Coming Earthquakes
Foundation Declares

Boston, Dec. S. - (AP) - Belief
that earthquakes can be foretold is
only one of four popular misconcep-
tons to which the Engineering-E Eco
Monies Foundation takes exception
to in a statement today. The foun-
dation is engaged in a study of
earthquake hazard with a view to re-

The statement of the foundation
is based on articles and editorials
relating to earthquake hazard which
have been sent to it.
Other misconceptions include as
sumption that the hazard is a prob

1t lowers the rate to residence and

HE vogue OF lampshades in
4 all sizes, shapes and combi-
nations of colors, brings up the
problem of cleaning these delight
full accessories to the comfort and
beauty of the home. This need
not, however, offer any difficulties
If these simple directions are fol-
lowed.
To wash silk lampshades which
have become soiled, prepare tub
full of Ivory soap suds. Have the
water just lukewarm and brim-
ming with lather.
Dust the shade we'll and re.
move any metal trimming before
plunging 1t into the warm sudsy
water. Wash by lifting UP and
down into and out of the suds. SO
that the soap will be forced
through the meshes Of the silk.
Replace the suds with fresh
water as soon as 1t becomes very
dirty, as it is impossible to wash
anything clean in dirty water.
Rinse the shade by dipping in
and out of clear warm water. Tho
last rinse water may be tinted with
any of the quick dissolving dyes to
restore the freshness to the color
of the shade II 1t has faded.
Hang up to dry in a warm airy
place. When thoroughly dry, sew
on the trimming. If 1t is In good
condition. If not, replace 1t with
fresh braid or ornaments and the
shade will be as good as new.

HEALTH
Hints:
by the
Father'of
Physical
Culture

Neuralgia is g, violent and acute
pain along the course of a sensory
nerve, more or less spasmodic in
character, not accompanied by any
inflammation Of the nerve itself.
Though neuralgia pains are often
complication of Diseases and may
appear in all parts of the body,
they occur most often in the re-
gion of the forehead, face, should
er and chest.
Very frequently a fast and the
free drinking of water, If contin-
ued from one to three days, will
effect a cure. However, where the
attacks recur at frequent intervals
the cure of one attack will not free
the patient from future trouble. 1t
emily follow method Of constit-
utional up-building.
In the treatment Of an acute at
tack, I would advise first of all a
fast-that is abstaining from all
nourishment, liquid or solid, with
the exception that the patient is
particularly requested to drink
large quantities of water. BY large
quantities I mean on an average Of
from half a pint to a pint every
hour during the day. This fast is
to be adhered to as long as the
symptoms continue. The only al
lowable deviation from this fast
would be where there is strong
craving for acid fruits, then allow
oranges or lemons In limited quaint

the disease disappear a limited
diet consisting of three meals daily
Of one glass of milk and slice of
whole-wheat bread will be benef-
cial.
The bread is to be masticated
dry, the milk to be taken warm
after the bread has been eaten. If
there is not definite enjoyment of
the dry bread, take the milk only
until an ability to enjoy dry bread
is developed. Sunk or butter-
milk may be used instead of sweet
milk. Continue this for two or
three days, after which take
limited diet consisting of one-half
pint of soup and one slice of bread,
three meals daily.
The only local treatment of any
value is the application of hot TO-
mentations to the painful parts,
though these may be followed or
Interrupted by brief applications of
cold water. Where there are in
dications of constipation full
enema is advised when beginning
the treatment, and a small enema
each day while the acute symp-
toms persist.
