SATURDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE . PAGE NINE \ BEAUTY FOR YOU -- What Miss Pale Face Should Do By RELEN JAMESON It won't do to cherish the idea that you can dip healthy complex- jon out of jars and bottles filled with fragrant cosmetics. Toiletries have their use. Complexions in gen- eral have improved wonderfully, old man Time has been halted in his work as a wrinkle-maker, as the beauty campaign has been carried on during the last few decades. But cosmetics will not cure good-looks ills that are caused by disregard for the laws of health. There is the girl who has cold feet, fishy hands and colorless cheeks. If her brain clicks, she must know that these conditions are due to a sluggish circulatory system. It should be no hardship for her to manage to get a little vigorous ex- ercise out of doors every day. Or, if she can't do that, she ean stand before an open window, pump her lungs full of fresh air until her flesh is glowing. Any girl, able to locomote on her two little feet, can walk a mile or so each day. She won't want to, of course. Walking is not in her line. But it is one way of improving her complexion and her figure. Activity is a law of life. It is ne- cessary for the musculature and the well-being of the entire human machine; There is an old saying to the ef- fect that the blood is the living stream that turns the wheels of life. It is the heating plant that keeps the flesh warm. It distri- butes nourishment to every cell. It mends worn out fibers, is like a kind doctor making his rounds. It picks up wastes, finds means of disposing of them--through the stale air breathed out by the lungs, through the skin, the kidneys, the intestinal tract, all organs of elim- ination that must be kept active and normal. The little red cells in the blood carry oxygen all over the body. On the return journey they carry car- bon dioxide gas and the lungs get rid of it. out of jars and bottles. * bd There are little white cells called leucocytes. They are a standing army that fights germs. What we know as pus is composed of the dead bo- dies of both armies--the defenders and the invading bacteria. The proper treatment of sluggish circulation consists of exercise out of doors, deep breathing exercices indoors, quick cold showers, plenty of water taken internally. Five or six glasses a day are not too many. Improvement in circulation means brighter eyes, more colorful cheeks, a sunnier disposition, WHAT SHOULD 1 DO ABOUT Serving Glasses of Tomato Juice? By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs. Beeckman: Is it really correct to serve glasses of tomato juice in the living-room to luncheon guests? I have never seen this done before, but yester- day I went to a luncheon party given by a woman here who is known for doing everything well and in good form, and this was the procedure. The tomato juice was not offered as an alternative for, for example, sherry or other suit- able pre-luncheon drink. . .it ap- parently was inténded as the first course of the luncheon, since at ta- ble, no course was served before the main luncheon-course, Dorothy K. The service of tomato juice in the living-room before luncheon (he- fore dinner, too, as a matter of fact) is an entirely correct proce- dure, and quite customary with host- esses who do not wish to serve alcoholic drinks, or with hostesses who, for reasons of service or other reasons, wish to have the luncheon or dinner begin at table with the service of the main course. This tomato juice service in the living- room can be done with a fine air; good-looking and suitable-size glass- es, (each glass on a small plate or saucer, about the size of a bread- end: butter plate); small, sheer napkins; salted or bland crackers, always heated before being served; and the tomato juice interestingly seasoned, never over-seasoned.

We are not engaged, but have been going about together for just under a year. His family live quite near here, but he works and lives in a city a little farther away from here. I have never met his family, but his moth- er wrote inviting me to come to spend the next Sunday when 'he will be visiting them, and I have accepted the invitation. She invit- ed me also for the week-end, if I can plan to come for this longer time. My sister says' that I should take the mother a"gift when I go, and that I'should write her a bread- and-butter letter, even if I spend only Sunday with them. Is this ne- cessary? 1 don't want to do any- thing that would seem to be "run- ning after" either the son or his mother. Marie Your sister has good social judg- ment, obviously liking the pleasant amenities of life. I think too that it would be a nice thought for you to take some little gift to your host- ess, perhaps a box of special candy, or other package of sweets. And, under the circumstances of such especially kind and generous hospi- tality (since your hostess hasn't even met you) you should write a note of thanks to your hostess, whe- ther you spend only Sunday there or the week-end. Thank her for her kind invitation, for her hospitality, for the happiness you had being with her and her family, and in detail for any special plans the family made for your enjoyment. This would be ordinary courtesy to- ward a charming hostess, and could not be construed as "running af- | friendship with her. If later you with to. invite her to lunch or to lunch and a matinee or other occa- sion, this tov would he proper and a pleasant and appropriate gesture.

However, the term is often used to refer to a condition in which there is a breaking of the tiny blood ves- sels or capillaries or increased ease of passage of the blood through the capillaries, so that there is not only bleeding into the skin and mucous membranes but into other body structures. Apparently there are many forms of this disease. Some cases are due to acute infections. In such in- stances it is likely that the poison formed by the germs are on the lin- ing membranes of the blood vessels so that the blood may escape through them. Dietary Deficiency Other cases are due to dietary de- ficiencies. For example, in scurvy, which comes from a deficiency of Vitamin C, purpura or bleeding often occurs. Still another cause is allergy or over-sensitivity. Associ- ated with the purpura may be hives or fluid in the tissues. Probably the most important form of purpura is one known as thrombocytopenic purpura which is | associated with a decrease in the number of blood platelets. These are bits of tissue in the blood which play a part in the blood clotting process. This disorder 4s most com- mon in children and young adults, Women have it about four 'times as often as men. Bleeding into the skin is the most common sign of the dis- ease, In addition to the bleeding, there may be a rapid heart beat and slight fever. The spleen, in the left upper part of the abdomen, may be enlarged. The exact cause of this disorder is not known. Fortunately, many times the condition clears up with rest and a well-balanced diet. If a great deal-of blood is lost, it may be necessary to give an in- jection of whole blood inte a vein. If the blood loss is slight, the giving of some iron-containing preparation is helful. Some cases have been re- ported to have been gradually im- | proved by the giving of Vitamin E. The removal of the spleen is neces- sary in treating the more severe cases. The injection of small amoéunts of venom from some &pe- cies of snakes has also been helpful in some cases of thrombocytopenic purpura, When bleeding into the skin oc- curs, there is need for a thorough study to determine its cause before proper treatment can be carried out without delay. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS SM.: What causes hiccoughs? Answer: Hiccoughs are due to spasm of the respiratory muscles and diaphragm. It is frequently found in nervous individuals, but is not a dangerous condition, unless it continues and cannot be controlled. { rest, on one Digestive disturbances may be re- sponsible for the symptoms. It also appears in various nervous dis- eases. | Various things have been sug- gested as a cure, such as pressure over the phrenic nerve in the neck, drinking water, and holding the breath. When simple measures do not control it, a physician should be consulted.

POWELL'S DRUG STORE DISPENSING CHEMISTS j 1 GLAMORIZING How To Have Trim Ankles - By HELKN FOLLETT To make legs look slim, choose seam-free hose with a gusset heel in one of the new, dark shades. * Trim ankles are what every girl wants, The one who has them is justified in being -proud of them and, always, she is a graceful, dainty stepper. Maybe it is the pretty step- ping that keeps the ankles slim. Certainly the woman who plods along, who never exercises, can ex- pect that ankles, and calves too, will thicken. To have neat ankles, keep on your toes. Be fussy about the shoes you wear. Extremely high heels will cause these human hinges to do a side-to-side motion that is not a normal movement and which, in course of time, will cause the mus- cles to relax, fine contour to disap- pear. Wear your spikes at the gay evening party, if you must, but come down to earth during the day, wearing low heels or those of mod- erate height. Oné Ankle Larger Sometimes one ankle is larger than another. That comes from the habit of letting the body weight foot when standing. More havoc is wrought: there may eventually be a slight twist of the spinal column. The girl who walks, stands and moves gracefully is not only keeping up good appearance, but she is practicing a health meas- ure. To slenderize bulky ankles, lift up on the toes slowly, come down slowly on the heels. Walk tippy toe. Run up stairs. Jumping a rope is helpful, will reduce fatted calves.

Deduct 3 tablespoons of liquid for each cup of heney used. 1 1-4 cups of fruit sugar equals 1 cup granulated sugar. 1 1-2 cups brown sugar equals 1 cup granulated sugar. When a recipe calls for "one cup- ful" it usually means a standard eight-ounce cup. An ordinary tea or coffee cup will not produce sat- isfactory results.

Highlights By BOB THOMAS ------ Hollywood--(AP)--What happens 'when fame is thrust upon a man in middle age? "Well, it's not easy to adjust to it," declared 60-year-old Percy Kil- bride, the hawk-faced character who has brightened many a Holly~ wood movie, "You see, I've always been a soli- tary sort. I never cared much for parties, Oh, I belong to the Lambs Club, but whenever I drop in I usually just have a drink and leave. ve always kept pretty much to my- self." His quiet life continued the same as long as he remained a stage actor, but then he was brought to Hollywood for "George Washing- ton Slept Here" and immediately scored as & bucolic character. Many film roles followed and fans began to recognize him, "It was very hard at first to get used to people staring at me," he remarked. "I was quite uncom- fortable, but then I got so that I could become unconscious of the stares. "I had a following when I was on the stage, but they would leave me alone, Since I came to pictures, it's different. You see, I have no wife, and I'm alone much of the time, When people see you alone, they think you want company." ~~ Kilbride said he is often ac- costed on trams or in restaurants by people who want to meet him and want him to meet their friends. "Then I sit down with them and they expect me to say some- thing. funny." The mild-mannered actor indi- cated he preferred his solitude. "I imagine it's much worse for the really big stars," he added mod- estly. "I imagine that's why they have their own parties among themselves." Double-Quick Supper For Shopping Days A day away from home calls for a hearty casserole dish you prepare early and tuck in the refr'jerator for later baking.

Vacuum Cleaner, Carefully Used Will Give Lasting Service Have you bought a new vacuum cleaner recently? Or do you have an old one still giving good service? In either case, probably your cleaner represents a sizable investment. But its real cost lies in the way it stands up under use, and the length of time it does an efficient cleaning job for you. If an inexpensive cleaner has to be replaced in a few years, it may be an expensive investment in the long run. If a higher priced cleaner proves durable and efficient through many years of working life, it's actually an economical pur- chase. But the service your vacuum cleaner gives you is partly determin. ed by the way you use it. Treat it as you would any piece of fine me- chanical equipment. Look it.over regularly. When parts need to be replaced, have them attended to. at once. Call the local service depart. ment of the manufacturer. They will look your cleaner over, tell you what needs to be done and put it into first-class order. Usually the cost is only a few dollars. Then, check your working habits. The first rule is so simple that it is constantly overlooked! Empty the dustbag frequently. After each cleaning is an unbeatable rule. This is the reason: the dustbag is de- signed as a filter, The fabric must be porous enough to let air through and keep dirt in. When the inside of the bag is clogged with dirt, the airflow Is cut down and the suction of the cleaner greatly reduced. Most dustbags are of fairly large rize, not to provide a storage place for dirt-- but to give a large filtering area. If you have a cylinder type ciean- er, the size of the dustbag is much smaller than in the upright type. That means you should be sure to empty it after each cleaning, since the filtering area of the bag is smaller to begin with. One cylinder cleaner on the mar- ket has a patented device for empty- ing the dustbag, which means you need never reach inside the cleaner, take out the bag, empty it, and re- place it. Instead, first you remove one end of the cleaner by releasing a clin. Then turn the cleaner up on end on a newspaper. Step on a small lever, or operate it by hand. A mechanism inside automatically shakes the bag for you, depositing and leaving the dirt in a neat pile 1414 KING EAST For That Short Christmas Haircut and Permanent Wave COLLETTE Is featuring the short cut lengths shown in the latest fashion magazines.

The same survey revealed that an additional 23 out of every 100 children showed signs of probable malnutrition. Such facts should place a// parents on the alert! Everywhere, mothers--and fathers--are concerned 'with the present high prices of food. The situation demands clear headed thinking and prompt action. If you would help your family to gain the greatest possible benefit... WATCH THEIR DAILY DIET! Correct nutrition is more than an abundance of bulky foods--it calls for right foods in the proper amounts--dasly. Today, many women, of necessity, are inclined to change their food-buying habits because of spiralling prices. Many have had to' reduce their purchases of valuable protein food | like meat. But they keep up protein values by combining reduced quantities of such foods with milk. For a few pennies, milk can add extra protein to many dishes to help make meals more nourishing. f i An internationally recognized Professor of Nutrition, makes this statement: "Milk contains the greatest assortment of nutritive substances of all single food materials, and con- stitutes the foundation upon which an adequate diet can most safely and most easily be constructed." Remember! . . . for glowing health, every growing child should have 4 to 5 glasses of milk dasly. This is true, even when your children enjoy «// other nourishing foods.
