Rheumatism

What would you suggest for the cure of
rheumatism in the knees and joints?
MIR C. C.
The rheumatism from which you are suf-
fering seems to be the chronic form and is
probably due to disturbances in the nu-
triton of the body. This may be the result
of poisons absorbed from the intestinal
tract, and we would suggest that you make
every effort TO secure thorough clearing
out Of the bowels two or three times a
day. The employment of fruits. vegetables
and the coarse cereals, especially the en-
ployment of bran, would all help in sweep
ing out the poisons from the intestnes

Bleeding Gums

What is the cause of bleeding gums and
what is the cure? w H. r
Bleeding gums show that there is an
unhealthy state of the mucous membrane
OF the mouth and this can be greatly bene-
nted by massage of the gums with the
fingers thoroughly cleansed by strong soap
and water; rub the gums inside and out
with the tips Of the fingers dipped in cold
water every night. Thorough cleanliness of
the teeth is also essential. Frequent rinsing
of the mouth with salt and water is some
times found helpful.

Electric Needle for Removing
Superfluous Hair

Is there anything better than the electric
needle for removing superhuous hair?
MISS A. NJ.
We know of nothing better than the cleo
trio needle for the removal of superfuous
hair, as it is least injurious to the sur
rounding tissues. 1t destroys the root Of
the hair without danger of infection. The
pastes sometimes used for removing hair
are fit ony for temporary use and have to
be repeated constantly.

|GENUINE PATRIOTISM SHOWN

WE ARE an extravagant nation and
w there is no use denying It, In some
ways we have been more sensible than
the English. but that was before the war
In those days no English woman who
made any pretensions to social position
would dream OF being without two or
even three maids; she could not go TO
the theater or a dance In street car,
and a mother who wheeled her own baby
carriage would be so hopelessly without
"class" that 1t was unthinkable. In those
matters we were too democratic to be
SO foolish, and the war has taught Britain
that she can very easily do without"
She has had to learn the same lesson in
more essential matters also, for food of
many kinds is scarce; but here she was
never quite so wasteful and luxurious
as we are.
TNHAT Is why Hoover has gigantic task
i before him and why we women must
force ourselves to realize that NOW Is
the time to begin to do without" non

will not have to be curtailed after
awhile.
We are so far from the scene of ac.
tion as yet thank God. we have not had
our souls narrowed by casualty lists on
which we might perchance find the name
which matters most In all the world to
us; and so, though we theoretically know
we are at war. and though we go to Red
Cross or other war-relief work. we do
not in the majority of cases, bring our.
selves down TO tin tacks" and make the
