TIMES OFFERS, I m Contest Will Last Tbn Days and Indianapolis Housewives Are Invited to Enter —Are Yankee Meals Losing Out? U \Y/I AITEB, an American dinner I’ ’ Now, if Oscar of the Waldorf-Astoria had just told ex-Pre-mier Lloyd George that when he asked to be served a typically American meal we’d never have to write this and, indeed, we would never have stopped to think what is it and American dinner, what!

To come right down to It* what Is an American dinner? When the boss banded me a clipping telling of Mr. Lloyd George’s experience I grinned and thought "Hm, easy, sirloin steak and fr—” But no, not French fried potatoes—nothing American about that. And so I found myself face to face with an interesting question," "If Lloyd George were to knock at your front door and say, ‘Mrs. American Housewife,’ tonight I am your guest for dinner. These beastly hotels insist on serving me mousse of sole, potatoes Parisienne, Waldorf salad, and I don’t know what all. Now how about a real, honest to goodness American dinner tonight for me and the Missus and our Uttle girl?" What would you prepare? Not at all equal to the occasion I called upon Mrs. C. P. Benedict, a member of the Home Economics Club of Indianapolis, who offered the following menus: A THANKSGIVING DINNER Fruit Cocktail. • , Roast Turkey. Sage Stuffing. Mashed Irish Potatoes. Gravy. Candled Sweet Potatoes. Buttered Cauliflower. Celery. Cranberry Ice. Hot Rolls. Head Lettuce With Thousand Island Dressing. Pumpkin Pie. Whipped Cream. Coffee. That, of course, would please the most exacting of premiers. And no less would this "company dinner” Mrs Benedict submitted for sake of argument. Tomato Bouillon.* Celery. Planked Steak, Garnished With Potato Roses. Baked Green Peppers. Stuffed With Cora. 1 Brussels Sprouts. Hot Rolls. Butter. Jelly. Pineapple Salad. With Raisins or Nuts. Wafers. Ice Cream. Cake. Coffee. Mints. Win $lO Easy Planning these meals, however, only opened up an interesting matter for discussion and we decided that all the housewives who read The Times would like to be in on It. Now, think it over, and see what. In your opinion, would exactly fit ail the requirements of a “100 per cent American” dinner and send it In to The Indianapolis Times Menu Editor and help us solve the problem. A prize of $lO will be awarded the person submitting the winning menu. The contest will last ten days. Send In your menu plainly written with your name and address and telephone number, using only one side of the paper, and watch for the an-, nouncement of the winner. \Dr. CC.Robinson DANDRUFF

mREATMENT of the scalp for dandruff and preventing the loss of hair is a most important part of your health program. ft la Just as foolish to rub a bald head with hair tonic and expect hair to grow, as it would be to rub the tonic on an egg and expect it to sprout feathers. The time to prevent dandruff and baldness is when you have hair and not when you haven't. If you have a tendency to thin skin on your scalp, you will have your troubles keeping baldness away. Thin skin, rather tight over the head, does not permit of a free circulation to nourish the scalp and the hair roots. I* your scalp is thick and moves rather freely over the skull bones, your hair will probably stick by you to the last. Now for the treatment: The two chief aids are cleanliness and scalp massage. A third may be added for good results, brushing the hair. Any good toilet soap or green soap with a little alcohol added will prove effective as a shampoo. If you insißt on a preparation try this one: In one-half p;nt use 50 parts soft soap, two parts oil of lavender, and 33 parts alcohol. Massage must be started in early youth and kept up through your whole life. It is by far the greatest agent to preserve the hair. Use the finger tips to massage the scalp, night and morning. Brushing should be carried out in a careful and systematic manner. It should be done at night and in the morning. Some other during the day will also prove beneficial. Brush until you feel your scalp warm under the brush movements. It helps to remove the dandruff and stimulates the scalp and hair roots. Shaving the head or frequent cutting does not help the growth of the hair. RUN DOWN BY TAXI Stanley Yesek, East Chicago, Killed When Crossing Street By Timea Special EAST CHICAGO. I/id., Oct. 26.

To Undo 2 the Pores by Removing Stifling Skin

Clogged pores cause many complexion difficulties. This condition quakes the skin coarse in texture. It interferes with elimination of waste matter, producing a muddy or blotchy complexion, blackheads, eruptions and other defects. To open and cleanse the closed pores there is nothing more effective than ordinary mercollzed wax. It should be applied at night like cold cream, and washed off in the morning. Mercolized wax, to be had at any drug store (one ounce will do), will also remove the effects of the condition referred to. That is, it removes the undesirable complexion itself, with its disfiguring marks* Pos--esslng a peculiar absorbent power, it i ikes off the foiled skin in minute particles, so gradually there is no inconvenience. It is recommended in preference to cosmetics, as the new complexion it reveals is a . natural on*.—Advertisement.

Letter From Mrs. Mary Alden Prescott to Priscilla Bradford

MY DEAR PRISCILLA: You can not tell how lonely I have been since you left me for New York. ' It Is not good for an old woman like ; me to live alone and I am delighted to know that when you return you . are going to bring whatever part of | your goods and chattels you may desire and come over to my house or rather your house—and live with me until the book Is closed. Today I made my will, my flear, and left you all my small possessions. It is a sad thing, dear Priscilla, to realize after you have borne a child and brought Mm up as nearly Godfearing as you could, that he would cast off his mother In her old age. Although It grieves me to the heart to know this, my grief is not nearly as great as my sea for him—for we know that just so surply as a child casts off his father or mother, just so surely will he be cast off by his child. This, of course, Is more sure in the case of John, because he has taken Into hla heart and home a nameless child who will surely disappoint, if not dishonor, him. I am quite sure you are mistaken, dear Priscilla, about seeing Leslie on the street in New York. I have learned in a roundabout way that her father is very ill and if she had left her home for any place It would be to go to him. I would write to her or to ; John and say that you thought you I had seen her, but I solemnly vowed to myself that I would never again write to my son until he has written to me and In some way apologize, if not ask my forgiveness for the letters he has sent me. I do not want to shorten y6ur stay at all in New York City, but I shall be very lonely until you return to Your devoted friend, MARY ALDEN JRECOTT.

Martha Lee Says Marriage Vows Mean More Than Illicit Love

Thfee letters came to me today that bespeak a fine spirit of self-control.’ Two of them were written by-men; one was by a woman.

All three of these persons are married. They do not love their mates. Still, they live with them and do their best to live up to their marriage contxacts. They put their marriage vows above passion or selfish love. All are of the opinion that love is instinctive and cannot be cultivated. They prove, however, by their own actions, that it can be'controlled. So, although our discussion of love, its cultivation and control was “officially” closed, I want my readers to see these letters. Here they ars: * Warning Against Infatuation Dear Miss Lee: I have been reading the arguments for and against cultivated love. As no one has voiced my argument against such love. I, feel that my opinion might have some •weight. My wife and I were both young at the time of our marriage. I thought f loved 1 ,v and 1 think she felt that her love wa# genuine. We have had short periods of happiness, but the greater part of our six years of matrimony has been unhappy. Os course, each professes true love for the other now, but a blind man could see that there is no genuine love in her affection for me. I am frank to confess that my deeper affection is for another. I-have tried hard to cultivate love out of what I believe wae only temporary Infatuation, but have had no sucoess. I would like to say to young people: Don’t mistake infatuation for love. Don’t think you can not live without any certain person. , Look before you leap. Above all, don’t try to cultivate love; wait for Cupid’s dart. DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE. . Duty Holds Her Dear Miss Lee: In expressing my opinion on love, I should like to say that in twenty years’ experience, the nearest I have come to loving the man I married is in the deep and abiding respeot I have for him. My mother was not a deaignlng woman, but she did cause me to marry a man I tried bard to make her understand I did not love. I told him, too, I was too young to marry. I was 18; he was 20. Finally I made up my mind to say no more, but plav the game with h*m as I always had done with ray brothers. In s :rear I was s mother: that made the game a little more serious. I think there are two kinds of love—a love that can stand the turmoil of life and yet remain untarnished is the kind I would want. A relfleh love that craves the things only of the body cannot endure. My huahend really is a mixture: he could not' have been otherwise and continued to live with me. for I had neither kind of love for him. I am very happy now for I am the mother of “Spirit of Gladness” who wrote you of her wonderful mother. I've lived through spe'ls of being blue and feeling abused, but I found my jnorbldsess reflected on my children. I was even robbing them of a hapoy childhood, a thing I was privileged to have Mr friends call me a wizard for keeping vay husband in love with me Mv secret is in my maternal feeling for him. Fves* man loves to be taken care of I pride myself on being a good cook and housewife I try to stay young for my children s sake. M.v husband naturally thinks it Is partly for his sake. Perhaps it is. Who cau say? CANTO. Faithful to Family Dear Miss Lee: lam a middle-aged man. and for the first time In my life, I hare read, within the last week a department such as yours, and this matter of the control of the affections is of Interest to me. Perhaps love can be controlled in a few cases, but I know positively it cannot in all. I have a wife and several* children, hut never knew what love was until I had been married ten years or more. For several years, realizing tha> 1 lover! n-oher girl as I never knew a man could love, I have struggled hard to love the woman I felt I ought to love, and to forget the one I really love. Although I am not seeing this other girl, it is Impossible for me to forget her. and while, for the sake of my family, I am doing my best to stick to my post of duty, yet I feel that, if there is any manner whereby I may give a message to coming generations, I should do It. and this la my message: That they do not marry until they are sure they have met the person whom they love Irresistibly and whom they cannot live without and that they do not be sure that this is the person until they have experienced that feeling for a year or two No greater tragedy can happen to a human being than that of gloving one person and trying to live with another, for while there may be some instances under which one can cultivate love, yet there certainly are many odds against it. and the chances are that they will never sueeeed In cultivating lovs that will make them happy. If your department can accomplish the educaUon of the race in this on thing alone, you will have contributed a lasting benefit to mankind. Speak the message loud and clear 1 A MIDDLE-AGED MAN.
