.BEAUTX-. Glori6ing
 Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Stan Writer

NEA Service Stan Writer
 Hoping you won't but if you do catch cold this winter, there are things you can do to make life more bearable until you get rid of 1t.
 The best idea, as your doctor will agree, is to go to bed at the very sign of cold. If you do this, and stay there, the chances are that you won't be i'll for more than 8 few days. But if, like most of us, you just cannot take to your bed every time you notice cold coming on, you probably are interested in ways and means of looking a great deal better than you feel during the days when your throat is sore, head ach- ing and it's difficult to breathe through your nose.
 To conceal the fact that your nose is red as 8 beet and to keep 1t from being perpetually shiny, use a waterproof foundation lotion. There are several of these on the market. Or perhaps you'll find suit able the liquid powder that you put on arms, back and shoulders when you are in evening clothes.
 If you know that you'll have to use a handkerchief (incidentally cleansing tissues that can be thrown away are better than handkerchiefS. about every four minutes, don't use an oily lipstick and expect 1t to stay on your lips. Instead during the daytime, use the most indelible, non- greasy one you have. At night. cov- CT your lips with a colorless pomade before going to sleep.
 Don't use mascara or eyeshadow or or anything that will draw even more attention to your reddened, watery eyes. But don't omit rouge just because you don't feel like both- ering to put 1t on. There's no use in adding to your miseries by look ing so pale and wan that too many people offer too much sympathy

 Mary. She says she makes enough helping at the library to go halves when we're out. But I feel like 8 piker when she even mentions it.. It's mans place to pay the bill, I always think. Don't you2"
 "Yes," admitted Mrs. Gray, "I think it is mans place to do all he can to help g woman"
 Frank got his suit on "time." His mother thought at first she would advance the money and let some thing else wait. Then she smiled ruefully and changed her mind. Frank might forget to pay her back. He had a sort of blind spot about money, like his father. She would be in 8 hole with her own bills, so she let him buy the tux as he wanted.
 The Seventeen-year son, however, let the second week slide, and the third. He had to buy tickets for the prom, at two dollars apiece, and he explained that corsages cost like diamonds.
 Now that he had the right clothes to wear, he went more places. It meant cabs and all sorts of things.
 Mrs. Gray paid the installments and worried over the butcher bill which was mounting. She had been having 8 woman to iron, but gave her up. Well, it couldn't be helped that Frank needed more help than ever, more than before he began earning, because he was older and from now on his expenses would be higher.
 Too Indulgent
 She wanted him with the best of the school crowd, as much as he wanted it himself. You couldn't do 1t on nothing. But she had thought it would be 6 little easier. nowd, Frank was earning more. He went to the store every day after school and sometimes at night, help ed to put the stock in order. He needed little time for study because the study periods in school covered most of 1t. And Frank was smart.
 At the end of the year, Frank had not only spent all his earnings but his mother had paid several bills for him. He gave her nothing. Instead she was helping him out constantly. Where was the rest she had hoped

BEWARE THE OLD SPANISH IF YOU HAVE INFECTED TONSILs

@@@~ -~No
 Any competent, honest physician knows that as a rule more or less tonsil tissue remains In the throat after the standard tcnsilectOmy operation, no matter who removes the tonsils or what method he em- ploys. In the great majority of cases patients never have any fnr- ther trouble from the bits of tonsil remaining.
 If your doctor Is capable of thinking for himself or if he is cap- able of weighing the scientific and clinical or practical evidence which is on record where all physicians may examine it, he must at least question the wisdom of attempting to remove normal topsil tissue from the throat by any method.
 The weight of scientific and prac- tical evidence seems to establish the efficacy of the focal infection principle in practice. It is not only justifiable but essential that if there is septic focus in the toiisll the aera of infection be eradicated, drained, disinfected, pasteurized or otherwise destroyed or removel as the first step in the treatment of whatever systemic condition the in- lection may have caused.
 Probably every doctor has seen some happy results from radical onsillectomy in such cases of focal infection. But the disappointing re- suits and, in too many instances, the tragic results of this atrocious operation far overshadow the doubt- full benefits to be gained from it, when we consider that, if only he be 8 little better informed and a little more skilled, the doctor can obtain for his patient every possible advantage of tonsillectomy with virtually none of the grave risks of the major operation, by the use of diathermy, electro coagulation, for pasteurizing, disinfecting, draining or destroying septic or infected areas in the tonsil.
 Although it can scarcely be ex- pected as 8 routine occurrence 1t is the experience in not a few cases that the patient notices an aston- ishngly prompt relief in the sys- temic manifestations - ache, pain, stiffness, etc., within a day or two after the first or second electro coagulation sitting. Indeed this ex- traordinary result of pasteurizatior1 or perhaps actual disinfection of the septic area has been so marked and so complete in some instances that no further treatment has been nec- essary.
 In order to make this clearer to the casual reader let me say pas- teurize means to heat moderately up to 145 degrees r for 20 to 30 minutes, in deference to milk. It kills some disease germs, but not all. Disinfect means to free from infection by destroying dis ease germs. The pinhead area of tonsil tissue between the poles of the diathermy applicator may be destroyed by electro coagulation, but the surrounding tonsil tissue is merely pasteurized, not destroyed. No doubt this pasteurizing ac- ton, in the happy instances men, tioned, happens to include the main area of infection.
 I repeat, this is by no means the uniform experience in tonsil in cases of focal infec- tion. But it is impressive when it happens.

WOMAN,S REALM
WIZ TIE WoMEN----- Shocked At Prosecutions? Then Be Sure You Do Not
 Plant Seeds of Bigotry

Because there is no deep feeling behind the things we say, we think they don't mat ter. But every time we make a snooty generality, we deep en the prejudice in ourselves, and run the risk of encOurag- ing 1t in others.

 The finest contribution we ordinary women can make to keep our country a place where people live and let live is to set an example of toler. ance by never speaking an other slurring remark, aimed at a racial or religious group.
 Our snug generalities weren't dangerous once = merely unkind and evidence of a narrow mind. But today there is the chance just such little remarks may prepare another country for persecu- ton.

heaven we live in a dernocra- cy. Such things can't happen hete."
 And then we turn back to our own lives without having learned a valuable lesson. We are no more tolerant than we were before the world needed tolerance so badly. We brag that we are tolerant. But we go about making careless re- marks we haven't thought out. Striking out at individ- uals through their race or their religion. Conforming a whole people with a snug criticism.
 We do that, never realizing that we are planting seeds of bitterness and hatred. Never stopping to think that we are talking ourselves into intolerance, awakening it in others, and taking the edge off our fine democracy.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Dead Fingers

All last summer my middle finger has become swollen, painful and stiff and it turns perfectly white in cold water or on cool mornings even in warm weather, stays like that for several minutes, and then aches and feels dead when the blood comes back. (Mrs. M. O.
 Answer-"Dead fingers" (Ray- naud's disease) sometimes due to chronic arsenic poisoning. Thera- peutic test of this take thirty grains of sodium thiosulphate (for- merly called hypsoulphite) daily for two weeks. This promotes excretion of arsenic, if excess of arsenic re- tained in the tissues. Such courses of sodium thiosulphate repeated with intervals of two or three weeks, several times through the year, have apparently cured this and other manifestations of chronic arsenic poisoning.

 But she knew, did Mrs. Gray, that Frank would never be quite inde- pendent. He would continue to use his parents until he was married And afterward, too, most likely. Her mistake lay in not insisting that he save, and keep out of debt. Copyright, 1888, NEA Service, Inc.)

The first check for 500 came
yesterday from Mrs. Franklin D.

The luncheon, attended by
some 500 Chest committee chair
men, was held to acquaint them
with the activities of the 81 Chest
agencies, and to build the fire
of enthusiasm" for the forthcom-

Richard C. Patterson, Assistant

support social measures unless
there is voluntary contribution
through the Chest.
