(Cobyright, 1931) sugar gether, NOW don't be fooled into believing that yellow, ugly looking teeth are your bad Juck simply because daily ‘brushing doesn’t make them whiteand keep them sound. Dingy, off-color, unclean teeth are NOT natural! If you m{ start using this new scientific technique—a of Kolynos on a dry brush, morning and n?t. Qvernight you'll agree you were wrong. And in 3 days your teeth will be much whiter—at least 3 shades whiter. terns or designs for ornamenting them can bé had by sending the correct coins together with a self-addressed and stamped envelope, with each request di- rected to Lydia Le Baron Walker, care of this paper. Please note sums set down with patterns and designs—which, by the way, are not hot-iron transfers. A smart bit of luggage is the-tubuiar traveling bag.of embroidered linen (pat- tern, 10 cents). This is known by sev- eral names, call such a bag a ‘“youleau,” which descriptive, suggesting the shape curately as does the term tubular In America during the mid-Victorian era the bag was very popular under the name of catch-all.or carry-all, another descriptive. By whatever name it is comes . in exceedingly handy to catch and carry all the 6dds and ends that The Prench and nnmfl are so difficult to get into suit case or | trunk. As the bag.folds flat and takes up scarcely any room, it can be taken along for this purpose when one goes on any trip, however short. The latest name is the club bag, a name which is appealing but in no wise description. By whatever name it is called, however, it is'smart in its pres- ent revival and very easy to make. A circular cross-stitch design for ends and & border to match for cross-stitch - broidery by counted stitches is 10 céhts and old English letters for marking are 5 cents each. A case for flat silverware (knives, forks and spoons) ix a needed article in every household. Pull size pattern, designs and also directions for making these cases can be had for a dime. The material can be siik, linen or double- faced cotton (cantom) flannel. This is a fave” ‘e textile for jewelers' cases for protecang silverware. It is & murrrd emakers . egg cosies, bean bags, incushions and applique motifs for by blankets, etc., are all pictured and directions given also with the full size duck pattern, which. is but 10 cents. Gifts for littlé folk and adults can all be made from this pattern with its many uses. A wall picture or' s can be made using the tandem coach design. It will take longer to work than the other things. It will be small if worked by counted stitches on heavy round thread linen. Or it will be large enough for floor rug if heavy Alda canvas is used. Both these textiles are good-looking and backgrounds do not have to be filled in. For either article regular cross- stitch canvas can be used equally well and the background be filled in with a color contrasting with the design in silhouette, Price, 10 cents. (Copyrisht, 1931) . Savory Tomato- Sauce.- In four tablespoonfuls of butter cook together for two minutes two cupfuls of canned tomatoes, -half a cupful of grated carrot, half a bay leaf and one- fourth- teaspoonful each of mustard and Summer savory and two tablespoonfuls of minced onion. Do not brown the vegetables. Add four tablespoonfuls of flour after one minute so that it mixes in with the fat. Add the tomato juice, three-fourths teaspoonful of salt and one cupful of water, and heat until the mixture thickens, Place over hot water for 10 minutes. Strain and serve. ——————e Sweden shipped more than 3,600 tons ].o: :-tecy matches to the United States st year. | hotel - suite, | time. | and Fess of Ohio are Democratic and i You’'ll see proof in 3 days —teeth 3 shades whiter! THE EVENING A WASHINGTON I DAYBOOK BY HERBERT PLUMMER. THAT classic of congressional lore— the mad but useless ride of then Vice President Dawes from his hotel to the Senate chamber to cast his vote fer the con- firmation of Charles B. Warren for Attorney Gen- eral—may become “old stuff” in the coming Congress. Dawes, resting peacefully in his could have broken the tie vote hai he been in the Senate chamber at the His absence, however. spoiled everything. In prose and poetry “Hell an’ Maria's” delin- ” quency has_ been preserved. It has probably provoked as many laughs as any other thing which has cver happened on the Hil. But the chances are that “boners” of this nature on the Hill this Winter will equal or even surpass that of Dawes. The margin between the two parties will be so close—both in the Senate and the House—that unless both Demo- crats and Republicans are on their toes every minute, there’ll be groans a-plenty. Four men will shoulder the biggest part of the responsibility in the two| chambers—iwo in each, They are the men officially designated as whips. It is up to these men to see that party lines are fixed on all roll calls. They must be in one something of a prophet, a diplomat, a quick thinker, and last but by no means least a good sprinter. They do just what their name im- lies—whip their political brethern into ine. They must see that pairs are ar- ranged so that a member’s vote will not be lost. ‘They must be able to foresee when a particular plece of legislation will be voted on so that they can muster the required strength. And they must hold themselves in readiness to hot-foot it out of the chamber to locate some miss- ing_member. ‘Those who watched the whips in action during the long months when the tariff bill was before Congree know what & job they have. For almost two years they were geared for speed—an unremitting speed. In _the Senate, Sheppard of Texas Republican whips, respectively. Much of their work is done by the two parties’ secretaries, but they are the general- l:fllmofl. Sheppard is particularly ac- tive, McDuffle of Alabama and Vestal of Indiana were Democratic and Repub- lican whips, respectively, in the last Congress. Whether they serve in the ctl::exdm; Congress has not yet been de- cided. ‘The House whips in the Seventy- second Congress will have a difficult time of it. They, too, have assistants, but they must keep on their toes at all times.

At the same time the second ingredient strikes at the source of most tooth and gum troubles, It kills millions of germs that swarm into the mouth and cause discoloration, decay and gum diseases. (In tests Kolynos killed 190 million germs in 15 seconds, protected the mouth for 3 full hours.) In this way Kolynos easily and quickly cleans teeth right down to the beautiful, natural white enamel with- out injury. It stimulates lazy gums and refreshes the Do uble- ) entire mouth.

MONDAY., NOVEMBER 30, 1931. . : “BONERS” | DorothyDix| & TR i Humorous Titbits From A FPHYSICIAN has come to the defense of the nagging wife and mother who, he maintains, is good for a family, even if she is & bit- ter pill to swallow. He says that those children have the best health who have nagging mothers who are forever after them with: “Don't get your feet wet.” “Don't sit on the ground.” “Wear a heavy sweater.” ~Eat your spinach.” “Chew your food properly,” and so on, and on, He also says it is the men with wives wno nag them about their lit- tle coughs, or about their bloods pressure, or about drinking too much coffee, or about their teeth, who finally get nagged into doctors’ and den- tists’ offices in time to save them from premature graves. POSSIBLY a man who is married to a nagging woman does live longer than one who isn’t. At any rate, it seems longer, but who wants life at such a price? Yet the doctor is Tight in asserting that the nagger frequently does accomplish good by her nagging, and, however painful the process, she does often goad her family along_the straight and nar- row way. Indeed, she is the only one who seems fitted to cope with cer- tain situations. RINK, for instance. Probably every man with a thirst who signed the temperance pledge was nagged into doing so. It is also a well estab- lished fact that a nagging wife is the only known agency that will gal- vanize a lazy man into action. One millionaire of my acquaintance de- clares that his wife nagged him into fortune. * ’I‘HE nagger can make us give up our friends. She can separate us from the mother who bore us and the sisters and brothers who are part of our very lives. She can make us eat what she wants us to eat and do without the dishes we. like. She can make us wear the clothes that she prefers and that we loathe. She can force her tastes, habits and opinions upon us because most of us are for peace at any price. MOST of us have been under the impression that the nagger was the final expression of self-conceit, selfishness and petty tyranny, Per- haps we shall be able to look upon her, or him (for naggers are not all of the female sex and the male nagger is the more virulent of the species), with a kindlier eye when we realize that the nagger often does nag us for our own good.

Gelatin for fruit desserts should be whipped until it is the consistency of whipped cream, thick enovgh to prevent the fruits settling to the bottom of the mold. Bed rooms should be well ven- ‘ilated If an open window makes too much of a draft on the bed, fit a board six or 8 inches high and just the width of the window below the lower sash. This gives & constant exchange of air between the two sashes, slightly warming the air as it passes in.

Helen Woodward, Susie, = shruggin, her shoulders. “I've got to eat. “Well, I'd rather starve right here in the big city,” said the seated girl. “Me, t0o,” said another. “Give me a few bright lights.” Now what awful job do you suppose it was that these girls had turned down? It was the job of public health nurse in a smail town of 2,000 people and it paid $200 a month. These jobs are going begging . . . actually . . . in these hard times. The girls don’t want them because the life is dull. They would rather stay in big cities without work than take from $150 to $250 a month in a rural com- munity where they know no one. There are thousands of nurses out of . But they all crowd to the cities, while enormous country* districts are without a nurse or doctor. After you are graduated, tne nursing | school will try to get you a job, but will not guarantee it. That would be impossible, The most brilliant gradu- ates are often kept right in the hospital where they are trained. The best paying work for nurses is institutional work, which means a regu- lar job in a factory, store or school. ‘The next best is public health nursing. Private nursing pays least. The private nurse makes more money than the others, but_she doesn't work all the year round.. In that fleld, con- tagious diseases, maternity and mental cases pay more than other work, be- csuse they are much harder. . The girls don’t like to take them. A committee of nurses said recently that some of the bad things about pri- vate duty are irregularily of work, long hours, a lonely life, no free evenings, no promotion.. And they have to make themselves fit in with' a new lot of strangers on every case.
