QUESTION X ANSWERS Modern Treatmenft

My brother is indebted to you for suggesting Dr. ...... who gave him injection treatment and completely cured his hemorrhoids of ten years standing. My husband has for sev- eral years, suffered from hydrocele Is there any cure for that short oi an operation? (Mrs. R. E. L.)
 Answer-Yes, physician skilled in injection treatment can cure hy- drocele without detaining the pa- tient from his usual work or busi- ness.
 Pupils Contract and yDilate
 Have noticed that the pupils of my eyes dilate quite frequently. Might this be sign of eyeStrain or is 1t natural for some persons to have larger pupils? (M. H.)
 Answer-Pupils of younger per- sons are larger than those of older persons. Larger in near-sighted than in far-sighted persons. Pupils con- tract Tn light,s dilate in shadow or when the light is less intense. They dillate when the eye regards an ob- ject at a distance; contract when the eye regards an object close by. Some general disease conditions af- feet the size of the pupils; and some drugs cause them to dilate or contract.

Authorities agree that the beauty of the children of tomorrow lies ln the hands of mothers of todays babies. If her hair, skin, figure and nails are cared for properly during the first few years of her life, any healthy little girl is sure to grow up to be attractive-if not a real beauty.
 The modern baby, according to a mother who is also doctor on the staff of 8 large medical center, should be washed in warm water (no soap) for three or four weeks after birth, and oiled from head to foot after each bath. Bath soap, used sparingly from then on, is of the mildest variety, and the oiling continues daily until he is 8 year old, once a week from one to three, and occasionally even after three.
 Nurses and young mothers are cautioned against using quick, jerky motions when massaging oil into sensitive skin of the sensitive baby. They are advised never to let a young child go out to play in the snow or sit on a beach in very hot sunshine without first putting olive oil on his face. The infant whose little cheeks always are chapped isn't likely to have clear, petal- smooth skin at the age of IA.
 Baby's Scalp Needs Oil
 The 1887 mother does not scrape her child's scalp with a fine comb or rub cake of soap on his hair when she washes it. His scalp is washed with clear warm water for the first month of his life, dried gently, then oiled. The oil absolute ly prevents that fine crust which babies of yesteryear used to have on top of their little heads.
 AS soon as the light, fuzzy hair starts to grow, it is brushed twice a day with soft baby's brush. This gentle brushing keeps fuzz and scalp meticulously clean and stimulates

 Paris (UP)-One of the best mid- season collections of the season is presented by Worth. This is the oldest of all the big dressmaking establishments as the house was founded in 1858 and made popular by fashion leader Empress Eugenle of France.
 The new collection stresses a slim, normal waistline and full, har- ing skirts for day and evening. The divided skirt is used very effectively for dresses for all occasions. Sports as we'll as travelling clothes have neatly tailored divided skirt.
 One costume, called Le Bourget, which is the name of the large air. port outside Paris, is of navy blue jersey made on overall jumper lines with full divided skirt. The jump CT is worn over a high-necked. short-sleeved sweater of lime green knit. A short, full, collarless jacket of striped seal skin completes the costume.
 Beach clothes likewise are made with divided skirt and Worth re- wives beach pajamas instead of the slacks, which were worn SO much the last few years. The pajamas are of amusing cotton prints-white sailing vessels on bright blue background and other marine de- signs. Shantung also is used a great deal for; beach wear in full, f1ared shorts with an over skirt or jumper that comes to mid-calf length. These are worn with darker tinted blouSeS.
 Enormously full skirts are shown for evening, divided and cut cir- cular. The division is rarely no- ticeable as the skirts are so full. Organdies as well as crepes in light tones are used for these summer evening gowns.

Don't they look luxurious? But these new, two-fabric curtains are as easy to make as the peas-in-a- pod kind.
 One half the gay pair is chintz, brightly lowered in willow green and amethyst; the other half, egg shell net. Both chintz and net are edged with knife-pleated ruffles in plain willow green-rltfles you buy ready-made.
 To get those graceful lines cut your chintZ curtain 1-2 times the inside w.2h of the window. Cut the net curtain twice the inside width.
 Gather the curtains so they'll hang in even folds. Then fasten the gathers to tapes. You can run rods through the tapes or fasten them to valance board.
 For tie-backs and valancelike fin- ish, use more of the willow green pleating.
 Our 32-page booklet shows you each step in the making of smart draperies and curtains. All about trimmings, pinch pleats, valances.

circulation, thereby bringing up more blood to nourish hair follicles and make for healthy, vibrant hair throughout life.
 After baby is a month old, his hair can be washed once 8 week with warm water and bland liquid shampoo. Always oil the night be- fore the shampoo. After eighteen months, baby's hair can stand stiff fer hair brush, and it should be used every night. After seven, chil- dren should be able to brush, their own curly locks.
 Diminutive fingernails should be cut with sharp manicure scissors, preferably while baby is sleeping. Use toothpick, wrapped in cot ton, for cleaning-never sharp nail file. Now and then, oil cuticle and push it back with another tooth- pick, also cotton wrapped. If your five-year-old insists upon biting his nails, take him to doctor and ask him what to do. "As the Twig Is Bent" A soft, sterilized cloth, dipped in warm water, is used to clean the modern infants gums. When teeth begin to appear, they are cleaned with a cloth dipped in milk of mag nesia. As they get larger, a small soft toothbrush is used, of course, and baby sees his dentist every six months, gets his teeth brushed after every meal and at night be- fore going to sleep. If the dentist recommends a strengthening device for either first or second set, to- days mothers take his advice seri- ously.
 Posture is something to think about from the moment youngster begins to toddle. No pillows in the crib, please-they cause round shoulders, a double chin and such. Make your young hopeful hold her stomach in and get her into the habit of standing and walking with backbone straight instead of curved inward in the middle. Teach her to hold her little head high and to make the muscles at the sides of her neck support 1t.
 Later on, urge her to look people straight in the eye when she shakes hands and to stand with her weight on both feet. End one sport in which she takes active interest; then. if possible, hire professional instructor to teach her to play it. Being able to do one thing excep- tionally well makes for the kind

ficiently to prevent Information.
 Nitschke further found that when there is decreased thyroid gland function the amount of iodin in the blood is below normal. In ricketS, which we know is due to insufficient vitamin D, the blood iodin is always below normal. From these observa- tions the investigator infers that the lowered or Subnormal basal meta bolism in rickets is due to decreased thyroid gland function brought about by vitamin D deficiency.
 Physicians today believe that ALL infants require daily ration of vitamin D in one form o ran- other, to supplement their food in- take of this vitamin which is in- variably deficient. I believe older children and many young adults, too, get insufficient vitamin D and suffer various functional and de- velopmental troubles in conse- quence, of which, in adults, kind of Information is one.

WOMAN,S REALM
Your
 Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

Little Bertha came downstairs dragging her suitcase behind her. and Aunt Jean met her just as she was putting on her hat and coat.
 "Why, darling, what's happened? Where on earth are you going?"
 Home" said Bertha calmly. "I think I'll go back and stay with Tilda."
 Aren't you having a good time here?" wondered her aunt Daddy and mother won't be home till Sunday and this is only Wednesday. Tilda won't be there tomorrow and you can't stay in the house alone"
 linen SIll go to Clara's next door," said Bertha. T guess I can't stay here"
 Aunt Jean stopped and took the small figure in her arms. "Tell Jean what's wrong, dear. I thought you were having nice time. And there's the party I'm having for you tomorrow and everything. We're all going to the Zoo on Friday and on Satur- day Uncle Jim will be home What it is? Don't you like the children next door? If that's it., I won't let Anna and Dick come over any more. Maybe you're just homesick."
 Just a Matter of Dresses
 But Bertha wouldn't tell what the trouble was. Indeed she couldn't because the matter that troubled her and caused her such unhappinesS was not quite clear to herself.
 However, she deluctantly took off her tam and let her aunt slide her coat down. It was an hour before Jean had the slightest ink ling of anything.
 Mother said my green sweater was to go with my green plaid dress, and my red coat with the striped dress" Bertha announced If I wear my striped dress to- day, do I have to wear the green sweater?"
 A light suddenly dawned. Jean had habit of experimenting with her niece. Moreover she re- membered now that she had said something the day before to friend, when she thought the child out of ear shot, about think ing that her sister could dress her in better taste. Bertha was proud of little silk her mother had made, and was all set to wear it to her party, but her aunt had taken her downtown and bought 8 white linen, very plain.
 Strengthening Matters Out
 The child felt that she was be- ing criticized, and her mother also. She was only seven, but she had her pride.
 Suddenly Jean said: Come here, sweetheart" and took Ber- tha on her lap.
 q want to tell you something" ," she said. q think I made 8 ter- rible mistake about hat sweater. Your mother was right all the time. It looks best witht he plaid. And the red certainly belongs with the striped one. Then I've been thinking too about your new dress, dear. It really is too plain for party and your blue silk is just too beautiful, anyway. Your mother gets you lovely things, and just don't know anything"
 Bertha was instantly happy.
 T do like it here, aunty," she sighed. Why, you know, didn't want to go home at all"
 We must be, oh, so carefully not to wound a little child in his royalties.

 Cosmetic counters are covered with new beauty items intended to enhance your summer glamor. From preparations to keep young conn plexions unlined and satiny smooth to corrective creams and lotions for older skins, there's allure in every item.
 Brand new are ankle slenderizers. Supposed to make ankles more shapely, these are washable, ad- justible and are to be worn about one hour each day - not all night. The company which makes them also has a new, type of chin strap that should be a boon to any girl who has second chin or even slight fullness beneatr her jawbone. It, too, is to be worn about an hour each day.
 A forehead band smooths out yer tical lines between eyebrows and frown lines on the forehead. It's a good idea to clean and cream your face before putting it on. The bit of cream which remains acts as a softener while the band is doing its. ironing-out work.
 If the pores on nose and chin see mlarger than they were last fall, you might try pore cream three nights week. Simply smooth it on the large-pore areas and leave It there all night. Within a month you'll notice difference in the tex ture of your skin.

Afternoon weddings have their own special tidbits.

METABOLISM OF THE GROUND HOG

HOG
 Hedge hog is the European spe- cies of marmot. Ground hog is the { American species, commonly called woodchuck. Candlemas Day, Febru- ary 2, according to the tradition, the woodchuck emerges from his long winter sleep in quest of food pr water or oxygen-all of which necessities of life have been pretty completely used up during the months of hibernation-and if he sees his shadow goes right back into his hole and resumes hibernat- ing for while longer. This tradi- ton implies that the wise old wood chuck reasons that if he is stil fat enough to cast noticeable shadow enough nutriment remains avail able for several weeks more hiber- nation.
 ]. However that may be, during hi- bernation the metabolism slows away down, the body temperatures is lowered many degrees below normal, the breathing is very slow and shallow, and the pulse rate and circulation decrease in propor- .tion.
 s A hibernating hedgehog has been submerged in Water 9 1-2 minutes without injury, though when awake and active hedgehog would drown in three minutes or less.
 Woodchucks lay up nor store of fn0d for the winter hit accllnu- late 8 surplus of body fat, and this fat is the food they live on through the winters Information and also provides nourishment for the young born to the mother during hiber- nation.
 A German investigator, Nitschke, made the interesting observation that Information can be prevented by administering to the hedgehog a fair dose of vitamin D throughout kthe winter. The animals so treated lFemained awake throughout the win ter, continued to take food, main- stained their normal summer body Temperature, while other hedgehogs not, given vitamin D hibernated as is the family custom.
