THE DXILY TIMES-GAZETTE . PAGE SEVEN SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1947 | BEAUTY FOR YOU-- Have Trim Ankles, Pretty Legs By HELEN Skirt hems high, skirt hems low, it is a satisfaction to a woman to possess pretty legs. This is the age of the slender, rounded silhouette that every woman adores, every balance. Those are fatted, and those around on spindle shanks, are not marching in the beauty parade. Improvement in leg defects takes place when they are systematically exercised in natural ways. Swim- ming is highly recommended by teachers of physical education. The force of the movements necessary to send the body through the water strengthens every fiber from the hips to the little pink toes. Too much stress cannot be placed upon walking as a means of keeping healthy and looking it. American ' women, alds, are not walkers. In England, women think nothing of clipping off a ten-mile hike. Cana- dian girls' shudder at the thought of tramping six or eight blocks. It may be the explanation of the over- development of many middle-aged figures. Gym work in nigh schools and colleges, together 'with, outdoor sports, keep young people supple and of good proportions. It is a pity that physical education ceases with studies. It is vitally necessary to keep the entire musculature in tip- top condition if the feminine figure is to retain grace and youthful con- tour High kicking is an excellent means of normalizing legs that are too fat or too thin. Go high up on your toes when you do this. Make every endleavor to be light of move- ment. Bicycling is recommended; it shuffles off fat cells and, at the same e, strengthens those muscles that have gone soft or those that are not perfectly developed. Jumping, rope has about the same effect as bicycling. Jump six times on one foot, six on the other, six on both. For fatted calves and thighs that have accumulated adipose tissue, try this exercise: Lie flat on the floor on your back, arms loose at the sides, feet close together. Lift the right leg from the hip, keeping it rigid. Send it as JAMESON Canadian. girls.. shudder. at. the thought of tramping six or eight blocks. * Pe high as ever you can, then far out at the side, holding the torso close to the floor. Stretch the muscles to the utmost; describe a fourth of a circle with your toes. Lower the leg in the outstretched position. Take a long breath, then swing the leg back to first position and re- peat. Use the left leg the same way. These movements call into action the powerful muscles on the outside of the thighs. Fat cells, unable to stand muscle activity, get discour- aged, go off and die. All this stretching and pulling of muscles, cartilages and ligaments greatly increases the circulation of blood in the lower limbs, helps to normalize conditions. Massage will break down adipose structures on the calves, but results come slowly. Movements must con- sist of pinching and rolling the flesh, so as to dissolve the undesir- ed padding.

Times-Gazette classified | Gg Pernicions Anemia Diagnosis, Treatment By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. Few diseases are single in their ef- fects. Disease changes in one organ soon bring about abnormal reactions in another, which in turn may affect a third, so that in the end the whole body may become involve' in a vi- cious cycle which leads ever down- ward. Pernicious anemia, for instance, is a serious disease which to begin with seems chiefly : to affect the blood. There is great reduction in the num- ber of red cells, together with ab- normal changes in their size ana shape. The exact cause for this wholesale destruction of an import- ant part 'of the blood is unknown, bit it is apparently due to lack "of some factor found in liver and liver extract, since the giving of these substances will hold the disease in check. Nervous System Damaged Where it is allowed to continue without proper treatment, the ner- vous system soon comes in for a share in the damage. In fact, ac- cording to Dr. R. Wayne Rundles of Duke University, nervous symptoms may develop even before the blood has undergone the severe and dras- tic changes which unmistakably identify this disease, Fortunately, however, even after these conditions develop, permanent damage to the nerves may be pre- vented or at least partly relieved by the prompt administration of potent liver extract. Recovery from these disorders was noted in 20 patients whom he treated. Three of the pa- tients had symptoms affecting the prain, such as loss of memory, less- ened ability to think, confusion and often delusions. Four of them nad a disturbance of the sense of smell, which affected the sense of taste. (In occasional instances there may be complete loss of the sense of smell.) The remainder of the patients had symptoms due to damage to what are known as the peripheral nerves, that is, the nerves running to various muscles, skin and other surface tissues. These symptoms consisted of weakness, tenderness and wasting of the muscles. There were also numbness, tingling and sensations of cold in the skin. The Spinal Cord If the condition affecting the nerves is allowed to progress, parts of the spinal cord become involved. This leads to rigidity of the muscles, which grow painful and tender. In many cases, symptoms affecting the stomach and intestines .develop, such as constipation, swelling of abdomen, cramps and diarrhea. The bladder a may be involved caus- ing inabi to control the empty- ing of the™ladder. In treating these disturbances of the nervous system due to pernic- ious anemia, liver extract is inject- ed into a muscle regularly each week. Rapid improvement occurs within four to six weeks, but be- comes slower after about six months, Bear in mind that the earlier diagnosis is made and the treat- ment begun, the greater the chances for complete cure.

Glamorizing How to be Your For beautiful nails, give them a : L 4 LUCKY is the lady who can tod- dle once a week to the beauty works, get herself prettied. Some of us find it difficult to spare the time, life being the stampede of activi- ties that it is. If Genevieve, the beautiful manicurist, grooms your pink finger sheaths every seven days, you'll never have to give them a thought, it is likely, But, if you aren't indulging in professional attentions, you'll have to do quick cleanup jobs now and then. Nails take a terrible punish- ment if a woman has to go through the domestic chores every day. The Proper Hools Ome should have the proper tools, a long, sharp flexible file of high grade steel, beveling files or emery boards, orange wood sticks, cuticle cream, a nail white pencil, polish and polish remover, Start with the filing, sweeping from sides to center, forming a pleasing oval line.

L J * under the nail eaves to flush up Mittle shreds that remain there; re- move them with the emery board. The reason for using the metal file first is because it does the job more quickly than emery. Remove the polish. Now for a good old scrubbing with hot soap suds and a brush, rinse and dry. Use the nail white pencil. Apply cuticle cream or mineral oil to each nail to soften the flesh that must be lifted gently with the orange wood stick. Do little circles. Pressure at the base of the nail must be avoided as the matrix can be injured and a deformed nail may result, Snip off hangnails if you are so unfortunate as to have these pests, being careful not to make a wound. After this, another hand washing to remove cream or oil, Before the polish is applied the pink shells should be as dry as a bone, absolutely free of oily appli- cations, Queen for a Day At Valley of Gold By CARROLL ALLEN Val d'Or, Que., Feb. 13 -- "So this is the land where men are men and women are glad of it." These forthright , words, spoken with just the right shade of hesi- tancy, sincerity and friendliness by Hollywood's tiny "Queen for a Day," Dolly Randall, were words enough to open the hearts of Que- bec's northland to her. They were words uttered by a tired, slightly dishevelled Hollywood housewife as she stepped for the first time upon Canadian mining soll and they broke ice with the entire Tlocal populace for two good reasons, Good reason No. 1 had to do with the fact that the entire Val d'Or populace turned up at the station to meet Mrs. Dolly (Queen for a Day) Randall, her husband and her escort party of photographers and newsmen. The second good reason lay in the fact that the ice in this part of the country confines itself to blocking roads and making ski trails impassable and is almost non-existent in the hearts of the people. When Dolly Randall stood before hundreds of smiling Val d'Or men and women and scores of autograph-seeking Val d'Or chil- dren and said what she did, Val d'Or has tended to reel out all the red carpets available in a small mi- ning city. Came on a Mission Mrs. Randall and her "retiring" husband, Frank, came to Val d'Or on a mission, When she won first award on a Hollywood radio pro- gram and subsequently was grant- ed the wish nearest her heart to come. to Canada and look for gold, Mrs, Randall was assured tha! in yal d'Or she would surely find that gold. Just to be doubly sure that she met with no disillusionment, the program told her, they would ar- range for her "hunt" to be con- ducted by two able Canadian min- ing authorities, Mike Mitto and Frank Salerno. Since Mrs. Randall has implicit faith in her husband's ability to do anything he sets his mind to, she brought him along, So the pair arrived here with a mission and in view of the demands made on their time by hospitality which is unrivalled even in their native southland, it is a mission which may go unfulfilled. The people of Val d'Or work hard, they say, for many months of the year. But when they relax they want to relax completely, to forget about mining and to lose themselves in pursuit of the many athletic games common to the north country. They want her to relax with them and Mis.' Randall is finding it increasingly difficult to "shelve" the real reason behind her visit.

Dolly Randall wavered. Should she continue the woaderfully re- laxing round of social and sporting activities or should she go to work and look for the gold mine. "For two cents," sh? said, "I'd stay right here for the rest of my natural existence. Never anywhere have I met such a friendly, genu- ine bunch of people as Canadians. I have half a mind to go on 3a sit- down strike, cancel my return res- servations and stay right here in Val d'Or. Even if I never even saw a gold nugget, the spirit of warm- hearted enthusiasm for life here would keep me interested indefi- nitely." Parka for Prospecting Dolly Randall had hardly finish- ed her eulogy when taciturn Mike Mitto handed her a roughly wrap- ped parcel and said succinctly, "Here, you open." The minute Mrs. Randall broke the wrapping on that package, she made her decision. For it contained a brilliant red, knee-length parka, guaranteed to ward off water, wind, in fact everything but wolves. "It's not only beautiful," Mrs. Randall said, "but it's practical and practical for one express purpose 0 tramp through the Canadian north- land.

J City Hall Brighter With Woman Mayor Prince Rupert, BC, Feb, 14 -- (CP)--The 'feminine touch is be- coming more and more evident around the dingy old city hall here. Since the election of Mrs. Nora Ar- nold as mayor, clean, gaily-flowered curtains have made their appear- ance on windows in the offices of the mayor and city clerk. The fin- ishing touch came when the old- fashioned cuspldors vanished and large new ash-trays appeared at the' desks of aldermen, The Movie Column By HELEN BANNERMMAN Canadian Press Staff Writer Gene Autry is planning to break away from the series type of pic- ture with which he has been iden- tified and will make eight Alfred Hitchcock has compared Ingrid Bergman's lovemaking in "Notorious" with Ann Todd's in "The Paradine Case." "Ingrid makes love like a Nordic-- Warm," he said, "But Ann is Bri- tish--Restrained." Hitchcock has borrowed Alfred W. Hart, British criminal court of- ficial, from the City of London as technical adviser for the courtroom scenes: in the Old Bailey in "The Paradine Case." People Paul Gallico has finished his script for his short story, "Ihe Snow Goose" and will watch it screened in England in the spring.

The colt will have a part as important as that of any of the human actors. His most recent film assignment have been in "King of the Wild Horses" and "Black Gold."

CORNELIUS BEBUKMAN Dear Mrs. Beeckman: Should a fruit cocktail be eaten with a fork or spoon? I've ordered it in restaurants that aren't so "ritzy," but no cocktail fork was served with it. Anite A fruit cocktail is eaten with a spoon , . , that's convenient, both for eating the pieces of fruits and then for the delicious juice. A cock- tail fork is used for sea-food cock- tails, such as shrimp, lobster, crab- meat. Salad Procedure Dear Mrs. Beeckman: Must one eat the salad before the main dish is served, or can fit be eaten with the meal? If the salad is already on the ta- ble but on the side of the plate, the hostess undoubtedly intends to have you eat the salad as an ac- cessory to and with 'the main course . . . a mixed green salad, for example, with steak or chops or chicken. If the salad is in the center of your place, it is intended as a first course, and then it would be eaten alone. Only Deceased's Family Should Be Listed Dear Mrs. Beeckman: To settle a discussion will you pleas" answer this question: In the newspaper notice of the death of a husband, should the deceased's relatives listed in the notice in- clude only his own relatives or should the members of his widow's family also be listed? Kate Only the members of his own]: Tasty should be listed in the no- tice. Delayed Wedding Gift Combines] Anniversary Gift Dear Mrs, Beeckman: A very dear friend of mine was married almost: a year ago, and because of circumstances at the time, I was not able to buy her a wedding present, Now it is almost time for her first wedding anniver- sary and since my circumstances are improved, I would like to buy her a very nice present. Do you think I should call this a "wedding present" or an "anniversary pres- ent?" AS. If I were you, I'd enclose a note with the present referring to it as a "combination wedding and anni- versary gift" . , . the chances are that you will be able to find some gift that will be particularly wel- comed now when there are so many more household items available than a year ago! Not Telling Guests It's To Be A Birthday Party Dear Mrs. Beeckman: For some time I have wanted to invite ten or twelve of my closest girl friends to my house for a par- ty. Since my birthday is to be soon, I'd like the idea and the anticipa- tion of having them on my birth- Fruit Cocktail day, but I don't want them to know beforehand that it is my birthday, because I don't want them to bring gifts. Do. you think it would be of me, or do you think:they would be embarras- sed, if I tell them after they ar- rive that it is my birthday? : Also can you suggest & way of aeing, he gg 1 put my - number on the cake? Patricia Your party-plan is an excellent charming think that on one's birthday one is going to be happily surrounded by dear friends! I'm sure the guests won't feel embarrassed at not hav- ing been told it is to be your birth day. Keep the secret until the birthday cake is brought in . . and even then treat the announce- ment lightly, perhaps saying some- thing like, "I wanted to have you all with me on my birthday, and I thought it would be fun to surprise years to enjoy what you will have." ion Te Development It's a fact, a strange and won- derful fact, that sometimes when a person appears to admire a pleas- ant quality in you that you know you really haven't but should have, you are sometimes inspired to get very, very busy trying to aoquire it , and the result may indeed be a triumph. The "appears to admire" I may be a bit of a come-on, but it may be, can be, just the stimulus you need to turn your thoughts to developing the desirable quality. (Mrs. Beeckman will be glad to answer questions on What Should I Do? submitted by readers). Cancel Sun. Concert At Univ'y of B.C.

On Feb. 2 Legion veterans at the University of British Columbia made a last-minute cancellati f a Sunday concert when local clér- gymen instructed them that the performance would be a violation of the Lord's Day Act.
