Layman Tells Us Something
 Why don't you teach your read CTS, asks one of them, that cure can be bought and health will come only through correct eating and liv- ingp Tell them to deserve health and not to be looking for cure or savior for the sins they commit. l write from experience. On your sug- gestion l underwent injection treat ment for hemorrhoids, which cost me $18O, and in a few weeks I had the same trouble again. Not until the cause was removed did I enjoy health again, and that I did myself. co. F. K.)
 The trouble is nobody will bother with an ounce of prevention until he needs a pound of cure.
 c. F. K. has more confidence in correct eating and living than l have. I believe right eating habits and good general hygiene will pre- vent hemorrhoids, but I doubt that reform in this respect will remove the penalty of sin in the way this layman implies. Rather, I fancy, what happened in his case was this. He had not one or two but, say, half dozen hemorrhoids. At eahc stit- ting the doctor injected one. It re- quired perhaps two months in all. with treatments at intervals of a week or ten days, at the patients convenience (TheSe treatments are no more painful and detain the pa- tient no more than ordinary dental treatments do, when something is wrong with tooth) Then about the time the doctor obliterated the last pile, c. F. K. began eaing some body's health food or refraining from smoking before meals 'or cut ting down on his physic dope, and like regular Yankee, having paid 180 bucks to a doctor, felt sore about it and tried to withhold credit where credit was due. That is the essence of 99 out of hundred tes- timonials that mislead gullible folk every day.
 You who haven't hemorrholds- yet-will pay no attention to this, but anyway I'm going to mention some of the common causes of this exceedingly common trouble. The knowledge may at least enable some victims to obtain proper treatment or prevent them from being de- ceived by fake pile cures.
 Hemorrhoids, otherwise called piles, are varicose (swollen, en- larged, dilated) veins. Unless they bleed or become inflamed (painfuD the patient may be unaware of their presence. Many persons with hem orhoids have erroneously assumed that the interval between attacks Of inflammation or bleeding meant cure.
 Where the vems about the sphinc- ter muscle at the orfice are en- larged the condition is called inter- nal piles or hemorrhoids; if veins below the sphincter are enlarged 1t Is called external hemorrhoids.
 The veins of this region empty. directly into the portal system

PARIS STYLES CHATS

ous different shapes prove unbe- coming to the average woman.
 Height still reigns supreme in fall and winter trends, although many milliners have tried to retain the more moderate, rounded and shal- low crown. The tall crowns, still shaped like inverted flower pots, prevail on every type hat but the turban. Some of these felts seem to be inspired by early Pilgrim days in America, while others look more like modern Alpine hats with taller crowns. Leather bands, cords. ribbons halfway from the brim to the tip of the crown and feather quills are used for trimming as well as silver Miles Standish buckles.
 Peaked crowns are still shown al many millinery houses, although the Mandarin and pagoda crowns oi last year are somewhat like the me- dieval .headdresses pictured in Eng fish story books. They are made with little brim and are frequently draped with colorful chiffon veil that is twisted about the crown and then floats out over the shoulders This type hat has been adopted all most exclusively by Marlene Diet rich and probably will be popular iSed in her next picture.
 Tiny tiirbans of velvet or of arti- ficial flowers = and often of gold or silver lame - are used for dressy wear. They are shallow and usually worn o6 the face.

Your ChiLdNgn
By Olive R0berts Barton

Sometimes I wish the race had been born without power to feel. I don't mean ''touch," but just enno- tion.
 When I am distressed or discour- aged or humiliated, I have tried something like the Coue method. I say over and over to myself, You don't feel anything. Nothing at sall. You are just a bump like a stone or a clod of mud. You don't matter, You don't feel. You are a machine, dead, dead, dead to all feeling"
 And actually it does help. I mat ter too much to myself. We all matter too much to ourselves. Who on earth cares how we feel? And why should we care how we feel?
 Now, this is a dangerous phil osophy, but I do not believe too dangerous. Because it won't inter- fere with our sympathy for others. It won't do anything but turn our eyes away from our i1grown ego and sorrow for our plight. And it is high time that we desensitized ourselves, if you know what I mean.
 Too Prone to Suffer
 I think little children suffer too much. think growing children suffer the tortures of the con- demned from inferiority and fear of people. I think that the aver- age adult is cringing and pitiable creature, robbed of his efficiency because of unsurness. And the whole darn world is tired and sorry for itself. This is the product of civili- zation and nothing else but.
 know full well what many are thinking. That my own peculiar reasoning is haywire and that all the lovelineSS of living would be 1 lost without the human element the element of suffering. Loveli- ness always depends on suffering Paradoxical as it sounds, we dress up pathos half the time as lowell. ness. We dress up selflshness as grandeur. Any school-master phil. osopher can tell you that nothing on earth is ever done without somt selfish reason, if 1t is only to save our own consciences. We offer help for instance, to others, just because WE CAN'T bear to know they art suffering. We are easing ourselves
 All this tirade on feeling because I think many of our children gel tired and sick and unhappy iron sheer feeling. They don't like tt study. They don't like to work They don't like to do much of any thing that takes real digging. Then because they don't like it, they de. velop real fatigue. They aren't tired.

carrying blood to the liver. There- fore any congestion of the liver or- any overlooking of the portal sys- ten is likely to predispose to piles,
 The hemorrhoidal veins and the veins into which they empty have no valves. Therefore in the erect position there is the weight or pres sure of column of blood upon the walls of these veins. Our upright posture is one cause of piles.
 Our common addiction to physic cathartics, purgatives, enemas, suppositories and other un- natural "aids"-is prolific cause of piles.

 Deodorants are just as important during winter months as they are in the summertime. If your skin is very sensitive or if you are opposed to the idea of non-perspira1ts (these seal up the pores under meath arms), look at some of the new deodorants which are effica- cious in a not-quite-so-c complete way.
 Non-perspirantS usually need to be used only once or twice 9 week. Deodorants, whether cream or liquid, should be patted on after each bath. This may seem Ike a bother, but absolute daintinesS and adequate protection for your new weolen dresses are worth bit of extra time and trouble.
 Just because days on the beach are over, don't shelve your depil- atory or forget about Seuai- monthly pedicures. You owe it to yourself to keep legs free from sllperfluous hair and feet lovely. This brings us right back to the old truism, "If you feel well grootned, you'll be more charm ing and likeable."
 The newest cream depilatOries contain enough perfume to dis guise that horrible sulphur-ike odor you used to dread, and they are easy to use. Simply rinse and dry legs and the skin underneath your arms, smooth on the cream and let it remain according to the length of time stated in the di- rections, then rinse again. Plain water removes cream and super fluous hair, leaving the once hairy areas soft and smooth. Finish with cold cream or bath powder, depending on how sensitive your skin is. Next day, notice how much nicer your new sheer stockings look.
 Wax depilatories are a bit more difficult to apply, but if used regularly, will tend to dis courage the growth of superfluous hair. Put the warm aWx on accoJding to directions on the package. Don't let it get too hard before you start to pull off the strips. If one strip does hard en before you know it, cover with more warm wax will soften the cold almost immediately.

 At any season of the year, but particularly in summer, children may injure themselves with air guns, slingshots, or small rifles.
 These devices are especially dan gerous to the eye. Medical literature contains numerous records of chill dren who have lost their eyes be- cause of a blow by BIB shot or be- cause BIB shot entered the eyeball
 By use of the X-ray, it is pos sible to learn whether any metal has entered the eye. If the foreign material is clean, in the sense that it is free from germs, and If it is in a part of the eye in which 1t does not obstruct vision, it may be left there for considerable time with out removal.
 Usually, however, Inflammation promptly resuNs when a foreign sub stance has entered the eye, and the only thing to do is to remove the particle by surgical operation.
 The explosion of gunpowder or of fireworks, including particularly firecrackers, torpedoes, and bombs, may damage the skin seriously and occasionally cause some foreign substance to penetrate the body cavities.
 Whenever an injury from fire works or gunpowder occurs, get a doctor as soon as possible. He will examine the wound, clean it, treat it with suitable antiseptics, and de- ternaine whether 1t is necessary to inject antitoxin against lockjaw, to prevent that disease.
 It is not wise to wait until lock- jaw develops; after that disease has once developed, 1t causes death in a considerable number of cases. The possibility is so great that many health departments provide anti toxin without charge for injection into people who have been exposed to the danger.
 Tn certain cases the explosion of gampowder causes black specks to penetrate the skin. and leaves a scar when the black material be- comes imbedded in the skin. This bcar Is difficult to remove.
 If immediate attention is given to s,lch wounds, the gunpowder may be BGnioYed and the scarring prevented.

 Tiredness Not Physical
 What the actual muscles and brain can stand is so amazing that no one would believe 1t if I quoted facts. Our bodies are capable of ten times as much work as we do, We are not physically or mentally tired, when we complain of weari- ness, but unless there is a real hitch in metabolism or body chemistry, we are tired "feelingly."
 And so I say. Do try to teach the children to break away from thinking forever of themselves. Tougher their fiber. They cannot be treated as alligators that have no feeling of any sort and there fore live a thousand years, but they can be taught to think that the way they FEEL about hustling, or studying, isn't going to ruin them. I don't want to Standardize the race. But neither do wish to see us turn into a nation of self pitiers. Give it some thought.

Have Manv
Advantages
Exotic Beauty Has
Charm All It's
Own.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

INSTEAD of envying their fair
haired cousins. if brunettes con-
centrated on emphasizing their own
dark loveliness they'd find a dis
tinctive beauty all their own.
Just as light hair Is emphasized by
rinses and shampoo ttnts, by calling
forth and playing up all the golden
glints, so brunette beauty can be en-.
HANGED by similar color treatments.
Have you ever seen dark harriet
black hair, let us say-that had blue
black sheen? Isn't there something
distinctive and striking about that2
We've often commented on the fact
that Nature Is splendid artist,
maintaining harmony and balance be-
tween skin and hair, hair and eyes
and brows and so on. One can i'm
prove upon Nature by empha-
sizing. enhancing, calling forth her
own coloring. That's why I feel that
the natural color heightened is infinite
ly more fiattering and becoming to
most types than the original color
completely changed. That's why black
hair should have as much attention
as blond in the matter Of cleansing,
brushing. hygienic daily care, sham
pooing and also in the matter Of rinses
to bring out the full color tone. This
goes for titan beauty, too, but to them
in another session.
There's q certain type of brunette,
sometimes called Castillian brunette,
or American beauty, or Gardenia
brunette. By any name she's beau
tiful. This type has fair skin-white
as gardenia petal. If she is as wise
as she Is lovely she uses no rouge; but
emphasizes her lips and eyes and
leaves her face the striking contrast
it is to her hair. Flawless, skin Is, of
course, taken for granted. 1t is pity
to permit even the tiniest blemish to
mar that distinctive. dramatic loveli-
ness.
Those Of olive or sallow skin and
dark hair and eyes should use rouge,
but should be careful that the colors
worn do not take color from the skin.
High shades are recommended for this
type.
Dark, flashing eyes mirror the
exotic or dramatic quality. They
should be played up" Not too OBJ
viously, however. For daytime, many
Of the screens leading brunettes use
little olive oil on lids as well as
lashes. The oil makes the lashes
sIkier, more luxuriant, darker and
throws high lights on the lids. Mas
cara and eyeshadow is preferred for
evening by these same luminaries Of
the silver sheet.
Because a clear, flawless skin re-
mains woman's greatest beauty asset,
brunette and blond complexion alike
require daily, diligent care. Many
brunettes. particularly the Latin bru-
nettes, have a tendency to excessive
| oiliness of the skin. Diet has much
to do with this and very often we find
an abundance Of oil, fried foods, rich
desserts and starches on the daily
menu. AS these are cut down the
skin improves immeasurably.
