\ Homemaking—

Here Is Guide to Home Linen Supplies,

+ For Housewife,

Career Girl, Bachelor

BELIEVING THAT EVERY WOMAN who runs a home should keep as careful check on supplies as her husband keeps in his business, the

.Cotton-Textile Institute has m

e a survey. of household needs for differ-

ent types of homes as. a glide to shopping. Here are .its recom-

mendations. Whether a wife has only a happy twosome to care for or as many children as the old woman in the shoe, she can run | her home efficiently if she maintains the following supplies: . ’ ‘In each bedroom, 2 mattréss pads, 6 sheets (108 inches long), 6 pillow cases, 2 blankets, and 2 bedspreads per bed; 2 pairs of draperies, and 2 bureau cover sets. In the dining room, 4 large tablecloths, 6 to 12 napkins per tablecloth (depending upon size of family), 2 luncheon and 2 bridge-table sets, 1 silence cloth. . In the bathroom, 6 hand towels, . 8 bath towels, and 4 wash cloths per person; 6 guest towels, 2 bathmats, and 2 shower curtains. In the ‘kitchen: 6 dish cloths, 12 dish and glass towels, 6 pot holders, 6 cleaning cloths. And for -housecleaning: one wet mop, one mop, 3 cleaning cloths for floors and baseboards, 6 dust cloths, 4 washing and scouring cloths. “For the Career Woman The young career woman who prides herself on keeping her small apartment as smartly groomed as herself will need bed and bathroom supplies on the above basis for herself and an occasional guest. She hasn't time to cook dinner. every night of the week nor the facilities for entertaining many people, so she will balance one or two large tablecloths with several colorful luncheon sets and some gay cocktail napkins. ‘Her kitchen and housecleaning supplies, likewise, can be cut to about two-thirds of the above list, because she has less need for them. For the Bachelor The Cotton-Textile Institute says

that the modern man takes as much’

interest in his bachelor quarters as a woman does, and many a woman could take a pointer from him in the Wey he wants everything “just 50.” requires the same bed sup- . plies as above, but in the bathroom he goes extravagant with enough towels for a whole family. A man seldom cooks except to show off, with the result that he wants only. large tablecloths and plenty of napkins to impress a number of friends with his culinary talents. And his kitchen supplies will express by their abundance a fine contempt for anything so petty as rinsing out a dish towel and drying it after using. 5 As for housecleaning equipment, thet is something for a maid to worry about, so he’ll turn the list over to her ahd concentrate on the bigger things of life. » » ”

Today's Recipe STALE CAKE crumbs make an unusual dessert when transformed into croquettes—serve them crisp and hot ‘with hard sauce. Prepare them this way: Take 2 cups stale cake crumbs, 1 cup milk, 2 egg yolks, 2 teaspoons vanilla, butter, 2 egg whites and hard sauce. . : Soak all but about 1-3 cup of cake crumbs in the milk for 1 hour.

Heat, remove from flame and add yolks and vanilla, mixing thoroughly. Chill. Form chilled mixture into croquettes. Rol in egg whites, then in reserved cake crumbs. Brown in butte in frying pan and serve hot with hard sauce.

Your Health

By JANE STAFFORD FAMILIAR STAND-BYS for the relief of pain—hot-water bottles, ice bags, aspirin and other drugs, including codeine and alcohol—have

recently been - put through some].

rigorous scientific tests by two groups of scientists with results that your doctor may be applying before long.! ; Instead of ordering a hot-water

ary bottle to relieve pain, for example,

he may prescribe the use of a device that nisvmitienily applies heat or a cooling breeze or both alternately. Results of using such a device are reported by Dr. George D. Gammon and Dr. Isaac Starr of the University of Pennsylvania in the current issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation. The hot-water bottle and the ice bag relieve pain by counter-irrita-tion. When you rub the sore spot after bumping against a sharp table edge you are also using counterirritation to relieve the pain. The Philadelphia doctors tested various counter-irritants on themselves and concluded that periodic rather than continuous counterrritation produced the maximum relief of pain. Tests on some 20 patients with the special device for producing periodic counter-irritation Suggested that proper use of such a method would give much more relief than “haphazard application of hotwater bottles and ice bags.” un

: » ” THE EFFECTS of pain-relieving drugs were tested by Dr. H. G. Wolff, Dr. J. D. Hardy and Dr. H. Goodell, of the Russell Sage Institute of Pathology, New York City. Acetylsalicylic acid, familiarly known as aspirin, relieves pain but has very little psychological effect, their studies, also reported in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, show. Acetanilid and acetophenetidin are popular as headache remedies, it appears from the studies, because, besides relieving pain, these substances lessen anxiety and restlessness. Alcohol, like morphine, has a double action in that it bgth relieves pain and makes the person feel detached about the pain even while perceiving it. Giving two pain-relieving drugs together, for example codeine and acetylsalicylic acid, does not increase the pain-relieving action beyond that of the most active” ingredient of the combination, but does increase the sedative effects, which may be what your doctor wants to achieve when he prescribes

such a combination.
