THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE SEVEN TUESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1946 BEAUTY FOR YOU-- | Complexions Subject to Change + BY HELEN JAMESON Did the fairy godmother give you lovely peaches-and-cream com- plexion? Lucky you! You have no need of the rouge compact! if you forget to ply the powder pad, it doesn't matter. Fine business But don't sit back with your hands fold- | ed and fancy that your blessing came with a guarantee for durabil- ity and fast color. You may wake up some sad day to find that some- thing has happened to the pristine facial covering. Be forewarned. Treasure what has been given you. Do everything you can to hang on to the fine texture and youthful coloring. Old Meanie Time is standing at your elbow," waiting to take some cruel cracks at you. There are devastating agents av work all the time. Atmospheric dust is one of them; during the day the human map can collect plenty. Dust wears out the skin as it wears out fine fabrics. It drifts into the res and dries the skin. If black- eads form, eruptions can appear. Therefore, the first rule of com- on care is cleanliness, scrupu- cleanliness, Not just a whisk- over with a soaped washcloth. Fluff up a richlather. Press it into the flesh with your fingertips. Most | men have good complexions. The reason is simple enough. They shave away the dirt along with their beards. To offset the drying effects of soap and harsh winds, it is neces- sary to apply oily 'cosmetics freely. 'The, older one gets, the more the flesh needs them. Don't tote home a fragrant emollient and then for- get it. Always, at bedtime, after the facial tubbing, rinsing and thorough drying, give the face, neck and hands a good buttering Force the cream into the skin by gentle friction. Pat briskly with flattened fingertips; that move- ment is better than the rotary mo- tion that the average woman em- ploys. Remove make-up with a thin cream when you want to make yourself a new face; then lay on the I) Fluff up a rich lather La J synthetic blush. When washing or creaming, get in-a little massage. It stirs up the blood streams upon which the skin lives and thrives and has its being. Professional treatments are de- lightful luxuries, well worth the charge. They give one a chance to relax, forget a lot of things one doesn't like to think about. One departs from the cosmetic fiesta freshened and buoyant. But, in the long run, regular daily care counts mare, so don't be neglectful. Remember that several glasses of water each day have a beneficial effect on the skin, keep it from dry- ing out. Sleep staves off wrinkles. Fresh air brings "good coloring. Keep well. Keep fit. At New Low Figure in Canada Child And Maternal Mortality Fewer mothers and infants died in Canada during the past year than ever before, according to the latest figures tfeleased by the Bu- reau of Statistics and reported this week in the federal publication, "Canada's Health and Welfare." Aocording to 1945 report, only 51 babies were lost out of every 1,000 live births and the maternal death rate dropped from the pre-war rate of 43 to 23 per cent. This brings child and maternal mortality to a new low. In the case of infant deaths there is an eight per cent. improvement over 1944. 2 improved rate is attributed p the fact that in recent years # mothers visited the doctor early in pregnancy and continued regular visits 'until the birth of their child; also, more mothers re- ¢elved adequate post-natal care. It is emphasized by the Division of Child and Maternal Health, De- ent of National Health and 'elfare, that while progress has been made' in Canada, it still lags far behind Sweden and New Zea- land's rate of 30 deaths in every 1,000 live births and the United States' record of 39.8. Attention is brought to the fact that 3,256 bables were lost in 1945 through prematurity alone--a cause for 30 per cent. of all infant deaths. This, like other causes of infant mortality, could be over- come to a great extent by mothers eating the right food during preg- nancy and having close medical supervision, Information on pre-natal and post-natal care can be obtained by writing to the Provincial Health Department, HEARING SENSE There is no reason why acute hearing should not continue into r'pe old age. The Department of National Health and Welfare, no- ting that nearly everyone is born with a keen sense of hearing, re- minds those who may suffer from earache or loss of this faculty, to consult the family doctor, Loss of hearing may be due to an ear in- jury, but is possibly associated with some general physical condi- tion on which only a doctor can advise, GIFT "CL AAAARAVAVAAAAAAAAAAAVRAAR ASSICS" for "the Lady of the House" TABLECLOTHS!

The United Kingdom statistics show that, in the first quarter of 1946, no less than 181,445 births were registered in Britain, which re- present a birth-rate of 17.2 per 1,000 population. From 1940 to 1944, the average for the first quarter was 15.7. Against this satisfactory figure, deaths totalled 155,153 or a rate of 14.8 per 1,000 population, whilst in the five years period mentioned above the average of 15.7 was re- corded, | In the second quarter of 1946, about 40,000 more children were born, but the final figure has not yet been released. A greater in- crease is expected for the third quarter of the current year.

The queen was Victoria Dobrow- olski, winner over 87 contestants in the 13th annual "Little Sister" beauty contest held at the Tomp- kins Square Clubhouse of the Boys Club of New York.

The languid lady with the dead pan- face will never make the grade no matter how lovely the complexion, how exquisite the hairdo, how per- fect the figure may be. She is a ket, the death!s head.

The Mixing Bowl Hello, Grandmother! We often think of you, so this week we are addressing the column to you It is cur sincere wish. that you are well and that you keep well this winter. Make yourself a cup of hot cocoa or hot soup in the mid-morning and again before you retire. If you will persist in getting up early, the long winter days can be shortened by snacks, which provide not only extra energy, but a rest period. s to your regular meals, you have many more years of cooking experience than we have so you 1eally know how to cook, but do not take tco much trouble. Take your work less seriously. Plain foods cooked in ways that make them easily digested are best. This means that fried foods, hot barbecue sauces, planked steaks are no longer on your menu, All meats | should be ground twice to make them tender--except, of course, fish and poultry. Fatty meats and greasy feed should be used with discre- tion. You are a champion soup maker. One of your old-fashioned sours can be the main supper dish. If you plan a fish dinner--steam it and serve with cream sauce to which you have added chopped hard-cook- ed eggs. Your vegetables should be baked two or three times a week. Gelatine and cottage cheese help to make finely chopped vegetables more appetizing. Desserts take a lot of fussing sometimes and the packaged ones will save you many steps, so use them and forget your pride, We aiways welcome yowy sugges- tions and appreciate you: interest in our coiumn. Hot Steamed Salmon Place rack in bottom of pan; fill pan with 1% to 2 inches water; cover; bring water to boil. Use 3 lbs. fresh salmon; tie in piece of cheesecloth; place on rack; cover tightly and steam 30 to 35 mins, Serve 2 lbs. of the samon hot with a sauce, and save the remainder for a salad. . Cold Chicken Banana Aspic 2 envelopes (2 tbsp.) gelatine, 4 cup cold water, 2 cups chicken stock, 2 tbsps. lemon juice, 2 cups diced cooked or canned chicken, 1 cup cybed banana, 2 tbsps. chopped tomato, 2 tbsps. salt, * cup diced celery: Soften gelatine in cold water; dis- . solve in hot chicken stock. Add le- mon juice and salt; chill until gy- rupy. Add remaining ingredients; pour into rinsed mould; chill in electric refrigerator until firm. Un- mould Serves 4 to 6. Serve with hot muffins. .

The Suggestion Box My grandmother's cook book is seventy-eight years old. I wish you could see it, and the clippings rasted on the back pages. An ad- town paper reads: "Cut out this ad. won't appear again -- 25 assorted cheice gladioli, 25 cents, Currant bushes, 2 for 5 cents." . The weights and measurcs will be interesting to brides from overseas: "One pound, 2 ounces flour is equal to 1 quart. Four large tablespoons are equal to 2 gill. Sixteen large tablespocns are equal to one-half pint. Ten pullet eggs are equal to 1 pound." "To wash carpets: Use 1 peck of potatoes for a large carpet; scrape them into a pail and let stand over- night in a pailful of water. Use a brush and scrub carpet with liquid. If brown in colour use juice of raw beef, too. When dry, brush with clean broom." "To restore frost-bitten plants: Pour cold water over plants, wet ting every leaf thoroughly. In this state place it in the dark, carefully | covered with newspaper." "To preserve autumn leaves: Place sprigs between two newspa- pers and leave with a light weight upon them until moisture has been absorbed. Then dip into wex which vou have melted over water, Take off stove. Add a few drops of tur- pentine carefully. Draw leaves into Fan to coat with wax immediately on both sides. If tco hot, leaf will shrivel; if too cool, it will harden too thick." "Winter sauce: One peck chop- red green tomatoes, two dozen large onions peeled and chopped, one dozen green or red peppers, chop- ped fine; salt, pepper, and spice to suit taste; one cup brown sugar, vinegar to cover; pour the vinegar over all boiling hot and bottle for winter use." "Egg Balls for Soup: Rub yolks of 4 boiled eggs to a smooth paste, with salt, pepper and tsp. of oil, to these add two raw ones, beat light, add enough flour to hold to=- gether, make into balls with flour- ed hands. Set in cool place until soup is ready to serve. Put egg balls in soup for 1 minute. Then ladle out with soup." Another old clipping reads: "Whether well-to-do, or in narrow circumstances you will hold that waste is sin, against yourself and the world, Stint nowhere in clean- liness, light and warmth and let what you have be the best and prettiest for the cost." In an old, old letter from Grand- ma's friend: "More disease comes into the world in the shape of tainted milk than anyone dreams of but doctors. We bring our milk to a roll-boil quickly three times and then cool it in running water." LR Anne Allan invites you to write to her care of Times-Gazette.

DEC. 14--3 P.M. Using Penicillin For Infected Throat By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. AS time goes on, penicillin con- stantly widens its field of useful- ness, Right now it seems likely that, in addition to its life-saving magic in heretofore fatal diseases, it will prove a great boon in banish- ing the host of nagging little infec- tions, which keep so many of us be- low par. Only a short time ago many peo- ple hesitated to take penicillin for these minor ' ailments, having heard that its use in this way might cause them to develop a tol- erance which would make penicillin useless In the event of some later, serious infection. Research Disproves This Fortunately, recent research has disproved this. Hence, today we feel free to use penicillin to clear up colds, sore throats, sinus infections and other such trouble makers. Properly employed under the direc- tion of a physician it is valuable not only in the first stage of a cold but in the secondary phases when such germs as streptococci become intrenched, causing the run-down condition associated with colds "SALADA TEA Dibfune which "hang on." Drs. Richard G. S. Meadley and | Harold F. Barnard of England have | recommended that penicillin in the | form of tablets or as a snuff be] used in the treatment of nose and throat infections. The snuff is used for nasal conditions. It is made up of penicillin in sulfathiazole It is| kept In a small bottle, the metal | lid of which has a hole for pouring. | A small amount is poured onto a piece of paper which is creased from corner to corner. The pa- tient holds his head back and holds one nostril closed with his finger. The snuff is then tipped from the paper into one nostril and the pati- ent sniffs it in. The process is then repeated on the other side The film of snuff-coated mucous secretion lining the nose is slowly carried by the little hair-like struc- tures in the nose, called cilia, to the throat and back part of the tongue. Penicillin=Still Present Tests made showed that from one to four hours after using the snuff, penicillin was still present in the throat secretion. The snuff can be employed together with the peni- cillin tablets which are allowed to dissolve in the mouth. This method of treatment was employed on a number of patients with nose and throat infection. It was found that the treatment bronught quick relief from symp- toms and no harmful effects of any kind were detected. The treatment was used in cases of streptococcus infections of the tonsils, and rapid cures resulted. Patients with streptococcal throat infections were cured in two days less than those who received other tyres of treatment, The treatment was also found useful in cases of trench mouth. It would seem that this is a simple way of using peni- cillin and those with nose and throat infections might do well to employ it, of course, under the doc- tor's directions. Girdles and foundation garments fit better and last longer if they are tubbed often. WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT-- Yule Shopping And Behaviour By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Christmas shopping should be one of the pleasantest of occupations-- selecting gifts to be presented on Christmas morning in an atmos- phere of shining Good Will. The stores are gala with festive Christ- mas decorations--brilliant Christ- mas trees, bright festoons of holly and other seasonal greenery, bene- volent-looking Santa Clauses. But many, top many, of the shop- rers, frantically pushing their way | about, elbowing one another, giving way to ill temper, snapping ill- naturedly at clerks, are pathetically out of key with the meaningful spirit of the decorations and cer- tainly with the benevolent-looking Santa Clauses. Jangling nerves instead of chiming Christmas bells! Of course I'm not going to pre- tend that milling around in the crowded stores isn't terrifically try- ing. But it certainly is possible for us to realize how much less so it can be if we will make some ef- fort to preserve our good humor and "mind our manners," It's the low in sportsmanship to take ad- vantage of a tired and harried salesgirl by snapping at her by pay- ing no attention to your turn, by blaming her for something that isn't in her province to provide or correct or change. It's no wonder we see weary clerks drop their stag-at-bay attitude and turn with relief and with grateful service . . . to the customer who has treated them civilly, with "sweet reasonableness", It's not surprising; it's only human, The surprising and disheartening thing is that so many people, in their frantic absorption in their own affairs and their own wishes and desires, should so completely abandon decent behavior--should so completely forget that courtesy be- gets courtesy, in small things as| in large. Try to go about your Christmas | shopping, especially your last- minute shopping, with directness, with thoughtful regard for those with whom you come in contact . . and with Good Will. And keep your stock of Good Will particularly ac- To help heal and clear up irrita- tions fast, use pure, emollient [QVRETAT] SOAP amd OINTMENT MOTHERS 22s Great for diaper rash, « chafing, skin irritation. tive and shining these days before: Christmas. Don't lock it in a seal- ed box marked "Not to be opened until Christmas!" GOOD MANNERS By Mrs, Cornelius Beeckman Signing Cards When Mother and Daughter Have Same Name Dear Mrs, Beeckman: How should a Christmas card be signed when the mother and daugh- ter have the same first name? For instance, should our' cards be sign- ed "John, Mary, Philip, and Mary?" Several friends of ours have sug- gested using "John, Mary, Philip, and Mary, Jr." Is this correct? A No, "Jr." is a masculine suffix; it should not be used after a girl's name. Since Christmas greeting oards would be sent to relatives and friends, I should think it wouldn't be necessary to "explain" the sec ond "Mary." Wouldnt it be under= stood that the Mary mentioned last is the daughter? If, however, Mary is a baby whose arrival is being an- { nounced by adding her name on | the Christmas cards, the names | may be written, "John, Mary, Phil- ip, and the new daughter, Mary."
