Adenoids Removed By Diathermy


 On a scouting trip recently was privileged to see more of the work of the outstanding protagonist of surgical diathermy, Dr. Lewis J. Silvers, of New York. It was seeing what this gifted surgeon was able to accomplish with diathermy that convinced me of the value of this method of removing tonsils some years ago. And it is things to his skill and patience as teacher that a great many other physicians have learned and now employ the diffi- cult technic in practice. That's why I refer to pr. Silvers as the protag-
 This time I found him treating a
 This time found hi mtreating a rather common but most annoying condition, called xanthoma-raised yellow plates or nodules in the skin, particularly upon the eyelids. These spots give a woman a good deal of annoyance and if she happens to be in 8 position where any slight blemish is embarrassing she may become obsessed and seriously up- set about it.
 The young woman seated herself in the chair, evidently having full confidence in the doctor. He deftly and painlessly injected 8 suitable local anesthetic under the skin Of the eyelid, then after 8 few mo- ments applied a monoterminal des- iccating current--NOT a spark- and dried upthe lesion. He followed the transvefse lines of the skin of the eyeIids. This the slight, almost invisible line of cicatrix will blend with the natural lines and leave no sign of the operation. The surgeon remarked that linear desiccation with the monoterminal current like that might be more satisfactory treatment for ptosis or sagging up- per lip than the ordinary plastic operation.
 Another interesting case was a child four years old, who sat in the chair like a little lady and passed prattle back and forth to doctor and mother while the doc- tor applied diathermy to her ton sils and to her adenoids. She sub mited to four or five successive ap- plication, and assured us all at the close of the seance that it had not hurt, only 1t made her gag some. Of course this child was a remark ably we'll trained child, but the demonstration proved that, in skilled hands, diathermy extirpation of the tonsils is not even formid- able for the patient. Alas, many hands are not so skilled, and many doctors are not so patient. But l dare say there are scores and scores of doctors who learned the technic under pr. Silyers, now using dia- thermy successfully and with uni form satisfaction to their patients.
 For adenoids, it offers a means of relieving the obstruction to breathing and removing the .obsta- cle to normal development of nose, teeth, jaw, chest and body, without the risk of major operation, gem eral anesthesia, possible hemorr- haze, possible abscess or exten- sion of infection and damage to ears. It serves excellently, too, to dispose of portions of adenoids left behind when the usual tonsil and adenoid operation is done.

"It's getting late" Elaine re- minded them.
 Listen, girls" Hortense ad- dressed the interested circle, "Elaine's come a cropper and she's keeping still about 1t. The three old members will back me on this We each had a chore to do during the summer and we all succeeded except Elaine. The stunt was to win a declaration of love from our first sweethearts-or, rather, from the male we first adorsd. The five grads succeeded, and SO did four of us here. But Elaine Chalmers flunked it. She didn't even try. For this reason I move she resign from the presidency"
 Elaine's face was white as the flashlight played on 1t. "aortense. you cat!" she said. You know I've accomplished enough to make up for 1t. This Annapolis senior was my second love. Why split a hair?" Hortense'S long green eyes mar rowed as they rested on her rival "We all kept to the letter of the contract. All but you, Elaine! Con- nie Ogdon had to vamp the Spanish elevator man in her aunt's Park avenue apartment, because that happened to be her first crush-' "Oh," spoke up one of the new girls, "how sweet! How utterly priceless! It's like Hilda Conk- lin's poem, I'm in love with the janitor's boy, and the janitor's boy | loves me!
 But Hortense was not to be di- verted. For several years she had been playing second fiddle to this Chalmers girl who was little bet ter looking, a little richer and lit- tie more dashing than herself. The time had arrived to even the score. "I happen to know that Elaine first fell in love when she was IF years old. It was with boy named John McNeill out in Ohio, next door to her mothers old home. She knows I know 1t, or she'd have rung in a substitute on us"
 Elaine said, "Hortense, you're a devil and pig. You know couldn't waste part of my precious vacation in that foul little town!"
 'Then resign" said Hortense calmly. "Play the game or quit"
 That's only fair, Elaine" said three serious voices almost in con- cert.
 The darkness held long mos ment of silence before Elaine's voice said defiantly, "No, I'll not resign. I'll go to Worthwhile for the fall vacation. There's nobody living in Grandfather's house but an old care-taker, and she's slightly cuckoo. But I'll go. Furthermore" she stated crisply, "I'll get my man."

 YOURSELF.

6NyyE EizE sEyZ5EE aie

The golden brown suntan of which you've been justly proud all summer simply isn't flattering with dark fall clothes. A black dress-always good September choice-loses a good deal of its glamor when skin that shows above it isn't white. Furthermore, this seasons dressy, feminine fashions call for rather fragile beauty that has no boisterous. outdoor look about it.
 Remember, of course. that 1t is bad idea to try to remove 8 coat of suntan too quickly. Use only mild bleaches and have a good deal of patience. The tan will dis appear soon enough anyway. You should be concerned mainly with the texture of your skin which, no doubt, isn't as attractive as it was in June before you started your campaign for copper tones.
 Skin Needs Food
 Plan to use a rich nourishing cream each morning as well as at night. When you have cleaned face and throat, smooth on a gen. erous layer of the heavier cream and, with batter or fingertips. pat upward and outward from base of the throat to hairline un- til some of the cream has been absorbed.
 When you have finished, re- move the remaining cream with soft tissues, apply a cold skin ton ic or plenty of ice water, and put on street makeup. At night, take off only the excess, allowing some of the cream to stay on while you sleep.
 If you use bleaching cream at night, put it on after nourishing cream has been applied, patted in and removed carefully. In the morning, the bleach takes the place of nourishing cream.
 Bleaching lotions often tend 10 make skin rather dry and, for this reason always should be followed by plenty of tissue cream.

home where men are welcome, but men look upon theirs as a sort of council house where the deep secrets for governing the tribe must be gravely subjected to masculine wisdom of the "elder statesmen" Probably the women will think of less creditable req sons for this male exclusiveness.
 3. A weakness may become source of strength if one decides to overcome 1t. In fact the fight to overcome our weaknesses gives us the strength of character. Many man who knows he has a strong weakness" for alcohol becomes active, not only in the fight for temperance but for all social morality because of this weakness. Without this he might have been entirely unipterested in the general good. The fight to overcome a feeling of inferiority, bashfulness, timidity, lack of self confidence or some physical handicap, Is often the thing that makes a man a success in life.

PARIS STYLES
By MARY rENTREss

Paris (UP)-Lanvin never fails to produce wearable clothes which, although less startling than those created by other houses, have a style and an air that is far more lasting.
 A two-piece woolen suit in black has a jacket partly of wool and partly of black kid skin. The entire front of the jacket is kid skin and two bands in back run from the shoulders to the edge of the jacket. The skirt, in con trast, is simply cut in black wool.
 Another two-piece black wool suit from the same house is for dressier occasions. The jacket has fiaring peplum which, has been corded and fnishsd in points. The skirt Is plain and is worn with g. blouse of ivory faille which has full, short sleeves which are edged in point ing as Is the neckline and the hem of the blouse.
 Extremely chic and comfortable is Lanvin's three piece suit ia beige wool. This costume consists of a simple tailored skirt and a sbort jacket. bslted only. in back where

1. It is partly because me- chemical talents tend strongly to be inherited and not altogether due to environment. If they were due entirely to environment, surely more of the great inventors would stimulate their sons to become inventors. It is also due to two other factors; first an inventor rarely marries an inventor and the children inherit as much from the mother as from the father; secondly. invention requires far more than mere mechanical abil- ity--it requires creative imagina- ton and persistence, etc, and no one son is likely to inherit the fathers complete combination of talents.

 You poor boy: So many differ ent angles may be considered in a situation such as you bring to my attention. First of all, am not quite sure what you term unfaith- ftil. If you have heard of your girl friend carrying on a little filtration, behind your back: one would hard ly cali that utlfaithful. That is merely woman's coquetry. If you know for absolute fact that she has fallen deeply in love with another man, then be good sport, speak to her about 1t. Possibly, 1t will prove only an infatuation, and she may realize later that she loves you. If, on the other hand, you know po- sitiveiy, that the girl you thought to be virtuous, has proven herself unworthy, then just pull yourself together, and cut your friendship with her definitely. It will hurt for d time, but better now than later on. DO not, however, jump at con- clusibfs. First. be sure that you know the true situation, before you deeide.-VITA VAIL

 Dear Frank: Yours is a problem which greater minds than yours or mine, Have failed to solve to the satisfaction of all concerned. It just can't be done. When you mar tisd you understood the lifetime bargain which you were entering into. That your wife no longer in- terests you, is not necessarily her fault. The young lady who holds your heart at present has the ad- vantage of youth, freshness, and the fact that you see her only in the office, and always dressed atrac- lively. Possibly after ten years of living as man and wife, she too would bore you, as you feel your wife does now. You may as well realize nov, that, when your reli- zion is involved, there is no turning

Pectin
 Friend suggests using pectin in making jelly, saying 1t produces better and more jelly for the same amount of fruit and sugar. Is 1t harmful? (M. M. S.) 5.
 Answer-It is wholesome enough, I'd prefer less jelly in the genuine than more of the make-believe.

 Answer-They can remove it more satisfactorily in the hospital than they could in the morgue or mortuary ball. Tn some cases the appendix is destroyed by the ab- Scess. But your doctor is your best friend.
