 Were You Sick or Scared?
 Have just read your fire article "The Sick and the Scared". Hurrah for you! Wish we had more doctors like you. (E. W)
 Answer-Which were you and how're you feeling now?
 LeucOpIakia
 My husband has leucoplakia patches in his mouth, the white sore spots being each in close proximity to gold and silver filings. Would such spots account for the netalic taste he complains of? (Mrs. J. H. H.
 Answer-Quite likely. The two dissimilar metals make a small gall vanic battery in. the mouth secre- tons. It would be well to have the dentist remove the silver or ar1al- gam filings, and replace them with gold or porcelain. People who value their teeth and health should have gold or porcelain filings or other dentures exclusively, never aTnalgain or silver or other base metals. The white sores will probably clear up when the galvanic battery is re- moved.
 Choking
 What happens when one chokesp co. W)
 Answer-Irritation causes spasin of the larynx, the entrance to the windpipe, and it shuts down and prevents entrance of air. Or 8 for- eign body lodges in the larynx and obstructs breathing.

Paris Styles
By MARH FENTREsS

Limited Press Staff CorrespOndent.)
 Paris, (UP)-Unusual color com- binations and strong Oriental in- fluence characterize the new Alix collection. Some skirts are so full and flaring that they resemble para chutes or lamp shades, while others are caught under at the hem like Turkish trousers.
 The feminine silhouette is stressed at all times and clothes ct Alix are fashioned to display a slender waistline and Q curving hip line. For day wear bodiceH are skin tight and are usually made with a high neck trimmed with bows or loops of material. All clothes show Q certain amount of fullness at the hip, and this is fre- quently stressed by the use of @ full and flaring peplun.
 Evening clothes are particular ly eccentric with skirt fullness con- centrated in groups of folds or gath- CTS placed directly in front or di- rectly in back. Some evening gowns are bordered at the hem in bands of four or five bright Colors, while perfectly flat, heelless, open sandals in silver or gold kid complete all evening costumes.
 Particularly outstanding is an evening gown in black cire sa- tin which is fashioned with skin- tight bodice that is made high in front to slender halter collar while the back is completely nude.

HUSH, sHUsH, TAKE A DEEP
 BREATH
 A carping complaint, I call this: Dear Dr. Brady:
 For more years than I care to mention q being a vain creature with an indulgent husband, three children and a fgure) the most pop ular dinner table topic at our house and in our circle has been that Dr. Brady says today. Years ago my husband was inclined to poke fun at your teachings when we quoted you. Later he became mildly inter- ested-he had to, in order to partici- pate in the conversation. Today he is one of your most loyal disciples. You won him over forever when you printed those articles about six years ago telling of an extraordinary renn- edy for high blood pressure. He be- gan using your remedy and It seem- ed to bring him relief such as he could get in no other way. Of course you know I refer to Belly Breathing.
 But now you've gone and spoiled
 Comment by or Doc: I knew 1t Whenever get a particularly de- tailed report like this I steel myself against being cajoled by the first part, for the sting is yet to come. People just don't bother to tell me all about it unless they have 8 brick to bestow)
 .. spoiled it all by an article you had recently about coronary throrn- bosis. Tn this article you state that during sleep the blood pressure in the great artery and the coron- ary artery is lowered from 20 to 50 millimeters mercury, whatever is, and wo is me and my unhappy hus- band, you advise the practice of Belly last thing at night, and as often as one wakes in the night, to keep the blood pressure upl
 Now my husband is in @ sad quandary. He doesn't know whether to go on with his breathing exer- else or not. He becomes pensive and silent now when anybody quotes Dr. Brady. In short, you have a hard job of explaining to do, that is, if you care for the allegiance of The Charter Lodge of Wiseacres. (MrS. ..............., Secretary I suppose, Madam Secretary, your husband will turn back completely disilIusioned if he finds the gates are plated and not 24-karat or If he is welcomed by a gloomy bird drumming c uke rather than a bevy of beautiful angels playing harpS. Readers should allow me little license. I have a good many things to keep in mind when writing these articles -- thing of no importance except that they may mean good deal to wiseacres. Tn fact, that is the hardest part of this job. It is the reason, too, why few doctors can interpret Medicine for the layman. Too often the idea a doctor seeks tc convey doesn't get over at all, oz else 1t reaches the lay mind sadly mangled in translation.
 The only explanation I have tC make in reference to the apparent discrepancy is that medicine niakel rapid strides these days, yet even ! snI eha doezn'k leave or Doc DEadJ

by . shell fired from a shore bat- tery.
 Rose Russell doesn't know for sure just how old she is, but she must be around 100, for she was born a slave near Vicksburg. Dur- ing the siege of that city, she of- fered her services to the Union army as a nurse, and later continu- ed in the service in New Orleans.
 Tn these memories and those of tM other surviving nurses lies the whole history of military and to large extent of civilian nursing. Clara Barton, most famous of the Civil War nurses, was founder of the American Red Cross, and help ed advance its work in many other countries.
 Not. for these heroic women, however, were the splendid equip- ment and modern technique of to- day. A hastily iinprovised ward in a Sibley tent with straw strewn about the floor, ghastly operations without benefit of anesthetic by the light of oil lamps, crowded wooden wards without adequate sanitary arrangements-all these things can be recalled by such pioneers of Q noble profession.

Your Children
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Sometimes parents defeat the very thing they are anxious to cultivate in their children. They do not real- ize that, to get desired results, the reverse of the obvious is often the best way to handle a situation.
 This is particularly true in dealing with inferiority. The too-gentle, uH1- assertive child, thinks his family, should be handled bit cavalierly in order to toughen him to life. But while this has Q Ynodicum of truth in 1t, and all children should learn to take things in their stride, at the same time the wind at first should be tempered to the lamb. Too harsh Q blast may kill instead of harden him.
 Personality Smothers Family
 Fathers with sensitive and shy boys usually make this blunder. Men of force often have sons the exact opposite of themselves. In such cases 1t is frequently re- marked that the sons take after their mothers. This is less the case than the fact that Q dominant man is likely to throw his entire family into the jitters, including his wife. He may be Q wonderful fel- low, this man, 8 good provider, kind- ly in his way and all the rest of it., but his very personality may be sapping the will power of the rest.
 This is the father, too, who usualy resents 1t if his sons don't take after him, and who, para. doxically enough, won't have his daughters grow up with minds of their own.
 Then we have @ bad situation, of father trying to shame his sons into being big he-rnen, and at the same time endeavoring to keep down the obstinate wills" of his girls. Ob- stinate in the sense that they them selves do not approve.
 Planting Seeds of HerOlcs
 If 1t is possible to tell opinion ated daddies anything they will listen to, may I whisper Q truth? Every time you make fun of Johnny because he hasn't stood up for his rights, you are weak ening him still more. If you want to toughen him, you won't call him 8 sissy. If he lets someone maui him, you won't call him a

Few Surviving Nurses Of Civil War
 Look Back On Long Lives Of Service
Only Eight "Angels of Mercy Remain on
 Pension Rolls
By NEA Service

By NEA Service
 Eight aging women whc Ss. lEn- Der the dawn of mercy on the bat- tlefleld remain on the pension rolls of the U. 6. government.
 They are the last of the Civil War nurses, who saw with their own eyes the beginnings of the pro- fession of nursing aS 1t was so splendidly launched by Florence Nightingale in the Crilnea and by Clara Barton in the United States.
 Continuing even today, 70 years and more after their service with the armies of '6S, to live livS5 of service and helpfulnesS, all these women have proved themselves an inspiration to the communities in which they dwell.
 They were pioneers in Q field which today gives opportunity for service to thousands of women. For Civil War nurses were almost all men, as anyone will recall from Walt Whltman'S poems which he wrote as "The Wound Dresser"
 Male nurses in that conflict to- taled 1O,252 as against the 4ol wo- men who dared to enter body into that field.
 Only Eight On Pension
 There may have been, and prob- ably were, more women nurses than 49l during the Civil War, but many were employed by private or- ganizations which kept no perma. nent records.
 This 491 counts only those di- rectly employed by the government. And of these, only eight remain today on the government pension lists.
 They are Hattie Brunbaker, St. Paris, O.; Jennie Kennedy, Bag dad, Fla; Bridget Murphy, Ashland, Ky; Mary E. Miller, Logansport, Ind: Eliza Pyle, Norris City, 1ll.; Rose Russell, Vicksburg, Miss; Mary 0. Upton, Clinton, H., and Mary M. Watson of Lockwood, Mo.
 Memories of the war and of the early days of nursing crowd upon these aging women as they look back across the years. Mrs. Bru- baker, for instance, at 92, looks back on the day when she was 18.

coward. You can't make heroes this way.
 Heroes are better made by be- ing fooled into thinking they are the ticket, and by thinking they have 8 reputation to live up to. Call Johnny brave little chap some time, and if he doesn't fall dead from sheer aInazement, he is going to show you that you are right about him.
 Fathers as well as mothers will find out someday, that there are shadings to training. There are times when Q little roughage is best, but there are more times, especially with the super-gentle child, when admiration and praise gets results. Once small Johnny thinks you admire him, 1t is pretty safe bet that he will give you something to admire. All of us, and especially children, need imitation to self esteem.

Your Baby's Health
When Mother Stops Nursing Her Baby, She Should Give It Cows Milk

ing destroys the germs by heat.
 Most of the germs in good milk are not dangerous to human health. Occasionally, however, the strepto- coccus which produces septic sore throat may get into milk, and more rarely such dangerous germs as those of typhoid, diphtheria, or scarlet fever.
 Tn general, 1t is believed that heating milk does not injure 1t Ser- iously, so far as its nutritional value is concerned. Moreover, some specialists believe that heating makes the mlk more digestible, by alternating the curd.
 Because the vitamin c necessary for the child may be destroyed by the heat process, it is customary to begin giving orange juice very early in life.
 Directions for artificial feeding of any baby should be given by Q doc- tor who understands this work. Cows milk alone will not provide the baby with the food clements that 1t requires and in the proper proportions. It is necessary to change the composition to meet the needs of the individual baby.
 Only a thorough understanding of these requirements can bring about proper modification for the individual child.
 When cows milk is fed, the gas- trict juice of the baby will increase in acidity to take care of the dif- ference in the reaction between the cows milk and human milk. To bring cows milk to the optimum acidity for digestion, three times as much acid must be added to ob-

 This is the time of year when deodorants and depilatories are very important to the woman who wants to be daintily groomed. Days on the beach call for legs and arms free from Superfiuous hair. Hot weather makes frequent use of deodorants absolutely necessary.
 If you are one who doesn't like liquid deodorarits and, you find powder varieties too mild to be efflcacious, do consider the new creamy types which are easy to ap- ply and guaranteed to check per- spiration. One cream deodorant, put out by a reliable company that has made Q good liquid preparation for years, can be applied at night and left on while you sleep. In the morning, rinse off before you dress. This saves time of waiting for Q liquid to dry before you can go to bed. It needs to be used only twice Q week. ...
 Never put Q deodorant under your arms directly after shaving or using Q depilatory unless directions on Jar or bottle state that you may do so without danger. Always read the directions which accompany any beauty product. And follow them carefully.
 As for depilatories, simply decide on the one that is easiest for you to use. Don't expect the cream and liquid types to remove hair perma- nently. They don't. But they do remove 1t in satisfactory manner and 1t doesn't grow back as rapidly as it will if you use a razor.
 There is Q liquid depilatory for arms and legs that takes about two minutes to apply and which can be rinsed off five minutes later. This leaves the legs not only free from hair but quite soft and smooth.

 Cows milk used most generally in the United States as @ substitute for mothers milk.
 It is essential that the milk come from healthy COWS, that it be ham dled only by healthy people, and that it be clean and fresh.
 Milk from different types of COWS varies in its composition. The very rich milk that comes from Jerseys and Alderneys usually is not as satisfactory as that from average grade COWS. Ordinarily, the best milk is that taken from herd and mixed.
 Nowadays milk production and distribution is largely under state control. The milk taken from the COWS is mixed and put into sterilized pails. The COWS have been tuber- culin tested. The milk is pasteuriz- ed, or perhaps first certified as to its freedom from harmful germs mad then pasteurized.
 
 In country homes and in districts where milk is obtained fresh from the COWS, the fluid should be boiled at once. Then 1t may be strained through several thicknesses of cheesecloth into jars or milk bottles which have been boiled. After being filled with the milk, thees bottles should be covered and cooled im- 1nediately.
 Milk for older children also should be boiled, unless 1t has been pasteurized Pasteurization or boil
