PAGE SIX ™. THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE'. _ BEAUTY FOR YOU -- Facial Treatments By HELEN JAMESON Methods of facial treatment vary somewhat, but they work toward the same ends, There is no longer the strong-armed 'thumping -- known as muscle strapping--that the customers endured because they thought they were getting their money's worth, Beautifying systems have marched a long way since the days when pulchritude were called hair-dressing parlors, Today's facial operator goes through a long course of training, She learns about facial muscles, their relationship to each other, the location «" nerves and arter- ies, She knows what she is about when she does delicate manipu=~ lations with creamed fingers. Treatment begins with a thor- ough cleansing of the skin sur- face 'with a light cream or oil. These applications are carefully removed. Then a heavy emollient one that offers resistance to the operator's fingers, is spread on thickly, It is surprising haw the flesh, especially if the skin is dry, will absorb these cosmetics. The neck, the shoulders and the upper portion of the back are annointed, the cream being rub- bed in vigorously where fibers are less delicate, No beautician will tell you that local treatment of any kind other than plastic surgery will remove deep wrinkles, But massage will so tone the tissues that these blemishes will not become more pronounced and, in many cases, they are made less noticeable. No quick presto-change acts can be expected. Yet every single treatment is a help, It gives the complexion a thorough renovat. ing, such as no casual face wash- ing ean accomplish, The friction removes dead skin scales and loosens dust deposits in the pores. It hustles up the - blood streams so they will bring renew- ed vitality to fibers and tissues that have lost tone. Wrinkles are indentations in the facial fabric caused by con. traction or relaxation of the mus- eles or by the softening of the padding just under the cutaneous covering, Contraction of the fibers of the foreh:ad produces cross lines.

West's Beauty Auwes Stars By ENID NEMY Canadian Press Staff Writer Calgary--(ClP)--Joan Leslie was porn .in Detroit, Jack Oakie in Ok- lahoma, and James Oraig in Texas but they all have one thing in com- '| mon--ability to entertain the pub- lie. * Their names are household words to millions of people throughout the world, their private lives are public property and their salaries look like sweepstakes numbers, but they have retained their sense of balance, During their stay here, filming the Eagle-Lion picture, "Northwest Stampede," they were deluged by fans, celebrity seekers and the merely curious but their years of training stood them in good stead-- there was no sign of annoyance or brusqueness. They don't work at 'being stars-- they prefer living like average peo- ple. And like other visitors, their first desire was to see whatever sights they could. The Calgary Stampede impressed them as much as it did any other tourist. Jack Oakie enjoyed the colorful costumes, James Craig noted the horsemanship and Joan Leslie thought the entire spectacle was "unforgettable." Their work keeps them busy most of the day but they try to find time to do some exploring on their own. Joan and her mother attend church on Sunday, James Craig likes stay- ing out at the ranch where the pic- ture is being filmed to get in some fishing, Jack Oakie and his fian- cee, Vicky Horne, were proud of themselves when they found that 's "Scotchman's Hill" given that name because residents could look down on the rodeo with- out paying. They admitted they were stunned at the begy of the Canadian Rockies. "We didn't think anything could Be ns lovely as California but this it" . As for returning at some future date, they'd prefer coming back on vacation when work didn't interfere with just "looking around." QUARANTINE FIVE FAMILIES Toronto, Aug. 7--(CP)--Quaran- tine was imposed on occupants of a block at Stanley Barracks here yes- terday following the removal of a seven-year-old girl from the site suffering from poliomyelitis. Five families with 15 children live in the converted emergency shelter quar ters. Approximately 600 other child- ren live in the barracks, former re- ception training centre for the Can- adlan Army and now an emergency shelter site. was A Physician Advises You By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D, REASONS FOR OVER-EATING HOW I wish I could ' convince every man and woman in this coun- try that overweight shortens life! If I could, I could thereby save thousands from an untimely death and not only that, they would have beauty, grace, activity and zest such as they have never known before. Believe it or not, this is one of the things about which all medical authorities agree. There # not a dissenting voice. Figures, too, are eloquent in telling the story. They show without any possibility of contradiction that too much fat, larding the body and internal or- gans, may be responsible for the earlier development of heart, blood vessel and kidney disease, diabetes and even cancer. Gland Disturbance Many people like to think that their overweight is due to » dis- turbance in the glands of internal secretion such as a lack of secretion from the thyroid gland in the neck or from the pituitary gland at the base of the brain. This is sometimes true, but only very, very rarely. Thus, the sooner we realize that overweight in most cases is the re- sult of eating more food than is used up by bodily activity, the soon- er we will be able to do something about reducing safely and health- fully. i Just the same, it is well to real- ize that though glandular disturb- ances are seldom responsible for our overweight, certain mental factors are, because they influence us to eat too much. Once we under- stand what they are, we have a bet- ter chance to control them. Desire for Food Strangely enough, anything which increases the emotions of sorrow or anxiety or the nervous reactions of being on edge or irti- table will further the desire for food. For example, Dr. 8. Charles Freed of San Francisco, California, questioned 500 patients who were under treatment for overweight. He asked them, "When you are nervous or worried do you eat more or less?" Three hundred and seventy an- swered that they either ate larger meals or ate more frequently. Most of the remainder answered that they did not eat more when worried or nervous but they did eat more when they we= idle, bored or tired. There are a number of factors, | then, which influence overeating. The child who is brought up in a family where it is common to have large, rich meals will imitate those around him and eat on excessive amount of food. When there is a lack of interest or distractions, a person may try to escape from his monotonous life by overeating. Temptation to Eat Persons employed in restaurants, candy shops and food stores are constantly influenced to eat by the mere presence of the food. Persons confined to bed may con= tinue with their usual food habits and thus take more food than they require. Thus, -in the treatment of over- weight it is: important that all of these various factors be given con= sideration. An attempt must be made to rid & person of his anxie- ties and emotional stress. Neverthe- less dieting remains the most im- portant part of the reducing pro- gram, Dr, Freed recommends a diet of from 800 to 1100 calories. Of course, the diet should be well-balanced supplying all of the n food rarts. I have outlined such a diet which I will be glad to send free to all those who desire it if they will send a large self-addressed en- veope, stamped with 6c postage. Names will not be used.

All\too often the pretty strands are packed away in undulations, coils and rolls, remain that way overnight because a woman is too weary or too lazy to take out the pins and give her thatch a rousing grooming. That won't do. The glorious crown should be alr.conditioned now and then. If you have an uppity hairdo, dis- mantle it now and then, shake it out, sit in the sunlight. Let it have release from the same packed ar- rangement. Is it possible that you have mis- laid your hair brush? Hair special. ists urge grooming with firm bristles and incidentally, a brush with all- around bristles is excellent. They say that the cash customers remain strangely silent when the subject is mentioned. They consider that a confession of neglect. When they urge a five-minute scalp massage every night they are likely to get a wan smile. All right, you customers! Yo have plenty of hirsute foliage now; but what guarantee have you that it will remain with you? * excellent for the purpose. L 2 The hair upon your noble brow is subject to. change. Its vitality is dependent upon nutrition, for one thing. It is possible that certain food elements are necessary for its well-being; that is one of about 40 reasons why you should not be a picky eater but should have a bal- anced diet. Scrupulous cleanliness of scalp and tresses is imperative. Never postpone the shampoo beyond a fortnight. Excessively Dry Loud are the lamentations about oily hair, but the chances are ¥ will stay by you longer than hair that is excessively dry, just as the oily complexion resists evidences of birthdays better than the dry skin. Dry hair needs lubricating the night before the shampoo. A little brilliantine should be applied to the comb when the hair is dressed after the washing. Be fussy about your shampoo medium, be you an oily or be you a dry. A shampoo agent that can- not be entirely removed by rinsing is a menace to the hair. WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT -- Eating Salad --and Fruit in Cocktail By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs. Beeckman: Lately I have been having the op- portunity of dining out in large, well-known restaurants, and two questions' have occurred to me which I would like to have you an- swer. 1. One time, when I had ordered a garden salad, I was served the vegetable in a salad bowl which was placed on a service plate. Should the vegetables be taken from the deep bowl and placed on the plate (as I have seen done sev- eral times), or eaten directly from the salad bowl, as I have also seen done? 2. When ordering a drink with fruit served in it, should the fruit be eaten? If so, is it permissible to eat it in the fingers? One drink (I don't recall the name) was served in a small glass, similar to a whis- key glass there was very little li- quor, and the glass was simply For the New Baby' 4763 INFANTS - A dear little layette for a dear little baby!

For | bi filled with fruit. How would one "get around" this drink? 8, C. 1. Either procedure is correct, but the one usually chosen because it is considered more convenient is to serve to your plate a portion of the salad at a time, perhaps half at a time, 2. The fruit in a cocktail (includ- ing the several kinds in the Old- fashioned cocktail you describe) or in a fruit drink may certainly be eaten if you can get at it without too much. difficulty and if you eat it gracefully after you have "cap- tured" it. You should drink the li- quid first, and then pick up the slice of orange, pineapple, or lemon in your fingers and eat it as neat- ly as possible. Then you can tilt the glass or do some other skillful man- ipulation to let the cherry roll out or to spear it. WATCH YOUR VACATION VOICE By Mrs, Beeckman Vacation-relaxation has a parti- cularly unfortunate way of reveal- ing itself in our voices. We have only to watch some people at re- sorts, large or small, and to listen to their uncontrolled voices, to real- ize that they consider that they cannot have a good time unless they screech. When they would or- dinarily laugh, th vacation-time or holiday-time, they guffaw. When they would ordinarily speak in a modulated voice, in vacation-time they shout, they scream. If you have an inclination to be one of these unruly offenders of ears and decency, remember this: High spirits are glorious, indicative of a holiday mood, but LOUD spir- its are vulgar, And true it is too that the peo- ple who feel they must scream in order to have a good time have the dull habit of constantly repeating four or five (or perhaps only one or two) of the current slang phra- ses, They seem to feel that these phrases, if repeated often enough, form a devastatingly witty back- ground of conversation!

Two Babies Born In Bargain Rush Benoni, South Africa -- (CP) -- While 10,000 women . clawed and fought each other at a cut-price . | sale, two women gave birth to ba- bies, a man was thrown through a plate glass window and police re- serves were rushed to restore order. The women started queueing be- fore dawn and by eight o'clock abo} 6,000 had gathered before the store. Free fights ensued between Eur- opeans and non-Europeans and four policemen who had been de- tailed for duty there failed to quell the mad rush which started when the doors opened. Early in the morning, during the excitement, while about 4,000 wo- men were trying to approach the store, two women gave birth to ba- es. ve A man was attacked by a native when he tried to push past and was thrown through & window into the store. The police arrested one man and the injured man was removed to hospital. 1 Women started fighting each other for possession of goods and eight women fainted during the morning. The Movie Column By BOB THOMAS Hollywood, Aug. 6 (AP).~The rend of stars making their own pictures continues. Brian Donlevy is the latest to join the lst of actor-producers; his lawyers now are setting up a deal for one film a year under his own banner. Donlevy joins Dana Andrews, Robert Cummings, Melvyn Douglas and others who have set up their own companies in recent months. Actors agree that is the best set-up for them, since it provides an in. come over a period of years. A straight salary is too soon swallowed by taxes, they think. With no tax relief in sight this year, more actors will be popping up as producers. High Seas : "If Winter Comes" will be whip- ped into final shape on the high seas. Director .Victor Saville sails on the Queen Mary August 8 and will. finish cutting the film aboard ship.

' Larry Parks' suit against Colum- bia is being watched carefully by other employees. Evelyn Keyes also signed a new contract before she got the "Jolson Story" role. And when Glenn Ford returned from the marines, he signed a new pact before he could play with Bette Davis in "A Stolen Life." The studio wanted seven years, but Glenn would give only five . . . Susan Peters is doing a fine job in "The Sign of the Ram" and al- ready there is talk of academy awards Robert Cummings hies to Victoria, Qanada, for a visit with friends after he finishes "Sleep, My Love." When he returns he'll start his first production on his own. Vincent Price has bought a screen treatment of Ibsen's "The Wild Duck" and he wants to sell jt to Columbia or U..-I. It has a starring role for him. The bill for "Arch of Triumph" has passed the five million mark. That's a lot of calvados.
