Middle-age frets about double chins, grey hair or wrinkles. Boys and girls in their teens are likely to suffer' from acne, a trouble that interferes with a normal social] life, that makes the victims self-conscious, if net downright miserable, less this affliction is taken in hand at the start, the result may be a complexion that is dotted with red spots that may eventual ly develop into scars. Every mc.her should realize that something should be dome, and at once, The old idea that son or daughter will outgrow this infection is all wrong; it may continue well into the twenties. Acne is due to excessive acti- vity of the sebaceous glands, usu. ally comes along about the age of fourteen, when other changes are going on in the physical sys- tem. Long before that time the child should be instructed in care- ful face-washing habits and the diet should be regulated. Twice a day soap should be used freely, and completely rinsed away, It is particularly important that the skin should have a rousing old scrubbing at bedtime. The use of a complexion brush is recommend- od. When acne appears, the wise step is to take the child to a physician who specialize in diseases of the gkin and scalp. It pays in the long run, as home treatment may avail little, The X-Ray is used in some cases. There are serums that of- ten prove effective. The doctor will give directions for healthful living, plus instructions as to lo- cal treatment. Many specialists believe that fats must be completely elimina- ted from the diet. No fried foods, cream, butter, pastries--other than angel food cake--ice cream, rich sauces or gravies, all of which stimulate the sebaceous glands, Chocolate is taboo. Sweets must be cut down. The diet should include lean meats, poul- Un-| JAMESON Every age has its beauty grief 4 J +* try, fish that is not fat, fruit, cereal, milk and.vegetables, though -some~doctors susscst that yellow vegetable: ba omitted, The daily bath, with plenty of s. p and friction with a. heavy brush, is part of the treatment; it helps the skin all over the body to function normally as an organ of elimination. It is important that the intestinal tract be kept active; e nty per cent, of acne patients--it is claimed--sutfer from constipation, If only a few pustules are pre- sent, and medical attention is not pos ible, hot applications after the nightly face:washing may be found of benefit. Dissolve two tablesponlfuls of boric acid in a quart of fairly hot water, Dip a heavy washcloth into the solution, hold close to the flesh. Repeat six or seven times, A Physician By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D DIET AFFECTS LIVER, KIDNEYS No achievement of modern medi. cine is likely to pay greater divid- ends in health and happiness, par-' ticularly to pepole past middle age, than the recent discovery that cer- tain elements in the foods we eat will protect both liver and kidneys against serious damage due to a wide variety of causes. This newer knowledge of the liver is of the utmost importance to all of us. It is resulting in better treat- ments for many different disorders. It is largely responsible for the fact that people today are recovering from serious operations in far less time than was formerly needed. And best of all, it points the way toward the prevention of grave organic dis. orders which often come with ad- vancing age. The liver is one of the biggest and busiest of vital organs. It performs almost countless tasks and every one of them is so important that failure in any will react on other organs and affect the whole body. Fatty degeneration of the liver has always been a dread disorder as people reach middle age. Today we realize that this condition, in which large amounts of fat are deposited in the liver, while at the same time the kidneys undergo degeneration, is due to lack of choline, a substance nig is part of the vitamin B.com- ex.

Send your order to DAILY TIMES One of the very important amino acids which form the building blocks of protein foods is also related to choline. It is known as methionine and it is from this amino acid that choline is made. When plenty of food containing methionine is eaten, fat will not be deposited in the liver. If the process has already started, it can be deposited in the liver. If the process has already started, it can be stop- ped by the giving of choline and methionine, both of which are now available in pure form as medicines. It is a well-known fact that seri- ous operations have always put a heavy strain on the liver and that anesthetics often damage it at least temporarily. Both these things can now be prevented by giving amino acids before operation and a diet rich in protein afterwards. Industrial Chemical Carbon tetrachloride is a very im. portant industrial chemical, used in gasoline and cleaning fluids. Unfor- tunately, it is also a poison. When inhaled in large quantities, it causes serious liver and kidney damage. Both of these effects of carbon te. trachloride poisoning can now be successfully treated by methionine. It sometimes happens that to fight the dangerous effects of dis- ease, the doctor must use an almost equally dangerous drug. Arsenic is one of these. Very effective in the disorders for which it is used, it can, nevertheless, have a damaging effect on the liver. Today, arsenic may be used without this risk by the giving of methionine or protein preparations rich in methionine. There is another liver disorder called infectious hepatitis which is an. inflammation produced probably by a wpirus. A virus is an organism so small that it can pass through a porcelain filter. Diets of patients with beginning cirrhosis and hepatitis have been supplemented with methionine and choline. Although some reports in. dicate that the giving of methionine by mouth has not shortened the durdtion of infectious hepatitis, it may be that the failure to obtain good results has been because the dose used was 'too small, as is so often the case with many, but not all, of the JVvitamins, of coursé the amount of methion.- ine to be used in any condition must be determined by the physician. Doses which are too large may cause givkness at the stomach and vomit- Today, the story of the effect on the liver and kidneys of certain amino acids is far from complete. A whole new and hopeful field has been opened up and further dis-. coveries will surely follow. Enough has certainly been told, however, to convince every one of us of the abso- lute necessity of watching our diets to make sure they contain enough of those good simple foods -- meat, milk ,eggs, cheese -- which contain these highly important amino acids. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS E. M. D.: Will you please tell me what to do to stop discharge from the ear? I got this ear infection as a result of a severe head cold last summer. * Answer: It is best that a chronic running ear be treated by an ear specialist. A namber of methods of treatment 'are employed, among them being the repeated use of an. tiseptic preparations, such as lodine powder. Treatment with ultraviolet light may be helpful in some cases. tim, HOW TO KEEP BABY'S SKIN SOFT, SMOOTH AND HEALTHY ANTISEPTIC :7.1:3 g-]]° GAZETTE Pattern Department, Oshawa, Hallowe'en Frolic Held at Westmount Over 100 members of Westmount '| Home and School Association spent an enjoyable Hallowe'en party amid Jack o'lanterns, k cats, and witches, supplied by the pupils of the school on Monday night.

During the winter season most women go into a calesthenic decline. That is when the terrible moment comes that one realizes there is difficulty in zipping up the frock. Is it possible that an extra inch has been added to the waist line? It is. And one inch brings along another. Fat cells are no respecters of persons. You ward them 'off by keeping muscles firm and resilient. It is a pity that more women, especially those in the thirties, do not realize the need of physical education. Men are ashamed' to confess that they take no exercise of any kind; women need it just as much, more, in fact, if they are to retain the trim silhouettes of the lovely ladies in the fashion pictures.

BOUILLABAISE A French fish stew with garlic; usually made with a variety of fish, both shell and scale fish, caught in the Mediterranean Sea. also Creole style made with re snapper and red fish, Movie Column By BOB THOMAS Hollywood --(AP)-- Each year at Academy Award time there is a battle royal among female contend. ers for the acting oscar, while the actor's race is a sluggish affair, Want to know a reason why? It's because male tears have virtually disappeared from Hollywood films. It's a triusm that the way to at- tract award consideration is to have a nice wepey role. Most of the gals in academy races have portrayed tear-filled heroines, .whereas their leading men are.denied that sure- fire % pivpe bimming eyes. These thoughts were evoked by watching Jane Wyman in a crying scene for "Johnny Belinda." Her co-star, Lew Ayres, further observ. ed: "Movie acting is a woman's business." -"I couldn't do it," Lew observed. And for two reasens: he can't turn it on and off the way the girls do; the American public doesn't want to see a man weep on the screen. "European and Latin films often portray men in emotional scenes which require tears," he said, "but we are too stoical 'to permit this: We folow the British in that re- spect, They rarely show a man in tears on the screen."" In the early days of movies male stars wept all over the place. Those films appear corny now. So the gals have taken over. the, teary: stuff.

Brief Review "The Exile" (U.I) offers Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., in- that fine film commodity which his father popu- larized, the swashbuckling drama. This. time young Doug portrays Charles II of England, harried and hounded by Roundhead assassins during his Dutch exile. The film starts slowly but finishes fast. The star is also the writer and producer and he serves handsomely in all three. categories. Household Hint While many American souffle recipes call for baking in a pan of water, you may get just as good results as far as fluffiness and flavor are concerned, if the pan of water is omitted. This also shortens the period of baking.

CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs, Beeckman: / Now that we are able to send congratulatory telegrams again, I would like to have you, please, answer a question which has al- ways perplexed me. I like the idea of sending a telegram on the wed- ding day, when the wedding it so be out-.f-toy'n and I therefore cannot attend. I'm never sure whether I should send this wire addressed to (1) the bride, who is -y friénd, .: (2) to the bride- groom, when I know him but not the bride, or (3) to both. Also, if you say to send it to the bride, should I address it in her maiden name or her new rmarried name? And this brings another question: When should the telegram be sent? Marie T. The wedding congratule ry telegram should be sent so ..at it will arrive on the day of the | wedding. timed as ne~rly as pos- sible to arrive about the hour of the receptior. It should be ad- dresved to "Mr. and Mrs, William. Newlywed, even though it may perchance arrive before the cere- mony has been performed, And it should be addressed to "Mr. and. Mrs." whether or not you know both the bride and bride- gr. m._ Also. of course, it should be worded to' include both bride and bridegroom, It is gracious to begin your telegram as you would a note of congr. ilations and best wishes: Dear Mary and John." A Postponed Wedding Reception Dear Mrs. Beeckman: I'm to be married in two months, and 'he.ceremony is. to take place in a city quite a dis- tance from my home, Would it be 'proper to have a reception here in our home city if we set a time to return for it? Or should we not plan to have any kind of re. ception mother says it is incorreet to have a reception, but my aunt thinks it may not be incorrect. Doubtful It would be correct, and a de- lightfs:l plan, for your mother (or your mother and father) to give a reception or tea or any kind of informal party for you and the bridegroom when you re- turn from the city where ceremony is performed, This par- the. - - ty need not be called a "Wede': ding reception" or even a "recep. tion," but can be, say, a tea in honor of you and yolr . bride.
