it? 1 am planning to get mar

band to wear q wedding ring

But remember, lady, that 1t
isn't your wish that is the first
thing to consider about this. but
your fiance's wish. Many men
object very much to wearing a
wedding ring. just as they don't
want to wear any other kind Of
ring. So first you must, please,
talk this over with your future
husband. and abide by his wish
about his wearing a wedding ring
Then if he says he'd like to
wear a wedding ring. you talk
about the kind and the width of
ring. You are the one who buys
the ring. but it is perfectly cor
rect. and very sensible, for you to
go together to choose the ring ne
prefers. When you make arrange
ments with the minister about
your marriage ceremony, you tell
him that you wish to have the
double-ring ceremony, and he will
instruct you about this form.

Treatment of
Anen7ia
BY LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.

BY LOGAN CLENDENING, M. ID.
Would you, at an early date,
write an article on pernicious ane-
mia? Is there a cure for it?"
writes A. ", Of Urbana, Ill.
Fifteen or more years ago, when
we all came back from the war
camp or front, as the case might
be-there was a great deal Of dis
cusSion Of a condition called per
niciouS anemia."
Why there should have been, I
do not rightly know; perhaps be-
cause we hadn't seen any of the
disease in the army-our patients
were too young-and we were tired
Of the endless discussions about
influenza, were glad to change the
subject and think about the
chronic diseases of middle-aged
people.
Out of Date
remember the discussions about
treatment-one person advocating
TRANSMISSION, the other condemning
it, the use of hydrochloric acid,
and arsenic, and removal Of the
spleen.
Well, those discussions are all
over now, quite out of date.
There is no discussion Of PERM
ciouS anemia any more.
In fact, there is no pernicious
anemia. A completely successful
treatment came along about 10
years ago and took the PERM
ciouS" out Of the name. In fact,
if the treatment is faithfully car
ried out it takes the "anemia"
out, too.
Last fall I heard the report of
physician who has charge of
q large hospital devoted to these
cases. He told of the condition
Of 500 people who had been on
the liver treatment for from five
to 10 years. Most of them were
entirely well; some of them had
died, but of automobile accidents,
or heart failure, or pneumonia,
or old age-not of the disease
itself, which Is years ago we con-
sidered inevitably fatal.
Now this is quite a remarkable
record. AS short a time as 10
years ago a patient who had
pernicious anemia went to the
doctor. and the doctor knew that
in spite of any treatment ne
could apply that patient would.
in all probability, be dead in
four years.
Now the patient can be assured
that if a simple, harmless treat
ment, entirely free from trouble
someness or discomfort, is carried
out. that death will be postponed
indefinitely.
New Generation
These things were well publ
cized 10 years ago. when this
treatment was first announced.
From my readers question. as
put at the head of this article, it
is evident that whole generation
has grown into the pernicious
anemia zone without knowing it.
1t was of no interest to them 10
The Washington times., 1936-01-13

years ago because they were not
at the dangerous age.

usually in the middle-age period.

Beauty
Erase Lines
Of Fatigue
By DONNA GRACE

The social life of a debutante
may sound like an enchanted
dream to young people who are
not gifted with wealthy parents
The first year Of any girls in,
production into society is indeed
pleasant and beautiful, provided
she has the physical endurance
and strength necessary.
Many of these girls try to de-
pend on the morning hours for
their rest and sleep, but there
is always the important call on
the telephone and a number OF
the usual Interruptions that
break into their rest, and then
it is time to battle and dress for
luncheon. So, she is not rested
quite enough, and before the sea-
son is half over, she i showing
the effects of the constant strain
she is going through.
The really bad part Of this so
cial life is that everything starts
so late. Dances never begin until
after II o'clock and it is generally
midnight before the fun is over.
Then, of course, some Of the dar-
ing ones go about to several al
fairs in one night, so it is usually
in the wee small hours when she
comes in.
We can't expect her to put her
hair in order under a net and
remove her makeup carefully as
she should. to protect her young
delicate skin. She is too sleepy
almost, to undress and put on her
nightgown.
This is the usual routine with
some few exceptions, so we'll
offer a few suggestions that will
help to keep the fatigue lines
from becoming set and per-
manent and to avoid the eye
puffs and circles that are so
likely to follow the lack Of rest.
First. there is the reminder to
avoid the very late parties when
ever possible. Then be sure to
drink plenty of water. Few
young persons overeat, but they
like to drink tea and sodaS anu
almost anything but water.
Make it a rule to drink a glass
of water and unsweetened lemon
juice the first thing every morn
ing. Then, instead of the usual
sodas or cocktail during the day.
drink a lemonade and the half
lemon and water before going to
sleep. This will do a great deal
to eliminate waste and keep the
skin clear and eyes sparkling.
Use ice cold water to splash
on the face and neck every
morning. Then dry the skin
using upward strokes, and follow
this with a light stroking of
soothing cream. An oily cleans
ing cream will do for this.

"This summer she came back

This is a risk you've got to take,

It's a question in my mind if a
boy can legally marry at the age
of 10, in your State. And it would
certainly be much more sensible
if you defer your marriage for a
