CLINICAL TRIAL AND ERROR

CLINICAL TRIAL AND ERROR
 A clinic is a fine place for the tyro to get his hand In and enjoy the advantage of actual experience before he launches into practice for himself. A clinic affords the doc tors who conduct 1t considerable liberty in advertising which Is still unethical for the private practi- tioner. I don't mean honest ad- vertising, such as a business firm buys. l mean publicity which q shrewd group can get free.
 The head of the nose and throat department of the best advertis- ed clinic of them all reports in an official bulletin that there were 909 throat operations in the clinic in 1882, and explains that more than 60 per cent of the patients who presented themselves in the nose and throat department had had satisfactory tonsil operations before they came to the clinic."'
 Ono wonders what brought them to the nose and throat department "The number of tonsillec- fomies decreased considerably. There are many reasons for this. The principal one fs that
 the tona1 operation is being
 well done throughout the
 country"
 This ought to make the piker private practitioners feel fattered.
 Then the chief pins back his ears and gets off some droll humor:
 There is in use, although
 the method is fortunately on
 the wane, a method of electro-
 coagulation of the tonsil. There
 seems to be no logical basis for
 the method. It Is as danger
 ous as surgical removal, and
 the discomfort Is extended over
 long period. It Is supposed
 to be bloodless, but apparent
 ly 1t Is not bloodless. In the
 nose and throat section we
 have never observed patient
 whose tonsls have been entire-
 ly removed by electrocoagula-
 ton.
 I have received hundreds of re- ports from people throughout the country who have had experience on the receiving end of one method or the other. Too many of these reports tell of fatal results from the standard surgical tonsillcctomy. Never have I heard of a fatality from clectrocoagulatIon though I have received not q few reports of unupleasant experiences with the modern method in the hands of in- competent physicians.
 As for this clinic employees in- situation about "entire removal of the tonsils. there the man be- trays his narrow outlook. He if

Foods do influence mouth health. Some persons, denying this, will name individuals having good teeth in spite of their care- lessness in choosing foods.
 Professor Bunting of the Uni- versity of Michigan explains this fact in this way; There is a small percentage of the population, about five per cent, that is immune to dental decay just as some are immune to other diseases. These immune people can eat plenty of sweets and fail to eat healthful foods and yet have no trouble with their teeth. But - between 80 and 90 per cent of Americans are thought to have teeth that are liable to decay if their diet Is neg lected. These people = Mir Aver age Man and woman, and particu- llarly boys and girls--must not risk

That may have been good practice in the gay nineties but l venture to say that few good physicians today share the belief. Not only scien- tific theory but actual experience has amply shown that the removal. destruction or diginfection of the septic focus in the tonsil Is all that is required.

Sister Mayy,S Kitchen
BY SISTER MARY NEA Service Staff Writer

NEA ServlCc SNtII WF1tcT Popovers offer & happy change from the mullins and rolls usu- ally served at luncheons and
 breakfasts. Strangely enough,
 however, they bespeak an un-
 known realm to many a housewife and sch hesitates to include them
 in her menus. Yet the secret Of delicate popovers lies in the sim- pie and easily controlled factor
 temperature.
 The materials--milk, flour, eggs and salt--required to make pop | overs always are at hand. If an emergency arises, it's an easy mat ter to stir up dozen of these fas- cinating shells and they are sure to be liked.
 Popping" Explained When the physical change that takes place during the baking of popocers is understood the mys- tery of their "popping" becomes clear. Milk contains a large per- centage of water and the sudden application of intense heat to the popover batter causes the water rapidly to change to steam. Steam
 is, of course, many times the vol ume of water and stretches the gluten walls of the flour to their utmost. This with the help of the egg forms the hallow shell of the | popoyer. This explains the neces-
 sity of pre-heating both the pans and the oven.
 Iron of cast aluminium gem pans and glass or earthenWare custard cups are suitable for popover bak- ing. The lighter weight gem pans
 canbe used, but the popovers do
 not ayways "pop" as they should.
 You will find popovers an un-
 usually versatile Dreadstuff. They
 can be used as a case for creamed
 chicken or fish in place of the
 usual timbale shell or patty case.
 Creamed dried beef served in pop
 evers is a bit more festive than
 plain dried beef. Used for dessert
 with filling or with q sauce
 poured over them they reduce the
 amount of sugar In the menu to an appreciable degree. Popovers piping hot from the oven served with fresh maple syrup make
 deliciously seasonal early spring dessert.
 The following rule will make 12 popovers of two-inch iron gem pan
 size.
 POpOyers
 Two eggs, cup bread flour,
 1 scant cup milk, Ia teaspoon salt, 1-2 teaspoon melted butter. Mix and sift flour and salt. Add
 milk gradually, beating to make
 sm ooth. Beat eggs until light and
 add first mixture. Beat with the
 dover bcater for two or three
 fninuets. Heat muffin pans until
 hissing hot and grease thoroughly. Fill each pan half full with pop
 over batter and place at once in the hot oven. Bake for 20 minutes
 at this temperature, then lower the heat to $50 degrees F. and con- tinue baking for 20 minutes long
 CT. Turn off heat and let stand in the oven for five minutes. Serve at
 once. re-heat the oven to 45O de- grces Y.
 Laplanders are more trouble to
 make but are very delicate and crisp. Two cups of milk and 2
 teaspoons melted butter are used
 and the whites and yolks of the eggs are beaten separately. The
 whites are folded in last.
