A WOrdleSS Letter.

Many funny things happen in con-
nectiOn with lost mail. 1t is rather
frequent that a postal card is mailed
with an important message on it and
the sender forgets to put on the name
and address; also frequently there is
name and address but no message,
ETC., etc. Just few days ago a letter
was mailed at Askov to Mr.. and Mrs.
Chris Petersen and it contained two
sheets of nicely folded paper, but
there wasn't a thing written on the
paper. Possibly the sender folded up
the letter and put it in the waste
basket and then absent mindedly
folded two blank sheets and put in
the letter. Incidentally, unless the
sender happens to read this and re-
call the error, Mr.. and Mrs. Peter
sen will never know what some one
evidently wanted to tell them.

 have never found a medical or health authority who pretends to know what resistance" is. Mind, we are not speaking of immunity now. That later. To the best of my knowledge resistance" is & specu- lative hypothesis without existence In fact. The idea was invented to break the jump from the former attitude of the medical profession, taht exposure to cold or wet caused illne&s, to the present view, that the illness is due to infection.
 When 8 physician speaks of iIn- munity he has definite state in mind. He knows that immunity to diphtheria, for example, has noth- ing to do with immunity to typhoid fever or infantle paralysis or tu- berculosis. He would scarcely be so quackish as to tumble these dif- ferent specific states together in one vague class. Furthermore, he knows that 1t takes considerable time to develop or acquire enough immunity to be reasonably well protected against the given disease perhaps three months in the process of immuization against diphtheria; two weeks for immuni- ration against smallpox by vaccina- ton; woke or ten days for im- munization against pneumonia in illness from that diseage--the pa- tient has to develop immunity fin order to recover from the illness. Likewise 1t takes time to lose im- munity, once you have acquired 1t. It is never lost abruptly, as the old timers would have you believe Ire sistance" is lost when you become childed by exposure to cold, wet, draft or sudden change. In fact, 1t takes a good deal longer to lose immunity than 1t does to acquire it. This should be 6 comforting or reaasuring thought when you are exposed to the discomfort of cold and wet. At any rate, I have found 1t so. But then, I'm a queer gink about this. I don't believe anybody ever suffers any illness from ex- posture to cold, rave possible frost- bite.

No Torture In This Easy
 Reducing Diet

Three cheers dor this easy re- ducing diet that sims you off through the holidays, yet allows you to indulge in your fay0rite holiday sweets.
 Usually, wise reducers cut down on sugars, starches and fats. But who can resist altogether the can- dies. nuts, rich cookies and cakes that tempt from every side at holi- day time?
 Why not eat appetizing meals like this of roast beef, baked to- mato. string beans, lettuce salad. It's high in health.giving vitamins and minerals-but so low in calor- ics that you can add an enticing slnb of fruit cake and two choco- late caramels without damage to your figure.
 Our 32-page booklet with its valuable calory chart helps you sail through the holiday season to trim, youthful lines. Easy-to-fix reduce ing menus. slenderizing exercises. 4 weight-gaining program for the thin.

 Yourself
By Alicia Hart

Your makeup when dressing for 8 formal evening is just as import ant as your coiffurc and the gown you wear. Allow time enough to get 1t in on perfectly before you start for any holiday party or dance.
 If you can't possibly spend more than one hour dressing for a formal function, better budget your time so you won't have to powder face and neck at the last minute and apply lipstick as you rush down the stairs to greet your escort.
 Allow at least twenty minutes for bath and brief facial. While the tub is filling, clean your face and throat and smooth on 8 rich tissue cream or 8 quick drying mask. Then bathe. If you are very tired, relax in the warm water for five or six minutes. Afterward, remove cream or mask, smooth cold skin tonic or splash ice water on your skin and smooth on foundation lotion.
 Application of cream rouge is the next step. Keep 1t above an ima- ginary line from corner Of the mouth to tip of the ear. and blend it out- ward until there are no rought edges. In oher words, put it where natural color would normally be and try to attain a natural effect. Of course you need more rouge under artificial lights than you do in the day time. And remember to take along compact of dry rouge which matches exactly the cream variety you put on at home.
 Now powder, using clean puff or cotton pad and pressing qianti- ties of powder firmly against face and throat. While this is setting. put liquid powder on shoulders. arms and back. Then, using the other side of the cotton or . soft complexion brush. remove excess face powder.

WINTER AND VITALITY

WAN1Eh AND tAAhL1Al
 One health commissioner explains to the uncritical public that sudden chilling of the body is dangerous If your resistance happens to be low, for in that case the chilling lowers resistance, 50 that pneumonia germs, which you must imagine turk constantly in the environment, hop right out and tackle you.
 That, I think is as nearly as we are likely to approach to the deter imitation of what resistance is. A high school science teacher asks for something definite on the subject to pass along to her classes in Biology and General Science.
 If 1t were true that exposure to cold and Tor wet i)rediSposes to ill., ness it should be easy to prove by experiment that men or animals are more readily inoculable with some disease or other when they have been subjected to such ex- posture to degree comparable with the everyday experience of most people who live in the temperate climate.

 Recent surveys indicate that more than 100000 school children in the United States have defective hearing.
 Modern electrical devices arc used to test the hearing Of large groups. Before these tests are given, the children arc always asked If they have ever had ear- aches, or ear infections with dis charge, or if they hear noises such as buzzing, missing, or roaring.
 Authorities are now convinced that children's hearing should be examined regularly, and that necessary steps should be taken promptly to prevent loss of their ability to hear.
 Moreover, it ig customary now adayS to provide for children, who have difficulty in hearing, special classes in which they may learn lip reading. Finally, 1t is possible to fit such children, in some instances, with devices which will enable them to hear better.
 Many people complain of ringing in the ears, throbbing or Whistling or of other peculiar noises. Causes of such trouble are not always in tho ear, although disturbances of the internal ear or of the eustachian tube frequently may be responsible.
 A large blood vessel passes through the bones of the skull close to the ears. Difficulties in circulation of the blood may cause this blood vessel to throb. This throbbins sound is transmitted to the ear. If the persons thus affected will lie on the opposite side, avoid tight neckbands or anything else that might cause pressure on the blood vessel in the throat, he may rid himself of the symptom. If throbbing. whistling, or roaring persists, 8 medical expert should be consulted.
 If the difficulty is due to con- gestion, or to infection of either tile uiJtTflhl Cdlial icaduiB O uIc eardrum or of the tissues beyond the eardrum, treatment of nose throat. and ear frequently will be of benefit and produce cure.
 One authority is convinced that people who do not occasionally experience ringing in the ears are extremely rare. It B his belief that everyone has ringing in the ears ta one time or another. but that most people are not aware of 1t until it gets so loud that 1t in- terferes with the hearing of weak CT sounds.
 Occasional ringing may be in- duced by blow on the eap. Or by presence of wax, water, or other substanceg fin the ear canal. Ring. nig iIi the ear e shis type Obvi- olisly is easily overcome.

have ringing in the ears, the sounds are heard only by them, but some cases are described in which ringing could be heard by the doctor. This type of ringing was due to spasmodic contractions of muscles associated with the or- ganS of hearing.
 Most elderly people become &C., customed in time to the annoyance of ringing in the ears, particularly when it is due to high blood pres- sure or to some disturbance of the circulation which cannot be con- trOlled.
