nature. If, however, they have been prescribed by the doctor for use according to his directions, they should always be kept safely, to avoid any possibility of error in their use.
 Among the oldest of the sleep producers is opium and its chief principle, morphine. These products now can be prescribed only by a doctor licensed under the Harrison anti-narcotic law. The mildest of the opium preparations is one called codeine.
 Cocaine today is used chiefly in relation to products called local anesthetics which are injected un- der the skin or into the nerves to stop the passing of sensation.
 Among the older sleep producers are the bromides, now available in many forms. They are used chiefly to quiet the spasms and convulsions associated with epilepsy, but the dose and the intervals of taking them must always be regulated by the doctor.
 Bromides used to be the chief ingredients of patent medicines sold for epilepsy.
 Today most patent medicines sold for that purpose contain a deriva- tive of barbituric acid called pheno- barbital.
 There are many other derivatives of barbituric acid, varying in strength or toxicity and poisoning character, such as veronal, trional, nembutal, ipral and amytal.
 There are also combinations of these products with pyramidon, as in such products as ipralidon, cibal- zine and similar preparations. A warning against the dangerous character of pyramidon combina- tions should be repeated.
 Narcotic preparations should never be used by anyone without doctors prescription, and no drug that has to be administered with a hypodermic syringe should find @ place in the average family medi- cine chest.
 Some diabetes patients have been taught by doctors to inject them- selves with insulin. Even these per- sons should always keep their syringe outfits separate from the family medicine chest.
 Anesthetics such as chloroform and ether, occasionally purchased for use in destroying animal life, should be disposed of immediately after use and never kept pernna- nently in the family medicine chebt. These products are dangerous pois- Ons, either infiammable or explos- i've, and q menace unless under complete and prnnar central

TEETHING NEVER BOTHERS A
 WELL NOURISHED BABY
 Summer complaint (cholera in- fantum), spasmodic croup, collie and illness from "teething" are going out of fashion.
 After all, the eruption of the pri- mary, baby or milk" teeth is a natural process and so 1t is as H. logical to ascribe pain, fever, irri- tability or digestive upset to teeth- ing as it is to call aches or pains growing pains." It doesn't hurt to grow either bones or teeth.
 Babies who suffer in nutrition from insufficient vitaminS or quite certain to have faulty development of jaws, gums and teeth, and the eruption of teeth may give trouble. Insufficient vitamin c particularly may account for such difhculty. Of course every well nourished infant must receive daily ration of vita min c in the form of tomato juice, orange juice, strawberry juice or any other fresh fruit juice in sea- son, or factory canned tomato juice when fresh fruit is not available. Home canned tomato contains little or no vitamin 0, which is destroyed by heating or cooking except in vacuum. Then, too, beginning at the same age (one month) every baby should receive 8 daily ration of vitamin D, which is indispen- sable for the growth of regular, strong teeth, and this may be given in the form of fish liver oil or one of the concentrates such as con- dol, of which Q single drop is equivalent to a teaspoonful of cod liver oil in vitamin D-300 units. The vitamin D may be given mixed with the fruit juice or mixed with @ milk feeding. The practice of lancing. the gum, or rubbing 1t to press the tooth through is barba- rous and never does any good.
 The order in which the tempo rary teeth are cut is my notion of useless information, but parents will have 1t:
 (1) Two lower central incisors, 6 to 9 months.
 (2) Four upper incisors, 8 to
 12 months.
 (S) Two lower lateral incisors
 and four front molars, 12 to IS months.
 (D Four canines ("eye" teeth), 18 to "A months.
 (6) Four back molars, A to 30 months.
 Thus @ child one year old has six teeth, at 1-2 years 12 teeth, at 2 years 16 teeth, mad at 2 1-2 all 20 "baby". teeth. Within normal limi- tations the teeth may be cut a month or more earlier or later than the averages given. When there Is prolonged delay in cutting teeth, the cause is usually rickets-due to insufficient vitamin D.
 If @ child's teeth are to be clean ed it is better to wipe or rub them with @ clean bit of linen over @ finger, such as the tooth napkins which are specially prepared with @ bnrnishing material for this pur- pose. The napkin is used once and thrown away.
 When @ baby tooth shows a cavity or decay 1t should be either filled or removed by the dentist, never allowed to remain in the mouth. If the temporary teeth are allowed to become carious or in- fected, the permanent teeth will be faulty. Whereas proper care of the temporary teeth preserves a healthy condition of the mouth which favors fine, sound permanent teeth.

 Hygeia, the Health Magazine Among the greatest blessings of mankind are those drugs and pre- parations which either completely deprive @ human being of conscious ness or temporarily inhibit 1t so that he becomes insensible to pain or to outside stimuli.
 The ancient Arabs anG Egyptians were familiar with drugs that would produce sleep or temporary uncon- sciousness.
 Only in modern centuries, how ever, have we been able to develop a great number of such drugs and preparations, varying in strength from those which act for only few moments and produce slight degrees of insensibility to those which may cause complete unconsiciousness for long periods.
 All such drugs are poisons if taken in large quantities. They should, therefore, be used with ut most caution, preferably never ex- cept on advice of a physician.
 In some countries, druggists are not permitted to sell such prepa- rations to anyone without a doctors prescription.

Latest Styles
Goriyng Yourself
By Alicia Hart

Exercises to keep feet flexible and ankles trim and slender are impor- tant to the woman who wants to step as lightly and gracefully at 4 as she did at 20. These should be done every night just before going to bed.
 First of all, sit upright on g hard bed with heels touching. Raise your fet upward as high as they will go, meanwhile holding your knees per- fectly straight and your feet close together. Repeat three times, then keeping heels on bed, bend your feet forward toward your body. This stretches and strengthens arch and ankle muscles. Hold the position a few seconds, relax, and stretch toes forward toward the foot of the bed. Knees must not bend. Keep on stretching until top of the feet and ankles feel the strain. Go through the entire routine ten times each night.
 Now stand with feet about ten inches apart and weight on the outer edges of both. Raise your heels. Lower. Raise your toes. Lower. Repeat ten times.
 Unless they make you most un- comfortable, wear hat-heeled or, better yet, heel-less bedroom slip pers. Mules with spike heels may do more to please your vanity, but they don't give your tired feet a chance to spread out and relax. It's 8 good idea to walk about your room without slippers now and then.
 Vigorous massage will tend to re- duce fatty tissues about the ankles. Apply a light coat of cream and, using both hands, massage upward and in rotary motions just above the ankles.

IMPORTS
CANNED BY
TREASURY
BY ERIC FRIEDHEIM
International News Service

With heavy imports of foreign
capital threatening injurious in
flation Of = American credit re-
sources, the Treasury today dc
cideu to place all its future gold
purchases in an inactive fund.
BY this action, the Treasury
will abandon the practice Of issu-
ing new currency to pay for newly
acquired gold. Instead, it will
; float securities to raise necessary
cash.
Motivated by unstable political
conditions abroad and the lure OF
profitable investment in tn e
United States, foreigners have
pumped more than $500 million
dollars of gold into this nations
financial arteries since 1888.
Bank Reserves Swollen
Since all gold must be turned
over to the Government, the Treas
ury has been forced to issue an
equal amount of currency to pay
for the metal. This has swollen
bank reserves to such point that
President Roosevelt and his fiscal
advisers feared the country'S credit
structure might escape control.
Under the new plan, acquisitions
of gold will have no effect on
bank reserves. Although the Treas
ury will pay for the gold it will
borrow a corresponding amount,
thus equalizing the transaction.
Newly-mined domestic gold which
has been averaging about $12,OOO,-
900 monthly will be handled SINH
larly. ..-.
Account "Sterilized"
Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau said the Government will
issue weekly short term bills to
raise money for the gold pur-
chases. The gold itself will be
placed in a special or "sterilized"
account.
There will be no change in the
status of the l2,0o0-million-dollar
gold stock already in Treasury
vaults.
Since adoption Of the tripartite
currency agreement between the
United States, Great Britain and
France which permits exchange Of
gold through stabilization fund
operations, there has been no
cessation of the gold flow to this
country.
Morgenthau explained that
should gold begin to move out of
the United States, the Treasury
simply will repurchase outstand-
ing obligations or pay them off
upon maturity.
