OF THE EYE conditions which

dangerous. It is not as common as

nlze either for the doctor or pa

, where perlpheral vision is centered.
So that the first symptoms may be
gradual diminution Of vision on the
outside rim of the visual field. The
center of vision may be quite clear
but the edges dim. Other visual
changes are the occurrence OF
rings of color, rainbow-like around
objects. particularly bright objects
lights and mirrors
These patients are often unfortu-
nately told that they have begin
ming cataract, and are advised by
some neighbor to sit down until 1t

when they should be under the
treatment Of an oculist.
The purpose Of the recitation Of

QUESTIONS FROM READERS
H. H.: Some time ago saw a
notice that some factories were
giving their employees pellets COM
posed of salt and dextrose to pre-
vent heat prostration. Could you
please give me an address where l
could get these pellets 2"
Answer: Salt and water are
given to prevent heat prostration
on the theory that heat causes a
loss Of these substances through
the perspiration. It is not neces-
sary to give an address for any
special formula. Just plain table
salt is all that is used. The amount
taken Is proportional to the
amount Of sweating. -

consider a policy of allowing business
concerns to deduct any increase In
their advertising and selling expenses
from their tax bills during periods
when industrial production is running
below Normal? Depressions are ser
ious only when retail selling stops.
Most of our basic economic troubles
today are not connected with produc-
ton, but rather with distribution and
taxation. Speeding up the flow of
goods is where we must put the en-
phasis rather than on speeding up the
assembly, line. Space advertising can
play a tremendous part in this pro-
gram.
Advertising is to mass distribution
what the machine is to mass produc-
ton. Right now, for instance, it de-
serves a good share of credit for the
comparatively excellent volume of re-
tail trade. "Sales" cannot move goods
unless customers know about them. l
think that merchants and manufacture
ers now realize this more than they
did in 1929. Not only should pur-
chasing power be inflated, but the will
to buy should be encouraged. Adver-
Using is the last item to cut in your
sales budget unless you want to close
up shop.
Cutting prices is just as essential
as maintaining or stepping up your
advertising quotas. Despite its early
1888 slap-in-the-face, purchasing pow
er is still satisfactory although I ex-
pect that the year 1888 will average
under 1897. Farm income may bel
down, factory payrolls may be lower,
and there may be a sharp break in
dividend payments. However, the drop
in income on the average need not
mean substantially less goods for ev-
eryone this year. Why? Because
merchandise "sales" and cheaper food
bills can go a long way toward off
setting the drop in the average fam
ily's income. If you give careful at
tention to your personal and house
hold buying this year, think you will
come very close to matching your 1887
living standard.
1 have three specific suggestions
along this line for the months ahead.
First, shop carefully for your food.
Always stock up on "sale" days on
your staples. Watch the clothing,
shoe, and other merchandise sales, al
though look carefully before you leap.
Second, pay cash for your goods. Con-
servatively, instalment buying costs
you 10 to 35 per cent more than cash.
Third, make a'simple budget and stick
to it! Remember, GA dollar saved is
a dollar earned" There is no easier
way to increase your income 10 per
cent than by carefully buying all
goods from tomato soup to oriental
rugs! Follow these purchasing rules
and 1888 will not be too bad year!

TO-DAY TEST" THRILLS BRIDES
Correct Method Makes DishWashing Easy

The craze for "tests" extends even to
.dishwashing. A number of young
housewives have recently been max
ing a "10-day test using Lux for
dishes instead of their regular meth
cd. They are tremendously enthusi-
astic. At the end of ten days, they
declared their hands didn't show a
sign of "dishpan" drudgery. They
found that the dishes were finished
much sooner.
Washing dishes needn't be a messy,
disagreeable job. wash as you go"
rs the most satisfactory rule for pots
and pans. If you can't wash them
Immediately, put them to soak.
Make rich suds by shaking the
fakes in first, then filling your pan
haIf-full of hot water. With fast-dis-
solving soap flakes like Lux, no time
is wasted in working up suds. By
using flakes instead of cake soap, ex-
perts find that 1870 of the sudsing
time is saved.
Plunge glasses into the foamy suds

horizontally, so as not to crack them.
Next wash the silver, then the cups
and saucers, then the large pieces of
china. Put only a few dishes in the
pan at time.
Stack dishes in drainer and pour
hot water on them. Polish glasses and
silver with a towel. China may be
left to air-dry in the drainer. Lux
suds rinse off readily and completely
don't leave soap streaks.
Dishwashing is fun when you have
thick, frothy suds-a and don't end up
with dishpan hands, The Lux way
is as gentle on your skin as your pet
beauty soap. And e cost is less
than one cent d4y!
