FOOD PROBLEMS BY SALLY MONROE. Possibilities for Pears. Some housewives seem to think that pears have few possibilities. They are wrong, for really this fruit can be used to advantage in many ways. ‘To begin with, there are stewed pears. Pare them and simmer them gently until they are tender, sometimes with a little cinnamon stick for flavor. Then sweeten them to taste. Chill them thoroughly before serving. ‘Wash and gipe thoroughly to serve whole. Some varieties when perfectly ripe and juicy, are very delicious, pared, sliced and served with sugar and cream the same as peaches. Pear salad is delicious. Pare them. halve them, and remove the cores. Fill the core cavities with balls of cream cheese and serve on crisp lettuce leaves MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS, Receding Haiz Line. ‘Women do not often become bald at i the crown of their heads as men do, | but, with the passing years, their hair | usually beccmes scantier along the fore- ! head and above the ears. Sometimes this receding of the hair line comes result. There are other factors that may enter into the situation also, for example, the failure to rinse soap away from the hair line after the face has been washed. The left on the hair day after day ten make it break and gradually weakens and bleaches it. ‘The way the face is dried after washing may also harm the hairs at the hair line. Some people, especially men, wipe their faces vigorously, rub- bing upward into the hair in a direc- tlon opposite to the way it grows. ‘The bair naturally falls forward, and when it is rubbed the wrong way with a mu!h towel every day, it is no wonder that some of the hairs break.

Oxygen, contained in the very air we breathe, robs coffee of its freshness and flavor. These facts show how Oxygen loots coffee flavor Just read these amazing facts es- tablished in the laboratories of a leading Eastern University: (1) Loose or bag coffee loses 65% of its flavor in nine days after roasting. Coffee in old-fashioned cans loses 45% of its flavor inninedays after roasting. All due to the attack of Oxygen! Think - of it! Forty-five to sixty-five per cent of the flavor gone from nine-day-old coffee. Even vacuum packing, a definite improvement over old-fashioned methods, re- moves only p.art of the air from the can, leaving sealed in enough Oxygen to cause flavor loss and de- terioration. The new Vita-Fresh Process re- moves the air so completely that the most rigid chemical analysis re- veals no trace of Oxygen in tho«i'ua-‘ Fresh can after packing. : Remember — Oxygen is the de- stroyer of coffee freshness and fla- vor.

PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. D. Photographer’s Hypo. Really I'm getting diffident about telling folks about what a fine remedy sodium hyposulphite (thiosulphate) is for lead poisoning, arsenic poisoning, carbon monoxide poisoning, vy polson- ing and everything. I am rather en- couraged to find, on consulting the records, that I have not yet recom- mended this famfliar remedy for broken legs or for that tired feeling— though I'm not so certain about the :‘h‘:& T:ntione;l indication, for in truth one of the symptoms or. after- effects of carbon monoxide poisoning for which I do recommend that the victim take ten to twenty grains of sodium hyposulphite in - water three times a day for three weeks. Sodium hyposulphite is the chemi- photographers’ fixing_liquid. ‘Well, sir—must we rejoin the ladies Just yet>—Dr. William L. Gould of Al- bany finds that none other than our trusty old panacea, sodium hyposul- phite, is an’ excellent remedy for none other than our musty old afiction, ringworm of the feet, better known among the bourgeois as “athlete’s foot.” Dr. Gould reports that in the Fall of 1929 fully 50 per cent of the Ehyslcll training classes in an Albany igh school were excluded from gymnasium because of this ringworm of the feet. Such remedies as jodine and murcuro-chrome failed to check the trouble. Early in November foot baths containing 10 to 15 per cent so- -but VITA-FRESH delivers full-flavor Coffee every time lutions of sodium hyposulphite were installed between locker rooms and shower rooms. Each pupil on leaving the shower was requested to immerse his feet in the bath on his way to the locker. In so doing, considerable solu- tion was spattered over the floor, so that from the time pupils left 'the showers tll they arrived at dressing rooms their feet were in contact with the thiosulphate solution. The foot bath was changed after each class. The solution 1is colorless and nearly odorless. Four weeks after this hypo- sulphite foot bath plan was adopted the ringworm infection had entirely disappeared from the high school. Dr. Gould remarks that such a foot bath is unhandy at times, and where it is not feasible he suggests a 20 per cent powder of sodium hyposulphite in boric acid, to be applied freely to the feet, footwear and the floors, particu- Jarly to the socks or stocking feet, be- tween the toes, and inside the shoes. A light dusting is all that is necessary. This powder may be regularly used on the feet night and morning for pre- vention and comfort. (Copyright, ¢ Onion Sauce.
