As a gen rule, a well-balanced diet is all that is required. The patient should try to lead as normal a life as possible but physical and mental strain should be avoided.

Coxwell, manager of a large Canadian play-publizhing house said today in an interview. Commenting on the fact that this year's Dominion Drama Festival at London, Ont, May 5-10, would see only two Canadian plays, Miss Cox- well said publishers demanded that a playwright's work show evidence of the requirements of producers and a knowledge -- "if not a mast- ery"--of the technique of the craft. "An intimate connection with an amateur producing group can be of great assistance to playwright," serve as a useful laboratory in which he can learn how the wheels of uction turn and discover the cal details which constitute the advantages or shortcomings of a play on the stage." 'The two n - written plays to be presented at London are Louis Hemon's "Maria Chapdelaine," adapted Paul Gury of Montreal, and "Bi in Arms," by Merrill of Toronto. Miss Cox- well said it was pitiful that more plays were not expressly written ev- ery year for the Festival. Founder of the Canadian Play- wright series, she said the success expected of these plays by Cana- dip authors has never been achie- Some of them, however, have been republished four or five times and have been well received by am- ateur groups in the United States and Great Britain, A great deal of the blame lies with Canadian amateur theatric- al producers, "If sufficient people in Canada wanted Canadian drama, I cannot believe that our. writers would fail them," she said, 'The Canadian playwright often has no conception of practical pre- scribed bounds for a play -- "the Duinber of Sharaciers which he in- luces an e number of called for." Bene Sigs fine plays are useless be- cause their authors refused to re- cognize limitations." Miss Coxwell believes the pre- sent day in stage history is the® most opportune for the playwright. Perhaps the best medium for the g playwright is the one- ae Play, since publishers sell 500 T cent more short plays than Thyse-ant uations, pay probably is the res the interest stimulated +e Dominion Drama Festival and oth- er dramatic competitions."

Hard water builds up a lime scale which detracts from the appearance of fine china and occupation should be chosen which will not be dangerous should an attack occur while at work. Drugs Used The drugs used in the treatment of most cases of epilepsy include phenobarbital, bromides, and & prep- aration known' as phenytoin. Of course, none of these preparations should be used except under the di- rections of a physician. Dr. Handley advises that the phenobarbital should be tried first. It may be taken twice a day at the and then increased to three or four times a day. With the phenobarbital the patient may be- come drowsy, which indicates that the dose is too large. Such prep- arations as amphetamine or. caf- | feine may be given with pheno- barbital to overcome ita ing action. = Bromides have been used in the treatment of epilepsy for many years and their value is well estab- lished. However, their continued use may cause severe on. par- ticularly in elderly people. Phenytoin has proved of great value in the kind of epilepsy in which there are convulsions. Reac- tions to it may also occur and in such cases the dose must be reduced or the drug discontinued. Combina~ tions of these drugs may also be found beneficial.

It is up to the girls to make themselves as attractive as possible, just for the sake of the comfort of the public eye. To do that they must learn about the art of dress, which is no small matter. Clothes should improve the feminine shape, they should flatter the complexion, be on friendly terms with the color of 'the hair.

They show that infant mortality (children. under one year) was 43 per 1,000 births, as against 46 in 1945 and 52.8 pre-war. Twenty-seven babies out of every 1000 died at birth, as compared with 38 per 1,000 pre-war. The birth rate at 19.1 per 1,000 of the population, says the report, was 4 per 1,000 up on the last pre-war year. Thousands of children are now being saved by diphtheria immuni- zation, the report points out. Deaths from diphtheria averaged about 3,000 a year before the war; last year 444 died.

CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs. Beeckman: 1, My first marriage was a run- away marriage, and I have certain ly lived to regret it in more ways one. Since I have been divore- ed my mother and father have been s0 kind and understanding, and now that I am going to be married again, they are doing everything to|' make it a happy occasion. One of he questions that is most impor- tant to me is whether or not it is proper for the bride at her second marriage to be given in marriage by her father. I want so much' to have my father give me away if this is correct, and he very much wants to. . 2. The wedding is to be in our home. Blue, particularly light blue, is my most becoming color. I am slim, short, have very light hair, would you approve of my wearing a dressmaker-type suit in satin, very light blue, just a little darker than "ice blue", with a small, smart flower hat to harmonize with this shade? 3. At the ceremony at our house, there will be only the members of our familles and a few intimate friends; and these will, of course, be invited by word of mouth. But we would like to send formal announce- ments, and because I am so proud this time to liave my parents spon- sor my marriage, I would like to have these announcements in their names, Is this correct, Mrs, Beeck- man? If so, would my name be used with only my first name, as for a first marriage. (Even though I have retained my ex-husband's sur- name?) Katherine 1. Yes, your father may, and shoulld, give you in marriage! 2. This is a perfect plan for your costume, it will be appropriate, and I am sure, glamorously becoming. 3. Yes, it is proper for you to send formal announcements of your marriage, and these should be Sponsored by your mother and fa- ther, The wording of these is the same as for a first marriage. . . EX- CEPT that your name is given with your ex-husband's name, For exam- ple, Katherine Smith Brown (Brown being your ex-husband's name). Should Guest Wait For Hostess to Begin to Eat/ Dear Mrs. Beeckman: 1. At a dinner party shoulld one eat before the hostess has begun to eat? At dinners I have noticed, quite often, that some "people seem to hesitate to begin eating before the hostess does. But this seems foolish to me. 2. At a buffet party, when the ser- vice is at bridge or other small tables, should those served at one table walt before beginning to eat, until the guests have been serv- ed at all the other tables? ; Peggy M. 1. And foolish it is, and not ex- pected, that the guests wait for the hostess to eat before they begin. to eat, A guest shouldn't appear too eager to begin, but properly may begin when two or three other guests have heen served, ('Tis said that the custom of waiting for the hostess to begin was brought about by the hesitation of those who didn't know the answer to "Which fork to use " until they saw which one the hostess took up.) 2. At each small table those serv- ed first wait until all at that to- ble are served. . but it is not ne- cessary for those at one table to. - wait until the guests have been ° served at all the other tables. (An exception to the rule is that at each small table, two who are served, of course may properly begin to éat be- fore the arrival of two other who take their seats at the table.) !Frankness" is an Unruly Quality Do you brag about your "frank- ness?" Do you smugly and fondly boast, "I always believe in being frank, I say what I think right to a person's face?" Watch it, watch. it. One of the quickest ways of making yourself a first class pest is to go ak the highway of life hurting bwin, Boge Ao Bo os i interfering, because of a ridiculous insistence on what you may be pleased to caill "being frank"... telling people what you think of them and of their actions. Knowing when to mind your own business is golden wisdom! (Mrs. Beeckman will be glad to answer questions on What should I Do? submitted by readers.) Ancient Tarks Had Short Lives In Turkish populations of 1,000 to 5,200 years ago, few attained a ripe old age. According to" Dr, M. S. Senyurek of the University 'of An- kara, who reports his findings in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology, three-fourths pf the people died before they were 40. The average age at death of those who survived the first een years was 35 for men, 28 for the women. Of 120 bodies 'éxdmined, only seven reached 60 years of age; twenty-five died before they reach~ ed 12. If skeletons of all the in- fant dead had been preserved, the proportion would be even higher. The shorter life span of the {émale is accounted for by the hazards of childbirth, UI yout GROCER UPSET STOMACH QUICKLY CORRECTED BY'S little "Tummy" is often easily upset. tis easily righted again, too, 4 ust how to do it.
