PAGE SIX © Q THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE THURSDAY, APRIL 17, 1947 BEAUTY FOR YOU -- Treatment for an Oily Skin Commonest of all beauty vexa- tions is tne complexion that always looks as if it had been freshly but- tered. The sebaceous glands, ne- gessary to keep the skin from flak- | ing, are all out for overproduction, They go on spouting these little oil wells, defying the efforts of the wder pad to put on the dull fin- ry There is only one consoling thought; the oily epidermal coat does not wrinkle as early as the one. A young woman won't find much solace there, but older women will, The sensible thing, of course, if to find the cause. Easy! Too much fat in the diet, as any dermatologist will tell you, If you have a nose that shines like a good deed in a : naughty world, make a vow that you will avoid cream, pastries, and foods that are cooked in deep fat. Use butter sparingly on your bread. Clear scups are better for you than cream soups. Close your eyes when ou see a soda fountain; ice cream not your beauty dish. Begin the day with orange or to- mato juice, Every day have a green salad. Drink plenty of water. The daily bath with warm soapy water, and friction with a heavy brush, is helpful, It helps the skin all over the body to function as an organ of elimination. Olly cosmetics bring extra mois- ture to the skin surface. Use them sparingly;; never let them remain on overnight. One can apply a light cleansing cream for the re- moval of make-up, then have a soap and water scrubbing. Soap is a help, but every particle of the suds must be removed. The slightest de- posit on skin or hair will increase the oily appearance. After the bedtime facewashing, rinse with warm water, then with cold, and dry gently. Dissolve a teaspoonful of ordinary baking soda in a cup of warm water. Dab it on with pledgets of cotton, let it dry. ' In the morning use cold water free- ly to stimulate circulation and aa -- IN EIEEISIEl EEL Pann Don't forget that the real cure will be found in a fat-free diet. * * P bring good coloring, witch hazel. The compact rouge is more de- sirable than a creamy variety. Blend the application with powder. There is a difference in the consist- ency of these fragrant cosmetics. Some have an oily base, which makes them desirable for use on the dry skin; others are light and fluffy, flattering to the complex- on thas is inclined to carry a film of oil. But don't overlook the fact that the real cure will be found in a fat- free diet. There is a reason for ov- eractivity of sebaeous glands, it is found in viands that are rich in fats. No sauces, no dipping into the cookie jar, no cream. then apply The Mixing Bowl Hello Homemakers! From wash- ing dishes three times a day to the annual spring housecleaning, the everlasting cleaning goes on. It must have been observation of wo- man's endless attack on dirt that spurred manufacturers to make those perpetual motion cleaners. The vacuum cleaner is a real help during housecleaning. This ma- chine cannot pick up sharp objects but does take the imbedded dirt out of any fabric thoroughly, When you de-moth the clothes closet and remove the accumulation above window frames and doorways the attachments will do the work eas- fly for you. You may make mental notes of the above but the engagement of @& decorator should be done imme- diately by letter or phone in order that your schedule will be in ac- cordance with his time table. (Hope he will be able to keep his date, It is also time to select your wallpa- per and paint. Many people are reverting to the new versatile pap- ers for walls thus if is wise to make an early selection, and you can jot down the date to send the drapes and slipcovers to the cleaners so they will be back when your rooms are fresh. Witn all this done you can clean out drawers and cupboards. This Job takes time as you know and it takes courage for me to say this: be ruthless in disposing of the bits of "junk" that accumulate in any house. Care and Operation of Vacuum Cleaners To prove that a few minutes a day spent in caring for equipment will pay good dividends. Operation (1) Place the cleaner on the rug and with the handle in operat- ing position adjust the nozzle so that there is a small space between it and the rug. When the motor is turned "ON" the rug will come to the nozzle; if an agitator type the rug should vibrate just in front of the cleaner when the motor is turned "ON." Autematiz agitating machines do not require this at'ention, (2) Move the electric vacuum cleaner lengthwise of the rug, slow- ly. Each section should be gon2 ov- er twice in order to remove imbed- ded dirt. (3) Carry the cord in your free hand and avoid tangling it with furniture or cords (4) Turn off th2 motor if there is an intarruption --furnitu-e to b> moved, door tell to be answered, etc. ¥ "0 oe ays Rid the switch " ore pulli out the pl outlet. ne pe (6) Attachments should be used first. Care of Vacuum Clean-r (1) Before using the electric vacuum cleaner pick up ta-ks, pins and sharp objects, ds well as live matches. These may cut or burn the belt of a motor-oriven brush or they may puncture the dust bag (2) After each use empty the dust bag. Shake the dirt into a pa- per bag so that dust is not scatter- er again, | (3) Wind the cord loosely so that the fine wires inside are not damaged. Dust off the cleaner after each use.

Woollens not us- ed regularly in summer, but not stored, should be aired frequently unless treated to resist damage. To store, wrap freshly laundered ar- ticles immediately in strong paper and seal tightly with gummed tape. Or store in a well-madeq cedar chest. Several new fabrics are now labelled moth-resistant. Mrs. M, R. says: If you find rub- ber gloves difficult to wear while cleaning, it's a good idea to wear a pair of worn cotton ones under- neath.

BUNDESEN, M.D. EAR INFECTIONS EARACHE is so common, both in children and adults, that we should all learn a little about its sources and meaning. Pain in the ear may be due to inflamation of either the external or the middle part of the ear, but, strangely enough, it may also be caused by disturbances elsewhere, for example, as in the sinuses. In fact, according to Dr. Samuel L. Fox of Baltimore, about half the people who complain of earache have no diseased condition of the ear at all, but suffer from what is called "referred pain." : Canal Is Inflamed Certainly when the external ear canal is inflamed pain is sure to follow. Usually inflammation in this region produces what is known as folliculitis or infection of the roots of the hair in the area, In some cases of external ear infection, there may be a more widespread in- flammation. In either case the pa- tient has severe - pain in the ear which is made worse by lying on the ear by moving the external part of the ear. As a rule there is no interference with hearing in external ear infections. Examina- tion of the ear usually makes a de- ; finite diagnosis possible. In treating external ear infec- tions, Dr. Fox suggests that con- tinuous hot, wet dressings,be used. These will help to relieve the pain and limit the spread of the infec- tion. He also urges that a piece of gauze moistened with a mixture of sulfathiazole and urea in glycerine, be packed rather tightly into the ear canal at the beginning of treat- ment. Dry heat is applied over the ear and more of the solution is added with a dropper every two or three hours to keep the gauze wet. This treatment serves as a continu- ous wet dressing while 'the sul- fathiazole often helps to prevent the spread of the infection. Hair Root Infections If any of the hair root infec- tions come to a head they may be cut open and the infected material drained out. Unless they do come to a head, they should never be cut open as this will only tend to spread the-infection. Some physicians favor treatment of this condition also with ultra- violef~rays 'or with X-ray, This may tend to reduce the pain some- what and also to limit the spread of the condition. If the pain is is quite severe, some pain-relieving preparation may be necessary. Following the relief of the acute infection, an ointment contain- ing ammoniated mercury is used in the ear canal daily by the patient for at least a week to help prevent recurrence. The patient is also warned to keep the ear canal dry. Furthermore, he should have the ear canal properly cleaned by a physician every four to six months, as this may also help to keep the infection from coming back, Property Transfer Helps Marchioness From New York comes news of a huge transfer of property which benefits an English marchioness. Joseph P. Kennedy, former U.S. Ambassador to Great Britain, has transferred the principal ownership to his vast Merchandise Mart, sec- ond largest building in the world, to his wife and eight children. One-eighth of this £6,500,000 property goes to his wife, and each of his cuildren gets one-thirty- second share. One of these children is Kath- leen Marchioness of Hart: , who married the late Marquis at Chelsea Register Office in 1944. Four months later he was killed in action.

GLAMORIZING -- New Frocks Are Revealing By HELEN FOLLETT The current fashion emphasis is on decolletage, as in this revealing evening frock worn by Actress-Singer Bernice Parks. LJ * MADAME Fashion is putting emphasis on decolletage, not only for dance frocks, but pretty duds for dinner parties and play clothes. Your reporter also notes that sim- ple cotton modes for midsummer are pretty revealing. 3 All of which means that a girl must have neat shoulders, chest expansion that produces a real front, and breasts of pleasing con- tour. It looks as if the girls will be driven to calesthenics and exer- cise--even the lazy ones -- which won't do them a bit of harm, A Simple Exercise Here is a simple little stunt that will bring good results and is not exhausting. 8it in a straight-backed chair. Place folded fingers on your chest, do wide circles with your elbows, lifting them as high as ever you can, sending them far back, pull- ing hard on the muscles of the chest. No casual movements, mind you. During the forward move= ment, the elbows should touch. Do that circular swing fifteen times. LJ LJ Relax, hands on hips, take ten slow deep breaths; then at it again. Arm-Swinging Motion All arm-swinging motions, back- ed up deep breathing exercises, will tend to normalize the breasts. If they are under-developed, strengthened muscles will make them larger, rounder. If they are pendulous, the swinging back and forth will take up the slack in tis- sues that have lost tone. It often happens that the same exercise that develops, will also reduce. Aid the building' up process by light massage every night. An- noint the hands with cocoa butter. Send the palms and flattened fin- gers round and round the breasts with slight upward pressure. Be gentle always. Don't take a chance of injuring delicate glands. Every morning turn on the cold spray "right there." Be careful not to chill the hands. The idea is to stimulate the blood streams, send them rushing to the areas that are in need of toning. Clothing Needs Of The British A former member of the Britain Women's 'Voluntary Services now resident in Ontario has come for ward with some excellent suggest- ions on the types of clothing which should be sent overseas to help clothe the victims of the recent floods in Britain. 'While a member of the W.V.S. in England, she helped to organize the distribution of clothing sent to them by the Canadian Red Cross Society, and 'she has provided the central organization in charge of the cam. paign for British Flood Relief with copies of the instructions which were carried out in making that dis- tribution. In Britain, the clothing is divided into three categories for clothing ,(a) for men and boys; (b) for women and girls; (¢) for children under four years of age. The lists contain the following suggestions for garments which are found most useful by the needy people of Britain, and these are giv- en as a guide to the people of On- tario in making their contributions of clothing to the fund. Men and Boys: Suits, overcoats, raincoats, hieadwear,, trousers, jac. kets, shorts for boys only, sweaters, shirts, underwear, nightwear, socks, shoes, scarves, gloves, handkerchiefs and ties. Women and Girls: Coats, rain- coats, headwear, jackets, light dress- es, cotton dresses, sweaters, blouses, skirts, underwear, nightwear, shoes, scarves, stockings, gloves and hand- kerchiefs. Children under four: Outdoor sets, headwear, dresses, suits, wool= lies, underwear, socks, sweaters, di- apers, shoes, shawls, blankets, mitts and layettes. It is also suggested that in thou- sands of Ontario homes there Is clothing which has been outgrown by boys and girls, but which is still in excellent condition, and might be donated during the cam- paign. It is also pointed out that all clothing should be cleaned before being contributed, as it is desired to send articles that are of as good quality as possible, but which are also clean. All clothing should be first sorted out in the local receiv- ing stations, and the further sug- gestion is made that local churches and school rooms might provide ac- commodation for the work of sort- ing and elimination of useless art- icles. Where clothing requires Iceaning, it may be possible to enlist the co- operation of cleaning and pressing establishments in having this work done prior to packing. So far as food is concerned, pre- ference is expressed for stapie goods, particularly fruits and meats, and on no account should perishable foodstuffs be contributed.

The reputed fortune is reckoned at £200,000,000. And at the end of the meeting, with simultaneous speeches from people on tables, chairs, window ledges, and the floor, a fighting fund was opened to contest claims to the money. Pirst contribution was half a crown per relative, collected at the door as the family council broke up. When Robert Edwards left his farm at Pontywaith and went to America he settled at the mouth of the Hudson River. On the land which he bought with his savings grew up Broadway, Manhattan, and Wall-street. He wag a bachelor and it was thought that he died intestate--un- til workmen demolishing a building several years ago found a tomb and what was said to be Edwards' will, It left all to five brothers and a sis- ter in Wales, In answer to an appeal by 44- year-old Mr. David Needs, ex-sea- man and now a steel-erector, the family met. About 40 were expected, 250 turned up. Each branch of the family set up a committee, and then the complete family reassembled. After Mr. David Needs had said he was determined to go to America to "settle" the matter it was agreed that, in addition to the collection at the door, fighting funds should be set up by each branch of the family, JODE Annual Meeting Opens in Hamilton Hamilton, April 17--(CP)--Mayor Samuel Lawrence yesterday ex- tended a civic welcome to the 27th annual meeting of the Ontario Pro- vincial Chapter, I.O.D.E., which opened with the traditional pro- cession of standard-bearers and the resolutions of loyalty. Mrs. Lionel H, Millen said in an address Canada needs more people with pioneer spirit, vigor and re- ligion. "We must have a citizenry that can support and maintain British traditions and institutions, but must resist with all the power we have the infiltration of political elements owing allegiance to foreign govern- ments." She particularly urged that great- er effort be concentrated on pro- moting mutual understanding and tolerance. relatives of a Welshman who died || WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT -- Receiving a Birth Announcement? By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs, Beeckman: What with the big crop of babies arriving these days the following question is one very frequently ask- ed: "I have received so many birth announcements lately that it has become just impossible to buy gifts to acknowledge these. Do tell me, please, if it's necessary to send a gift when one receives a birth an- nouncement?" Mrs, 8. M.. No, it isn't at all necessary to send a. gift to acknowledge a birth announcement, not even, unless you very much wish to, to a relative or intimate friend. I do think that, un- der most circumstances, the an- nouncement should be acknowledg- ed in some way, say by writing a note of felicitation and good wish- es for mother and child. But send- ing a gift to acknowledge every birth announcement received is a strain too heavy for the average pocketbook. As a matter of fact, many moth- ers with a real sense of delicacy about such things hesitate to send out birth announcements, for al. though they very much want to have their friends receive the hap- py news as soon as possible, they are fearful that their relatives and friends will regard the birth-an- nouncements as bids for gifts. It is too bad that this charming bit of paper that announces the news that the baby has arrived is so often mis- interpreted as practically a demand for a gift. Invitation To Wedding Reception Must Be Acknowledged Dear Mrs. Beeckman: 1. My husband and I have recejv- ed an invitation for a church wed- ding and for the reception follow- ing the ceremony. On the reception card is engraved "Please reply." Does this mean that we should in- form them that we shall be present, or only if we cannot be present? 2. Also what about our sending a gift? I have always believed that when you receive a wedding invita. tion you are obliged to send a gift whether or not you attend the wed- ding. Is this correct? E C 1. When we receive a formal in- vitation to a wedding reception, we must reply as soon as possible, either accepting or regretting the invita- tion. There is a definite form for this reply, which should be written on the first page of double-sheeted which should follow the general spacing of the words on the invi- tation. This is the form for the accepte ance: Mr and Mrs, Henry Chatfield accept with pleasure Mr. and Mrs, John Lee Foster's kind invitation for Saturday, the tenth of May And this the form for the regret: Mr and Mrs, Henry Chatfield regret that they are unable to accept Mr. and Mrs, John Lee Foster's kind invitation for Saturday, the tenth of May 2. There isn't, and there really never could be, any "This you must do" rule about sending a wedding present, because whether or not you send a wedding present depends on whether or not you wish to send one, However, it is usually and quite naturally taken for granted that if you are a friend of either the bride or bridegroom or of either family and are, therefore, invited to the reception as well as to the cere mony, you will want to send the bride a wedding gift. But if you are only an acquaintance who receives an invitation to the church and not to the reception, or who receives only an announcement, you may or may not send a gift, according to your wish, THE HABIT OF GOOD MANNERS If you determine to make good manners your habit, they will be. come so natural that you can count on them in any situation.
