Lo WOMAN’S PAGE. The Woman Who Makes Good . BY HELEN Who mqu Overtime Without Pay. What are we going to do about the boss who comes in late, wastes his time about trifiles like flirting with the tele- one operator and balancing his check k? At 4 o'clock he suddenly begins to dictate. At 5 o'clock he says that [, four of the letters Jmust go out to- night. It's a mat- _ter of life and ‘death. The busi- ness will probably collapse in a week if you don't get those five letters out tonight. Then he goes home with it cheerfulness and importance, and leaves you to work until 6:30. It wouldn’t matter so much if you were allowed to ccme in late the next morning, but in a large organization you have to punch the timeclock and you have an hour for lunch.

A girl writes and asks me whether a | stenographer ought to take this as part | of her job and not complain, or whether she should make a fuss about it and perhaps lose her job. There isn't any | general answer. It's an individual g‘l;nbllm. If your boss is thoughtless | t good-natured, you can have a little | talk with him. You may even point out ta him that some of the letters do not have to go out that very day. | As a rule it doesn’'t make much dif- | ference whether a letter goes off today | or tomorrow.

' PERSONAL HEALTH BY WILLIAM Human Material, Nearly every one who takes normal | interest in thé preservation of health | knows something about the importance | of vitamins in the diet, particularly the parents of young infants and children. | Perhaps most well reared babies today get a regular ration of some fresh fruit | Juice for the sake of the vitamin C, Wwhich prevents scurvy—a nutritional disease which we formerly encountered even in the infants of well-to-do people, but seldom see today. Then, too, most babies that are properly fed receive cod liver oil ration nowadays for th: vitamin D, which prevents rickets, as well as the vitamin A, which probably | aids the infant in the development of | normal immunity against infections, | especially Infections of the upper res- piratory tract. .

Pauline “Er- It is because of the large amount of vitamin A in cod liver oil that this food medicine has been dubbed “bottled sun- shine,” for the scientists who give us this new knowledge believe that some influence in the ultravjolet rays of sun- light (or ultraviolet rays from artificial sources) imparts to the, body, through the skin, the same effect as that of vitamin A in food. Cod liver oil is perhaps the richest natural food source of both vitamin A and vitamin D, but it is fortunately not the only source of these necessary vitamins, for fresh raw milk and cream and butter are likewise good sources of both these vitamins; also fresh egg| (yolk); also most of the fresh green leafy relishes or vegetables. Then, too, the yellow foods—carrots, sweet pota- toes,” yellow corn or corn meal, string beans, orange, ripe banana—are notable among the vitamin rich items of diet. | I don’t believe I'd part with any extra dollars for newer preparations if 1 were | responsible for the baby's nutrition, as long as I could get plain cod liver oil for the kid—say 10 drops two or three times a day at the age of six weeks, and gradually increasing week by week, till a dose of a teaspoonful two or three times a day is reached at the age of, say, six months, and after that a daily tablespoonful, except mayb> holidays | of obligation, until the baby attains the | age of 1 year. After the first year it is just extravagance to buy cod liver oll for the normal baby, and it should not be given the child exc:pt under definite instructions of the doctor. F. E. Musseri of the College of Agri- ! culture, Lincoln, Nebr, is a scientific authority who asserts that the present standard by which the vitamin value of foods or medicines is measured is of questionable accuracy, and he backs up this opinfon with sound evidence. He | holds that the use of rats for feeding experiments leads to faulty conclusion: since rats can and do thrive on a far | less adequate vitamin ration, compara- tively, than even fowls, to say nothing of human beings. ‘This brings once more to mind the great need for human material for sci- entific research. I repeat that we ought to use the human material now going to waste in prisons for th: benefit of mankind. Such scientific experimenta- tion with human material would cer- tainly involve no cryelty or hardship— I belleve a sufficient number of inmates of prisons would eagerly offer the selves as such material and .that they would gain both morally and physically by their slight service to society.

MILADY BEAUTIFUL Eye Wrinkles. Dear Miss Leeds: I have a great many lines under my eyes, although I am only 25 years of age. I have used a tissue cream for several months without effect. How can I cure the wrinkles? ANXIOUS. Answer—The commonest cause of premature eye wrinkles is, of course, eye strain. Go to a good eye specialist and have him test your vision. Prob- ably you need to wear glasses. Eye strain not only causes wrinkles, but it often makes one feel nervous and be- low par generally. Apg‘l.'ye your tissue cream or muscle ol to wrinkles at bedtime. Rest your eyes during the . Squeeze out pads of clean absorbent cotton in witch hazel and lay them over your eyes: lie down and relax.

Is a red nose caused by one's diet? I suffer terribly from constipa- tion. I don't want to me. FAT AND FORTY. Answer.—A person who is constipated habitually cannot remain healthy long. Constipation is the beginning of a great many of the ills that flesh is heir to. So the first and most important thing for you to do to insure good health is to overcome this common ailment. Right diet and exercise will effect & cure in most cases, but in more serious ones a doctor should be consulted. Do not take cathartics without a doctor's orders. In the average case of constl- pation eating* more fruits and vege- tables will provide enough roughage, - but in some conditions this roughage is too irritating.
