WOMAN'S PAGE. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. D. C., FRIDAY, MAY 17, 1929 MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEED%. g Milady's Arms and Hands. Bleeveless frocks for daytime wear ve added importance to beauty treat- ents for hends and arms. The skin on the hands often becomes prema- turely withered and old in appearance because it is so much exposed to dust and dirt and extremes of temperature. i{ot many girls think of using cream on eir hands at bedtime when they have hed caring for their complexions, yet the hands need such applications very much. The natural oil in the skin is abstracted by the water in which the hands are washed several times a day; hence the necessity for some sort of oily application. There are several simple but impor- tant rules for the care of the hands that will help keep the skin soft and white. In the firct place, do not use very hot or very cold water to wash the hands. Use water of a medium warmness When washing dishes keep the hands |out of the water as much as possible; wear rubber gloves and use a spray or mop. Second, avold using harsh, strongly alkaline soaps for cleansing the hands. A slight degree of alkalinity is necessary in a soap, but an excess is harmful to the skin. Pure castile is one of the mildest soaps, and may be used without hesitation on face or hands. The third point in the care of the hands is the regular use of a skin lo- tion or jelly after they have been washed, thoroughly rinsed and dried. The right sort of lotion keeps the skin smooth and pliable without making it sticky or oily. Th> fourth point is the nightly cleansing of the arms and hands with a cleansing cream. Massage the cream in well and then wipe it off carefully. Repeat the creaming and wiping again, then spread on a food cream. Wear old gloves overnight to keep the cream from rubbing off on the bed clothing. When cleansing the | elbows with cream mix a little pow- | dered pumice stone with it if the skin |is rough and much discolored, or rub | wi'lh lemon juice. Wipe off the cleans- |ing agent and apply your food cream, | which may be lanoline, coco hutter or a good commercial preparation. " In the morning the hands and arms should be rinsed in warm water and dried well. A liquid face powder may ibn patted on and spread around quickly Iwith the fingers. The dark shades of powder are popular just now on account |of the vogus for sun-tanned skin. Dust dry powder on last. (Copyricht, 1929.) OUR CHILDREN By Angelo Patri More Light. What the child who is afraid of the dark needs most is more light. When the sun dies down, all the familiar things take on unfamiliar shapes. That which was straight is now crooked, for the shadows play queer pranks with things. Memories of half-seen, half- forgotten things rise up to trouble the child. In the vague world of childhood all outlines are dim, and much of what is clear to dullness for an adult is darkly dim and ,mysterious to child- hood. The darkness is peopled with these vague impressions that seem to take on new life with the setting of the sun. There is little use in talking about it. The child sees things with his child mind that you no longer see. In fact, you have forgotten that you ever did see them. And strange. noises rise to alarm him. The’ creaking. of the loose hinge, the bump of a falling apple, the crack-crick-crack of the 'branches of the old apple tree call up weird fancies that you have long forgotten, though once they were real in your ears. Say no more about it. Fix the lights. At every dark turn place a button that can be d for iliumination or & lamp that can be lighted easily. At the foot of the long stairs, at the turn of the hall, at the head of the cellar stairs and at the foot have buttons or lights ‘Lgntthzchfldclntumonuhemedl em. Teach him to turn them off as he passes. If he learns to turn on light ‘when he needs it and to turn it off again when the need is past, he will have traveled a long way toward con- ering his fear of the dark. Dark- ness that is at the back of & button or mthetumo(aluv!mmm A night light on the head of a child's bed soon helps him charm away his night terrors. Nobody knows, - ingly, what frightens the child, but it is soon evident that a flood of light re- leves him. ‘Take care not to frighten timid chil- dren. Loud noises strike fear into the souls of children. Especially is it im- portant not to let any loud noises night. Sleeping children are shocked by sudden loud noises, and it is that kind of shock that bri on night fears. Strange voices cal 3 Vegetable Soups.

Turn on the light at once when any of them come unavoldably. It is not wise to force a child to go anywhere in the dark. Give him a flashlight; and if he is still unwilling to go by himself, go with him cheer- fully. And refrain from calling him “scare cat” and “coward” and “baby.” it he wants from you is more light.

The sad-eyed, quiet man, whose amazing ingenuity in make-up has made him of interest to more people of both sexes and all ages than any other Hollywood type, is the most reticent member of Cinemaland. Because he seldom talks of himself and never gives interviews, few people know he is rarely out of pain. An in- jury to the spine during his years as a contortionist has made life a thing of work and pain for Chaney. Lon Chaney has another interesting characteristic—hé never reads fan let- ters, If more Hollywood actors followed sult, the village would pick up artisti- cally. And it doesn’t take any gombéen man to ferret this out, either. A little Hollywood lady very much in love hears the gentie is taking out another girl. She dashes into his house while he’s shaving and tears up his trousers. Next time he'll probably buy a two- pants suit. -, Doris Anderson contributed a Riviera touch when she appeared at luncheon on the boulevard in one of the low-cut dresses of white shantung. Her broad- brimmed cloche of blond ballibuntl was of the most modish cut, and her e‘;&m colored neck and arms made a del contrast. Few observers watching this stunning, dark-eyed girl would realize that here was one of the most experienced and valuable women in_the motion picture profession. She's the type you find at Antibes, flirting and dancing and wear~ ing smart things in a smart manner. Few men in the profession receive as big a salary check.

What is the purpose of the gall bladder? Answer—Simply as a storage for the bile or gall. 2. If the gall bladder becomes in- fected, is it possible to cure it without removing 1t? Answer—It would depend upon the character and degree of the infection. Undoubtedly a mild infection will re- spond to correct medication and dietary treatment. 3. Is the removal of the gall bladder much of an_operation? Answer—It is what is known as a major operation. 4. Does it shorten the span of life to have the gall bladder removed? Answer—If it is necessary to have it removed, the operation will lengthen, rather than shorten, the span of life. ts function is apparently not abso- lutely necessary. 5. If the gall bladder were removed would I have to continue on a special diet indefinitely? Answer—I think not. You would have a balanced diet and pay more par- ticular attention, naturally, to not be indiscreet in your dietary habits. 6. Would it be possible for me to rallroad without the gall bladder? Answer—Yes. There are many peo- ple who are continuing with their active work minus that organ, just as they do minus the appendix or tonsils. 7. If the gall bladder were taken out, do you think I would be troubled with th> gas so badly and heart attacks, if I were careful of what I ate” Answer—If the infected gall bladd>x is the cause of your symptoms, these should cease after it is removed.

HEALTH BY LULU HUNT PETERS, M. D. toms that are really due to the infected gall bladder.) 8. Do you think that in time the gas spells would atfect my heart and I me physically unable to have an oper: tion? Answer—It wouldn’t be the gas that would be so apt to affect your heart as it would be the lowered resistance from being unable to eat correctly, plus the poisons from the infection. These would eventually affect all your organs. 9. If the bladder were taken out, how long would it take the average person to be able to work again? Answer—It depencs entirely upon the severity of the case. I should say prob- ably two or three months, at least. If you have a skiliful surgeon, Mr. S., you must have confidence in him and abide by his decision. If you think there is any doubt as to his competence, you should ask for a consultation with another specialist. “Is it true that s liquid taken with food causes it to have no caloric value? If s0, how soon after eating will it have such effect. SHE No, A., it is not true. In fact, if the liquid taken has food value, such as tea or coffee, with sugar and cream, it ce.tainly adds to the caloric value. .If it is plain water, which has no caloric value, there is no difference made in the caloric value of the food. ‘You should avoid eating salty or con- centrated foods, for these make your tissues hold water to dilute the tissue fluids. The thing to remember about drinking water at meals is that it should not be taken to wash the food down. You can have all you want while reducing. e gl Nutrition Nuggets. Remember that meals must be planned with four points in mind—first, to furnish sufficient nourishment to keep the body in normal weight, and in the case of children to provide for growth; second, to provide sufficient body-bullding foods of the proper kind; third, to provide plenty of mineral salts, and, fourth, sufficient vitamins. A gen- eral varied diet, such as has been s0 often described here, will take care of all these requirements. Lack of any one of them is almost sure to result in harm so far as nutrition is concerned. ‘The child who won't drink milk “as is” can usually be tempted by some of the many delicious and somewhat dis- guised milk drinks that can be so easily prepared. Combination of ruit juice and milk are particularly good for their refreshing ‘and nourishing qualities. Combinations of milk and some of the carbonated beverages; of malted milk mixtures, homemade sodas; of plain iced cocoa made with milk, are other possibilitics. Dr. W. R. Davis, director of the bu- reau of mouth hygiene, Michigan De- partment of Health, in a recent address made before a joint session of the American Child Health Association in Chicago, said that the two greatest fac- tors in mouth hygiene are diet and early dental attention. It has been proven quite conclusively that wrong diet promotes decay and correct diet retards decay. “If we could have early attention to small defects and correct diet. I believe we could almost wipe tooth troubles off the map.” that contain plenty of minerals, such as vegetables, fruits, whole-grain cereals and an abundance of milk go a long way toward providing for this cor- rect diet. Plenty of foods requiring considerable chewing should also be used—crusty bread, whole-grain ce- reals again, some raw vegetables, such as celery, carrots, shredded cabbage and raw fruits, all help in providing proper exercise and stimulation for the teeth. One of the troubles of the present-day American diet is the fact that it is made up so largely of soft foods that require so little chewing. - - Men Ahead of Tigers in India.

I must give the credit to the Bond Bread . salesman. : In the morning he brings in a certain number of loaves. He knows from watching my sales just about how many Bond I will sell before he comes in again. Then in the afternoon he brings another lot—just enough to carry me over. When he comes the next morning there usually isn’t a loaf on the counter. I am able in this way to assure my cus- tomers that the Bond Bread in my store has come fresh from the oven. My customers know that Bond is delivered here regularly, and many of them do their shopping at an hour that brings them here just after the Bond man’s arrival. I don’t mind the extra rush, as long as my customers get what they want . . . and that’s fresh Bond Bread. ELGAR C. MEAD After all— {Signed} there is no bread like
