QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Shoe RCnair

My husband, n very thin man, docs shoe repairing. When he does grinding he breathes considerable dust. am worried about the cffect of thls on his health, but he insists 1t won't harm him. (Mrs c. CD
 Answer-The dust is compara- lively harmless. A greater risk in such work Is inhalation of fumes Of carbon disulphid in cement used for applying invisible patches etc. Where this gutta-percha cement is used the ventilation should be free. The application of shoe dye is q hazard to the worker in Q poorly ventilated shop. Imperturbability ask if you will kindly repeat the gist of the suggestion you gave, of something the dentist can use along with q local anesthetic to safeguard (Mrs A. ID Answer-The suggestion offered by q good physician who has been called repeatedly to help dentists In trouble. is that the dentist should administer along with the local anesthetic. 1 1-2 grains of sodium amytal. This tends to ore. vent untoward effects from the no- vocaine or other local anesthetic and to render the patient imper- turbable.

Pc. tatoos are nil starch and should never bo eaton with protein such as moat, eggs, fish or fowl. Neither should bread or other Stnrehy food Do eaten with protein. Only vogo- tables and acid fruits should Do eaton with meat.
 This is the way Q young daugh. ter seolds her ma. It seems tho daughter has married and moved into Q moro pretentious nelghbor- hood and all her now acquaint- anccs arc out of tho stone ago and in tho hands of slick health and dict sharks who know how to give such persons tho eomplncont ideR that they know as much or n bit moro than ordinary doctors know about tho physiology of digestion.

It takes time and trouble to look neat and well.groomed but, if daintiness and beauty are your aims, tho time is well spent and the trouble worth while. Look around you at any social gathering and observe the women who are outstandingly attractive. Likely enough, a good deal of their beauty can be attributed to fault less grooming. Their white col lars and cuffs are clean and crisp, dresses carefully pressed and ac. cessories meticulously neat. Their examples are worth following.
 Put on clean lingerie and stock lngs each morning. Naturally, you'll have to spend little extra time washing but you'll feel so much better that you won't mind the trouble once you get used to 1t. See that shoulder straps r
 fit SO that they won't slide down and show.
 Rundown heels and dull, 1usty- looking shoes are the greatest sins against daintiness. Get yours shined often and be sure to place shoe trees in them the minute you take them of. Always air shoes before putting them away in the closet. Shoe laces must be washed and pressed frequently and new leather or rubber lifts put on whenever heels start to wear down in crooked rnshion.
 Next to shoes, hats are the most neglected accessories. They should be brushed and aired and their Things washed and pressed often enough to keep them fresh and al0an

One time, three winters ago. [ saw a Are on the Florida Keys.
 We had driven down from Mia mi in spite of the hot wave Never shall I forget that Sunday. 1t was about . thousand In the cellars # Miami has cellars.
 The Keys. # you have not been there, are not like the Thousand Islands, as many suppose. You do not hop from one fairy island to another, midst inlets, bays and channels. The road runs hotly and dryly between high tangles of trop- teal vegetation that almost com. pletely shut out the view.
 On you go, on and on. getting hotter and hotter as you near the tip, or at least we did, until en- durance ended. We passed almost no houses. Miles part were . few small frame cabins, but they were almost nil. Highway No. l, how. ever, concrete and smooth, makes the best of 1t. On 1t goes until I suppose 1t jumps off Into the Straits between Key West and Ha- vana.
 Danger in . Spark
 As we drove through high yell low grass or weeds. or whatever It was, as dry as finder. remarked that 1t would be terrible place for . ire. In such case 1t seemed impossible for any of the settlers A railroad runs the length of the Is little stoking and few sparks as annftAnolO Ra those level miles. There were no charred areas near the tracks. no marks of incipient contiagrations that usually outline tracks in dry country,
 My husbanl did not light Q cig- aret. Even, an ash licked on that tinder-bo might be fatal. We drove on, hoping to find q breath- ing spaee-which we did-in c com bination filling station and flower garden. The flowers and ferns and lacy branches were of coral. We got out, bought some eonch shells, coral and sponges, gave the car Q drink and finally turned back.
 Damage is Done
 We had passed almost no cars on the road down-none, I think. Returning. we passed two or three. One was q touring car loaded with tivo or six men-smoking.
 l walled, "oh, I hope they will bo careful" Ten miles more and We smelled smoke. Then we were In 1t, flames leaping around us and across the road. Red, ugly ire that toro itself lose in every direc. ton as though tho grass and trees had been saturated with kerosene.
 There had been no train. There had been no people. Only those cars We passed. Your guess is as good us mine. Cigaret? Yes, t must have boen, s1g
 Wo got through and left word with the first person we saw. 1 do not know what else happened. Were some people burned to death? It seemed very possible.
 All this travelogue leads in one direction, This year. Drought. Dry grass, Dry crops, Dry for- ests, Dry everything, Don't camp and leave embers about. Throw on water as you leave.

 He shivered with tho cold and wet. He looked about for some sort of shelter and, to bolster up his spirits that had dropped with the eerincss of the place, lighted a cignret. But the wet snow extin. guished the flame, so he stood whistling dolofully, his body braeed against D mausolcum, his hat pulled far down on his forehead.
 There was not another person in sight md the stiffness and loneli' ness began to get on Cons nerves. Weird stories he had read In the pnst, tales of murder and vam- piros, of dlsembodlod spirits, flashed through his memory and did nothing to add 10 his eheeri- ness and comfort.
