Doctor Grille. in Kansas City for
a regional meeting of the American
College of Surgeons, gave the adj

luncheon.
The decrease in chemical and physi.

Grille explained, and the activity of

Doctor Grille said. "He feels drowsy

among competitors. The activity of
his essential organs is letting down.
"Then the man can take thyroid
extract and his brain will be sharp

doesn't matter whose thyroid gland
makes the extract given to him; it is
exactly the same whether it comes

When making patch quilt the
patches must be cut out right If the
finished quilt is to look neat. Sewing
seams the same width is also very
important. These two points should
always be watched as work pro
crosses, to obtain good results, and
not have trouble after work is well
under way. Cut the patches from
accurate cut-out diagrams. The cut
out diagrams shown here are set
for the "Dresden Plate" and "Bas-
ket" quilts, and include allowance
for seams. Any width for seams
may be used but, always use the
same width in one quilt, to come ont
right. Directions for use are very
simple. Place cut-out on material so
the longest dimension follows the
weave. Mark outline with pencil and
cut out material carefully.
