that actual embroidery may be used in
other ways as accessory to silhouette

One OF the most interesting things

Of laying leaves upon photograph paper

is a close parallel TO the result of doing
white foliage patterns in silhouette
patchwork upon colored ground.
OF course, it. is not essential in sill

this is not the case. The point is that

The Nature of Cancer.

Until the cause of cancer is discov-
cred We cannot know whether the con-
ditions now called cancer are one
disease or group OF diseases. At any
rate, there are three main types OF
cancer recognized, namely carcinoma,
sarcoma and epithelioma.
Carcinoma is the common internal
cancer of organs such as the stomach,
the uterus. the breast. 1t occurs usually
IN person of mature age. only rarely
In one under 80. It develops insidi-
ously from no apparent cause or in the
site OF some long existing trouble, such
as an old ulcer or scar. It is painless
or responsible for but little pain In the
majority of cases. There Is no charac-
teristic or tell-tale sign by which patient
or doctor may recognize the nature of
the disease, but suspicion should lead
to, prompt medical examination. and
this affords the doctor chance to de-
tect the disease by the process Of exclu-
sion. Carcinoma spreads through the
Emphatic channels from the primary
site TO the nearest lymph nodes or
glands" and subsequently from these
to more distant nodes. It Is not a
growth" In the sense of new form Of
life grated on the body like a parasite; /;
1t Is rather degeneration, a disorderly
variation OF the normal cell multiplca-
ton OF the tissue or organ affected
cellular anarchy. In this irregular. alb
normal cell multiplication some poison
Gus substance seems to be produced, and
this seems to damage the general
health. No one has determined what
the hypothetical poison is. or even that
a poison is produced, but we assume
such a factor to account for the i'm
pertinent Of general health in cancer.
Sarcoma Is less common type of
cancer, often occurring in children or
persons of any age, developing more

Now for some questions:
l. rs saccharin harmful to the
health?"
Answer-Saccharin is coal tar
product about 500 times sweeter than
an equal amount of sugar. It Is not
considered harmful up to grain or
so a day, but 1t is best to learn to like
your beverages unsweetened, You can
allow in your calories small amount
of sugar-one small domino lump
counts only 20 C. There are no calor-
les in saccharin.
2. please give me your recipe for
the mayonnaise without calories. Name
few brands. Just what is meant by
Answer-Mineral oil is a coal tar
product. It comes from crude oil
which Is secured from especially con-
structed wells drilled in certain sections
of the earth. The product Is very
highly distilled and purified so that all
of the impurities are removed. kero-
sene, gasoline, naphtha, benZine, etc,
all may be secured from the same crude
oil, but, of course, these are not distilled
nearly to the extent of the mineral oils
which are taken internally. nor are they
purified. so they are poisonous to take
internally. Mineral oil acts as lubrl-
cant and softener and is good tor a
certain type of constipation. It Is not
absorbed by the system, so no calories
need be counted.
Mineral oil should not be used too
constantly nor in too great amounts,
for some later work has shown that
it may absorb the vitamin A from foods.

ting to me. What can add to the milk
TO make 1t palatable without adding

tomato soap? Nay this be added to
the milk during liquid diet?'
Answer-Yes. Add anything you like
to the milk If necessary to Llake it
palatable to you. A level teaspoonful Of
cocoa is about IL calories. A level tea
spoonful of canned tomato soup is
about three calories. Or you can add

4. Cannot eat poached or boiled
eggs. How many calories In a fried

One ordinary egg is rs oaiories.
5. IF craving for sweets gets very

Tomorrow is an uncertain day. ac-
cording to the reading of astrology.
1t Is we'll to tread on safe ground in
romance as well as business.
Women are subject to favorable in
f1uenceS, but they may be too inde-
pendent. and positive for the approval
OF, their families.
Wives under this direction of the
stars often make extreme financial de-
mands and disturb the domestic
serenity.
Women should cultivate unselfish-
ness while this. confguration prevails,
for the general trend of the planetary
influences is to accent their self-ap-
probation.
Theaters should profit at this time,
when the stars promise better plays
and the appearance of new geniuses.
This is read as a menacing rule for
certain sorts OF big enterprises, espe-
cially those connected with Govern
ment buildings.
1t Is not a favorable day for sur
geons or surgery. for the aspects are
read as presaging unexpected compli-
cations.

of decrease in divorces.
Persons whose birth date it is should
avoid unnecessary Journeys in the COM

that this Is true literally, but you pay

Quite time ago a biologist studied

them with the nerve cells of rested
pigeons. You could see the exhaustion
IN the depleted cells, and the ratio Of
flight to fatigue was somewhat as in
dicated

Father Time counts 10 and you are

Not long ago housewives were
afraid to use iye in cleaning pots
and pans. They used it only for
opening up clogged drain pipes, re-
moving rust stains from wash
bowls, or for purifying garbage
pals.
They knew lye cut grease like .
knife cuts cheese. They knew it in
stantiy rinsed away, leaving broil-
ers, pots and pans sparkling, sweet
smelling. But lye dried the skin of
their hands. So in their cleaning
water they depended on much soap,
hot water, steel wool and muscle.
Tired backs and red hands followed.
Then along came the efficient
young women Of today, determined
not to let housekeeping destroy their
looks or kill their Joy In life.
They looked at these eternally
greasy pots and pans. They saw
what cleaning did to hands and
backs. They determined to keep
their hands out of water.
Buying big comfortable rubber
gloves or long-handled mops they
began using lye. In ten seconds now
they swash clean a big broiler that
took their mothers ten minutes Of
