I I Beauty Enterthinment Fashions Journal*News Magazine Health Household Arts Recreation The Too-Thin Child By LOGAN CLENDENING. M. D. • The thin youngster is a great trial to his parents and to a cer tain extent to himself. There is only one reason why anyone should bother about a thin young ster, however, and that is the pos sibility that he might actually have developed tuberculosis. ^ Dr. Israel Bram has discussed the subject and he indicates that It is just as difficult a problem os the heavy youngster. • ‘ Bread and butter offer the best dietary means of bringing a thin youngster up to normal weight, If the habit of eating plenty of bread and butter can be established, along with that of drinking an ample quantity of rich milk, the youngster ’ s problem of gaining weight is practically solved. Un fortunately, this cannot always be so easily accomplished. ” Lack of Appetite This finding corresponds to what thin people tell you— that they actually don ’ t have as good an appetite as other people and, therefore, don ’ t cat as much. Of course,^ou see all sorts of opinion to the contrary.' One is that fat people don ’ t have good appetites and thin people gorge themselves, The Stars Say- For Wednesday, November 20 By GENEVIEVE KEMBLE SPLENDID opportunities for attaining high goals are presaged for this day according to the lunar transits. It is an auspicious time for approaching employers, superiors, executives, all those in power and prestige who may be disposed to assist in advancement, in capitalizing new propositions, or otherwise demonstrating signs of confidence, esteem and prefer ment. If such projects are to bo ’ manipulated by group action be tactful and discreet, with, pos- ■Tbly, the intuitions safely ac cepted for guidance. Shun impetu osity, irritability and headstrong tactics. Placate rather than force issues. If It Is Your Birthday Those whose birthday it is may be prepared to seek promotion, op portunity for reaching desired ob jectives, with .the substantial co operation of employers, superiors and those in authority, ^hose financial support and personal confidence may be required. But approach these with amiability and poise rather th.an impetu osity, aggressive and vexatious methods. Shun strife, impatience and dictatorial behavior, espe cially where the aid of groups may be required. It would not be amiss to be guided by intuitions or subtle leadings. A child born on this day should be energetic, imperious and mas terful, given to turbulence and strife, rather than tact and sub tlety, which would serve better in contacts with its ^superiors, who may be friendly, disposed to promote and favor. but careful observation'ahowi that these are not true in carofQlly measured dietary experiments. So that the problem of getting the thin youngster to cat plenty of bread and butter and milk comes down to the use of other methods to make him hungrier. A careful examination for any physical disability is presumed to bo the first act in taking care of the thin youngster. Ovcractivity of the thyroid gland, unsuspected diabetes, intestinal worms of all kinds, bad teeth, digestive dis orders, must all be investigated. Irregular meals, eating under dis tracting surroundings, poor dis cipline and diet fads in the par ents, are all calculated to be bad for the nutrition of a child. Improve Sleeping Habits Improvement of sleeping habits is stressed as an important means of bringing back the appetite. A youngster of 10 or 12 should have at least ten hours sleep each night. Ideally he should sleep alone in a wcll-ventilatcd room. The correc tion of erroneous sleep habits is not a matter of arising later, but of retiring earlien. Under medication, very little is. suggested except perhaps the ever present vitamin tablets containing Vitamins A, B, C,-D and G, which are excellent appetizers in the average case of under-nourish ment. - Psychology is very successful in young patients. Neither scold ing nor pampering gets results, but gaining the confidence of the youngster, explaining what is to be done and how, together with pa tient correction of bad habits, will accomplish excellent results. In most instances the parents have to be educated too. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS G. R., Toronto, Ont. — “ Could diseased tonsils cause bad breath? Could you suggest a suitable rem edy to combat bad breath? ” • Answer — Chronic inflammation of the tonsils causes an unpleasant odor, so that tonsillitis undoubt edly can cause bad breath. There is no remedy for bad breath. It treatment requires careful evalu ation of all possible causes. More bad breath comes from the nose than from the mouth. Any infec tion in the mouth or nose may cause it. Scrupulous frequent cleaning of the teeth (including the use of dental floss) is neces sary. Only a few cases arise, as it is popularly supposed, from the stomach. Ordinary mouth washes are of little value in the treatment, but the use of a powder or tablet that releases chlorine in the mouth is valuable. S. F. B., Vincennes, Ind.: — “ Are there skin cancers, and how do they appear? What is a good blood purifier? ” Answer — Cancer o the skin oc curs yery frequently. It affects mostly the skin of the face, form ing an ulceration or 'open sore. There is no such thing as a blood purifier. To attempt to treat can cer in this way would be to create a dangerous delay. Trouble With Pooh-Pooh — An Adventure in Shadowland — Pooh did ns he promised. He By MAX TRELL DEAR ME, what a lot of trouble Knarf, the shadow-boy, was hav ing! And it was all on account of Pooh-Pooh, the poodle. You see Knarf ’ s master Frank (spell the name Frank backwards and you ’ ll find how Knarf got his name) left the house to do some errands for mother. Naturally Knarf went along with him. Shad ows always go with their masters. He was just sliding down the front steps of the house behind his master when all at once there was the sound of barking. It was Pooh- Pooh. He came bounding out of the house, wagging his tail and making all the noise he could. Enter Pooh-Pooh “ Want to come along, Pooh- Pooh? ” said Frank. Pooh-Pooh barked more loudly than ever, and wagged his tail so fast you couldn ’ t see it. Ho cer tainly wanted to go. So they all set out: the little boy, bis shadow Knarf, and Pooh-Pooh, the white poodle. “ Now don ’ t run away,” Knarf whispered to Pooh-Pooh. “ We ’ ve got to do some errands for mother — I mean my master has tb do the errands. He will be very busy. He won ’ t have time to keep watching you.' “ I won ’ t run away, ” Pooh-Pooh promised. For the first few minutes Pooh- Household Hint trotted by the side of the boy, keep ing his eyes on him and wagging his tail joyfully. Then all at once there was a bark from a house down the street. Pooh-Pooh lifted his ears. “ It ’ s my friend Spotty! ” ex claimed Pooh-Pooh. “ I ’ ve gpt to see him and say howdydo! ” And away ho ran with Knarf and his master running after him, both of them shouting: “ Come back here! Comeback! ” To the Rescue But that wasn ’ t the end. Oh, you a n ’ t imagine how many ways Pooh-Pooh found to keep himself busy and Knarf worried as they all went down the street. He found bits of paper to chase, and other dogs to bark at, and he darted up and down, and got himself tangled up, and ran into puddles, and even There are so many “ unsafe ' things around a home.

You can teach the older children to cooperate with you in keeping sharp objects, such as pencils, scissors and knives from the baby ’ s grasp.

Poor Knarf was so weary when they reached home again with the errands that he tucked himself in a corner of the parlor and prompt ly fell asleep. And Pooh-Pooh tucked himself in the same corner, right in Knarf ’ s lap. You couldn ’ t be angry with Pooh-Pooh. He had tuch a good time! Don't Worry If He's Sound Physically By PRUNELLA WOOD W INTER weddings are growing in pop ularity these days, and Christmas brides-are just as starry-eyed ' as those who choose the tradition-; al date in June. If things go on at fhis rate, soon the song-writ ers will have to give up coupling June and honey moon, and find something to rhyme with December. In tune with the new ly important theme of Americana comes the Gibson Girl bride. She ’ s as demure as the belles of the Gay Nineties and as modern as tomor- She ’ s a hundred-per-' cent American bride, bor rowing from our own na tional traditions for the style of her wedding gown. With an eye to color and effect, and with a pa triotic overtone, she has E lanned the costumes of er bridal party, while her own gown is as in trinsically a part of the American scene as is the beloved Star Spangled Banner. The Gibson Girl of the 90 ’ s was a true expres sion of her era, and so is her 1940 counterpart. Today ’ s Gibson Girl bride keeps step with the wedding march in a gown of white satin, cut on lovely, slim lines that flow out into the magnificence of a dramatic train. She deserts the tradi tional low-cut “ sweet heart neckline ” for a prim high-necked wed ding dress with long sleeves. The Gibson Girl note comes with the puffs of fine lace at the shoulders which form the line of leg-o ’ -muttonsleeves. The lace is repeated in a par tial yoke and in the little lace cap perched behind her pompadour, from which falls her full- length veil of white tulle. . Orange blossoms are caught in the lace of the cap, in the traditional manner, and also tradi tional is her bouquet of white roses. The gown itself is of heavy slipper satin, which encases the body in a shining sheath to just above the knees, where it flares to form the spread ing beauty of the train. The Gibson Girl wed ding gown is presented by an American'design er, to hold the spotlight of an All-American wed- ding. It ’ s new and streamlined, and yet its source goes back to the American scene of an other day. To Vary Holiday Menu By ELEANOR ROSS It was Knarf who reached Pooh- Pooh first. He seized his tail and held on and was wagged from side to srae. But at last Pooh-Pooh stopped and behaved. HIGH TIME to think about Thanksgiving dinner and to plan if there arc to be any deviations from the norm, and something dif ferent served in place of the usual menu. If you are out to put on an extra show, then give heed to these recipes, all of them in good Thanksgiving tradition, yet man aging to be a mite out of the ordi nary. As a change from turkey, try serving roast goose with an apple and raisin stuffing, accom panied by baked spiced oranges. Choose large or medium sized navel oranges, and allow one or ange for every two servings. Cut oranges in halves, loosen segments with a sharp knife or'seissorf. Top each half with a teaspoon brown sugar, H teaspoon butter, sprinkle each of nutmeg and cinnamon. Bake in 350* F. oven for about 45 minutes or until well heated and until the butter, sugar and spices have permeated the fruit. Just before serving, top each orange half with a cherry. Arrange or anges in circle around the goose. Oranges must be served and eaten warm. Stuffed Acorn Squash For another novelty, servo acorn squash stuffed with honeyed chestnuts. Count noses to see how many squash halves will be need* ed. Allow two for each serving, to be generous. Halve them, remove seeds, and boil with the skins on, in salted water for 16 minutes. Plunge into cold water to pull off the skin. This may be done the day before. Peel some boiled chest nuts, chop lightly and blend with honey and nutmeg, so that the bits will adhere. Stuff the squash and hake on the big day, in a covered glass baking dish with a little' water in the bottom until tender and mealy (30 minutes). The only bird on . the table needn ’ t be the “ turk ” ! You can have a “turkey ” salad, made of fruit, colorful and pretty. For each serving, stand up half a red apple (unpeeled)* on a nest of lettuce, and arrange one piece peeled ba nana about 1*4\ long on blossom end, to form neck and head of turkey. Stand *4 slice canned pineapple up at back to form spread tail. Place pitted date at top, in front of banana, to make head; stick an almond in for the bill and lay pimiento strips on either side to make wattles. Use toothpicks to hold pieces together. Indian Pudding One of the most famous New England dishes is Indian pudding. It is typical of the simplicity which was a necessity for the Puritan housewife. So for a char acteristic, historicallv appropri ate dessert to enhance your Thanksgiving dinner, serve In dian Pudding and dress it up with vanilla ice cream. We suggest this dish, because we feel that this year, more than ever, our table should reflect the essence of things American. To make the pudding, mix U cup com meal, M teaspoon salt, Mi teaspoon ginger, dash each of cinnamon and cloves. Add evaporated milk to moisten. Scald milk with 1% cups water, using 1% cups of milk in all. Add meal to scalded milk, then stir in Mi cup molasses. Turn into a but tered baking dish and bake in slow oven (800' F.) for 2 to 2% hours. Stir occasionally. Six servings. Words of the Wise 'Friendship consists in for getting what one gives, and re membering what one receives. — (Dumas Fils) Stuffing the Traditional Bird, Goose or Roast Pork By BETSY NEWMAN THANKSGIVING DINNER is to be planned for in this week ’ s menus. If you are having turkey, stuff it with sausage dressing; if goose, make a raisin and apple stuffing; and if you serve pork roast instead of fowl, a sage and onion dressing is nicest, in my estimation, and of course you se^ve apple sauce with it. Today ’ s Menu Grapefruit and Cherry Cocktail Roast Turkey, Goose or Pork Whipped Potatoes Cranberry Jelly Creamed Lima Beans or Succotash Pickles Pumpkin Pic or Mince Pie Cheese Salted Nuts Coffee Grapefruit and Cherry Cocktail You can use fresh or canned grapefruit and canned, maraschi no or candied cherries.

His Own Playroom Dr. Myers Disapproves for Toddlers By GARRY CLEVELAND MYERS. Pk.D. • A great many young mothers fret because they cannot have a separate playroom for the child from one to five. Perhaps some impractical child experts have been responsible for this foolish notion. ; If such an expert were only to observe thfc toddler in the average home, ho would discover that the little tyke will not, of his own accord, stay long at a time in his own playroom alone. Even when this youngster has playmates, he and they prefer to spend most of their time where the other mem bers of the family are. The sepa rate, playroom, so far as the tod dler ’ s preferences go, is imprac tical, except as a place to stofo playthings. The tot wants to wander about tho house with his mother. Ho wants to see what sho is doing, now and then imitating her. He wants to talk to her ami have her talk to him, especially to answer his questions, unendingly. Fortunate the tot and his moth er if he, as soon as he has begun to toddle, has learned the mean ing of NO, has learned there are n certain few things he must not do or have, but hundreds of others that he may do. Fortunate if his mother and father never weary of answering his questions, listen ing attentively to what he has to say, explaining things td him, tak ing the time and patience to show him how to be careful in the use of new things. Tho little child should have, of course, a place or corner of a room with low boxes and shelves in which to keep his playthings. , Older Child P»?eeds Room especially tho ’ teen-age boy and girl. For general health, children should have separate beds, even if only a very inexpensive cot. Chil dren sleep better when alone_ When two children share the same bedroom they may keep each other awake at bedtime or waken each other too early in the morn ing; but on the other hand, they may profit from conversation. In case they cannot be disciplined effectively, let one go to sleep In an adult ’ s room, to be carried back to the children ’ s room when the adult retires. Plenty of Fresh Air Even with some crowding, if there is ample fresh air, the chil dren through wise management by their parents may gain some thing in character through mak ing the necessary adaptation be cause of the necessity of “ doubling up. ” Yet one cannot understand hpw best mental health, person ality ami character can develop with a family crowded into a few rooms, as so very often is the case. Some of us little realize tho handicaps some children and their parents must endure from con gested housing.*- You may receive a graded list of playthings by writing me in care of this paper, enclosing a self- addressed envelope with a three- ccnt stamp on it. Also measure ment.-. for home-made blocks. The child over five or six may profit greatly by having a sepa rate playroom, even if it must serve also as a bedroom, where ho can continue at building and cre ating-things over periods of days at a stretch, with assurance that his things won ’ t be disturbed. It ’ s tho boy or girl over eight or ten who needs a room of his own, Solving Parent Problems Q. Should an employed youth, living with his parents, receive and use his own pay check? . A. As a rule, yes. But ho should pay a regular amount of board. Q. At what age can a child as sume responsibility for making and keeping his own engagement* at the dentist? A. I know three children who, soon after entering school, began to take on this responsibility and were proud and happy to do so. They first visited the dentist at about two years of age. PITFALLS OF LOVE\ A Sequel to ‘ ‘ Marriage Meddlers\ ADELE GARRISON Marion's Cry, ‘ ‘ You ’ re Hurting Me,\ Reaches Madge and She Prays 6icky Will Reach the Ticer Home in Time FOR A panic-stricken fraction of a second I stood paralyzed in body and spirit at the horrifying revelation that had come to me over the telephone. That Marion, Gillian ’ s sheltered darling, should be answering docilely the harsh commands of some unknown man, and that man so markedly alien to her family and her training, while her mother was in anguished ignorance as to her fate was sim ply unbelievable. Yet it was happening, I realized that a split second later, and sprang into action. “ Marion! Marion! ” I called frantically again and again, al though knowing that nothing I could do at tho farmhouse could change the situation one whit, I could only pray that Dicky would be in time. I was about to hang up the re ceiver and rush back to Katherine for consultation when I heard an other voice over the telephone, calling “ Oh! Mrs-. Graham. Don ’ t hang up! Can you hear me? ” “ Yes, Mrs. Ticer, ” I returned, for the frantic voice was that of my neighbor. “ Did my husband get there in time?'* “ No, he didn't, ” she said. “ That awful man grabbed her and hus tled her out of here, and got her in the car just ns Mr. Graham rounded the curve. The driver of the man ’ s car had the motor run ning, all ready to go, and honestly, Mrs. Graham, it would have made tho sight leave your eyes to see the way that man fairly threw Marion into the car, and piled in himself while the driver set it go ing. And they just streaked it down the road, with Mr. Graham racing after them like mad. ” Two Against One “ Was anybody with Mr. Gra ham?” I asked faintly, for a sud den panicky fear had come to me, Dicky was alone, but I knew that he would stop at nothing to rescue his old friend ’ s daughter from tho thralldom of tho man who evi dently had some domination over her, and from the consequences of her own folly. I have learned to judge voices, and that of the man who had spoken so peremptorily to Mary, was that of a real or potential criminal. I would have staked much upon it. And he had another man with him, tho driver, who no doubt was in whatever mischief was brewing. Two against onel The cards were stacked against Dicky un less— I listened breathlessly for Mrs. Tlcer ’ s answer to my query. “ No, he was alone in the car, ” she said, and my spirits sank to the nadir again. I had been pray ing that he might be in time to rescue Marion. By any standard of decency I could not reverse the prayer, but I knew that I would not know peace until I should be assured of his safety. “ Mrs. Graham! ” My good neighbor ’ s voice was troubled as she spoke my name. “ Yes, Mra. Ticer.” “ I feel so bad that I couldn't stop Marion. But I want you to know I did the best I could., When .she came in here, she was so f use?d SYNOPSIS: — At her Harbor f»rm- e.
