 According to doctors opinion and electro-cardiograph I have angina pectoris, the coronary artery being somewhat thickened and occluded. am sixty years old. Advised to un- dergo operation to cut of blood sup ply to the thyroid gland. CT. J. B.
 Answer-That method of treating certain heart diseases is as yet in the experimental stage. I do not be- ieve it is advisable in such 8 condi- tion as you describe.
 Certified Milk
 Is bottle of Certified Milk marked ITO be used Monday" good on the following day? I drink only a pint day, so usually I get it only every second day. Miss L. W.)
 AnSwer-I should prefer it to any other grade of milk kept cold that long. A large Certified Milk dairy in California has shipped Certified Milk as far as London, England, of course in cold storage Temperature a degree or two above freezing) and the consumer in London found it apparently as satisfactory as the food had been when she had wis., ited California.

Paris Styles

Limited Press Staff Correspondent
 Paris (UP)-Seldom has millinery been as fantastic as this season. Hats vary from the halo variety to the tall felt, trimmed with 8 splash of feathers, which looks like a cross between a field marshals hat and that worn by the Italian Bersag- lieri. In between the two are the dunce caps with pointed crowns, the narrow a nd long little toques which are shaped like cocks comb, the tricorne, the larger and fiatter beret and the brimless little round caps which it on the back of the head.
 Stiff quills dyed to a bright shade, cockades of feathers, wings of plumes and sometimes entire small birds trim many hats while stiff little wells enhance dressier models. Clouds of tulle are placed about bows on the crowns of Moly- neux's tiny little caps, while other small toques are made up entirely of feathers. Taking all in all, there is such variety in shape, type, coloring and trimming that a wo- man can put almost anything on her head and find that 1t fits into some sort of millinery category for l9S5.
 Two sweeping birds with spread wings trim one black toque, while a medieval hat with high pointed crown hes 6 long lace or embroid- cred net veil.

PARENTS

How about gifts and givers? Every mother of young chil- dren wants this question an- swered.
 Is a child never to be told that some of his most wonderful pres ents come from Grandpa Smith or Aunt Lucy Brown?
 And is that bright coverlet mother is surrepitiously knitting for Janie's bed-one she wishes her daughter to keep all her life, and her children after her - is it to go down to posterity as a dona- tion from Santa Claus?
 Perhaps this is carrying it too far, because when Jamie is seven or eight she will know the truth. But wouldn't the little girl thrill at the moment the tissue is off, to know that her mother had made it all for her? Of course.
 There's grandpa, for instance, who spent five dollars and drove a hundred miles and caught cold to get the particular type of wagon "all the kids had" Is he to stand there and watch Tommy scream with delight over the treasure Santa squeezed through the steam pipe? Stand there with Tommy's eyes on him, question ing eyes (for children know peo- pie give gifts to each other) and as Grandpa feels, accusing eyes, because the best friend he has in the world has forgotten him?

Your Children
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

1 Lois rushes over to her and shows her the beautiful coat and hat Santa Claus" left for Annabelle, her new doll?
 Do you know, I don't believe children care a snap how MUCH Santa Claus brings as long as he fills the stockings with nonsense, puts up a tree and leaves a few small things lying about? I mean as far as he himself goes. Cer- tainly they want presents and write him letters as long as the moral law, but usually they are primed beforehand. They know they won't get the whole consign- ment that things have to be split up in this world anyay.
 There is no sense in being sold on the idea that nothing is ap- preciated by the child unless it has had a sleigh rdie through the sky. So, mothers, make 1t fifty fifty with an easy conscience. if you are worried.
 Youngsters see the hurry and hustle, the boxes and packages being whisked away, the whis- pering and shushing. And they like 1t.
 What for-all this-if nobody but Santa Claus is to surprise them?
 Gifts Establish Fond Relationship They love to shiver and peep. They love to guess and be showed out. They love bright packages under the tree, to pull off strings and discover what friends and relatives have sent in.
 Children give presents. How proud is small Lois when she hands Aunt Lucy bottle of per- funnel Why, should Aunt Lucy be branded as stingy when she is so hungry for her niece's love? Yes, Christmas is for children, but it is for grown-ups, too. And best of all, it is for both-to es- tablish relationships of friendli- ness and love between them, grat- itude and appreciation and all the rest.
 Two weeks after Christmas. I've noticed. children seldom speak of Santa Claus. He is a stranger. They don't know him, and he's gone back to the stars. But they'll remember who gave them what when a real being of flesh and blood has presented 1t. All their lives they will remem- Der. (Copyright, 1885, NEA Service, IncO

no evidence that the substances which can be derived from the germ of the wheat are missing from the diet, if the diet is fairly well balanced and varied.
 If you like white bread, there fore, there is no reason why you should not eat it.
 If the Savages do not perish of cancer, the reason is that they do not live long enough to die of this disease. Cancer is essentially a dis ease of advanced years.
 Civilized man has life expect ancy at birth, of 60 years; the sav- age has Q life expectancy at birth of about 35 years. Most of the peo- pie who die of cancer are more than 45 years of age.

.BEAUTY-- GIorNing
 Yourself
By Alicia Hart

According to advance news, the SmarteSt women at fashionable southern resorts this winter will wear finger and toenail polish which matches their npstick. When a girl starts out to spend day on the beach, she'll cover her throat and face with greaseless Suntan To- tion, omit rouge and powder and depend on lipStick and nail polish to make her look interesting.
 One lucky woman who expects to go to Florida for January and Feb ruary is laying in 8 supply of pol- ishes and lipsticks in all sorts Of exotic shades.
 "I'll have plenty of time to beautify myself, so I'm planning to use different shade of polish and lipstick every day." she says. I'm taking rosy reddish tones to use for the firsht few weeks. and East Indian, orange shades to wear later on when my skin has become brown"
 Remember, of course, that sum- tan oil or lotion should head the list of beauty preparations you'll need for the south. A rich tissue cream, a good hand lotion and something to use on your hair sev- eral times Q week must be next. Then use your imagination to pick cosmetics that will help you to dramatize your best features.
 If you are overweight. begin right now to lose a few pounds, so you,ll look slim and attractive in your new bathing suits. If you wave, plan reconditioning treat are going to get Q permanent ments and increase the amount of time you spend brushing your hair each day.

IF ONLY HE THAT READS
 WOULD THINK

Whenever I venture to suggest painting 8 bruise or swelling with iodin or applying liniment for relief of ache or pain I am pretty certain to receive little shower of sarcastic comments from readers who have not yet learned to think. Have l changed my m1nd, or have I made a slight slip? If nothing is absorbed through the unbroken skin, etc., etc.
 There are two kinds of reading, both beneficial. One is reading for entertainment. For this purpose prefer 8 good murder mystery-and I don't mean detective story. I esti- mate that for every six dozen detec- tive stories there is one good murder mystery. It's hard hunting, too. Some people have strange tastes and go in for poetry, history, biography, travel, science or what have you. The other kind of reading is for self improvement. I'd classify history, biography, travel, science in this category. He who runs may read for entertainment. He who reads for Self-improvement must think, and he should do good deal more thinking than just what the book says. He should debate and ques- tion anything and everything the book says, if it is not perfectly ob- vious. Otherwise he is only going through the motions and not getting anywhere.
 That's the trouble with many of these readers who hasten to call my attention to such inconsistencies in my column. They don't think-or rather they seem to think I don't think. But my stars, you have no idea how much I think. Sometimes get to thinking SO far away that people around me think I'm nutty.
 People always do think person who thinks is bit crazy.
 A young medical colleague, I mean 8 real doctor, who gives me some of the best suggestions pass along to you dumb laymen, now offers pre- scription for a crackerjsck liniment for backache, lumbago, pleurisy, muscle strains, joint pains, SprainS, bronchitis, and divers aches and pains where the cause is not known. Then he adds one more indication which disheartens me but now that I've gone so far I'll have to mention it-acute chest colds. This youngster tells me he plays tennis five days a week in the season, bowls all winter, rides horseback, and so on, and he is now 65 years old. I hope when he grows up he'll learn that there is no such illness as "cold". But never mind that now. Here's the liniment: For Adults:
 Oleum Sinapis (Oil of Mustard)
 IS drops
 Oleoresina Capsici (Cayenne
 peppeo ............. 10 drops
 AdepS Lanae Hydrosus (hydrous
 wool fat) ........ One ounce
 Directions:
 Apply a small amount, with
 moderate rubbing twice daily,
 followed by heat.
 When using such hot liniment be careful to wash your hands immedi- ately afterward before they uncon- sciously touch your eyes.
 I should not advise such strong liniment for children. Camphor lin- iment (camphorated oiD is better for them. Dissolve one ounce of coarse powdered camphor in four ounces of warmed cotton seed oil or olive oil. Apply it over chest and

New Prints

 Palm Beach collections never have been so colorful.

No other type of doll has ever remotely approached that exalted place in the child's affection, long held by the rag doll. Just why this is so, Is hard to say, but it was true when our mothers were little girls and it is equally true today.
 Any child would adore this hap py-faced pair, who measure about 90 inches in height when complete. They have . double appeal too for their names are Jack and Jill, and this aIlusi0n to that beloved nursery rhyme will make them more endearing.

As people we have been fairly cursed with faddiStS. We have edu- cational cults, faith healing cults, religious cults, and nobody knows how many more peculiar promo tional systems.
 And there are dietry faddists who belivo that eating of more white bread, more wheat, more fruit, or more raisinS is necessary to a healthful life.
 To be sure, the starchy foods, wheat, corn, rice, and potatoes, are useful sources of food for the body. Bread, especially give feeling of satisfaction, following its eating, that is important in any suitable diet.
 Those who live sedentary lives, or do not use their muscles much, should not be urged to eat much more carbohydrates than is neceS- sary for them. If they eat more, they are likely to become fat.
 But we need not tell such per- sons that eating white bread will uoison them of give them cancer, because they themselves know that fhey have been eating this type of tread for a good many years!
 Notwithstanding this fact, how ever. a half-dosen of our modern faddists insist that civilized man develops cancer because he eats white bread, instead of whole wheat.
 we alI know that whole wheat bread contains ingredients which are not found in white bread. The germ of the wheat supplies min- erals and vitamins which are elisn- mated from white flour.
 Yet few. if any. Americans live nn white bread alone, and there 70

Today's Health Question

e3~SN@~-A
 Q-Will you kindly tell me the cause of white spots on finger nails? Does 1t mean anything in relation to my health?
 A-White spots on fingernailS are due to pressure of air be- tween the layers of the nail. This condition occurs most frequently in association with accidents, but the spots do occur without any apparent cause.
 The fingernails change in re- lationship to diets, and in long illness they may stop growing for a short time; this forms white line when the nails start to grow again.

REMOTE CONTROL OF ALASKA

lot of things in Alaska not to the liking of many Alas kans would be in far better state there not much remote control applied to this Empire of the Golden North
 wider measure of self government and home control of Alaskan affairs would witness few changes for the betterment of the north:
 With limited authority under the organic act the Alas ka legislature has the authority deal with certain matters The Federal government virtually makes Alaska ward of that government in other matters
 In way it is fortunate that Uncle Sam holds grip Alaska and guides her by the hand until she is vouchsaed statehood and deemed able to walk alone her feet
 But with all the good intentions of the administration and the soul at the head of the there too outside interests that seek shape things in Alaska and ercise influences upon the federal administration. Too often is the government steered up blind alley
 While the federal government does hold control it will be wise precauton that it have competent representatives stationed in Alaska and undertake major movements without thorough survey and Investigation Too many big interests the states rush Washington to advise respect ing Alaska The federal government sometimes dispatches agents Alaska to make tour of investigation. The terri tory is vastequa in to several European countries
 that often those agents make hurried cruise of the main of the erritoy-are wned ned and told they good fellows and then go back to report Millions of gov ernment funds often involved in the reports.
 It would be better if the government first dispatched competent experts made long and careful surveys and when they did get off right and in way not to react with loss to the nation or charges of ncompetency
 Some of the massive expenditures contemplated for tona defense of Alaska should not be laid in particular locations until such examinations and studies made Establishment of army and other air bases might be cited
