The consensus of | medical opinion at present is that the | exciting cause, one factor in all cases, | is infection, not with a specific germ but with various germs.

It does look now as though the old timers were going to be vindicated, for the studies of McCarrison and others seem to show that a deficiency of Vitamins B and C in the diet and perhaps in less de- fiee Vitiamin A, is the main predispos- g factor of uleer; lack of these vi- tamins renders the digestive tract vul- nerable to infection. Household Methods BY BETSY CALLISTER. From the Wash. BSome time each week should be de- voted to the care of clothes and house- hold linens and the best time to do this is the time when the clothes “‘come up” from the wash. If your things are sent out this may not be until Thursday or Priday. If the washing is done at home on Monday then the chances are that everything is dry and ironed by Tues- day afternoon and Wednesday morning is the best time to look over the clothes and mend them. Whenever it is, it is well to have a definite time for the task, so that clothes need not be waylaid in mending bags or baskets for days at & time. As part of this weekly clothes mending and sorting task it is a good plan to give some time to renovating clothes and other articles that do not go through the wash. ‘We would not think of sending our chiidren out in unironed washable clothes yet we are rather lax nowadays about having clothes, coats, etc., pressed and cleaned. This, no doubt, is because the prices asked by repairing tailors are so much higher than they used to be.

NANCY PAGE Etiquette of Graduation Invitations. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. The morning mail brought a heavy white envelope to the Howe home.

That is never done. They might have sent you a separate invita- tion, but that seems a needless expense to me.

The reason he knows so much about them is because of eggs. If you would have eggs you must know about those who lay eggs and where they make their nests. So Unc' Billy has aid considerable attention to these hings. He noticed that when Mrs. Quack left him, after he found her gettlnF her dinner in the Smiling Pool, she slipped away into the blackest of the Black Shadows, just where the Laughing Brook leaves the Smiling Pool. He had grinned when he saw that she tried to slip away when she thought he wasn't looking. Right away he guessed that that nest was somewhere along the Laughing Brook, below the Smiling Pool. You see, he knew that there is the little swamp through which the Laughing Brook flows on its way from the Smiling Pool to the Big River. Unc’ Billy was sure that somewhere over there Mrs. Quack had her nest. | “All Ah done got to do is to look aroun’ over there. Ah reckon Ah can fin’ it,” sald Unc’ Billy. So Unc' Billy shuffied around the Smiling Pool to the back of the Laugh- Brook. Once there, he an to move very carefully. He used his ears, i He used his nose.

Household Methods BY BETSY CALLISTER. No method of keeping recipes is a good one for you unless you find it con- venierlt. It is absurd to think that be- cause some household expert tells you that card catalogues are the best means for keeping recipes, you should try to keep your recipes in this way if you do not find it most convenient. There is often the difficulty in using a card index box for recipes that the cards are taken out for use and not replaced. If you find this true in your case, then give up this system and try some other, It may be that an old- fashioned composition book will prove most useful to you. A compromise be- tween_this and the card system is the loose-leaf notebook. In this new rec- ipes may be added anywhere you wish, but they are usually not taken out when used, and hence do not become readily mislaid. Some housewives find the most help- ful system of all to be that of using a standard cook book and nothing else. This should, of course, be one of the complete and comprehensive books of recent date. You will find almost every recipe you wish in such a book, and you will usually find it convenient to jot down suggestions and additions on the margin of the book. Then at the end of each chapter you may find room to write down suggestions for other food | combinations that may be worked out | with the ald of the recipes in the book. | There is always the advantage in| using one recipe book that you become used to the method and system of one suthority and are thus better able to carry out other recipes of the same au- thority, You become accustomed to the method of measures, to the language of that authority, and hence you feel to- ward her as you would toward an old friend.

It s impossible 'to have the hair ‘waved asnm and again by a hot iron without doing it harm. Permanent wav- ing is expensive, takes time in the be. ginning and is not yet practical, ex- cept in & few places, for hair that has been bleached or dyed. And it costs a lot to keep up the permanent-—since it must always be reset after a shampoo. A finger wave is harmless, but usually must be done by an expert in a beauty shop. Combs can be used; the wave set with a comb has had a decline in polpulnrny. probably the danger of the cellulold combs catching fire from the hot-air machines—perhaps because the flat er wave looks best in the end. But unless the hair has a certain amount of natural wave, a curling fluld must be used. Now, I think that white of egg, the best of all face masks, the best scal cleanser, is also the best setting fluid. It is too strong by itself, it must be di- luted down with three to four times its own amount of water—that is, put the egg white in a measuring glass and add three to four timesthe amount of water; you can easily see how much to us After you've shampooed your hair be- gin drying it by squeezing and mbhin{ most of the moisture out with a thicl soft towel, Then part the hair as you would when combing it and rub over it with & sponge soaked in the setting fluid.

Mary K.—I think the reason why the skin on your nose is peeling all the time is because of your too frequent applica- tions of peroxide. C. R. K.—You may ward off the net- work of fine lines under the chin for many years if you keep toning the skin every day all over the throat and face; in fact. all over the body. If your skin is inclined to be dry, give it a cream massage each day. It is not necessary that this should be an elaborate affair, just a little cream worked into the skin with the fingertips until as much as possible will be taken up by the pores. Wipe off the surplus and dash very cold water over throat and face to stimulate the skin even more than the massage does. An astringent treatment once & week may be needed also to help tighten the skin. G. R.—Cod liver oll is very nourishing and a great tonic for persons who are run down or underweight, if they can assimilate it. It would only be a case of a very poor digestion that would have any trouble and even then, there are emulsions in which other ingredents | are blended with the oil that any one may take. The best way to take the ol | is straight, and some take as much as a | tablespoonful three times a day. MATTRESSES RENOVATED Best Service and Prices COLUMBIA BEDDING CO., Ine. 219 G §t. N.W.
