My Neighbor Says: When baking only one potato do not light the gas oven. Save gas by baking the potato on an asbestos plate placed over the gas burner on top of the stove Cover the plate with a small saucepan. If you want hot biscuits in a hurry, mix them a little thinner than usual, and drop them from a spoon. 'This saves rolling and cutting, and they are just as palatable. Meat and fish that are to be fried should be kept in a warm room a short time before cooking and wiped as dry as possible. If cold it decreases the tempera- ture of the fat so that a coating is not formed that prevents the fat's soaking into the food If you wish the crust of bread to be crisp, set the bread away to cool without covering it. DIET AND HEALTH g3 Diet Backslider. “You and I are old friends, although you probably don't know it. I have iived by your Diet and Health, with Key to the Oalories, for about five years and, altogether, have taken off at different times 50 pounds. From this you may know that I have been a frequent backslider. “Did you ever have all your teeth taken out at once—24 of them? It is very hard on the will power after- ward. I was so sorry for myself that 1 put on 16 pounds in four months. I have now lost nine of them in the last three weeks, and expect to be free from the last seven before long.

Theoretically, it should make no difference when you take your calorles, and perhaps it doesn't if you stick to a certain regime. Alr Swallowing. “Why does a person swallow air? Is it dangerous? My sister suffers from this, alon¥I with a tight feeling or choking in her throat. Her doc- tor sald she would be troubled with it from time to time, and gave her no reason, and naturally she worrles terribly, thinking the doctor is keep- ing something serious from her. H." Swallowing air and tightness in the throat are both manifestations of the mental nervous disorder known as hysteria. You explain to your sister's doctor what her fears are, and he will help find the cause of her hysteria. It is probably something which hygie- nic living and thinking will overcome. “I don't know that I exactly approve of hootleggin’ as a profes-shun, but you've got to admit most of them have got a lot to bank on.” WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO BY MEHRAN K. THOMSON. I know only one man who does not seem to have a temper. I have known this man under all sorts of conditlons. 1 have Wintered and Summered with him but I have never seen him ruffled. He fs an exception I am sure. The overwhelming majority of human be- | ings have temper. Of course we do not all have the same kind of temper. Some have their temper pretty much under control and others let it get away with their judg- ment, while not a few apparently have Temper is usually regarded as an evil. But my calm and placid friend has taught me that the lack of temper may be a serious handicap. This man lacks the punch and pep that gives force and character to a normal per- ‘Temper, like all other inborn human 10 ISCOVERED! A remarkable new washing machine soap that speeds up washing, makes clothes whiter—and saves you money while doing it! A modern, labor-saving soap that replaces old-style granulated soaps and chips at less cost! This new soap is Super Suds. Soap in beads. Something entirely different from anything you've ever used. Different—because these tiny tissue beads are actually four times as thin as any soap ever made before . . . so thin they are traits or dispositions, is a necessary in- gredient of personality, but like any other ingredient there must be just the right amount—not too much or not too little, It is the abuse or the extreme display of temper that s bad as is the extreme of any trait likely to end in_disaster. Temper was more useful to our sav- age ancestors that it is to us, and yet we cannot dispense with it. Temper under control is like a dynamo. It drives the personality and alds one to make something of himself. We have temper because on ogcasion we need to be aroused from ou: indif- ference and really do somcthing vio- lent, something strong and effective, something that will call forth every ounce of strength in our body. ‘Temper is violent because it needs to be for the purposes for which it was intended. It is too useful to elim- inate or to let run wild. We need bet- ter and stronger tempers constantly under leash and harnessed to will and personality. (Copyright. 1928.) BEAUTY CHATS Your Feet. There is one thing a Summer at a quiet bathing resort has shown me— the quite disgraceful condition in which many women keep their feet. Hands are exquisitely manicured, hair is beautifully kept, complexion is well tended—but feet! The less said the better! And the sooner they are out of sight in shoes, the better, too. Yet the feet should be as carefully kept as the hands; in fact, if there is to be favoritism it should be in favor of feet, since they are abused by being shut away in leather cases for so many hours a day. Now, here are a few suggestions for making the feet really attractive, Once a week, cut each toe nail straight across with a pair of small sharp scissors. The big toenails should be given a slight V shape, the V point- ing inward. This preyents the tendency of the nail to straighten itself into a line again, pulls the edges out of the fle:’h and prevents a painful ingrowing nail. Then the nails should be cleaned un- der with a file and all foreign matter removed (of course the feet should have been washed well first with hot water). The dead cuticle around the edges of the toes should then be re- moved. If you are golng beach any more this Summer be sure to do this. If you have trouble getting rid of the cuticle, use the sort of cuticle re- mover you use on your flngers—in fact, in every way pedicure can follow the manicure. Rub the remover (there are | several kinds you can purchase) around | the edges and over the nails, too. Wipe |off. Clip any rough skin that the treat- ment may have brought up. Wash the toes carefully and then rub them with cold cream. This is necessary, because the removers all dry the skin. Some women put waterproof pink polish on, when they go swimming bare- foot. Mary Ann and Billle—After a day when you have been out in the strong sunshine, give the skin plenty of cold cream to make up to it the loss of o} and other secretions that have been dried out from the heat. If there is much soreness and the skin is red, bathe with witch hazel daubed over the barefoot on the | BY EDNA KENT FORBES skin with a small plece of absorbent cotton. If you do this every time you sun purn you will avold having & tan- ned %nd badly freckled skin over the Summer months. G. F.—M. D. B.—~When you purchase -our henna again, explain that you want a harmless brown coloring added to it—something that is not in any sense a dye. If you care to darken the henna shade so it will be less red and somewhat near brown, you can do thix with indigo. The proportions are about one-fourth as much indigo as henna mixed and used with the lather when you shampoo. M M.—At 17 years and five feet in height, you should weigh about 110 pounds. H. D. H—You should have the doc- tor direct your diet or prescribe for the | condition causing the pimples over this trying period when you are making ad- justments in your system. You need plenty of nourishment so do not. try to :hlrtu ddml\'n your diet without being ai- rected. BRAIN TESTS i il This is an association test.
