name Oldson, often found in England
and less frequently the United
States.

sen" is Scandinavian. Notwlth-
sta nding the fact that sen mas eS-
actly the same meaning as the ter,
mination "son" in English names. and
indicates exactly the same kind OF
origin for the name, the Engilsh
"Son" has never been misspelled INTO
sen" At no period has there been
tendency of English spelling in that
direction, though there have been
radical changes in other directions
Oldson might Conceivably become
Olson. but never Olsen, unless the
family bearing it should have moved
from England to one of the Scandi-
navian countries at some period.
Olaf. as a given name, was widely
used among the old Swedes and
NorwegianS of the viking days. 1t
was a native name, compounded from
Scandinavian names meaning anceS-
tor and relic: and the name means

Christian name when the far north

she had for several years
been persistently entering her Cairn
terrier Ragsy in every available dog
show. he had never secured for him
self anything more than a modest
honorable mention" He was wee
thing, with a pedigree much longer
than he was, but his bench manners
were not winning ones. Probably
Merriam would have long since de-
sisted from her attempts at blue rib
bons had not her friends. the Blais-
deiis. teased her so much about her
failures The joke was so old that
even the baby twins would tug
Ragsy's ears. murmuring, Poor ole
Ragsy wifout any wibbons.''
Ragsy himself, who loathed dog
shows. would balk the moment the
shipping hamper appeared.
Its your own fault the bronze
haired little matron would scold at
him. You're a perfectly beautiful

This shrinkage of the overgrown or

sation against the germs. They lurk
in the tonsils. not on the surface.
There is probably nothing to be
gained by using antiSeptic substances
in gargles. so far as infected tonsils
are concerned. for the germs cannot
be reache ed by an antiseptic. They
lurk within the crypts. which are
long. deep and in hypertrophied or

specialist cannot follow the villainous

them to a germicidal bath.
I am anxious to make a distinction
between streptococci lurking in the
tonsils or in the tooth sockets and
Vaguer microbes lurking under the

at any time find their way to the

Out of thirty-six cases of infected

been employed, thirty-two showed an
absence of the streptococcus and the
staphylococcus as well. DR.. Witherby

Elbow Cream.

1t is SO easy for any woman to have
nice looking elbows. cannot find
any excuse for the extraordinary
number of dark and ugly looking
elbows which l meet with every day
of my life One does not realize what
an unbeautiful thing the human elbow
is until one sees it protruding dark
and rather naked looking from a
sleeve that is much too short.
Soap and water alone are not enough
to make the elbows good looking.
They need a lavish amount of cold
cream unless they happen to belong
to very plump arms which are clothed
most of the time with long sleeves.
Otherwise they will get so knocked
dust and dirt that only the lavish ap-
plication of oil will keep them nice
looking.
A cleansing cream should be used
every day if short sleeves are worn,
but it should be used before and not
after the elbows are washed. 1t
should be rubbed in thoroughly to
day and then scrubbed out with hot
water and soap. BY doing it in this
fashion there will not be any grease
in the elbows to collect dirt and
neither will they be dry and rough
looking.
If the elbows are rough, besides this
treatment you should use vanishing
cream and then a lavish. amount of
talcum powder. Vanishing cream will
make this rough hard skin soft and
smooth and will give good base for
powder With good care the elbows
need never look old or shriveled.
Elbows that are very bad looking will
be enormously improved if they are
soaked in olive oil after being scrub
bed with hot water and soap.

all about the making of fine. cream,
but it will take too much space at
this time. Send a stamped addressed
envelope and the information will be
mailed to you.
