OF INTEREST TO WOMEN When Is a Woman Happy? By Helen Rowland SOMETIMES I wonder if a woman Is EVER happy? Of course, sho COULD be happy. If she had anythin? to be happy about! For instance, I know a woman who would be "perfectly happy" if only she could lose about twenty pounds— And another who would be "perfectly happy" if only she could pet plump enough to wear decollette gowns! At five years old a little girl would be perfectly happy If only her father kept a candy store! At twelve, she thinks that she would be perfectly ljpppy If only she could wear long frocks, and do her hair on top of her head, and have a BEAU! At sixteen, she knows that she would be perfectly happy if only some fasci nating Prince Charming would fall in love with her. Or if ONLY she could go on the stage or Into the "movies" And be a Maude Adams or a Mary Bickford or a Mary Garden or a Theda Barra—or something! At twenty, she dreams rapturously that she will be perfectly happy When "they arc married" and living in their own little nest! At twenty-five she feels sure that she could be perfectly happy If only HE made a little more money and they could afford two maids and & car, perhaps! At thirty, she wonders If she might not have been happy If ONLY she had taken up a profession— It only she could paint or write or sing or "do SOMETHING worth while!" Or if only she had a vote or a divorce or a new limousine or red hear— Or a different Iplnd of husband! If she is wealthy, she feels that she could he perfeotly happy. If only she could "get away from it all" and live her own life" and «go back to nature"—and all that! If she Is poor, she is sure that she could be perfectly happy If only she had married some doting old millionaire With one tooth and the rheumaatlm! If she has nothing to do except manicure her nails. She believes that she would be perfectly huppy if only she could be "In the midst of things," DOING something interesting! If she is a busy woman, she feels that she would be perfectly happy It only she could He abed until noon und have her breakfast served to her on a tea wagon. If she lives In a small town, she Is sure that she would be perfectly happy If she lived in NEW YORK and knew a lot of "interesting people." And if she is a popular New Yorker, she knows that she would be perfectly happy If only she could "get away from It all" and "live her own life" and "go a nee In the world! If she's forty, she'd be perfectly happy "just to he twenty again." And if she Is sixty, she'd be perfectly happy "Just to be FORTY!" And when this terrible war is over and the allies have WON, And we have universal woman suffrage and the weather Is settled And the spring cleaning is finished and the millennium has come And strawberries are ripe In January, Of course, EVERY woman will bo "perfectly HAPPY forever and ever!" Oh, of course, of course! I'm a WOMAN—and I ought to know! Milk Its Value as Food Often Is Underestimated. Economy in the diet does not always depend upon limiting the use of cer ■ tain foods but it is sometimes a ques tion of actually in creasing the use of foods 'which fur nish nutritive ma terial at relatively low cost. Milk belongs to the latter class, and the housewife would do well to study Its food value and decide whether her family is using as much as it should, in spite of in creasing prices. Many people think of milk only os a beverage, but if they understood that it In reality is a nourishing food, they would Increase their daily allow ance and cut down on other relative ly more expensive foods. We eat foods for two main reasons: First, to renew body wastes and pro mote growth by forming new tissues and fluids, and second, to supply ener gy for carrying on body functions. Milk contains the body building ma terials (protein and mineral substan ces, such as lime and phosphorus), and also materials necessary for body energy. In comparing foods it is necessary to consider both the protein and the energy furnished. Neither one alone can properly be used os a basis of comparison, nor Is there any way to reckon, correctly, the value of a food by considering the total anu|nt of nu tritive elements. W It is also very difficult to compare foods on the basis of the mineral mat ter they contain, but all physiologists agree that milk is extremely valuable from this standpoint. In fact, it is the food prepared by nature, especially for the growth and development of the young. Flaxsssd. W. R. writes: "I have heard that flaxseed is a good remedy for consti pation. How should it be taken and when?" Take one or two tablespoonfuls of the whole seed with a breakfast food each morning. WHY?

Alkali in Soap Bad for the Hair Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking it* best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. Th!« dries, the scalp, make« the hair brittle, and ruin« it. The best thing for Bteady use is just ordinary mulstfied cocoanut oil (which is,pure and gresseless), and is better than the most expensive soap or any thing else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair line and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulslfied cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every member ot the family for months. 8* 3 t\ \ / cr » t ays displays ^ teach a climax or siyle correctness and attractiveness THE MOST COMPLETE Spring Showing of Easter and Early Spring Modes in HATS, SUITS, DRESSES, SKIRTS, BLOUSES, COATS and ACCESSORIES - for - Women, Misses and Children We invite your early inspection while our stocks are at their best.
