vorite dinner and then putting her arms around his neck and talking about the most beautiful coat" seemed pretty funny. But the me- cessity for such feminine contriving wasn't.
 The need for independence that today's women show by hanging on to their jobs as long as they can, isn't a new feeling.
 Grandmother had garden from which she sold vegetables for money of her very own. Or she managed to get a monopoly on the eggs or milk.
 Today, jobs outside the home offer women a chance to make "egg money'-and they jump at the chance.
 Many wives, of course, have to work. Or at least that's the way 1t looks on paper. But it's safe to bet that the number who have to work would dwindle if women had to turn over their pay cheeks intact to their husbands-and have little bits dished out to them, at the husbands pleas ure.

CIRCULATION AND BREATHING

CIRCULATION AND BREATHING
 Besides the simple breath-hold- ing test of the efficiency of the heart-if you can hold your breath 40 seconds your heart must be fairly efficient there is another functional test which is technically more difficult bus which gives a more definite index of the efficiency of the circulation. First, count the pulse and measure the systolic blood pressure with the subject sit- ting at rest. Then let the subject ascend a flight of twenty steps rapidly. Now count the. pulse and measure the systolc blood pressure again. Normally there is an in- crease of twenty beats per minute and rise of 8 millimeters in the blood pressure. If the pulse rate increases as much as thirty beats in a minute the heart is inefficient. If the blood pressure rise is slower and reaches only 6 millimeterS, and soon falls below normal, or if there is no distinct rise of blood pressure at all after the run upstairs, the circulation is deficient, and the subject needs careful examinat tion and good medical advice.
 Such tests may reveal impair ment of the hearts efficiency or slow heart muscle failure or in- cipient cardiovascular degeneration long before the condition reaches a stage that produces symptoms which point toward the heart, such as short-windedneSs or breathless- ness on moderate exertion which formerly did not cause one to get out of breath, slight but persistent cough, perhaps slight swelling of feet or ankles toward evening.
 Symptoms more popularly asso- ciated with heart trouble, such as palpitation, pain felt in the region of the heart, and consciousness of skipped beats" or irregularities of heart action, are generally not in- dicatives of heart disease at all.
 A "murmur" is a musical adven- titious sound heard in or about the heart. One may have loud mur- mur without any heart disease of any kind; on the other hand, there may be no murmur audible in a case of serious valvular leakage, especially when there is lost com- pensation, great dilatation of the heart. In the latter circumstance, if and when fair compensation is, recovered and the heart once more functions with a fair degree of efficiency, the murmur is likely to return. So, you see, it is futile for a layman to bother his head about murmur in any case better leave it to the doctor and give your entire attention to the business of keeping or recovering the best state of health you can.
 The purpose of breathing is to supply oxygen to the blood and to blow off the carbon dioxide which the blood brings back to the lungs from the functioning muscles, or gans, glands or tissues. One of the main purposes of the circulation is to carry oxygen to the cells of the body and return the products of oxidation, metabolism, combustion, functional work, from the cells of muscles, organs, glands and tissues to the excretory organs for dis posal--the lungs, kidneys, intes- tine, liver, skin. So it is clear that breathing and circulation are both concerned with oxygenation and there can be no serious disturbance

 Raw Apple Pulp for Sick Baby
 In Europe and the United States the use of raw apple diet for infants or older children with dysentery or acute diarrhea or acute gastroenteri- ties has been favorably reported on. I think you mentioned this some time ago. Would you kindly give some more explicit directions? (Mrs w. w. B.
 Answer-For from "A to 48 hours give the infant no other food than scraped apple-ripe, mellow, raw apple, scraped or grated to pulp, and two heaping tablespoonfuls of this pulp or puree every three or four hours. For thirst, instead of water give the sick baby only very veal; tea. Older children or adults with acute intestinal trouble may take much more of the scraped apple at time. It is good treatment for acute diarhhea in an infant of any age.

was still wondering today about an
unusual experience of his yesterday
afternoon in which he was literally
"out" at the wheel of his automobile
for about three hours.
Mr.. Carrie was returning from
Friendsville to Oakland, having left
the former town about 1 o'clock.
About 5 o'clock Mr.. earle awakened
in the seat of his car and wondered
about his condition and his where
abouts. His car was in field about
fifty yards off the road. The ignition
was still turned on. He was about
midway between Friendsvllle and
Route PIG, north of Accident.
He has decided he had heart at

house operators was held in the Noun
tain Lake Hotel last Friday evening
to discuss ways and means to bring
the State Convention of the American

This is not confined to boarding
houses and hotel operators, but own
ers of private cottages with available
room are asked to communicate with
DR.. Hall.
