"| see young girls drunk. Yet I have {seen this many times during my visits to this country. At resorts in British Columbia and Alberta most of the heavy drinking is. done by youngsters in their late teens and early twenties . . . What makes it even worse is that the whole thing is done with such an air of slyness and secrecy." Mr. Melchior continued: "I come of a race which is famous for its good living. I like to eat and drink. It aids in the digestion of my food. In my native Copenhagen you can go into a restaurant and order any- thing you want to drink with your meals. In spite of this drunkenness is practically unknown, y "Here in Western Canada, drink- ing is treated as a tolerated vice. You buy your liquor in a govern- ment-controlled store and carry it away as if you had stolen it. - "Is it any wonder that such an air of 'stolen fruit' glamor has arisen in connection with drinking in your country? The government's striet control of liquor is simply in- viting abuses of the habit. Why don't those religious organizations which clamor for prohibition realize that by repressive measures they are defeating their own purpose?" SHOPPING DAYS LEFT CHRISTMAS SEALS The Movie Column "By HELEN BANNERMAN Canadian Press Staff Writer ry A documentary of great inter- est to many Canadians is being shown to private audiences in a number of cities but has not yet been given general release. 'New Faces Come Back," the story of the treatment and rehabilitation of servicemen who have been bada- ly disfigured, tells its story by following the case history of an | Then R.C.A.F, man who is badly burn- ed in a crash, Made by an R.C.A.F, Overseas Film Unit, the picture records the progress of the injured man through the long treatment ne- cessary to restore his physical ana mental health and his re-intro- duction into society. It ends as he ; sail for home, / Although the film was made to help the Canadian public under- stand such cases, it has been con- sidered too disturbing for general release. Chips Ratforty, hi Australian actor who is generally billed as "The Australian Gary Cooper" | has arrived in New York from visit in Toronto for the premiere of "The Overlanders," a feature picture with the force of a docu- mentary, in which he stars. The film is the story of a band of men who took 5,800 head of cattle 2,000 miles across Austral- fan scrubland and mountains when a Japanese invasion threat- ened in 1942. Nearly all the act- fon is out.of-doors with emphasis on breath-taking. scenery. The scorching of the earth, swimming crocodile-infested riv- ers, rounding up wild horses and breaking them in to replace the animals which died, and the stam- pedes of cattle which happened in the original trek were reprodu- ced without faking. Daphne Campbell, an Austral- 'ian nurse during the war, plays the feminine lead. The American woman has a greatér life expectancy than the American man at every age level up to 100, when the expecta: exacts ly coincide--two years and two weeks for both, WHAT SHOULD I bO ABOUT-- Addressing Yule Card Envelopes By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN "This is your name . . . and this is your address . , . and I've written them both as carefully and as handsomely as I can." This is & fine ideal to have in mind as you are addressing the en- velopes of your Chrstmas cards. your envelopes, that bright and. end first im- pression they should make and that you should want them to make. Their pleasing faces will "smile" your Christmas greetings to your friends even before your Christmas cards "speak" your Christmas tings. Your envelopes are personal things, and should be personable things. They carry your handwrit- ing, characteristic of your welcome and heart-warming to your friends. If you are careful about your own grooming, the chances are that your envelopes will be carefully groomed. But if you are carelessly groomed, the chances are that your envelopes will be carelessly pr? iB sloppy appearance. Tllegibility gets you nowhere . .. . and too often gets your letters ex- actly the same place! "Address your Christmas envelopes plainly" is the annual and ever-hopefuyl plea of the Post Office Department, And it is particularly practical advice this year when the Post Offce Pepart- ment is again swam) with over- seas mail and strug with a manpower shortage and lack of ex- perienced employees, Your careless- ly addressed envelopes may very well mean (1) that they will tind themselves languishing among the millions of other letters that are annually sent to the Dead Letter Office, or (2) that they will unne- cessarily and wastefully be detour- ing the country in an effort to find out what wou meant by some of the illegible or abbreviated words you wrote in the address, So be wise « + + + Write carefully, legibly. Be sure you have the correct ad- dress, and that you write it correct- If you know, or can find out, the Postal zone number, be sure to use it, That is what it is for. Now concerning abbreviations. ] Abbreviations are not becoming to env , and particularly to Wife Preservers Cream cheese to which a small amount of orange juice has been added is an ex- cellent topping for gingerbread. A little white corn syrup may be added for sweet- ening if jaste demands. KEEP REGULAR NATURALLY Christmas card envelopes, which should not register the haste that is registered by abbreviations. And abpreviating is an unattractive hab- it that you get over in no ir you set your mind on it. It takes only a second or two. to write a word in full .... just about as long as it takes you to make the period after the abbreviation! And what a difference in the appearance of your envelopes. Also, abbreviations are the chief source of mishaps to envelops. Es- pecially the abbreviations of names of states. Perplexed post office at- tendants scowlingly try to figure out whether careless Carrie or Charlie means to write N.Y. or N.J.; Mo. or Me. or Md.; Ariz. or Ark; Neb. or Nev.; Cal. or Col. Honor the names of the states by writing them in full . , , . this is good form, good taste, good sense. North, South, - East, West also should be written in full and capita- ized in the names of states, cities, streets: South Carolina; West Ha- ven; East Ninth Street. Keep your pen'right on its way and, instead of abbreviating, write out Street, Avenue, Road, Square, These address-words, written in full, add to the good-grooming of your envelopes. On your envelopes, Mr. and Mrs. are, of course, abrreviated, But write "and", not the sign of and (&) in Mr. and Mrs. Give honor too to the first names of your friends. Write the names, not initials. Write James (not Jas.) ; Charles (not Chas.); Richard (not Rich'd). And no nicknames on en- velopes, please: 'Elizabeth (not Betty). And always a title betore 1 make | Mrs., Mr., Miss (even for a very young girl) Unnecessary curlycues often cause misreading No need for "To" or "For" before the name, or for "No." before the street number, or for a comma between the number | and name of the street. No need for a comma either before or after the sone number, which should be written after the name of the city, not of the state Never use "City" or "Town" or the name of the borough as an ad- dress. If the letter has to be re- addressed, this may lead to confu- sion. And on your letters and cards ad- dressed to servicemen, check and double check every letter and num- eral in the address. A good take-off makes a happy landing for your Christmas cards!

The health authorities suggest that if troubled with bad breath, even after the dentist has done all he can for oral hygiene, the sufferer should see the family doctor, as the condition may be due to some physical ailment, Embroidery combined with filet crochet makes this hoop-skirted girl one of the daintiest designs for lin- en, Nice for guestroom sets.

BEAUTY FOR YOU-- Facial Grimaces, Beauty Griefs BY HELEN JAMESON ; A lovely smile like Janet Blair's is good insarance against v 'nkles. Treating Jaundice In a Newborn Baby By HERMAN N, BUNDESEN M.D. THE mother of a new-born in- fant is quick to be alarmed. Any- thing the least bit out of the way in the baby's appearance upsets and worries her, Thus, if baby develops a condition known ag physiologic jaundice--as one out of three young babies may do--mother's sufferings. are likely to be greater than the child's, For this type of jaundice, though it appears like any other and is characterized by the satne signs--a greenish-yellow discoloration of the skin--is harmless and usually clears up without treatment in a week or 80. True, baby may be a bit drowsy when the disorder is at its height, and may eat poorly, but when it Sisappears he will suffer no bad ef- ts, Shouldn't Be Neglected This does not mean that jaundice in the new-born should ever be ne- glected or taken for granted. Far from it, because jaundice may be due to other and more serious con. ditions. For example, it may in some instances be the sign of severe in- fection which must be dealt with promptly if the baby's life is to be saved. Such an infection may get into the body through the na- vel and spread to the liver, The liver becomes enlarged while the veins in the skin of the abdomen are prominent and noticeable, The abdemen is swgllen or distended and the child is quite ill. The usual treatment for this condition con- sists of giving penicillin or one or the sulfonamide drugs depending on the germs causing the difficulty. Unfortunately, from time to time, a baby may be born with some malformation' of the bile ducts, The babies in such cases develop jaun- dice which usually does not attract attention until the second week of life." If the blocking of the ducts is complete, the babies' bowel move- ments are white in color while the urine is dark, due to the bile in it. Once a diagnosis of this condition is made an operation is usually car- ried out in an attempt to rebuild the bile ducts and overcome the difficulty." Prior to the operation vitamin K is given by injection under the skin because when there is mo bile se- cretion this vitamin is not absorbed. Nothing illustrates better than the various types of jaundice which may occur in the new-born the need for tareful medical supervi- sion. The jaundice may mean noth- ing, but on the other hand it may indicate a serious situation in which life itself is threatened and only careful study by a competent doc- tor can say which or determine what, in the individual case, ig the most effective treatment.

Furrows from nostrils to lip ends, Cultivate facial tranquillity; it is the , world's best Insurance against wrinkles and other evidence of birthdays. Many of the fibers of the human phiz are small and delicate, may be pretty nearly put out of business by the wrong tactics.¢ Keep pulling them down with doleful expressions and they i} late elasticity, They won't snap back. Smiling holds them up, makes them strong. That is why the woman with a happy na- ture and a jolly disposition is one up on old father ¥Yime. He will never overtake her though she lives to be 100. An Unhappy Face It is silly to register peeves and petulances on one's countenance, for every passer-by to read. And think what the family has to en- dure if there's a sour mug around night and day. It isn't playing fair to the human race. We all know the woman who talks all over her face. Those por- trait gymnastics fascinate and mad- den you. She pulls down' her lip ends to. signify disapproval. Lifts her eyebrows to denote surprise. Puckers her lips when she feels pouty, When she threatens a child with punishment she squints her eyes, as if to terrify him. Those vertical creases between the eyes are self inflicted, Just habit. Why create beauty griefs? Why spend money on cosmetics and facial treatments if you are a man- ufacturer of wrinkles? No magic can erase them if facial expressions keep digging them in. \ When a woman looks in the mire row her face is in repose, tells her nothing as to her appearance be- fore other people. She may be un- |. mindful of the fact that her face is cutting capers that are causing damage to the delicate tissues and epidermal covering, Let her get wise. Serve a Hot Dish On a Winter Day It is a wise homemaker who plans frequent meals around a hearty warming kettle of chili. Here is a dish that savors of old Mexico--fuli of plump beans and meat, combin- ed with the spicy goodness of on- ions, garlic and chili powder. Chili Con Carne is a dish to be reckoned with, especially when it is served with heated crisp rice cereal. To ac- company steaming bowls of Chili Con Carne, crusty bread and a toss- ed green salad are just right. Bread of the French or Vienna type is best, and slice the loaf--but not all the way , then spread the slices apart. and butter eacH one. Pop the whole loaf into the oven to heat through. For the Chili, dried or canned beans may be used. Red kid- ney, brown, pinto or large white beans are equally good.
