The Brussels Post, 1943-1-27, Page 2NOW WE RECOMMEND ALL -BRAN TO ALL OUR FRIENDS Says Mrs. Joseph Pare, Montreal, Quebec: "I find KELLOGG'S ALL - DEAN much more satisfactory than pills or powders. Nearly all our family suffered from constipation. Our friends suggested pills and powders, but relief was only tem- porary. Now we eat ALL -BEAN regaled?, and recommend it to our friends." Instead of waiting until you suffer and then dosing yourself with harsh purgatives, try ALL -BRAN'S "fetter Way" to correct t119 cause of constipation due to the lack of the right kind of "built" in the diet. Eat it daily and drink plenty of water, but remember, ALL -BRAN doesn't work like a cathartic; it takes time. ALL -BRAN is sold at your grocer's in two convenient size packages; at restaurants in indi- vidual serving packages. Made by Kellogg's in London, Canada. • SERIAL STORY OF BR GHTNESS G N BY HOLLY WATTERSON THE STORY: Peter Frazier and Martin Corby, last -year medi- cal students, are trying for ap- pointments at fashionable Good Samaritan Hospital. Martin is engaged to Peter's. step -cousin, Candace Bech, a student nurse. whom*Peter also loves. The two students attend a reception for prospective interns given by the hospital board chairman and his wife. There they meet Faith Hartshorne, their hosts' daughter. Martin, selfishly ambitious, sees in the girl a chance for advance- ment and social prestige. a s FIRST DECEPTION CHAPTER XII Going home in the train Mar- tin chuckled. "You missed some- thing, Pete. Boy, is that Harts- horne kid serious! She writes poetry, all about love and death and eternity. It seems she de- veloped Potts disease when she was 5 or so and had to spend several years on a frame. She's all right now, but I suppose she had to be alone so much that that's the reason for all these deep) thoughts and stuff. Anyway, the sun rises and sets in her as far as Papa and Marna are concerned, and she can have anything she wants — except, maybe, enough solitude to suit her; Mania makes her go out and do things; site would prefer her to be a .social butterfly, I gather." Peter was thinking of his brief talk with Dr. Patterson. Dr. Pat- terson was also professor of sur- gery at the Medical College; Peter had been several times in his classes and -had a slight chatting acquaintance with hien. He had seen Peter standing alone at the window and had noddedfor hint to come over. "You're looking pretty grim, lad. Not liking this too much?" Peter flushed, "Not much, sir," he admitted. "Why?" Dr. Patterson asked. His eyes were twinkling, "Do you begrudge the ladies their small social pleasures?" "I don't see what this sort of thing has to do with getting an appointment, sir. I don't see where it has any place in the practice of medicine." "Don't you?" Dr. Patterson said, "But you'll admit, won't you; that the relationship of any one of these ladies to her physici- an is much more intimate than to that of any man—we trustl— she meets, excepting her husband? The 'laying on of hands and all that, you know. What about when they need a physician? Haven't these ladies who are so particular about other things, the right to be particular about that too?" - Peter knew -he was being rib - British Sailors' Society The Wertd'n Oldest Sailor Welfare Organization Founded 1015—Soon After Trafalgar Operates in over one hundred Sailor InstitUtee, Clubs, Eavens, ALL OVER PRE SEVEN SEAS In days like these earnestly appeals for help Further Information gladly sUpplicd G.

Dr. Patterson said more grave- ly, patting his shoulder, "It doesn't really matter, Frazier. We humor the ladies. And for so doing we enjoy better equipment than many hospitals, we have more money to work with and therefore we are enabled to do more and better work—" That they did do excellent . work Peter knew. He thought, chastened, if my appointment is okayed I'll jump at it and be thankful for the chance... 0- 0 >t It was about a week later that Faith Hartshorne phoned Martin. Ile was alone at the time, do- ing some heavy studying because he hadn't been giving his work all the attention it should have and there was an exam due to come up soon. Mrs. Prosser shouted to him from the foot of - the stairs and he ran down wide - legged, taking the steps two and three in each stride, to -grab up the receiver dangling from. the eoin-box telephone. "This is Faith Hartshorne," she said. Her voice sounded thin and. girlish over the phone, and a little uncertain. She was in town with her father and mother to attend a broadcast, the first in a new series her father's company was sponsoring. -It was business for her father, and for her mother, too, really; and she wondered if he wouldn't like to meet then all for dinner and: come along later to take the curse off it for her? "I want to thank you about Gos- sip, anyway." Martin said, "I don't see how I can," too surprised even to sound regretful. She said, "I was afraid you wouldn't be able to make it, such short notice and all— Her voice sounded .stiff, and maybe a little hurt, and he was immediately sorry—and alarmed. The Hartsliornes asking him — him, a nobody medical student!— to dinner and things, and he had - the crust to refuse!' He said quickly, "I was think- ing of a bit of cramming I have to do. I' can let that go, though, and do it tomorrow night." Sure he could. He had a date with Candace, but sherd under- stand about the studying. After an, this was business for him too. They had dinner at a hotel whose stately portals Martin had passed only on the outside here- tofore, and afterward at tine broadcast they -sat in the spon- - sor's box, among the mighty. There were moments when Mar- tin could feel himself expanding with sheer physical pleasure, yet be had never passed a more nn- confortable evening in his life. He was not sure that he was really wanted, in the first place, Mrs. Hartshorne said playfully of her daughter, apropos practically nothing at all, "Faith is a willful little girl, a very willful little girl," in a way that seemed to . mean that perhaps Faith had overridden her parents' objec- tions in having him there at all. And Old Man Hartshorne seemed to have hint under a microscope, studying him, The pointed questions about his family, put in a tone of easy geniality, "What . part of the country do you come from, Son?

He thoaght, furious, I'd like to give him both barrels, 1'd like to let hila have it, I'd like to admit that my Old Man's no good, that he's poor white trash, too no -account to do anything but sit on itis hunkers and talk big and envy guys on relief while my mother works like a man and two horses to keep the farm going and a roof over the kids' heads and so I can have a chance to Be Something. But he couldn't afford that, he couldn't afford the luxury of be- ing frank. With a careful choice of the right word and a playful turn of phrase his father emerged under his word painting as per- haps a Micawber but a cheerfully valiant one, the farm as an effort at a miniature Utopia where things sometimes went wrong, but always in a side-splittingly funny way. Though he didn't know it, he had been at his best, The sharp changes in mood reflected in his expressive face combined with his really good voice to give his story some of the quality of a play: his underlying feeling of contempt lent to the performance an en' gaging air of devil-may-care. A warm smile coming on the heels of it was the final undoing of Faith Hartshorne; it reduced her to a sudden gasping tender- ness. Her eyes fell in momentary confusion, then lifted again to his —and he was astounded by the unmistakable look of worship he saw in them. Mr. Hartshorne, too, was com- pletely won. Chuckling still over the last of the droll episodes Mar- tin had related, he said, "That's what I like, a man not ashamed of humble beginnings. Take me, for instance—" But his wife was not as proud of humble beginnings as he him- self was; she. managed to side- track him effectively. Site had had quite 'enough of them and for that reason she would have preferred that this boy's people might be a bit more substantial, less "droll' and "amusing." . Though it did not really matter, she thought resignedly, if only Faith got what she wanted. If only Faith were, happy. Martin had to phone Candace the next day and cancel their en- gagement for that evening. They had planned to see a particular movie and he knew that she had been looking forward to it and must be bitterly disappointed; but she said cheerfully, "There's al- ways next tithe. Of course study Hurst come first." He didn't mention anything about the Hartshornes. For he had decided that after all you can't tell a girl, no natter how regular she is, that you're break- ing a date with her because, in- stead of studying the night be- fore, you were out with another .girl. Pointers On Making _ Sheets Last Losgerr Making sheets last longer be- comes the duty of every wartime household. For this reason Con- sumer Information Service has, suggested a number of ways to extend their wear. Sheets should be washed as 'soon as possible after use. Oils and acids on the skin's surface will shorten the life of sheets. All traces of soap should be rinsed out completely, Also they should not be subjected to strong, caustic bleaches, They should be dried evenly without pulling. In Ironing too hot an iron should be avoided, and care should be taken that the folds are not pressed at all, As a matter of fact to save electric power and time it is better to press only the top three or four , feet. Beds should be made properly. Edges smoothed under the mat- tress get less abrasive wear than bunched -under edges. The y should also not be yanked -off the bed, but should be loosened first. A mattress pad between the sheet and mattress will lengthen the sheet's life. Sheets should never be used to bundle up the weekly washing. That's what laundry bags are for. Sailors of Empire Meet In Loiridon For over a century the Sailors of the Empire and 'their friends have been invited by the Lord Mayor of London to meet with him at the Mansion House. The. 128rd Annual Meeting Was held there recently, The Lord Mayor, in keeping with all the . dignity and bearing of his high and anoi, ent office presided and was sup- ported by a distinguished Com- pany, The Rt, Hon, Sir Frederielt Sykes, the Honorary 'Treasurer of the Society, referred to the heavy expenditure involved in the war commilmcefe of the Soeioty'and the obligations resCing on the Society, which would have to be ROYAL SISTERS OF EGYPT Attractive daughters of the Nilo are Princesses Ferial, 4, and Fawzia, 3, children of King Farouk and Queen Farida of Egypt. met after the war, for the rein- statement of many of the prop- erties that have been rented or requisitioned and adapted to meet the present needs. These obliga- tions made it of importance that sufficient of the funds should be reserved to provide what -may be required, and Sir Frederick urged the supporters of the Society to have the suggestion moth mind. In a cordial reference to the generosity and valuable hon oraly services of `the friends of the Society, he mentioned speci- ally The British War. Relief Soci- ety of the U.S.A., the Merchant Navy Fund of Capetown, and the Canadian Red Cross Society. Mustard. Poultice On Paper Napkin Where illness has developed which requires the application of mustard poultices, an excellent method is to spread the mustard mixture on a thin paper table nap- kin. Put a second one over the mustard and put them between a folded piece of cheesecloth or thin flannel or cotton. After the poul- tice is removed, the paper con- taining it can be thrown away, and it is a simple matter to wash out the covering cloth so it can be used again and again. To make the poultice, mix two , or more tablespoons of flour to one of mustard, with enough water to forst a smooth paste. Spread it over the paper napkin - to form a six by eight -inch rec- tangle, and after greasing the skin with vaseline, leave the poul- tice on the chest, back, or what- ever part of the body is in pain or congested, for 10 to 20 min- utes until the skin turns a deep pink color. Mustard is very effec- tive when used as a poultice, and this is the most convenient way to prepare one.

More vegetables on the table mean fewer medicine bottles in the cupboard. The best tonic's come from such simple cheap vegetables as, spinach, carrots, beet greens, dandelion greens, beans, chard, potatoes, etc. The best laxatives also come from these sources. Vegetables are rich in the substances which we need for good teeth, good blood and for regulating the activity of tate body. Vegetables also furnish the bulk which is necessary for the healthy regular action of the intestinal tract. The very common statement; that "potatoes are all starch" is not true. Because they can be eaten in fairly large quantities; they furnish the body with con- siderable iron and they also pro- vide one of the important regu- lating materials necessary for re- sistance to disease, for growth, for healthy gums and strong bones. Tomatoes also provide this same regulating substance. In the spring, when old vege- tables are very poor in quality and new ones are expensive it is better to buy canned varieties such as peas, beans, corn and beets. Let us watch Mrs, Economy and Mrs. Extravagance go shopping • for 50 cents worth of fresh vege- tables in early winter. Mrs. Economy shops around and decides that carrots, cabbage and turnips will give the biggest return for her money. - Mrs. Extravagance sees some tomatoes and decides to have to- mato sandwiches instead of both- ering to cook a meal. Mrs. Economy 1 can tomatoes 12e 4 lbs. carrots 8c 4 lbs. cabbage (2 small) 100 30e Mrs. Extravagance 1 lb. tomatoes 30e 80e Mrs. Economy obtained: 20 tines the energy value, 11 times the material for re- pair and muscle building, 40 times the amount of mineral needed for strong teeth and bones, L' times the amount of min- eral needed for blood building. Many people do not like vege- tables because they are frequently poorly prepared. Here are some of the reasons why the children,: refuse one of the most importants and valuable foods in the diet: 1. Overcooking — this ruins flavor and appearance and makes the vegetables soggy, mushy, or otherwise unpleasant in texture. 2. Poor seasoning — lack of seasoning frequently makes vege- tables flat in taste. 3. Lack of care in preparation —thorough cleaning, careful par- ing and careful slicing or cutting make the vegetables more attrac- Mr five. s, Extravagance's children do not like many of the common vegetables.

Don't Turn Rayon Hosiery While Wet The importance of handling rayon stockings gently when washing them is reflected in the advice of hosiery experts who warn against turning Ilieni inhide out while wet. Rayon is known to lose much of its strength in water. Doily washing in a mild, tepid suds eliminates the necessity for rub- bing. After several rinses mole - tura should be removed by wrap- ping in a towel, then hanging to dry for 48 hours away stein direct heat or sunlight. Cotton feet and welt on rayon legs are recommended as good combinations for durability. Aarn- ing thin spots before the threads break will also prolong wear. Germany's Most Precious Treasure The German Ariny newspaper Die Vdehrmacht, describing the formation 3% years ago of a "very special battalion" of ;the German army, consisting of lIkir- ed men Front all branches, equip- ped with the finest weapons, said, according to a British'broodesst: "The very special job of this battalion is to guard from alt dangers the most precious treas- ure the German people possess." The treasure, the paper said, is Adolf Hitler. Britons Get One Egg Each Month Fresh eggs, as rare as sirloin steaks, return to ordinary Con- sumers this month on at least a token basis. Ordinary consum- ers will get one fresh egg a month. Priority classes, inch#ding nursing mothers, invalids and in- fants, will get 12 a month. Pow- dered egg rations remain 12 a person monthly. The cheese allotment was cut from eight to six ounces weekly.
