TUESDAY, AUGUST 31, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE "SEVEN BEAUTY FOR YOU - Improve Your Appearance By BELEN JAMESON It is known among medical men many patients, especially wo- have nothing organically the 1m with them. They're tired or they're bored with life, or they have let their nervous systems go hay- wire. As far as the physical motors are concerned they are all right Changes in appearance take place in the face and the figure. The hair shows white threads. The once- . smooth skin is lined. The svelte, 'slender shape has assumed over- nless a woman is absorbed in in- sting activities, is chugging along her own steam, still finding est in existence, she is likely to lose Ind that are no more. Romance? There just isn't such a thing, \ If she has the time and the mon- ey, let her make it her business to improve her appearance. Good-looks & sort of passport. Many beauty ercise in the open air, for instance, puts color in the complexion, aids digestion, ups the dragging spirits. Even the nightly creaming of the complexion helps because you can commune quietly with your soul, hope that youll look fresher and better in the morning. The woman who is bored with other people may have cultivated the habit. If others have ideas con- trary to her own she cannot endure them, (If everybody thought alike, what a tiresome world this would be!) She lacks tolerance, If she would listen patiently to what others have to say she might pos- sibly learn something in which she would be interested. She lacks the power of observa- tion. The study of one's fellow crea- tures can be found good fun. It is possible that the bored woman has mo sense of humor, the possession of which factor that has kept many a 'woman from growing old and unin- teresting, 'What goes on inside the head comes out on the face, as we have remarked several timec before. It is t goes on inside the head comes out on the face #* * a fact worth repeating. The students in this beauty class should give it consideration, Every bored woman looks bored.

All sorts of projects are going on to help the poor, unhappy souls in Europe. To lend a hand is to feel that one is of use It fills one with a sort of inspiration.

It's the true one, the story of the 40,000 different kinds that make up this fish-fllled world of ours. There are fish that have nasty. tempers, fish that can go out for a stroll, fish that are plain, no-account lazy, fish that are so small you can hardly see them. Fish so large they'd feel cramped in a trailer truck. All this is discussed in a new book, called "The Ways of Fishes." It's by Mrs. Edith M. Stern and Dr. Leonard P. Schultz, curator of tion and an authority on the be- vior of fish. "Some fish walk, some fly, some athe air, some water," says Dr. hultz. "There are fishes that burrow like moles, hibernate like bears, fight like tigers." + And that isn't all. Continues Dr. Schultz: : Some fish are placid, others ner- vous and easily irritated. Among them are the timid and fearless, HAVE YOU YAD YOUR LASSES OF mY TODAY? THERES NOTHING LIKE IT! Plenty of milk every day helps you feel really good «+. and when you feel good you look good! Is @ fact that beauty is more than. skin deep! EVERYONE NEEDS MILK TO FOR CHILDREN Dispositions and Habits ' the lazy and energetic, the mild and bloodthirsty." Dr. Schultz went to Bikini to study fish during the atom bomb tests, He came back with the news that beautiful fish may be like beautiful dames. Some of the prettiest are the deadliest, Tigerfish, he observed, are strik- ingly beautiful, with bold yellow and black stripes. But they have a series of spines on their backs and fins, and even a prick from these can be painful. A real gash can mean death. GLACE CHERRIES Ingredients: To every pound of fruit allow 1 lb. of loaf sugar and 1% pint of cold water. Stone the cherries after washing and drying them. Put the sugar and water into an aluminum, enamel or copper pan, stir over low heat until the sugar has melted, then remove the spoon, bring to the boil, skim and if you have a sugar boiling ther- mometer lower it gently into the syrup and boil to 230 deg. F. If no thermometer is at hand, dip a stick into cold water, then into the syrup, and back into the water. Pinch the syrup adhering to the stick, draw the finger and thumb apart and a thread should form, which however will snap immediately. When this stage is reached add the cherries and simmer gently until they look clear. Remove all scum as it rises. Lift out the fruit with a perfora- ted slicer and place it on flat dish- es. Cover and keep in a dry place for 24 hours, then boil up the syrup to 240 deg. F, or until large bubbles appear on the surface. Put in the cherries and simmer gently until they are tender. Remove the fruit from the syrup as before and leave for 24 hours. Reheat the syrup, add the cherries and boil for 5 to 6 min- utes. Remove them with the skim- mer and sift caster sugar thickly all over them. Place them on wire trays in a cool oven until dry. Turn occdsionally. Blueberry Griddlecakes The following recipe comes from the agriculturgl department of Rutgers University: 1 cup sifted flour 1-2 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons baking powder 2 teapsoons sugar 2 tablespoons melted butter' 2-3 cup milk 1 egg, beaten 2-3 cup blueberries Sift flour, salt, baking powder and sugar together. Combine the butter, milk and egg. Add to the dry ingredients. Beat until thixture is smoothfl = Stir in the blueberries. Drop batter from a tablespoon onto a hot griddle. The griddle will need to be greased slightly. Cook griddle-cakes on one side until puffed full of bubbles and cooked on the edges. Turn and cook on the other side. Serve with butter, sugar and more blueberries, if desired. Makes about ten three- inch cakes. Try a classified ad in The Times- "The Milk Foundation of Oshawa" Gazette--It will get good results. "Arthritic Sufferers NEW Plasmatic-fever Therapy H.E. W. BROWNLEE -- Doctor of Chiropractic --- * 15 SIMCOE ST. NORTH PHONE 869 A Physician Advises You By HERMAN A. BUNDBESEN, M.D. CAUSE OF GOUT Victims of gout, as depicted in novels, are always "high-livers" -and hard drinkers, with a particular fondness for port wine. If authors troubled to seek medical advice they would find that this disease is by no means limited to people of this type. In other words, the cause of gout is not to be found in rich food and drink, but rather in the inability of the body to use certain food parts known as purines. The disease is largely confined to men and, though it can occur at any age, it usually begins during the fourth decade of life with dramatic sud- denness. Excruciating Pain Without warning, its victim is seized with an excruciating pain in the joint of the 'large toe. Other joints may be involved, but this is the usual site of the torture. The skin around the inflamed and throbbing joint soon becomes a dusky red, while fever and rapid heart beat give evidence that the entire body is affected. Even if untreated, the attack usually clears up for the time being in from three to sevén days. The skin over the involved joint may peel. Persons with an attack of gout respond quickly to a drug known as colchicine. In fact, if there is some question about the diagnosis and the symptoms clear up with the administration of 'this drug, it means, in particularily all cases, that the trouble is due to gout. After Attack After an attack clears up, the patient has no reaction from the condition except, perhaps, an in- crease of the amount of uric acid in the blood. Attacks usually occur once a year. However, as they recur, there is a tendency for the attacks to last longer and the interval between the attacks to become shorter. About ten to twenty years after the first attack of gout, a chronic condition may develop, due to dam- age to the joint. Deposits of what are known as urates occur along to the bones, and around the joints, The patient is apt to have contin- ued symptoms. In most instances, attacks of gout are not brought on by eating or drinking excessively. However, in- juries, excessive exercise, and in- fection do seem to bring on the at- tacks. Certain drugs, such as liver ex- tracts, mercurials and ergotamine tartrate also seem to provoke gouty attacks. In making a diagnosis of the con- dition, the amount of uric acid in the blood should be determined, since in gout the quantity of uric acid in the blood is greater than normal. In Early Stages X-ray examination is not of great value in diagnosing the condition in the early stages. When the dis- order becomes chronic, however, X- ray examination is quite helpful in the diagnosis. Treatment consists of the use of colchicine, as I have mentioned, and the pain-relieving preparations if they are necessary. The elimination of foods rich in purines, such as liver, kidney, pancreas, anchovies, sardines, and brains, is important. The patient should drink plenty of fluids. Exercise of the involved joints is of value. Aspirin and bak- ing soda taken three days of each we:« are also helpful in preventing attacks. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS F.

By HELEN FOLLETT A clear hand lotion is nice in warm weather. When applying it, massage a génercus amount into the cuticle. * If you are having trouble with your finger nails, don't blame the polish. It isn't fair to hurl bricks at cosmetic chemists. Authorities in the field of dermatology say that there are numerous reasons for nail defects. A disturbance of the nutri- tion of the nails may cause them to become brittle, even to take on transverse grooves that are un- sightly. This lack of nutrition may come about through some diet de- ficiency; one is not getting all the food elements one needs. Finicky eaters have more good looks griefs than have women who take a vari- ety of foods every day, get the nec- essary vitamins dnd mineral salts. Every part of the body is dependent upon the intake of groceries. The woman who has her hands in water many times a day may find that the pink sheaths are drying out and break easily. Every night she should apply a cuticle cream, rub it in well. Soaking the finger tips for ten or fifteen minutes in hot mineral or olive oil is a prac- tice recommended by many mani- curists. * * Sluggish circulation will cause the talons to lose the natural rosy glow and will slow up the proeess of renewal of those delicate over- lapping cells that push forth from the matrix. For the good of your nails, your complexion, your spirits, your figure and your disposition, take up some outdoor sport. Activ- ity is a law of life; a most impor- tant one. When nails are in a subnormal condition they become thin and delicate, bend easily. It is especially necessary then to use a cream and to massage them frequently. Press the cream gently down at the nail bases, as that is where the pink shells most need nourishment. Avoid harsh soaps. They are death on fingernails, as well as the surface of the hands. Dry the hands thoroughly. And don't just because it's Summer, fancy that you can get along without a hand lotion. That lotioning job must go on if your hands are not to look old before their time. For warm weather, a clear lotion, is nice. 70 Steps Per Meal In Dream Kitchen Just 70 steps around the kitchen and dinner's ready to serve. The average housewife, who takes about 250 steps to do the same job, could save time and movement in the dream kitchen on display at Design Centre at the ONE. This 70-steps-per-meal kitchen is the work of architecture students at the University of Toronto, which sponsors Design Centre jointly with the National Gallery in Ottawa. Based on studies initiated by Per- due University in the United States, the 84 Toronto students worked on the idea of decentralizing kitchen jobs. The male experts broke up the kitchen into five separate units-- for baking, vegetable preparing, meat cooking, breakfast and serving. All the equipment needed for each of the five basic jobs is contained in individual units so the cook won't have to run from one end of the room to the other for missing pans and spoons, "It's just like learning where the clutch and gears are when you learn how to drive a car," explained George Englesmith, professor of de- signing at the U of T and founder of the newly organized Association of Canadian Industrial Designers, All units have smal] cold storage spaces included in their many com- partmen's, The meat and baking units have specially designed ovens, and the serving compartment has a series of warming ovens to keep meals piping hot until dished ou} on the attached breakfast nook. All table cutlery and dishes can be placed on the table with only a movement of the arm, whereas in the average kitchen it requires at least six steps. Mr. Englesmith said the self-con- taining units could be mass produc- ed in pressed steel and enamel, FITTED OR FLARED New York---What's behind the us- val broad term "coats, suits and dresses" this season that gives them individual distinction? Coats offer a choice, They may be fitted or flared | and still be very much in the mode. There is a definite swing of the pendulum of fashion away frcm the coat which flared tentlike all around, to a more sober version of the same thing. This is straight in front, but its back flare continues, subject, however, to a nice strong back belt. This type of coat is us- vally deep pocketed and double or single breasted, but its collar is like- ly to turn up snugly around the throat and make a foll for a gay scarf. World's Ziniest Loom In Operation At 'Ex' If you ever wondered how your living room carpet evolved, take a trip out to the Ex and a carpet exhibit in the Manufacturers' Build- ing. You'll find there the smallest loom in the world weaving carpets under a system termed Jacquard. The loom, carefully built on a scale of 1'; inches to one foot, is 62 years old. It took a United States weaver 10 years to construct in his spare time. At the exhibit, there are bales of raw wool from India and New Zea- land. Why not from Canada, you might ask--seems the sheep in the other two countries are tougher from the hills they are required to climb to get at focd, and wool for carpets has to be tough. A carding machine in the early stages of the processing straightens out the wool. In a spinning frame it is made into single yarn, then it be- comes two or three-ply yarn in a twisting frame. After the wool is made into regular skeins, it is put into a dye vat, and from there is wheeled on to bobbins and set into the Jacquard loom, With thousands of working parts, the loom on exhibit is an exact re- plica of the grandfather looms used in carpet factories. Sixty per cent of the work is done on Jacquard looms, employing two men apiece--one to weave and one to keep the 1,280 bobbins fitted up. Before a «man begins to weave a yard of carpet he has to tie 1,280 knots of wool--and just that' many were tied in the mecdel loom before operation began on the tiny carpet being wven. Most expensive carpet produced by the firm had a pile of 1% inches Average depth of pile is around 3 - inch.

Hollywood Highlights By BOB THOMAS Hollywood,--(AP)--George Raft, who has waxed philosophical these days, still talks of chucking the movie business to tour the world. By this time, you have probably learned to take stars' retirement talk with more than one grain of salt. Fred Astaire and George Brent are among those who have said they were quitting, and both are still treading the sound stages. But Raft seems semi-serious about his intent. His words: "I've always said I'll quit picture business before it quits me." Although Raft pictures have al- ways drawn well at the box office, he is worried about the future. "With film business the way it is, you've got to have star names to draw the people in," he reflected. "I haven't been with a top cast for 10 years." "People look at one theatre and see Katherine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy, June Allyson and somebody else in someghing. Then they look at another theatre and see George Raft in something. Which picture do you think they're going to see?"

Add sugar and lemon to taste : ; : SALADA ICED TEA WHAT SHOULD 1 DO ABOUT Sending A Card of Thanks? Ey MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Here's a thought-compelling let- ter from a 74-year-old woman who lives in a famous New England city ...and her forthright words and brisk humor have the real flavor of New England. She takes a very deft stab at people who, when they are in mourning, are willing to accept kindness and all kings of thought- ful attentions, and then consider these goodnesses entirely thanked for by a newspaper 'Thanks Card"; Dear Mrs. Beeckman: I contend that, in a card of thanks published in a newspaper by the family of a deceased person, every- one who was kind to the family should be mentioned .. .That the published notice should never read, "especially (then mentioning one or two persons or a group of persons, perhaps a church or club group)" when, as a matter of fact, everyone has been equally kind and generous, I have heard so many people say, "We were just as kind, and really did just as much as the o..es 'espe- cially' mentioned." Naturally, they felt hurt. . .And I don't blame them! I also contend that the RIGHT way to express thanks for such kindness of friends, the ONLY RIGHT WAY, is to write a personal note of thanks to each and every person who made a gesture of kind- ness: tnat is, who sent a note or letter or telegram of sympathy, who sent flowers, or who did any other service to the family. I insist that it is not correct or even decent, to send a printed form of any kind to people who were so thoughtful, (I suppose I'm an all-around pest to people who don't have the de- cency to thank for good deeds done to them. . .as I am sure I am to people who write memorial tributes that aren't true. I hope that, when 1 die, my family doesn't write stuff about my "charming ways" and so forth. . .of course I know full well I'm not charming, but in fairness to my family, I must say they love re and tell me I'm "just grand.") And I should think your family would love you, think youre "just grand," and that they would tho- roughly enjoy your clear-eyed vision and pointed remarks about people and their ways, their right or wrong ways! You're oh-so-right in. your straight-from-the = shoulder com- ments on people who just won't take a minute to write the few words of personal thanks to everyone who has been kind and good and thoughtful to them, A Card of Thanks publish- ed in a newspaper (and even if it is published, individua] notes of thanks siiould also be written, even if these are delayed for some time) should, as you believe, make no effort to single out any person Or persons or groups to -be "especially" thanked. Naturally, as you say, this means that some very kind and generous friends will be hurt. And printed or engraved cards of thanks cannot possibly convey the personal thank that should be written for personal kindness, Thank you for your letter, dear lady. . .and keep up your good work | of Etiquette-ing! { Birthday Party to Be Given Before Birthday Dear Mrs, Beeckman: Would it be bad taste to celebrate my son's birthday two months early? My house is tco small to accommo- date all his little friends we want to invite. But if I could give the party as a lawn party while the weather is stil] warm, I could take care of them all most conveniently. --T. I. If your son doesn't mind not hav- ing the party on his actual birth- day, there is no reason why you shouldn't have it when it is most cenvenient, most fun for the liitle guests. But even if the plan is for a lawn party, there would have to be a "weather permitting" reserva- tion, and would't you still have te make alternative plans for an in- the-house party? Or, as I hope, it might be possible to make all plans for the lawn party with the under- standing (stated clearly in your in- vitations) of "in case of rain, party postponed to the next clear day!" "Here is a Charming Somebody!" By Mrs, Beeckman It is interesting to observe, in a group of people, people of any age, the ones who have the tendency lower the tone of the group, and those other people who, by the highly-sensitized quality of their spirit, elevate the tone. It is not that the people in this latter group are high-brow, not that they are humorless, not that they are not fun-loving. On the contrary, they are usually the ones who add to the humor, to the fun, to the general enjoyment of the group, When a person of this type joins a group, there comes the stimulating feeling of "Here is a pleasant and very charming Somebody!" (Mrs. Beeckman will be glad to answer questions submitted by read- ers.) HOUSEHOLD HINT Be sure to relieve the pressure on your wringer when it is not in use.
