp with a soft brush. The next day the patient washes the hair with soap and water and re- turns for examination. At Second Visit At this second visit, the hair is thoroughly combed with a fine comb. Two such combings may be needed if the head is heavily in- fested with the lice, but in practi- cally all cases one treatment was sufficient to get rid of the infesta- tion permanently. Contact with the emulsion usually kills the lice in about one-half hour. Thus, the hair may be washed one hour after treatment and thoroughy combed with a fine comb, which in most cases will be sufficient to eliminate the lice. No reactions were seen except in one case where there was an exten- sive infection of the scalp, In this instance some swelling of the nose, forehead and eyelids = occurred. However, this reaction disappeared within a few days. This treatment, so rapid and easy, is also practically free from all danger. It should be a boon to all who suffer from head lice infesta- tion and to doctors and nurses who must deal with them, Tomorrow's Activities Adelaide House Dancing Tap Over-20 Club Bridge Class Over-20 Dance WOODEN DRAIN BOARD A wooden drain board at the sink should be given a thorough washing every day, whiting rubbed into the wet boards, then allowed to dry.

The phone rings, you listeri with pleasure, you exclaim "I'll be de- lighted! Sweet of youl Of course I'll come!" At once you think of your hair. It is a mess. Ringlets seem to have strung out over night. You make a grab at the telephone, call your beauty operator and your heart sinks; She hasn't time for an ap- pointment. Despair-not. Though you haven't the time. or the heart to give your precious wool a soaping and rinsing there is an emergency method that will tide you through. You can put your glorious crown in lustrous form and you can do it in a hurry.

Premier King Thanks Voluntary Workers Ottawa, May 14--(CP) -- Prime Minister Mackenzie King today paid tribute to the "steadfast service" of 17,000 voluntary workers of the Pri- ces Board's Consumer Branch, which officially closes tomorrow.

Canadian wo- men responded splendidly to the ap- peal to take part against the inflation of prices. Pub- lic-spirited women throughout our country voluntarily combined their forces to help meet the threat of inflation." in the battle He thanked the voluntary workers across Canada "who, in helping to combat the evil of inflation during the past years of grave national emergency, have rendered stead- fast service mentioned particularly the chair men of the 14 Women's Regional Advisory Committees, to our country," and y to city streets.

He can disregard the summons and he is immune from judgment by default. This is true "for the duration and six months thereafter", and he cannot be com- pelled to come in to court to answer a complaint, whether on divorce or other matters, (Source: Annals of American Academy of Political and Social Sciences.) § SOAP and OINTMENT |} i For PROMPT RELIEF |} t PIMPLES 1] 4 RASHES § 1 ' p BLACKHEADS § Ne Bu opr i, thle, He, druggists.

For five years Miss Sanders work- with. women's organizations and housewives throughout Canada and during this time had meetings, in practically every city and town in Canada, The Board's Consumer Branch impressed on every woman the im. portance of accepting the personal responsibility of seeing that the shopper paid no more than ceiling prices, avoided any black market transactions, and helped in every way when many scarcities made household shopping a difficult task. Voluntary Effort Started early in the war purely as a voluntary effort, the WPTB Consumer Branch organization, whose one alm was protection of the Canadian consumer, transcend- ed all racial, religious and politic~ al differences. At present there are 17,000 of these voluntary repre sentatives from coast to coast in Canada working in the interests of the'consumer. These volunteers re- present nearly three million Cana- a. formed, volunteer squads for distributing ration books, the: formed speakers' panels to tell oth- er women how to hold down the cost of living, they had price study panels, made monthly reports to the Prices Board on supplies of goods in their own communities and sent in suggestions on how WPTB regulations could be improved. The Consumer Branch fostered and promoted a clothing conserva tion campaign. Under their Con- servation Supervisor, Kate Aitken, more than 50 re-make centres were set up in the larger cities where" women could get practical instruc- tions on how to make over clothes, Every month for six years Consum- er Branch distributed a pamphlet "Consumers' News" which contain- ed the latest price control informa- tion regulations. It had a Domine fon-wide circulation of 350,000. Constantly in touch with head- quarters, the Consumer Branch re- presentatives - were kept fully ine formed on WPTB activities, and in turn passed this information on to' their own groups and communities.

When I sign a note to my child's teacher, asking her to excuse an absence, should I sign "Mrs. William Jones", or "Jane Jones"? 2. How should I sign a report card? 3. In signing a sympathy card is the signature "Jane and Bill Jones" too informal even though we know the people very well? I sometimes wonder if it should be "Jane and William Jones," or perhaps "Mr. and Mrs. William Jones." 4. Another question is about telephoning. When I am telephon- ing to a person who calls me "Mrs. Jones," isn't it better to say "This is Jane Jones calling"? --R.H. 1. The correct form of signature to this note to your child's teacher is Sincerely yours, Jane Smith Jones. (Mrs. William Jones) Never, never, NEVER should you sign a letter of any kind, business or professional or social, to any one (even if you do nob know the person to whom you are writ ing) with your formal name, Mrs. William Jones. Your signature is your informal name . . . Jane Smith Jones, or Jane S. Jones, or Jane Jones. You add your formal name (in parenthesis, under and to the left of your signature), either for identification or for information. 2. The way you sign your child's report "card depends on circum- stances. If he is in a very small school where all mothers areknow= to the teachers and school" heads, you may sign "Jane Smith Jones." Or, when it seems called for, "Jane Smith Jones," with (Mrs. Willlam Jones) underneath or, if there is enough space, to the side. For a larger school, "Mrs. William Jones" is correct. 3. It is the informal name that should be signed under a printed message on a card . . . Jane and Bill Jones. A ready-made card of sympathy for a death should never be sent . . . this expression of sym- pathy must be a personal note, even though of only one sentence). 4. Yes, when you are making a social telephone call to a woman, even if she c-lls you "Mrs. Jones," you announce yourself on the tele- phone, "Mrs, Robinson? This is Jane Joes." When Ring-Bearer and Flower Girl Are Aged Three! Dear Mrs. Beeckman: 1. In my wedding in June, I would like to have my brother (aged 3) as ring-bearer and my niece (also aged 3) as flower girl. Would it be proper to have them walk together? 2. Since they are so young I would like to have my sister, my attendant, walk up the aisle behind them, to keep an eye on them and to put them in the right seats after the processioral. Would it be all right for her to walk alone, fol. lowing the two children? --AB. 1. Yes. It is entirely correct to have the ring-bearer go up the aisle with the flower girl. 2. Yes, it would be quite all right for your attendant to walk behind these two little children, rather than, as is the customary way, in front of them . .. and undoubtedly this arrangement would be a very practical one! (Mrs. Beeckman will be glad to answer questions on "What Should I Do" submitted by readers). The Movie Column By RON GADSBY Canadian Press Staff Writer Tt appears the bobby-soxers are coming into their own. A film, soon to be produced by RKO, will be entitled 'The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer" and will tell the story of an {irascible judge and his reaction to the zanies in the flat heels. In the film, Myrna Loy and Shirley Temple-- recently 19--will have leading roles and Harry Davenport will play the judge. Oh yes, girls, Carey Grant will co-star with Shirley Temple and Miss Loy. That Report The recently issued annual report of the Ontario Board of Film Censors 'bears food for thought. Among other things, the Board suggested children be segregated in cinema houses to prevent their molestation by adults and the idea appears sound. Another item they approved was the use of the term "adult entertainment" films deemed unsuitable children. . On the surface, it sounds com- mendable and for most clear for on certain | thinking parents, offers a guide to proper entertainment for their children. However, it is our opinion the tag line is sometimes overdone. : Many films carry the segregating sign, that shouldn't carry it. The movie companies, notably quick on the uptake, weigh a basic quality of human psychology and recommend the line because they know that what people think they shouldn't have, they often want. : We suggest care should be shown by the Censor Board in allowing the use of the title, and if it is used, the kids should be kept at home. Don't Bother If you are troubled with insome nia, or merely like to suffer quietly, by all means see the George Raft, Lynn Bari piece called "Nocturne." It is a mystery story in which a composer, who apparently was bet- ter off dead anyway, gets killed-- shot, you are led to believe, by one of his many female admirers. Raft, as the detective who suse pects murder from the start and not suicide, as the crime is framed to look, ultimately gets his man. Lynn Bari is the chief suspect and after four tedious reels of ponderous persifiage, he takes her home to mother as an honest woman. INTRODUCING -- the greatest improvement ever created in lipstick!
