Women Who Take on War Work
~ Must Streamline Household Jobs .
THE ADDITION OF A WAR JOB to the regular responsibilities of caring for a home and family is making everybody do double duty these days. It’s no easy matter to keep a house and contribute time to the
“war effort, too. But it can and ust be done. The whole trick liés in
Streamlining your household to fit in with the new mode of life.
The first problem, in doing double work
You've got to plan and budget your time as carefully and with as .much respect as you budget your imoney. A few hours a day, now, may be all you can spare.
The fine furor of old-fashioned A housekeeping 1s a luxury today. You've got to make compromises—
. without sacrificing the rules of housekeeping that you've struggled ‘0 maintain since you first started chat job in life. The only way to do by that is to give serious consideration to short cuts, time and step savers, work simplifiers, : But you've got to make some. con- ; cessions for the emergency. - There are some things that simply can’t be done as often or as thor- ~~ oughly as you used to do them. What you've got to be certain of is that you make the judicious choice of what must be done and what can be skipped over lightly. Furniture and silver may not be polished as often as they were before the war. Floors may not be waxed as frequently. Bookshelves ‘may not be dusted once a week. But ‘even though your house may not be as bright and shiny as it was during pre-war days, try to keep it orderly, attractive and restful.

a few hours a day, youll find
you get your time schedule down in black and white. Plan a written schedule that fits your own
particular needs, and keep it flexible so that it can be adjusted to any new changes that may come up in your plan of living. :
keeping routine and give each person the responsibility for one. particular job. A good executive shares work—and members of your family will be eager to do their share if
can help. Streamline your household to make housework easier for you and your family during wartime. Take a look around your living room. There are probably any number of dust-catching. and hard-to-clean unessentials staring you in the face. If the room is crowded with unnecessary furniture, this is a good time—and you've got a good excuse—to throw it out. The less cluttered a place is, the easier it is to keep clean. That's a principle that holds frue in every room in the house.

Planning the Meals RUNNING A HOUSEHOLD streamlined fashion means that you've got to plan cooking and serving as well as cleaning with an idea to saving your time and energy. Plan your meals at least two or three days in advance, even a week ahead when possible. This will greatly simplify your marketing problems.
find it a great time saver if you concentrate on two types of dishes . ‘se » those quickly prepared and cooked just before dinner or those that can be made ready the night before. There are many dishes that can be partly cooked one day, placed in the refrigerator and “done to a turn” just before serving the next night. : A stew, fricassee or even a pot roast can be handled this way. Partially cook them while you're getting dinner one night and the next night your job will be less time-consuming and much easier on you! ”
Don't Sacrifice Essentials!
BUT TAKE precautions, always, when - you're : cutting corners in housework not to pass lightly over the things that must be done, Meals must be balanced and tastefully prepared. Simple, yes, but
good nutrition. © But make certain that you really know how to pre-
> pare the simple dishes.
Coffee, for example, is the easiest thing in the world to make properly—if you take care to measure accurately and use clean utensils. But some people try to cut corners in coffee making. They’ll ignore advice about keeping the coffee maker absolutely spotless and won't
take time to, measure carefully.

THE GIRL WHO not only listens but looks interested in what her partner has to say, finds plenty of young men wanting to cut in on her all evening long, “That doesn’t mean a girl has to be perennially stricken speechless,” Mrs. Moore wants it understood.; “But knowing how to listen intelligently and keep the conversation going will make her much more popular than ‘trying to command and force the conversation,”
Cut in Non-Essential Cleaning Asked

another, The marriage lasted only a short time. He claims that he tried to see you while home on a furlough and no doubt he did, but I don’t think he tried very hard. If seeing you had meant as much to him as he says he would have found you somehow or other. But he didn’t. Actually I don’t think you can rely on the boy's word. I don't think he can rely on himself. At least wait until he gets his life straightened out before you see him again. I think he is too unsettled at this point to be satiffactory from any standpoint, ® = = : DEAR JANE JORDAN--I am a girl of 23. I have been going with a boy for nine months and I have fallen in love with him. He says that he loves me. He met another girl and has had four dates with her. He said that he liked her buf still wants to go with me, too. He is in the service. We had a misunderstanding over a telephone call and now he says that he is going to marry the other girl ~ I want to know if he is doing this for spite. or if he really thinks enough of her to marry her? Dao you think that we will ever get together again as we were before he ever met this girl? BOOTS.
Answer—I have no way of know-
ling what the boy thinks or feels.
Perhaps he told you he was engaged to her. in order to arouse your Jealousy. I don’t know. Why don’t you simply sit tight and do nothing while you wait for him to make the next move? ! If he is not sincerely in love with the other girl, and I don’t see how he could be if he only has had four dates with her, he will come back. If he doesn’t, don’t let it worry you. You certainly don’t want a boy who has fallen in love with someone else. After all you can make another adjustment, too. JANE JORDAN. Put’ your problems in a letter to Jane

(Guarding Baby
From Catching Diseases .
By JANE STAFFORD Science Service Writer : MOST BABIES ARE well when they are born. Keeping them that way involves, among other things, protecting them from .‘“catching” diseases, such as colds, sr a measles, whooping cough, dipht : smallpox and all the rest. 3 For some of these diseases, fore tunately, it is now possible to give baby resistance to the special germs that cause the diseases. This is done by vaccination and immunize tion, procedures which stimulate production in the baby's body of special substances that can counters act invading disease germs or their poisons. : Baby can be given this kind of protection against diphtheria and. smallpox. He should have the diphtheria protection when he is 9 months old and the smallpox vace cination before he is one year old, Most doctors and health authorities now also advise giving him _ such protection by immunization against whooping cough and tetanus, or lock jaw. / ® 8 8 GUARDING BABY against dise eases like colds, measles, pneumonia, mumps and so on, for which there is as yet no special protective vace cination, requires keeping him away Even the person who has only a cough or slight cold should be kept away from the baby, because if the small baby catches the cough or cold .i¢ may develop into pneumonia, ; Then, too, a cough or cold in & child or grownup may be the béginning symptom of some other serious sickness. If baby’s mother or nurse has a cold, it may be wise for her to wear a face mask when she bathes, feeds, dresses or other wise handles baby, s6 the germs in her breath will not get to the baby, Keep flies, mosquitoes ‘and other insects away from baby and his food and water. These insects can and very often do carry dangerous dis ease germs. Boll baby’s drinking water, bottles and nipples. If he gets cow's milk, that also should be boiled. The doctor will advise mother about this and about cooke ing baby’s food, other than fruit juices. Never take a baby into crowded places such as stores and theaters, There is too great a chance of his catching some ‘sickness from other people.
