BEAUTY
NEA Service Stan Writer

There are the right clothes for every figure, of course. And you can find a dress or a suit which will minimize your own figure de- fleets. However, would 1t not be more fun to start out to find Easter clothes that will show of lovely lines instead of having to search and search for some that will cover up bad points? During the next two IEonths, wouldn't 1t be fun to elim- mate many of the bad points?
 For example, the new lowered waistlines, wide-girdled dresses that give the effect of being lowered, and short, snug little jackets won't be fiattering to one whose stomach protrudes even slightly. You must have clean, long look through the middle. Your chest must be carried

THE sCIATICA PATIENT

The sciatic nerve extends from the lower part of the spinal cord down back of the hip joint deep in the bullock and through the back of the thigh to the leg and foot. As those who have had sciatica will readily believe, 1t is the largest nerve in the body, being nearly as broad and half as thick as your thumb. It supplies sensation to the hip joint, motion to the large muscles of thigh and leg and sensation to the skin of thigh and leg.
 Sciatica is pain in this nerve, whether due to inflammation of the nerve (neuritis) or to some irrita- ton of the nerve as by pressure upon 1t or strain or functional fa- tigue (neuralgia).
 Of course there is no such cordi- ton as "sciatic rheumatism"-that is merely name to give the trouble when you don't know what is the matter.
 Strain, sprain' or weakness and re- taxation of the sacroiliac junction, slipped irnominate" as the osteo- paths called 1t before we regulars got onto 1t, gives rise to symptoms frequently mistaken for sciatica. This should be ruled out by special test in the preliminary examination.
 Sciatica neuritis is comparatively rare. It may occur from general toxemia from alcohol, lead, arsenic, or from diabetes or syphilis; some- times from pressure on the nerve by tumor within the pelvis. Treatment depends on the cause of the neuri- tis.
 Injection of normal salt solution or other medicines into the sciatic nerve trunk or into the space around 1t has given prolonged and grateful relief in many cases of sciatic neu- ritis.
 Sciatic neuralgia generally calls for REST as the paramount rem- edy. Not just sitting or lying about but rest in bed with the limb of the affected side in extension, either the familiar Bucks extension or better Hodgen's suspension, for @ period of a week, more or less.
 Then when the pain subsidies and muscle spasm relaxes and the dis tortion of posture or relations of leg and body or spine and pelyis and femur becomes normal, either well fitted corset or plaster cast or wide sacroiliac belt or girdle may be ap- piled for support. and the patient instructed in graduated exercises to restore the normal support which has been lost from insufficiency of the muscles.
 While the patient is having his leg pulled heat in one form or another, or diathermy, and medication may be combined with the correctional orthopedic treatment.
 This method of treatment has proved especially successful in cases where the trouble is of gradual on- set, the patient nervous" or per- haps branded "neurasthenic," under nervous strain," and subject to backaches and leg pains when tired or worn out. The Fundamental fac- tor in these cases is fatigue and muscular insuffciency.

 It centers about the 59th Squad ron of the Royal Flying Corps, a small group of daring aviators whose lifetime in the air is about four and half hours. Each dawn, some of these men go out on patrol duty and about half of them re- turn.
 With their nerves under this con- stant ordeal, their philosophy of life is Eat. drink and be merry, for to- morrow we die"
 The co-hit of the program will be a fast-moving comedy "Hard To Get" co-starring Dick Powell and Olivia de Haviland. Charles Wjn- ninger, Allen Jenkins. Bonita Gran vile and other funmakers are in cluded in the cast.
