Homemaking— A Grandmother Suggests Adult's Clothes Be. Made Over for Children

Room Can

“When I was a girl,” a grandmother writes, “we never thought|: of throwing away a piece of woolen material until it. was really worn

children inherited them from older ones.

over for children, and then smaller Now that we're going to have

to get along on less wool in this country, why not say a few words about ‘what can be done with all the grownups’ coats that will see their last

season of wear this spring?”

That's not only a good suggestion

-—it’s a patriotic duty. With war ‘cutting off our imports of wool, and with needs of our armed forces making heavy demands on the do- ~ mestic supply, it’s going to be up ~ to the rest of us to cut down our needs for new wool as much as we \ can. This means we're going to | have to wear every scrap of wool we have until there just isn't any more wear in it. And so, if you have a grownup’s ‘oat that is out of style or worn "around the cuffs, and you are sure it can’t be renovated for continued ‘use, you can probably remake it _ for your small son or daughter. "The old coat must be carefully © ripped, the material cleaned and pressed, and, if possible, turned. _ The selection of a reliable pattern is important in making a coat of good design, of the right fit, and of a style suited both to the material and the use to which you're going to put the coat.

This is no way to improve the situation. If you really want to work it out you will have to do some of the talking yourself and choose subjects that tune in with his interests. I am afraid you want love to be given to you as it is given to a child. But you aren’t a child any more and you'll have to find a way to bring forth the response you want. A smart woman soon discovers what elicits a show of affection from her husband and bends her efforts in this direction. To beg for love is useless. It is more fruitful to work for it. JANE JORDAN.

YOUR HEALTH

By JANE STAFFORD Science Service Writer THE FAMILY MEDICINE CHEST should not be neglected during your spring housecleaning. This also applies to the medicine chests of bachelors and career girls, or to the box or -shelf where they keep medical

and first aid supplies. First rule about medicine chests is keep poisons out of it. This is a safety measure. The highest shelf in the chest may be out of reach of children, but it is not out of the reach of an adult who in the middle of the night sleepily reaches for a bottle of, say, cough medicine and who may not notice that he is giving or taking a dose from the bottle containing poison instead. If you must keep poison in the house, keep it in a special place where it will not be taken by mistake, and tie the cover on with double-knotted string so as to make opening the bottle difficult enough to make even the sleepy or hurried person look closely at it and notice what it is.

of iodine, may become too strong as a result of evaporation of the water or alcohol solvent, and others may deteriorate in other ways. Besides, if medicines are not thrown away when you have stopped using them, there is a dangerous temptation, next time you feel ill, to take some more of what helped the last time, without first consulting a vhysician to see whether you are suffering from the same ailment or from a different one that may require entirely different treatment.

Outside of tooth pastes and powders and similar toilet articles, the strictly medical preparations for the medicine chest should be selected with the guidance of a physician. Boric acid, vaseline, a good burn ointment and aromatic spirits of ammonia are generally considered good standbys. Adhesive tape and

dages might also have a place in the medicine chest. Remember that after the wrapper on the package is broken, the gauze is no longer sterile or germ-free.

THESE DEFENSE TOOLS

Stands for VISION, Too!

Because men can work no better nor faster than they

can see, the eyesight of “production soldiers” must be conserved. There is no spare vision for replacement from the stockroom if strain and overtime take their toll. From the laboratories of illumination research has come the scientific light conditioning that protects precious eyes at work, of at home in hours of relaxation.

LIGHT CONDITIONING Helps Prevent Eyestrain That Leads to Defective Vision, . Fatigue and Reduced Production

Ohat Can't Be RKeplac d!/ 3

Reddy Kilowatt, your Electric servant, stands guard over the vision so vital to Victory. Tests have shown that properlydesigned lighting helps prevent eyestrain that in turn causes increased nervous tension, fatigue and production “slow-up.”

Production managers and housewives

have an equal responsibility to see that wherever and whenever eyes are used for . working, studying or reading, the light is right to protect sight and conserve energy. It’s efficient operation and good economy to remember that eyes are priceless, but Electric light is cheap.
