The ten- iIcy to have a few gray hairs is in- ited in some families. If your hair were turning gray very raplidly, such a eondition might indicate some nervous er organic trouble that would reguire mns medical treatment, but as things are I do not_feel that {nu need to worry sbout them. Just keep yourself in the 'e? best of health and give your scalp and hair a massage treatment and a thorough brushing every day. Every five days is rather too often to wash hair of the dry type. Instead wash it once every 10 days or two weeks. e lar brushing will keep it clean, and the massage will stimulate the circula- tion and strengthen the tiny muscles in the scalp. Use the warm oil treatment before the shampoo. The shampoo that you mention is reliable, and may be used regularly. Once or twice a week apply a good scalp food. Divide the hair into a number of strands and ap- ply the scalp food directly on the scalp, and then massage it in well with the finger tips. Wring out a large Turkish towel in hot water and wrap it around the head. Repeat the hot lications several times to steam in the salve. Brush and comb your hair afterward.|;, ‘The vinegar rinse is used for dyed or bleached harsit hair. The following rinse would be better for your type of hair. Mix one tablespoonful of olive oll with two quarts of water and use it as a final rinse. It will soften the hair and keep it lubricated, as it is rather dry. The oil particles do not dissolve in the water, but as you the hair they are evenly distributed over the hair. If you missed seeing the hot oil treatment-that I published re- cently, please write for it.

Now touch the shoulder blades behind with the fingertips until you feel the flabby muscles pull tightly. Repeat 20 to 30 times. Exercise 2—Stand erect, with both arms stretched over head. Inhale as fou raise the arms. Bring arms down riskly, elbows bent, and touch the shoulder, keeping elbows as high as possible until you feel the under-arm muscles pull. Shoot the arms up over the head again to first position. Bring the arms down briskly, elbows bent close to the body, hands on the chest. Repeat these two exercises with vim 20 to 30 times each. Exercise 3—Practice the arm move- ments of the breast and crawl strokes for several minutes every night and morning. For breast-stroke movement shoot both arms out in front, palms turned outward, swing the arms in a wide circle outward, bringing elbowe close to chest and continue the stroke, shooting the arms out in front. Hold the chin up, the chest elevated and the shoulders well 'k when E‘Ifllcl this stroke on land. For the crawl stroke use right and left arms alter- nately windmill fashion, heaving the shoulder upward to hfln! the arm out and forward at shoulder level, bend the elbows, keeping them as high as pos- sible. Reach out with each arm alter- nately as far as possible, bringing it down to the side of the body and raising the elbow and shoulder to strike for- ‘ward again. Exercise 4—Place the hands on the chest, elbows bent. Inhale a dee breath and rotate the shoulders. First, raise them I{gnrd as high as ible, then throw them backward and down- ward as far as you can. Repeat 10 to 20 times. Breathe deeply and regularly when practicing the above exercises. They will limber up the muscle that are ordinarily little used, keep the flesh aroég nccun;ul-gng :l?ld vgge up the labby muscles by m: lem supple and flexible. . it Exercise, massage and swimming are dependable for keeping the figure trim and the muscles young and supple. A 10-minute period ‘should be given over exercise every night and morning. Take a walk out of doors in the fres air and sunshine every day and swim, if possible, two or three times a week. ‘The mun{e which follows the exercise consists of deep kneading, pinching, slapping and stroking of the muscles. Massage or rubbing alcohol may be used to lubricate the massage movement. One should take" the exercises regularly, however, not spasmodically, to obtain results. (Copyright, 1930.) Tomato-Cucumber.

Your Baby and Mine Mothers whose bables have “done beautifully” on lactic acid milk want its praises sung to high heaven, and they think I should do the singing. One mother said, “T don’t see why you don't tell all mothers about lactic acid milk.” I do, but like ali things, the mother is le}}lom interested until she tries it her- self. For a good many years we have been talking up the good points of buttermilk without much success. People still ask me, “Can I give it to my children in- stead of sweet milk? And is it nourish- ing?” As hot weather is approaching we feel that buttermilk deserves another warble, at least, because the baby who has diarrhea or who is inclined to vomit will find buttermilk an even better food than sweet milk when he gets over the acute stage of his ailment. ‘There are several ways of making but- termilk, in addition to the obvious one of riding out in the country and buying it of the farmer, or having it delivered at the back door. Churned buttermilk lacks all fat, since the cream in it turns into butter. Naturally a milk lacking all fat is not as nutritious as a whole milk. But we can make up this lack in the buttermilk by adding about 4 ounces of sweet cream to a quart of buttermilk and thus have just as nutritious a milk as it was before churning. ‘The buttermilks made with lactic acid, or Bulgarian bacillus tablets, or acido- philus cultures ordinarily contain whole milk, so they lack nothing at all of the nutrition that was in the sweet milk, and, in addition, have the beneficial lactic acid. . We have a leaflet which tells you exactly how to make these various types of buttermilk, and also gives the stand- ard formulas in use for infant feeding. If you wish to obtain it send a self- addressed, stamped envelope with y est for the lactic acid milk leaflet. e reason why lactic acid milk is easier than sweet milk for babies to digest is this: The curd of cows’ milk is tougher and harder to digest than the curd of breast milk. Even if the baby's stomach secretes the normal amount of acid the cows' milk requires larger quan- tities .of it 8o that it takes more to re- duce the curd to an acidity fluld, which is the first step in digestion. So we add some extra acid to the milk, in the form of lemon juice, or lactic acld, or some- thing of the sort, and this gives the stomach enough acid to take care of that tougher milk curd. At 1 year we usually put babies on sweet milk, feeling that they no longer need that help, but if the older child likes buttermilk better than sweet milk he may continue to drink it. It is preferable to buy fresh churned buttermilk and add the sweet cream to it or to make your h\:tiurtr:flk atd homed. ‘Then know exactly the grade an tmhm’uw of the milk used in making it.

Keep itin the ice box overnight if you care to. Bake it at your convenience. It will be two-thirds leavened when you put it in the oven. The other third takes place in the oven heat— that’s two-to-one leavening, and is the reason for the superior results achieved in every Rumford bak- ing. That’s why every Rumford bake is perfectly leavened. Rumford-leavened texture is uniform and even. Open if the mixture is beaten a short time, fine if beaten a long time, but always uniform. ONE LEAVENER Cakes and breads made with Rumford do not dry quick]y; They keep fresh a surprisingly long time. No matter how much Rumford you use, even if it’s more than recipes call for, there’s never any ‘‘chemical’’ or ‘‘bak- ing-powder”’ taste left by Rumford. Of many other advantages none is more important than the fact that Rumford adds real food value to every baking. Its abeolutely pure phosphate content is a big aid in the family diet, especially for growing children. THE RUMFORD COMPANY, Exrecutive Offices, RUMFORD, R. L MODEST MAIDEN “This diet program tells how. Why, I lost eight pounds in three months!” DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX JDEAR MISS DIX: I am a bachelor of 45. Have proposed twice and would have done so oftener if girls had friven me & chance. But my opinion of women is poor. They are governed entirely by their emotions. For instance, I don't drink, smoke, gamble, run around at nights, and I try to live upright; yet I have lost out in love, while men who are faithless or dishonored or brutal or drunkards or good for nothing get good wives. This shows lack of common sense, since these girls can never be hap; with such men. How do you explain this paradoxical situation in view of the so-called education of the modern girls? . E. M W. Answer. You said it, brother, when you said that it is the lack of eommon sense that makes girls turn down fine, upright men and then marry shiftless ne'er-do-wells and drunkards, . But girls are not the only ones who display a lack of intelligence in choosing their lifemates. Men are likewise guided by their emotions instead of their reason in marriage and use their hearts tead of their heads in choosing their wives. That is why so many good, sensible, modest, domestic girls never have a date or a chance to marry at all, while silly little flappers who are lacking in brains and principles and souls have men swarming around them like bees around a honey pot and could marry a dozen times if they ohose. In no other matter do men and women exercise so little prudence and judgment and use so little common sense as in marriage. And that's the reason that we have so many divorces, Men and women who are sane enough to be allowed out without a keeper do not expect heaven to intervene and save them from the effects of their acts when they take foolhardy risks in other directions, but they optimistically believe that some miracle will be wrought that will change an unwise marriage into a wise one. A girl knows that it is suicidal to marry a roue or a drunkard or a gambler and that she is due to starve if she marries a lazy man, but she does it believing that somehow marriage will make her philanderer faithful, her drunkard sober and turn her slacker into a go-getter. A man knows that to marry a girl who is a pretty moron or one who is idle and extravagant and clothes mad will mean that her husband will be bored to death as soon as he has got tired of looking at her or that he will spend his life toiling to pay her bills, but he marries her believing that marriage will somehow turn & lowbrow into a highbrow and a spender into a saver. And when none of these transformations occur men and women beat n their breasts and cry out that mnrriue is a failure, when the fallure is due entirely to their own stupidity and lack of intelligence, 5 Why this is thus, why men and women do not bring as much gray matter to the choice of a wife and husband as they do to the selection of a car or a dress is one of the mysteries that nobody can fathom. They simply don't, that's all. Nor can anybody tell why it is that the homely virtues, the wearing qualities that make men and women desirable as life partners, have so little appeal to either sex nor why the attributes that make men and women such dangerous matrimonial risks have a fatal allure that draws its victims to them as moths are drawn to a flame. Perhaps this may explain to you, Mr. E. M. W, why two girls have not known a good thing when they saw it and have turned from you to men who were your inferior. But do not despair. There are just as good fish in the sea as ever were caught, and there are plenty of giris looking for just such husband as you would make, ROTHY DIX.

With all due respect to you I cant see ‘where he looks like you in the slightest particuler, Harvey sed, and pop sed, Then that makes us even.

Smells like violets, I like violets. I was just wondering if there would be some in the orchard Saturday. You and I could take lunch and go out to find out and on the way back we could stop at grandma's and father could bring us home. Hurry now, I'd hate this soup to get cold.” Long after Mary Ann had returned to school mother sat thinking, a dark little crease between her eyes. Too many complaints had been coming in from school. It was plain Mary Ann and the teacher were not gmnl on well. Other children complained about being called names, being stood in the corner, scolded before the class and made to feel cheap and ashamed. What was to be done about 1t? Since the first day of school, children have complained about the teacher. Sometimes they had reason for com- plaint, for teachers are not all born to the manner and method, and some- times they complained because they had nothing else as dramatic to tell. Keep an open mind about the matter. Wait until you have thought it all over. Let the froth blow off before you take the whole draught at a gulp. When the child’s mood has passed, talk the whole thing over again, making certain that no hint of approval or rebellion of complaints, and the like, colors your questioning. Then if you think you are well under control and have your facts in order, ask the teacher to see you. Then quietly talk the matter over. Few teachers are bent upon making life miserable for their pupils, which is but the one certain way of making life miserable for themselves, Get to the bottom of the situation. Find what the teacher's difficulties are. Get the co-operation of the other parents of the school.
