IAL FOR CORPOSES
 It is quite a while since I have done any killing on a large scale. Don't know whether I am going soft or whether I just haven't happened to meet many who needed 1t. But l am collecting material for series of mystery stories and I'll be happy to receive and file data readers may sendein concerning individuals who would quality for the role of the corpse in such 8 story. I have on hand an ample supply of buffers and vicars, but I find my stock of likely corpse stuff is running low.
 To avoid duplication let me men, ton that hey, already in the cool CT the swir2 rho ridicules, sneers at or in any I.ay calls undue atten- ton to the member of 8 party who declines to smoke, drink or indulge in any other error of hygiene or ethics or infraction of law or mor- als which the crowd may desire to do. Aside from the wretched i'll breeding of such coercion, 1t betrays degeneracy, and on these grounds I submit one would be rendering 8 public service by removing such characters from the scene.
 have submitted but not accepted as yet specimens of the open-face sneezer or tougher. After all, 1t is doubtful whether this common boor is anywhere nearly as nefarious as the polite conversational spray car- rier of the cri Common Respira- tory Infection). For one alleged "cold" spread by the boor who coughs or sneezes upon any one who happens to be within his twelve-foot range there are prob- ably fifty cases of assorted respira- tory infections, everything from coryza to pneumonia, from measles to meningitis, all peddled by the agency of conversational spray, This has a range of two to four feet only, but high potential virulence because the spray is invisible and impalpable. Until the rank and file of public health authorities recog- nize the menace of conversational spray and teach people to beware of 1t, I feel that the culprit who spreads the cri in this way is ade- quately punished is we just cut out his diaphragm or mute his larynX- that is, if he refuses to wear a mask. Not much respiratory infec- ton is conveyed in a whisper, and if you object to whispering then ten layers of gauge or cheescloth hav- ing 32 threads to the inch, over nose and mouth, will pretty effect ively stop all conversational spray as well as sneeze or cough spray.
 If you are not too bored to finish, please run over with me the list of respiratory infections which, in my opinion, are usually spread through the agency of conversational spray and in only majority of instances by open-face cough or sneeze spray:
 Ordinary coryza, also known as | acute catarrh, "cold in the head,
 acute rhinitis, distemper.
 Simple sore throat, also known as pharyngitis.
 Tonsilitis.
 Quinsy, also known as abscess
 around the tonsil.
 Diphtheria.
 Scarlet fever.
 Measles.
 MumpS.
 Whooping cough.
 Acute bronchitis.
 Broncho-pneumonia, also known
 as capillary bronchitis, suffocative
 catarrh, lobular pneumonia.
 Lobar pneumonia, also known as
 lung fever, pleuro-penumonia.
 Cerebro-spinal meningitis, also
 known as brain fever. Influenza, also known as grippe.
 Acute polimyelitis, also known as infantile paralysis.
 Hot Fog
 Family of three children now has no meat other than weiners. They argue they can't afford any other meat since meat went up in price. One of the children seems under nourished, does not get along at school, will not drink milk. Can you suggest any way to make such children like milk? They might have plenty of good milk at a cost next to nothing CD. A. S.)
 Answer-Pound of weiners. frank furters, hot dogs. yields about 3-4 of the nutritive value of pint of milk. Best way to correct the bad habit Is to withdraw the highly sea- soned sausage, and provide milk with bread. crackers, cake, cookies, bananas, etc, and when the chil. dren get over the hot dog craving they'll recover normal appetite and dispose of the milk and other wholesome food.
 Gum Chewing
 My dentist says he ought to enc courage gum chewing. for it brings him considerable business by spreading infection from one tooth to others in the mouth. I believe the hahit IA q eOntFihutinR eallne Of
