Diet and

do not know whether this
story is true or not, but 1t was
told me By veracious man
and there Is confirmation for
1t in reliable medical reports.
There was a man who had
a pain in his back. He went
to all kinds of doctors ana
took all kinds OF treatments,
But the pain in his back kept
on. He went to famous diag.
noSticians and diaenostie clif.
les, and orthopedie sufke6fis.
Most Of the diagnoStieiaf1s
said frankly they did not kfl0w
what the trouble was. x.tays
showed nothing.
Continual Pain
Still the pain In his back
kept on. It went on for months
and years. It kept goink fur.
ther and further down. It
started about the Level Of the
shoulder blades ana htaduaily
worked down to the small Of
the back.
Then it turned into Sciatica.
The man was so miserable that
he could hardly attend to any
Of his work. He locked sick.
But nobody could give him any
relief or even tell him what
was the matter. He tried oste0s
paths and chiropractors ana
Christian Science, but in this
;Nary they did no better than
the regular medical profession.
Finally, his Sciatica got bet
ter, his back was all right but
he began to get sore in a spot
In front of his leg just below
the groin. At last, a little red
lump appeared there and 4
surgeon opened it. and removed
the needle part Of the head Of
4 hypoderrnic needle.
Needle Broke off
Then the man remembered
that he had been given a serum
under the shoulder blade sew
eral years before and that the
hypodermic needle Of the
syringe and broken off. If the
story is true, the only explara-
ton is that the needle worked
It's way along d rib, then down
the spine, to the psoas muscle,
then down that muscle into the
front of the thigh.
That such q story Is not i'm
possible is shown by the reli-
able medical literature men
toned above ana which is here
before me. A negro was shot
in the back, low down. Four
days later the bullet was fe.
moved from down Between his
legs, having evidently worked
its way along cleavage lines
in tissue spaces. In another
case, bullet entered the Back
almost as high as the needle
in my case. and was removed
at almost the same place.
The only difference III the
stories Is the length Of time
required for my waIlderif1e
Ulysses of a needle.

Can't Forgive Him
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DCAGO 6A44OG 61&&s
There Is a young man who
has been very attentive to me
for about two years. In fact,
everyone took it for granted
that we were engaged. About
a week ago one Of the girls in
our crowd invited us to q
dance she was giving at the
country club. I called him and
told him about it, and that We
were both invited, and he said
that he had made another en-
Sagemert to take out a girl
cousin who was visiting his
aur1t and wouldn't be able TO
go. The worst part Of it was
that he didn't even try 20 ar
range to go. I didn't know
anyone else to ask and con-
sequently had to stay away
from the dance. I have been
angry with him ever since, ana
do not think ] care to ever see
him again. RITA
MY Dear Rita, I think that
you will be sorry if you take
this attitude. If you weren't
really engaged to the young
man, you had no reason to feel
that it was his duty to accom-
pany you. A nice way to show
that you have overlooked the
incident would be to. entertain
the boys cousin some way
yourself. He would appre-
ciate it and admire you all the
more for your gracious return
to good humor.

this but she couldn't have him
here any longer. Couldn't stand
him around. For Tony's sake
she must be polite about getting
rid of him. For Tony's sake,
and her sake. Tony's job was
precious to them.
Eyes, I guess I am. I'll be
getting along, now. Thanks for
the meal. And I'll call you UP
some time soon. Maybe some
afternoon you can take a drive
with me-"
Dee said nothing. She dared
say nothing. silently sh e
handed Clary his hat and
opened the front door.
A Pretty Thing
He stood there twirling 1t in
his hands for a while. you're
a nice little thing. Pretty, too.
I liked you right from the first.
Knew you were the right sort.
If you change your mind tonight
about going out with me, phone
me at my hotel. I'll be looking
for a call" He bowed awkward
ly and Dee closed the door.
She was quite pale as she
hurried into the kitchen, and
popped the potatoes into the
oven. To think that he thought
she wou1d-go out with him!
With him! When she had Tony
Expecting her to phone him
tonight and tell him she would
go out, after she had refused
just now. What did he think
she was, anyway? She was
sputtering to herself as she
fixed the roast.
Perhaps he had asked her to
go out Of the kindness of his
heart, because he knew she was
alone, with Tony gone and all
that-perhaps he had. But he
had been so persistent, 50 ter.
ribly persistent. Even had re-
served a table at the Knicker.
booker Grill.
And then, he said he would
phone her again. Would take
her for a ride. As if she would
go! Did he think she was
crazy?
OF course she had had to
be nice to him that first time.
He was Tony's boss, but She
had not been over nice. AS
she remembered she had been
in the kitchen a sreat deal,
hadn't really spoken to him q
lot..
Must Be Wrong
His light bulbous eyes seemed
to follow her around the kitchen,
and once, 50 upset was she
about them, she tiptoed into
the living room, stu half ex-
pecting to find him sitting in
the big chair, the tea cup in
his hand. The room was
mpty, however, and she
breathed a sigh Of relief as
she went on with her cooking.
Tony hadn't said anything
about going to Akron. He would
have called, surely, If he were
going to be out of town. He
usually did. But Clarw seemed
so sure. Then, he probably had
sent him there-so he could
come out and see her!

Birthday misunderstanding
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Please excuse my penrnan-
ship. The excuse is that I am
Just recovering from d broken
arm received in an airplane
crash. I am a sergeant in the
United States Air Force. I
have just become engaged to
very refined girl. I am very
much in love with her, but my
duties keep me away from her
most of the time. My term OF
service is not up until next
July. Now, the difficulty is
about her birthday, which oc-
Cured last month. I had prom
ised that I would be at her
home to the party, but could
not get leave to attend 1t. I
wrote and told her, but she re-
fuses to write. I think she
heard that was out with an
other girl that night. I have
always been able to get leave
when 1 applied for it, but this
time I could mot get the leave.
I have written her three or
four letters. Would you be kind
enough to solve my problem?
READER.
It seems to me your prob
lem is fairly simple. My ex-
perience with Army officers
leads me to believe that, while
they are severe disciplinarfans,
they are at the same time

But when she lifted the re-
ceiver it wasn't Tony's voice
that greeted her. A woman,
with a drawing lazy voice
asked for Mr.. Curtis" The
voice was vaguely familiar to
Dee, and she tried to puzzle out
who it could belong to as she
said as sweetly as she could
that Mr.. Curtis isn't in. He
will be home shortly"
There was a thank you"
from the woman, and the
clicking of the instrument told
Dee she had hung up.

drawl. Something familiar.
Who could it be? That soft,

Household Hints

Some people do not like
whipped cream and others find
IL prohibitive1y expensive for
the daily table. A pleasant al
tentative in either case is to
add q sliced banana to the white
of one egg, then beat it until
stiff. The banana will entirely
dissolve and the egg thus
fluffed and favored may be
used on desserts ordinarily re-
quiring whipped cream.
Half a cupful Of flour and
salt in equal parts rubbed into

fell to the floor at this thought.
No, Clary couldn't be like that.
Tony thought so highly of him.
He had been so wonderful to
Tony. No, she must .have
Clary all wrong.
Signing a little, she sat down
ON the floor and retrieved the
peas.
Anyway, dinner would be
ready for Tony when he came.
A good dinner, too. If by any
chance he didn't come. it was
the kind of a dinner that
would keep.
The phone disturbed her,
and she flew to answer It.

not like that at all.
Presently Clary produced
from his hip pocket a bottle
which was identical to the bot
tie he had brought on his first
visit with Tony.
Have q drink" he asked,
starting for the kitchen.
Dee refused, and Clary went
to the kitchen, where he re-
NAMED some few minutes.
When he came back there was
no sign of the bottle, but in
his hand was a large piece of
cake. 1t had been lying OH
the shelf. Dee had planned it
for dessert.
Couldn't resist it," Clary ex-
plained. Il haven't mad any

and was smoking d thick, short

room slowly, then returned to
rest again on Dee.

too, was another diamond, this
