QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question: A. F. writes: II have
had my tonsils removed and so far
as I know l am free from catarrhal
trouble. It seems / snore before
am really asleep, and it makes no
difference in which position / lie.
/ would appreciate any information
you could give me on snoring"
Answer: The removal of your
tonsils would not cure the catarrhal
trouble which existed before the
operation. You snore because you
cannot breathe freely through your
nose. This may be due to enlarged
turbinate bones in the nose, or
simply to the membranes beirg
swollen from catarrhal irritation.
Question: D. H. writes: "Have
read many Of your articles and am
interested. What foods tend to pro-
duce cancer, and If there is active
cancer, what foods can be used to
control it? Would like to read some
Of your articles on cancer"
Answer: have written q great
deal on the subject you mention in
your letter and will be glad to send
some Of these articles to you il YOU
will only send me a large, self-ad-
dressed, stamped envelope. do
not believe there is any single article
Of food which is primarily the cause
Of cancer, but during the cure it is
well to eliminate all such 'heavy"
foods as the proteins and carbohy-
drates.
Question: Sylvia writes: Il am

spots on my shoulder resembling
freckles. presume they are
freckles, as l am much exposed to
the sun. But in addition to these
spots, several brown patches the
size of beans have appeared, like
blood blisters, slightly red around
the edge. What would cause them,
and how could they be safely re-
moved ?"
Answer: The brown patches you
mention must be due to some faulty
metabolism, and can be removed
through the use Of the ultraviolet
light or the electric needle. Have a
diagnosis made to determine the real
cause.

(NEA Service Writer)

Washington, Oct. 3.-The Depart
ment of Commerce is trying to throw
out a life line to q million or more
small retailers who are more or less
menaced by expansion Of the chain
store systems.
DR.. Julius Klein, director of the
Bureau Of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce, has made plain that the
department does not agree with
those who predict the eventual elm
ination of the small manufacturer
and merchant.
"The resourcefulness and freedom
of action Of the individual will al
ways go far toward offsetting the
advantage of large-scale operations
of the more complicated organiza-
tions," he says. I'm fact, these
characteristics are the most impor-
tant factors in maintaining Amer
lean business"
The Independent merchant, accord
ing to Klein, will hold his place in
proportion to his efficiency and
service to the community. The same
goes, in effect, for the middle man.
The big concern has undoubted ad-
vantages in certain types of bust
ness, but the independent retailer
has the advantage in others. Klein
declares:
"The vast majority of independent
business men with native ability.
with a willingness to work, to util-
ize new methods, and to take ad-
vantage of new conditions, and with
a reasonable amount Of new capital,
have as great opportunities for sue
cess today as ever before-in fact,
greater opportunity, because of the
steady advance in our living STAN
dards and buying power"
Curtailment Of unnecessary costs
is the answer to some Of the small
merchants gravest problems.
Studies conducted by Klein's bureau
indicate that his profits are often
lost through such wasteful and
needless practices as accumulation
Of dead stock, soliciting Of unprof-
liable customers, striving for volume
of business without regard to costs,
uneconomic credit practices or ex-
cessive delivery service. Larger
operators usually avoid these mis-
takes.

CHAPTER XVIII.

TOR several weeks John Byrdon
had made no attempt to e
Barbara outside Of the office.
He had a feeling that she was
keeping something from him-and
that something related, not dis
family, to Gerald Renard. And,
although he dared not admit it TO
himself, every time he thought of
Babs and Jerry together, a sharp
twinge Of jealousy shot through
his body. There was no doubt
about John Bvrdon was in love
with his secretary.
He realized, Of course, that
when his wife and children re-
turned from their Summer vaca-
ton he could not ask Barbara TO
go out with him. Then she could
50 easily say il was unfair TO her
and unkind 10 his family.
One day, as he was debating to
his secretary, the telephone rang
and he heard the huoyant voice Of
his young and attractive niece.
Peggy Stark. "Hello, Uncle John.
When are you going to take me to
luncheon? You promised, you
know"
As Peggy's voice tinkled
through the telephone John Bvr-
don had an idea. He was not slow
to act upon it. "Come on up,
now" he said.
He hung up the receiver and
glanced sideways at Barbara She
was leaning over her notebook,
apparently engrossed in ii. She'll
pick up her ears soon enough"

Jerry was deep in the days

swer to his employers "Good-
morning." He jumped to his feet
and bowed, How do you do" ia
the attractive girl with Byrdon.
II wonder il you will be good
enough to take care of my niece

Byrdon asked.

The main reason why bleaching
Is harmful to the hair il that the
ingredients used in the bleach are
drying and SO eat up the natural
oils that Nature has provided for
nourishment to the hair. Without
these oils or food the hair Is
starved and so becomes dry, brittle
and ~lustreless, just as the body be-

Of food is withheld from the sys-

Wind a bit Of cotton
around an old toothbrush
which is TO be used for ap-
plying the bleach. You
will also need two or three
dozen large hairpins for winding
the hair.
Make a part in the center Of
the hair when it is nearly dry,
then, separating a small strand Of
hair from the rest. dip the tooth
brush in the peroxide and am
monia and apply il, laying the
brush fiat against the hair and
back from the part about a quar-
ter Of an inch. Draw the brush
out to the ends of the hair so that
the entire strand IS saturated with
the peroxide and ammonia, then
wind it about a hairpin and secure
II in place before going on to the
next strand of hair. The winding
prevents the peroxide and ammo
MIA from running down ahead Of
time upon the other hair 70 be
bleached, and prevents a streaky
result.
When all the hair has been sat-
urated and pinned in place in this
manner, sit in a warm room until
the hair is thoroughly dry, but do
not sit in the sun. Do not remove
the pins until the hair Il abso-
lutely dry.
" TO gain the best results the
treatment should be given to you
by someone else. By doing this
you can make sure that none Of
the bleaching preparation gets on
the scalp. Then, too, someone
else will be able to do the back
hair more easily than you possibly
could and thus an even tone will
be assured.
Once bleached in this manner
the hair will never turn dark
again, but it will grow out, or
course, and the new hair that
