Either way they are just as. hateful. - The woman who takes care of complexion until You see women like , lift their eye- squint, habits that put pleats in the facial upholstery. . A cheerful nature keeps the lip- ends lifted, facial muscles strong _ and'resilient.

Place the fingers of both hands on the chin snd sweep outward to the ear lobes. Do the same stroke just be- low the chin; then you won't be likely to develop an extra one. Do circles between 'the eyes and circles around them. As the eye tissues are delicate, use a light touch. Use fingertips like little ham- mers, going over forehead and cheeks and along the jaw line. Quick slapping and patting will have a vitalizing effect. In 'the morning use cold water freely. Then on with the war paint.

RUNDESEN, M.D. CHILDHOOD ILLS Reports frcm many parts of the country indicate that 'whooping cough is again.becoming more wide- spread. Whooping cough, known to the 'doctor as pertussis, is actually the most serious of: the "catching" diseases of children. If it is not fatal, it may still be the start of an active tuberculous infection; it may be the forerunner of asthma, or it may have a damaging effect on the child's nerves and glandular system, Whooping cough tends to occur in epidemics. It is most severe in the colder climates, and is produced by the germ known as Bordet-Gengou. The disease is spread by droplets thrown into the air by coughing and sneezing, and is most, catching. dur. ing its early stages. Usually one at- tack produces immunity against any attacks of the disease. : -Symptoms Appéar 12 days after. the child has been *'I'expbsed to the disorder.

But how about the time when the best feller calls up, says: he wants to take you places and he'll be around in no time to pick you up? That happens. Do you get into a flurry? Here's what to do: It it has been a busy day and you're tired, have a hot bath and a cold shower, followed by a tonic friction, Before getting into the tub, remove make-up with cream, wash your face, apply cream again.

With hair modes what they are-- simple and chic--you'll have little trouble raking through the silky threads, putting them in order, every little fuzzer where it belongs and where it will do the most good. No matter how hurried you are, don't fail to wear a little perfume. There's something about a sweet scent that makes one feel rich and elegant.

The at- tack soon becomes quite severe and, at the end of the coughing spell; the child sharply draws in the breath which causes. the whooping sound. "The: complications of whooping cough are what make the disease so dangerous. e coughing may be. so severe that bleeding occurs from the nose: and «mouth. Now and then a hémorrhage into the brain has been noted. The most serioys complica- ticn, however, is pneumonia, and the pneumonia, in turn, is most serious in babies and children under five years of age. Sometimes the coughing attacks cause 'the'little air sacs in the Jungs to dilate or stretch. This is called emphysema. , Make Attacks Milder There is a vaccine which will pre- vent whooping cough or at least make the attacks much milder. Many physicians, such as -Dr. Louis Sauer of Illinois, suggest that this vaccine be given as soon as possiblé 'after the baby is three months old, and surely by the time the baby is six months old. The child with whooping cough should, of course, be separated from well children. However, he should not be kept in a closed room, since fresh air is desirable. QUESTIONS and ANSWERS D.
