Helpful Hints

One often finds that old-fashioned
dishes like liver and bacon are ex-
cellent in their effects upon health.
A few weeks ago we mentioned in
this column that doctors engaged In
research work were proclaiming the
value OF liver as a food. Now comes
a report that American scientists
have used II with uccess as q rem
edy FOR that dreadful wasting disease
called ''pernicious anaemia." The vi
tamin which liver contains can
Is particularly needed by sufferers
from that distressing complaint.
There seem TO be no doubt that
many who have been treated in this
way have been cured.
To avoid ladders. do not handle
silk stockings with ungloved hands
unless they are unusually smooth
and well kept. And do not wait for
the first signs OF q ladder-always

broken threads. and strengthen at
