first step with a view to ascer-
tanning reaction Of the British
people as a whole to his marriage
to Mrs. Wallis Warfield Simpson,
it was learned by international
News Service today.
The King conferred for two
hours at Buckingham Palace last
night with Lord Beaverbrook,
publisher of the London Daily Ex-
press.
It was a private meeting. The
King and the publisher discussed
at great length and in detail the
likely reaction of the British pub
lie to news of the romance and
the Monarch's plans for marriage
next summer.
Lord Beverbrook recently re-
turned to London from trip to
the United States. Upon his re-
turn, the publisher communica-
ted without delay with Bucking-
ham Palace and was summoned
by King Edward to the private
meeting. The summons was not
mentioned in the court circular,
which usually lists all of the Kings
engagements.
At o'clock last evening, Lord
Beaverbrook entered Buckingham
Ealace through a secluded en-
trance. He remained until p. m.

Reich Boosts Duties
On u. 5. Gas and Oils

BERLIN, Dec. U.N.SO.-To
finance construction of $50 miles
of new German highways, the
Reich government today imposed
heavy new duties on all American
gasoline and oil imports. A decree
issued by the finance ministry af-
fects virtually every type of oil
and gas and, according to private
estimates, will mean an increased
duty of approximately 6 cents a
gallon on gasoline. The amount
will be slightly higher for heavy
oils.

THE TABLE
Food Suggestions
By MRS. MARY E. DACUE

One of the crimes of modern times is the stuff that is served these days in certain homes under the name of food. The dreadful things that are done to good ma terials, in spite of all the help that science gives, are legion and should be avenged somehow. say, as I've always said, that anybody with ir- telligence who wants to cook well. can do 1t. There are tricks in all trades, and if you are going to cook, you must learn them.
 Use of seasonable foods is one of the surest and easiest means of economy in meal planning. AL though the markets offer all va. riety of produce throughout the year, the cost varies at different seasons. Long distance shipping, involving refrigeration or applied heat, naturally cost money and increases the price of foods. While these items are desirible from the standpoint of good nutrition and the variety they add to the menu. cheaper fruits and vegetables must sometimes be substituted for economy.
 Combining Two Days Work. Extra cooking and baking done one day makes it possible to do less the following day. This Is an economy of both time and fuel. For instance, 1t takes comparatively lit- tie more heat to cook enough pota- toes not only for mashing for the immediate meal. but for creaming for the next day. It's Q decided saving of time to make enough salad dressing to last for several meals. A roast large enough to serve hot one day, slice cold the next and finally make into hash or stew, effects saving of money, time and fuel.

By MARY FENTREsS

Paris, (UP)-Mme. Helene Yrande says that she makes the sort of gar- ments that no woman needs and that every woman wants. The Duchess of Kent wanted them and ordered underwear, nighties. neg ligees and house coats from this house for her trousseau.S
 Tn her collection, Mime. Yrands has continued her habit of mak- ing gowns and robes so ex- quisite that they can be used for dinner wear. Outstanding is Q gown of coral pink, the entire front and back panels of which are finely knife-pleated. The coat, patterned from Renaissance days, is of black cire satin lined in the coral. The neck is high at the throat where t fastens with two coral buttons and the sleeves are wide and loose. The long coat is suitable as c summer evening wrap.
 A house coat in orchid c0lored organdy is worn over Q satin foun- dalton of the same shade. The edges of the coat are outlined with ruffles, as are the sleeves, and . central panel in back likewise i1 outlined with ruffles.
 Tn contrast to this frOthy fenl- ininity is a blue and white pajama suit worn with long, tailored white coat.

TONsILs AND IMMUNITY

When physicians or others don't know what they're talking about but desire to fill some space or just mark time they utter some bemusing re- marks about lowered resistance" or keeping up your resistance"
 As nobody knows what that means, we'll say no more about 1t.
 Immunity is specific state. For instance, whether you will catch typhoid fever or diphtheria or not depends on your immunity; if you are in any doubt about it, any phy- sician can immunize you against one or both diseases, and that's all there is to 1t. Doesn't matter at all whether you wear woolen under clothes or go about without hat Nor has the weather or the season or the climate anything to do with immunity.
 Patients with neuritis myalgia, arthritis or other focal infection have in many instances experienced marked relief following the first few applications of surgical diathermy to the infected tonsils. Discussing this subject in the Archives of Otolaryngology, May, 1885, Dr. Lewis J. Silvers said:
 Mckenzie suggested that steril- ization of the focus in the tonsil is responsible for the clearing up of symptoms. This may be refuted on the ground that pain is often re- lieved before total sterilization of
 the focus. Balmer offered the
 viewpoint that "diathermocryptec-
 tony" by destruction of myriads of
 bacteria in situ produces @ reac-
 ton in the individual analogous to an autogenous vaccine reaction.

 CUTS.
 Dr. Silvers, who as pioneer in this field has had extensive experi- ence, holds that the virulence of the bacteria in the septic focus in the tonsil determines the degree of re- action from the treatment, rather than the amount of treatment at each sitting. Thus where the no- torious hemolytic Streptococcus is the predominating organism in the tonsil, the local and general reac- tionsare most marked and may be repeated in diminishing degree up to the third or fourth treatment in some cases. Where the less yiru- lent Staphylococcus predominates, the local and systemic reactions are less marked and usually do not oc- cur at all after the second treat nent.

Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

Can you cure the cry-baby2 l don't believe you can. How about yourself2 Wehn you have to, you cry, don't you? The only difference is that you don't have to, often. You have other ways of expressing distress. But once you feel tears coming they come, that is all.
 Don't you dare to cry" says mother, stamping her foot. Johnny stops and Sniffles, perhaps. The rea- son iS that fear has stepped in and jolted the other sad emotion out of the way. Then he begins to think that he had better go and hunt up Charlie who was calling Q minute ago. Thought follows fear and tears, and both are gone. But these sub- stitutions are not cures. Five nin- utes later Johnny may be bawling about something else.
 The cry-baby is Q problem. He is also Q result. A result of himself, partly, because of over-sensitiveness, and also of self-pity that was allow ed to start, dear knows when, and grew with the years.
 Sympathy Starts Flood
 All children who weep easily are to be pitied, but 1t is best to keep it a secret. To sympathize only opens the flood gates wider.
 It is Q terribly hard thing to do when ones heart is aching for the unhappy one, but 1t is the kindest thing in the end.
 No one can help the chronic crier but himself. He wants to help himself, but he would die rather than let it be known. What he does not want is to be talked about, especially if he is past babyhood.
 Perhaps he is trying to be sport and hold back the tears. You notice 1t and say, Darling, I'm 50 sorry. It is just too bad" That's the very thing he hoped you wouldn't say, because 1t breaks the dyke he was so bravely trying to hold up. If, on the other hand, you had kept silent or walked away, leaving him to his own strength, he might have mastered the impulse by tremen- dous effort.
 Seldom Cries From Anger
 There are tears of rage and tears of sorrow. The easy-weeper seldom cries from anger. He just carries his feeling on his sleeve, that's all and they are easily scraped. As time | goes on, he will increase his world | and be SO busy that the crying epi- | sodes will diminish. He, or she, may | always cry easily; many people do. But control comes with the years, or | at least @ substitution for control.
 The tendency may be partly in- herited. It may be the result of one | or more mysterious events earily in life, unsuspected at the time. There | may be only one such child in Q | family, of five and all have had the same training and experiences, or apparently so. Therefore t is hard to understand. But don't be im- patient with the one whose lachry- nal glands over-produce. Neither pet him nor scold him. Indeed the less accent put on his weakness the better. He will cure himself to 8 certain extent, if his life is normal ly happy and busy, that is. Copyright, 1886, NEA Service, Incl ]

The Truth About Diet
Dr. FiShbein Lists Easily Digestible Foods Available For Bland Diet
TODAY'S HEALTH QUESTION

Q.-More than a year ago my wife was operated on for appendicitis. Since then she has had a great deal of pain. Do you believe another oper- ation will be necessary
 A.-In such a case, it is not possible to give intelli- gent advice without a per- sonal examination. The pain which the woman has suf- fered since her operation for appendicitis probably is due to adhesions, which frequently follow abdominal operations and sometimes cause pain and distress for many months after the operation is per- formed. This occurs even when the operation is done by the wisest and most skill full surgeons. It is always uncertain whether a subse- quent operation will bring about an improvement in the condition.
