Shower Curtains Should Be Given Frequent Séap and Water Cleansings

‘WHEN WHITE DUCK SHOWER CURTAINS were the only ones available, the good home-maker put them in the wash with great regularity and a ¢lean curtain was part of the bathroom equipment. With the introduction of colors, oil silk, coated fabrics, chemically treated splash-resistant fabrics, and rubber coated fabrics, shower curtains ‘became much more decorative, but alas, not always as spotless es the old white duck curtain of yesterday.

DEAR JANE JORDAN — About five years ago a friend and myself were with a group of children in the neighborhood and my {friend told a joke. The children told their parents who blamed me for the joke which I did not tell. It so ‘happened that the children told some jokes, too, only they did not mention this to their parents, and

EVERYONE IS WORKING harder because of the war. We all know how important it is to keep up production at home for our fighters at the front. But in striving for speed and volume, we all tend to grow tired, “jittery,” and worn out at the end of the day. To tell a tired man to exercise is not as silly as it sounds. Muscular exercise frequently relieves fatigue. When we are working hard at a job there is unconscious stiffening of the muscles, particularly if we use the same muscle groups over
