C., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1935. “Homogenized” Milk Val TR Offers Base;} In Bleaching; Should Be Employed Three Times a Week | in Preparation. BY ELSIE PIERCE. A GOOD many women look a sad sight these days. A crop of freckles, tan in patches, peeling. The word on many lips these days is “bleaching.” “How can I get bleached quickly?” is the cry that beauty salons hear | even more than the usual “Make me | beautiful.” Of course, they think the only way to beauty for them is via bleaching treatments. I'm afraid some of you will be dis- heartened when I ask you to postpone the bleaching treatments for a while. | But let me hasten to explain that a| little preliminary work will pave the | way for better results. | The very healthy, medium-textured type of skin that has not been robbed | of its oil through exposure does not need the hot oil facial I will outline. | "That type can start the bleaching im- \ mediately. But the majority of skins are dry.] feathery, coarse-pored. Some are | painfully burned still and for them | it would be adding insult to injury to| bleach. Remember that bleaching Is! a harsh process. In changing the | color of the skin, it will by no means add a smooth texture. The thing to| do then is to soften, soothe, prepare the skin first. 0il to Lighten or Darken. Before applying the hot oil, cleanse | the skin thoroughly. Soap and water | may be used for this purpose. How- ever, 1 personally prefer the liquid cleansing cream followed by brisk pat- | ting with tonic. Now heat the oil| over a slow flame. It ‘should not be hot enough to scald, of course, but warm oil is more penetrating than cold. Almond oil has mildly bleach- ing qualities. Olive oil will keep the skin dark (a hint to those who wish | to preserve their tan). Pat on with | finger tips and leave this on as long as convenient. To make the oil facial even more thorough, dip strips of gauze in the warm oil, place over face and neck and pat so that they cling to the con- tour. Over all place a gauze mask with holes cut out for eyes and nose. After removing the gauze mask and gtrips, wipe any remaining oil with tissues, pat with a mild astringent, then go over face and neck with a bit of ice wrapped in soft linen. This | will close the pores. Three times a week and a few weeks of this treat- “MflfCh buds.” Novel tally card.

Certainly not the Bu- reau of Home Economics of the United States Department of | Agriculture! They have issued a| | most interesting and informative leaf- let explaining the manufacture and | | value of “homo- % 4 genized” milk for ' school children. | This is particu- !larly timely, coming ag it does just when moth- ers and school authorities are both considering the important | problem of school | lunchecns. The Bureau of Dairy Industry of the Department recommends that all milk for school purpcses be homo- genized. This does not mean adding | anything to the milk, taking anything from it, or changing its food content | in any way. It simply means putting the milk through a machine which blends the cream part 5o entirely with the rest of the milk that no cream can rise to the top thereafter. | Ice cream manufacturers often do this, and some dairies also employ | | this method, to make the milk | smoother and more evenly rich. But | the average milk, when delivered to ithe homes or schools, has a distinct top area of all cream. * k% ¥ 'HIS is all very well for family use, when you wish to use the cream | for coffee and special purposes, and | can put the remaining “skim” milk into puddings and soups. But when the milk is bought especially for the children to drink, something must | be done to mix the cream with the skim milk, so that the first glassful will not hold all the butterfat values and none be left for the second. Shaking the bottle helps some, of | course, but you cannot possibly shake | it enough to really blend the milk | | and cream to perfection. And, dur-| ing a busy school lunch hour, who‘ | through a straw, as so many young- | Much of the Cream Containing Important Vitamin A. Process Distributes Particles Evenly Through Liquid Many Children Waste how much of that was cream. Some children, of course, drank every drop. Others left a good deal in the bottle— as much as a third or more. The average amount of “leaviags”’ was nearly 6 per cent of the total amount served the child. * ok ok % 'HE worst of this was that of this left-over milk, a considerable por- tion was butter fat—as much as 16 per cent, and the child was deprived of a great deal of that vaiuable vita- min A, which cream contains. Thus the answer, apparently, is to have the school children’s milk homo- genized. Some dairies already have the machines and undoubtedly others | would install them if parents and school authorities demanded it. It would not pay a dairy to homogenize just a few gallons a day, naturally, but supplies for all city schools would amount to a large order, and the | process could go on in connection with | the pasteurizing system, which is/ common in most communities. | Here is what happens when milk is | homogenized: Cream contains the fat of the milk (butter fat) in tiny glob- ules, which are scattered all through the milk when it comes fresh from | the cow. Even when a microscope is used the globules are almost too small | to be seen, but they may be made still smaller in the homogenizer, | where the milk is forced through tiny | openings under terrific pressure. This | leaves the little globules scattered | about through the milk instead of al- | lowing them to rise to the surface. Thus a liquid of uniform smoothness and food value is obtained. Drinking this, the children would be sure to| get all the vitamin A, fat, calcium and so forth that makes milk such an important food. ’ * 4% | ANO’I‘HER point which is empha- sized by the Bureau of ‘Home | Economics is the necessity for a hot | midday meal for the school child.

Al658-8 8/420-R New Lesson Raises Fear 'And Tension | Teacher Is Expected to Supervise and Make It Easy. BY ANGELO PATRI. WH‘EN a child begins something new everything depends upon a good start. All children are afraid of new situations. Babies are afraid in a strange room, afraid of strange people. The feel of something never felt be- fore, the dog’s back, the marble basin frighten children for the instant. Faced with a new problem all chil- dren are in a state of tension. Fear causes tension and tension breeds fear. We have to do our best | to avoid both. Make the first experi- | ence easy and pleasant. It is not wise to start by saying, “Now you've never done this before. Try hard and you'll get it all right.” That “try hard” makes a child stiffen in every fiber | of his being. It makes him tense and | fearful. He will have difficulty in get- ting the new lesson. As in every other field of child | training, the first step must be made by the teacher. She must prepare her mind for the occasion. If she is doubt- | tul or afraid, if she dreads this new undertaking, the pupil will feel her tension and at once become afraid. The teacher's mind must be sure and strong, her plan well-laid, her faith set when she starts a new lesson. Her attitude inspires the pupil. The first lesson must be a success. If, for example, the teacher wants a |child to learn & new basket stitch, she starts the stitch, the pupils pulls | the reed through and feels he has done well. Gradually the teacher does | less and the child more until he has mastered the whole matter. The first examples ought to be so easy that the pupil can do them in his head. That gives him a feeling of mastery and he goes ahead unafraid. | All of us are touched with a bit of old-style conscience. Somehow we teachers feel that unless we give a child the hardest tasks he will not get his due, and so never arrive at full power in this subject, whatever it is. I remember a teacher I had |long ago. I saw one just like her | the other day. We had to begin long division. The teacher showed us how then she gave us an example that | reached across the slate and told us | to “do it.” | Very few of us did 1t within the week. It took most of us a month | to learn the process. I don't believe I ever would have learned it had not an older pupil found me struggling ment and the skin will be soft as silk and ready for bleaching. Cook’s Corner BY MRS. ALEXANDER GEORGE.

The bottom of the pots is the place to strike the matches. You will notice these “match buds” sketched in the upper right-hand corner.

One has a bright Scotch | plaid border of red and white, with a | black Scotty in the center, whose pose | is 50 lifelike that he looks as if ae| were about to bound off the card.| The complementary deck is bordered | with green and white check. ONE of the most important items to be considered in the party is the prizes. For a mixed gathering, with only one prize, it is difficult to find a suitable article. May we sug- gest, as something which would de- light either men or women, a most intriguing ash receiver shaped like e square box, with chromium sides and a black and white stripped top which rolls over the small round ash tray? The sketch will give you a further idea of its originality.

Nothing is commoner than to hear & girl or boy say: “Oh, I'll try mar- | riage once, anyway. You don't have to stick to it if you don’t like it.” And they don’t stick to it if they don’t like it.

It must be remembered, though, that the large, long- stemmed kinds used for bedding of estates have to be carried over the Winter in a cold frame in the North. Seeds can be sown now. Royal Blfle is a particu- larly good kind, and Blue Eyes is a pretty variety. They may be combined well with Spring bulbs, because they can't go to as many night clubs; because they can't afford the fine clothes and amusements they were accustomed to; because they don't like dishwashing and pushing a perambulator; because they find domesticity dull and boring; because marriage limits their freedom and | cramps their style. X ok K % 'OW marriage has always had every one of these drawbacks. It has | always had its disillusions. No mar- riage has ever come up to expec tions because husbands and wives are just men and women with their in- evitable faults and shortcomings and not the pin-feathered angels and noble heroes they appear during courtship. Marriage has always been full of work and sacrifices. Mar- riage has always had more duties than thrills in it. But our forefathers never thought of such a thing as breaking up their marriages sbecause they did not turn out to be all their fonest fancy paint- ed. It never occurred to them that they could welch on their matri- monial bargains because they had got tired of them and thought that, after all, they would prefer being bachelors, or follow a career to being married. Nor did it enter their minds that they could discard their husband or wife because they saw some one who looked better to them than their present spouse. They had signed a life contract for better or worse and they did not break it except for the gravest of reasons. Therefore, there were few divorces. ‘The present generation, however, | many drawbacks, many disappoint- ’b:m.g“ C:n m‘x:‘n::':ic T.k‘;?;ml::: :gg: spirit, trusting to luck and not to your which one continues if the path is| flower strewn, but from which one turns back if it proves a rocky ro.d-i { Swn effort and determination to make | a success. No general ever won a victory who commenced his campaign with the intention of running up the white flag if the enemy put up any fight. No professional or business man ever achieved fame and fortune who began his career with the thought that he would chuck everything if he encountered any difficulties. On the contrary, those who succeed in any line of endeavor are the men and women who have determined to’| make a go of what they have under- taken and to let nothing discourage them and no difficulty appal them. They have set themselves to fight through to victory, no matter how | long and hard the battle.

Many a business that was on the verge of bankruptey makes the man who had the patience to nurse it along a millionaire. But the man who gives up when the sledding gets hard is always sunk. It is because people do not go into marriage with this do-or-die spirit that there are so many divorces. They do not say: This is my lifework. This is the job I have chosen for myself. This man or woman is the one whom I picked out from all the world for a wife or husband and I am going to make a success of my marriage de- spite every obstacle, every discourage- ment. No, they go into marriage half licked already because they are thinking that they will give it up if it doesn't come up to their romantic dreams. So when wife loses her looks or can't make pie like mother, husband gets bitter and disgruntled and knocks all the underpinnings out of a happy home. And when wife can't have all the money she wants she puts on her hat and starts for Reno.

"WILL you have lamb chops or liver ‘ and bacon?” That was the | question put to a group of 10 or 12 at & small country club the other day | where meals are always delicious. And | what do you think? Liver and baconi was ordered unanimously! | Personally, I am always partial to | liver when it is well cooked—and that | means a very short time. A few years ago, however, there would not have been so many enthusiasts. Liver was not considered good for children, and there were many people who just thought that they didn't like it. Along came a flurry of publicity which made people conscious of the food value of this erstwhile cheap, and perhaps I might say, common iood. With the increased demand and consequent price even persons who had scorned it previously tasted it and liked it. Because it demands little cooking, liver may well go into the quick meal. While there are in my collection of recipes any number of suggestions for its preparation, I still remain faith- ful to my first love, fried liver which has neither an attractive nor a par- ticularly beautiful appearance.
