PAGE EIGHT THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE BEAUTY FOR YOU -- Pouches Under the Eyes By HELEN JAMESON No imaginary good-looks grief are those horrid little hammocks that sometimes appear under the eyes, One has to be an angel to accept them with patience and fortitude. Candid friends, who have a way of saying unpleasatn things, suggest that she should see her doctor, that possibly she is in the early stages of Bright's disease. While it is true that swollen tis. . Bues under the eyes are present during certain physical disturb- bances, they may signify nothing more terrible than fatigue or loss of sleep. Sometimes they are a family inheritance -- certainly not a pretty one to be handed down from one generation to an- other, If the little pouches under the eyes come and go, one should be able to determine their cause, It may be found in some mild diges- tive trouble or in a lazy colon. A change of diet may cause them to vanish. It is advisable to avoid rich foods for a while, to eat free- ly of fruits and vegetables and, most especially, to drink six glas- ses of water a day. In certain con- ditions, bulky foods cause dis- tress, 'as when symptoms of coli- tis are present, Over-fatigue is a common cause of this good-looks blemish. Women who haven't sense en- ough to crawl into bed at a rea- sonable hour are likely to have them. Eight hours of restful sleep night after night will eradicate | the little pouches. The drive- yourself woman is another vic- tim, No matter how tired she is, ghe keeps right on galloping, She fills herself full of fatigue bugs that are poisonous enemies. They irritate the central] nervous sys- tem, slow up circulation, and out pop those ugly bumps under her eyes. When women learn that many beauty sorrows are the di- rect result of unwise living hab- its, the cosmetic business will take a terrible wallop. Local treatment is of benefit. If eye-pouches come and go, one should be able to determine their cause, N EA Once or twice a day; dip a heavy washcloth in fairly hot water, place over the eyes. A large com- press is more effective than the gauze pads that women usually use. Hold the cloth close to the flesh. Repeat half a dozen times. Dip the cloth in ice-cold water and repeat, The change of tem- perature will reduce the swell- ings. Dry gently, then get out the massage cream. Anoint well. Place the first finger on the eyelid close to the nose, sweep out to the temple, do several small circles there, come back to starting point under the eye, Brooklin Pair, Now in Manitoba Observe Golden Anniversary Married in Brooklin in 1897, Mr. and Mrs. John Burnett, now of Mill Creek District, Fortier P.O., Manitoba, celebrated their golden wedding on Monday, De- cember 8. Mrs. Burnett, former- ly Miss Maude Knight, was born in Brooklin in 1877, and Mr. Burnett was born in Devonshire. In 1909 the couple left this district for Manitoba, where they farmed north of Oakville for nine _ years, later moving to Mill Creek District where they still reside. Constant readers «f The Times- Gazette for the past 38 years, they have followed with interest the expansion and development of Oshawa and district. Mr. Bur- nett is active in the work of the United Church and was superin- tendent of the Oakville, Man., Sunday School. Mrs, Burnett is president of the Woman's Asso- ciation of Mill Creek United Church, 'There are four sons and one daughter: Everett, Toronto; Clif- ford, Vancouver; Austin Jack, Fortier, and Mrs, Moxham. children, Greeting cards, telegrams and long distance calls from all over | the country heralded their golden wedding anniversary. Ninety- | five guests were received in the | living room of their home, and | and | Gordon | There are six grand- | tea was served in the dining room, The tea table was centred with a three-tier wedding cake flanked on either side with yellow tapers and yellow chrysanthemums. Mrs. Burnett wore a blue silk crepe gown with a gold and pearl necklet, gift of the groom. Her corsage was yellow rosebuds and fern, Those presiding at. the tea table were Mrs. R. Irvine, Mrs. W. J. Moffit, Mrs. James Thorn- ton, Mrs. .F. Galbraith, Mrs, "G. Leslie, Mrs. J. Miller, Mill Creek; Mrs. W. Metcalf, Portage; Mrs. W, Foxon, Golden Stream; Mrs. Les Mountain and Mrs, M.

BUNDESEN, M.D, SKIN INFECTIONS Few things are more remark- able than the ability of the skin to resist germs. Though we know that it normally does a wonderful job in this way, we still have much to learn about how that job is done, and this mystery makes it harder to understand just what happens to allow harmful germs to get a foothold in the skin as they do now and then to cause infection, Nonetheless, the fact remains that germs -- chiefly staphylocci and streptococci-----are responsible for a large proportion of skin dis- orders, causing a great deal more trouble in this way than fungi, such as ringworm. Skin Harbors Germs Even under normal conditions "the skin harbors great numbers of germs. Ordinarily, these germs are harmless, but such things as excessive heat and moisture are thought to cause considerable changes in the number of these harmless organisms and to give harmful ones chance for a foot- hold to which they then cling: with great stubborness. If the skin is injured, harmful germs rapidly grow in the affect- ed area. Thus, in treating skin diseases in which there is inflam- mation of the skn, it is important to avoid any measures which may cause further irritation. The effectiveness of any method of treatment is increased if the skin is gently cleansed and dead tissue removed. Various solutions are helr ul in this cleaning-up process, although they do not have any particular effect in getting rid of the germs. For example, one that is sug- gested is a solution of salt, an- other is a boric acid solution, and still a third is potassium per- manganate, Rest and exposure of the affect- ed part to air also may be an im- portant part of the treatment. It is difficult to cure an infection of the skin of the foot, however mild, if the foot is kept closed up in a shoe and is subjected to movement for from 12 to 18 hours a day during walking and other activities. One group of skin infections includes such disorders as impe- tigo, infectious dematitis and fol- liculitis, which is an infection around the lair roots. Clean Thoroughly The treatment for these condi- tions is to clean the involved parts thoroughly with soap and water and a solution of salt and permanganate. The solution is applied for 20 minutes, two to six times a day. Any pus-con- taining sores are opened. Treat. ment with penicillin is then em- ployed. It is probable that the giving of the penicillin by inject- tion into a muscle is better than applyng it locally, in most in- stances. However, in such con. ditions as mild impetigo, the local tredtment is simpler and less ex- pensive, As a general rule, the treat- ment need not be carried out for longer than five days. If the pen- icillin treatment does not produce improvement within three days, a change to some other form of treatment may be advisable. Such drugs as ammoniated mercury or silver nitrate may be ued, for example, in these instances. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS B.C.: Is a fibroid tumor opera- tion considered dangerous? Answer: Operation for fibroid tumor has the same dangers as any operation involving the giv ing of an anaesthetic, putting the patient to sleep, and opening the abdomen.

GLAMORIZING New Trends LJ While fashions in dress under- went a errific upheaval in early autumn, hair styles have not been altered to any extent. Nothing radical, anyhow, has happened, as might have been expected. Hair. dos are a bit closer to the head. Some girls are trying out the buns-over-the-ears mode that is more comfortable with wide- brimmed hats. The uppity arrangement. is still going strong. There is the semi- updo interpretation that shows one ear exposed and the other covered. No matter what style one adopts, there is the important matter of having tresses sleek and smooth. It is almost impos- sible to keep stray ends under control---especially if the hair has just the growth to reach the crown and no more--unless one uses a lacquer. Dress your hair. Then apply a little lacquer with in Coiffures By HELEN FOLLETT A few dabs of hair lacquer, applied with cotton, will keep the stray ends of your upsweep under control. -> pledgets of cotton along the hair- line, front and back. Beauty shops often use atomizers for the purpose, A really new note is the use of ribbons in the hair. This gives one the "little girl" look that is just the ticket for the young lady of tabloid size. A perky bow is placed at the far end of a side parting; the hair, slightly waved, is swept away from the ears. This style appeals to the young lady whose locks fall short of being pigtail material, and there are no ends left «for curls or rolls. The extremists who love to at- tract attention, make a sensation, have found a wonderful opportun- ity to exploit ultra-smartness in the use of demountable braids. And, wonder of wonders! The factory strands do not match the hair, but match the color of the frock, = TIPS FOR TEENS -- -- a Are You a Popular Guest? By ~ LIITTR WILLIAMS Just a reminder that when you are an overnight, week-end or vacation guest there are ways to make everyone want you to come again--and ways ot make them sorry they suggested the first visit. Here, quickly, are: all-impor- tant dos and don'ts to help make you a popular, Jolie guest: * 0 Take your hostess a small gift to show your appreciation of her hospitality or send it to her im- mediately after you return home, (Incidentally, if you are visiting a girl friend, her mother is your hostess.) It's easiest to take the gift with you to give to her. Make it rather mipersonal -- candy, pretty handkerchiefs, fluffy bath powder in a light, flowery frag- rance or a scented bath mitt filled with rich soap, almond mea] and other delectable skin fresheners. None of these will break the bank, because theyre available for about one dollar. Arrive at the time you are ex~ pected. Let your friend know what time your train or bus ar- rives, so she and her mother will know how to plan. Then don't upset things by 'arriving early while they are still in the hectic process of preparation. Avoid being late, too, Be on time for meals. Eat what is offered to you. Show consideration for the family and other guests. Pick up your clothes, leave thebathroom tidy (and don't take too long!), bring all the clothes you'll need many friends. \ 14% SIMCOE ST. 8 Noy Choist!

RAY r our It is always a 4 J SCIENTIFIC SHOE PITTING é oy PHONE 178 Hollywood Highlights By BOB THOMAS Hollywood.--The tough film crew stood - behind the heavy wire fence and watched in quiet admiration as the lady performed her job. Behind a wire cage within the large fence, uneasy cameramen fliméd the tiger stalking through the underbrush. The lady shouted directions to the tiger and when the scene was finished, she wacked it on the behind with & whip and led it back to its cage. The star of this scene will never "appear in the picture. She is Mbbel Stark, a yellow-haired old-timer who has been ordering tigers around since 1912.. Along with the veteran film animal trainer, Melvin Koontz, she is directing the tigers for "Man- Eater of Kumaon." That is no small task, the cats being bad actors in many respects. "Tigers do not act as well as lions," she explained. "That's why they interest me more. I don't care for lions. "A lion becomes more docile the longer he is trained. Not so the tigers. They grow more unpredict.- able with age. They have to be retired from performing around the age of 12. I wouldn't trust them after that." Her opinion stems from experi- ence. She estimates that not more than two inches on any part of her body has been unscathed by tiger claws. They have broken many of her bones and have removed large chunks from her hips and shoulders. I asked the circus veteran if any of the "Kumaon" actors would be exposed to her tigers. "No," she answered. "These ani- males are too young to take chances with them. If they attacked an actor, they woul have to be de- stroyed before they would give up. "And tigers are too hard to get these days." y Managers of first-run theatres in Los Angeles are mumbling to them- selves these days because they are entering thelr most competitive week of business. Academy-wise producers have been holding their beloved pictures for release at the last possible time for Oscar com- petition, For the next week the market will be glutted with big- budget films and it's anybody's guess as to which will come down the homestretch a winner. From this vantage point, the competition doesn't look very tough, HOUSEHOLD HINT When you buy rayon curtains, ask about shrink-resistance and whether they should be washed or dry-cleaned. Many rayon cur. tain fabrics go through special shrinkage control processes. A curtain that shrinks a good deal may look véry unattractive and would therefore have to be ex- changed for new ones, TIME VERSUS LEARNING The seniority of a teacher had been overlooked in making a pro- motion. Naturally disgruntled, he demanded to know why his twen- ty years of experience had been overlooked. "My friend," said the principal, "in reality you haven't had 20 years of @experience--you have had one year's experience twenty times, and help with chores around the house. + DON'T Make extra work by sleeping too late for the family breakfast.

Dear Mrs. Beeckman: Do you think it is in goed taste to display one's Christmas cards, or the family Christmas cards on, for example, the mantel - shelf or around the fireplace or attached to a large mirror in the living-room? My mother and I like the idea, but my sister insists this is "show-off." If you approve, will you please give us scene suggestions? Thank you. Frances Indeed it is a charming idea to display your Christmas cards, the family Christmas cards, and your sister is being more than a little stuffy in holding back enthusiasm for this all-out-for-Christmas plan, Not only is this a wondrously fes- tive plan for Christmas decor, but think how pleasantly complimented your friends will be at finding their card-remembrances so charmingly displayed. And such artistic in- genuity and imagination as you can put into the designing of the dis- play! Red and green ribbon can be festooned around the mantel and the cards secured to the ribbon with tiny paper clips. Or a large sheet, or sheets, of red or green or radiantly gold or silver paper can be thumb-tacked to the wall-or- picture-molding and the Christmas cards attached to the paper with transparent scotch tape. Or an en- tire Christmas tree, a green.or white cne, may be decorated with cards (and this can be most gala), or a small tree can be devoted to this holiday decoration with cards; or a large mirror may be the radidnt background for the cards: or the cards may be arranged over the fireplace in the formation of the initial of the family-surname For Her Hostess, On Christmas Day Dear Mrs. Beeckman: I have been going steady with a fellow, and he has asked me to visit his mother, who lives in another city, on Christmas Day.

(Present also will be oth er relatives of his, whom I have never met.) Esther Yes; Christmas is such a present- giving day that you should bring a gift to your hostess.

Werd "Christmas" Means What You Make It Mean It can be an inspiration to each of us to apply to the word "Christ- mas" the idea Alice in Wonderland applied to all words ...
