Primed All Gift!

Such items are prized as izifl-5. and many a uoman who does beau- tiful handwfirk enjoys creating things of beauty for her children.

The heirlooms of tomorrow start with your choice of materials. See that ex-erythinz in them can be washed. and washed and washed. (lnnstant. cleanliness is essential in bringing them thrnugh the gener- ations with their sparkle intact.

Cottons a Good Choice

You rnnli. go far wrong on the yvrnderiul cottons available in such

variety. Choose prc-shrunk vat- tlyed cotlon. making sure that thread. tapes. bindings. mm. are

all washable. too, before you start your work. Many cotton hanrimades go right into the washing machine with nary a thought of damage. Others are best washed carefully by hand.

Generally speaking. the heavier pieces. such as crocheted or knitted bedspreads. patchwork quills. .-tiirdy Iabieccloths or pillow slips. can take machine washing. Use hot suds and rinses on white or pale rnlnred articles. Bright or dark colors. or those with more than one color. are safer in warm suds and ririses.

llang Carefully

Hang precious handmade items carefully for maximum shape re- tention and a minimum of wear. For larger item! like bedspreads or quilts. use two parallel lines setia font nr so apart.

Hang each piece evenly. and let it sag R. little between the lines-

can of Fragile item-

More fragile items. such as 0963' work or lacy cottons which have a problem of shape-retention, should be gently washed by hand. No scrubbing! Use two light sessions in fresh soapsuds, rather than one prolonged one.

very fragile pieces should be pop- ped into a mesh bag or bastedto 8 sheet before washing. If the plant!!! is small and fragile, put it into I capped jar half-filled with warm soapsuds and shake it. up and down to clean. Rinse in same way and lay pieces flat to dry.

No ironing is needed. actually. on knitted or crocheted bedspreads of cotton. But. if you do want to press them. cover WW1 3. Turkish towel and work from the wrong side. Place small. recctangular 1119085 lengthwise on board and iron in one direction only. For pieces with openwork or delicate inserts, place a press cloth of tlmue over fragile areas and press only with broad base of iron. For the best job. iron cottons on the right side. But avoid passing over- monograms or em.- broidery. when the piece is pres- ed. turn these areas down over a well-padded board and iron them from the wrong side. The design will stand out effectively.

"Today we have a big piece of news, Madame," announced the Chef. "A young lady has invaded the oyster industry!

"We met her yesterday at a re- ception. )he lives in Delaware. and is a very active partner with her husband in the oyster business. She understands every phase. and this includes oyster planting. harvesting- shucking. transportation. canning and freezing.

service of Oysters

"The lady iii Betty Lcnman. We talked about the service of oyst.era-- on the half shell. Rockefeller. cas- ino, in pies, escalloped, fried and stewed.

”'I'hen she disappeared into a big food freezer and came out with sev- eral packages of two new oyll-er products for our taste-test kitchen -frozen breaded ready-to-fry oys- ters. and oysler stew for two. frozen in a can.

"Here are the samples we shall taste-test." .

Samples Enjoyed

We enjoyed the breaded oysters sauteed in butter. and the frozen oyster stew. made according to dir- ections on the can.

These excellent products are being nalionally distributed. and this is imporiilnl. because shellfish. like nsh and other seafoods. are All ex- cellent source of proteins. minerals and vitamins.

The Chef set to work. and from the frozen oysters. created two new dishes in honor of the 'Lady of the oyster":

Oyster Toast; Tarlare: Thaw and separate 2 (6 oz.) pkgs. breaded ready-to-fry frozen oysters. Dust with celery salt and monosodlum. glutamate. Slow saute in butter or margarine until light brown.

To serve, arrange 2 or 3 oysters to a person on halved touted de- crusted bread, lightLv spread with sauce tartare. Garnish with celery- cole slaw. parsley or cross. and olives or tomato wedges. Serves 4 to 6. -

Foricocktail service. use the bite- sized service -- one oyster to a square of toast tartare.

The following dish is very good for luncheon or supper.

Celeried Oysters: Cook l'i c. sliced celery 10 min. or until bite- tender. Place 2 (8 oz.) cans frozen oyster stew-for-two in boiling water to half cover. Let stand 5 min. to loosen contents.

Open and transfer to a qt. sauce- pan. Bring to a slow-boil. Add cel- ery. Stir in 2!; tbs. flour and 4 drops tabasco blended with 2 tbs. mayonnaise; simmer 1 min.

serve on slices of buttered crisp toast, or between. and on top of. crusty baking powder biscuits. Gar- nish with minced parsley. Serves 4 to 6.

Three Virus Strains Involved in Influenza

Like the commonicold. influenza itself is seldom. if ever. fatal. But the influenza virus can do A lot more than merely make you uncom- fortable and maybe miss a couple of days' work,

The virus-there being at least three strains. A, A Prime and B- can make you susceptible to serious influenza by damaging the cilia in your nose and throat.

Definition of Cilia

The cilia are tiny hairs lining the upper air passages. They trap the germs you breathe into your bodies. An' infection gains a foothold in your lungs when this filtering pro- ccss is damaged.

I think you can readily see that the flu can easily, lead to pneu- monia. if you dont take the pro- per precautions.

Many times you have probably mistaken a bad cold for influenza. I doubt that any disease is mis- diagnosed so frequently as influ- enza.

symptoms More Severe .

The symptoms are allghlly more severe with the A virus than with the B..'l"he kind of infection pres- ent, however. cannot be determined by the symptoms alone.

The disease usually starts with chills.' You might haxe R. fever. lose your appetite and feel sick to your stomach. You might vomit. You'll probably feel tired and have severe. sharp headaches. Your mus-

be flushed and maybe you'll be con- atipated.

Temperature Not High

Rarely Will Your temperature be Above 100 degrees. Your fever will be the highest on the first day. After that. your temperature should subside.

symptoms like those of a cold may also be preleni. You'll probably sneeze frequently. and have a harsh. dry, metallic cough. There will be

MARY llAWOR'I'H'S MALL

Husband's Tanirums May Lasi For Weeks

DEAR MARY HAWORTH: We are married 11 years and have two sons, ages 9 and 3, respectively. Usually George and I get along very well. excqn for minor irrita- tions: but every few months. regu- lar as clockwork. he goes into a sort of tantrum that may last. weeks. He was released by the Army. with I. "-paychoneu utlc" di- Iknosil. shortly after we married.

He love: our sons, but is morp partial to them when they are small and sweet. I-le wu wonder-” ful to'me during a critical illness. also after the birth of the boys: but when things are nonnal he has these mody spells and some- times. when in bad humor. he i DI the older boy sadistically. It breaks my heart, but he acts worse if I say anything. and his aim throughout is to torment me. more than, the boy.

George expects the older boy to be very masculine, yet takes no time for family fun with him. He accused me of making him a sissy, but I feel I must. give him the love and interest his father doesn't. Recently he disappointed this boy. refusing to take him to a school affair (though he had promised), simply because one of his gar- menta wasn't ready. Yet he has half a dozen similar garments he might have worn.

Aslia Recipe For Harmony

I've.got a part; time jdb to help with medical bills. and, George HOP! living. "Why don't you quii: that two-bit job?" even though he knows we need the money. He lets me manage the budget and prom- ises to take an interest: in the dia- buraala. but never does. He merely criticizes what I do. knowing noth- ing about it actually.

His mother died when he was a child and he had a very wonder- fui ltepmother; but somehow he must have felt insecure. I don't want: a divorce but is there any- thing I can do to make us a hap- pier family? I am slowly losing all my love for him. E. B

This In Drift Towards Illness

Dear R. 8.: The cyclical pattern of George's recurrent ' gthening moods of host.lllt.y' (interspersed with periods of agreeable though immature behavior) suggests an accelerating drift toward: mental illness.
