 QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
 Get Your Iodin
 I have called on many of the lead- ing druggists and none can furnish tablets containing one grain of sodium iodid-they have only g. grain tablets. Couldn't use one grain tablets of potassium iodid in- stead? can get that readily. JP.G)
 Answer-YeS. But why not use plain fashioned brown tincture iCdin tor spell it iodine if you have lots of time on your hal;ds)? It is simple enough to take 8 drop or two of ordinary i0din in a half glassful of water two or three times week or just once a week. as suitable ration of iodin.
 Carbon MOnOxide
 Your man who was overcome by auto exhaust must have inhaled carbon dioXide which caused his collapse, and also carbon monoXide which poisoned him. This is bad combination. (M. W)
 Answer-A large accumulation of carbon diCxide may cause a person to collapse as in the case of a man going down into silo. But no such accumulation; is likely to occur in a closed garage. A very small amount of carbon mon0xidc in the air a man breathes is sufficient to cause collapse. This subject is dealt with in the booklet How to Breathe" which also gives instructions for re- suscitating victims Of mOnOxide, electric shock, asphyxia or drowning. For copy send ten cents coil; and a stamped envelope bearing your ad- dress. Not clipping of this item please. Clippings are likely to be lost and cause delay. If you can't write the name of the booklet or monogram you want, some kind per- son will write it for you.
 Horrible Nightmare
 Your Personal Health Service has been a great help in the raising of our family. I have kept scrapbook for years and refer to it often, to the benefit of us all. We wish you many years. (Mrs. M.H.HO
 Answer-Stop. You make me shudder. Sometimes have night mare in which am compelled to look at thousand such scrapbooks and make appropriate sounds of qualification or something. When I think how mad it makes me to re- ceive one little clipping from my own oolumn-in lieu of a line of writing from some one who can't write or spell very we'll can ima- zine what terrible fate that would be.

FC0t Work at Odd House

FGot Work at Odd House
 It may be intimated that the con- ductor of this column is a bit radical, but I'd have you know I was among the very last automo- bile drivers who accepted the auto matic windshield wiper when that new fangled improvement was in- troduced.
 Now I find there are a lot of conservative people who look upon the notions proposed here for Odd House from the same attitude I too toward the automatic wind shield wiper. held out a good two years. I hope Odd House will have better going. hope, too, that we didn't frighten the stald old timers off altogether by setting up that swing divan in the Twin groom so mother could swing while watch ing the neighbors go by. and do hope neither mother nor her scan- dalized daughter will concoct any more schemes for a while-not un- til we have the roof on, at any rate.
 On yes, of course Odd House must have roof of some sort, may wander around like loon without a hat, but I still like to have roof over my head some how, tile thatch, slate, shingle, tar, or whatever combination various members of the househld may pre- fer, only the less roof, consistent with protection from rain, snow or excessive sunlight the better.
 T could never sec" writes one reader who will be a welcome guest at Odd House, why hotel bedrooms, restaurant WaShroomS, railroad and bus station restrooms and similar public places have plumbing installations which re- quire contact of the hand, when faucets, buttons, etc., can as well be worked by the foot. Altho such places may be kept as clean as possible in the circumstances, there is always a hazard involved in handling or touching handle, knob button, plunger or other object that has just been handled by some one else with who knows what com municable disease"
 The reason why old-time hand manipulated equipment is still the fashion in places where the roller towel no longer flourishes is, of course, sentiment.
 Only foot-pedals will be used for water faucets, toilet flushes and the like in Odd House, not so much for the hygienic effect as for ex- ample and to familiarize outlanders with the working of modern plumb ing Ailments.
 From New Haven, Connecticut, comes report by one of our read CTS that foot-pedal plumbing in- stallations have been in use for some time in the rest room of a large cafeteria there. This will bring a sigh to many an automo- bile tourist who has to patronize restaurants wherever his itinerary

 May Start Fibbing
 When the little child suddenly steps through his looking glass in- to the world of realism, and pinches himself to see if he is really himself, he doesn't feel in the least bound to let on about all he knows. He is very fond of keeping things hidden, literally and figuratively. He may hide his mitten or his toy for no req son at all, and hug himself ecsta- tically, because no one knows it, not even mummy.
 He may even go and tell her that Tommy took it. Or that it went of all by itself and got lost. He will go and dig it up after a while, or maybe forget it alto- gether. He may tell the truth, or again he may not. He doesn't re- member things very long.
 His tendency to secrets may be passing phase, so temporary that you won't notice. But if he happens to be smacked for not

Glorfyimg Yourself

 No woman can derive any real benefit from beauty preparation which she applies infrequently or indifferently. It's a waste of money to buy several items, then ignore the directions on the jars or bot ties or use each only and now and then. Furthermore, it's important that she knows what each is sup posed to do, what it can and can not be substituted for.
 For instance, dry-skinned read CT confessed rather recently that she has been using her liquifying cleansing cream as a night cream as well as cleanser. Her complexion had been getting drier instead of smoother and softer during the Win- ter months and she wondered what to do about it. Now she's using 8 regular night cream that contains lanolin which is easily absorbed by the skin, and reports that, within so short a time, she can see dif- ference. Her liquifying cleanser. has a mineral oil instead Of lanolin base. And while mineral oil creams are perfect cleaners, they shouldn't be substituted for night creams with lanolin bases. The skin doesn't ab- sorb mineral oil in a satisfactory manner.
 On the subject of rouge, there's sound reasoning behind the advice cosmetic experts give the dry skinned individual. They say that cream rouge is more fiattering to dry complexions-also that it will stay on longer than powder or cake varieties. They are right. And, the reverse being true, those with oily skin probably will find dry and cake rouges more to their liking.
 If the directions on your new jar of mask tell you to leave the mask on for only twenty minutes, then take look at clock while you are putting it on, and begin to remove it in just 20 minutes.
 If you hate having cream on your face while you sleep, don't buy night cream which is supposed to be left on the skin all night. Spend some time and thought find- ing what will suit your own pur- poses, then use it exactly according to the rules on the label.

LET MUTUAL SYMPATHY
 BE A MARITAL EGO-SAVER

And it is a hard-shelled husband who knows his wife is uncomfortable with certain group, and yet insists that she pretend to be one of them.
 When there is real sympathy be- tween two people, they learn in time to look out for each others ego A sympathetic husband-if he sees that his wife is having a dull time draws her neatly into the con- versational inner circle.
 He can do it in any number of ways. By directing question to- ward her, by managing the talk so that it gets around to something that interests her, by saying, Alice you were reading an article on that just yesterday"
 If there is just no help for her plight, he doesn't make her repeat the evening.
 Wives are usually much better about this art than their husbands, we are sorry IO say. EVeH CIle IlOSt obtuse woman says occasionally, John, what was that story about the pilot who crashed last week?
 Yes, as a rule women are kinder to mems egos than the other way around. They may even go as far as the wife in the comedy "Once Is Enough" now playing in New York. Ina Claire as the wife finally says to her husband:
 q. have never once embar- rassed you by asking a clever per- son into the house"
 That's the height of ego-saving. (Copvright. 1888, NEA Service, Incl

FOUR-YEAR-OLDS DEVELOP SECRETIVENESS
About Life to Selves
Olive Roberts Barton

, speaking right out in meeting, or diverting the truth into a fairy tale, he may think something like this: T don't like to have people knowing all about the things I do. But when they begin to get upset, and talk about it and tell Grandma and Mrs. Brown and everybody, then I'm not going ever, ever again to tell anybody anything"
 He isn't planner-much but all this comes to the fore the next time he decides to bury his ball, or just hide his own small torso behind the garage
 He hears when you call, but he stays where he is. and later wan ders complacently out into full view of the kitchen windows, when the queer little urge has passed.
 Innocent Mischief
 He shouldn't worry you this way, mother. and give you the scare of your life, but maybe the stage of disappearing won't last long. And maybe he will only do it once, if at all. You might sing out, "Oh, there you are honey. Why didn't you tell me? Now it's my turn to hide and you hunt me- A little game has erased the adventure.
 There is limit, naturally. The little child can't be trusted very much to look out for himself. And besides, he can develop the habit of secrecy in general to an annoying degree. We must try to lead him as best we may, and en- courage him to be frank, open and truthful. But don't be tempt ed to call him bad when he has only a natural motive, and a very usual one, behind his actions.
