Rest In Cool, Bracing Open Air
 Is Valuable In T. B. Treatment

helpful but, if the circulation of the blood is not good and the re- action to cold air is insufficient exposure to cold air need not be routine.
 In any type of outdoor life, ex- posture to dust, wind, rain, and fog is undesirable. Heat or cold is great excess is dangerous to health. Warm, moist climates are believed to have a depressing ef- feet, and cool, dry climates a stimulat ting one.
 People who are severely ill in the early or late stages of tuberculosis need not seek change in climate In such cases complete rest in bed either at home or at a nearby Sani- torium, should be the first step in treatment.
 Climate generally is now sec- ondary in the treatment of pull monary tuberculosis, and removal of the patient is not important if he can get proper rest, suitable food, and contentment of mind tc better advantage at home.
 The question of personal con- tentment and satisfaction is i'm portant If patient is constantly unhappy ard homesick, he vii not do so well in sanitorium as he will at home. A sanitorium however, is valuable in regulating and establishing for the patient g suitable routine of treatment thai might be difficult to arrange al his home.

Your Children By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

in offices recommending nostrums to each other for acid systems. Suppose the meat money runs out and we have to buy tough cuts until next pay day. We grouch and act like babies over the lost tenderloin, but Johnny picks up his fork and sails right in. He eats it and likes it.
 Babes as Teachers Mother says, My poor darling, you have to wear that same old sweater for another month" And Junior says, What's wrong with this sweater? I've always worn it, haven't IF"
 Oh, babies, babies, what great things you could teach us if we would only listen, and listen well!
 Are we going to sour you as we have hurt ourselves? Are we going to pass to you the germs of our own discontent? Are we pity ing you, when you don't want pity?
 Will we teach you to see the rain. to notice the defects in existence, to dwell on the hangover from pain, and trouble, to turn your eyes down instead of up, back instead of for- ward?
 Usually children are not aware of being unhappy. Sometimes it is necessary to include them in our condolences and explain that cir- cumstances could be improved, which cannot help making them worry conscious" but for the most part they are far more contented by nature than adults. They never quite comprehend what we call trouble.
 Take What Fate Hands Them Of course they are. quick to note comparisons and to want what other children have, if they do not have reasonable share of good times or possessions, but unless the discrepancy is too great they adjust themselves excellently well to cir- cumStances.
 All in all, they are our real phil osophers, with none of the pessi- mism of age. They aren't disillus- toned or disgruntled, but merely liv- ing by the day. taking life as it comes, and packing the living min- utes with happiness.
 Children are not all happy all of the time, by any means, and any statement to the contrary would be far from the truth, but under req sonable, normal conditions, in fair health and in average homes, here bloom our optimists and we should be willing to admit 1t.

i interfereS with phgacytosis, that is, the migration of leucocytes (white blood corpuscles) or phago- cytes through the tissues where they normally infest and destroy invad- ing bacteria. In other words medica- mentS having marked aStringent influence impede natural healing processes.
 It is in any case a question for the physician to determine whether and when any such local remedy to shrink the swollen mucous menl- brane is necessary or advisable = it may be most essential in the suc- cessful treatment of sinusitis to re- duce the swelling and maintain drainage from the sinus. So I think such agents as adrenalin and ephed- rine should be left to the hands of the physician, or should be used by the patient only under immediate instruction by his physician. For infants and children with per- sistent obstruction and excessive mucous secretion in the nose, per- haps most troublesome at night when it drains back into the throat and gives rise to irritation or coughing, 1t is harmless and usually helpful to drop one or two drops of bland oil solution of vitamin D in each nostril at bedtime. Older children or adults with sinus trouble may use three or four drops of the same solution in each nostril twice a day.
 QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
 Muscle TOnus
 believe I read in your column that insulin strengthens the heart muscle and the stomach muscle. Would you advise 8 patient to take insulin to strengthen the heart? My physicians seem to know nothing of this. (M.J.P.)
 Answer-I think I said poor mans inSulin-vitamin B-helps to streng- then weak heart muscle and also weak tro-intestinal muscle. Opti- nal ration of vitamin B has been found to make the diabetic's re- quirement for ir1sulin lower = a smaller daily dose of insulin serves to keep the carbohydrate metabo- lism normal. Insulin might improve the tonus of heart muscle, but do not suggest such treatment. Rather see that your intake of vitamin B is bit above what may be necessary to prevent manifest deficiency dis ease.
 Phosphorus
 My doctor has given me phos- phorus pills to take. Do you know of any preparation that contains metabolized phosphorus? (Mrs. w. F. A.)
 Answer-Yes, a glass of milk con- tains about three grains of metabol- jed phosphorus. Other hich sources of metabolized phosphorus are chees. egg yolk, beans, lean beef, oatmeal, peanuts ana plain wheat. Copyright 1887, by John F. Dille Co.

RELIEF OF NASAL CONGESTION

RELIEF OF NASAL CONGESTION
 Correspondent agrees with the advice given here that aspirin is neither cure-all nor cure for anything, but disagrees with the advice given here that powerful casomotor contrictors such as adren- alin and ephredrine are not to be used indiscriminate1y but only for emergency purpose or by or under the physicians supervision. He knows more than l do about it, for he is subject to what he calls chronic compositions of the nasal passages and he has long used ephedrine solution and still uses it. and probably will go on using 1t for a long while.
 Ephedrine or adrenalln, applied to the nasal mucous membrane in the form of spray, drops, oil, un- guent or by swabbing, are as alike as Ike and Mike, powerful caso- motor Stimulants. The vasamotor nerves control the calibre of the smallest arteries or arterioles (not capillaries, which are not blood vessels but mere spaces between tissue cells). Stimulation of the vasomotor nerves causes the arteri- oles to contract and blanches or shivels the tissues they supply with blood-squeezes the congested, intumescent, boggy or over-filled mucous membrane as you might squeeze out sponge in your hand. The immediate relief this gives, where the nasal passages are all stopped up and the sufferer is most uncomfortable, is great. But, like the lift a person gets from any strong stimulant, the effect is only temporary, and the after-effect is likely to be as bad or worse than before.
 Just as striking as the primary constriction of the minute vessels in the inflammed and swollen mucous membrane and he consequent shrinking, with opening of the nose and 8 period of comfortable breath ing and diminished secretion, is the secondary or after effect, relax ation, peresis or partial paralysis of the vasomotors, and a consequent return of even greater discomfort than there was before. You see, chil- dren, each aplication of such strong stimulant creates a need for more.
 Where inflammation is present as there usually is, frequent repe- tition of this casomotor contriction

In the years that have passed since Francis Trudeau first intro- duced sanitorium care for the tuber- culous in this country, great pro- greSs has been made in the treat ment of this disease.
 In the old days, one of the first measures to be considered in the cure was change of climate. We are convinced nowadays that it is quite possible to find suitable climate anywhere in the world and that the only advantage in travelling to hunt a cure is the benefit that comes from a change of surroundings.
 In general, it is well established that open air is helpful to the tuberculous and that it is most eff fective when the temperature of the air is cool and bracing.
 This method of treatment may be begun promptly and developed into a habit. The patient could remain out of doors during the day. time and, in many cases, sleep out of doors as well. although outdoor sleeping is not essential if screened porches or open windows provide plenty of air.
 In general, cold air seems to be

Dorothea Lawrence, attractive dark haired concert soprano, thinks that more women should learn to enjoy cosmetics. The singer is not. against the trend toward natural effects, but she does think that it can be overdone.
 "A girl who really gets a thrill out of owning and using beauty preparations is more likely to be perfectly made up than one who gets an item or two only when driven to it, then puts them on with 8, well-I-suppose-I-had-bet- ter take ime-out-for-this attitude. As a'matter of fact, if it sets of a woman's type or makes others take notice of her, don't object to, ne-too-subtle artificiality."
 Miss Lawrence went on to say that she often uses nail lacquer to match her costume (black with black, blue with blue, and so on). And she doesn't consider it one bit more unnatural than blood red, deep rust or mauve. shades. She knows that most peo- pie would be. glad to argue this point, but she doesn't see why 1t matters so long as she keeps her. self amused and doesn't hurt any, one else.
 When planning a concert, Dor- othea Lawrence spends as much time deciding on the right make up as she does pondering over the correct costume.
 T think a concert singer should strive to appeal to the eye as well as the ear of her audience. An ex- cellent voice sounds twice as lovely if the singer behind it wears in spired clothes and makeup"
 Miss Lawrence is five feet five and one-half inches tall. She weighs 119 pounds; does not pluck her eyebrows: always wears long, dangling earrings; applies rouge sparingly, lipstick lavishly. In ,addi- ton to regular dressing table, covered with all kinds of perfumes, powders, creams and ~tonics, she has a second dressing table in her bedroom. The top of it is covered and the drawer filled with bottles of nail polish!
