BLANG BECOMES LXTEBAL TRUTH

“No soap!" isn't just a slang ex- pression.

Housewives for some time have been complaining about the lack of soup flakes and laundry soap, but a new quirk has been develop- ing the last week or so. Not only are there no soap flakes. soap pow- ders. scalp chips and soap for ivash- ing out the family lines, but now ordinary soap for washing hands

Housewives are reportedly com- pletely stymied now. Some of ‘thcm caught onto the knack of cutting shavings from bar soap for wash- ing out their silks and rayons. It was a lot of work but it did ill-lp. If there's no blr soap either, they're wondering if they're lrehnc to have to save their own fats and ashes and make some of their own.

MODERATION aasr

While admitting the comforting effect of smoking on adults ac- customed to it. health authorities condemn excessive smoking. This, they point out. can cause a tiresome chronic cough and catarrh, and will have a detrimental effect on endurance by making the heart irritable, with consequent onset of fatigue. Moderation is advised in smoking as in all activities.

An adequate protein diet will

cut down the time necessary. for convalescence after illness.

When you are serving potato chips. pour them from the bag into a pan and place in the oven for about five minutes. The chi-gs will then be extra crisp and delicious. The same applies to ready-to-eat cereals.

That was the pat- ter of raindrops against the pane "I wonder" he asked himself "when the moon shifts".
