FUSSY CLOTHES SUIT SLIM

A "slim jim" teen ager should stop envying the winsome lines of curvier girls and start choosing clothes that will round out her angular figure. She'll find a phen- tiful choice of attire.

Best choices for a “slim Jim‘ are clothes that nip in to accent her tiny waistline and puff out abet: and below it at bosom and mp3. She can wear full ballerina-stylczl skirts or skirts Wll-h pleats or gores that swing out from a no- hugging waistband.

A sketchy bosom gains canes from bodices strategically shlrred or darted to release fabric fullness over the bustline. High necklincs that sport chin-chucking frill ruffs or stand-up collars are dainty foils for a long slender neck.

Togs a “slim jim" should rule out of her wardrobe because they accentuate her boyish figure are straight skirts, severely tailored suits, long-fitted coats. tight sweat- ers, knitted suits.

SLOPPY GROOMINGJS BLOW TO POISE

There are two tell-tale ways by which a girl's sloppy groomirg habits advertise themselves. One. obviously, is by the way she acts—-a sort of attitude of apology -when she lacks a feeling of physical freshness.

Perhaps more important than looking scrubbed and wearing im- maculate clothes —as important as these are to a girl's appearance- is the big boost to her morale which a consciousness of good grooming gives.

A young girl has difficulty en- ough mastering poise as she grows up. She only makes her lot hard- er when she allows sloppy groom- ing habits to lower her good op- inion of herself. Few things help to strengthen self-respect as mucn as a knowledge that every rou- tine of good grooming has been chalked off before you start off for the clay.

Try adding to the basic routines of good grooming the little touches that make you feel more beautiful A dash of cologne. a sprinkling of luxurious bath powder, or an ex- quisite handkerchief put into a pocket-are not the frivolous ac- cessories that they might seem. Any of these things are worth hi0 price they cost if they help to strengthen a girl's good opinion of herself.

ORDHOPEDIO SURGERY IN RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS

Although rheumatism (rheuma- toid arthritis) is the oldest diseases known to man. the treatment, ha; remained the same for all the cen- turies — that is. rest, heat. and pain-relieving drugs.

As too much rest caused perman- ent stiffness of joints. physicians 5°!‘ many years have been using physical medicine - heat, massage. electricity-to relieve pain ’ and prevent stiffness. Then it was found that too much starch food was a factor in causing pain and stiffness: and diets containing small amounts of starch foods - potatoes. sugar, bread, pastry - were prescribed.

During a short visit to hhe orthopedic clinic of the Massachus- etts Hospital several years ago. I was surprised at the large number of cases of arthritis. due to various causes. that applied for treatment every morning. That the work done for arthritic patients in this hospi- tal has now becnrne known in other countries i5 shown by the report frrvn London, England. of a meet- ing of the section of Physical Medicine of the Royal Society of Medicine.

Dr. A. W. Law. a British ortho- pedic surgeon. had spent several months at the Massachusetts Gen- eral Hospital studying the methods of Drs. Bauer and smith Peterson. He said that the orthopedic sin"!- ccn is faking a greater share in overcoming the deformities of ‘heumatoid arthfitis. and espec- ial!" arthritis of the spine with its stiffness and deformities. "The team work cr a physician. an ex- pert in physical medicine heat. massage. electricity, and an orthn- medic surgeon is necesswy and in certain cases high voltage X-rav treatment cnav Wso be rervuired" Although rest is the first thought in the teatment of arth- ritis. too much rest causes stiff- ncss and deformity. so that a nice balance of rest and movement of the joints and muscles affected must be mantained. Where motion or exercise is used. pain is con- trolled by dings. if necessary.

In cases where permanent stiff- ness — ankylosis -- is present. surgery is used. The ends of the bones forming the Joint are re- moved. This relieves the pain, re- moves spasm of muscles and free movement is obtained.

FARM HOME AT DUSK

A farm can be so beautiful at dusk

As things unlovely night's swift

shadows hide.

And peace and rest come with the

eventide.

To mark the end of day a lone

star shines, _

And winds of night are whispering

in the pines.

A few stray pigeons wing their homeward flight,

A hilltop makes a picture in the night.

And all the little sounds that twi- light brings

Can scarce disturb the tranquil- ness of things. .

And now the farmer nightly rounds,

To see that all is well wlenw l- bounds:

Then day's work done. he turns to that most dear.

Where lighted windows shine with

evening cheer.
