Learn Makeup And Be Confident Harry Conover, beauty expert, believes that all women who wish to find happiness should learn the art of makeup, carefully and beautifully executed. Cosmetics should be chosen with the same proper selection and care that a woman would use in selecting her job, her food or her companions. The best cosmetics, however, cannot combat muddy skin or dull eyes caused by insufficient sleep, improper diet lack of sufficient drinking water. Mr.

Conover's advice to every woman is to keep her skin clean at all times, cleansing it several times a day. Careful makeup and the best of complexions can be ruined in a very few hours by city grime and dust. Any girl measuring up to Mr. Conover's "three B's" yardstickbeauty, brains and breeding -will realize that there is only one Claudette Colbert and only one Myrna Loy. Administer Cod Liver To Child Gently Cod liver oil when introduced early in infancy can be given to a child by spoon without difficulty if certain precautions are observed, according to Dr.

Harry Bakwin, associate professor of pediatrics at New York University. In a recent talk on infant training Dr. Bakwin declared that the spoon should be placed between the infant's lip and the handle tilted upward so the oil can be sucked off the spoon. Difficulties arise when mother pushes the spoon into the infant's mouth and pours the oil down the pharynx. In this case it is not the oil to which the child objects, Dr.

Bakwin said, but the method of administration. All new foods and medicines should be given to the child wth a pleasant expression. At three months or even earlier, Dr. Bakwin declared, infants are responsive to the facial expression of their attendants. They smile when smiled at and it is reasonable to suppose their smiles are accompanied by a pleasurable emotion.

Most persons would choose a leg as the "meatiest" part, but the breasts of a turkey have more meat than the legs, says the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The breast meat of a high-quality, fat, dressed turkey makes up almost a fifth of the whole bird and the leg meat slightly less.

The chief thing to look for in picking out a dressed turkey is a broad, meaty breast. Poultry breeders at the Beltsville Research Center of the department are mating birds to develop strains of turkeys with broader breasts.
