Who Knows Best?

Uncle Sam maintains West Point
and Annapolis, at vast cost, to edu-
cate Army and Navy officers for
the emergency of national defense.
When emergency arrives it is the
American tradition to clothe these
trained men, under democratic
civilian control. with requisite re-
sponsibility. 1t is also in accord
with our tradition, above all, to
trust these men and their seasoned
judgment once they are vested with
the supreme obligation of protect
ing the United States from attack
or invasion, and the rights of our
citizens from violation. If we were
at war this week military and naval
responsibility, under direction of the
President as commander in chief,

ders, respectively, of Maj. Gen.

Crisis Almost Grave as War.
This mad world is still at peace.
But well-informed men everywhere,

has not hovered so perilously on the

Franklin D. Roosevelt of such ire

the scales, or crusts, are fatty. The
technical term for dry scalp is Sc
borrhoea, which means secretion of
sebum, or skin fat.
Two types of seborrhoea are dis
tinguished. In one there is great
production of fatty scales, and this
is called "oily seborrhoea." In the
other and more common type, the
real dry scalp, the scales are tiny,
branny flakes, and though they are
really also fatty, they have the feel
of being dry.
In dry seborrhoea the hair is lus-
treless and the scalp is of grayish
hue. The condition usually comes
on suddenly, and is apparently in
fectious, following a visit to the
barber or to a hairdressing estab-
lishment, and especially following
permanent waves. BARRIERS and
hairdressers try very hard to main
tain complete antiseptic precau-
tions, but the laws Of man and Ma
ture are continuously against them.
It is a wonder, indeed, that more
cross infections do not occur on
Saturday morning and afternoon
when dozen vain women or equally
vain men are clamoring for beauty
in order that they may desolate the
associated cafe society at the grill,
the casino, the Fair or the club that
night.
Then, again, this suddenness of
onset could argue for a chemical
cause, considering all the tonics, re-
storers, brilliantines, dyes, touch
ers-up, rinses and other esoteric
and hagiologic applications that are
frantically demanded by the aes-
thetic yearners for perfection.
No, all in all, the BARRIERS and
hairdressers have a good deal to
contend with.
Treatment of dry scalp is very
satisfactory. Oils and other rene
dies, are usually recommended.
Treatment should be continued in
definitely because seborrhoea is es-
sentially a chronic disorder.
In addition to the application of
drugs, the scalp should be given
such ordinary hygienic treatment
as washing once a week, and if
the oil and scales do not come away
with one vigorous shampoo, it
should be repeated every other day.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

w. w.: Concerning your article
on lead poisoning, what danger, if
any, is there attached to drinking
hot tea from an ordinary pewter
teapot, unlined?"
Answer: Pewter is an alloy of tin
with copper and bismuth; no lead in
it. But inferior sorts do contain lead.
I know of no specific instance of lead
poisoning resulting from drinking
tea from such pewter pot, but it
certainly is possible.
J. NJ: "I have a terrible thirst
and my tongue feels as if it were
stuck to the roof of my mouth"
Answer: Any excessive water loss
will cause thirst. Diabetes in either
form diabetes mellitus or diabetes
insipidus) will produce water loss.
M. R.: ISIS mineral oil good for
cleansing the skin?"
Answer: Mineral oil belongs to
the list of epidermic ointments,
which do not have much, if any,
power of penetrating the skin.
Therefore, it is a good cleansing
agent.
J A: "q) I am much too heavy
for my own good and energy. eat
in spurts. (2) I oversleep; have
two alarm clocks which never hear.
(3) My skin feels dry and itches."
Answer: I seldom venture dag
nosis by correspondence, but in this
case am going to suggest lack Of
thyroid, or myXoedena.
F. G.: "What can be done for
intercostal neuralgia? Can it be
cured, and how serious is it,"
Answer: The first thing that
should be done for intercostal neu-
ralgia is to make diagnosis. Often
it is a forerunner Of shingles; the
may be present for some
time before the eruption (the shin
gles) appears. One should be sure
also that the intercostal neuralgia
is not the neuralgia girdle of tabes.
Also from pleurisy. For pure inter-
costal neuralgia, rest should be i'm
posed by strapping the chest with
adhesive tape. Heat by infra-red
lamp, or ordinary electric pad, and
the use Of certain drugs are good
adjuncts. Removal Of the cause in
infected teeth, tonsils or other foci
is recommended in stubborn cases.
