PAGE SIX THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE 3 SATURDAY, MARCH 29, 1947 BEAUTY FOR YOU -- Beauty Sleep Not Just a Term By HELEN JAMESON Youth must ever be going places, having fun. That's the natural impulse, A good many parents are also tearing around at a pretty lively rate, When gas- oline rationing was enforced, the young fry were hampered in their pleasurable pursuits. But look at them now! Always asking for the use of the family bus. Parties seem to start later than ever and last longer, Little daughter trails in at all hours. Mama and Dad do a lot of talking about the goings on of these youthful night hawks, But noth- ing seems to come of it. Is it pos- siple that some parents stand in awe of their children? Looks like t. : Youth has no ready ear for preaching, Old rogey stuff. But youth, as represented by the fe- male of the species, does heed the reflection in the mirror, Girls are not made of wire and fiddle strings, as they seem to fancy. Fatigue brings circles under their eyes, takes lovely coloring from toeir complexions, has a deplor- able effect upon nervous systems. Overtax ones strengtn, cut. down on sleBping nours, ana the good- looks rating will gradually be lowered. Don't curl your imper- tinent nose, Sweet Sixteen, We are telling .you facts which, it you are as smart as we all know you are, you will consider import- nt. . We wouldn't think of asking you, Pretty Dear, to give up your fun and your parties, but to Umft them and not let them wear you down. It is senseless to let any- thing interfere with health, es- pecially while one is still grow- ing. One grand spree a week should satisty a girl. She should make it a rule to pile into bed before ten o'clock every night; nine-thirty is even better. She should start her homework dir- ectly after dinner, not listen to the radio and chat endlessly over the telephone with her pals, then bring out her books and pencils when the adults are already Dtrbuent be Kw Loss of sleep will take the light out of bright eyes. * +b Will Sweet Sixteen please lis- ten for just a minute? The hu- man body is a marvelous motor. During waking hours the strength generator is gradually running down, The central nervous sys- tem {isn't as steady as in the morning hours. Every cell is «crying out for rest. It is during sleep that energy batteries are recharged and growth goes on, The entire sys- tem has a chance to recuperate. Repair work is made, Even the heart .rests, to a certain extent. Loss of sleep will take the light out of bright eyes." It "slows the step. The brain is not as effic- ient for study. The skin may take n a grey cast, No roses will bloom in the cheeks, With sub-standard health, one is particularly suspectible to colds and infections. 2ND BROWNIE PACK, L t, Miss Wilson, and enjoyed by all.

BUNDESEN, M.D. PICRIC ACID FOR BURNS EVERY mother of a family will dread accidents less if she learns how to take care of minor injuries. One of the most frejuent of these is mild burns and if a few simple facts are kept in mind, such in- juries can easily be cared for at home with a minimum of trouble and worry. Of course, severe burns should al- ways be treated in a hospital when- ever possible because they are dan- gerous to life and far too serious for amateur handling, When it comes to the ordinary mild burn, there are three things to think about: first, to keep the skin intact or unbroken whenever pos- sible; second, to avoid infection, and third, to relieve pain. According to Drs. Saul Malkiel and William C. Boyd of Boston all of these goals can usually be at- tained by painting mild burns with a solution of picric aricd. Gener- ally where the burn is slight, the skin will be intact at first. The pleric acid will serve to keep it this way since it hardens the skin enough so that it does not have a tendency to break. The parts of the skin which are likely to be exposed to rubbing can be further protected with a light, Sf, Serie gauze dressing. Picric acid, too, is a mild antiseptic and also serves to deaden pain. These physicians never have seen an infection develop under unbro- ken skin which has been treated with the picric acid. Within thirty minutes after its application in the case of minor burn, all pain has dis- appeared. Ointments Not Advised Drs. Malkiel and Boyd do not ad- vise the use of any kind of oint- ments because they tend to soften the skin which, in turn, may cause it to break and thus lead to infec- tions. They have also found that burns treated with picric acid heal fairly promptly, in fact, more rap- idly than some treated with sulfa- thiazole ointment. Picric acid, on the other hand, cannot be used for large burns because it tends to cause the skin to contract and thus might interfere with the -circula- tion, For this a thick paste made with baking soda and water can be used until a doctor is available. Blisters which form as a result of a burn, when covered with picric acid, generally do not break open. Thus the fluid in the blisters is re- absorbed into the body and there is no loss of such materials as pro- teins and minerals which are pres- ent in the fluid. In cases of large burns, much fluid may be lost fnom the body and this must be replaced. Usually this is done by giving in- Jections of blood plasma, or the fluid part of the blood, into a vein. When a burn is treated with pic- ric acid the damaged skin generally remains until new skin has devel- oped underneath it.

L J * Perhaps you are about to toddle to the cosmetic counter to buy fra- grant fixings for your spring com- but There are many offerings. What ones should the beauty-stalker select? First the powder. It should be slightly darker than the natural skin tone to give richness to the epidermal surface. If the skin is inclined to be oily, a power of light consistency will prove best. For the dry portrait, there are powders that have an oily base. Fussy About Lipstick One must be fussy about the lip- stick. Next to the eyes, the mouth is the dominating feature, espe- cially these days when its portals carry a load of rosy pigment, Lip- sticks come in an endless array of colors. The safe guess is one that is close to the natural coloring of a is blessed with good circulation. Rouge should be slightly lighter than the lip smear, belong to the same color family.

A light touch, carefully massaged in- to the flesh, starting and stopping at precisely the right spots, will im- part a sweetly mysterious air. But a dash too much and the result is fatal. There are colors galore from which to choose. French blue seems to be the favorite of blondes and brunettes. Faint green is elegant on the red head; it brings out the loveliness of her fair, transparent skin and flaming thatch. For the white haired lovely, mauve tones are flattering. Colors to avoid are browns and greys. A few deft touches of mascara make the average eyes look lovely.

Department, ADMISSION FREE! Ike's Super Soup His "Top Secret" Washington, March 28 -- (AP)-- General Dwight Eisenhower's "top secret" is out. He likes to cook. Last summer he put up jars of sauerkraut from grown in his garden at Fort Meyer, Va., but his "piece de resistance" is vege- table soup, ' The United States chief of staff is modest about his achievements in leading the Allies to victory in Burope, but when it comes to vege- table soup, he admits he's good. He declines to give his recipe. He believes he has kept it a secret even from Mrs. Eisenhower. Some gum-shoeing, undertaken to locate somebody who has sam- pled Eisenhower vegetable soup, disclosed that after hostilities end- ed in Europe, the supreme Allied commander decided to celebrate by inviting some military friends to dinner. The host would prepare his specialty--vegetable soup. This reporter interviewed a per- son who was a guest at that dinner. "Was the soup good?" Answer: "Damn good!" ; 9 t wag it like?" Answer: "Thickish." "What did it have in it?" Answer: "Lots of things--everything. Come to think of it, it had just about every type of vegetables we had had in the mess in & month." . Under pressure, this source said "frankly, I think his soup is a sort of hit-and-miss proposition." "You mean. it doesn't always turn out good?" Answer: "No, I mean it scmetimes turns out dif- ferently. I guess he puts in it whatever he has at hand. "What he tries to achieve is taste --'palate,' I believe you call it. The soup has got fo taste just right to him--or something else goes into it." "What else does he serve with his soup?" Answer: "Nothing. You don't need anything else. It's fill- ing." "Does the general cook his soup for a long time--hours?" Answer: "Hours?" No, for days! It takes days and days to fix that soup." British Children "Too Restrained' Brantford, Ont., March 28-- (CP)--Schoo} chums in England 15 years ago, Mrs. Frank Hop- good, wife of a Brantford con- stable, and Miss Joyce S. Linton, exchange teacher from Bedford, England, recently met here, Mrs. Hopgood, although Can- adian-born, has spent some time as a resident in England where she met her husband, then serv- ing with the Canadian army. Miss Linton has been a teach- er for six years and began her career just outside London, Lat- er, she taught at Leicester, She thought British children were "too restrained" and that a barrier seemed to exist between them and their teachers, Canadian teaching systems and home and school associations, she said, "are a great asset." "On the other hand, I believe the English system of compulsory physica] education for every stu- dent is more beneficial than the system here where 'PT' comes only twice weekly."

CORNELIUS BEECEMAN Dear Mrs. Beeckman: I'm disgusted with something my sister has done, and I hope you will back me up in my point of view, (She knows I am writing to you about this), She is eight- een years old (I'm three years older) and until a month ago has been going about with a very fine young man whom we all li- ked very much. He gave her quite an expensive friendship ring . . . I imagine she wangled it out of him with the promise that she'd consider accepting an engagement ring from him later, when he was able to afford one important en- ough fof "Her Royal Highness," as my father sarcastically calls my sister. Having gotten the ring, she changed her mind about the friendship with this nice boy, re- fuses to see him or to speak with him on the telephone, refuses to make any explanation to him, and . , . refuses to return the ring to him, Mother and Dad and I think she should return the ring, What do you think? Elinor Well, in the first place, your mother and father shouldn't have allowed her to accept the ring, for jewelry is too important a gift for a girl to accept except from a man to whom she is en- gaged. Apparently your sister wanted the ring to add to her collection of gifts to display and brag about. If her sense of right- ness or decency can be appealed to, she should return the ring and at once; if not, your mother and father should take a firm hand and demand that she return it. I hope this nice young man realizes how lucky he was that he -got the brush-off before he started saving his money to buy "Her Royal Highness" an engage- ment ring! Courtesy In a Restaurant Dear Mrs, Beeckman: __ __ ____ My brother insists that when he takes a girl to a restaurant, it is the duty of either the head- waiter or the table waiter to help the girl off with her coat. But I'm very proud to be with a man who "takes over" this service, who before he takes his own seat, goes behind my chair and helps me off with my coat, and also when we are ready to leave the table helps me on with my coat. Which procedure is correct? Doris The procedure you admire, which is the procedure that all girls admire, is the proper one, the gallant courtesy from a man to his woman guest. The Semi-Formal Wedding Dear Mrs, Beeckman: - Because I want to keep down the expenses of my wedding, but still have as lovely a church wedding as possible, I am plan- ning to have a semi-formal wed- ding. Would it, then, be neces sary for me to have the church decorated? And would it be ne- cessary to have an aisle canvas? (1) For a semi-formal wed- ding the floral decorations for the church are simple, very often only a few white flowers on the altar. (2) Since for her semi- formal wedding the bride wears a trainless dress, it is not neces- sary for her to have an aisle can- vas, When a Girl Stays On . « And On and On! Dear Mrs, Beeckman: I know that when a girl and boy are out together, say in a dine-and-dance restaurant or In the house of a friend, it is the girl's privilege to suggest the time for leaving. But, Mrs, Beeck- man, what is a fellow supposed to do when he's out with a girl who never seems to get tired of danc~ ing, who never seems to want to leave to go home? Such gals are a "social problem" to a fellow who, like me, hag to get up early and work hard all day! sob 0 Well, Boh. when a girl gives no signs of homeward thoughts, a man is certainiy justified in ta- king the departure-question into his own hands, explaining to her how early his alarm clock must go off in the morning! "How's about our leaving soon, Clarissa? I've got a hard day coming up, and that old alarm clock has a way of going off on time... and early!"
