BOUCH1!Z Despite the presence of hundreds of fashion maga- zines, none can compare with the wonderful fashion parade that takes place every afternoon on day- time TV. By simply tuning in any timebetween the hours of noon and 4, one can get not only a clear picture of the latest fash- ions but also learn how to achieve a whole variety of different looks. Beautiful actress Taylor Miller, who portrays the delicate Nina Cortland on "All My Children" is one of those best -dressed ladies you can see every day. And following her fashion style can have you lookiag like a star in no time! Most of the clothes worn by Taylor on the show are from the best designers around, including Ralph Lauren and Albert Nippon and she truly enjoys going to work and getting "dressed up" every day. Says Taylor, "Playing this part is really fun ... I get a chance to wear all those classic expensive outfits and get the feel of really nice clothes." The former fashion model's personal wardrobe is far more diversified, however, running the gamut from the kinds of things you see her in on the show to "funky fun clothes, like balloon pants and me- tallic headbands."

Follow her style and look like a star from designer dresses to designer jeans, Taylor lim- its her diet to lots of fruits and vegetables plus some chicken and fish, and she rarely eats red meat. "I used to do a lot of di- eting," Taylor confesses, "but I found that my ener- gy level was getting really low. I went to see a nutri- tionist and now I take spe- cific vitamins, plus I had to cut coffee and sugar out of my diet completely ... the two things I love the most! But I must admit I do feel better now." An important part of looking good means taking care of your skin, and Tay- lor uses a special routine to make sure hers remains glowing and healthy. "I was having a lot of trouble with my skin, most- ly because of the heavy makeup we have- to wear for television," she says. "Mt face was breaking out and I kept thinking it was oily, so I tried to dry it out. As it turns out, my problems were because my skin was too dry." Taylorwent to a skin care expert who provided her with a special morning and evening cleansing and moisturizing routine. "In the morning, I first use an oily cleanser and then splash my face with very hot water. Your face can tolerate much hotter water than your hands," says Taylor. "So it's im- portant that the water be as hot as you can stand it. Next I use a facial wash, followed by 30 more splashes of water." Taylor's final steps in- clude an astringent and then a water-based founda- tion. In the evening she sub- stitutes a moisturizer for the astringent and applies the same water-based foundation before going to bed.

By DIANE SAVAGE As you walk down long, narrow aisles, containers of exotic chemicals tower above you on each side. Such sinister -sounding ti- tles as aeetylated'monogly- .eeride, sodium silico alu- minate and propylene glycol are inscribed on the label of one of these mix- tures. ' Are you inspecting a chemistry lab's shelf stock? No — it may seem that way but actually you are reading several of the ingredients on the contain- er of a non-dairy whipped topping. Along with the ad- ditives mentioned, include monostearate, sodium caseinate, hydroxylated lecithin, artificial flavor and BHA, and the list gets pretty frightening. Not all of these ingredients are harmful or cancer-causing, but some, like BHA, are highly questionable. Aside from the cost fac- tor, processing comprom- ises taste and there is a definite health risk in addi- tive consumption over any period of time. Processing is a game of consumer de- ception; a dangerous game when health is at stake. Those pyramids of shiny, bright -colored oranges in the produce section are dyed and waxed to match our mental conception, shaped • by advertisers, of what "good oranges" should look like. Artificial colors, used purely for cosmetic reasons, report- edly may cause hyperac- tivity in some children. Even when a label states "natural color" this does not mean that the product retains its natural appear- ance. Natural color refers to the use of natural color- ings, such as grape s , ' or paprika. Even on a meatless iet, precautions should be taken to obtain maximum nutrition as well as tasty meals. One would do well to avoid processed foods altogether, and enjoy a happier and healthier body 1 or IL The following recipes, from Marian Burros' book, "Pure and Simple: Deli- cious Recipes for Additive- Free Cooking," give you a start in the right direction.

His name is Trevor Bridle and he works out of what's called the Wastewater Tech- nology Centre in Burlington. Right next door to his la oratory is Burlington's se age treatment plant. So he has Tots to work with. Trevor and his team of technicians use a relatively simple system to convert the filthy stuff into valuable filthy stuff. They heat sew- age sludge to a temperature of 300 Celsius in a small oxy- gen -free furnace. After about an hour, oil begins to flow out from a tube across to a beaker. What remains in the furnace is coal. It sounds too good to be true. But it's as simple as that. A concoction that looks worse than a witches' brew goes in and energy -giving oil and coal come out. Bridle and his associates are pretty excited about it all. And that's understand- able when you consider that it costs Canadians about $100 million a year to dispose of "Basically," says Trevor, "we're just imitating Nature. Oil and coal were formed over centuries in the Earth's crust under great pressure with no oxygen around." The poTmercial applica- tion is obvious. Coal would be used to heat the sludge in a merry-go-round operation. The next step is to get a pilot project going. Meanwhile,Bridle and his associates are savoring the first flush of success.
