LOIS LEEDS. Exercise After Operation. Dear Miss Leeds: About two months ago I had a serious case of appendicitis and was operated on. Now, although I eat very little, my abdomen is large and I would like to reduce it by exercise. Should I do the leg-raising and back- bending exercises? JUANITA JEAN. Answer—You should have definite jeon about the exercises you wish to do. I would not like to take the responsibility of advis- ing you. I would caution you, however, about back-bending, as it can do harm if done in the wrong way. When tak- ing acrobatic exercises, it is always best to do so under the supervision of a competent instructor. ? LOIS LEEDS. Thin Hair; Dry Skin. Dear Miss Leeds: (1) My hair is very | thin at the part. What can I do to make it grow in thicker? (2) .What| can I do for a skin that is dry and always peeling? MRS. M. R. Answer.—(1)—Pirst, dress your hair with the part in some other place. Rub oil into your scalp every night and mag- sage for at least 10 minutes. Wash your hair once a week. (2) Sometimes ex- cessive dryness of the skin is due to wrong diet or to a poor condition of general health, Be sure that your weight is right for your age and height. Use cleansing cream or oil to cleanse your skin at bedtime. Several times a week follow the cleansing with a wash | with warm water and pure castile soap. If the skin feels dry after having been washed, thoroughly rinsed and dried, pat on a little nourishing cream. ‘THE STAR’S DAILY PATTERN SERVICE Nightie of Modern Trend.

Strained vegetables, strained prunes, strained vxmfle soup were a part of his daily diet. It was easy for him, but hard for Nancy. She hated to spend so much time fussing with food for the baby and then preparing some- P;t-hlnl quite different for herself and It is true that she used the strained vegetables prepared commercially by reputable concerns, but these foods were too expensive for use day in and day out. Her next solution was to find some way whereby she could use many of the same vegetables for the baby and the family. Of course, she seasoned those for her family. Her husband grew tired of buttered beets, beets pickled with vinegar and horseradish. But he ate Harvard beets with a relish. These were pretty, too, and Nancy felt elated to think she had le one vegetable do for two sets of meals. She cooked the beets in boiling water, peeled them by putting them under running cold water and slipping off the skins. Then she mashed some of them for the baby. The others were served with this sauce. She mixed one-half cupful sugar with one level tablespoonful corn- starch and added one-half cupful vinegar. She cooked this for five minutes and then poured it over the freshly cooked, drained fiew beets. Sometimes she cubed the beets. She found this method was not acceptable with old beets, but then she never used this kind for the baby anyway.

JOHN R. GUNN. Burdened and Weary. “Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.”—Matt. i1.28. In this invitation Christ makes no promise to remove our burdens. To do that would be the worst thing He could do for us. “After they had rest, they did evil” We would all pretty soon be doing evil if we were freed from all responsibility and care. ‘We often complain of the heavy loads e0d | we have to carry; but I think we would stories,” no matter where they origi- nate, take on the flavor of freshness of neighborhood gossip. Another thing. Our daily problems, big and little, impress us with their uncertainty. We use our wits vastly more than our grandparents did. In a sense we live the life of a detective. ‘Tired out with our own personal daily | roblems, we find relaxation in read- g something of the dally grind of the man whose business it is to solve knotty - problems. 'We derive some satisfaction from the fact that we are, after all, & part of a greater society always trying to solve some mystery. (Copyright. 1930.) Sweet Potatoes.

Christ gives us rest, not by taking away our burdens, but bv teach- ing us how to adjust ourselves to them and how to bear them patiently and Joyfully, instead of fretting and fuming over them, as so many of us do. ‘The right adjustment will often make the heaviest load seem light. A bright and cheerful spirit adds strength to the arm and makes our burden-bearing a delight and joy. By His example, and by walking with us as a companion and teacher, Christ shows us how to do our work and bear our burdens in a quiet and restful manner. But this is not all. There are loads that are too much for human strength at its best. And when our load becomes 00 much, Christ gives us rest by giv- ing us additional strength. If you are worn and weary and seek rest, here is rest for you—Christ ready to help you with your load and to give y(;:d ‘ltddlfinml strength when you i % C., THURSDAY, DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Why Husbands Should Insist on One Evening Off a Week—Can a Spoiled Child Be Taught Consideration? DIAR MIS8 DIX—Is it wrong for & husband to go out to play a small friendly game of poker with his friends at the house of one of the friends once a week? Whenever my wife wishes to go to any of her club meetings, play bridge or go anywhere, I always stay at home &nd take care of the children and never kick, even though it sometimes happens she has such engagements or four times a week. However, if I go out one night a week to play a friendly game, she protests. I enjoy getting er with the old gang, all married men, immensely. Is it wrong to do that? We play for very small stakes, so the money side of the question is negligible. 8. L. M. Answer—Certainly you are entitled to your evening off once a week. Even a servant gir] has that degree of liflerty, and if you will take my advice you will stick up for it and refuse to let your wife stop your going. ‘You will make her understand once and for all that you are without being nagged about it either before or after. Take it from me, brother, your wife will have far more respect for you if you demand your rights than she w you let her bulldoze you into giving in to her. Every woman has a secret con- tempt for the man who lets her henpeck him and who is afraid of her. Every woman knows that no matter how fond she is of her husband, she perishes for companionship with her own sex, that there are woman things she wants to talk over with other women; woman problems that she wants to discuss with women who look at things from her point of view and understand how she feels about things that no man can ever understand. 8o it is a strange thing that wives can never comprehend why a man needs some change from going to work every moining and coming home every night to his family; why he needs to do something that is entirely different from selling potatoes or seeing sick people and from listening to his wife tell him the same thing that he has heard a thousand times; why wives can’t understand that the poor, tired, bored man needs to do something occasionally that he really likes to g? and that amuses him, and that takes his thoughts off of his worries and problems. It is queer why women can’t understand that men need the society of men just as women need the society of women, and that they need to get out some time just with men, with never a petticoat about them. Mighty few wives are big enough to get a man’s point of view on their hus- bands. They think t_their Johns should be tied ‘t’; their apron strings and that they should be satisfied with the kind of amusements that they enjoy. . Of course, no man has a right to go out every evening and leave his wife alone. The wife has a right to object to that, but she is mean and stingy if she begrudges him cne night, especially when he is willing to play fair and give her as much as he takes.

Parents are quick to comment upon any unusual behavior of the child, ‘| and endeavor to bring it to an end. Suppose the child gets a cinder in his eye For hours he blinks, and his eye waters until the offending particle is removed. Then because of the slight irritation he may continue to blink, and eventually his mother says, “Now stop that winking, Edward, you make me frightfully nervous.” With his at- tention fixed on the winking, Edward goes on winking and blinking and be- comes an accomplished winker, doing iL_whether he wills or no. Then the whole family notices it, and each one individually does his bit to stop it. As you perhaps know already, Edward is so0 imbued with the idea that he does wink and must stop winking that he goes right on with renewed vigor. Small habits grow from inconsequen- tial beginnings and are watered and weeded and brought to a luxuriant bloom by attention. It doesn't make much difference what kind of attention it is, nagging, scolding or shaming, all attentions are impressive, for they keep the child aware of his nervous habit and it cannot die. i ‘When one notices a new habit, the first step is to find out whether it has some real physical basis. constantly might be the first indication of eye-strain.
