MAGAZINE PAGE FOR EVERYBODY HOME • HEALTH • FEATURES • BEAUTY • FASHION • FICTION ■ _ Cure For An Eating Problem Sy CARRY CLEVELAND MYERS, Pk.D. PERHAPS I have sometimes failed to make clear some of the advice I have given on preventing and correcting eating problems. Re peatedly I have 6aid: “At the be ginning of the meal, plaea befert the youngster the most essential food first, a very small portion of it, nothing more. If he 4o*s not choose to eat it, end his meal then and there and take him away from the table and let him have no other food till the next regular mealtime. Some months ago I observed a young mother trying to carry out this advice with a child 19 months of age, who wanted to eat only a few foods, refusing many others he needed for good nutrition. At the meal I observed, for instance, she gave him some carrots in a quantity not much larger than a lima bean. Be ate it avidly. Then she gave him a very small portion of tomato and he ate that. Next she gave him seme baked potato, hia favorite food. He yelled for more of it but she gave him another small portion of carrot and as he refused it she ended hiy meal. He yelled and cried and coaxed but he got no more food till the next regular mealtime when he was so hungry be ate quickly every food offered him. Nevertheless the mother offered him at this meal a small por tion of each of two essential foody she knew he had not chosen readily before. Not Offered Again At my suggestion, tne mother st the third meal merely had him run the gauntlet of eating etch very small bit of food offered, two of them, one at a time, before he got his favorite. But she did not at this meal offer him again any more of the first two foods. After several days he was eating practically everything offered, begging for more of the foods he used to refuse. Of course, if this mother had held out over enough days with her hard er way the also might have won. But it would have taken more days and have been more costly to him and her. Can Understand The child nearly three or older ean understand when told, “You can have that after you hare eaten this.” The child younger may get this through hii head much more slowly. But at any age the rule, One food at a time and in very, very small por tion, ia very important. No end of trouble arises over the insistence that the child eat “all of it, when the portion is as much as a teaspoonful or of two or more foods together. Suppose the child eight, nine or ten refuses to taste an unfamiliar food or another food he strongly dislikes, which is meant for the whole family. If you have good con trol of him and yourself you can merely tell him he must eat a bit, howaver small, of the certain food before he may have other food. Well to let him serve himself, taking as small portion as be wishes so long as the amount is visible to you. Proper 1 control of this child means that he must have no other food till the | next mealtime in case he refused the particular food in question. (My bulletin, “Eating Problems: Their Prevention and Correction,” may be had in a stamped envelope). Answering Parents' Questions Q. You often urge us parents to encourage the child at telling jokes. Why? a a - - ...j -j: .1 i « expression, of companionship in the family, and for general social ac complishments, not to mention the ▼slue to mental health and person ality. Q. Should children hear parents describe before guests, "My aches and pains and operations?" A. Of course not; nor anything else so silly and childish. Q. If Dad thinks it a good thing for his son to go to church, what is good procedure? A. To go regularly with his son to church, having also cultivated happy companionship with him in many other ways.

Government Intelli gence head, drag him from the closet for inspection. Taking advantage of the situa tion. Harry Underwood examinee the cap tive's suspectedly dyed hair and announces that with the proper equipment he can bring it out in its true eolor in a few minutes. At his words, the prisoner revives instantly howling threats at both Harry and Spencer. "And where?" Spencer asks him sardonically, “do you expert to do all these things.” "You old dotard!" the captive shrieks back. "Do you think you can keep | me bound like this? You'll wish you had died in childhood when my friends And me and get to work on you.” MY father nodded, as if the pris oner's shrieking arrogant threat had confirmed some idea in his own mind. “I think this is what we need, don't you?” he asked Mr. “X.” “Yes, it all fits in,” the F.B.I. man replied, and then my father turned to Philip Veritzen. “Thera is only one thing left,” he said. “Can your man identify this j prisoner as the relief elevator op-! erator who went to work yester day?” The owner of the Lansfield beck oned to Watkins, the head of the elevator men, who had been stand ing, quietly submissive, evidently waiting for orders or for dismissal, whichever came to him. “Come and look this man over. Watkins,” he said, “and tell me if you ever saw him before.” Watkins looked down at the pros trate man, and nodded. The Sane Man “That’s the m*n, sir, the one who gave me all the letters. I hired him yesterday.” “Then that’s all we want to know.” My father stood up and struck his hands together as if he were dusting something from them. “We have the man, and the letters, and A nice quiet place where we can talk to him.” For the first time I sAw a quiver of fear touch the man’s face, and guessed that he was visioning some thing of the unspeakable things which he had dealt out to hapless victims, while not able to realize that American methods of interrogation, while unpleasant and thorough, were not beastly. “Where are you daring to take me?” he demanded. Armored Car “That does not concern you,” my father said indifferently. “Philip, may we have the help of Adams and Winters in getting him down to the armored car?” “Of course,” Philip Veritzen said, and the man shrieked again. “I shall raise the dead,” he yelled. My father looked at him as if he were some rare specimen of moth which he just had impaled. “Harry, will you help Winters gag that man?” he asked. “But look out for him, he will try to bite.” “Not me, he won’t, if I see him first,” the big man said grimly. “Adams,” my father went on, “will you go with Mr. ‘X’ down to the car and get a bag? You know what I mean, ‘X’?” One with Holes “Yes, I know, the one with holes in it,” the F.B.I. man answered, as he started for the door with Adams. “Exactly,” my father said. “Have Joe bring the car down to that en trance on the other street we all know, and then come back here.” The man was gurgling now, as Harry Underwood and Winters deftly gagged him. Then we all waited without speaking until Mr. "X” and Adams came back, Adams carrying a huge sack with holes in it. “Even if he does squirm, nobody will be the wiser,” the F.B.I. man said, and then he with the help of Adams deftly inserted the prisoner into the sack, and the two men took the sack between them. “AH right, Harry; we can go now,” my father said. Then he came to Dicky’s side. “Good luck. Son,” he said. “Win ter* will go with you, Dr. Twitchell! and Katharine, after he and Philip have escorted Margaret back to the apartment. And 111 b« seeing you before morning.” (Continued Tomorrow) Odd Fact A 73-year-old woman who was taken to the psychiatric ward of a New York City hospital for obser vation was found to have $128,525 in currency in a silk belt around her waist. By FRANCES FOX THE clearest, best-cared-for complexion sometimes gets temperamental. It may be a change in the weather or it may be a special sensitivity to certain ingredients in some cosmetics. But whatever the cause, it shows in a bad reaction of the skin to make-up. Perhaps you already know you have an allergy to certain ingredients commonly used in cosmetics, or perhaps, on the other hand, you are wondering why your skin feels taut and painfully dry. If either is the case, you needn’t give up make-up entirely. Instead, try a special line of hypo-allergenic cosmetics made especially to overcome these problems. Using these special cosmetics you can go through your regu lar make-up routine with no fear that your skin will be irritated. Cleanse with the cream, follow with a face powder suitable for all type of skin. When it comes to rouge, you can choose from either a cream or compact type for each is free from known irritants and allergens. • There are also two types of lipsticks to choose from. One is indelible and long-lasting, and suited to those with only a minor degree of lipstick allergy. The other, made primarily to combat serious cases of such allergy, is unscented and non-permanent. Both lipsticks are free of perfume which might prove irritating and each type is made in a variety of colors. ......

October It A LIVELY state of affairs, with all efforts speeded up to exciting and constructive climax either in new propositions or projects, in travel, change, pleasant contacts and agreements. The pursuit of pleas ure for weekend holidays might al so thrive under a happy stimulus of sidereal forces. However, it would be wise carefully to study and plan all performances, sines there is a tricky undertone, calling for alert ness and discretion. Look for the hidden feetor, than set with finesse and stratagem. Far the Birthday Those whose birthday it is, may prepare fee * lively wad eventful year with much itirrinf on new projects or in fresh fields of opera tion. The creative forces and facul ties are under excellent stimuli for productive work, although there are suspicious or tricky undertones to copa with, and in a peremptory aad drastic manner. Study carefully underlying factors, look for pitfalls and "catches,'* then proceed on a direct and forthright plan, although using tact and finesse. Subtlety and strategy might pay better than strife or friction. Similar tactics should also prevail in personal com plications. A child born on this day will be earnest, energetic and clever, but might also find it expedient to re sort to the "easiest way.” Household Hints Some Heavy wool skirts don't need binding on the hems. Machine stitch close to the cut edges of the material, then turn up the hem and faatan it with a loose, catch stitch ing. If the fabric isn’t likely to fray, the machine stitching can be omit ted. Jnat pink the edges. • Paste wax gives floors a mirror like flnish, and should be applied in a very thin film with lamb's wool applicator or a cheesecloth pad. Too much wax sincere the floor and makes it slippery. light tints of flat paint allow the greatest radiation of heat from ra diators. Dark and metallic coatings keep the heat in and also prevent getting the most for the money spent for fuel. 4 A, \ , \ riCc9TtlW Wl.lMnmHUXilMMIM., ^ a t ■ » • A Girl Scout Cooking Badge ***** r Only Top-Notch Homemakers Can Acquire It , By IDA BAILEY ALLEN TO the Girl Scouts of the United States of America go top honors for fostering the art of Homemak ing. What a contrast to the survey conducted in 388 colleges and uni versities which showed that only 11H percent of the women students are specializing in Home Econom ics! And yet most of them undoubt edly expect to marry and become homemakers. The founder of the Girl Scout movement was Mrs. Juliette Low, of Savannah, Georgia, a fine home maker, a fine cook, and a connois seur of good food. She lived in both Savannah and London, England, which accounts for her favorite dishes, terrapin stew and fried chicken (not the crisp kind), both typical Savannah favorites; and from England tiny white-bait served with lemon a6 a fish course, and for dessert lemon sherbet with creme de Menthe poured over just before serving. Cooking Class Cooking was the first class opened to the Girl Scouts; and Mrs. Low I not only made it interesting, but i practical as well. Leafing through | the first Girl Scout hand-book we I read:—‘‘The real test of a good cook is to see how little food she wastes. She sees that nothing goes bad. She | also buys cleverly. Those who do not I understand cookery waste money.” Good tips not only for Girl Scouts advice for every homemaker today. From its modest start in Savan nah the Girl Scout movement has become firmly established through out this country. And home-making and cooking classes are still favor ite courses. The coveted badge for cooking is in the shape of a circle containing a mixing bowl, a spoon, a bottle of milk and a cup. To earn it, a Girl Scout must successfully carry out ten activities as follows: Plan and draw a model kitchen. Learn how to use the stove on which she will cook. Prepare a good family breakfast. Plan well-balanced meals for a week. Cook eggs in three different ways as scrambled, shirred or a custard. Make cocoa with three kinds of milk and report the family prefer ences. Using Left-Overs Learn several ways of using left over meats. Become acquainted with two vegetables you seldom cat by cook ing each two different ways. Cook and eat a hot cereal for breakfast. Prepare a one-dish meal that combines at least three of the foun dation foods. Friends, could you win a Girl Scout cooking badge? It might be a good idea forborne of us older homemakers to carry through these projects. Today, Savannah, Georgia, is the center of a great celebration at which the Juliette Low commemora tive three-cent stamp will be intro duced. There will be special cere monies involving prominent Savan nah citizens and high officials of the Girl Scout organization. Through this column I salute the wise, far-thinking woman wrho founded the Girl Scouts of America ■a >n high ideals for womanhood and practical classes in good cooking.

M.D. DOCTORS would have an easier time if all ailments produced their symptoms at the real site of the trouble. Unfortunately, they don’t and physicians must often be both clever and resourceful in tracing down the causes of pain and discom fort. Disturbances in the joint between the upper and lower jaw are espe cially deceptive. While causing al most no symptoms in the joint it self, they may bring about pain any where else in the face or head, in cluding the eyes, nose, and ears. This is because the joint is so close ly related to the facial nerves and the eustachian tubes which lead from the middle ear to the throat, i Cause of Trouble The most frequent cause of trou ble in this joint is complete loss of the molar or back teeth. An improp er bite, called malocclusion, may i also affect it. Locking of the joint may also result from yawning, a | blow on the chin, an ulcerative j tooth, an abscess around the tonsils, j or from a psychoneurosis. Spasms! may come from a boil in the oute^, ear canal or from poorly fitting teeth. Any of these things may throw the joint surfaces out of proper po sition so that eventually, they be come worn. In cases of this type there may be pain in and around the eyes, nose, or ears. Ear symptoms include such things as deafness, a feeling of stuffiness, and ringing in the ears. A grating noise or dizziness may be present Often these ear symptoms may be relieved by blowing air through the eustachean tubes. When there are disturbance# of the jaw joint, the lower jaw may move unevenly when the mouth is opened and closed. A cracking in the joint is often heard and a grat ing sensation is often felt. X-ray examinations of the jaw joint frequently show changes pro duced by the wearing of th# joint surfaces. Cork Disc# If the condition- is due to a loss of the back teeth, the symptoms may be relieved by wearing cork discs as jaw supports before perma nent, adequate correction is carried out. In doing this, the dentist puts cork discs into the spaces where the teeth are missing, and the jaw is fastened in place by an elastic head gear. The discs are added until th* symptoms disappear. A record is kept of the npmber of discs used so the dentist may calculate the dimen sions of the teeth to be put in. Dur ing this period, the patient may be given phenobarbftal, which is a sed ative drug, to produce relaxation and rest. QUESTIONS AND AN8WERS L. S.: I have been told I have a systolic apical murmur. What does that mean ? Answer: This term refers to a heart murmur, which is an abnor mal sound made by the heart when it beats. Such murmurs often indi cate damage to the heart valves. Food for thought Make a filling corn chowder for a soup and sandwich lunch by adding diced cooked potatoes and canned whole green corn to a thin white sauce. Season well with fine* ly grated onion* salt find freshly ground pepper. The more liquid and eggs in a cake* the longer it will stay moist. But it must be stored in a closed container with a little ventilation. Unless tllere is some circulation of air, cake will soon acquire a musty taste. ' A k Beauty Bargains Use your fingertips to apply cream to your face, then massage it upwards and outwards over cheeks and forehead with the palms of your hands.

If not, you had better look into the matter. If you keep on running all the time, as if there were seven demons at your heels, you are go inf to get grey hair and wrinkles before you know it. Fatiguo and nervousness are common ailments. They aren’t going to make tha sis tars any better looking or happier or healthier. There are times in a busy wom an’s day when nothing can do at much for her face and her outlook on life as a thirty minute nap. Ves, we hear the same old alibi, “I can’t sleep in the daytime.” That is be cause you haven’t tried. If you lie down all tied up into knots with your nerves yellinf at you and your mind busy with thoughts of what you have to do, you might as well keep on working. i-muraie Relaxation Relaxation Can be cultivated. On* can learn to go limp aa a rag. Mui - elea must relax absolutely; they won't unless the mental machine eases up a bit If you have worrying thoughts, chase them out .with cheerful ones. Lie on your back, hands at the fW**- Take long, deep, regular breaths. That is one way of'hypno tising yourself. Air washing the lungs is a soothing treatment Relaxation is recommended by fa cial operators. Experts have etti mated that creams and lotions are more effective when the beauty pa tient composes her mind as well as her face. At Top 8peed Most of us are going at top speed these days. It is hurry,hurry, hurry! High time to understand that the human machine can stand just so much activity and no more, that a certain amount of rest is imperative. Life must not be breathless. Life must be zestful; it can't be If one is flurried, nervous, fatigued. Weariness makes for poor judg ment, inefficiency, a jittery nervous system and prematura wrinkles.
