THE DAILY TI MES-GAZETTE PAGE FIVE WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1948 "BEAUTY FOR YOU -- Noise Brings Jitters, Wrinkles By R'SLEN JAMESON "Crowds and noise, two devastat- #% ing elements that take g toll of ner- » vous stability and good looks! There is nothing like a calm and peaceful life to keep old men "Time at bay. Many women have found that out. They have decamped from the big city, taken their families to some ' quiet suburb, They wonder daily A NOE A a phragm "the increase as designers how they endured the metropolitan existence. The noise and confusion of traffic are terrible to think about. Worrying about the chil- going back and forth to school! In their rural haven they 80 fo market each day, know all the trades people, meet their neighbors, feel that they are a part of the community, instead of units among niillions. Doctors thave a lot to say about the deplorable effect of noise, noise of the city, noises in the home. Hark ye, who have your radios go- ing full blast all day, loud enough 10 wake the dead. Noise breaks down the forces of the central nervous system. Jumpy nerves play the ens. with the human phiz. They put wrinkles in the facial uphol- stéery and sags develop. Better stay cf#lm if you would stay young. "There's a close bond between the nervous system and the digestive niotors: When you feel jumpy, appe- tite departs. "There are individuals who can sleep no matter how much noise there is in the house. Physicians say that sleep under such circum- stances is not as refreshing or as -estful as it is under more favor- "able conditions. "Noise in the house tires a wom- an. Don't we know? A crowd of re- latives blows in. All talk at once, often in shrill or loud voices. The air is filled with confusion. When thay blow out, what a relief. You sink into a chair, all done in.

The sensitive nerve terminals in the ears communicate their distress to other nerve centres. Sudden noises increase the heart beats, make you jump. Women who make gerry in night clubs oftener than they should, breathing smoke-filled air, listen- ing to squealing saxaphones, will find themselves in need of beauty treatments. When they tire of the gay life and settle down, they will shed birthdays, look years younger. Fashion Flashes AT-HOME comfort is well taken care of this season so far as lounging clothes are concerned. Bodice and tapering slacks of black wool jersey, topped by a flar- ing, beltad tunic coat of scarlet quilted corduroy adds up to a pretty fireside picture. * +» IT'S NICE to see velvet around again.

BUNDESEN, M.D. RICE DIET RECENTLY I have received many letters from people whe want to know just what can. be expected from the rice diet in cases of high blood pressure, ° : Like every other treatment for high blood pressure, this one has both advantages and disadvantages. Its chief value seems to lie in the fact that it is low in salt, and re- cent studies show that a low intake of salt may be quite helpful in many cases of high blood pressure, No Definite Reason Of course, it goes without saying that if the cause of high blood pres- sure can be determined, treatment should be directed toward the con- dition whict: is keeping the pressure up. But, in many instances, no defi- nite reason for it can be found. It is in these cases that the low salt diet should be tried. In no instance, however, should such dieting be attempted without the direction of a physician, be- cause lowering the salt content of the body may produce such symp. toms as weakness, sickness at the stomach: and muscle cramps, before a fall ih the blood pressure occurs. Kidney Disease In patients with severe kidney di- sease and hardened arteries, the low salt diet may be a4 factor in bringing on uremia, a condition in which waste products are retained in the body. It has also been found that the low salt diet must be fol- lowed for a period of weeks before its effect on the blood pressure can be determined. Witla this in mind, you can see how necessary it is for the amount of urea in the blood to be checked at regular intervals, Only a physician can do this. To increase the loss of salt from the body, certain preparations con- taining mercury may be given by injection. When the mercurials are used, the patient may be given a more liberal diet. The mercurial preparations are given by injection about twice a week, High Blood Pressure In most cases, the patient with igh blood pressure and a normal amount of urea in the blood may use the low salt diet together with the mercury for a period of three weeks at least, or until the desired effect of lowering the blood pressure occurs. If a drop in the blood pres- sure does not result in this period of time, it is not likely that a low salt diet will have any value for the patient, If the blood pressure does drop, the physician will keep the salt content of the body low. If there is sufficient damage to the kidneys to make it necessary to cut down the eating of proteins, such as come from meat, milk and eggs, rice may be used as the main source of calories and protein. Such patients may take a quart to a quart and a half of fluids a day. Other methods of treatment for {righ blood pressure, such as the cut- ting of certain nerves, have been suggested, Bub thase are drastic and, before any surgery is carried out, it would seem the better part of wisdom to try the low salt diet. QUESTION AND ANSWERS L. V.:' Is there a curé for pseudo- hypertrophic muscular dystrophy? Answer: No cure has as yet been found for this disorder, nor has i's cause been determined. European Women Still Wear the 'Old Look' Autumn fashions in Europe show many millions of women still cling- ing (by necessity) to the "old look" --the careworn, threadbare look, the ill-fitting hand-me-down look, the patched, pinched, and shivering look. What has happened, we wonder, to all those clothes American women have discarded in favor of the "new look?" What about the costumes even a revised hemline could not, adapt to the imperious demands of fickle fashion? How large a proportion of the discard- ed wardrobes have found their way to the less finicking women of Europe, as the apologists for the new styles assured us they would? Plenty, we hope. FRANKLY SPEAKING San Francisco, Oct. 16--(AP) -- Miss Frances Mackey becomes Mrs. Francis Mackey at the Little Chapel of Lakeside here Saturday, and if you think that's funny--well, so did she. That's what started the ro- mance, Mrs. John G. Mackey of The Dal- les, Ore., happened to see the name of army flier Francis Mackey in a service paper during the war. He was stationed in North Africa. Amused, Mrs. Mackey sent the clip. ping to her daughter Frances Mac- key, a navy nurse in Hawalil. Frances' was amused too, Francis and Frances began writing letters to each other, After the war, they got a look at each other and eventually went shopping together--for a ring. GLAMORIZING Choosing a Complexion Cream By HELKN ing a good FOLLETT cream, use it conscientiously; follow with an astringent. LJ * With hundreds of creamy cos. metics on the beauty counters there is confusion as to making a choice. The quality of the creams do not vary in their effectiveness half as much as the manner of their appli- cation. Also, it is not fair to con- demn a cream unless it is fully test- ed with your own co-operation. To spread it over the flesh will soften the surface, but to keep the com- plexion young and of good coloring you must use a little friction, 'The woman who has a single pro- duct, uses it faithfully every night of her life, will get more satisfying results than the extravagant money flinger who has half a dozen, uses them casually, works on the stop- and-go system. She is the one who tumbles into bed without even washing her face, a habit that is ruinous to the fairest complexion. Cleanliness is the first need, always. A good soapy scrubbing is in itself an invigorating treatment. Using a cream is just putting the frosting on the beauty cake, * Skins vary, of course. One may respond more quickly to a heavy emollient, Another may be bene. fited by a quickly absorbent, light cosmetic, That is something, natur- ally, that calls for a little experi- menting. Once one has found a cream that soothes the skin, keeps the texture fine, one should stick to it, use no other. Lubricants are a necessity to all skins except those that are exces- sively oily or inclined to show pus- tules. A good plan is to use a cold cream for removing make up, wash- ing the face freely with plenty of warm soap suds, rinsing with warm water, drying with a soft towel, lightly tapping in"a heavier cream to, remain on overnight. Don't fancy that letting the cos- metic stay on will cause a growth of superfluous hair, Nothing to that idea at all. Electrolysis operators, taking surveys, state that the worst cases of facial fuzzers are the afflic. tion of women who never used cos- metics in any form. Mary Bothwell, Toronto Soprano Holds International Reputation By PAT USSHER Canadian Press Staff Writer New York--(CP)--One lucky star wasn't enough for golden-haired Mary Bothwell. She must have been born under two. "I've always wanted to be a sing- er," she says, "and I do like travel- ling, especially now that I can fly everywhere." That's doubly fortunate. The To- ronto soprano has gained an inter- national reputation in concert and opera singing; and just back. from a summer in Britain, she has three more trans-Atlantic crossings dur- ing the next four months to fulfill engagements in Europe and the United States. "I've been singing since I was a baby," Miss Bothwell said as she took time out from practising for an interview in the tastefully-fur- nished apartment on Central Park Vest where she now lives. Unaffected and friendly, she told something of her carecr. She stud- fed as a girl at the Toronto Con- servatory of Music and Toronto Academy, Then, while a student in Salzburg, Germany, in 1937, she got her first big break. Dr. Emil Sauer, a distinguished organist, heard her sing. He was so impressed that he arranged for her to sing works by Schubert, Brahms and Strauss next day at the Salsburg Festival, She came to New York in 1938, gave a debut recital at Town Hall, and since then. has made a series of concert tours in Canada and the United States. But she has not sung in her native city, Toronto, since she was a child, she said. throwing programs in the air. It oclaimed in London . 'Miss Bothwell recalled with en- thusiasm the wa reception she was given at her first London con- cert, in the Albert Hall in 1047, Sir Adrian Boult, conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra had heard her sing in The Netherlands and en, gaged her for his London promen- ade concerts that summer. At the first one she took tiie place of Mar. jorle Lawrence.

"But after my first number, they went wild with applause, shouting and was bedlam." She sang again at the proms in London this summer, Last night she gave a concert in New York Town Hall and is flying back to London for opera appearances in Covent Garden. Then she will re- turn for a United States tour and this will be followed by more Euro pean concerts. Early in her career Miss Bothwell learned the principal German operatic roles, while going ahead with her concert work. "When I am planning to do a concert I choose the numbers I want to sing, learn them and then put them aside for a time Shortly before the concert 1 study them again. For me, that is the most satisfactory way to work." She says she finds her profession a full-time job at whicla "you have Hollywood Hizhlights By BOB THOMAS Hollywood--(AP)--Joel McCrea is surprised there isn't more sin in Hollywood than there is. This observation came forth dur- ing our discussion of the oft-heard comments about Hollywood: that it is a hotbed of sin and' seduction; that it is a haven of just plain folks. 4 "Hollywood is neither," Joel com- mented on the "Colorado Territory" set. "The town is settled with two widely separated groups," He named them thusly: 1. The people who lead moral lives and draw credit to the com- munity. | 2. The cain-raisers, 2%. Joel added another class, the people who claim to be 1. but are actually 2. 'The question is--which class is in the majority? "I think the 1's are," said Joel. "You hear a lot about the 2's be- cause when they step out of line, it makes all the papers. The lives of the nicer folks aren't newsy. "Actually, it's a wonder there isn't more sin in Hollywood than there is. The business is conducive to it. Everybody is trying to get somewhere, The type of work is unique. If you're playing a heel, you might begin to feel like a heel. Heaven knows what you might do. | Joel, who has lived around Hol- lywood all of his 42 years, said he thought the town has far fewer adult delinquents than in the old days. A big reason: sound pictures. "In the silents, a guy could show up on the set swacked and still get by. The director could yell at him from off-stage to tell him what to do But now you have to know your lines and you have to think out your character." He told of how he and Gary Cooper were discussing a film star noted for his tippling. "I don't know how he does it," said Coop. "I have to go in training for a picture. It's too hard work." Clean Up Garden Now, For Spring Now is the time of year to clean up the garden, for it is the time when many insects are looking around for suitable spots in which to spend the winter. Many of the most injurious spe- cies of insects pass the winter were feeding when cold weather arrived, others crawl beneath piles of plant refuse and hibernate there throughout the winter. A few work their way down into the layer of dead organic matter. All such in- sects should be looked upon as a menace to next year's garden, for a large proportion will survive the winter and attack the growing plants in the spring. A general fall clean-up will mean a better garden next year. standing crop remnants should be pulled-and burned. Crop refuse on the ground should be raked up and destroyed. It is advisable where practicable to burn over waste land surrounding the garden to kill any eggs 'of hibernating insects. Insect egg masses or cocoons are often found in shrubs and low trees, or even on fences, garden furniture, out-buildings, or houses. Cleaning these up in the autumn will prevent them causing trouble next spring. Digging or plowing the garden in the fall will expose many of the in- sects in\the soil, which will be killed by the severe cold in the winter. to keep working." But she does make time for a few hobbies, in- cluding painting and the collection of wild flowers. She proudly dis- plays a collection which includes geiweiss and gentian from Switzer- and. 2 to 1 Voted for HEINZ CL ------------ | HEINZ snYoung foople tops ballot Club yASTE TEST the favora a record of istered different qualities reg 2 to 1 for Heinz: Flavour «cece **** Seasoning ceensenes Consistency «**** Many of those participatin pliments 85° ever tasted more like home men wrote: 5 N ble comments, by those wh Women Appearance... 98% ppe 100% 72% + 68% " added such som «Better than an _ "Much superiot * made."

By MRS, CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs. Beeckman: Just what can a girl say when a man asks her for a date for a certain evening and she already has a date for that evening? That is, what can she say to syggest to him that, although she has an engagement for that evening, she'd like to have a future date with him? Marion The girl can "encourage" the man to ask for a future date if she says a genuine "I'm so sorry, Bob, but I have a date for Saturday evening. But another time, I'd love to go." This graciously leaves the sugges- tion of another specific time up to the man, and the chances are, since he's asked her for one date, he'll want to ask her for another. And pronto, so he won't lose out the next time! Telegram Or Flowers To The Debutante Dear Mrs. Beeckman: I am invited to the coming-out party of the daughter of very dear friends of mine, but IT will not be able to attend because I am to be out of town on business on that date. Should I send her a telegram of congratulations and good wishes/ AK. Yes. Or better, if your budget will permit, arrange with your florist to send her a bouquet, leaving your card (or a plain white card with your name written on it, and per- haps also a message of felicitations and good wishes) to be enclosed with the flowers. Congratulatory flowers, you know, are used as the decorative background for the de- butante and her mother as they receive the guests. "Jr." Is Part Of Name . . . "Dr." Is Title Dear Mrs. Beeckman: My fiance is studying to be a doc- tor, and after his graduation will of course receive his degree and title of "Doctor." His name now is (for example) Thomas Perry Graliam, Jr. He was named for his father, who is a lawyer. Would he, or could he, after he becomes "Dr. Thomas Perry Graham" drop the "Jr." from his name, since his father is "Mr." not "Dr.?" PB. No, the suffix "Jr." is a part of his name, and he should use this as part of his name as long as his father is living, "Dr." is a title, not part of the name. When he has re- ceived his degree, he is "Dr. Thomas Perry Graham, Jr." or "Thomas Perry Graham, Jr, M.D." Appropriate Note-Paper DearMrs. Beeckman: Recently, as a birthday present, I was given a generous supply of small. double-sheeted note-paper ("semi-note paper," I believe it's called) with my initials engraved in the centre of the first page. Would this be appropriate for my thank-you notes, for shower gifts and later for wedding gifts? Betty Yes. Clergyman's Congratulations First Dear Mrs. Beeckman: At a house wedding I went to the other day, I noticed that the min- ister who performed the ceremony congratulated the bride and groom immediately after the ceremony, and then the kissed the bride. I had thought that the groom kisses the bride directly after the ceremony, and that then the clergy- man offered . his congratulations. Which is the usual procedure? WP. The clergyman usually congra- tulates the bride and groom directly after the ceremony. Then the groom ' kisses the bride. : +. + HAVE YOU THIS HABIT? I hope you're not the kind of per- son who is willing to acknowledge something pleasant about a person, then takes the glow from this by adding a "but"--comment. "Yes, she has a nice personality . . .but I don't always trust her," or "He has a good disposition . . . but I wish he would dress better." Watch your words, to see if you have this unattractive "but"--tendency. (Mrs. Beeckman will be glad to answer questions submitted by readers.)
