Another good first aid for burns is paste containing 10 per cent tan- njc and one-half of l per cent chlorbutanal Ca mild local anesthe- tic). This may be obtained in col lapsible tubes. as prepared and mar keted to druggists by one of the great pharmaceutical manufactur- CTS.
 If blisters occur, the best treat ment is continuous wet dressings of congresses or many folds of surgi- cal gauge or cheesecloth kept wet with either boric acid solution (teaspoonful of boric acid dissolved in pint of boiled water) or per cent solution of aluminium acetate.
 Certain cosmteics purport to pro- tect against sunburn; theoretically they may exclude part of the ultra violet rays which produce the burn, but practically it is doubtful wheth- CT such preparations afford any more protection than does ordinary zinc oxide paste or paint, such as mountain climbers use when out in the glare of sun on snow.

Polyneuritis

Is there any cure or help for multiple (poly) neuritis? (Mrs. J. c. W0 ....-
 Answer-Vitamin B prevents and cures it. Best sources of vitamin B are yeast and wheat germ. Dried pasteurized yeast does not ferment in stomach. From four to eight ounces of wheat germ may be in corporated in various recipes daily.
 Irritation by Spectacle Bows
 I have found the best relief for irritation of skin behind the ears by spectacle bows is frequent appli- cation of strong alum water, which let dry on. This is helpful also for one who has to wear a hearing device. co. c. ID
 Answer-Thank you. AS rule if the bows are carefully adjusted so that no undue pressure is made at any point, they cause no irritation. Copyright 1888, John F. Dille Co)

dividuality at all costs"
 I believe that today's children should obey more than they do, and try to please more than they seem to believe necessary.
 Mothers and fathers are natur- ally perpleXed about their author ity. They wonder if they dare to give a command and expect un- questioning obedience to it.
 I believe that obedience and CO., operation both can be encouraged without robbing the boy or girl of individuality or self-reliance.
 Children do not need to be shout ed at. The kindest and quietest of women can pack a world of auth ority into simple little request. The method of obtaining obedience is important, you see. In their fear of breaking down personality, another point in question, many mothers is sue orders uncertain as to outcome. The child, smart as ne is, knows this. He senses the hestitation in his mothers mind.
 Winning Cooperation
 The requisites of getting co-op- eration and ready obedience from a child are these: first of all, feeling in his mind that you, his parents, are reasonable and fair; second, that you are gentle but also strong. (And incidentally it is a re- lief to children ct have a right rigid hand under them.) Third, he must know that you play no favorites, and concede few permissions to brother that you would not give to him. Fourth, don't expect perfection all the time, but be willing to accept a generous attempt on the child's part to do his best, making allow ances for his natural temptations and driving urges.
 Discipline means leadership and help. It does not mean Scolding and whipping. These weaken, rather than strengthen, your hold. Fear is never the best medium of relation

Fashions come and fashions go makeup and coiffure modes change with the seasons, but soft, shiny hair and a clean, well-scrubbed look never go out of style. Winter or summer, spring or fall, and regard less of your age, size, what you do or where you live, it's smart to look clean, feel clean, BE clean-from head to foot.
 A weekly shampoo and at least one bath day-these are number one rules of the perfectly groomed woman. In addition, she keeps her bathroom well stocked with cleanli- ness accessories.
 A long handled bath brush hangs near the tub, and she uses it to keep knees and elbows as well as shoul- ders and back smooth and white. For the shower addicts in her fam fly, a special shower brush, with a strap instead of a handle, hangs near the long-handled one.
 There are two nail brushes - a little one for the children and a big one for their father and mother near the wash basin. And bath salts or oil, a box of dusting powder and a bottle of cologne, lined up on a glass shelf, make the daily bath infinitely more enjoyable.

Olive Roberts Which IS tr enough in a way, but this does not excuse them for disobeying their mother, or thinking her an easy mark and a nit wit-not in the least.
 Heed Theorists Too Literally
 Lest I get too caustic, it is only because I am becoming little fed up on the new independence of children. They are not so independ- ent when it comes to food, drink and clothes, movie money and monthly checks for coverage at college. I have always thought, and still think, that they can't afford to be too independent until they have learned how. That they should obey, even while they are being coached in liberal thinking and self reliance.
 But, mother, maybe one little fault is yours. Maybe the warnings of the specialists about "over-re- striction" and "represention" have frightened you, and you take your cue from the popular slogan of "n-

 Yes, St. Valentine undoubtedly had mans interest at heart. He wanted to simplify romance for him, and he did.
 But in the meantime what did he do for women? Well, the kind- hearted old masculine sympa- thizer robbed women of the joy of. little surprises.
 They have to take one bit of red satin sentiment and make it do a whole year. Thanks to him.
 When if St. Valentine hadn't regimented love, wives might be receiving little tokens of affection all through the year.
 A bunch of violets on any day. Breakfast in bed some gloomy morning. Tickets to show, when show is luxury. A gay scarf because-"It reminded me of you"

Glorityimg Yourself
By ALICIA HART

Clothes ought to be kept spotless- 1y clean and carefully pressed. It's mistake ever to begrudge a nickle spent on dry cleaner bills. Even lf your budget won't allow for much dry cleaning, you can still keep your clothes spic and span. Simply buy cleaning fluid by the gallon, use absolutely according to directions.
 A truly fastidious girl puts on fresh underwear and stockings every morning. She brushes her hat be- fore she puts it on, wipes or brushes shoes when she takes them oil, never wears soiled gloves, keeps the contents of her purse in order, doesn't try to make a white blouse do" another day. Her lingerie col- lars and cuffs are always clean and crisp, and she doesn't tolerate crooked heels or untidy grosgraln slipper bows or oxford ties for moment.
 She sponges off the inside of her coat collars with a bit of dry clean ing fluid regularly, is never too lazy to put sho trees in her shoes the minute she takes them of or to brush the dress she has worn all day before hanging it up.
 She knows that soap and water are about the best friends any beauty minded woman has. But she remembers to carry a tiny tube of cleansing cream or a compact or those new cleansing pads in her purse and thus never is tempted to put stale makeup on over at any time during the day.
 In other words, she's particular about seemingly little details, realiz- ing how important each is to the finished picture-that mental pie ture she has of the way she wants to look today and every day throughout the years.

BURNS AND SCALDS ARE SURGICAL EMERGENCIES


 Whether the injury is by flame or steam or hot liquid or contact with a hot surface or exposure to the sun, it is always surgical condi- tion and requires as much care in first aid and after-treatment as one would give an open wound or a broken bone.
 There are three degrees of burns or scalds. The first and mildest is simple reckoning of isle burned skin, as in mild sunburn. The second degree is blistering of the skin. The severest degree is charring or cook ing, destruction of tissue
 Only third degree burns leave scars. Too often, however, ill-ad- vised treatment or well meaning interference with what should be a second degree burn converts it into a third degree burn and produces inevitable scar. Contrary to old wives lore, no magic medicament or remedy can prevent scar in a third degree burn.
 A good first aid relief for simple burns or scalds or sunburns is Calamine Lotion:
 Zinc oxide ........ One half ounce Calamine .......... One half ounce Glycerin ........... One half ounce Lime water ........... Four ounces Rose water ........!.. . Two ounces to 20 Phenol Solution .. One ounce 1 Standard 5 per cent carbolic
 acid solution legally sold with
 out prescription).
 Directions: Phenolated calamine lotion. To be shaken up we'll and applied by dabbing on inflamed, irritated or itching skin as often as desired.
 A sale or ointment for emergency relief of minor burns, scalds, sum- burn cuts, bites or what have you, is the following which call Old Doc Salve:
 Zinc oxide ............... 30 grains Borlc acid ................ 20 grains benzon .................. 10 grains Oil of rosemary ............ drops Ldnolm .................. dramS Petrolatum, enough to make ONE OUNCE.
 Old Doc Salve should be dispensed in collapSible tube, for preservation and cleanliness. It doesn't heal" anything, but relieves smarting or soreness and keeps you out of mis- chief while the wound, burn, bite or sore is healing.
