Housewife Should Participate

Fire Prevention Week

‘a %

. IF YOU WANT to cut down your chances of having a fire, Just inspect your home critically and then act on what you see. Fire Pre-, vention Week, this week, is a good time 'to start the habit 0 of inspections which will eliminate. the most important causes of fire and thereby increase the security of your home and family.

+ One of the major causes of fire ts poor housekeeping. “Poor housekeeping” to a fire safety expert does not mean that the furniture is dusty or that the windows need washing. It means that rubbish—old furniture, papers, clothes and many other things that people thing they have to kep—has been allowed to accumulate in dangerous quantities in

_ attics, cellars, and closets; that oily

dustcloths, mops, and the like are not kept in metal containers; and that other unsafe practices are folJowed. A fireman gping through your house would spot them instantly. Other ‘major fire causes involve equipment and its abuse. Put defective or overheated heating plants, flues and chimneys at the top of this list. Have chimneys cleaned periodically and your heating plant inspected and repaired, if necessary, before starting the winter fires. Defective electrical appliances and improper installations follow in importance. Use appliances that are tested and approved and have all extensions of wiring made by a qualified electrician. Look for frayed cords and loose sockets, Inspect your fire extinguishers and have them recharged. One of the most important causes of fire which is not so easily remedied by inspection, but which you can give attention to during Fire Prevention Week is careless smokIng and use of matches. You can at least provide plenty of good large ash receivers and safety matches. And you can insist that every smoker in your home snuff out cigarets and matches before throwing them away.

The Twelve-Day Diet Is Easy To Adapt to Entire Family

By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX \ . (Third of a Series) HERE'S more on the diet that cuts down both food cost and excess weight. If some members of the family don’t want to reduce, but do .like these menus, tell them to eat more bread and butter, more meat fat, an extra potato, heavier Miss | desserts. But for you who seek a more slender figure, the rules given in Monday's article must be strictly followed. Since grapefruit juice is the most economical source of vitamin C, it is featured on both. breakfast menus for the fifth and sixth-day of the diet. Vitamin A is found in the softboiled egg, milk and butter, as well as in carrots and spinach. As usual, thrifty cuts of meat are given for both days. Roast shoulder of veal, an economical cut, should pro-

'vide leftovers which can be used on

the sixth day in a meat salad and on the seventh day in a meat pie. FIFTH DAY 2 BREAKFAST—Large glass unsweetened grapefruit juice, 1 softboiled egg, 1 slice dry whole wheat toast, black coffee. ; LUNCH—Roast shoulder veal®, green peas, sliced orange, large glass milk, (*Recipe below.) DINNER—Clear broth, braised breast slices of beef, sliced beets, cantaloupe or other fresh melon, black coffee or tea with lemon.

: SIXTH DAY 'BREAKFAST—Large glass unsweetened grapefruit juice, 1 slice crisp melba toast, black coffee. LUNCH—Salad made from %- cup cold diced roast veal, %-cup chopped celery, ;-teaspocn onion juice, 2 tablespoons mineral oil dressing; half grapefruit, glass ‘milk, DINNER—Chilled tomato juice, braised arm steak, spinach, small baked potato, black coffee or tea with lemon.

The women should remember just one thing — that they owe their roommates the same brand of loyalty that they owe their families. Members of a family necessarily know most of each other’s faults— and while they may, and probably do, discuss those faults .among . themselves, they don’t talk about them to outsiders. . ® = = THE WOMAN who decides to share living quarters with another woman is going to find out all, or most, of ‘her faits-and probably in a hurry, If they are more Nan she can stand, she can always end the living arrangement. But she is taking unfair advantage of the other person if she talks about the personal habits, small faults, and idiosyncrasies she learned in: the close association. Lots of girls and women talk about their roommates even while they are still splitting the rent with them. And many others start to. tear them to pieces as soon as they end the arrangement.

BUT IT IS a low-down trick, ince. anybody, lived with day in and day out, is sure to display a lot of faults and a lot of weaknesses. So if the women who find themselves forced into temporarily sharing a home with another woman will keep quiet about their roommates, having to live with another woman won’t be such a hardship. In fact, there might even be fine and lasting friendships formed. But it will take loyalty on both sides.

DEAR JANE JORDAN—I know this will sound silly to you but

- to me it is very, very serious. I worry constantly about something or

other when I realize I don’t have a thing to worry about. My mind always is worried about little things that no one else would let bother = them, Such little things that it is silly to mention what they are. In fact, I've worried myself sick over many things that I have Yor~

Josten because since I have found something new to worry me half death. Can worry become a habit? Sometimes I I am going

b lose my mind. ] " REALLY WORRIED.

Answer--You are right in assuming that worry is a habit and there is hope in your recognition that you worry about nothing. It would be instructive if one could discover when you first started to’ worry, but the original worry lies so far back. in your childhood that it may be difficult to unearth, It is safe to assume that way back there when you were a very little girl something worried you. There was something in the family which you didn’t understand. Adults whispered, or spoke in riddles, or spelled out certain words when you were present, This happens to most children but in the majority of cases, as children grow older, they learn the explanation of those hinge which were mysteries in childhood and are able to dismiss the anxieties. which centered around them. Others, like yourself, are seized with a mania of doubt which extends into their adult life and spreads

itself over the little incidents of daily life which apparently are un-

connected with the original anxiety. The best thing you can do is to consult a psychiatrist able to help you unearth and shake off the childhood anxieties which are

with you still but which express themselves in disguised form. Life .

itself may cure you by presenting you with“one big major warry con nected with the elemental trio, rent, rations and raiment. .
