Charles Dickens created the fa-
nous Mr.. Micawber in David Cop
perfeld and put into his mouth
these wise words:
annual Income, twenty
pounds. Annual Expenditures,
nineteen pounds. Result, Hap
mess.
annual Income, twenty
pounds. Annual Expenditures,
twenty pounds, 6 shillings. Re-
suit, Misery"
just. as this was true in Dickens
day, it is true today. But I hear
so many say, II just can't budget
my money"
Well, let us be fair with ourselves
for minute. For this coming
month of February we know GER
tain part of the income must be
spent for food, shelter and clothing,
These we mark as necessities, and
with the other items as car upkeep,
health, education, insurance and
savings.
We have the main items or which
family will spend their money.
Does this sound too complicated?
I would suggest if you are interest
ed that you write to Household FL
nance Corporation, Palmolive
Bldg, Chicago. They will be glad
to send you sample budget and lit
erature about money management
for households.

Treating Frost-Bite
With Snow Urged
Dr. Clendenine Describes Proper treatment and Warns
Against Heat Applications as Remedy
By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. d.

By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.
THERE IS an old rule that frost
bite should first be treated by the
application Of snow or ice instead
Of heat.
And there is good reason for this.
1t is sound practice.
A part of the body may be frozen
for brief time without especial in
Jury. The temporary freezing of
skin surface is followed first by
great swelling of the blood vessels.
Then there is construction of the YES
sells with tingling, loss Of function,
numbness and nothing or pallor.
If the freezing is intense or pro-
longed, blood clots will form in the
frozen part.
When heat is applied, the part
becomes red and swollen, serum es-
capes into the tissue spaces, and
thls causes pressure on the blood
vessels so that circulation is stopped
70 that region and gangrene is like
" ITO result.
Proper Treatment
This serious consequence may &C.
cur from either prolonged freezing
Or from too rapid thawing.
The proper treatment of frost
bite is to rub the part MILDLY first
and try to reestablish circulation
gFadually. Then rub with snow, ice
" iced water, leaving the applica-
ION of heat to the last.
DO not go into a warm room if you
are frost-bitten until the circulation
has been established and you feel
that you are warm anyhow. The
reasons for this are explained be-
low under the discussion. of consti-
tutionai effects Of frost bite.
After the circulation is estab-
llshed, the tingling and discomfort
may be assuaged by the application
Of glycerin or glycerin in combina-
ton with boric acid or tincture Of
Iodine. Another remedy is equal
parts of phenol and sweet spirits of
nitrous ether. The area is painted
Henderson daily dispatch., 1938-12-31

The secondary redness from a
frost-bite usually disappears within
a few days, but it may be permanent
or recur as local spot of pallor
when the part is again chilled.
The constitutional effects of ex-
IRENE cold are, first, stimulation,
followed by depression, pain, numb
ness and extreme drowsiness.
When Napoleon's soldiers were
retreating from Moscow, they would
rush to any campfire they saw and
begin to thaw themselves out. This
resulted in many deaths due to small
hemorrhages everywhere in the
body. That is why I warned above
that you should not bring a chilled
person suddenly into a warm room.
Recovery has followed proper
treatment even when the bodily
temperature has fallen as low as 70
degrees (normal 98) and after a
person has been buried in snow for
five days.

Parts Affected

The parts most likely to have
frost-bite are the nose, cheeks and
fingers because the circulation in
these extremities is not vigorous.
The same is true of the toes, but
they are more likely to be protected
from direct exposure to the cold.

Touring

Straw Hat Belt

Year by year the summer
theaters-"straw hats" in the
language of backstage-have
become more important in
the scheme of things the

and playwrights find summer
theaters an ideal proving
ground for new plays. Stage
stars 60 to the cow-barn play

ing with a turn at a favorite
play. Young newcomers try
their 1edgling wings. Holly

and to face real audiences.
The theater does not sleep IN
August.
Now Jay Carmody, The
Stars drama editor, is tour

PARIS, Aug. 22.-Two OF Premier
Edouard Daladier's cabinet ministers
resigned suddenly today, bringing on
a crisis over the premier's plan to
abolish the 40-hour week in French
industry.
Ludovic Frossard, minister of pub
lie work, and Paul Ramadier, min
lister of labor, gave up their posts in
surprise move.
The Premier met the threat to his
ministry's life by patching up his
cabinet within two hours, naming
Deputy Anatole de Monzie. his close
friend, minister of public works and
Deputy Charles Pomaret minister of
labor.
Party Balance Maintained.
Both new ministers belong to the
same party as those who resigned,
the small Socialist Union group, more
conservative than but closely allied
with the larger Socialist party, chiefly
responsible for enactment of the 40
hour law in 1886.
Although the Premier must face
a determined assault from the ex-
treme Leftist parties when Parlia-
ment reconvenes in November. his
quick success in replacing Mr.. Fros-
sard and Mr.. Ramadier seemed to
fall.
Presence in the cabinet of Mr.. De
Monzie and Mr.. Pomaret. whose names
Mr.. Daladier submitted to President
Albert Lebrun-a move equivalent to
conf1rmation-assured the Premier of
the same delicate balance of parties
which has held his ministry firm
since it was formed.
First Rift Since April 10.
The designations marked the first
open rift in the national defense"
cabinet since it took power April 10.
They came so Suddenly that they
found President Lebrun hundreds OF
miles away on his vacation in the
country,
There was no official explanation of
the designations, but M. Ramadier's
friends said he had reproached M
Daladier because the Premier had not
informed him in advance of his speech
last night announcing his intention Of
scrapping the 40-hour week.
In his speech M. Daladier pointed
out the dangers to France in the pres

that hours Of labor. especially in the
