Catching Cold.

We regular doctors desire no personal
publicity, you understand, but we're
rather keen on it nowadays for medical
science. Accordingly you hear us
sounding of regularly on the radio, IN
the name of the medical society. and
you read our stuff regularly in the
papers, also by authority of our official
medical organization.
Some of our stuff Is dry and some Of
1t is humorous. Here is blurb printed
under the auspices of a New York
medical group telling folks How to
Catch Cold" started up eagerly when
lamped the title, but I found that the
cook presumed as usual that you already
have your rabbit.
The article Is in characteristic style
1t tells us at the outset that we have
no scientific knowledge of the nature or
cause of colds" Then it dwells on the
communicability or infectiousness of
colds" Finally it leaves us with the
positive assurance that chilling of the
body will bring on a cold" and par
ticularly If you get your feet wet.
The funny part, where you don't
laugh If you're a dumb one, Is that
we members admit we know little or
nothing about the nature or cause of
colds in one breath, and then in the
next breath we warn you dumb laymen
that a cold" will probably get you If
you go out without your galoshes on
In our publicity we are scientists and
old women, too. We have to cater to
all tastes, you see.
Almost in the same editions comes
the epochal announcement that the
great common cold" expedition which
set out from Johns Hopkins q year or
two ago has discovered the cause of the
common cold"-somehow the cause is
discovered annually-and the bulletins
from the commander say 1t is virus
too minute to be visible through the
highest power microscope. This Is
funny, too, when we remember that no
one as yet has discovered or identified

clan, health authority of scientific
standing, has ventured to define any
disease or entity under that name.

Hopkins people will not commit them

You see the doctors and others who
are making living out of the popular

as it is, vague, indefinite, adaptable to
whatever purpose or predicament one
has to meet.
In everyday practice even the intelli-
gent patient Is content to drift along

to do so, but finally complied. In his

the easier because he had only a small

IF you are having wedding in the
i family pretty soon, it's time to think
about the wedding cake. For what
would a wedding be without a cake?
OF late years, the custom is, II any
wedding cake is provided at all. to send
out and buy it from a caterer. But
home made wedding cakes are interest
ing and fun to make. If there is an
old wedding cake recipe in your fam
lily, use this by all means. However, If
you have never used it before, it is a
good plan to try it out in a small guam
tity before making the large cake or
cakes, so that if you learn anything
from experience in making 1t, your ex-
perience will come in time.
The most important thing in making
wedding cake, seemingly, is to have the
right sort of oven. The fact is that
a good wedding cake o-cn is so mod
crate that recipes say the cake should
bake eight hours. However, the heat
should be steady and never should the
oven chill. OF course, if you must cook
in gas oven, you cannot possibly get
that sort Of oven heat, so in that case
you will simply have to use a good, rich,
fruit cake recipe and cook 1t as slowly
as possible, never allowing the gas to be
turned out or to vary greatly in tenn
perature.
Tested Recipe.
An fashioned recipe calls for four
cups of butter, four cups of sugar, 10
eggs. four pintS OF -four, six cups of
currantS, three cups of raisinS, three
cups of citron, one -half cup of candied
lemon peel, two cups of blanched and
shredded almonds, two teaspoons each
Of nutmeg, cinnamon and mace, a table
spoonful of Glove and all-spice and one
cupful Of grapejuice.
Here Is more up-to-date wedding
cake that may be made in a slow gas
oven with care: Cream two cups of but
ter with three cups of brown sugar. add
the yolkS Of six eggs, one pound of
raisins, one pound of currants, half
pound of shredded citron, half a cup
each OF molasSeS and sour milk, half q
grated nutmeg, one tablespoonful of Gin
namon, one teaSpoonful each of cloves
and mace. Mix thoroughly and add four
cups of -four Sifted with a teaspoonful
of soda, and fold in the stif1y beaten
whites of 10 eggs. Turn into a tin
lined with buttered paper and bake
for two hours in moderate oven.
A delicious dessert is certainly the
right top-of to good dinner And even
II the dinner isn't very good, a delicious
dessert will make 1t so. Here are some
recipes for desserts that are worth try
ing:

BEAUTY CHATS
BY EDNA KENT FORBES.

A dark skin is attractive only II 1t is
very clear, a natural olive which goes
well with brown hair. A skin that Is
dark because 1t is muddy is very ugly
to look at. If you have a dark skin
and want to tighten 1t, try internal
methods first. You may need one Of
these new scientific irrigations-we Will
talk about them tomorrow-you may
need some sort of laxative and, I'M
doubtedly. a change OF diet.
Use some immediate method for
clearing the system. Castor oil or salts,
though somewhat drastic methods, will
act in two hours and should be taken
first thing in the morning before
breakfast. Most other laxatives should
be taken the night before. Besides
this, the amount of liquid in a diet
should be increased and the juice from
one to four oranges should be taken
each day until the skin is clear.
Meantime an extremely simple and
easy way to bleach the skin is to take
a cup of buttermilk, add enough fine
corn meal until you have a thick
creamy paste and then cover the face
with this. I would suggest that the
skin be cleaned first by rubbing 1t with
oil. This oil should be wiped off and
the skin given a thick coating of the
bleach. This should be rubbed gently
over the face and neck for 5 to 10
minutes ana tnen washed OIL with
warm water. If the skin is dry little
cold cream can be used afterWard.
The girl with fair skin Is another
problem q fair complexion is apt to
fade early unless the very best care is
taken. The purest CASTLE soap should
be used and never anything harsher. If
hard water must be Softened IL should
be done with oatmeal or almond meal.
Oil should be used for cleansing the
skin; at night thin film of the oil
should be left in the skin to prevent
dryness. The corners Of the eyes should
be watched carefully and at the first
appearance of wrinkles q massage
cream should be used.
L. MA double chin may be the re-
suit of flabby facial muscles; In that
case, all the tissues should be built up
so they will be firm and the skin taut.
Begin at the base Of the throat and
massage by using upward strokes, and
also those going around and around,
covering the entire throat even to the
back of the ears. Stroke out to the
point of the chin and upward over the
cheeks, taking care to lift all the facial
muscles. If there Is any sagging about
the mouth make strokes from the cor
ners up and around the cheeks toward
the temples. The aim is to lift and
also nouriSh the skin, so a fine cream
should be used with the massage. Cold
water will close the pores and tone the
skin, so it should always conclude the
treatment.

Of the petal should not be picoted.
Gather this and make the flower from
eight or more petals. If you like you
can use eight large petals along the
outside of the flower and seven smaller
ones in an inner circle. A large bead
or button is used to cover the center
where the petals meet. The cups are
made from slightly gathered petals
stitched to a band about an inch wide
