Your breathing is the main factor In
drawing the blood from the capillaries
back through the veins to the heart.
With the act of inspiration. taking in
breath, there is considerable suction
upon the blood in veins and capillaries,
from the lowering Of pressure in the
great veins in the chest. The diaphragm
contracts during inspiration, pressing
downward upon the liver and stomach
and causing the front abdominal wall
to bulge. and so the blood is sucked
into the great vein and into the right
side Of the heart.
So endeth the physiology lesson. Is
1t necessary to remind you that many
functional troubles are due to poor
circulation and that they may be pre-
vented and In many cases cured by cul-
tivating natural breathing habits?

Answer-(D The most practical So
luton for this problem is usually to
bleach the hairs with strong peroxide
If they are dark. Anything else you
did to them might increase their
growth. OF course, you might have
the longer hairs permanently removed
by electrolysis. but this sometimes
stimulates the growth Of adjacent hairs,
which may necessitate more treatments
than you would care to take. ca Use
commercial frecKle cream or lotion.
Remember, however, that 1t Is not al
ways possible to remove freckles entire
ly. Be satisfied If they become lighter
and then cover them with powder. 80
You should consult an eye specialist.
The watering is probably due to eye

questions. LOIS LEEDS.
