THE CLOTHMAKER Are You A Breakfast Skipper? Many people find that the demands of a job, of everyday working, take so much out of them, they feel all useti up ijy me end 01 me clay. This is apt to be literally true, especially if they haven't had a good breakfast. In fact, four out of ten employees leave for work with no breakfast. And the figures about the amount of energy used up make it plain why that "all gone" feeling comes over these employees about eleven in the morning. It works something like this: When you get up in the morning, you've been without food for a good many hours. You're empty of food, which your body requires as fuel to keep you going besides the regular supply of \ liaiioiis iiiui iiiuiL-i ciia 11 needs everv day. And yet you are not likely to know it ?at least not the sense of feeling hungry. If you rush off to work on a substandard breakfast, you may seem to get along for a few hours. But sometime around midmorning the clock has a hardto-resist attraction for your eyes, and the hours seem to get longer and longer. Fortify yourself with the combination that insures against errors caused by fatigue: A good night's sleep and a really basic breakfast. GET THE HABIT Did you ever watch the movements of a real tall guy, six-foot-six or so? If so. you may have noticed that a man i of such heights almost always ducks his head when he goes through a doorway, oven if he has plenty of clearance. It's a habit, of course?a safety habit. The tall man has learned from probably painful experience that he'd better duck when he goes through a doorway or take a bang on the head. That safety habit saves him a lot of headaches. i In the same way, other i safetv habits, at work, at home, or on the road, will save us from injury or worse. What makes a good safety habit so important is that it protects us even when we're not particularly alert or thinking of the possible dangers around us. 1 i Lvuiyr is ine adugnicr or ivir. ' and Mis.

What is more enjoyable t h a n beautiful candles. There are many varieties you can buy but more pleasure can be derived from candles made by our own hands. Mrs. I). C). Freeman had such an idea and put it into practice. Below are pictures and directions for making candles in varied shapes and styles, which Mrs. Freeman has made. BELL CANDLE: Materials needed: 1 new candle, old melted candles, 1 jelly glass, knife, spoon, sequins, and ribbon. Melt candle ends, pour into jellv glass. Let set (may be placed in refrigerator).

FOR MOLDED CANDLES: Place mold in refrigerator until very cold ? then tap gently to release form. After each candle is done, dip it. one half at a time into container of melted wax for a smooth finished look. for further information and directions on making candles contact Mrs. I). O.
