Varicose Veins and Ulcers.

Several items concerning the cheml-
cal obliteration of varlcoSe veins nave
been printed in recent months. These

BY THE COUNSELLOR.

Emma Parker owned a boarding
house, which she desired to sell, and
Olive Ring, whom she had known IL
years, was tavorably disposed toward
purchasing the business.
One of the representations made by
Mrs. Parker was that Mrs. Ring, If
she bought the business, could and
would make $50 a month rental from
the boarders and $25 additional for
groceries and table supplies. Mrs. Ring
was further assured that in addition
she could and would make an addition
willow plumeS and other expensive ar
ticles of wearing apparel, such as Mrs.
Parker wore.
Mrs. Ring. relying on her friendship
with Mrs. Parker and believing that she
would not mislead her. trusted the rep
reservations implicitly, and hastily
bought the business for $780,

she had been deceived. She was not
even able to pay the rent of the house.
which was $45 month. She then filed
suit, asking to have the sale reScinded.
claiming that Mrs. Parker knew that
the representations she had made could
not possibly be true and that they had
been made to deceive her
The court, however, dismissed Mrs
Rings suit, stating

ton for fraud or the rescisSion of

recommending these on the ground that
| they are more primitive.
We speak of the new trimmings OF
the season and yet there is nothing
really new in the best of them.
Feathers. flowers fur. jewels and metals
have all been used for the adornment
of womenS raiment since the dawn OF
history; and we are using them yet.
1t is the primitive love of light and
brilliance that makes metallic materials
and ornaments still so universally well
liked. And barbarian women like to
deck themselves with bits of cleaning
metal no more than do we. Never was
there such steady, strong demand for
metal fabrics as there is today and the
present vogue for sequin trimmings
shows that we are as fond of cleaning
in reflected radiance as ever.
Sequin- trimmed cocktail jackets and
boleros have met with enormous ap-
proval in this country, and perhaps the
best liked type of evening scarf at pres

made dazzling with sequins.

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MOLLIE MERRICK.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, December s.
Corinne Griffith is going down IN the
sc cial scale, so far as pictures are con-
cerned. She has done away with beau
ties in gorgeous raiment in her present
picture to play the part of a stenog-
rapher, and a tired and sometimes be-
draggled one at that.
And in he" next picture she'll be a
cashier in a Budapest cafe. You can't
be much of a clothes horse In that ca
pacity. Corinne wants to show the
world she can act. And she has had a
very hard time convincing producers
that she will register without all the
ostrich plumes. diamonds, ermine wraps
and conventional studio flubdubbery
most lovely actresses have to bear.
This actress is one of the old-timers
of pictures. Of course, being an old
timer in pictures isn't anything. That
means you've survived the slaughter for
10 years or more. On the legitimate

six years, but here in HOLLYWOOD time

Chocolate Treat.

Soak two tablespoonfuls of granu-
lated gelatin in half a cupful of cool
milk for 10 minutes. Place three and
one-half cupfuls of sweet milk in a
pan and heat it until thin scum has
formed on top, but do not let it boil.
If YOU will rinse the pan out with cold
water before you pour in the milk. it
will be easier to wash. Take the heat
ed milk from the stove and add the
softened gelatin. three-fourths cupful
of sugar and two squares of unsweeten-
ed chocolate melted. To melt, the
chocolate should be cut in fine pieces,
placed in a saucer and set on top of
the teakettle for cover. The steam
will melt the chocolate. Then add a
pinch of salt. Stir the mixture until
the sugar and gelatin are dissolved,
then set it into a pan of cold water
to chill. When the mixture begins to
thicken, stir in cupful of finely cut
raisins, figs. dates or nuts. Pour into
molds that have been wet in cold water,
or leave in the pan and put into
tho refrigerator to become firm and

Questions and Answers

Would you please publish a recipe
for preserving citron, and also one for
apple cake made with baking powder?
Mrs. B.
am afraid that by the time these
recipes are published they may be a
little late for you to use, at least SO
far as preserving citron is concerned
The apple cake, of course, may be used
at any time.
Apple Cake-Two cups flour, one
teaspoon salt. five teaspoons baking
powder, one-half cup sugar, one-third
cup shortening, one egg. one tablespoon
lemon juice, one cup milk, four to five
apples.
Mix and sift dry ingredients. Rub
in the fat until we'll blended. Beat the
egg, add the milk and stir into the dry
mixture. Add the lemon juice and
more milk If necessary to make a very
soft dough. Spread in well-greased
pan and cover the top with the apples
peeled and sliced very thin. Sprinkle
with four tablespoons of sugar mixed
with one-half teaspoon cinnamon and
bake in moderate oven for 40 minutes.
or until the apples are tender. Use
tart greening apples for the best flavor
Citron PreServe-Cut the citron in
quarters, scrape out the seeds and the
soft center, cut in strips and then into
fancy shapes as desired. Weigh the
fruit and to six pounds allow six pounds
of sugar, four lemons, and one-fourth
; pound of green ginger root. Wash the
ginger root thoroughly cut in pieces tie
in piece Of cheescloth and boil in one

and one-half quarts of water for about
half an hour.
Remove the ginger, add to the water
the sugar, lemon juice and the grated
lemon rind If desired the lemon rind
may be cut In very thin strips instead
of grating. Stir over a slow fire until
the sugar is dissolved; add the citron
and cook slowly until the citron is
clear, golden in color, and tender
enough to pierce easily with a fork.
This will take anywhere from one to
two hours Stir frequently to avoid
Scorching When done, seal in small
sterilized jars.
Will you please tell me how much
water one should drink during the
day. and the best time to drink it?
Also is it good to take hot water the
first thing in the morning. or is cold
water better?-Mrs. j. N.
The amount of water one should
drink during the day is generally esti-
mated at about eight glasses. AS to
the time that is best for drinking wa
ter, there is somewhat of a difference
of opinion. Some doctors hold to the
theory that water should not be taken
with meals or should be taken then in
very small quantities. and others that
there Is no harm in drinking as much
water as one desires during the meal
so long as it is not used to wash down
mouthfuls of food or used too heavily
iced. Large quantities of ice water
certainly will slow up the digestive pro-
ceSSeS.
I believe it is a good thing to drink
water the first thing in the morning

Speaking of Hollywood a group of
quidnuncs got together to discuss the
faults of the movie city.
They had plenty of time to talk and
plenty of liquid to wash down the con-
versation-they needed to. Said one:
"Hollywoods common sin is exag-
geration. Everything that happens here
is exaggerated Beauty is magnified,
evil receives more sinister proportions
than it really has" Il don't think he
said it that way; I think I'm giving this
fellow good English by mistakO. &.
Comedy is put into the superlative."
