vALvULAR INCOMPETENCE

Provided the heart itself, con- sisting mainly of involuntary mus cle, is well noUrished, that is, has an unhampered supply of blood through the coronary arteries, and the blood brings the quantity and quality of nutriment required, nota- ply, among other essentials, Sufh- cient vitamin B complex and vita min D, its functional efficiency or competence to maintain good cir- culation under varying circum- stances of rest, work, play or strain, will depend upon the state of the heart valves.
 It is not perversity nor 8 desire to make the problem more difficult that causes me to inject the vita- min B into a talk about heart effi- ciency. Whether there is valvular lesion or leakage or not, recent ob- servations by good clinicians in large hospital wards have proved that habitual or prolonged deficiency of vitamin B complex and sunshine vitamin D must be considered a factor in the crippling of the pa- tient by loss of heart efficiency in the majority of cases. Patients who are compelled to give up work and spend many weeks in bed or at rest because of dilated heart or decom- penSation or impairment of the ca pacity of the heart to maintain ade- quate circulation, recuperate in con- siderably shorter time and recover fitness to work if they receive extra large rationS of vitamin B complex and sunshine vitamin D during dis ability. By the same token, any one whose heart is so handicapped, is less likely to suffer from such loss of compensation or from cardiac di- lation, if he or she gets enough of these vitamins every day.
 In order to understand what valv- ular disease or incompetence or leakage means one must know that there are four chambers in the heart. These chambers are, as the blood circulates, first the left auri- cle into which freshly oxygenated or purified blood comes through the large pulmonary veins from the lungs. From the left auricle the blood passes through the mitral valve into the left ventricle during diastole in the interval between the contractions or beats of the heart. When the heart beats, the mitral valve closes, preventing return of blood from the ventricle, and the blood is pumped out into the great artery or aorta through the aortic valve. Following this contraction or systole, during the rest interval between contractions or diastole, the aortic valve is closed so no blood can return to the ventricle from the aorta, but instead the elasticity of the great artery propels the blood along through the smaller arteries. Eventually the blood reaches the smallest arteries, called arterioles, visible only through mi- croscope. Then it passes into the

Mister Smarty?"
 Mrs. Watson came downstairs. T suppose it's the car again, isn't it?" she said. T wish cars had never been invented. I certainly wish ours was at the bottom of the sea. For exactly one year you two have been acting like cats and dogs. It isn't your car. It's your fathers. And I'm getting fearfully tired settling dis puteS by saying we are going to use it and then dragging myself out of the house when l don't want to go. As long as 1t is sitting in the garage, you two act as though both of you were in jail or some place. Neither of you, and especially Jim, can bear to think of staying at home an evening with us any more. You've got to be travelling"
 More Worry Than It's Worth
 "But tonight. Nom, it's the frat dance. And besides r." began Jim. But she stopped him.,
 "It is always tonight or tomorrow or next week. Always something. I am very tired of the quarreling, the constant absence from home, the whole strain. And I have noticed more selfiiShness in both of you. Not once do you think of taking me out. Last Monday, Jim simply couldn't stop for me after the League meet ing. He had something more im- portant to do. AS usual had to crowd into the Jones' car. They know very well. too, that we have a car with drivers in the family"

QUESTIONS 6 ANSWERS Vitamin B and Deafness

Vitamin B and Deafness
 Please repeat the instructions you gave. recently for the vitamin B treatment of deafness. It was re- ported as successful in some few cases of chronic deafness CT. E. O.
 Answer-Anyway it is harmless, and may improve the general health or yite even if it fails to help the deafness. A fair trial would be a daily ration of 1000 units of vitanlin B to supplement the diet. This should be continued for period of six or eight weeks. If any improve ment Is noticed, the vitamin B should be continued indefinitely remember, it is food, not medicine. How to get 1000 units of vitamin B is not so simple. Send stamped erl- velope bearing your address and ask how. One way is by consuming six ounces of wheat germ daily-a rather large order for most persons.
 Fitted, Ridged, Breaking Nails
 10 and behold my nails which had been cracked and broken and simply not growing since the birth of my first baby six years ago, be- gan to grow beautifully, became long, strong and smooth with lovely white tips. Then I stopped the cal- cium and vitamin D, and in about Q year my nails were again brittle, splitting and breaking all the time. I resumed calcium and >vitamin D feeding ane. in a month or two they began to get nice again. (Mrs. D. L. VI
 Answer-Thank you. Many per- sons whose nails are brittle, perhaps pitted or ridged, suffer from defi- ciency of vitamins D and G and probably from deficiency of calcium Send stamped envelope bearing your address, for monograph on Daily Requirement of Calcium, High Call cium Diet, Vitamins Everybody Needs.

GIOrIyng Yourself
MA service staR writer
By Alicia Hart

Even thought she has no intention of being outdoors a great deal dur ing the winter months, the wise girl knows that she must spend more time on beauty routines from De- cember to March than she does at any other season of the year. This is, if her skin is to stay soft and smooth, hands equally smooth and hair glossy and healthy.
 Over-expoSure to icy winds mars the texture of an otherwise lovely complexion, of course. But over heated rooms where the humidity is less than 40, play as much, if not more, havoc with your skin as the below-zero weather outdoors. And wearing hat so much of the time isn't exactly conducive to keeping your hair as lovely as movie stars.
 You should, of course, keep the radiator pans in your home filled with water or buy special humidi- fiers- some of which are fairly inex- pensive. Lacking radiators pans or humidifiers, or both, place jars of water in inconspicuous corners all over the house and remember to keep them filled.
 In addition, brush your hair every night to bring the natural oils from the scalp right down to the dry ends, and don't wear your hat more than is absolutely necessary. If someone in the family gets and uses a sun lamp as 8 cold preventive, borrow 1t once or twice a week and sun your hair and scalp for four or five min- utes. Don't let anyone tell you to wash your hair less frequently or that brushing will ruin your perma- nert. Every type of hair ought to be brushed every day. And sham poo once 8 week, or at least every ten days, is important.
 Substitute Cream
 For Morning Soap
 Unless your skin is oily, clean face and throat with soap and water only at night, using cream for morn ing and during -the-day cleansings If you are going out in the evening, cleanse thoroughly with cream, then apply a layer of night cream and leave 1t on for twenty minutes or half an hour before putting on makeup. And you'll use night cream every night before going to bed, of course.
 Now and then massage a bit of the same night cream into your wrists and elbows, and do use hand lotion several times a day. If the skin on your body gets dry and sen- sitive, investment in a bottle spe- cial after-bath body lotion will pay pretty big dividends.
 Fingernails, too, often get brittle, the cuticles dry and unattractive. To alleviate this condition, have your nails soaked in warm oil instead of warm,. soapy water during your weekly manicure. They can be held in the warm oil or else wrapped in little oil-soaked strips of cotton for several minutes.
