Never before in the history of any country has it been possible to supply the quantity of foods out of season now within easy access of those living in the United States. It is the home- maker’s privilege to serve fresh fruits and vegetables that are not native to the soil where she lives, and to do this without taxing even a moderate purse, 80 reasonably priced are these things.

Beauty experts now realize that an oily skin is an acid skin, and that enlarged pores, blemishe. low, off-color skin are duc pri- marily to acid skin excretions. They have discovered that ereamed magnesia neutralizes acid impurities on the skin and beauti- fies the complexion in the samie easy way that milk of magnesia purifies the stomach. Cremed magnesia is as simple to use as washing your face. All vou do is anoint your face, mas- sage for a few minutes, and rinse with water. No other washing is necessary. Should your skin tingle at the first application, it is a sign that skin acids are at work, un- dermining your complexion.

The di-criminating housewife and the | | person with epicurean tastes is not cur- tailing in variety, but she sees that the table is varied rather than variety is overemphasized at any single meal. I heard of one meal recently where dis- | | crimination was left out and as many | as_seven different kinds of fruit were | served at one meal, a number of them coming during the same course. In the matter of recipes a housewife should be quick to try new ones that appeal to her. She should be slow to try them for the first time when en- tertaining. The ingredients may ap- parently be incompatable, but when iried out the flavor may be found agree- able to her and to her family. If so, she can serve the dish at some time when there are guests and have the satisfaction of knowing it is good. One such dish at a meal is enough, how- ever. Do not at any one meal tax the | appetite by many dishes that are “different.” (Copyrizht, 1930.) OUR CHILDREN BY Angry Children. Even very voung children show anger. | If a baby has anger spells look well to | his diet.” Even though you are follow- | ing the doctor's directions faithfully | consult him about these spells. He | | may be able to discover the cause. Some babies are angry because they are given a bath. Fear, perhaps brought |on that anger. Deal gently with the | | child. Speak to him gently. Bathe him carefully so as not to hurt him. | But go_through with the process to the | end. If he discovers that anger will check you you will be checked every | ! time he feels like exercising his power. If there are any tight bands on & child he is likely to be angry and fight. | Loosen_all bands, make certain that no. part of his clothing is pulling on him If he feels any restraining force any- where on his body he is likely to get into a rage about it. We avoid the | cause of anger whenever possible. That means, of course, that nobody in_his senses temses a baby. If you hold something before a baby and he reaches for it, give it to him. If you offer it and then pull it out of his | reach just to see him rage, then you are cruel, you are not being even sens- |ible. Anger is mot good for & baby’s nervous system. Rages and tantrums | are emotional stress and they are likely, if repeated, to form a pattern of | conduct very undesirable. | “That is not to say that a baby is to | have everything he reaches for. That is quite out of the question. But no- body is to offer him anything only to snatch it away. Often this brings on | a tantrum. and in some cases, the child | holds his breath until he is blue in the face. That calls for loose clothes, and a face washing. Cool water on the face and hands will check that. But why bring it on if being careful will prevent it. Some children find it hard to control their tempers than other children do. Again we are careful to avoid the occa- sion. Each exhibition of temper makes the next one easier. Each successful attempt at control helps the next one succeed the sooner, It is wise to keep silent when a child past babyhood gets into a passion.

In the fourteenth century, when En; land kept a heavy foothoid in France, neither the 'King of England nor the King of France cared to make an enemy of the Count de Foix. That 'free- handed prince governed Foix and Bearn with & firm but generous hand, up- holding the tenets of ‘chivalry and lov- ing greatly all men of strength and bravery. Above all of these was the Squire d’Espaign, of whom it was said that he never struck & man with his batlle ax but that he felled him to the ground. D'Espaign was far larger than any of “SEIZING THE LARGEST OF THESE HIM OVER HIS | his fellows. ~Froissart, the chronicler, traveling through Gascony, heard of him | that he was “of large size, strongly made, and not too much loaded with flesh.” The knight, Sir Espaign du Lyon, told him this, adding that thr’ squire had the strength of at least five | me “Is he really so strong as you tell | me?" asked Froissart. “Yes, that he is, by my troth,” said the knight. “You will not find his equal | in all Gascony for vigor of body.

Left-overs in Summer. Be specially careful about keeping left-overs in Summer. Food poisons de- velop quickly in _some sorts of cooked In very hot weather, I would never serve fish a second time. If your refrigerating system is perfect and tne temperature of the refrigerator is al- ways kept at a very low degree, the fish is safe enough to serve again, but Iswouldn't trust it on a very hot Sum- mer_day. All foods should go into the refrig- erator as quickly after they are taken from the table as possible. We pop butter and cream into the refrigerator immediately after they come from the table, just because they are so obviously improved by being kept very cold. Yet butter that has melted and then been chilled to hardness again never makes us_sick. Meat, because it does not change shape or appearance if it is kept out of the refrigerator, is sometimes neg- lected. Yet it is a good home for food poison germs. So we should hurry it into the refrigerator after it comes from the table. Men of History ed Full-Grown Ase Upstairs of Wood, GLASS, “The "count had dined with many lords in the hall. After dinner he arose and went into a gallery which has a staircase of 24 steps.. In this gallery is & chimney where a fire is kept when the count inhabits it, other- wise not; and the fire is never great, for he does not like it, as he has ac- customed himself to a small fire. “But today he thought the fire too small, for it was freezing and the weather was very sharp, and he said to the knights around him, ‘Here is but a small fire for this weather.’ “Ernauton d’Espalgn instantly ran ASSES, WITH HIS LEAD, HE THREW SHOULDERS.” downstairs.

Dethol G STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. TUESDAY DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Shall the Wife of a Traveling Man Travel Wit Him?—Lowest Form of Cheating. IDFEAR MISS DIX—1 am asking you to seitle a very important question for me. I have been married 16 years to a man whose business requires him to travel and we have never had a permanent home nor been in one place over six months at a time. I have changed the children from school to school, from city to city and State to State, and this has necessarily interrupted their education. Now the childrer’ and I desire to settle down, but if we get a home this involves our being separated from our breadwinner and this doesn't seem fair to him. What shall we do? ROLLING STONE. Answer—I should say keep on rolling, for if the rolling stone gathers no moss, as the old proverb puts it, it acquires a lot of polish. T am not denying that it is hard on you to keep moving and I know how you must long for a settled home, but as long as your husband’s business keeps him traveling the least you can do is to go with him and make him the best substitute for a home that you can. If it is hard on you, it is equally hard on him, and he must long as much as you do for the time to come when he can strike roots down in some congenial soil. Of course, it interrupts your children’s formal education to be continually changing schools. Doubtless they do not make as high grades as the childran who stay put in the same schools and Wwith the same teachers, but if you would put them to the test of real education, which is knowing things, I venture to say that your little nomads would make the star pupils of their own age in any grammar or high school look like ignoramuses. For there is no education like travel. The things we se: burn themselves into our memory. The history that we can visualize as having happened at a certain place becomes a real thing to us. It is one thing for a child to study geography. Tt is another thing for it to have seen rivers and lakes and continents and mountains and ecities. It is one thing for a child to read in a history about the Revolutionary War, for in- stance. It is another thing for it to have followed the trail of Paul Revere and ridden over the very route that Washington's army took, and so on. And no child who has spent its youth going about from place to place can ever be narrow or provincial or prejudiced. Consider this also: In a little while your children will be old enough to send off to school, anyway. If you give up follewing your husband to establish a permanent home for them, they will soon be out of it. Better keep up with him, even if you do get tired of packing and unpacking and sefting up homes only to tear them down. e DOROTHY DIX. DEAR MISS DIX—I have been in love with a young man for three years, but it is impossible for us to marry because we are both poor and un- educated. Another man wants to marry me. I like him because he is kind, but I do not love him. Would it be urfair for me to marry the man who could take care of me without his knowing that I love another? DOI Answer—Most unfair. The lowest form of cheating, because you are taking advantage of a good man’s faith and trust in you. You know very well that he would not marry you if he knew that you loved another man. ‘The fact that you are poor is no reason for giving up vour sweetheart. Any two industrious, energetic young people can surmount that obstacle if they are willing to work and wait a while. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1930.) MODEST MAIDENS © 310 The & 7.
