and chapped appearance seen in cold,
frosty weather.
No matter how grimy one may feel,
the face should not be washed immedi-
ately on returning home, after being
out in the cold. First apply light
weight cleansing cream or Oil evenly
over the face, neck and throat and with
soft tissue square wipe of the excess
cream. The surface CRIME and face
powder will be removed with the only
cleanser. Apply some fresh cream and
massage it into the skin with the tips
Of the fingers. Remove excess cream
and apply soothing skin lotion, pat
ting In gently on the skin until 1t Is dry.
Warm water, softened with almond,
oatmeal or cornmeal and a mild soap,
may be used to wash the face before re-
firing, followed with a few minutes
massage with tissue cream or nourtsh-
ing oil. But never wash this type of
skin, either Immediately before going
out in the cold or Immediately on re-
turning from a walk in Winter or in
Summer. To do so is certain to make
this type of skin rough. blotchy and
coarse. Some women with particularly
delicate dry, sensitive skins find the
use of water and soap, no matter how
soft the one may be or how pure the
other, is always followed by disigur-
ing blotchiness which may last for
hours. The problem of keeping the
face feeling clean in such cases Is no
small one. The above method, together
with the correct cleansing, nourishing
and soothing creams and lotions, will
leave the skin smooth, soft and unirri-
tated.

Diathermy.

Last April an English doctor, Walter
Collins, reported in the London Lancet
his experience in the removal of tonsils
by diathermy. He had employed this
method in $50 cases. adults mainly, and
he believes the method has every adj
vantage Of ordinary surgical tonsillec-
tony and none of its disadvantages
DR.. Collins believes diathermy is not
suitable for children under IA years of
age, since to them a general anesthetic
Is not so alarming as the appearance
of the diathermy apparatus.
In this country some Of the more
skilled specialists, doctors who know
the art of managing children and gain
ing their confidence and cooperation,
have found diathermy quite satisfactory
for the extirpation of the tonsils in
children as young as five or six years.
OF course only the exceptionally well
bred child can have diathermy treat
ment.
For adults DR.. Collins says no general
aneSthetic is required. 1t is sufilcient
to spray the throat with local aneS-
thetic.
The whole treatment lasts only few
seconds. The British surgeon says it Is
advisable to complete the tonsillectomy
in two, three or four stages or treat
mentS at intervals of a week or more.
The patient should be examined at the
end Of month, and again after the
lapse Of three months; should any
fragment Of lymphoid (tonsiD tissue
have escaped destruction, it is easily
disposed Of at this time with touch
Of diathermy.
Collins has his patients use simple
antiseptic mouth wash after meals, but
absolutely forbids gargling.
Following each such treatment the
portion Of tonsil that has been coagu-
lated or desiccated shrivels and grad
ually sloughs away.
No secondary bleeding occurred in
the $50 cases. 1t was never necessary
to hospitalize the patient
In England perhaps they have never
been quite so radical, not to say rabid,
about the removal of tonsils as we have
been In this country. From the growl-
ing and Snarling and gritting Of teeth
fancy my plain and unchallenged
assertions about the tonsillectomy scam
dial in this country have not been
quite in vain, yet there is still room
for lot of improvement in the "ac-
cepted" way of dealing with bad tonsils
in America. Especially do the rank
and file of the medical profession here
need to stir out of dumb apathy in re-
spect to this modern method and at
least acknowledge that it is a good al
tentative for patients who. for one
reason or another, cannot undergo a
general anesthetic or risk the shock of
surgical tonsillectomy even under local
anesthesia. The fact that some of the
would-be leaders have conducted a vain
campaign to discourage diathermy in

Peter stared very hard up and down
the trunk Of the nearest tree but saw
nothing but bark from the ground up
to the lowest branches. 1t didn't occur
to him that this was different kind of
tree from those that interested Farmer
Browns Boy. When Farmer Browns
Boy had moved on Peter hoped over

and stared and stared. His staring was
in vain.

anybody would want on this tree" he
muttered, quite forgetting that what
ever had been there had already been
taken. At last ne happened to look
down instead of up and there at the
foot of the tree was a little whitish

smelled Of it and didn't particularly like
the smell.

Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

That contrary streak in most of us
makes 1t very easy for US to criticize
those who do differently than we. This
desire to have others follow our plans
is the incentive for most unasked-for
criticism and advice which Is poured
into the ears Of young mothers. Only
when, despite protests and advice, the
mother pursues her own course with
triumph, do these crepe-hangers admit
that perhaps she was right.
Recently we suggested the advisability
Of sleeping far enough away from the
baby so that small whimpers are in
audible and only the cry for necessary
attention heard. Mrs. o. L. w. writes
to indorse this, for she pursued the
policy against the advice-in fact, flying

Gus wreck when I decided to sleep
away from them. There was a regis
ter which opened from their room into
mine, and I could hear them as soon
as they cried. In short time I was
sleeping soundly, only waking when
necessary to give them attention.
"T'hey will soon be six years old, and

have obtained"
This is extremely interesting. 1t oc-
ours to me that when you said II did
not even have the cooperation Of my
husband" you felt as If this were an
unusual situation. AS matter of fact,
it is commonplace. The parents have
two different viewpoints of children,
that of the person who is with them
occasionally. and that of the persof
who Is with them constantly. 1t is
easy enough to be lenient and play
for a few hours on Sunday and half
hour at night, but it is quite another

gay, carefree atmosphere.
Most of the conflicts in the home
arise because these two parents can
not come to an arnicable decision about
the proper way to rear infants; and If
perchance the new mother is trying to
carry out some of the newer policies
of child care, she has not only her
husband, who Is unfamiliar with them,
but all of her husbands family and her
own relatives arrayed against her. The
cooperation of the father is great
help, but it is by no means common
place. It Is most unusual.
