with it altogether, but I'd cut it down to a sensible level. Four years of college to make a doctor. One year of hospital training to make a nurse. I dunno about lawyers or teachers. maybe they need some of the folderol in their business.

 Answer--A dentor can make a denture which will appear like nor- nal teeth. By all means have that done and save the cisild's mind from deteriorating.

 Answer-The doctor is honest. Of course. he doesn't know. No doctor or surgeon or specialist ever does know. But the repair of the rtip- tured and relaxed supporting sling or cradle should be made now.

Development Of Meningitis Serum Was
 Great Medical Achievement

from the horses then was used for the treatment of persons afflicted with the disease.
 AS I already have pointed out, more than 80 per cent of those infected with meningitis in the New York epidemic of 19O4-05 died of the condition. With the use of the serum, more than 70 per cent of 1900 patients recovered.
 If the serum is given quite early, and in sufficient amounts, the per- centage of recoveries is still greater. There are fewer relapses, too, and practically no chronic cases, after proper serum treatment.
 Because the infection affects pri- marily the coverings of the spinal cord and the brain, direct injec- tion of the serum into the spinal fluid and, in those cases affecting the brain, into the brain fluid, is of exceptional value. It is aided by additional injections of the serum directly into the blood.
 It seems quite likely that men, ingitis germs which are living or ganisms occasionally modify in na- ture and that, from time to time, 1t is necessary to prepare new types of serum according to the new types of germs. Modern scientific labora- tories take this into account.

WOMAN,S REALM
GEOriting Yourself
D Ahcla Hart

A suave Easter tailleur IS twice as flattering if hips are slender, waistline trim and posture perfect. To look truly smart this spring one should get her figure shipshape be- fore she even starts to shop for clothes.
 Posture is one of the few beauty defects which can be corrected at no expense and little effort, regard less of age or size. Anyone can teach herself to stand with back bone straight so stomach is flat, hips forward, chest high.
 When you walk, use the upper a. well as lower parts of your leg. Too many do not seem to realize that legs should swing from the hips instead of the knees.
 Play that imaginative game o1 making believe you are suspended on a narrow ribbon from the sky. If you slump forward and let your chin drop, tlle ribbon will break.
 Or another way, imagine that string, with a weight attached, E fastened to the tip of your ear. It passes through shoulder hip joint and ankle. The knees ought to be flexible. If head, or any other por- ton of the body is out of line, the string will not pass through three sockets. Your feet are a base O. support.
 To test whether or not the imag- mary string actually passes througi, shoulder, hip and ankle correctly, do a deep knee bend without losing your balance. Simply let knees fall apart, put weight on toes, then bend. If you lose your balance and topple forward or backward, your posture is not correct.
 To get rid of a waistline bulge which will look pretty awful above the band of your new suit skirt, do these exercises several times a day:
 Lie flat on your stomach on the floor or a hard bed. Bend kneea, so feet are straight up. Now. keep ing elbows and forearms on the floor, raise right leg until knee of 1t rests on left foot. Hold position a few seconds. Relax, and repeat ten times.
 Lie on your back with hands folded across chest. Keeping heels against the floor and without using hands, raise body to 8 sitting position. Re- lax, then lower. Do not move arms at all.
 Now raise right leg upward as far as it will go. Lower very slowly. Repeat, raising and lowering left leg. Raise both legs. Lower them slowly and rhythmically.
 NEXT: Another posture test.

Boys will be boys. But in Fair grove Mich, that means high school youngsters can spin a skillet, too. Miss lola Clark, their teacher, re- ports that her class of 15 boys in cooking shows natural aptitude. Why not? Boys eat just the same as girls.
 They might as well prepare to be independent-learn to cook for themselves until they are ready to assume wife. And perhaps baked ham might be called one of the easiest and most profitable dishes for high school culinarists to mas ter. Especially when it is cooked with a dash of sunshine in it.
 Baked Ham With Sunshine Fruit
 Cl2 servings)
 One 9-pound ham, 1-2 cup brown sugar, Ia cup vinegar, stick cin- namon, sun-dried prunes, 1-2 cup sun -ripened crushed pineapple, and sun-dried apricots.
 Scrub ham with stiff brush. Place sugar and vinegar, all the fruits and cold water in large kettle. Sub- merge the ham. Cover. Bring slowly to just below boil. and continue to simmer until done. Allow 25 min- utes Simmering for each pound of ham. When done, leave in the water. Stand over night in those fruit and sugar fiavors for at least 12 hours.
 To bake, first remove skin, then with a sharp knife, cut of some of the fat. Rub well with brown sugar mixed with fine dry bread crumbs. Arrange whole cloves. in geometric pattern. Bake in moderate oven (350 degrees FL for hour. That's ham. Ask the boys.
 Beef tongue arouses the interest of future husbands. Its.size and un- usual shape place 1t outside the realm of ordinary food. They will enjoy learning how to prepare 1t. Try them out.
 Beef Tongue With Tomato Sauce
 6 servings)
 One beef tongue (better use a smoked tongue because 1t has g richer fiavor). Wash in cold water then place in large pot. Cover with cold water and simmer for about 2 Ia hours. Remove from water, skin, cut of fat and tough sections. Return to pot to reheat.
 Serve on large platter attractive ly garnished with parsley. In Q sep arate bowl, pass this tomato sauce: tablespoon butter. l tablespoon -four, 1-8 teaspoon dry mustard, 1-2 cup beef or chicken stock, l-2 cup canned tomato sauce.
 Heat butter, add -four and mus tard aind blend to paste. Slowly add stock, stir well. and then add to- mato sauce. Stir until smooth and of the right consistency. This sauce

Paris Styles By MARY FKNTRESs

Paris (UP)-Many evening gowns from Jean Patou were noted in the smart French audience at recent benefit performance of 'The New Men"
 Princess Gerome Murat wore a tailored midnight suit in black satin. The long skirt was straight and well fitted except for a flare in back. The tailored jacket had wide revers, fastened with two buttons at the fitted waist and Is finished with a short tail that swoops out in back This was worn over blouse of pearl embroidery topped by small black bow at the high neck. Her wrap was a long cape of chinchilla.

hygiene and the ways of health and sickness. The queries come from individuals of all walks of life and there seems to be uniformity of ig- norance of self among all classes. Of course, people who are ade- quately informed may not submit questions at all. it might be pre- sumed. Yet nearly every day there are letters from doctors, dentors, clergymen, teachers, lawyers, pub fishers, editors, writers, explorers, politicians, soldiers, mothers, H. brarians, hired pfopagandists and just plain nuts whose purpose is to pat me on the back or else to give be a k. i. t. p. for something have said in this column. So l believe a doctors mail bag gives him good l idea of what people think and know about health..
 There is a familiar saying that what you don't know will never worry you" or words to that effect. In some respects that may be so Almost anybody would worry bit if he knew that he is going to be accidentally struck by neighbor's $ car backing out of driveway next New Years Day and killed. On the other hand, one of the joys in this racket is the knowledge that unde-- standing often brings freedom from worry and fear--and there is an astonishing amount of worry and fear which understanding can dis pei.
 Certainly the popular view is changing. People who were igno- rant of hygiene and rather gloried in and paraded their ignorance as mark of refinement a generation ago are today eager students of the {, subject.
 The average layman's education and training makes his attitude toward hygiene comparable with my attitude toward thrift. My diff ficulty has always been to begin saving just a little when I have plenty for the day. It has always been so much easier to spend the whole surplus from day to day and from month to month while things are coming my way and the sun shines brightly. Only trouble with this scheme is it lets you down ter ribly on rainy days.
 It is hard to persuade the indi- vidual who enjoys good health to- day to pay any attention to the conservation of health. His impulse is to laugh at doctors and pills and enjoy, maybe abuse, his health, and let tomorrow take care of itself That individual is my pigeon. Everything I say in this column Is aimed at him. To lure him with in range I try to make good medi- cine good fun. After all, there is nothing in the pursuit of hygiene and health that is not good fun Il you don't take life too seriously.
 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Down with Education

Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

I had an Idea for . story. NexL day I forgot 1t. I kicked my brains about and then concentrated. No good, no good at all. A nights sleep and a busy morning had knocked 1t to limbo.
 Then I began a creeping process. With stealth and cunning l sneaked in the back door of memory. Where was I when I thought that thought? An, in the hall. I was reaching up to turn on light. I had the little do-funny at the end of . chain in my hand. Smack-bank, out came the idea as though 1t had never been in hiding for stark hours while I groped.
 This association of ideas before, I believe to be the only answer to memory. Try 1t on yourselves, you mothers who are simply sure your gall-stones or thin blood are slowly sapping your minds away. And gently convert husband, who is quite as certain that his ledgers have worn his brain to 8 thread so that memory has gone with the could 1t. be "wind"?
 Applicable to Children
 And, of course, I have to drag the poor children into this. But needn't say poor" because the earlier in life they learn to play fox and hound with memory, the better. It is the only answer. Sneak up On it in any peculiar fash- | ion you can, he can or they can.
 "Who was 1t who said that to me?" you are trying to recall. Who told me that war-debts were so involved in exchanges and can \ cellations that nobody knew what we had coming?
 'No, it wasn't MT. Green or Mrs. Swane or Doctor Peters. Yet, mo- body else has been here. We'll must be going crazy, but someone said that just two years ago."
 It doesn't matter, but again you feel that dread of losing your mind, the more it resists yielding
 Well, O. all things, sec al chair" you say. Tt was some body sitting in the old Queen Anne. And also see something shining" It isn't enough. Lots of people have sat in the old Queene Anne and there was plenty of sur- realist shining here and there. as :" you vaguely review the scene. The cigaret box, the lamp, the glow of the fire.
 The Bald Facts
 But this shining was neither high nor low. It was-for goodness sake, it was bald head. Now I have it. It wasn't two days ago, but two weeks ago, that old MT. Mason stopped in. Eureka! Mfr. Mason was the one" But you still worry. Why all the struggle to get at something as simple as that? Don't worry. It is exactly what memory is.
 Johnny can't remember his les sons. He is grand at reasoning, but memory is bad. Don't tell Johnny he has bad memory, and don't let him hear you tell anybody else.
 Try and work out, some sort of a system to help him. He gets the Baltic and the Black Seas mixed. Very well--put a ball on the Baltic. and a spool of black thread on the other.
