S. E. R.—My man friend taiked
me into getting a divorce. I think
well of this man and he says he
thinks well of me. Now he says
he is too old for me. Is this an
excuse that should be taken light
ly Am I wasting my time?
Ans: His ardor has cooled—
he’s on the alert for a quiet exit.
Make some new contacts and
don't give him opportunity of
leaving you holding the bag.
P. N. C—I married young, and
after 2 weeks my husband lfft
me. I married again and after
30 days we separated. I married
again and after 7 months we
-quit. I married again and after 9
months we quit. Now there is a
man I like and would like to
marry but he has lots of women
and I wonder if I should lose any
more time with him? I want a
husband for good next time.
Ans: Well sister, shy away
from this fellow if you are look
ing for a permanent marriage.
He’s a lady’s man and will re
main so. You mad^ a mistake
all along by choosing your mates
from the drinking, carousing
class. Mingle with a more settled
refined group and you can expect
better results the next time you
get married.
E. G. L.—I have a son in Cleve
land. He is a fine man. He wants
us to sell our home here and come
to Cleveland. He will help us to
buy a home there. What must
we do?
Ans: Visit your son in the
city and look the situation over
before deciding definitely to sell
your home. You are strongly at
tached to your present home and

I you will not care to make a per
manent change.
C. L. C.—I’m married and the
one 1 have in mind is also. He is
awful nice, goes out of his way
to do any favor I ask. I’m fond
of him but intend to keep this on
a friendship basis only, as I don’t
want to break up his home and
won^t let lym break up mine.
What are our chances ?
Ans: The odds are against
you—you are playing with fire
and will certainly get burned if
the close friendship exists. The
only way to keep this infatua
tion from running out of bounds
is to break it off.
E. M. H.—Here are my trou
bles. First, I was engaged to a
boy and he was killed. Next, I
was engaged to a boy and he!
started going with another girl,
and now they are going to gPt |
married. I want to know should
I try to stop them or let them go
on. It seems that I can’t get boy
friends easily.
Ans: Step aside gracefully
and erase all bitterness from your
heart. You couldn’t stop the mar

Meat Packing Industry
The start of commercial meat
packing in North America can be
traced to 1641 when a square-rigged
ship sailed from Boston harbor with
a cargo which a handful of New
England colonists hoped could, be
sold to West Indies plantation own
ers. Capt John Pynchon, Spring
field, Mass., and a few farmer neigh
bors had consigned hogsheads at
beef and pork, packed in salt, to
England’s colonies.

DRINK COCKTAIL,
DOCTOR ADVISES
CHICAGO, ILL—Alcoholic
dnnks were recommended by Dr.
Louis N. Katz, director of cardio
vascular research at Michael Reese
hospital here, as an aid in treat
ment of persons suffering from
hardening of the arteries. Dr.
Katz’ address was given before the
28th annual session of the Ameri
can College of PhysiciansT
“Tobacco should be discouraged
in coronary disease,” he said, “be
cause it leads to narrowing of blood
vessels, including those of the
heart. Alcohol, on the contrary,
chould be encouraged. A cocktail
or two can make many people see
life in a more pleasant manner and
helps them to relax. ' 4
“Wines with meals should be en
couraged. Alcohol leads to dilation
of the blood vessels and, presum
ably, this affects the coronary ar
teries as well. I find that per
mission by the physician for the
patient to indulge in alcohol makes
other restraints more tolerable.”

A recent news story credited Dr.
1 Austin T. Smith of Jefferson Hos
I pital, Philadelphia, with saying
j that nose irritations and many
other ailments similar to sinus!
infections are caused by heating,
units which absorb too much mois-1
ture from the atmosphere. In other,
words, humidity should be added to',
make up for the moisture that!
heated air absorbs.
Air’s capacity for holding mois-t
ture depends upon its temperature.
When air is heated, the capacity!
increases tremendously, being over
twenty times greater at seventy
degrees than at zero. Thus warra|
air is exceedingly thirsty, and in
satisfying that thirst it has to have
moisture added or the air you1
breathe becomes parched and
toakes you uncomfortable. . \
There should be some method of
evaporating enough water to ob
tain adequate relative humidity.1
The best method is to introduce
vapor into the heated air by means
of flash evaporation. One furnace
company does this in an exclusive
way by having the water from your
circulating system drop upon a
built-in series of cascaded pans.
Any surplus water that collects in
the top pan drips over into the
second, and so on down the line,
thereby instantly turning it iota
vapor. Being a part of the fur
nace, the pans are heated, which
accounts for the rapid evaporation
and insures the automatic con
tinuous feeding of the air with the
gallons of water it needs during
cold weather.
t If your present heating plant is
robbing you of healthful humidi
fied air, it might indeed pay you to
look into the humidifying method!
that is trademarked as the Holland
Cascade Vaporaire by its manufac
turer.

Survey Shows Only 54 Percent of
IP omen Continue Salvaging tats
A continuing opinion survey, in
which interviews are conduted
every sixty days by the American
Fat Salvage Committee, shows
that although 99 percent of the
nation’s housewives are aware of
the need for salvaging used kit
chen fat only 54 percent are act
ive salvagers. This means, the
Committee points out, that at pre
sent about half of he counry’s
homemakers are conributing to
the fat salvage program from
which every family benefits.
Salvaged kitchen grease, con
verted into industrial oils, helps
increase the manufacture of many
badly needed articles. Govern
ment experts have estimated that
the available supply of industrial
fats and oils in the United States
will fall about a billion pounds
short of industry’s requirements
during 1947. Increased salvaging
of household fats is one certain
way in which the deficit can be
lessened. During the past five
years fats and oils have been in
short supply. In that time salvag
ing of used cooking fat lias proved
to be the most dependable add
ed source of these raw materials.
Secretary of Agriculture Clin
ton P. Anderson, in a recent state
ment to the women of America,
said:
“Manufacture of many of the
things we all use and wear in our
daily lives requires industrial fats
or the products of industrial fats
Used cooking fats turned in by
American women have been and
continue to represent an import
ant part of our total industrial
fats supply. Every pound of sal
vaged fat helps meet the need.’’

New Longer Lines
Slim Heavy Figures
CHICAGO — Here's new hope
for the ladies, especially those
with the shorter, heavier figure,
who have been worrying about
what the longer styles frould do
for them. Herbert Levy, creator of
half-size dresses, has just an
nounced that the new Fall styles
will coordinate all the lines of a
dress perfectly to the new longer
skirt. The over-all effect will be
better proportioned and more
pleasing to the eye than when last
year’s hemline was merely let
down. As a matter oi fact, the
longer lines have a tendency to add
height and an illusion of slender
ness that greatly enhances the
shorter figure.
THE SUGAR ACT
Presidential approval of the
Sugar Act of 1948 makes possible
a considerable expansion of sugar
other states, Senator Butler (It.
Neb), pointed out today. Senator
Butler joined with other senators
in sponsoring the bill in the Sen
ate, and the President’s signature
following favorable action by both
Houses of Congress, has now en
acted it into law.
‘“This new Act provides a
guarantee to domestic sugar
beet producers that they will be
able to market 1,800,000 tons of
sugar each year,” Senator Butler
said. “This represents a greater
market than we have ever had
in the past for our sugar beets,
method of maintaining sugar I
prices on a more profitable basis
than before the war.’’
"Sugar beets have been found
to be a very good crop in some
sections, particularly on irrigated
land,” the Senator coq^inued.
"provided labor and equipment j
can be secured. I would not want ]
to try to tell any farmer what
to produce, of course, but I be
lieve many of them will be in- I
terested in investigating the pos- J
sibilities of sugar beets for next
year.’'
All rationing of sugar has bren
now been discontinued he pointed
out, and price controls will come
off within a few months. “We
nPed additional supplies of sugar
produced right here at home so
that we wfll never again be caught
short of sugar as we were during

Mothers have often asked me ii
it is advisable to let baby cry foi
any length of time. Well, of course;
it is generally believed it doesn’t
harm any baby to cry a little each
day—it helps develop his lungs an4
in a sense is a form of exercise
But crying for long periods usually
means something is wrong and
steps should be taken to stop thj
crying.
Remember, a baby doesn’t hav<
many ways for expressing hid
desires and usually crying is an
expression of hunger. If crying
seems to be too frequent and can
be stopped by feeding, consult yous
doctor, he may wish to increase
«the food intake or start feeding
other foods. *»
One food that most doctors are
recommencing be fed baby at an
early date is strained meat You
mothers will be glad to know that
specially prepared canned meat ig
now available for babies . . . made
according to doctor’s specifications
and approved by the American
Medical association. Your baby
needs proteins such as in meat for
proper growth and development.
Then, too, meat actually helps stim.
ulate the flow of gastric juices and
may aid in the digestion of other
foods.
Of course, you’ll want to check
with your own doctor about foods!
for your baby. By all means, do...
he 11 tell you just when to includal
orange juice, strained fruits, veg.
etables and meat in baby’s diet. t
