MANY 0!" US MAY NEED EXTRA IRON

E"3'”"' DEAR MISS DIX: Being the only child, I have been terribly spoiled by my parents. They never controlled the nor made me do anything I did not want to'do. I am accustomed to having my way about every- thing and I cannot stand being denied anything or thrwarted. I have been embarraued many times by not having had my faults correced while I was younger. My overbearing ways make me unpopular with boys and girls of my age and I am beginning to realize how ugly being a, spoiled is. Can you tell me how to correct some of my faults at home, in company. at school. at I party. or on a date? L.C,M.

Practically everybody knows that the blood must be rich in llelnoglc-"sin tiron) if we are to keep well and strong and. added

to iron. there must be a sufficient amount of calcium (lime). Foods rich in iron are meat (especially liverl). egg yolk. whole grains and leafy vegetables. Foods rich in calcium are milk. cheese. leafy vegetables and egg yolk. The or- dinary normal or healthy indivi- dual can get enough iron and cal- cium for hi5 daily needs by eating one or two servings of these ioods.

Thcre are many apparently nor- mal individuals whose skin is pale. lining of mouth pale and also lin- ing of eyelids. and there is often a fast heart. In The Journal of the Anicrican Medical Association. Dr. .lohn B. Youmans. Medical Depart- mcim. Iimderbllt University. Nash- ville, styxes that while foods rich in iron are sufficient to keep the blood rich enough in normal indi- viduals. those with thin blood. a general icrlilllr of weakness. and a rapid hcart need more than foods rich in iron. These anemic indivi- duals should see their physician and have iron prescribed direct.

Q. Is it proper to thank a host- ess for a meal?

A. No: the only one who gives thanks for a meal is a beggar. Do not say. "Thank you for the delic- ious dinner." but instead. "I've had a wonderful time.' 'or "It has been nice being with you." It is more prcpcry to indicate your enjoy- ment of the visit. than of the fact that you've been fcd.

Q. When leaving a person to whom one has just been introduc- cd. is it proper to say. "Good-by. Mr. Carter. I am very glad to have me: you"?

A. Yes, this is all right. Or. "Good-by. Mr. Carter; I hope I shall see you again somet;i:ne."

Q. How can I avoid dirty and sandy floors caused by the child- ren's overshoes?

A. A good way to keep child- ren's overshoes and galoshes is to buy some heavy paper shopping bags, writing the name of each child on a. bag. These can be hung on the closet hooks. It will also keep much sand and mud off the floor. of course the shoes should be dry before placing in the bags.

. How can I keep a partially used can of paint for an indefinite time?

A. The partly used can of paint can be kept indefinitely if it is cov- ered with melted paraffin.

Q. How can I keep melted chocolate from sticking to the pan?
