the circulation, to lodge in the lungs,
the heart or the brain (embolism). The
CLOTHING produced within the vein by
the injection of sugar or salt fills the
entire lumen of the vein and is securely
attached to the vein wall. That is the
reason why embolism almost never hap
pens when this injection treatment Is
given.
The unpleasant effects sometimes ex-
perienced by patients who submit to
injection of the veins are due to I'M
skilled technic. If a wee drop of the
salt solution or sugar solution is in
jected around the vein instead of into
the vein, it sets up great irritation, be-
ing undiluted by the blood, and this
gives considerable pain and inf1amma-
ton without any benefit for the vari-
cose condition. If more than a drop or
two of the solution happens to be in
jected around the vein, 1t may produce
liberation OF the leg at the point in
jected
Formerly physicians used various
chemicals, but large experience has
shown that common salt solution, COM
mon sugar solution and. in a few cases,
corrosive sublimate solution give the
most satisfactory results.
There is some pain of a cramplike
character in most cases with each in
lection, but this lasts only a few min
utes. and patients say they do not mind
it, in view of the disappearance of the
enlarged veins.
Any good doctor anywhere can ad-
minister this treatment in his Office
without interrupting the patients usual
occupation. Any man or woman who
suffers with varicose (dilated, enlarged)
veins should interview his or her ply
sician regarding the treatment. If the
doctor does not give such treatment
himself, he will refer the patient to a
colleague who does. Some of the old
timers can't get the hang of it. All
of the younger doctors are trained in
this method nowadays.
The presence of an old and "incura-
BILE" ulcer Is complication which not
only does not prevent the application
of this method, but actually renders
the treatment the more advisable. The
obliteration of the vein brings about
healing Of the ulcer when all other at
tempts to heal it have failed.

AUTUMN
BY ID. C. PEATTK.

As soon as the first Autumn rains
have given the soil good dampening,
the mushroom season of Washington
begins again. 1t is not so large or,
so attractive as the Spring mushroom
season, but it is interesting to note
that as with flowers, many of the
Autumn species are different from the
Spring species.
1t seems to me that in Autumn /
see more of those little coral fungi,
which are edible, but to me quite taste
less. And beyond any doubt there are
more of those fat little puffballs like
small gray sacks, StreWn over my lawn
and Springing up in the garden Soe
where the stems of zinnias are wither-
ing. They lie on the ground until the
snow falls, surviving all the first frosts.
If you touch a puffball you get
surprise AT the top of the sack
little mouth opens and like some min
iature volcano, it spoutS a plume Of
smoke-in reality spores. Tear open
the sack and you find it one mass of
spores, rather like a bag full of pow
dered cinnamon. One ball must con-
tain literally millions of spores, and if
one puffbalTs spores all terminated
upon falling to earth, the whole area
of Arlington County would be covered
with them next Autumn.
Nature, however, makes no provisions
for the dominance of any one species of
plant or animal. On the contrary, her
laws are memorable. Contrary to pop
ular conceptions, Nature seems opposed
to fertility, and plants and animals are
obliged to produce offspring in i'm
mense numbers in order to overcome
the tremendous inertia of Nature. To
make one puffball live, thousands of
spores must be wasted. The lower forms
Of life, especially, adopt this method.
But low as the little puffball is and
anything much closer to the ground
one cannot imagine, it is not too lowly
to eat. I was once served dish Of
puffballs by one who knew what he
was collecting, that was as delicious
as the best button champignons that
the French Gamers export. I would
not. however, advise any one to eat
puffballs unless he was good fungol-
ogist who was certain of making no
mistake, and even SO he had best go
hunting for the very small young ones.
When puffballs get big enough to see
easily they are already too tough to
be pals table.

Nance. First, no house worthy of the
name of being modern is now built
without careful consideration of insu-
lation. There are insulating boards
and material on the market, any one
of which will keep the heat in the
house in the Winter time and the heat
out in the Summer.
Then air conditioning is something
rather new, but quite acceptable. We
have been living, we are told, in homes
that are too dry. Humidifying the
atmosphere is important.
Wood paneled rooms are quite the
thing. New products on the market
have cut the cost of solid wood panel
ing and made beautiful rooms within
the reach of folks like us. A glorified

1t is possible for the woman who
entertains to make her own place cards
for luncheons, dinners and suppers,
and also tally cards for bridge. or any
game in which records of plays must
be kept. These little accessories are
necessary. If there are many parties
given the dainty cards increase the
expense when the hostess buys them
every time. Just now when thrifty
management makes it possible to enjoy
having ones friends come in for an
afternoon or evenings entertainment
frequently it is we'll to know how to
cut costs. Here is one way.
Correspondence cards can be used
OF 2-ply Bristol board cut into card
size pieces. To do this with the needed
exactness, measure with a ruler and
mark with very sharply pointed hard
pencil. Put the paper on several thick
nesses of newspaper. Lay the ruler

it becomes a recreation room is now
an accepted part of new house. Floor
coverings that work, even in damp base
ments, are now on the market.
Modern homes are interested in the
problem of garbage disposal, too. Fire
places that are built SO scientifically
that they draw and don't smoke are as
much a part of a new house as the
front door. Thank goodness, the day
of burning wood or coal or both in your
living room fireplace has come back.
Garages with easily controlled doors
that are not hampered by drifts of snow
or sheets of ice are now available. In
addition we have found an increasing
number of homes with garage attached
so that the machine may be entered
without going out of doors.

l. Now she has fallen In love with q
fellow that does not dance, and so she
never runs around. He is out of a
1oo, and each night he comes to see
her and just sits in the parlor. I have
asked her to accompany my boy friend
and myself, but she hesitates to ask
MN because he simply does not have
the money.
Now I have about six or eight girl
friends. They are all right, but they
drink, smoke and come In almost every
morning around or even 6. The only
time they go any place with me is when
they nave no place else to go.
MY boy friend does not drink or
smoke, either. He goes with no fell
lows, nor any other girl. I enjoy his
company immensely and so do others,
but because we do not drink or smoke
we are never asked to accompany any
of our so-called friends to their parties
or gatherings. I just hunger for the
companionShip of another couple or
a girl friend. Is there a girl on earth
decent enough to keep away from such
stun and who has parents that re-
quest her being home as early as mine
do?
Il love this boy friend of mine dear
ly, but I yearn FOR the companionship
Of fourSome, to spend a quiet picnic
or have a pleasant drive, or dance.
Many a night I've cried myself to

friend. always enjoy myself with the

were, I guess I'd never enjoy myself
