When Buying Clothes,
Buy Them Big Enough
When buying clothes, buy them
big enough. It's better to buy a
dress a size larger and have it al-
tered to fit trimly and comfortably.
Any article of clothing should be
loose from the waist up. It should
fit comfortably, not plaster tight.
Clothes should not pull against the
chest, the diaphragm, or the back.
Money spent on expertly fitted
clothes is not wasted.
Drooping hem lines, sagging
seams, pull across the middle, or
hanging off shoulder seams can't
make a well-groomed appearance.
What about our skirt ‘length?
Straight' skirts should be longer be-

ly pull up when you sit down, and

skirts can be shorter because of the

the Benedictine order. It was the
product of a single Benedictine ab-
bey, Fecarnp, near Le Havre,
France, and was never made at
Monte Cassino. Its history is ro-
mantic. In 1510' a monk who dab-
bled in chemistry produced the
refreshing cordial. The monks

jungles of western Assam.
Domesticated, it has proved to be
a valuable "worker" in Italy, Tur--

Nile, and in the marshlands of Hun-
gary and Crimea. It is practically
indispensable in the flooded rice -
fields of the Orient where horses or
mules are seldom used for agricul-

Millions of these animals are kept.
in India for their milk and meat.

Infant Mortality
Switzerland had the lowest rate of
infant mortality in the world in 1942,
according to the Statistical Year-
book of the League of Nations for.
1941-42.
Switzerland's rate was 38 per 1,000
in 1942, a decrease of 3 per 1,000
,since 1941. Second were the Nethe
erlands, with a rate of 40 per 1,000,
and the United States, also with a.
rate of 40. Both countries showed
decreases since 1941. Rates of in-
fant mortality in other countries for
' 1942 were Union of South Africa, 48;

Tomato Seed 00
When crude tomato seed oil is re-
fined by the use of caustic soda,
bleached and decolorized, the oil is
entirely suitable for edible purposes.
In Italy the crude oil is used for

for stock feed or fertilizer. Johns
