Spinach Is usually sent to the mar
ket in hole-punched barrels, left dry
and with a part of the root left on.
1t is most important that the spinach
be packed in either crates or barrels
free from all moisture, where a long
distance to the markets has to be
travelled. -
Moisture freshens the plant and
makes it appear double its size, but
1t causes the plant to deteriorate rap

The seeds sown directly in the open

 There should be potato salad with this meal, iced tea and hot coffee and plenty Of rolls and butter.
 Potato Salad (According to Irma 6. Rombauer,
 in Joy of Cooking")
 Boil potatoes in their jackets until tender. Chill for several hours, then peel. Marinate well with soup stock, chop or slice fine and add hard cooked eggs, onions, olives. celery, pickles, cucumbers Add some capers and season the salad with salt, paprika and few grains of cayenne pepper. After an hour or more, add boiled salad dressing or rnayonnaise. Make the salad very moist, as 1t will absorb Q great deal of liquid. 1t may be made in advance; in fact, 1t seems to taste better the geo. ond day.
 Potato chips. warmed in the oven, and hot baking powder bis- cults with tart jelly can be used instead of the potato salad.

Satisfactory beauty preparations to keep your skin young docking and attractive are easy to find these days. If you want to greet fall with smoother, clearer skin and fewer wrinkles by oil means shop around for some of the items experts are recommending,
 There is, for instance, a new night cream that the beauty minded like. Fairly light in tex- lure, this is to be patted into face and throat after 0 thorough cleans ing, then left on all night. One jar contains enough cream for 90 treatments.
 Naturally, if you follow diree. tons, using the specified amount of cream, taking care and time to apply 1t correctly and leaving 1t on for at least six hours, you will see results more quickly than one who uses 1t only now and then. Don't go around expeet- ing miracles. Simply get your cream and use 1t
 After q good old fashioned soap and water scrubbing, apply the cream, patting vigorously around mouth, across forehead, wherever there are wrinkles and lines. With clockwise strokes, smooth It around eyes. After one month, wrinkles and lines will be less obvious, But don't stop then, Keep up the nightly treatments. V.
 Also new Is Q tiny makeup kit to carry in your purse. 1t--no larger than one of the fatter lip- sticks - contains minute portions of lip rouge, cleansing and founda- ton creams and eyeshadow With this, it's e simple matter to do a pretty fair makeup job be- tween appointments during the day or when travelling.
 one who is serious about get ting rid of frown lines and laugh wrinkles might investigate tiny medicated piasters to be smoothed on over the bothersome lines ana left on while you sleep or when reading, doing Q bit of sewing or just rocking on the back porch py yourself.

MEDICAL AND POPULAR FALLACY or CONCLUSION

A reader asks for an explanation of brain coneussion. The reader de- scrihes Q man who suffered Q head injury in an automobile accident. Prior to the injury the man was active, alert, healthy, successful and had . pleasing personality. The diagnosis made ct the time of the accident was brain coneussion and Subdural hemorrhage." The patient was unconscious for two or three days after the accident. He made 6 gradual recovery. But now he Is irritable, very nervous twhatever that may mean) and has periods of depression and poor memory. Doc- tors advise rest and say 1t takes time for complete recovery.
 Right of the man described is evi- dently not suffering from the effects of brain concussion. He Is rather suffering from the effects Of Q blood clog upon the surface of the brain, Just underneath the membrane (dura) that covers the brain. I do not mean that I can diagnose such Q condition from the description or otherwise, but merely that 1t seems quite obvious that something else than just eoneussion Is in question here. If there Is reason to believe skull or head injury has caused hemorrhage within the skull, why think any more about "coneus- s!on"9
 The truth Is that there is no such condition as brain concussion, apart from the ordinary state of shock which may occur from any severe injury, or even from great fright without any injury. When shock occurs from an injury of the head there is no law against call- ing 1t "concussion" If you like, but for the victims interest 1t would be far better to call 1t shock and deal with 1t as you would deal with shock from any other cause.
 The danger involved In diagnos. ing shock from head injury as "concussion" Is that the vague sig

 Your Children
RY OllVa RNhaFta RartnM

Please. dear mother, never dis. cuss your boy or girl too much in their hearing, The less ct any time, the better.
 They hat being taken apart and analysed, as much as we do, Publicity is alien to tho roflned mind, always, and many children have extremely sensitive in- stlncts.
 We should respect their pri- vacies and not talk them over eternally with others. Of course we don't mean 1t rudely when we tell Mrs. smith that Charles sleeps curled up like Q hedgehog, or hates having his ears washed, We are so ready to talk about our sons, that we don't consider we are telling any tales out Of school. But mothers often lesa the confidence of their children by talking, however inno- gently.
 Violating . Confldencet A lad came to his mother with Q very confidential affair of the heart lie was just . kid, but very gal- lantly he had helped . camp neigh Dor to hunt . lest wind-hreaker. She had thanked hsm and asked him over to her house. And when he told his mother, he added half basin fully, "dee, I'd 60 anywhere for c pretty girl like that, She's got wonderful eyes,"
 His mother told the story to c friend, who teased him. He says he will never tell his mother any- thing again, and l believe him.
 There b a holy-of.hoiies in every childs heart that permits no proclamation. If Q parent is permitted to lift the veil, then honor should seal that mans or womans lips. Once . youth withdraws from confidence and keeps all to himself, it Is usually because of fear. Not always fear of criticism on the part of his listener, but dread of betrayal. Buried Treasure
 Should one parent tell another i what has come to him in confidence Tor confessionalp Yes, and no. While parents should share the problems of their children in most cases, still there are sacred times when c child will seek comfort or help only from the one who is most sure to un. derstand. Things he might hold to his heart forever if he thought the other parent were to know. Things better told than buried in his breast, believe that instinct will answer tlfis question, and that wise parents will choose well. Better for one to keep Johns trust than for both to lose 1t ell together. If both know 1t, then there is double need for preserving the precious thread. A breath may break 1t.

 The symptoms Of hay fever are definiteiy associated with the Feacs tons of the tissues to the pollens or protein substance concerned. It has been customary to describe the various forms Of hay fever accord- ing to the seasons in which they 0cctir-Ilafnely, spring, summer or eaIi types, and the perennial type which occurs at any time.
 When the substance get into the nose, the mucous membranes swell, the eyes become irritated and red. the throat becomes inhamed. There are some people whose noses seem f0 be sensitive but not their eyes; ptiaeEs in whom the eyes are much more disturbed than the nose, and still others in whom one eye is inS voivcd and the other is not ct all sensitive.
 Tn many instances, there is itch. ang of the nose and Of the skin over the nose. Sometimes there is severe itching in the ears, the roof of tile mouth and the throat.
 Unfortunately, more than one- half of those who have hay fever arc sensitive to more than one sub- stance. For this very reason 1t be- comes necessary to make tests with ail Of the poliens to find out which oneg bring on the attack.
 Grasses have been divided by the h0tanists into groups or classes and ft is frequently found that if Q per- son is sensitive to one of these pol- 1ens, he will be sensitive to all in zhe group. For instance, if a per- son ig sensitive to one variety of xngWeed, he may respond with hy- ecrsensitivity to the others.
 On the other hand, there has not heen a similar uniformity of reac- zIon to the pollens of the trees.
