HelpGiven
To Asthma
Sufferers
BY JAMES w. BARTON, M. d.

A STHMA is such distressing all
ment that physicians everywhere
are seeking and often finding the
cause or causes in many cases, so that
the "hopelessness" Of former years Is
gradually disappearing.
Thus it was found that certain
dusts, pollens from plants, the fur
or feathers of animals were the causes
in some cases.
Other cases were found to be due
to certain growths, or deformitieS, in
the nose; with the removal or cor
rection of these conditions the attacks
were stopped.
Thus the Asthma Research Council
has issued an illustrated booklet on
the treatment of asthma by exercises.
The object of treatment is to restore
the lungs and chest to normal size
or to prevent diStenSion of the chest
from occurring. Ordinary breathing
exercises, the object of which Is to
increase the expansion of the chest.
is already capable of expanding the
chest to his fullest extent.
If an asthmatic patient is. told to
breathe deeply his respiration is al
most entirely in the upper chest; in
chronic cases the lower parts of the
chest is already fully expanded and
there is thus little If any movement
in it as the diaphram-the muscular
floor Of the chests used to only q
slight extent.
The body should be held loosely with
the arms by the sides. The patient
should face a mirror so that he can
watch the effect of the exercises on
his chest. The exercises are mainly
exhaling or blowing the breath out
of the chest and the patient helps
to expel or drive out the air with
his hands pressing on lower part Of
the chest.
When the exercises are performed
properly they should cause wheeling
and often coughing as the air Is all
driven out.

Explaining
Rules for
Doubters
Guests Have Queries
Which Relate to
Minor Duties.
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. PosT-You printed
an answer in this column. that
when the hostess pours after-dinner
coffee in the living room she does this
very much as she would pour after
noon tea. Do guests walk to her
when there is no servant to take the
filled cups to them. and at the same
time help themselves to sugar? And
efter coffee. how would she serve the
liquors? It's all so confusing to
know how to adapt amenities to
which one has always been accus-
toned to the necessary simplicity OF
today"
Answer-When you sit at the coffee
table people naturally group them
selves around you. You pour out
several cups of coffee. And then ask
the oldest or the most important or
the one you know least we'll. How
much sugar do you take?" She an
swers: mo coffee, thank you" OF
"one." You put one lump in the
coffee and hand it to her. Or one
who is nearer to you hands it to
her. And then you ask the others.
If an elderly lady Is across the room
q younger woman usually offers to
take the coffee to her-or else you
take it to her yourself. Otherwise
those at a distance come to the table
to get their coffee. Then a few
moments later. liquors are served the
same way-probably from the same
tray.
Dear Mrs. Post-I am a paying
guest in a family that has a cook
and a combination chambermaid and
waitress. Am I expected to tip
them because of the extra work !
naturally make in the house? I
teach school and haven't much
money. certainly none to be unneces-
sarily liberal with"
AnSwer-You would tip exactly as
you would in any hotel or boarding
house. Naturally, the tip would be
in proportion to your means, and to
the service rendered. About per
cent of your bill, or possibly as little
as per cent-if given with grace
would be adequate.

to know what you want in a wife. Too
young to know what real love is.
And a young man married is a
young man marred. II you burden
yourself with a wife at 10 you will
never have a chance to get on in the
world. 1t will take all you make, and
more, to support wife and children
and you will have to work at any
little job you can get because you
will never be free to hunt better one.
Don't do it, son. If you have no re-
gard for your parents, have some pity
on yourself.
DOROTHY DIX.
DEAR DOROTHY DIX-Our club
has been discussing the case OF
the extremely wealthy and attractive
young woman who has Just married a
middle-aged man, when she might
have had the choice of so many hand
some young shiekS. Do you not think
this girl will tire of the husband who
is so much older than she is, as soon
as the glamour of capturing sopfis
ticated man of the world has worn Of
and will she not then yearn for
husband of her own age?
CONSTANT READERS.
Answer-The matter of age is, OF
course, a very important consideration
in marriage. yet it does not depend
upon calendar age, but spiritual age
mental age. If a girl is a play-girl
if she is frivolous in disposition, as
many girls are; if she is dress crazy.
party crazy, and wants to live in
wild whirl of gayety forever going
places and doing things, then she
should marry not only boy of her
own age, but one who is as fond of fun
and dancing as she is.
A GIRL of this type Is miserable
married to a middle-agad ma
and she is equally miserable if she is
married to a man Of her own age
who Is of a sober, serious disposition
and who wants to sit by his flreSide
of an evening, instead of stepping ou'
to night clubs.

Paris says that this year wells will
be the banner of chic on most smart
hats. Three-quarters Of the hats
found in the best shops are orna-
mented with wells used in various
ways. There are wheel wells, perched
on top of toques, fashioned auto
mobile wells which float back from
wide -brimmed hats. Wells streaming

room. Pale colors, such as sand or
faWn, are much used, with the only
relieving note found in a single orna-
ment or vase of flowers.
OUCH a room is eminently charm
- ing and strangely reStful to the
majority of us who lead such hurly-
burly and too colorful existence The
pale coiorS, of course, are not very
practical for the household where
dogs and children hold sway, but
some of the darker tones may be used
very effectively and not show quite
so much of the wear and tear"
In a plain, simple dining room the
modern atmosphere can be easily at
tanned. The room, as matter of
fact. is mostly a foil or setting for
the table. and if the table is well
done with modern style the rest of
the room will absorb the feeling.
And there are so many lovely
things from which to choose! Square,
stubby glass candlesticks that look
like inkWellS, but which catch all the
colorS of the rainbow when properly
lighted; adjustable, half circle candle
holders of chromium, so arranged
that four or eight candles may be
used in a variety of decorative
schemes. Solid silver service plates,
oblong in shape, with solid silver but
ter plates to match them. Square
crystal ash trays-square crystal
plates--So simple and so beautiful
that one longs to own them all.
MANY of the new linens feature
4'A polka dots in colors on a white
background, and these are particu-
larly good with the square and oblong
dishes, for some reason. I suppose
that the round dots do something to
rest the eye from the inevitable
straightness of line predominant
everywhere else. In the same way a
round, blue mirror clock as big as
dinner plate is welcome note in a
modern ROOM Its hands are chromium
and the numerals are indicated by
knobs of chromium.
Personally, I like the modernistic
trend immensely. 1t is fresh and
simple and gives one sense of har-
mony and SmoothneSs. But, as I said
before. don't let angles get the better
of your judgment-remembe that
thing must be beautiful as well as
stylish" and that unless that is true
it will not weather the stress and
strain of changing modes and fancies.
The various periods" in decoration
and furniture are still our standards
because they have definite beauty and
proven worth.

This little boy has gotten into the
habit of whining. The thing he has
is not what he wants. What he can
do is not what he wants to do. There
is no satisfying him. The only thing
he seems to want to do, and does most
successfully. is cling to his mother s
skirts and whine. 1t is one OF the
indications of a tendency to remain
an infant and keep mother to her
task of tending the baby. 1t must
not be allowed to make headway.
The best way to avoid whining is to
schedule the day so that child knows
pretty we'll what he is going to do,
and when. He gets his meals at set
times, he rests. he plays, he Is taken
out for an excursion at set times. The
routine soon sets habits and makes
adjustments that do away with the
whining because the little one is
trained to adjust himself daily. hourly
to his environment. Such training
prevents boredom. clinging and their
expression, whining.
When child whines for anything
attention, a favor-he is refused 1t
decisively. If this treatment is con-
sistently administered, he learns that
whining brings him nothing Cheer
fulness, obedience to the daily pro-
gram, brings cheerful cooperation

in its train. Whining brings loneli-
ness, exclusion and no privileges.

ness. treats, general joy. This takes
only little f1rmness in the beginning.
a consistent attitude toward the child
always, and makes life very much
more pleasant for the child and the
family.
Usually whining begins with illness.
The child does not feel we'll and cam
not get about his business with any
degree of content. An ailing child
should get immediate attention, rest,
quiet and, if needful, medical atten-
ton. But even an ailing child should
be trained not to wall and moan and
take on generally as though he had
lost his last friend He can be taught
to bear his troubles with some degree
of cheerfulness, or. at least, without
whining.
Experience is the best teacher. If
a child gains nothing by whining he
will not whine, sick or well. 1t is an
unfortunate habit and needs to be
curbed at the start.

Plain Table
Cookery Is
Developing
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

TABLE cookery has grown in popu-
larity in the servantless house.
A whole new set of utensils is re-
quired, but If bought one at a time
the cost is so divided that little If
any strain comes on the purse strings
Also many Of the utensils are mex
pensive, such as the ordinary toaster,
the sandwich toaster, waffle irons,
etc., for solid foods; and coffee perco-
lators and pots of similar kind for
beverages.
There are small grills, or fiat toast
ers, on which it is possible to boil
water and cook rasher or so of
bacon, boil eggs and even pan broil
a chop or two, or do bit of cookery
which reminds one Of play days. how
ever practical it is. There is an ele-
ment of interest about table cookery
done in the company of others
which is partly responsible for its
vogue.
The success of table cookery de-
pends on attention to time as well as
to proper ingredients. While this is
true of range cookery also, the heat
of a range can be regulated more
easily than that Of table cooking
equipments. The advantage of rapid
cooking is appreciated when the
family or guests are seated in readi-
ness to partake of the food just as
soon as it is done. The person do
ing the cooking finds quick heating
and sustaining of temperature OF the
appliance is q great advantage.
Slow cookery is not for table
cooked edibles. It is often wise to
start the cooking before the persons
are called to the table in order to
prevent restlessness. It is hampering
to feel hungry folks are too eagerly
watching and waiting for food to
uuell the appetites stimulated by the
delicious odors from the steaming hot
dish.

EAR MISS DIX am not
yet 10 years old, but want
to marry. The girl is a
year older than ! am and Is
willing, but my parents are
not, giving as reason that I am
too young and am not able to make
a living. cannot deny this. What
do you think I should do?
PUZZLED DICK.
Answer-There isn't but one honor
able and decent thing you can do.
and that Is to put off marrying until
you can support family. Providing
for his wife and children is mans
own responsibility, and he has no
right to dump that on anybody else's
shoulders.
CERTAINLY a boy has very little
~ self-respect or manhood about
him If he marries a girl and brings
her home for his parents to support,
and he is a still more abject and
despicable creature when he becomes
q parasite upon his Wife's people.
Bitter Is his bread. for he knows it Is
given grudgingly, because when a girl
marries, her father and mother have
not counted on her foisting a SON.
in-law on them to feed and clothe.
Try to look at this matter from
your parents point of view and see
what a rotten deal you are giving
them If you marry before you can
provide for a family Ever since
you were born they have worked hard
to take care Of you and give you the
best advantages they could possibly
afford They have made many sacri-
fees to educate you and to give you
chance in life. They have given
you better clothes than they had
themselves. They have stayed at
home so that you could have little
trips. They have been glad to do
all this for you because they loved
you and wanted you to have better
chance in life than they had them
selves.
RUT they are human, and they have
been looking forward to the time
when their children were reared and
on their own feet, when they could
slack down and take things more
easily, and when they could spend
their income on the little treats and
luxuries that they have denied them
selves. They looked forward to hav-
ing some rest and ease in their old
age. But if you marry and bring a
wife home for them to support, and
If there are children that you cannot
take care Of, then you simply send
your parents back into slavery; that is
all the harder for them, because they
are not strong and young any more
Yet many boys and girls do this.
Because they think they are in love.
and because they are not willing to
deny themselves the qualification Of
their desires. and wait until they can
support their own families, they rush
into marriage and bring their husbands
and wives home for father and mother
to take care Of And father has to
work harder than he ever did before
because instead of having just John
to support he has Johns wife and chill
dren. And in mothers old age she is
turned into nothing but nurSemaid
for her grandchildren.
YOU are Staying all Of the hopes and
L ambitions they have centered in
you and killing all the peace and
happiness of their later years. And,
believe me. son, you will bring misery
on yourself as well as your parents.

I use at night. 1t calls for 46 grams
sweet almonds, 16 grams cloves, l6
grams nutmeg, 8 ounces alcohol. 80
grams gum arabic, 80 grams ben
zoin. 80 grams incense and one-half
ounce rose water. Is this too strong
for my skin? Do you think my skin
would be better If I used almond Oil?
I wash my face at bedtime with green
soap and hot water. then pat on the
above wrinkle lotion. l am wondering
what my face will look like when 1 am
so years old. Please help me.
A FARMERS WIFE.
Answer: You are too young to have
wrinkles all over your face. If you
will take proper care of yourself you
will have a smoother, clearer skin at
so than you have now. In the first
place you should have a thorough
physical examination by a doctor to
see If you are organically sound; do
this, even though you may think you
are in good health. People in middle
life should make a habit of having
such an examination once year. You
are more than 20 pounds below the
average weight for your age and
height. I suppose you are of a nat
urally slim build. but even so you
should gain at least 10 pounds. This
will do more than anything else to-
ward making your skin smoother.

THE wrap-around house dress is
the one women love most of all.
Besides being universally be-
i coming it excels in wealth of
other advantages. Notice this
one and see for yourself the features
that make it appealing. Its lines are
long and slender with only few
seams and just darts enough to pro-
duce q casual fit. The neckline is
finished with rolled collar. Neckline
treatments of this type present
crisp, fresh appearance, especially
when stiffened with thin starch.
The construction of this dress is
very much like that of coat. Three
buttons keep it closed at the waist
line and the underneath side is held
up by tapes coming from the side
seam on the right. The sleeves ere
set-in so all possibility of strain is re-
moved. Another practical advantage
Is that it opens out fat for ironing.

COMMUNITY RECREATION

As member of the recreation committee of our Community Cen ter 1 attended the semi-annual meeting last night, to discuss pulp lie recreation plans for the coming summer. Although we are not q wealthy community we believe strongly in play for everybody, and we rather pride ourselves on the number and quality of our play facilities.
 don't think many small towns can beat our park, our public golf course, our athletic field with its space for baseball, tennis, handball and a half dozen other games. and last but not least our swim ming pool. We have tried to pro- vide for, every age and every taste. Moreover, for the past three years we have had trained recreation leader who has organized the games and sports for our boys and girls.
 During the first part of the meeting we discussed arrange ments for new equipment, includ- ing q second sand pile and wading pool for the youngest children. We talked over necessary reparis and general preparations for the open ing of the various recreation cen ters. We also made plans for a Play Day for the children early in May. and for a water carnival later in the summer. Like most communities we have few people who are oustandingly god at some sport and we are duly proud Of them as our local champions, but most of our time and energy goes

 What is it Tell me more about her"
 I've already told you all know. She's engaged in one of those rack ets-numerology, or astrology or something of that sort"
 But" Millicent said, they're all of them different. She isn't proficient in all of them, is she ?"
 'I think she's just an adventur- ess," Norman said. "One of those racketeers who go around looking for people to victimize."
 What makes you think that ?"
 Because of the funny things that happen. Every time Cynthia gets in touch with this woman there's some unusual and unpleas- ant development"
 Cant you tell me more clear ly'
 There's nothing much to tell. The woman comes here and has a seance with Cynthia. I don't know just what goes on. Whatever 1t is, 1t leaves Cynthia all exhausted. She takes to her room and stays there. Her personal maid is posted at the door with orders to admit no one and the door is locked. and kept locked. It's some time next day before Cynthia will see any one. Then she comes staggering out, looking white and drawn. She hasn't eaten. and she doesn't look as though she'd slept"

 Then she does goofy things. She
