The skinny girl is as out of the picture as the one who carries around too much dipose tissue. ; 2 'This jdea that normal measure- ments are essential for style is a good one. Fashion is a powerful force for making the sisters look af- ter their health, have respect for the goddess Hygieia. « They'll work hard for the sake of an attractive appearance. It is probably the only incentive that will cause the light- weight to consume the kind of food that will build curves. One of her griefs appears in the form of prominent collar bones. No matter How skinny she is, she need not have them. Usually, they are the direct result of incorrect pos- ture. When shoulders are thrust for- ward, the head is lowered, Yhe spin- al column is not attending to busi- ness, and out pop those disfiguring little shelves south of the chin. Let her pull up her backbone, draw in her abdominal fibers, ex- pand her chest and they disappear. That should be a permanent pose. Certain exercises will strengthen the muscles of the chest, shoulders and back. With back muscles strong, posture will improve. "Here is exactly what happens when you evercise," says Dorothy Nye in her interesting book "New Bodies For Old." "Your mind or- ders\a certain part of your body to move.

RUNDESEN, M.D. TREATMENT OF ARTHRITIS SO many people suffer from some sort of arthritis and, unfortunately, too many of them are everlastingly trying some type of home treatment, so that when the doctor gets the case he often has to undo much of the damage that was done by this self medication. What all sufferers from arthritis should know is that the successful treatment of this con- dition depends to a great extent upon telling one type of arthritis from another and then using the measures that have been found most successful for the variety of the disease present. Arthritis means inflammaiton of the joints, but there cre a number of forms of the condition. For example, arthritis may de- velop in patients with gout. In ear- ly attacks of this disease, the gouty arthritis may be difficult to tell from other forms of acute inflam- mation of the joints. In such in- stances, givin the patients the drug known as colchicine may be helpful in making the diagnosis, since the colchcine will relieve the symptoms if the arthritis is due to gout, but will not bring any great benefits in arthritis due to other causes. Affected Joints In stubborn cases, X-ray treat- ments of the affected joints may be helpful. Other forms of treatment which have been found to be of value in reducing the weight to nor- mal and eliminating certain types of meat in the diet, that is, those which come from glands, such as sweetbreads. The use of the colchi- cine between attacks in severe cases may tend to lessen the severity and frequency of the attacks. Probably the most"common form of arthritis is that known as rheu- matoid arthritis, in which there is often some deformity of the joints. The cause is not, known, nor does there seem to be any single method of treatment which is successful. What it required is a broad pro- gram of treatment carefully ad- justed to each individual case, Warm Baths For example, heat may be applied by means of warm baths or an in- fra-red lamp to delieve the pain and stiffness. When the pain is con- trolled, exercises of the involved joints are helpful. Operations may be necessary to correct joint defor- mities. Mental and emotional dis- turbances should be eliminated whenever possible. Getting rid of infections in the teeth, tonsils, si- nuses, and elsewhere in the body is another part of the treatment, not because of any specific effect on the arthritis but because it will jmprove the patient's general health. Vita- mins and vaccines apparently have no great benefit, but may be useful in some cases. Treatment with certain prepara- tions of gold is beneficial in some few patients. The best results are obtained in the early active cases, in which destruction of the joint tissues has not occured. It must be borne in mind, however, that severe reaction to the gold sometimes of- cur. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS J. B.:Will penicillin overcome a stricture? Answer: Penicillin will have no effect in getting rid of a stricture. It might, however, eliminate the in- fection which produced the stric- ture.

This practice is particularly necessary Have a tiny brush for your eye lashes and eye brows. Better still, have two, in case you use mascara, so they can be washed frequently. Bath Brush Most Important is a bath brush. The skin all over the body is in a state of decay and renewal, dead scales shedding, new ones taking their place. The baneful B O clings to dead scales; only soap suds and brisk friction will remove them.

"Radio is in a stagnant situation," he told me. "The people don't like it and the ham on this er doesn't like it, either." The mammy-singer will become the third big star to retire from the air. Fred Allen says hell quit after next spring to write a book. Edgar mas, to "sit and look over the situation" until next September. "Bergen is right," Jolson declar- ed. "We work too hard, and for what? I'm making $5500 a week' on thesair show and I'm lucky if I can keép 10 per 'cent of it. Those capital gains, deals don't help much." He added that the weekly radio formula has gotten him down. "Every week Oscar Levant insults me, using words that I don't un- derstand--and I don't think he does either," he said. "It's a rut." Like "Bergen, Jolson said he couldn't figure how give-away and amateur shows can take listeners away from entertainment shows. Amateurs Maybe "Maybe I should do the same thing," he jested. "Maybe I should say, 'folks, 'I want you to hear a bay I discovered under one of my orange trees; hé plays a mean har- monica.' Then I'd bring out Larry Adler." Jolson said he'll quit radio after the present season, but he added a loophole: . . "I'd sign up tomorrow for less money if I could do a show record- ed on tape. "Doing a live show is murder. If you go wrong on a song, you can't say, 'Mr. Jones, let's play it over again,' When I have to stick to a script, my hands are tied, my mouth is tied and my kisser is tied.

CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs. Beeckman: I am a widow, my husband having died in March of this year. Iam in doubt as to' whether or not it would be correct for me to send Christmas cards this year, What is your ad- vice? £ ; R. H. Whether or not you d Christmas cards depends entirely on your own feelings. There is no impropriety in your sending cards this year, and your relatives and friends probably won't want you to send them if 'the effort of sending them adds to 'the strain you have been. through. On the other hand, if your spirit is so gal- lant and 'generously-friendly that you are inclined to forget your own unhappiness and to wish happiness to your relatives and friends, of course this is proper, and indeed it will be a deep inspiration to your friends. If you do decide to send cards this Christmas, choose ones of suitable design and mood, and send them only to relatives and intimate friends ... not to mere acquain- tances. Or, if you prefer, choose the cards with only the word "Greet- ings" on the cover, and on the blank inside pages write a message of a sentence or two: or write on plain white semi-note paper. Perhaps: "Greetings from my heart to your heart. And a devoted wish for your happiness at Christmas-time and in the New Year." Fiance's Mother Shouldn't Give Shower, Certainly Not Greenback Shower Dear Mrs. Beeckman: My son, who is engaged, is going into service soon, and while he is away his girl is going to live with her family. A group of my friends have suggested to me that I give a greenback shower for my son's fian- cee, but I am not at all sure if this would be the right thing for me to do. If it is, please tell me how I should go about giving it, for I have never been to a greenback shower, His Mother Your friends have not. given you good advice ... and I urge you not | to follow it. Instead, be guided by | your own instinct ... apparently it's right, for you yourself doubted the propriety 'of your friends' sug gestion. In the first place, it is not considered good taste for a member of the family of either the bride- to-be or the groom-to-be to give a bridal shower ... this gives the un- attractive impression that it is a very-obviously-planned gift-promo- tion. And in the second place, a shower invitation that asks for a "contribution" of money is lacking in taste afd grace. My suggestion is that you plan to give a tea or other late-afternoon party on a Saturday or Sunday, in honor of your son's fiancee, thus paying her charming compliment, and having the opportunity of introducing your Y relatives. and friends who haven't met her. Boys Prefer "Mr." to "Master" On Their Cards and Envelopes Dear Mrs. Beeckman: How should I address the Christe" mas cards I am sending to some young boys, several of them nephews of mine ... with "Master" or "Mr." before their names, or with just the name without a title? Alice &. All boys, no matter how young, like to have their letters and cards addressed to "Mr." (And I don't see why a very young boy shouldn't have "Mr." before his name, just as a very young girl has "Miss" before her name ... her title doesn't vary just because she is "very young.") Although "Master" is correct for very young boys, "Mr." is just as correct, and generally more accept able to the boy. ALWAYS, on an envelope or card, write a title before the name of a boy or girl ... it is rude not to use the title before the name. Word "Christmas" Means What You Make It Mean By Mrs. Beeckman To you and you and you it can ba a real inspiration" if you apply to the word CHRISTMAS the idea that Alice-in-Wonderland applied to all words ... "'That's a great deal to make one word mean,' said Alice in a thoughtful tone." CHRISTMAS ... a great deal to make one word mean!
