Now and then shé takes a nibble of candy. You know the rest. She has an idea that the fat cells are out of business, But they need only a little feeding to swell up again, form bumps and bulges. It takes courage and will power to slenderize; it takes almost as much to stay that way. Mrs, Plumpie can indulge now : and then in her favorite viands if she will exercise sufficiently to burn up her calories. Trouble is, exercise 4s usually distasteful to heavy- weights; they have lost interest in activity, And the heavier they get, "3 the more they hate to exert them- "selves, They'll go about their regu- lar daily duties, but that does not mean that they will strengthen the musculature or keep fat cells at bay.

Let them shine, too. Admire their good qualities and forget the traits you like less. --Share your friendships with fellow students instead of saving your smiles for the popular class president or current football hero. The boy who sits beside you in your algebra class may not be a heart- stopper at first glance, but he's prcbably fun to know and he might be the one who will invite you to the junior prom. You'll miss a lot of fun and friendships if you try to choose your friends and dates by looks alone. --Are you friendly with every- body, not just one exclusive group of girls . . . your group isn't enough to elect you to a class office or a tlub committee. You also miss the fun of making new friends with varied interests if you are too "ex- clusive".

Veal Bangor With Rice, A Dish Yow'll Rave About Much can come of veal when it is surrounded with a luscious sauce is keeping company with rice. one fills the bill for a family dinner but it also has great merit as a buffet supper dish when company comes. The fact that most of the 1 tion can be done ahead of ime wins consideration from the "cook" who likes to get a meal on table without last minute flurry. new quirk of scattering toast- ed. chopped nuts on the top of the ring of rice, will make it a conver- sation piece for time to come. -Two pounds of veal steak, cut thin; one medium onion, chopped; one-half cup or a small' can of mushrooms; two cups tomato juice; four tablespoons margarine, butter or shortening; flour for dredging meat; salt and pepper to taste; three to four cups hot cooked rice; one-half cup coarsely chopped nut meats, Cut veal steak into serving pieces. Dredge well 'with flour that has been seasoned with sglt and pepper. {Melt fat in a large skillet. Add nion and saute until the onion has 'become yellow. Take onion out and set. aside to be re-added later. Have fat in the skillet medium hot. Add floured veal. Always brown veal slowly. Turn meat so the pieces will brown on all sides. Don't hurry it too much. If more fat is needed for the browning, it can be added but sometimes the veal will have enough fat attached to ' provide that extra bit. The sauce shouldn't be too greasy when finished. When all the meat is browned, add tomato juice and the onions that were taken from the skillet. Cover and simmer slowly until the veal is tender. This takes about an hour. Add canned -or sauteed mushrooms the last ten or fifteen minutes of cooking time. It may be necéssary to add more liquid it can be tomato juice, water or the juice from the canned mush- rooms, if they are used. When done the sauce around 'the veal should be of the consistency of thick gravy. To Prepare White Fluffy Rice Put one cup rice, one teaspoon salt and two cups of cold water in a two-quart saucepan with a tight- fitting cover. Set over a hot flame until the water bolls vigorously. Then reduce heat as low as pos- sible and simmer for 14 minutes more. During this time the rice will absorb all the water, making it zs tender as young love. Never use a spoon on rice, but always fork it up to keep it fluffy. . To Serve: Place the veal with the gravy on a hot platter and sur- round with the hot fluffy rice. Heat the nut meats slightly in melted butter or margarine and sca them over the rice. Garnish with parsley. Use as many nuts as you like-- the more the better, up to a cer- tain point, and if, mushrooms are not desired, supplement with coarsely ch celery, sauteed along with the onions, removed, and put back in the sauce with the onions, : A Physician Advises You By HERMAN A, BUNDESEN, M.D. CARE OF SPASTIC CHILDREN NOWADAYS more and more at- tention ig being given by the medi- cal profession to the problems of spastic children, those unfortunate youngsters, who, because of birta injuries or faulty development of the brain, come into the world ser- fously handicapped. Some of these little patients have what is known as spastic palsy; and certain muscles are in a state of almost constant movement. Gth- ers have a rigid paralysis of cer- tain muscles. These children often develop deformities because the constant pull of tense contracted muscles is so great that it cannot be counteracted by normal muscle groups. Furthermore, the tendons which attach these abnormal mus- cles to the bone do not grow as ra- pidly as the bones. Careful Study If these children are to be helped, a careful study must be made to determine the muscles which are spastic; weak and relaxed, or nor- mal. Braces are often heWpful, It must be kept in mind, however, that such braces are used chiefly to. control the muscles that are overly-strong and not to support the weak mus- cles. Thus, braces must be especially constructed and fitted with extreme care, The feet should be bathed daily and perfect-fitting socks should be worn. If there is & back brace, it is bet- ter to have no underclothing be- tween the brace and the skin of the child. The brace should be checked often to make sure that it is proper- ly fitted. If the brace is properly fitted, it may eventually be worn day and night. Type of Operation Operations sometimes accomplish a great deal for these children. The type of operation which may be of value, however, can only be decided by an orthopedic specialist, after he has made a careful study of the condition. It is often wise to con- tinue the use of braces after an op- eration, to prevent the recurrence of deformities. . The drug, known as prdstigmine may be helpful to some of these children, since it relaxes muscle spasm. Difficulty Eating Many children with spastic para- lysis have difficulty in eating and so, suffer from vitamin and other deficiencies. Their diet must be well balanced so as to include all of the necessary food parts, Since some of these children expend more energy than normal children, their food intake must be greater. It is sug- gested that they be given Vitamin B-complex, since this compound not only stimulates the appetite but also relieves constipation. Vitamin B6, or pyrqdoxine given with Vita- min E, has been used for flabbiness and muscle weakness. Attention to these matters may be of great help to the child with spastic, paralysis. However, one of the most impor- tant factors in the management of spactic children is to give them the opportunity to play with other children. Frequently, the bes: way to accomplish this is to have them play with each other in summer camps and in certain hospitals and clinics that are engaged in this particular rhase of child care. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS J.B.: What can be done for per- spiring feet? Answer: Excessive perspiration of the feet sometimes is due to wearing the wrong kind of stock- ings.and shoes. The use of a 25 per cent solution of aluminum chloride, dabbed on the feet every two or three days will remedy the condition. For Saturday Dates Romantic! Your Little Women dress!

GLAMORIZING A Beauty Treatment For Lips By HELKN FOLLETT When you apply lipstick, be sure to make a clear-cut outline; : blot with tissue. * DO you know that in many beauty shops special treatments are being given to prolong the youth and beauty of the mouth? Specialists say that war years and the crazy state of the world have brought on facial tension among many of their clients and the tension is directly center- ed in the fine fibers that encircle the lips. Unless there is relaxation, the feminine portrait may look brit- tle or austere. And that will not bring any beauty rewards. - Facial loveliness. depends to a large extent upon soft, perfectly- molded lips. The treatment to which we refer is very light, very sure, done with a certain' rapidity. The muscles around the mouth are fine and delicate, will only become strong and firm with a light, rapid touch, A fine tissue cream or mus. cle oil is used by the operator, 'With the first finger, the operator does a rotating movement under the lower lip, above the upper one. Then the ends of the upper lip are lifted, * * brought toward the center, so they form a Cupid's bow. Next a circular movement is used to iron out little lines that may have appeared be- cause of weak fibers or the habit of keeping the lips tightly compressed. You can do these movements your- self in odd moments. Or, include them during your beautifying half hour at bedtime. The treatment finishes with a compless of ice cold water to hustle up circulation. It should not be pressed on the mouth, but should rest lightly on both lips. Wipe away the cream, get busy with the lip- stick. Let us hope that you are not one of those hurry-up make-up girls. It is impossible to apply the rosy glow without a steady hand, a strong mir- ror and a keen eye. Place the crimson pencil in the center of the lip, sweep outward, be- ing careful to form a clear-cut line, Then fill in, A lipstick brush makes for more perfect grooming. C.G.I.LT.

Meat Loaf Recipes It's hard to imagine what home- makers would have done if the meat loaf had never been invent- ed! Here is a good combination and a topping that makes a piqu- ant delicious meat loaf. The secret of this supper dish is that it uses one and one-half cups of cooked rice. If you don't already have some rice prepared and wait- ing in your refrigerator, here's a method that will save you time and give perfect results, Fluffy White Rice Put one cup rice, one teaspoon | salt and two cups of cold water | in a two-quart saucepan and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Set over | a hot flame until it boils vigorous- | ly. Then reduce the heat as low as possible and simmer for 14 min- utes more, during which time the water will be absorbed, making the rice deliciously tender. Remove the lid, permit the rice to steam dry to the desired consistency and the grains will ,be separate and fluffy. Never stir rice, but lift rice gently with a fork when testing its con- sistency. Piquant Meat Loaf One pound ground smoked ham; one pound ground veal, two well- beaten eggs; one and one-half cups cooked rice; one and one-half cups milk; one-eighth teaspoon pepper; one teaspoon salt if the ham isn't too salty. Top Dressing: One-third cup brown sugar; one-fourth cup vine- gar; one tablespoon dry mustard. Mix all the ingredients for the loaf together, heating the eggs into the milk. It makes rather a soft mixture. Pour into a well-greased loaf pan and pat down so the top is even. Combine brown sugar, mustard and vinegar. Pour over the top of the loaf and bake one hour at 350 degrees. * Simcoe Hall id . Ld Activities MONDAY Nursery School Simcoe Hall Public Library Girls' Club, 6, 7, 8 years, Boys' Club, 6, 8 yrs.

Today he starts the lead in "Bad Boy." 2. Last Saturday he sent his life story, "To Hell and Back," off to the Publisher. v 3. This week Wanda Hendrix wrote from Rome (where she's making a movie with Tyrone Power) that shell be home by Christmas to marry Audie. Luck hasn't always been with the Farmersville, Tex., lad. Broke, job- less and homeless a few months |d ago, he was about to turn his back on Hollywood. After returning from the war, the hero was spotted on a magazine cover by James and William Cag- ney, who offered him an acting contract, Audie came to Hollywood amid a flury of Cagney publicity. Then nothing happened. "For a year and a half, I did nothing but take lessons," he re- calls. "They turned down some offers for roles. Finally people thought 'if he hasn't been in a picture by now, there must be a reason." ' The Cagneys dropped Audie. He did a couple of bit parts that netted him publicity but little footage or cash. His lean days set in, With no income (he sent his pension home to support his or- phaned brothers and sisters), he slept in a bed at Terry Hunt's body-building salon. "I had a shower for breakfast and a steam bath for dinner," he laughs. Meanwhile he was having roman- tic troubles. He had admired starlet Wanda Hendrix on a maga-. zine cover and arranged to--Teet her at a party. Their soda-sipping courtship became one of the nicer things in town. But her family in- terfered and she began having other dates. Then the picture brightened. Book agent Stanley Rose landed a $1,500 advance for Audie's book. Wanda decided Audie was the love of her life, and producer Paul Short signed him for a series of pictures. Does he resent the wasted time? "No, it taught me you have te wait in this business."

CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs, Beeckman: Myhusband and I came to live in this medium-size town two years ago, and we've made many delight- ful friends, I've given several luncheons and teas, but. . because I do not-play bridge, and don't care enough about it to learn to play . . . I've never given a bridge party, or followed luncheon by a bridge, or preceded tea by bridge. But. if has just occurred to me that since all the women I know here seem to prefer to play bridge, perhaps I could give a luncheon-bmidge or some kind of daytime party that in- cludes bridge-play:ng, But would it be proper for a non-briige-playing hostess to give a bridge party for oer bridge-playing friends? I won- er DER. Yes, this is entirely $roper. .

You'll have a chance. to chat with your guests either at luncheon or tea! An Informal Toast is Drunk Together Dear Mrs. Beeckman: I know that on an occasion of any formality, the one to whom a toast is proposed does not drink the toast.
