How To Steep
When You're
All Keyed Up
The best cure for nervousness,
doctors advise, is plenty of sleep
and relaxation. A wiw prescrip-
tion, yonll agree. But how do
you GET to sleep when you're up
emotionally ?
Tossing and turning, mulling ov-
er your personal pr«blpms ;i"*l
often these of the entire world,
you lie awake for what seems like
hours. Finally, you drop off
through almost sheer exhaustion.
In the morning, you awaken tired,
irritable, and—yes—as nervous as
before, if not more so.
Except for sleeping pills and
other sedatives (which should be
taken only in extreme cases under
your physician's direction), there's
no sure-fire ticket to dreamland.
However, there is a "travel plan"
that outmodes counting sheep.
First, start, the water for a nice,
. tepid bath—not hot, but just warm
enough to be soothing and comfort-
able. While the water is splashing
into the tub, sro into your bedroom
and make a thorough check.
See that the bed linens are fresh
and clean and that the bed is tight-
ly made with the corners tucked in
snugly. A clean, smooth, comfy
bed feels ever so relaxing after a
warm bath. Remember, though,
that the condition of your mat-
tress, bedsprrng, and pillow fs im-
portant, too. If they are worn
(lumpy, droopy, or sagging), they
should be replaced at the first op-
portunity or youH never get a
really good night's rest.
If your stomach has a hollow
feeling, have a light snack. But
keep it light! Warm milk or tea
with a small sandwich or some
cookies is preferable. Digestive
processes draw the blood into your
internal organs and away from
your overworked brain.
By now your bath should be
ready. Ease yourself into the tub,
lean back, and soak leisurely. Ob-
serve how the mild temperature
eases your tense muscles and fray-
ed nerves. Blot yourself dry and
crawl into bed. Make your mind
as nearly blank as possible and
youH be surprised now quickly
you 11 fall asleep.
Homemaker Can
Change Kitchen
By Color Magic
Have you taken a good look at
your kitchen lately? Are you sat-
isfied with the impression a vis-
itor receives when she glances
around the room 1
Let's say your kitchen is too
small and crowded and gives even
you a hemmeddn sensation, is
there anything you can remove, to
gain more "floor space? How
about taking out that kitchen
table and substituting a hinged
shelf that folds against the wall,
for your snacks the Gas Appliance
Manufacturers Association sug-
gests? Removing the table even
experimentally DOE.S n ak the
kitchen seem bigger immediately,
doesn't it?
Now let's look- at: the- walts-
Haven't yon added quite a few wall
gadggfs ti> that wigirial"knife rack
and your paper toweling dispens
«*r? Try taking everything down,
ju$t for fuir, and see what hap-
pens when there's more wall- space
showing. Well how about that?
Your best magician's prop, of
•■tmrse, is paint.
Maybe you're one of the women
who hopped on the bandwagon
when all your friends went gaga
over forest green kitchens. Made
the kitchen shrink considerably,
didn't it? Next time, switch to a
light, cool gray on the walls and
woodwork. For your work coun-
ters, nse the same shade and for
the floor a harmonizing darker
tone—maybe a mottled effect
that's inobtrusive. Your white por-
celain gas range and refrigerator
wi'l blend right into this color r
scheme. '
You can- give vent to your fond-
ness for bright colors in the cur-
tains, window-sill pottery, teat
towels, cannister set and the few
cooking utensils you decide to keep
in view on the walls. It's really
no trick at all to give a small kit-
chen a warm, yet uncluttered look,, sories for contrast, and having as
by using light, cool colors for the much free floor and wall space as
background and gay bright acces- possible.

Broiled Chicken
(Editor's Note: This is another
of a weekly series on American
cooking, home style, featuring in-
terviews with good cooks from
Maine to California.)
By DAVE PICKMAN
United Press Staff Correspondent
BOSTON (HE)—The beginning
of good nutrition is a hearty break-
fast for the Edward F. Curry fam-
ily of suburban Milton.
Attractive Patricia Curry, a pro-
fessional home economist turned
housewife, said she gives her hus-
band and three school-age chil-
dren "the works" for breakfast.
This helps to combat fatigue,
and along with a light and well-
balanced lunch, brings the family
to the evening meal ready for such
main dishes as broiled chicken, the
family's favorite.
How To Do It
Here's Mrs. Curry's recipe for
broiled chicken:
Buy chicken cut up for broiling.
Singe, wash with cold water, and
wipe dry with a towel. Make sure
the bird is at room temperature.
Place the chicken on broiler pan
and place pan on bottom of oven,
as far as possible from the broiler
irnlt, skin side down. Brush with
melted butter and broil about 25
minutes until all pieces are evenly
browned.
Then turn and brush skin
with melted butter and broil about
20 minutes. Remove to hot platterf
brush again with melted butter,
sprinkle with salt and pepper, and
serve. £
Along with broiled chicken, Mrs.
Curry usually serves whippdd po-
tatoes, buttered fresh peas and
carrots, jellied pineapple and car*
rot salad, lemon meringue pie and
coffee, with milk for the children.
But breakfast is "the most tmt
portant meal of all," she said. \
"My family has fruit, cereal (hot
in winter and cold in summer)}
eggs (any way I feel like serving
them), and coffee or milk.
Four Tips For Cooks '
Mrs. Curry's tips to other home-
makers: '
1. Enjoy cooking and you'll do
it well. i
2. Arrange the kitchen so things
are where they are used. ■}
3. Don't overcook vegetable^
and do cook them in a small quanf
tity of water.
4. Think of a roast in
ways. \
"I try to buy a good roast angj
use it different ways through th$
week. I think that's the most inj
expensive way to buy meat today;
