THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1947 PAGE EIGHT | BEAUTY FOR YOU -- Reconditioning the Hair By HELEN JAMESON Is your glorious crown having tantrums? It won't stay curled, it won't stay put, and there is no health in it. - Perhaps you have not spaced your permanents properly; there chould be a per- iod of five m¢iths between them, £0 there is a new growth to take the mechanized undulation. Per- haps you Jost your hair brush be. fore the war, haven't found it yet. Beauticians can bleat their heads off about the benefits of brushing, but the average woman will have none of it, Neglected hair will have a down-trodden look, no matter how beautifully it may be are ranged. When it loses lustre, it is not in a healthy state, Care less shampooing, that leaves de- posits of soap scum on the shafts, will send th. growth into a state of depression and invite dandruft to appear upon the scalp, Brushing with vigorous strokes is of inestimable value in restor- ing gloss and pliability to Qair that seems bent on going to seed. Tresses must be absolutely clean, of course; that rule is token for granted. The period between shampoos should not exceed a fortnight. By that time there will be an accumulation of dead skin scales, atmospheric dust and and exudations from sebaceous and sweat glands that must be removed. Start your conditioning treat- ment with the brush, Part the hair in the centre. Pick up a strand at a time, Slap the bris- tles of the brush on the scalp and sen] them through the lifted strand with a rolling motion, Use the bath spray with a strong current of fairly hot water to remove surface dust. Apply a liquid shampoo with a uniform rotary massage movement, send- ing fingers and thumbs over the head with plenty of pressure, lifting the hair so as to distribute the shampoo medium, . Work diligently along the temples and the nape line. When the suds are rich and thick, use the spray. Have another soap- l ! 2 off) ing. TB ing, another rinsing. Fill 'the wc hbowl with warm water, add three tablespoons of vinegar and slosh the water over your. head with a cup. Rinse again with the spray and dry the hair with a towel. So far, so good. Part the hair at various places, applying a little brilliantine along the partings. You can use an atomizer or a medicine dropper for this purpose, Now is the time when you are to give your scalp a good maul- ing, Spread out fingers and thumbs, Keep the fingers sta- tionary, press and lift the flesh with the thumbs. Do circles all around the hair line, as the hair is usually thinnest there. After fivs minutes, use the brush again. You are then ready to apply a wave set lotion and form pin curls, J HOT MILK CAKES Beat 2 eggs with rotary beater until light as a feather then grad- ually beat in 1 cup of sugar. Be sure to add just a little at a time and beat very hard. Sift 1 cup of pastry flour with 1 teaspoon bak- ing powder and % teaspoon salt and re-sift two or three times.

BUNDESEN, M.D. STOMACH CANCER PIAGNOSIS CANCER of the stomach is a cur- able disease, but only when it is discovered early enough and prop- erly treated. This means that all of us doctors and laymen alike--must be on the alert for its earliest signs and must be more wary, perhaps, than we would need to be if there were one simple, reliable test for cancer. Only by quick suspicion of every symptom that could indicate cancer of the stomach can we cut down the present dreadful toll taken by this disease--25,000 to 40,- 000 lives a year. Unfortunately, cancer of the stomach, in its early stages, may cause few if any, noticeable symp- toms. However, sooner or later there is some pain or discomfort in the pit of the stomach, loss of ap- petite, heartburn, sickness to the stomach, vomiting, loss of weight, and tiredness. More Severe Pain Of course, as the condition pro- gresses, the symptoms may become much worse with more severe pain in the pit of the stomach, vomiting of coffee ground-like material, great loss of weight, and blood not only in the stomach contents but also in the bowel movements. The patient be- comes anemic, that is, lacking in the red coloring of the blood. Since these symptoms of cancer vary so greatly any disturbance of the digestion in a person over 35 or 40 years of age should receive the prompt attention of a physician By careful studies, the doctor can, as a rule, tell whether or not cancer is present, In Advanced Stages The diagnosis of cancer in the ad- vanced stages is not difficult. Not only are the symptoms clear, but X-ray examinations show the pres- ence of a tumor growth. But then it is usually too late. X.ray examination' is the chief method of recognizing stomach can- cer in its early stages. Even though an X-ray examination is negative, it is not conclusive evidence that cancer is not present. Repeated ex- aminations should be made if there is any suspicion that stomach can- cer has developed. Another Method Another method of examination is the use of the gastroscope, an in- Sirument made up of a tube with a light that can be passed into the stomach through the mouth. With this instrument, the physician can see the lining membrane of the directly and determine whether any abnermal conditions are present. When cancer of the stomach is suspected, both an X.ray examina. tion and the gastroscopic examina- tion should be employed to make rsure of the diagnosis. Of course, the treatment for stomach cancer is an immediate operation and removal of the necessary portions of the stomach. With early operation, more than half of the patients with cancer of the stomach can be completely cured, accordnig to present evi- dence. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS | R.Q. I perspire on my back so much that the perspiration comes | through my outer garments. Is there anything I can do to stop this? Answer: All normal individuals do not extrete the same amount of perspiration. Some perspire a great deal: others tend to perspire but little. Drinking a large amount of water usually increases the amount of perspiration to some extent, There are certain abnormal con- ditions which possibly make sweat- ing more profuse. These include all chronic infections, such as tuber- culosis, or low-grade infections in the sinuses, teeth, or tonsils, Hyper- thyroidism, or increased secretion from the thyroid gland, is also a cause of excessive perspiration, The perspiration usually cay be checked but the physician must be consulted So that the cause ma; Sopa y be found and 7 No more dashing down to the store at the last minute!

Dance hall operators all over the country are singing the blues this season, because box-office receipts are hitting new lows. This does not alarm the contin- ent's No. 1 dance man. "It's only natural that things take a tumble after being at such a peak," Fred observed on the set of "Easter Parade," in which he is ending his retirement." "All fields of show buginess boomed during the war, Natural- ly they would have to suffer a reaction." Fred's interest in American dancing extends beyond his own film terpsichore: he is now in business, Seventeen Fred Astaire | dance studios have already been opened across the United States and more are due as soon as tea- chers can be trained, Hope Blunders Bob Hope was telling about his "No. 1 faux pas of all time," which happened to him during his European jaunt. He was rushed into a party attended by most of England's film stars and flash bulbs were popping madly. Bob found himself posing for pictures with two beautiful girls, one of whom he identified as Pa. tricia Roc. He turned to the other girl and asked, 'What's your name, dear " "Margaret Lockwood," answer- ed England's most popular movie actress, Public Choosey Talent, oddly enough, is going to be the most important commo- dity in the future in Hollywood. That comes from Mervyn Leroy, who began directing pictures 20 years ago at the age of 27. He adds: "From now on it's going to be a tight market. The public is shopping and only talent can make the good pictures that au. diences want, That means that a lot of people in Hollywood will be out of jobs." Leroy just finished directing "Homecoming" tnd he deserves to be a bit smug about the co- stars, His sharp eyes discovered a high school girl named Lana Tur- ner 10 years ago. He also direct- ed Clark Gable's first' test and sought the actor for a role in "Little Caesar." That was when Warner Brothers turned him down and made the colossal mis- take of believing Gable's ears off. set his other charms, Friend in Need Gets Big Reward Wanganui, N. Z.,.--(CP)--Twenty- three years ago Mrs. M. G. Taylor, of Wangani, was reading in the public library when she was ap- proached by a shy couple with a problem. They wanted to get mar- ried in the registry office, but had no witnesses and no friends. They asked if Mrs. Taylor would be wit- ness for them and she agreed, After the register had been sign- ed the bride said to Mrs. Taylor, "You'll benefit from this," but she never saw either of them again. Now, however, she has heard from the public Trustee, that she is a substantial beneficiary under their estate, Mrs. Brown said: "She told me that you told her the secret I told you not to tell her." Mrs. Green said: "Well! I told her not to tell you I told her." Mrs. Brown: "Dear me! Well, don't tell her I told you that she told me!" --H. L. Gee: Another Cheerful Day, (Methuen & Co.) WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT A Gift for a 'Certain' Boy? By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs. Beeckman: Mother and I are having a bit of an argument as to whether or not I should give a Christmas present to a "certain boy" who is a school. mate of mine and with whom I've had quite a few dates. I didn't know him last Christmas or in March, when my birthday is, so he hasn't given me a Christmas or birthday gift or any gift for any other occasion ... and Mother says that she read in your column that a girl shouldn't give a boy a present unless he has given her one. But I have a feeling that he is planning to give me a Christmas present, and I have bought him two "keen" wool ties, which I am positive he'll like. If you approve of my giving them to him, Mother says I may. How's about it, Mrs. Beeckman? Sallie Well, Sallie, here's the idea ... if you "have a feeling" that this boy is planning to give you a Christmas present, I imagine (just "imagine," you understand) that he may have (inadvertently) dropped a hint about this, and I think it's a good, practical idea for you to be prepared "in case" he brings you a present, You've chosen a gift in excellent taste; gift-wrap it attrac. tively, and have it all ready to give to him when he brings his gift for you, This will mean that he starts the gift-saving ... and yes, this is as it should be, and boys and men like to take this initiative. (Just in case he hasn't the Santa Claus spirit, don't embarrass him by giv- ing him the gift, but keep it until another day when it will be ap- propriate.) Christmas Card, From Grateful Patient To Kind Doctor Dear Mrs. Beeckman: I am puzzled about the propriety of the sending of a Christmas card to a doctor. I do not wish to in- trude, but I would so very much like to show my appreciation to this doctor who has been so kind to me. He is an outside doctor who comes into the clinic at the hospital where I went; he operated on me last September, and in January is to do an even more serious operation for me. Would it be proper for me to send him a Christmas card? If so, should. I send it to his house or of- fice? And what type of card would you suggest as appropriate? E. R. Yes, it would be entirely prorex for you to send this kind doctor a Christmas card, and indeed I'm sure he'll appreciate your thought- fulness, If he is married, send it to his house and addressed to "Doc- tor and Mrs. "If you are married, sign it with your and your, '| husband's name .., for example, "Elinor and Paul Ross" ... and if you think it is necessary for identi. fication, write under this signature (Mr, and Mrs, Arthur Ross.) Choose a traditional kind of card, perhaps one with a lighted Christmas tree cr a beautiful Christmas wreath, if possible one without a printed mes. 4 sage inside; and write, on the in« side page, "With every good wish to you for a Happy Christmas and New Year, and with deep apprecia« tion for your goodness and kinde ness." : Good-will ,,. Good Manners It's good to make an extra cone tribution to the spirit of good will these days by saying "Thank you" at least. twice as often as it is your habit to say it. Open your eyes and your ears ... and your heart! ... and become delightfully and delightedly aware of the thou= sand and one courtesies and kinde nesses that should be pleasantly responded to. Even in these busy days there's always time for cour tesy, for saying your appreciation, (Mrs. Beeckman will be glad to answer questions submitted by readers.) Cloth is Lighter But Just As Warm London, Dec.--(CP)--All over the world there is a noticeable tendency to make materials for women's dresses and coats lighter, without reducing their ability to keep the wearers warm, Experts in Britain's textile indus- tries' research laboratories are con- centrating on the- solution of this problem by new methods of treat- ing the yarn and new methods in weaving. They have succeeded al- ready in reducing the weight of new materials to two-thirds the weight of costomary cloth and the mater ials have become popular rapidly.
