N. Y.—Now soft ness and pliability in textiles can be controlled. The fabrics worn by the two models ta Conover cover girl and a Powers beauty) are identical and received exactly the same treatment except that the one on the right is treated with new Aerotex Softener H of the American Cyanamid company. The inset shows laboratory proof of this great difference. The two swatches were cut from the fabrics worn by the models. The soft droopy swatch in the foreground received the Softener H treatment. The much stiffen swatch behind it did not. A number of products already on the market, such as underwear^ar.d pajamas, have received the Soft ener H treatment. It is said to be equally effective on wool, rayon oi cotton, and is particularly valuable for use with the many new chemi cal finishes that tend to product harshness in fabrics.

Many doctors think this two cereal idea is so good they’re tell ing Mothers about it! Strained oatmeal is a wheat - free cereal made from finely ground oat meal. It is enriched for extra nour ishment with both Iron, and Vita mins of the “B” Complex. It mixes to a creamy, smooth consistency when you add hot or cold milk or baby’s formula and serve. Then at the next feeding I sug gest you try giving your baby a specially prepared Cereal Food made of whole wheat, farina, and eorn meal. It, too, can be obtain ed with Iron and Vitamins of the “B” Complex added. The Iron needs to be supplied to baby in greater quantities than present in any form of milk, and the Vitamins may make the differ ence between just “getting along” and having baby just full of pep and vitality!
