To help her children main-

alert to the various factors
that help produce this ideal

Winter Hazards
It has been said that in winter
the body is on trial—and this is
as true of children
as of adults. Ex-
tremes of tempera-
ture require ad-
justments on the
part of the body,
and in most parts
of the country,
children are called
upon constantly to
switch their envi-
ronment from a
house which is all
too frequently over-
heated to an outdoor temperature
that may be below freezing.
While cool, outdoor air is

particularly true of those who
improperly nourished; who
over-fatigued or suffer from poor
circulation.
When it is very cold outdoors, it
is wise to have children come in
from their play periodically to
warm up. And if a child appears
to suffer from the cold unduly, it
is wise to have a physician check
up on his health.
Guard Against Frostbite
Over-exposure must be avoided,
particularly in cold, damp weath-
er. For under these conditions,
doctors warn, there is always a
danger of frostbite, They say that
whenever the temperature falls
below 8 degrees Fahrenheit, chil
dren should not be permitted to
play outdoors. If they do, the cold
may act upon the tissues so that
blood supply. This is most likely
to occur in the fingers, toes, nose
| or ears which thereupon become
frozen. The combination of wind
| and low temperature is especially
| dangerous and frostbite frequently
| occurs at temperatures up to 14
degrees Fahrenheit when there is
| a strong wind.
Mothers should be on guard
| against frostbite when the tem-
perature is below 24 degrees Fahr-
enheit, however, and at all times
during the winter, see that chil
dren are warmly clad. This need
not mean that they are so bundled
up as to preclude the possibility
of active play. Suitable clothing
consists of garments which pro
vide warmth and protection
against dampness, without
striction at any point.
Two layers of wool, such as
that provided by a woolen sweat-
er and playsuit are sidered
preferable to one too-bulky
ment. Feet and hands should, of
course, be well protected.

[HERE'S a practical, slenderiz-
ing dress that large women
will thoroughly enjoy for their
busiest days of housework. And
a trim little bolero frock that's
gay and fresh as a spring morn-
ing, just the thing for shopping,
business and general wear. They
are so easy to make that even be-
ginners will enjoy working with
these easy designs-—each of which
includes a step-by-step sew chart.
Comfortable House Dress.
This dress is so easy to make
that you'll turn out half a dozen
of it in practically no time; it's a
diagram design that you can com-
plete in a few hours. And it's
80 easy to work in that you won't
be satisfied with less than half a
dozen. Wide armholes, a darted
waistline that looks slim, a skirt
with sufficient width, all assure
freedom for action, It's easy to
put on, too, as well as to iron, be-
cause it buttons down the front.
Percale, calico and gingham are
good materials for this.
Tailored Bolero Dress.
Even without the sleeveless bo-
lero, this dress is a charming
style for runabout and street
wear. The darted waistline makes
you look slim and supple. A scal-
| loped closing, edged with braid or
| binding, and puff sleeves nar-
| rowed into the arm by shirring,
complete the effect of youthful
charm. Make this right now of
| flat crepe, silk print or thin wool.
{ Then repeat it later in summer
cottons; it's a design that you'll
use many, many times.

A Darning Hint.—When darning

way use two-ply skein wool.

tity, but not as to quality. For
example, a diet that is too highly
concentrated, too little
bulk or cellulose, may cause a
tendency to faulty elimination.
