LET'S EAT

Serve A Bowl Of Soup

To New Year's

A big tureen of bubbling soup ' eeplng hot over a warmer. Plen:l' of sandwiches 'on the table. and more ready in the freezer. Christ- mas cookies galore. steaming cof- fee and beverages of one's choice.

What more can guests ask on a round of calls on.New Year's Eve?

Make the sandwiches a day in advance. and refrigerate or freeze them. Have clam chowder, shrimp or lobster bisque, New England fish chowder, oyster stew or potato soup ready to heat.

Set a big table. buffet style, ready for service. Add a few dishes of as- sorted olives. pickles, or raw relish- es on ice. with the first ring of the bell the party is on.

"To save time and energy, I sug- gest the ladies use the new frozen soups." observed the Chef. "They are all reall ,tops. To date, the soups of var ous companies include oyster stew, fish chowder. shrimp bisque. clam chowder and potato soup.

"It would be I good plan for the hostess to have two kinds. The potato soup can be given a vichy- soisse touch by adding a little cream and plenty of minced chives."

Fish stick Sandwiches: Dust frozen fish sticks with monosodium glutamate. Broil 8 minutes, turning once! or spread on a pan and bake 25 minutes in a hot oven. Serve in buttered hot buns spread with sauce tartare. .

Hot nan:-Biscuits: Bah thin baking powder biscuits in relays as needed. Spread with butter blended with table mustard and put to- gether with slices of hot baked or pan-broiled ready-to-eat ham.

Now I'd like to suggest some as- sorted nllings for cold sandwiches. They can be made in advance and refrigerated or frozen.

I. cooked minced beef. veal or lamb. slightly butter-sauteed, grated raw carrots and minced celery. com bined with ketchup and butter. Mustard Mayonnaise

2. Chopped eggs. minced chives and chopped cooked spinach, moist- ened sparingly with mustard may- onnaise. Butter the bread before spreading. ,

3. Chopped cooked bacon. cream cheese and mincsd clams mixed with homemade or canned Italian sauce.

4. Minced ham combined. with cream cheese, butter, minced pickle relish and a. few drops of Worces- tershire.

Cut crusts from sandwiches. then put together as usual with the de- sired fllling. Cut in halves or tri-- angles. Stack up, slip in polyethy- lene bags, seal and refrigerate all day, or freeze up to two or three days in the food freezer. In the lat- ter case, allow 30 minutes to't'haw.

Take Stock of Health Al Start of New Year

There's a New Year's resolution I ivould like all of you to make-and

esp.

Make up your mind that from now on you will have a complete medical examination at least once every year. .

Neglecting our Health

A great many of us know more" about our automobiles than we do about our bodies. We take better care of our can. too.

Don't wait until you feel ill be- fore going to the doctor. An evalu-. ation of your health at regular in- tervals can do much to prevent needless deaths. -

A You-ly Check

For morethan "a quarter of a century now, I have been going to the Mayo Clinic at Rochester. Minn.. about once a year for is checkup. I didn't think there was anything wrong with my health, but I want- ed lo be sure there wasn't.

Maybe you can't take the time

physician. Disease Can Start Slowv

.

Many diseases start slowly and insldiously and we may be unaware of them. Your doctor may be able to correct these diseases if treat- ment is begun early.

By making an electrocardiogram tracing he can determine the con- dition of your heart. He can find out how your heart reacts to exer- cise, and whether its size is normal.

He can test your kidney excre- tions to see if your kidneys are working as they should. He can also get an indication of how your kid- neys are functioning by determin- ing the amounts of various sub- stances ln the blood.

Special Tests

He can make special tests to see if your liver is working properly.

He can take your blood pressure. and make other tests to determine whether your circulation is operat- ing efficiently.

He can search for infection in your teeth, tonsils. nasal sinuses and. if you are a men, in your prog-

tate Sland. Additional Consideration

13! carefully considering any

C0m'lJlaints which you may have, he can decide whether additional X- rays and laboratory studies are re- quired.

Through this health audit, your doctor can determine whether you need a special diet, whether you need more vitamins and minerals. whether you should exercise more or less. and whether you should have extra periods or relaxation. If any specific medical or surgical

treatment is needed. he'll discover that, too.

Making Life worthwhile

With all the modern methods at

our disposal. we doctors can do a great deal to reconditlon a person and, in this way. not only add years to his life, but continuing life to his years. -

QUESTION AND ANSWER.

N. M.: Is peeling of the lips a symptom of venereal disease?

Answer: This ordinarily is not due to venereal infection.

A Clean-up Campaign For Holiday Trimmings

has a way or working itself into a

Tile holidays are over. The tree is looking bare, its trimmings awry. the festive bows and boughs are sagging. Now begins the job of storing away trimmings that can-be reused, and putting the house to rights in proper workaday order.

To avoid strcwing about any more evergreen needles than nec-

essary, it's a good idea to carry a big carton or basket around with you to gather the greens from the mantel and elsewhere.

Then check for any sticky pitch spots, and wash them off with a soapy cloth before they collect dust and grime. X

It'll pay to make 9. production of dismantling the tree. Take your time, gathering the loops and hooks of each ornament in a small jar or box so there won't be a frantic search next year.

Wipe off all balls and bulbs with s soapy cloth to restore their shine. dry carefully. wrap separately in tissue and pack away in well-labeled boxes.

Egg cartons make fine and sturdy containers for the mailer items.

rug and defying the most persist- ent assaults with a vacuum cleaner. To,get up the last stray bits of fluff. try one of those little rough rubber sponges used for keeping suede shoes dust-free. At the same time. make a mental note for next year that a. snowy white sheet draped at the base of the tree makes a fine substitute for the cotton batting, and is easily picked up and tossed into the washing machine.

Wax Drippings

The gummy residue left from taping decorations on mirrors and windows can be removed easily with cleaning fluid, followed by soap and water. Wax drippings from candles on mantel, window sills or other wood surfaces should be care- fully scraped off with a wooden mixing spoon or other blunt object that won't scratch. Rub any re- maining spots lightly with hot suds and wipe quickly with a. dry cloth.

Wrap unused holiday candles in wax paper and lay flat in a box to keep them from bending in sum- mer heat. Melt down all the burned down candle stumps and convert them into ll single fat candle. Save one medium-sized stump to provide the wick, securing it with a couple of drops of wax in the center of a tin can. Melt the others down and pour the liquid wax into the can

Depressed by Mate's Neglect; wile'Sleals

DEAR. MARY HAWORTH: I have a young sister who has been married only a year. she has a lovely baby girl, and since the baby came Ellen has been very depressed. owing to the fact that her husband is always "out with the boys". spending his earnings, never concerned about livlru ex- expenses. etc.

When Clyde is hauls for an evening, he ignores Ellen to the point that if she shows any 31- fection. he tells her to get away, to leave him alone. he is too tired and so on.

Ellen always has been a lovely girl and has good morals; but be- cause of her emotional depression and financial worries (also because she is a sister I love very much). I have been giving her what little financial help I can.

How Control The Mistake.

Now the real problem is that I have caught her stealing money from my wallet; and I know her motive is to pay some household expense. I don't know how often she has done this. but I do know that it is something new for her, and she wouldn't do it unless she were desperate. I am worried sick about the whole thing-Not be- cause she has taken money from me but for fear she may do it to somebody else.

How can I tell her that I know she has been taking money from me? I know she will cry from shame and hurt, to think that she has stooped so low; and I will, too, but what can I do? E. Ry Each Disturbs Other-'s Fears

DEAR. E. R.: It appears that Clyde and Ellen are two of a kind in their piteous immaturity of character. evident in the be. llavior you report. Each is manl- festing a childish kind of panic, in the wake of the shock of pro- ducina a baby-as if this were a form of responsibility they'd never counted on, and have no idea. how to manage.

Clyde has. in effect, taken to his heels. back to the thicket of bachelor days-as if to kid himself in company of "the boys", that nobody has any strings on hilgl; that he isn't tied to a wife and baby; that he is Just as free as he was before marriage. And in pushing Ellen aside. spurning her affection, when at home, he figuratively rejecting mate-lav; M a trap-because he profoundly re- senis the "costs" of love: the ob. ligations that go along with shar- ing the llfe of the girl you want for once thought you wanted ex. clusively).

Ellen's critical depression, in the rejection experience. signifies a chronic private history of emo- tional .confusion and insecurity that pre-dates her involment with Clyde. It suggests s. habit of help- less dependency upon some "next person"-to protect her from, and carry her through life.

Morbid Childish Neurosis Evident

Perhalm Ellen was both overly supervised and meanly treated by parent (or caretakers) in forma- tive years. so that all along her Personality has been shaky and disorganized for lack of suitable support and instruction. in get- ting conditioned for healthful self- rellant living. In any case, the re- coni indicates that she brought a rather sickly personality to mar- riage. and now the problems posed by Clyde's ohildishness seem too
