SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1948 . THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE SEVEN BEAUTY FOR YOU -- Fingernail It is just one of those things! ~voure all togged up in your very dry goods, waiting for that new au to come and take you places. And you break a fingernail. Don't get, furious and throw the nail polish out of the window. Something else may have caused your claws to be- come brittle. Fingernails often reflect the state of the body. Some authorities in the field of dermatology hazard the guess--they don't claim they know-- that sub-acidity of the system may cvidence its presence by excessive dryness of the nails, It may be re- sponsible for little furrows that sometimes appear. This condition may be due to digestive disturban- ces, sluggish blood streams or need of dental attention. Chronic disorders may be reflect- ed in the appearance of the human: talons, In heart trouble they lack rosy colorings. Some diseases even change the shape and the size of the nails or cause a thinning so pro- nounced that the ends curl up spoon fashion, A nerve injury may leave a mark, Pressure at the base of thd nail will so injure the matrix, where cells are forming, that the new growth is spotted, even deformed. There is a possibility that nail troubles may be due to a diet defi- ciency. Everyone should play safe-- for the sake of the complexion, the hair, the health generally--by eat- ing foods that supply various ele- ments necessary for well-being. The calcium group contains Vit- amin D, which provides strength and protection to the teeth. Mineral salts are essential You get them ir leafy, green vegetables -- spinacly, lettuce, water cress, asparagus, and raw vegetables such as carrots, cab- bage and celery: Orange or tomato juice should be taken every day, if one is to be in tiptop form. When women have a better understanding of the effect nutrition has on appearance, as well as health, less money will go into the upkeep of the make-up box. - Problems Orange or tomato juice should be taken every day. * Care of the fingernails includes daily lubrication; If the hands are immersed in water many times a cay, as happens with the busy home boss, the natural oil that keeps the nails in condition is removed. With- out this oil, they become brittle, Use a cuticle cream every night; it will have no ill effect upon polish. Friction the nails vigorously to stid the underlying blood streams that give them coloring. While the cream is on, run the orangewood stick under the cuticle so as to detach it from your nail. Then never a hangnail will appear to vex you. oo A : Mixing Bowl Hello Homemakers! School days mean a change in household routine in many homes where lunches must { re packed every morning. No easy Job, with foodstuffs, especially but- ter and meat--necessary for a good sandwich--sky-high in prices.- Un- fess a lunch box provides variety, no matter how healthy the appetite, a youngster soon loses interest. The child appreciates having an attractive container in whith to carry his lunch and this should be cleaned and aired every day. A small thermos for hot beverage or soup on a chilly day will be just what he needs. . A general rule for lunch-packing to maintain good health would be to include something hearty, some- thing raw, something sweet, some- thing good to drink and something for a surprise. sandwiches top the list of lunch- box energy foods. The fillings usually are rich in proteins which help to ward off that let-down feel- ing. For example, cheese, minced meat, chopped egg, and vegetable relish mixture of chopped cucum- ber, tomato and celery or grated carrot and nuts. A bottled salad with bread and butter is not any trouble (as scme think). Don't for- get the salt and pepper and another small jar of carrot sticks, celery and radishes. Easy to pack desserts are more of a problem. A wedge of melon, an apple, an orange cut in sections, make good eating.

WHALE'S TEETH STOLEN Port Elizabeth, South Africa (CP) ~Teeth from the jaw of a whale skeleton in the museum hore were stolen recently. The curator, who believes the teeth were taken by a boy to be used for making a knife handle, said they are being reploced by wood-and-plaster models. A Physician Advises You By HERMAN A. BUNDESEN, M.D, MIGRAINE HEADACHE Migraine headache has been call- ed the most common complaint of civilized people. However this may be, migraine is a -frequent com- plaint, shown by special studies to affect about eight out of evéry hun- dred persons. Migraine, like asthma and a num- ber of other ailments, comes on in periodic bouts. The chief symptom is one-sided headache, accompanied by irritability, sickness at the stom- ach, vomiting, and constipation or diarrhea. While the pain is usually confined to one side of the head, it may shoot downward into both face and neck. Atack Renewed An attack of migraine can be promptly relieved by doses of a drug known 'as ergotamine tartrate given either by mouth or injection into a muscle. The earlier in the course of an attack the preparation is given, the more rapidly is relief obtained. After the ergotamine is administered, the patient should rest in bed for about two hours. It is better to remain in a dark, quiet room and to take no food or liquids. An ice-bag placed on the head is helpful. While an attack of migraine may be cut short by this treatment, it is a more difficult matter to prevent an attack or to lengthen the inter- vals between them. Diet does not seem to be a factor of particular importance in this disease, although there may be a few migraine vic- tims who are allergic or sensitive to certain food. In such cases, of course, the foods which cause diffi- culty should be avoided. Most patients with migraine are intense, driving personalities, who use up a great deal of energy during periods of strain and become over- fatigued. At bottom they suffer from feelings of insecurity which drive them to seek perfection in all that they do. Their high standards for themselves' and others lead to easy dissatisfaction about their family finances and . personal life. Thus, these individuals are pre- disposed to migraine both by their physical and mental make-up. In order to prevent the attacks, it is necessary that the patient under- stand the underlying cause of his trouble, Treatment includes reassurance, suggestions, and re-education. In other words, the patient must often alter his manner of living. He must be given details of the manner in which he should conduct his work and the time he should take for re- laxation and rest. He must be taught to conserve his energy and not waste it in futile brooding and worry for here, as elsewhere, he does a thorough job. After periods of increased work, he should have rest and recreation, During the first week of this pre- ventive program, the patient may be given phenobarbital, but this drug should not be continued the second week. The drug is used only to aid the patient in changing his habits. SY In many instances, migraine dis- appears after the ages of 45 to 50. This may occur because with in creasing age there is a decline in nervous tension. However, in a few increasing difficulties in adjust- instances, middle age may bring ment to surroundings, with the re- sult that the migraine becomes worse instead of better.

GLAMORIZING Hair Needs Frequent Brushing By HELEN A spiral brush is excellent for doing a really thorough job. Use it with a rotary motion and * LJ LJ No matter what kind of a hairdo a girl wears, one beauty rule is nec- essary. The glorious crown must have frequent brushings, it must be shampooed often, and the scalp massaged and kept in an immacu- late state. You can't have style without sheen. If the hair is neg- lected it has a sad look as if the shafts were only half alive. It doesn't stay put. When one tries to arrange it, it has tantrums, flies every which way. Brush it well every night and you will see how nicely it will behave. For this, a spiral brush is excellent. Use it with a rotary motion and a twist of the wrist. One is all too likely to place the blame on the permanent when the head looks messy, or fancy that the shampoo medium is too drying. All the poor thatch needs is a little FOLLETT a twist cf the wrist. petting and loving care. If the growth is healthy and well kept almost any hairdo will look neat, The trend, of course, is toward simpler coiffure arrangements. That's good news to the busy lass- ies who have little spare time. Clut- tered curl effects are definitely out, as are the frizz tops. Preferably, especially for young women, hair should be fairly short, three or maybe four inches. But if the longer bob is worn, an attempt should be made to comb it into an arrangement that avoids heaviness at the shoulders. With tresses smooth and shining bright, forehead arrangements are coming into fashion. You can have soft bangs with a single wave line, or the ends turned under. Or, you can form a forward moving wave line that dips ever so slightly. Theatre Talk By PAT USSHER Canadian Press Staff Writer New York --(CP) -- Beach," the season's first play, probes in honest Lut - somewhat muddled fashion the plight of air force men suffering ' from battle fatigue. Bessie Breuer, the author, has sought to show the difficulties these men face in readjusting themselves to civilian life. Skilled direction of Elia Kazan and the competent acting of a large cast are insufficient to pull-it to- gether. Kazan handles the actors, most of them raffish characters, superbly. Miss Breuer has a good deal to say about the problems of the combat' fliers, most of whom seek solace in alcohol. She man- ages to work out at least tempor- arily happy solutions for two of them. But for the remainder she has no solution. . Actors Studio Production The production is by the ActSis Studio, founded in 1947 as a dra- matic workshop. The setting for "Sundown Beach" is a Florida cafe outside an air force convalescent hospital. The play opened this week at The Belasco Theatre. Phyllis Thaxter, who once acted in repertory in Montreal, and War- ren Stevens have two of the major roles. He is a wacky pilot and she is convinced she can cure him by loving him. Don Hanmer gives a lively performance as the Lothario of the group and John Sylvester makes an interesting study of a major who muses on men's folly in taking to the air. Julie Harris is excellent as a doggedly courageous Tennessee. wife whose husband is embittered because he believes she has been unfaithful to him. Just Keeps Rolling "Show Boat," which first churned out of New York in 1927, docked here again Tuesday night and nos- talgia was not the only reason for the happy greeting it received. Pamela Caveness as Magnolia does most proudly of the cast by Jerome Kern's music, and the lyrics of Oscar Hammerstein II, which make the sentimental vehicle a theatrical classic. Footlight Footnotes Lilli Palmer, British actress and wife of Rex Harrison, is to play in Herman J. Mankiewicz's produc- tion of "The Man With a Load of Mischief," which is due in New York later this season. Previously Margaret Sullavan had been men- tioned for the part . . . Backtrack- ing a bit, the Theatre Guild now says it is not definite that "The ver Whistle" will be its first production this season. Instead it may be Dorothy Heyward's "Set My People Free" . . . Gertrude Lawrence is reported to have de- cided to appear in London in the new Daphne du Maurier play, "The Mother." Robert Flemyng will be her leading man. Happy Octogenarians Celebrate On Stage Ilford, Essex, England-- (CP)-- Celebrating their diamond wedding anniversary, 82-year-old William Coleman and his 80-year-old wife went on the stage of an Ilford theatre and sang: "Well Always be Sweethearts." ; Coleman, a former tailor, wore a black pin-striped suit he made 25 years ago and kept specially for the occasion.

"Sundown | 28 The Experts Say Ottawa -- (CP) -- School-days ain... 5 Probably most of the kids in the country right now are grouching over their lessons. They don't realize that mother has her "home- work" too. Daily preparation of school lunches is no picnic for the mother of one or more children. She must provide variety to stimulate young appetites, and at the same time choose dishes that have the highest nutritive value and stay within the limits of her food budget. In a pamphlet entitled "Mother, The School Lunch" the = national health and welfare department has introduced a few suggestions to ease the weary five-day grind. It notes that a good lunch has at least one food from the follow- ing groups: Milk--to drink, or a milk dish; Meat--fish, poultry eggs, cheese, dried peas and beans, peanut butter or nuts; Whole Wheat--or Canada Approved bread, || bran muffins or oatmeal products; Hollywood Highlights By JACK QUIGG (FOR BOB THOMAS) Hollywood -- (AP)--It's fashion- able in Hollywood these days to ad- mit you're a ham, but Humphrey Begart thinks even honesty can be carried too far. "For my dough, false modesty is just as distasteful as pride," he ob- served during a reflective moment in tis dressing room. "Truth is, it's a type of bragging, and I'm getting sick of it." He said nearly every actor he knows is running around confessing tow theatrical he is, and added: "Sure they're hams. Why shouldn't an actor be a ham? It's part and parcel of his business. But hammiest of all is the ham who admits it." Phone Solution A ship-to-shore phone call from the Cornel Wildes to Rita Hayworth, homeward bound on the Queen Eli- zabeth, solved a knotty transporta- tion problem for the couple, With time off for a tour of Europe, they were unable to book passage. Rita obligingly persuaded the captain to give the Wildes her suite on the re- turn voyage. For good luck, Walter Huston likes to play bit roles in his son John's films. He'll next portray 4 bank of- ficial who interviews Jennifer Jones for a job in "Rough Sketch," John's latest. Wild West Dept.

The food may be placed in a glass jar la- pelled with his name. At school it can be easily heated in a hot water bath. Suggested "hot dish" lunches: creamed beef, along with raw car- rot, brown bread, cookies and milk; vegetable scallop, along with cheese sandwiches, orange, cookies and milk potato scallop with sausage or bacon, and brown bread, apple and milk; baked beans, brown bread, orange and milk; cream of vegetable soup, meat sandwiches, cookies and tomato juice. As cookies are the most popular form of "sweets" in the lunch, Mother had better have some new recipes on hand. Try this one for butterscotch slices, recommended by the consumer section, Dominion department of agriculture. Ingredients: One-third cup chic- ken fat; one-half cup brown sugar: one egg; one-quarter teaspoon va- nilla; 1 1-2 cups pastry flour (or 1 1-3 all-purpose flour); 1 1-2 tea- spoons baking-powder; one-half teaspoon salt. Cream fat and sugar, then add vanilla and egg. Beat well. Mix in flour sifted with baking-powder and salt. Shape in roll about two inches in diameter and 'wrap in wax paper. Chill thoroughly. Cut in one-eighth inch slices. Place cookies on lightly-greased baking- sheet and bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for eight to 10 minutes. Makes nearly four dozen cookies.

ABC Place the individual butter knife across the edge of «the bread and Lutter plate, either parallel with the gilverpieces at the sides of the place plate, or parallel with the edge of the table, Either of these right an- gle positions is better than placing the knife diagonally on the bread and butter plate. The butter knife should rest on the edge of the plate. The tip of the knife should not be in the center part of the plate. (And, incidentally, it's better to re- fer to these small knives as "butter knives™ or "individual butter knives," rather than by the commercial name "butter spreaders.") SUITABLE TO HAVE SIMPLE Party Dear Mrs. Beeckman: My cousin, whose mother and fa- ther died when he was very young and who has lived with us ever since, is joining a religious order and is leaving home quite soon. Everyone in our family loves .him very much, and he has a host of devoted friends who live in our city and many who live in quite nearby places, My brother and I (who are near his age) thought it would be a wonderful idea if he and I gave a farewell party for him. But my mother, who is very conservative, is not sure a party would be fitting in this- circumstances. What do you think, Mrs. Beeckman? Iris F.

SHEET NYLON AIDS IN HEALING WOUNDS Birmingham, England-- (CP)-- Nylon, which gave the world new- type stockings and tooth brushes, may now revolutionize the dressing of wounds. Three young British doctors of an industrial medicine research unit at Birmingham Accidents Hospital have found that nylon in sheet form can be used as a trans parent dressing which need not be removed until the wound has heal- ed. Dr, J. R. Squire, leader of the Medical Research Council, said: "The new dressing keeps bac- teria, dirt and moisture out but allows perspiration to escape so that the skin, though covered, re- aains healthy and dry. "And as you can see through the dressing without taking it off, the risk of infection is reduced." | FOR YOUR Wedding o Invitations e Announcements ENGRAVED -- SUPERGRAVED PRINTED A complete selection of type faces and modern wedding stationery.
