No young lady wants to il around with a face that looks af" if it has just been buttered. La- mentations are loud in the land from these victims of sebaceous that don't seem to know when enough is enough, if not .a t too much. Cl are pocaus 3 in te ; e ayers.

If the skin is oily, so are the and scalp. : np: of the largest of these glands are located in the flesh of the nose ard that is why the over-worked pd has more work to do there.

The fruit rule in Yreatiming of a shiny complexion is a dietary one. Butter, py pastries, all foods containing fats should be cut down o the limit. Chocolate is taboo. The > diet should consist mainly of lean meats, fish, poultry, vegetables, es- pecially green salads, cereals and fruit. The cream should be skimmed from the milk. Tough going, maybe, but the results are worth it. Soap should be used freely twice '+ day, but: every bit of suds must ' removed, first with a warm rins- +, then with a cold one.

The daily bath with soap 'sups and a heavy brush is recommended because it helps the skin to func- tion normally all over the body. Finish with an alternating hot and cold shower. But don't forget that diet is the main thing. § WHAT SHOULD 1 DO ABOUT Formal And Informal Name? ' By MRS, CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs. Beeckman: +47 was married recently, and have been following your various point- prs a8 to the correct use of my new name . . . when to use my formal "Mrs." name, and when to use my informal name. But I have several questions still about which name te use. (1) When I start a charge socount in a department store or any other type of store, what form of name should I give? (2) When I list my name as a member of a committee? (3) When I send my name for the mailing of a catalogue or something similar? (4) When I sign a guest book at a wedding (8) What form of name should I use in signing checks? . Flora B. ~4{1) When you start a charge ac- t, use your formal mame: Mrs. n Burton. (2) As a member of s committee, ilst your formal name: b John Burton. (3) Send the fname correctly used for mailing: Mrs. John Burton. (4) When you sign a guest book, sign your in- formal name: Flora Smith Burton, or Folra Burton. (8) Sign your in- name (registered with the ) to your checks: Flora Smith or Xo 8.

But in (4) and (5) your name is your signature, and your signa- ture is always (except when you sign a hotel register) your informal name. Two- Very-Young Flower Girls May "Steal The Show" Dear Mrs. Beeckman: I am planning to have a formal church wedding in a few months. There will be four bridesmaids, and four ushers. I would like to have two flower girls, both of whom will be four years old at the time of my wedding. Do you think they would be too young to be included in my wedding party Elaine. Four years of age is really, the youngest a flower girl should be. However, of course, it is not so much the actual number of years as it' is the child's habit of résponse to dis- cipline. For if two little flower girls are too young to understand what is going on, they are quite likely to divert each other's atten- tion and the attention of the as- sembled guests. You must be quite sure that you won't mind if the two so-very-young flower girls "steal the show" at yeur wedding! To be re- assured, some brides plan to have the two flower girls walk in- front of the maid or matron of honor, so that she can keep a guiding eye on their don't-stop-to-nlay progregs up the aisle. " The Bride's Family Represented In The Groom's Ushers Déar Mrs. Beeckman: My daughter is to be married, is having ushers only, no bridesmaids. She insist? that it is up to the groom to choose the ushers, his relatives and friends. Is that how it is done? How about the bride's relatives . . . are they left out? M. M. While it is true that the groom is the one who does the actual ine viting of the ushers, it is tradi- tional that, out of compliment to his bride, the groom asks a brother of the bride (or, if she has no brother, her favorite cousin) to be an usher. Sometimes he invites two of the bride's brothers, or 'her brother and a cousin. In other words, the bride's family should, if ble (and it usually is possible), represented in the number of | ushers. It is discoutteous of the groom not to make this gesture to his bride. Which First . . . A Diamond Engagement Rg or a Hope Chest? Dear Mrs. Beeckman: My boy friend and I would like to know which is more correct to | Yeceive first . . . the diamond en- gagement ring, or the cedar chest that is to be the hope chest? Betty. Since it is proper for the fiance to give his flancee the hope chest, it would seem logical that he first give her the ring that declares that he is her flance. However, if their engagement is announced, with or without a ring, he may then have the privilege of giving her a hope chest, if she wishes to have one and he wishes to give it to her. Please . . .

Hollywood Highlights By BOB THOMAS Hollywood,-- (AP)--Trigger-hap- py gossips again are rumoring a split in the Barbara Stanwyck-Rob- ert Taylor marriage, and the act- ress is denying the reports for the umpteenth time. The ca se of these recurring ru- mors, Barbara reasons, is her pen- chant for chai:ging houses like some women change their hair-dos. "Bob and I planned to build a house a year ago," she explained on "Tre T.ady Gambles" set. "But materials were so hard to get that we decided to buy the house we now live in. "Sue and Alan Ladd started a house this fall and it will be finish- ed in March without any trouble. So we decided to go ahead with the plans we already have. But we want to sell our present house be- fore we start." _ Barbara confessed that she has changed houses six times in their 10-year marriage, thereby creating at least six opportunities for the rumor mongers. "After a year in a house, I begin to get the urge for another change," she said. Director Irving Cuffimin| gs, p= pery film veteran, has been kKhown to toss his producer off his movie sets. It's doubtful if hell do that on "It's Only Money." The produc- er: Irving Cummings, Jr. This particular business relation- ship seems to be working well, al- though the father-son angle is sometimes forgotten. "I go to his office and tell him I Need 150 extras," said Pa Cum- ngings. "Irving says I can get along with 50. I say, 'Get me those 150 extras or I'll sock you in the chin.' So I got along with 50." Christmas Decorations Highly Inflammable Before you deck out your home for Christmas, check your decora- tion plans to make sure they will be as safe as they are festive. Highly inflammable Christmas i greens and decorations introduce extra fire hazards into a home during the holidays. To minimize these hazards, here are a few simple precautionary rules for the decorators to follow: No. 1 warning is: Don't install your Christmas tree in front of the fireplace. A safe place for a tree, engineers caution is a corner away from a fireplace and out of range of flying sparks. Another warning is not to use cotton or paper to decorate a tree. An equally decora- tive wrapping recommended for the base of a tree is non-flammable aluminum foil. Because cut trees ary out rapidly after they are set up in a heated room, you are advised to keep your tree outdoors until a few days be- fore Christmas. Another sugges- tion from engineers is to use a live tree which is packed in dirt and which will stay fresh throughout the holidays or place tree in a receptacle containing water. After decorations are taken down, a live tree can be planted outdoors. If you plan to hang wreaths in windows, eliminate any plans for using lighted candles nearby. If you wish, you can illuminate a wreath with an electric bulb but the bulb should be placed so that it is at least six inches from cur- tains or other flammable materials. If hanging stockings await Santa's visit, attach these to the top ledge of the mantel. This is to keep them out of the way of sparks from a fire which should be pro- tected by a metal screen. Before you string up Christmas lights, check all wiring for signs of fraying which will need to be re- paired. Don't try to plug four or five strings of lights into one out- let or you may overload your elec- trical circuit to the point of blow- ing the fuse. g 7 Fern for Beauty The new design that's all the rage!

If they are normal the lucky lady must keep in perfect form. If the figure has an inclination to expand, she must get busy. The feminine shape can change for the worse in no time at all. Pleasing curves can get out of hand. . In the summer time one is likely to have outdoor exercise of one kind or another. Winter comes. In bad weather walking does not appeal. There are more social festivities, when the little cakes are passed. More food, less exercise, and you know what happens. Take time by the cowlick, lady. If you have a pleasing silhouette don't let over- indulgence in the good things of the table add poundage and ruin attrac- tive lines. Do you know that you can get chest and arm exercise when brush- ing your hair? It is a fact. Stand tall, chest lifted, tummy held in. Throw the head back, brush from the forehead to the nape line. With that backward movement, chest and | breasts will lift, the muscles of! the upper arms will be called into play. Head lowered, brush from nape line to crown. Let the brush go down Delicious, Easy-to-Fix Orange Rice Dessert THat top-top of tHe meal, called the dessert, is an important part of the pleasure of eating. Sometimes it involves making a cake or a pie which leaves a lot of dishes to wash up. But it can come easily as this Orange Rice. It can be served hot or cold. at the option of the cook and those who sit and eat. We know better than to say "it's good for everyone" but without a murmur it's casy to see that rice plus a fresh fruit, -such as oranges, combines delight in taste plus that untalked of but nice-to-know-about addition of treating those important bodies of ours ... well. Besides that, this is the grand ending for a meal that's not too rich for the young or the adults of the family . . . perfectly satisfying for all. Orange Rice Two cups fluffy cooked white rice; three oranges, peeled and divided into segments. Place the cooked rice in a serving bowl and cover the top with orange segments and then with lemon sauce. Fluffy White Rice Put 1 cup of white rice, 1 tea- spoon salt and 2 cups cold water in a 2-quart saucepan. Cover with a tight-fitting lid. Set over a hot flame until it boils vigorously. Then reduce the heat as low as possible during which time the water will be absorbed, making the rice delicious- ly tender. Remove the lid and per- mit the rice to steam dry to the desired consistency and the grains will be separate and fluffy. Never stir rice. But do lift rice gently with a fork when testing for con- sistency. ' Lemon Sauce One level tablespoon cornstarch; 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind; one- half cup sugar; one cup water, Cook the above ingredients to- gether until clear . . . it takes about five minutes. Take from the fire and add the juice of one lemon (about two tablespoons) and two tablespoons butter or margarine. Mix well and pour over the rice and oranges. . We like it warm, but it's good cold too . . . a matter of taste we would say. 302 DESCENDANTS Boutilier's, Point, N, S.--(CP)-- Nova- Scotia's oldest living grand- mother, Mrs. Amos Stevens, re- cently celebrated her 96th birthday.

BUNDESEN, M.D. PAIN IN NECK AND SHOULDER Who is there among us who, at some time or other, has not had a pain in the neck and shoulders, extending into the arms? This is a condition of relatively frequent oc- crrrence. It would seem that there is a variety of causes for pain of ti.is type. In general, these causes may be divided into two groups, those which are visible in the| X-ray, and those which are not. The X-ray will show such condi- tions as cervical rib, which is an extra rib coming from the upper part of the spine. It will also show abnormal bending of the spine, arthritis, or inflammation of the Jj. ints in the spine, or the protusion of a cervical disk. Cervical disks are bits of cartilage between the bone at the upper part of the spine. Hence, one can readily see the value of taking X-rays when these condi- tions exist. Pressure on' Nerves Among, the conditions which do not show in the X-ray is one known as scalenus anticus syndrome in which there is pressure on the nerves and blood vessels by a muscle known as the scalenus anticus muscle. Defehts in posture and rertain nerve disorders also are not shown in the X-ray plate. It is believed that one of the most rommon causes of pain in the neck and shoulders is bad posture, parti- cularly sagging and drooping of the shoulders. This causes tensiog or pulling on the nerves coming from the spinal cord, as well as on the blood vessels. Upper Bones Arthritis of the upper bones of the spine may be another cause of symptoms in the arms. You can see that the exact treat- ment which should 'be employed in these cases depends on the cause of the difficulty and that self-treat- ment may be dangerous. Certain cases require operation. Fortunately, however, the majority of patients may be treated by other measures and do not often require confinement to bed. On the other hand, if there is a pronounced sp>sm of the muscles of the neck and shoulders, it may be necessary to have the patient put to bed on a firm, flat mattress. The application of heat and gentle massage may speed up relaxation of the muscles : nd, relieve the pain. This is par- ticularly true in patients with arth- ritis of the spine. + Small Pillows If it is thought that the condition is dug to the scalenus anticus syn- drome, the patient should lie with small pillows under each shoulder. This causes relaxation of the mus- cles of the upper part of the chest. What most patients do not seem to realize is that pains in the neck and shoulder may also be due to poor sleeping habits. That is why the patient should sleep with the arms a' the side of the body, and avoid moving the arms away from the body as much as e. In all patients, relief of the symp- toms is speeded up by a course of active muscle exercises to strengths en the muscles around the shoul- ders. The patients also are in- structed to hold the upper part of the spine erect with the chin in, and to overcome the forward droop- ing of the shoulders. So you see much can be done to give relief once the cause is found. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS S.H.: When I rise, after sitting or lying down, I feel dizzy. What would cause this condition? Answer: This condition is not un- usual. Probably it is due to a drop in the blood pressure, which lasts only for a few moments. A condi- tion of this type is not serious. However, a thorough stutly should be carried out,by your doctor. Most girls think less for them- selves than of themselves. Drawing, Quartering There will' be no more drawing and quartering of prisoners hanged for high treason in Scotland, That's official. The penalty is one of those abolished by the Scottish Criminal Justice Bill just published. In justice to Scotland's justice, let it be hastily added that the abo- lition of this and other outmoded legal penalties is only a formality. But fugitation, or outlavry, one of the ancient penalties to be ended, is not so obsolete as some may think. In fact, sentences of out- lawry have been passed once or twice a year for the past 10 years. Another peculiarly Scottish pen- alty to go is "corruption of the blood," which prevented the inherit- ance of property by descendants of a man condemned for treason.
