WOMAN,S REALM-
Glorting Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Stan Writer

Masks that do their work in fifteen or twenty minutes are most popular with business women. One who arrives home tired and dusty and sticky from a difficult day at the ofiice appreciates the speed with which some of the better masks can be applied and removed and still be beneficial.
 There are, of course, three types from which to pick and choose the clay-like varieties that get hard and dry and which have to be re- moved with a wet towel and plenty of water; the creamy ones that aren't supposed to harden on the face; the simple, homemade ones that are mild bleaches as well as masks. Incidentally, in the first category, there's new, mint-scent- ed mask that is particularly cooling to the skin.
 No mask, regardless of its type, ever should be put on soiled skin. Clean face and throat thoroughly before smoothing on any preparation of this kind, then do lie down and close your eyes for at least ten minutes-twenty if possible. You don't have to go to sleep, but you should relax. And remember to keep the corners of your mouth turned up and your brow unwrinkled while do- ing it.
 If your skin is quite dry even in summer weather, apply night cream after removing the mask and leave 1t on five minutes. Otherwise, pat on skin tonic, preferably one which gives the skin a moist, dewy look.
 Among the most satisfactory homemade masks are: almond meal and sweet milk paste: tomato juice and cucumber. To prepare cucum- Der mask, simply peel a cucumber, putting the strips of rind in bowl of water. Let them stand in the bowl overnight. Next day clean face and throat, pat on the cucumber liquid, then lay on the strips of rind white sides down. Moisten clean cotton cloth in the liquid and spread it over the peelings to keep them from falling off. Rest for twenty minutes. After removing cloth and rinds, rinse face and through thor oughly with very cold water.

CONSERVATIVE TREATMENT
 OF SINUSITIS

V
 OF SINUSITIS
 In severe acute sinusitis where there are symptoms or signs (signs are symptoms elicited by the ex- of the physician) of sup puration, empyema, pus formation, abscesses, especially If there are associated general indications of septicemia or septic poisoning, prompt surgical relief is the most conservative treatment. But for ordinary acute sinusitis the simpler and milder the local treatment the better, as rule, except the careful application of medicinal agents by the physician with view to shrink ing he swollen mucous membrane about the opening from the sinus into the nasal passage, to restore natural drainage of the mucus pent up in the inf1amed sinus. When this is successful immediate and often lasting relief is obtained.
 Otherwise the best treatment for acute sinusitis is the same as the treatment for acute cri-hot bath, bed, plenty of hot Cor cool as you prefeD drinks-soup, milk, fruit juice beverage; or fast 12 to 24 hours if you remain in bed; the food proof cough medicine as de- scribed earlier; one grain of quinine for every fifty pounds of your body weight every four hours rather than any alleged "cold cure" of the coal tar derivative class; a few drops of VDI (vitamin D inhalanD in each nostril with head held back then lowered below the level of chin first on right then on left side for a few moments, every four hours; a dose of five or ten grains of acetylsalicy- lie acid (aspirin), repeated if neces- sary in two hours, if any killer is used at all, for aspirin is the least dangerous of the drugs popularly regarded as harmless" for quickly benumbing sense of pain, ache or other discomfort.

 Being a citizen of Denmark was a fine enough thing, until her husband demanded the European right to have the final say-so in all matters regarding the up- bringing of his son.
 Then the girl who was enjoying wearing a title, and looked for ward to freedom from turning over slice of her income each year to the American govern ment, suddenly went Amrican on her Count.
 She claimed the right to say how her son was to b brought up, with all the conviction of any American mother in her inherent right to such authcr;cy.
 And she didn't like the Counts talk of a duel with man he sup posed to be his rival. That, too, was little bit un-American.
 She probably rellsned his weep ing little more. It isn't the sort of behavior an American girl is brought up to expect of a husband.
 And it isn't hard to imagine that she will regard the Counts demand for a $5,000,000 pay-off the most disconcertingly un-Am- arico nocf,ra ho hoe YpoIo
 If the Countess wants to have the say-so in her child's upbring- ing, if she wants to have her mar riage follow the pattern she draws, and If she feels that wife should come out financial winner in divorce proceedings, she'd bet ter get back her American citizen ship and get herself an American husband.

(This is the fourth of series
 of six articles by Dr. Fishbein
 on infantile paralysis.)
 BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American
 Medical Association, and of
 Hygeia, the Health Magazine
 Many physicians believe that in the preparalytic stage of infantile paralysis injections of the blood of person who has recovered from the disease may be of value in pre- venting some of the paralysis. In certain communities stations have been set up where such convales- cent serum is available. However, other physicians are not yet con- vinced of the value of this method of treatment.
 Experiments are being conducted on a large scale in various portions of the United States, as well as in other parts of the world, which may determine just how much de- pendability may be placed on this method in protecting the child.
 In view of the difficulty of treaoting patients with infantile paralysis in this stage of the dis ease, and in view of the fact that the method has not been shown to be in the slightest harmful to either a normal or a sick child, many physicians and health departments encourage the use of the con- valescent serum in this stage of in- lection. After the paralysis has occurred, the injection of the con- valescent serum cannot be depend- ed on to do very much good.
 Obviously, these examinations and these methods of treatment de- mand the immediate attendance of a competent doctor. In the larger cities, children with infantile pa- ralysis are frequently taken direct ly to 8 hospital. In smaller com- munities the family doctor should be called at the earliest sign of fever, sore throat or infection, par ticularly during times of epidemic, SO that everything possible can be done at the earliest moment.
 AS soon as paralysis begins, the method of treatment depends on determining which muscles have been involved and the extent of the involvement. The child with infan- tile paralysis will, of course be put to bed. Rest aids recovery and pre- vents unnecessary irritation to the tissues.
 Nursing must be exceedingly gen. tie. All unnecessary movements of the patient should be avoided. Spe- cialists in orthopedic surgery are able to fix the limbs and tissues in a suitable position so that they will be helped toward recovery and so that they will be available for the best possible results in case paraly- sis occurs. From six to eight weeks may be necessary to permit the damaged nerve cells to recover as much as possible.
 Even the weight of bedclothes may provide harmful pressure on

 New York.-Society, the art world, and newspaper editors alike perked up their ears recently when the announcement came down from Gloucester, Mass, that 34 year old Natalie Hays Hammond is engaged to wed Captain Willis H. Waters, New York steamship executive.
 This engagement not only marks a new phase in the active life of one of Americas most interesting women. It represents an about-face. Only few years ago Miss Ham mond said: T never married be- cause never wanted to I've never met a man with enough am- bition, imagination and humor to make me change my mind.
 Sc0rned Easy Life
 As the daughter of the late John Hays Hammond, millionaire mining Natalie Hays Hammond could have lived the soft life of a thorough-going society girl. But as early as 1922, she became inter- ested in the arts, appearing that winter as the featured dancer at a brilliant Parisian charity ball.
 With . mind of her own, Miss Hammond leaped into print in 1924 when she prepared a signed article for newspapers giving her opinions of men and marriage. Among other things, she indicated that girls should seek "a he-man--a mental cave-man" for a husband. She ad- vised the marriageable girl to "size up the man, make her choice, then go ahead If she misses the first time, she can try again."
 Society had hardly recovered from that, when Natalie Hammond abar-

AN INDIVIDUALIST CHANGES HER MIND ABOUT MATRIMONY

Then the Royal Miniature society made her the youngest member ever to join and the French gov. ernment bought one of her minia. lures.
 In 1930, she had her first one man show of 75 pictures in the Roerich museum. The show aroused much interest in the art world. Miss Hammond was then painting IA hours a day in her swank studio but she wasn't satisfied. She wanted to do caricatures and to design things. Two years later, she held an exhibit of new kind of archi- lecture.
 Goes Surrealist
 Her interests shifted to the the ater in 1883, when she helped found the Stage Alliance to do ancient miracle plays. She de- signed the costumes and sets for these. Then she returned to painting and in 1884 exhibited series of symbolic character nations" of stage personalities Katherine Cornell was represented as . tall Corinthian column, draped in . length of bright orange fabric. Noel Coward, to Miss Hammond's way of thinking, was a purple Re- gency carriage piled high with band-boxes.
 She seems to have found her medium, during the last few years, in surrealist paintings. Her work. exhibited in the East, has aroused wide critical comment.
 That being the case, and Nata- lie Hammond being the kind of wSsnan she is, 1t Is . safe bet that she will 90 on painting and doing unusual things, marriage e no marriage.

Sunbonnets bloom on beaches and in town as well as in the garden. Solid color bonnets of a light woven straw fabric have rather high point ed crowns, wide brims worn scoop fashion or flared back from the face, fasten under the chin with contrasting cords and un-snap at the back to facilitate flat easy pack ing. They look particularly nice with dirndls, peasant dresses or play suits.

the weakened tissues. Simply prop. ping the patient up in bed may cause disturbance in the muscles of the back. A pillow placed under the patients knees may put the legs into position which may make walking most difficult and treatment more difficult after the acute stage of the disease has sub- sided.
 Unfortunately, many parents sub- init children in this stage of the disease to rubbing and manipula- tion by all sorts of healers who are unfamiliar with the true nature of infantile paralysis. No manipu- lation should be undertaken until all pain has passed. Then the pa- tient may be encouraged gradually to move the joints and muscles, but even then motion should not be permitted to the point of fatigue.

pain killer is a remedy or cure for any disease.
 Among the resources of the phy- sician who treats nose and throat diseases, ultraviolet irradiation ap- piled by special apparatus within the nasal cavity, as well as ultra short wave diathermy or radio- thermy treatment is efficacious in many cases of chronic sinusitis. X-ray treatment is of questionable value, though X-ray negative aid in the precise diagnosis of sinusitis.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Large Figures

Having taken for some time from six to a dozen capsules of a haliver oil preparation daily, stopped to compute the equivalent cod liver oil, and according to the label twelve capsules would be equivalent to 48 teaspoonfuls of cod liver oil . 102,000 units of vitamin A, 1.740 units of vitamin D. (G.H.BD
 Answer-After all the figures do not mean much. As for vitamin A, that doesn't matter in any case. I have taken from 10000 to 10000 units of vitamin D daily for many months that is equivalent to the vitamin D content of from 35 to 70 teaspoonfuls of cod liver oil a day. Only prefer economical vitamin D. You apparently prefer the expen- sive kind,

 Discussion raging in our family as to the merits of a faith healer and we woud like your opinion? tMrS. Ii. .. J.)
 Answer-Excuse me, please. Your own opini,n is better than mine would be. My belief is that every one should have the treatment or the kind of healer he prefers, SC long as the health or welfare of the community is not endangered.
 Vitamin B. Deficiency
 was struck by the similarity of the symptoms of moderate vitamin B deficiency as described in your article and my condition-I have been examined by various doctors and no cause found, certainly no tuberculosis. My symptoms are great weakness, heart palpitation, short breath on slight exertion, indiges- tion, anemia, rheumatic pain in legs, and above all fatigue. (Mrs. T.C.S)
 Answer-Eat four ounces of wheat germ daily and if your suspicion is correct you should begin to get bet- ter in a week and steadily improve until you are perfectly well again. All of the complaints you mention may well be due to prolonged de- ficiency of vitamin B.
 One of Pair
 Is 1t possible for a person to have a kidney removed and live for many years in apparent good health afterward? (C.H.)
 Answer-Yes, many persons have lived for long years in good health after removal of kidney. The loss of any organ or gland of which the individual has a pair is without ef- feet, so long as the remaining one is not damages by disease or injury.
 Wrong Logic
 You state that malaria is carried only by the bite of the anopheles mosquito. You must admit, to be consistent, that poisoning is as like ly to occur from inhaling the odor of decaying vegetable matter as it is from inhaling the fumes of car- bon monoxide. G. s. O.
 Answer-Sorry, but I can't admit that. There Is no evidence that in- haling the odor of decaying vege- table matter ever po.sons or in- jures any one.
