THURSDAY, 'DECEMBER 9, 1948 ' & - THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE MAGE 'NINE . | BEauTY FOR YOU - Care of the Hair and Scalp By BELEN JAMESON 2 a EE er a TE ee TE It a dreadful moment for a woman when she realizes that her hair is thinning, the curls lacking lustre. Such a bad state of affairs can come to anyone because the vitality of the hair is dependent to - @ certain extent upon the general health of the human machine. It must have nutrition, so diet is im- portant. Brisk circulation in the ' scalp is necessary as every silky thread gets its groceries from the blood streams. : The thatch may become depleted after an illness, especially if there has been a high temperature. Worry and loss of sleep may have a de- pressing effect. When the nervous system is chronically jumpy and jittery .the hair may reflect a con- dition that is not normal. Excessive shedding frightens a woman, A man may observe his budding bald spot with resignation, but a woman can't bear to feel that . her hair is not what it has been. .8he gets active. She beats it in a hurry to the beauty shop, where she makes appointments for a course of scalp treatments. These treatments include the applications of tonic lotiols, the use of invigorating lamps, massage that loosens the scalp and quickens the blood stream. Sometimes a woman is unneces- sarily alarmed, since the hair has moulting periods. The life of a strar" varies from two to seven years so, of course, some are coming away all the time. Don't worry; they will be replaced. One way to keep the papillae (outer covering of the hair) active is to give the scalp a three-minute e every night. Fou can do that without disturbing your wave set or stringing out ringlets. Fluff the hair with your hands, #0 the strands are separated. Then, placing fingers and 'thumbs out- spread over your head, keep the fin- gers stationary and make circles with your thumbs, pressing deeply It is dreadful when a woman realizes that her hair is falling. * +P into the flesh. Work hard along the nape line and at the temples where the hair usually thins first. . Brushing is a wonderful stimu- lant. It not only releases dead shafts and removes surface dust, but it gives the growth lustre. The bristles, tugging at the roots, have a favorable effect upon the tiny veins of the papillae. Shampoos must be thorough, harsh soaps should be avoided. Casual shampooing is responsible for many dull, lifeless looking heads. American Teacher On Exchange Makes Friends of London Pupils London,--(AP)--As an American (the morning religious exercises in school teacher working for a year in England, Agnes Dunne has found -her toughest task is teaching the stiffly formal British youngsters to come around after class and chew the fat with teacher. "At first they were astonished when I spoke to them e of class, in the halls and outside," she said. She has been changing that. Now * they stay. after hours to ask ques- tions about Indians, cowboys, pent- houses, gangsters and other phen- 'omena of American life as portray- ed by Hollywood.* Miss Dunne, ninth grade English teacher at Washington Junior High #chooldin Manitowoc, Wisconsin, is 'one of 112 American.teachers now 4n. Britain under an exchange sys- tem. This system is arranged by the United States Office of Education, in co-operation with other organiza- 'tions, . Bhe is teaching for a year at the Laxson Street Secondary = Girls School in a working class section of southeast London. "Our youngsters are more infor- mal than English children in their classrooms," Miss Dunne said. Here there is more of a gulf between the teacher and the pupil. '. "A formality of manner is taken for granted. The children are hard- er to get to know than our-child- ren--but they are lovable when you do get to know them." Strong Curiosity Some of the questions her pupils are popping 'at her--now that they know she won't bite--show strong curiosity about.the United States. For instance: "Do. the cowboys chase Red Indians?" "what are penthouses like?" "what are bobby- soxers?" "do gangsters try to rob you?" Many ask her about Holly- wood and the make-up American girls use. Miss Dunne believes Americans have an "erroneous view" of condi- tions here, S8he has found Britons better nourished and better dressed than she had n led to expect. British school dren, she points out, have free milk and hot school lunches, usually with meat, for about 50 cents a week. 'Miss Dunne also found British schools' better equipped than she had expected. She brought over doz- ens of pencils, erasers, crayons and "Of course we're all pleased to see conditions so much better than we. hike, omg) ht they would be," she "The morale of the children is very good. They are lighthearted, happy and hopeful. I believe they were too young before the war to realize what conditions were then and they are satisfied with what théy have now." There are 37 girls in Miss Dunne's ¢lass, corresponding to a group in a United States junior high school. They range in age from 12 to 15. She says she "thinks highly" of the schools which are conducted from a non-denominational point of view. Do You Remember Your Wedding Plans? It is surprising how little hus- bands and wives remember about getting married. They don't, for instance, remem- ber how much a license costs, and frequently they can't remémber how they went about getting a cer- tificate. i Among the unusual facts of mar- riage told in a magazine article this month is that it is perfectly legal in. a number of states to get mar- ried by mail or by telephone. In the first method gll that is mecessgry ds an exchange of letters in which (a man and woman take each other as husband and wife. When they live in separate states, they are subject to the laws of the state in which the wife lives. ~~But the men get a break in a dif- ferent kind of wedding ceremony. Shotgun weddings are not as bind- ing as others. In other words, when 'a mgm consents to marriage under force, the law doesn't consider it binding and a court will grant an annulment on proof. EUROPEAN WOMEN WORKERS London--(CP)--Nearly 20,000 vol- unteer women workers have been brought to Britain from Europe, Labor Minister Isaacs told Parlia- ment recently. Of these, 12,900 have found employment in the textile industry. : "| bile pigments, Another test. is made Rheumatic Fever Is Insidious Children between the ages of five and fifteen are. the most likely victims cf rheumatic fever.

BUNDESEN. M.D. AID FOR LIVER DISORDERS With the increasing frequency of liver disorders, particularly in those of middle age and older, it is im- portant that abnormal conditions be discovered as early as possible, because, with proper treatment, the progress of many of these disorders may be checked, There are a num- ber of tests which can be made to determine the manner in which the liver is carrying on its many activi~ ties and which aid the doctor in de- termining what medical or surgical treatment may be required. Just which of the tests should be carried: out depends, to some extent, on the symptoms present, For example, if the patient has jaundice due to a collection of bile pigments in the blood and tissues, a large series of tests is suggested. Some of these include testing of the urine for the presence of certain on the blood to determine 'the amount/of bilirubin, a. bile pigment, in the blood serum. fis important to determine the amount of chol- esterol in the blood, since the chol- esterol may 'be excessive. in certain disorders producing jaundice. Chol- esterol .is a substance which is found throughout the body, and is normall@gpresent in the blood. Retained in Body Another test commonly used is known as the bfomsulfalein test. The bromsalfalein, a dye, is inject- ed into a vein and the amount re- tained in. the body determined at the end of 40 minutes. The brom- sulfalein test is not. used when jaundice is present, . If, by means of these various tests, the exact type of disorder of the liver cannot.be determined, it may be necessary to remove a small bit of tissue from the liver for examination under the micro- scope. This material can be obtain- ed by what is known as a needle biopsy, in which a large needle is pushed through the abdominal wall into the liver so that some of the liver tissue can be carried out. This procedure should be done only in a hospital and only when it is certain that the blood clots pro- perly, since there is always danger of bleeding in this type of proce- dure. If the tissue cannot be secured satisfactorily in this manner, it may be necessary to open the abdomen surgically to obtain the lifer tissue for examination, Persons having symptoms of liver disorder should consult their physi- cian promptly, so that the neces- sary . tests may be carried out to determine what disorder is present, In middle-aged and older persons such tests should be made once or twice a year, even if no symptoms are present. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS G. F.: What does vitamin E do in the body, and what are the sources of vitamin E? Answer: Just what Vitamin E does in the human body has not yet been demonstrafed. Vitamin E is found particularly in milk, in various vegetables, and in fats, such as butter and mar- garine.

GLAMORIZING - 'Pretty, By HELIN ~ Well-Groomed Nails FOLLETT An important step in the manicure is to work a little nail dress carefully around the cutiele. a Do you remember when there was a flurry about nail polish of green, purple and blue? Started in Paris, American girls gave the idea a laugh. Fancy what the male of the species would have had to say! Nail polish has gone so conserva- tive, keeping to lovely tones: slightly darker than the natural coloring that some women are returning to first principles, using a nail cream and a pearly-pink powder. - Friction with the buffer puts the nails in first-class condition because it stim- ulates the underlying blood streams tit provide coloring.

File from the sides to centre, then lop off the point. Don't cut into the flesh at the sides. If you do that little thing, the ci- ticle will become thick and coarse, hangnails may appear. Women with large, masculine hands, with nails that are square, should not let the polish cover the nail eave. The white eave will make the nails appear more attractive, Never cut the cuticle at the base of the nail. If it clings to the pink shell, soak the hands for several minutes in warm soap suds, rinse and dry, apply a cuticle cream. Then lift the flesh very gently by moving the orange wood stick in small circles. To press against the matrix is to take a chance of hav- ing a nail that is ridged or marred with white spots.
