AREN'T BABIES PEOPLE THEW
 Please ignore ct the moment everything I have said about ner- vous exhaustion, nerve weakness, nerve tonics, nerve food, neuras- thenia, neurotics, nervous energy and nerve specialists, for I have some comments to make upon the baby specialist business, and 1t would be deplorable # you were to assume that I'm just an old crab spouting sarcasm and spleen for the the Joy of It. I'm not abating one jot of little what I have said about the neurotic hoax, but 1t really dif- ficuit to tell some people anything. For instance, know from your own testimony that . lot of you assume l am "agin" pBychiartrists, since have no use for nerve spec!alists"-but that's your miss take. A psychiartFist ig Q physician who limits his practice to the diag- fiosis and treatment of mental cons ditions. Goodness knows, there is plenty of work for such specialists. So don't get patronizlng with me. When I say nerve specialist" l mean neuFoiogist, not psychiatrist To one with . knowledge Of phy- siclogy and pathology nerve specialist" in tho popular sense of the term Is as ridiculous as . spec iaiist in that tired feeling. If or when I am crowded King of Yan- keeIand, ell doctors holding them- selves specialists had better duck. I ike Q joke as well as you do, but there is such . thing aS carrying c joke too far. The A.M.A. carries this one too fer when it "recog. Ilizes" as . legitimate speciality neurology" but refuses to Tecog. nize ag Q speciality private proven. tive medicine, plastic surgery, heart, gastFo.e .enterology, and other fields in which good physicians specialize In spite of the A.M.A. politicians who would discourage them.
 Medical ethics and tradition sanc- ton the speciality Of pediatrics, dis. eases of childhood, and as . large portion of the population remains in that category until voting age pediatrics makes on attractive field for pampeFed youths to enter dn pFactice--young doctors who have indulgent Tnamas or rich aunts or mayhap 6 wife who will support them for the Ave or ten years it takes to build up . practice. Yet the same medical ethics and tradi- ton biindly declines to recognize . more logical and indeed more es- sentiai speciality, namely, geriatrics, diseases of old age. Of course the medical profession has on excellent reason for this strange discriulinA. ton; in fact two reasons; first. the study of gefiatFicg ig comparatively new, and therefore probably should Dc condemned: and second, babies ere easier to manage and much better paying patients.
 Mine is . etEcisg stomach and l can stand quite . lot, but please excuse me ct moment when 6 young mother who ig just to sport . house. maid gets c sncbbigh notion that gl1e must run to . child specialist every time the baby squawkg = stlcbbery is too much for me.

 QUESTIONS and ANSWERS.
 Burning Tongle.
 Have been taking the blood tonic suggested in your booklet "Blood health" and am very grateful, as lt has brought relief to my burn. ing tongue, 70 that can now enjoy eating fruit which was before . painful or impossible thing. Also ! feel and look better than I have for years Mrs. E. M. s.
 Answer Complaint of burning or soreness of tongue, usually ascribed to "acid fruits," and aversion for meat, is common in simple hypo- chronic anemia. Copy of, the book- let available to readers who send ten cents coin and stamped ad- dressed envelope. I believe the burning tongue and digestive weak. ness arc signs rather of vitamin deficiency; indeed I believe vitainin deficiency is the essential cause of this common type of anemia in women thirty or so.
 Milk Diet For Eczema.
 My own experience, and that Of g friend, both under approval of cur physlcians, has been that . week on exclusive milk diet cleared up chronic eczema which has re- sisted treatment up physicians and specialists for years .. (Mrs. J. V. P.)

 While we usually choose tender steaks for planked dinners, I have served planked Salisbury steak with excellent effect. Always broil the meat before transferring 1t to the plank, which must Do well oiled and very hot. If you like thick steaks cooked rare, broil about eight niin- utes before putting 1t on the plank to finish cooking.
 Another point to keep in mind is to put tho piping of potatoes around the edge of tho plank be- fore yo utransfer the steak from tho broiler to the plank. Finish cooking in c hot oven (4B0 de- grees T.) until the meat is done and the potatoes are lightly Drowned. Then spread the meat with softened butter, sprinkle with salt and pepper and garnish with whatever vegetables you please.
 OH Plank Thoroughly
 Be sure the plank iS very hot and well oiled before you put any, thing on 1t. oil 1t with a sweet, unsalted oil while heating it and then when ready to add potatoes and steak, brush 1t over with butter for flavor.
 If you gre serving c. dinner planned to please the fnenfolk, add Q salad of head lettuce with Russian or Thousand Island dress ing and finish Up with an open applie pie.
 sprinkle apples with cinnamon and sugar and pour over about { tablespoons thick sour cream before baking. Such atl open apple pic 10 c rich dessert that seems to ap. peal especially to men.
 Since the potatoes are specially prepared for using on . plank perhaps you will need the recipe.
 Duehesse Potatoes
 Four cups hot Ficed potatoes, { tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon salt. is4 teaspoon pepper, { egg yoiks, 2 tablespoons cream.
 Beat egg yolks slightly with cream. Add butter, salt, pepper and beaten egg koiks to potatoes and beat until light. Pipe with Q pastry beg or drop lightly from c spoon to form c border close to the edge of . hot buttered plank.
 Open Apple Pie
 Lne 6 deep pie dish with plain pastry. Cover with i.2 cup gu gar. Pare apples and cut in halves. Arrange in prepared pie dish, cut side Up. Sprinkle with i-4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Pour over four tablespoons thick cream and bake in c hot oven, f400 degrees F) for ton minutes. Then reduce heat and bake until apples are tender but not broken.
