If '"Hubby' Has a Cast-Off Shirt, Don't Consign It to the Rag Bag

THE FATE OF A MAN'S SHIRT with frayed collar and cuffs used to be the rag bag But with fabric salvage and economy as prime objectives for the wartime front, many women are discovering that discarded male shirts can be transformed quickly into flattering dressmaker Blouses.

Beauties’ Hints—

By ALICIA HART Times Special Writer AMERICA EXPECTS 3,000,000 “blessed events” in 1043. But with the ever-increasing bumper crops of babies, there is an equally disturbing decrease in the number of doctors to tend them. And so mothers must learn to rely more and more on their own knowledge of what to do to keep their youngsters hale and hearty. During national baby week iast week there was a special program of lectures, forums, exhibits, displays and pamphlets to tell mothers of the newest developments in child health, psychology, food, nutrition and cleanliness.

CLEANLINESS, health experts insist, is the first requisite for a healthy baby. Infants, especially, are susceptible to, dust - caried germs, and their daily bath-—either at the beginning or end of the day— is the most important part of their care. x Young babies, like little Sally Ann, should be bathed in tepid water with a soft washcloth and a pure white mild soap which makes velvet suds and lathers easily. When it is thoroughly dried, the baby should be carefully powdered or oiled, and dressed in a fresh shirt. And not to defeat all your careful precautions against dust-carried
