SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1950 PAGE SEVEN THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE ~ OF INTEREST TO WOMEN -~ BEAUTY FOR YOU:- Hair Should H ave a Soft Look By HELEN JAMESON Women concentrate a great deal of energy and spend a great deal of money on their hair, what with shampoos, rinses, trims and per- manents. But more often the inter- est is in relation to the beauty of the coiffure rather than to the health and quality of the locks. It 1s right and it is sensible to make the hair appear attractive, but it is folly to overlook certain treatments that are necessary for its well-being. It responds to loving care and it should get it. Your hair is subject to ills e same as any other part of the dy. If it isn't kept beautifully clean and brushed frequently, it may surprise you by molting. One of the impregnable laws of nature is to exact a toll for neglect of any physical item. The hair is in no wise exempt. We all know women who never think of brushing their locks, hoping to make the fin- ger wave endure as long as possible. Brushing does not weaken the per- manent and even if it does cause ringlets to string out, it should be done just the same. If the hair is falling, it is especial- ly necessary to brush it. The brist- les cannot remove live shafts, only the dead ones, and the sooner they are out the sooner the little under- studies will appear to carry on. Dai- ly grooming helps the keep the scalp toned, the blood supply underneath enriched, and the hair in exquisite health, shining and lustrous. Two hair brushes are better than one; a stiff one for working off scalp scales and hustling up the blood streams, and a softer one for smoothing and ssing., You may go for a time without seeing any ill effects from the neg- lected scalp, but there, will surely come a day of reckoning if neglect continues through the years. Some women have a fear of shampooing the hair frequently, which is pretty silly. Retaining dust and atmospheric fifth, - dead scalp scales and the exudations of sweat and sebaceous glands, the hair is Two hair brushes are better than one, * + probably more unclean 'than any other part of the skin surface. No skin surface can be beautiful or healthy unless scrupulously clean, therefore the period between sham- poos should never exceed a fort- night. Careless shampooing does harm. The shampoo agent should fluff to a foam, There should be several ap- plications with brisk friction to distribute the shampoo medium. There is only one means of getting a thorough rinsing and that is by using a bath spray with a current of warm water strong enough to rattle your brains.

BUNDESEN, M.D. MUSCLE CRAMPS MANY people suffer from sud- den painful knotting up of the muscles of the legs. These muscle cramps may result'from a variety of 'disorders; hence, a knowledge of the cause must precede any attempt at treatment. A deficiency of calcium or lime salts in the blood is one of the common causes of muscle cramps. This lack of calcium may, in turn, be due to failure of the parathy- roid glands to make enough of their secretion. It may also result from insufficient intake of cal- cium, an excessive loss or lack of 'vitamin D. Loss of Chlorides Muscle cramps may also occur when there is a loss of chlorides from the body due to excessive vom- iting or the taking of too much of an alkali preparation, such as baking soda. Excessive sweating and diarrhea, as well as failure to get enough salt, may also cause muscle cramps. They occur in diseases affecting the nervous system, such as pa- ralysis agitans and epilepy. Mus- cular cramps may follow exercise, chilling, and muscular fatigue, Muscle cramps occur especially in elderly persons during the night. Recently, a number of thee patients were treated with am- monium chloride, a drug which in- creases the acidity of the body. This is given in tablet form, three times during the afternoon and evening. It was found that such treatment was effective in pre- venting these cramps in three- fourths of the cases. The treatment is carried out for from two or four days and is then stopped until the cramps recur. When the treatment is success- J ful, it is found that the patient is free from cramps for a period of from three to 28 days. When they recur, the treatment is again ad- ministered. No ill effects were noted in the patients... However, continued treat- ment should be avoided in pa- tients with kidney disease or those who have some other condition which may lessen the amount of alkali in the blood and tissues, for the degree of acidosis produced by the giving of ammonium chloride may result in an excessive or dan- gerous acidosis. d Those who suffer from muscle cramps will do well to consult with their physician concerning this type of treatment. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS L. C.: I have hunger pangs no matter how much I seem to eat. What could be the cause? Answer: This may be due to ulcer of the stomach, to excessive acidity of the stomach, or to low blood sugar. Increased acitlvity of the thyroid gland, as well as dia- betes, may also cause this condition. You are in need of a thorough study to determine the cause be- fore treatment can be advised. War-Orphaned Child Adopted by Women Prince George, B.C.--(CP)--Pre- pr dinner for a child is some- (thing which many women do each day. But a lot of food and prepara- tion was needed when six women of this community did just that re- cently. They had a dinner for a conven- tion and raised $45 from the pro- ceeds. With the money they tem- porarily adopted a war-shocked child in Europe. The dinner money was put to use through the foster- parent plan of the Unitarian Serv- ice Committee gf Canada. To date some 2,500 children have been "adopted" by individuals and organizations in Canada under the Unitarian plan. For $45 a European child can be kept for three months in a home operated by the church's international committee. The homes aim at providing good food, warmth, cleanliness, clothing and affection. When children orphaned or aban- doned through war have to stay in the homes for more than three months, the additional costs are met from the general fund of the Unitarian Service Committee in Ca- nada.

Relaxing in the steamy atmosphere of a warm bath will freshen the complexion. * THERE are times when even the prettiest girl can't bear to look in the mirror, she is so dog-tired, played out and wilted. She has been tearing around all day and the best beau is going to take her out to dance and she feels that she looks as old as the hills, She needs a beauty bracer, a pick up treat- ment. If she can spare an hour, a presbo-change will 'take place, a magic restoration. First, a warm bath to take the weariness out of her bones in order to make the nervous system stop troubling her. Before getting into the tub she should remove make-up with cream, have a second creaming, leaving plenty of the emollient on her skin. An oily cosmetic and steamy atmosphere will bring love- ly coloring to her cheeks, freshen her complexion. She should relax in warm water. She should close her eyes and the door of her mind, do a mental flop. » LJ A cold shower and a brisk rub down will rouse the blood streams, help them to dispose of fatigue bugs. A fraction with a fragrant bath tonic will give her even more energy and a sense of restoration. With a cold compress over her eyes she should lie down for half an hour, thinking of nothing. Let us hope that she can give herself plenty of time to array her- self for the merry evening so she won't appear flustered when the best beau arrives. She would be wise to ise a found- ation cosmetic before laying on the powder and other toiletries that come out of the make-up box. 'A good foundation means that she will not have to patch up her cosmetic scenery during the evening, can feel serene, know that she looks tip-top. A suggestion of eye shadow, a touch of perfume and our girl awaits the suitor. Mothers and Tots Make Din. Together New York,--(CP)--Mothers and their pre-school tots are getting to- gether to study music, dancing and painting together in new courses offered by a number of schools in New York. The rhythmic din you hear in mid-morning from a studio at the New School is likely to be one of the parents-and-children music classes at work--the mothers sing- ing with spirit as the wee ones beat an accompaniment with drums, bells, tambourines and assorted rat- tles. The leader, Mss. Reba Paeff Mir- sky, explains it this way: These children are too small to attend regular music classes, Ideal- ly at this age the mother should be the teacher, but many mothers don't know where to begin and it is for them that this course is plan- ned. During the 12-week course the' mothers and children learn to- gether such simple instruments as the psaltery, auto-harp, xylophone, chimes, pipes tonettes and record- ers. They sing together, dance apg learn simple musical games. In the People's Art Centre at the Museum of Modern Art parents work along with their four and five-year-old children at painting and clay modelling. Extra classes on child development are given for the parents only, » "Children today are being in- troduced to art in a very different manner from that in which most of their parents were traiined," said Victor d"Amico, director of the school, "As a result, parénts are so baf- fled by the work their children do thot tliey either overpraise or make fun of what is to the child an im- portant creative effort." HOUSEHOLD HINT To keep plastic curtains soft, wash them in milk, thick suds and rinse well. For the final rinse, add about three teaspoons glycerine to enough tepid water to immerse cur- tains completely. Dip up and down several times, then squeeze out ex- cess. water. Hang up to dry, smoothing out wrinkles and straight- ening edges. Oshawa Furriers New fur coats special from factory to Customer Remodeling and repairs your old fur coat to a smart new jacket.

Ava Gardner is a new standard for beauty in Hol- lywood, and the fashion magazines seem to dote on long-stemmed models. These developments must please Miss Greenwood, who has long grappled with the disadvant- age of being tall and female. "When I was born, a long girl- baby was extraordinary," she re- called. "I recently read a survey that said the average girl between 18 and 28 years is from five-feet- four to five-feet-seven. In 1900; the same age group was between five- feet and five-feet-two." "I've seen predictions that by the year 2000, six feet will be a common height' among women." Freedom For Women Miss Greenwood attributes the rise to increased freedom for wom- en. "They work at jobs that were once considered only for men," she explained. "They've thrown away the boned corset and the overstuff- ed fashions of yesteryear. They've learned about proper eating and ex- ercise. #They no longer hide demurely in the background. Nature gets a chance to take its course, and added height is one of nature's endow- ments." Miss Greenwood admitted she once wished she had been shorter. "When I was 12, I was five feet 10 and awkward as I could be. I suffered every time people laughed, because I was sure they were laugh- ing at me. ' "Then I learned making people laugh was a lucrative business. I capitalized on the gawky move- ments of my long legs and made a success on the stage. That cured my sensitivity. I haven't been sensitive about my height for 45 years." Capsule Review "Chain Lightning" (W.B.) is the first feature on jet airplanes. It is engrossing when the focus is .on flying but the plot never gets off the ground. The story is an uncon- vincing maze and the characters are never quite sure where they're going. Humphrey Bogart. and El- eanor Parker play the leads.

In The Community WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT :- Giving A Housewarming? By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs. Beeckman: There seems to be such a differ- ence of opinion about house- warmings! Some people insist that it is very poor taste for the own- ers of the house themselves to give the housewarming, that this party would be given by a close friend, or, even better, by a group of their friends. Others maintain that it is best form and best taste for the hosts themselves to give the house- warming. Which is really correct? --Frances L. Either is correct. . .but far more customary is the housewarming given by the house owners them- selves. As a matter of fact, most people consider it more appropri- ate, more dignified for the hosts to give the party that welcomes their friends to their new home. Then they give it when they wish to give it, they plan it as they wish to plan it, there is no bother of the apt-to-be-awkward "surprise". ele- ment, and there is no suggested "obligation" for the guests to bring presents, as is often the implied "shower" idea of a party given by the group of friends. Family Friend To Give Her in Marriage? Dear Mrs. Beeckman: (1) I am planning to be married soon, and as my father is dead, there is the problem of who is to give me in marriage. Would it 'be proper for a friend of the family to do this, or should I have one of my uncles? (2) Also would it be proper for me to have a girl friend as my maid of honor, rather than having the bridegroom's sister? Sarah H. (1). That depends, If the friend of your family is a man who has been particularly close in friend- ship and devotion, if perhaps he is your godfather or perhaps has taken an especially friendly and helpful interest in your father-less family, and if the uncles have not taken any special interest in you and your family, then I think you miglat give to the friend of your family this honor of giving you in marriage. However, your mother and the other members of your family should make the decision, for they know all the points of view that would have to enter, You should be most careful not to hurt the feelings of an uncle who has been so good and kind to your family that his feelings deserve to be respected and honored, (2) If you have no sister to ask to be your maid (or matron) of honor, you should ask the girl whom you really wish to have as your honor attendant on Your Day. Invite your girl friend if she is the one you wish to have... don't necessarily invite, your bride- groom's sister unless she also hap- pens to be your best friend. Present Necessary If Invited Only To The Church? Dear Mrs. Beeckman: I've been invited to a church wedding, but not to the reception. Is it necessary for me to send a wedding gift?--Elaine. If there is to be a large, or even rather large, reception and you are not invited, this would seem to in- dicate that you are not a close friend of either the bride or groom or of either family. . .and there- fore it would not be necessary for you to give a wedding present, However, of course, it is not incor- rect for you to give a wedding pres- ent if you wish to. It's that "wish to" that is the real answer as to whether or not to give a present, Club Calendar For Next Week MONDAY 1st Oshawa Mothers' Aux. Ladies' Hospital Aux. Re-Echo Lodge L.T.B.
