Care of the skin is important, not only from a standpoint of cleanliness, but because of its many functions in relation to good health, the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society observes in a health talk. In an adult, the skin normally weighs about six pounds. It varies in texture in individuals and | in different parts of the body. |The palms of th^handa And the soles of the fe?t, as well as the Farea across the shoulders, for example, vary in thickness from that on the face. • |f A protective organ, the skin ^serves as a covering for thfe underlying tissues. It also acts as • a barrier, when unbroken, a- Against bacteria. As an organ of Recretion, the skin also removes * poisonous wastes from the blood through perspiration. While perspiration helps to eliminate water ..from the body, it also serves to regulate the body temperature > tnd keeps the tough outer layer - 9f the skin, called the epidermis, soft and pliable. One-third of all of the blood that circulates in the body is received by the skin for nourishment. When the flow of the blood to the skin is impeded for some medical reason, the skin hardens, thickens and loses its normal appearance. Heredity is a factor in the color of the skin. Some persons have more pigment or coloring matter. The color of the skin in some persons is affected toy inadequate circulation of the blood. The skin is fed and nurtured by the blood circulating within the body. It cannot be nourished from the exterior with creams, astringents or emollients. However, these play an important role as cleansing agents, keeping the skin surface smooth and moist and helping to protect it Against outside elements, such -fcs exposure to sun and wind. ,H Massage is important in the tare of the skin, for it stimulates the circulation of the blood, which is the 9ource of true nourishment. Except in those persons who have an excessively dry skin, because of Improperly functioning glands, or those who +.ave some type of dermititis, or . skin disorder, washing the face thoroughly with soap and water is essential to real cleanliness. Creams, powders and other cosmetics have a tendency to clog the pores, thus obstructing the release of sweat. For this reason, their application should be preceded with a thorough washing of the face. However, cosmetics have a place in care of the skin for, if used properly, they enhance the wearer. If not, they give the wearer a grotesque and ludicrous appearance. Some persons have sensitive skins. An allergy may not be a factor but the skin is susceptible to easy chapping or chafing. These people usually have dry skins and can be helped by the application of creams and oils for surface protection. The half and nails aire.appendages of the skin. They are really not living structures, but insensitive horny materials that take their root from underlying living tissue. They too get their nourishment from the blood. Many disorders affecting the genen-al health are reflected in changes of the skin, hair and nails. However, when no disease condition exists, everyday cleansing and attention to the details of good grooming will give you that "clean look" desired by everyone. MILK GIVES YOU BEST PROTEINS AT CHEAPEST COST You'll find that mil1: ""oducts give you the greatest bargain in food protein. K. E. Gardner, dairy production specialist at the University Qt Illinois, says milk proteins are the highest quality proteins you can buy. And they are essential for development and maintenance of muscles and many body tissues. A pound of protein costs about $1.50 if you're buying cottage cheese, $2,25 in cheese or evaporated milk and $2.75 in whole milk. In other animal foods the cqst of protein per pound is over $3.00. Cost actually approaches $6.00 a pound in many of the meats. For example, bread, a plant product containing a much poorer quality of protein, is a more expensive so&rce of protein than are cottage cheese and dried skim milk. Gardner points out that milk hasn't advanced so much in price as the average or all other foods on the market. In fact, when 1941 is used as a base period, milk stands at only 79 per cent in its relative cost to other foods. «CES®^S OH GAS DRYER now only '219s0* ELECTRIC DRYER now only $19950 • Whirlpool Dryer's new low prices mean you add extra dollar savings (mm the start to the many other vital economies anly this wonder-working dryer provides. r v Ask us about a Free Trial in Your Home AH these mtnatched features are yours at this new low price POrCI-FLO VINTIM©--Sure protection against lint and moisture.

In this modern age, good food comes out __ the picnic basket fresh and wholesome even in warm, sultry weather^ It is how you handle it that counts. i*j° Preserve *he goodness of picnic fare, give those foods to be served! cold--cold treatment. Life begins at 50 degrees for bacteria, especially1 those trouble makers responsible for undesirable spoilage. Perishables, such as salads and salad-type sandwich fillings should be chilled before being packed for travel. Here is an idea--don't let bacteria come to the picnic--prepare most of the food at the picnic site. Food can become contaminated in unsuspected ways in even the spotless kitchen. It's more fun to do the final mixing of salads or spreading of sandwiches under open skies. Fortunately, bread is a good hot weather traveler and needs no chilling. To keep the picnic basket cool, select one of the new insulated types and tuck in a refrigerant. A bucket of ice cubes or the handy new gels, encased in plastic tubes, which can be frozen at home, do satisfactory jobs of keeping perishables cool en route. Bacteria bypass acid food but ride along with moist mixtures of poultry, meat, fish or eggs. Addition of several tablespoons bf vinegar" or lemon juice to mixtures of protein foods help to stave off bacterial action. Among acid foods which carry well aVe fruit pies. Cream pies, however, must be refrigerated if taken along. Good picnic fare also includes breads of all kinds, cake and cookies, all easily bought at your local bakery. Because these baked products are comparatively low in moisture, they do not need refrigeration. When sandwiches must be completed in advance, choose fillings that carry well--processed cheese, peanut butter, jelly or summer sausage. For that right ending of the-out-of-door meal, have it well-balanced. •Provide a food with staying power--as cheese, meat or fish. The menu needs fresh fruits and vegetables to eat with plenty of buns or flavorful sandwiches made with enriched or whole grain bread. TREE PLANTING Illinois landowners will probably plant about seven million trees and multiflora rose shrubs this spring for timber crops, soil tonservation, and wildlife shei ter, according to E. E. Nuuttila, state forester. Planting is already going on in southern Illinois. Orders for trees will be accepted by the state forester's office at Sjningfield until April 30.

(ADVEltHSKMENTJI SIZING FABRICS GOOD SUMMER IDEA "Sizing-" is an excellent way to make garments look better -- especially during the summer months. Sizing can repel stains, retard wrinkling, and delay soiling. You can look fresher longer . . in sized clothes. Many fabrics are truly enhanced in appearance and wear when sized. (The use of starch in shirts is a good example. Sizing is "evil" only when used to make a poor fabric look like a good one.) There are five types of sizing, each one of which does a particular and specific job: 1. Gelatin » 2. Gum arable 3. Gum tragacanth 4. Fl&x seed - : 6. Synthetic resins : ; We determine what's needed before cleaning, then apply it in the amount required prior to finishing. That way you can be sure that your garment will have the right body and weight to look better longer. Try it today.
