 O. How can I dissuade dogs and cats from visiting my shrubbery plantation?
 Al. They can be dissuaded by spraying solution of nicotine sul-- nhate. one ounce to one gallon of water. Besides being effectual in repelling their visits for some time, the solution is a contact insecticide. Red or black pepper, 5prinkled around is also said to be good. Dead leaves and branches, killed by dog urine, should be trimmed oil. There are several commercial prepara- tions to repel dogs.

 Here is VOLT two-year old. She tries almost anything once. She has no real sense of values yet, ana cannot tell exactly when she IS doing right or wrong.
 IT'S AN AGE
 OF CURIOSITY
 Anything that can be torn, pulled, pounded or smashed is grlst to ner mill. Her mind is compelling force. whispering in her little ears, Try this and see if it goes to nieces," "Try that. and see what a swell sound it makes" "Hlt the wall hard with hammer ana see if it will make hole or Just a loud bang" Keep on until you see what it all means. .
 It is an age of curiosity, imag- ination and the gaining Of muscular and finger control. Yes, it is very hard not to punish her, and do not say you should not punish a little. She must learn at least the most important taboos. But should make her surroundings simple, put many of the temptations out o1 reach. She must have a variety of things to do and to satisfy her longing for effects. Little noise makers, things to put together that are simple.
 Keep her on regular hours. This is more than a physical objective. The first lessons in discipline are learned through regular routlne and knowing that one must con- form to it cheerfully.
 Yours sincerely,

.BEAUTY-
.BEAUgX
 GLOri1ing
 Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer

Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes usually are telltales of one of two things-eye strain or age. The womsn who is determined to remain youthfully attractive through the years does all she can to eliminate each line as it appears, just as she tries to lose an extra pound as soon as she realizes she has gained it.
 She believes thoroughly that it is much easier to prevent beauty defects than to correct them.
 No smart girl refuses to wear glasses once she has been told that she needs them. She may not like glasses, but she likes a great deal less the lines caused by eye-strain. Glasses or not, she doesn't read in poor light CT sit in the sun minus suntan goggles. In other words, she pampers her eyes. And the pam pering pays big dividends.
 From the time she is twenty-five, she remembers to wear cream or oil on lids and around eyes at least three nights week. She messages it in with light, circular motions, leaves the excess on while she sleeps. Now and then, she omits cream, covers the lined area at cor ners with bits of tape, designed especially for the purpose. By morn- ing the tape has fattened out the tiny furrows.
 BEAUTY ROUTINE
 IS WHAT COUNTS
 Without adopting vacant stare or anything like it, she does man. age to affect fairly calm, serene expression when she is working at her desk, reading or sewing. She saves her animated expressions for conversations and times when she isn't alone. She knows that so- called. solitary face-makers (the nose twitchers, eye squinters and throat stretchers) are likely to etch lines into their faces without even realizing it.
 She uses eyebrow tweezers in a restrained manner, removing only struggling hairs which grow on lids or between brows. She always brushes lashes as well as brows af- ter poWdering. She seldom wears eyeshadoW during day time hours As she grows older, she applies all eye makeup more sparingly.

A QUESTION OF IMMUNITY


 A medical colleague writes:
 T think you have packed a most valuable and sensible dissertation on health in that little pamphlet (The Seven Keys to Vite) and I'm quite certain that it touches upon many a point that most physicians know little or nothing about"
 The medical colleague goes on to say that "if it were not for your column I'd still be babbling about resistance nerve energy and nervous exhaustion as believe most of the profession does"
 Here is a bit of babbling by @ health column colleague who keeps his stocks high with the old timers by stoutly supporting the quaint notion of taking cold from drafts, wet feet, change of. temperature chilling and the like. Urging people who go out for a swim to keep out of the water as much as possible this refractory instructor says one investigator reported that remain ing in ocean water AS minutes re- duced the body temperature as much as four degrees below normal This, opines the health column writer, certainly must reduce bodily resistance to infection of all

chance to turn down Bali - it might be well to add that there are other places where a girl might find competition disillusion- ing.
 A girl wit twoo few curves - or too many would stand com parison with other women much better if she chose a city honey moon-rather than one at a beach.
 A girl with too few curves - her best in frills might find her husband casting admiring glances at a girl who looks beautiful on a horse-should she naively say she would like to go to a dude ranch on her honeymoon because she had always wanted to learn to ride.
 A rather timid, shy girl certainly would face stiff competition at d "chummy" resort-where everybody calls everybody by his first name

Friends Gather Round As You Tell Fortunes

Here are Horoscopes TOT All
 People love to be amused! And you will never lack company If you amuse friends with clever for- tunes, fascinating horoscopes.
 Easy, too, when you have horo- scopes already worked out for you. You have only to ask Bill or Tom his birth date and you're all set. :.
 If the date is between May 21 and June 20 his sign is Gemini, the Twins. He has dual nature-is strong in great things but petty in small-gifted but doesn't concen- trate-charming but variable. His colors are blue and gray, his jewels comedian and jade, his lucky num- bers four and six.
 Or if he's born between August 21 and September 20 his sign is Virgo. He has a fine mind, is re- served but affectionate. With hard work, he'll succeed. His lucky num- Der? Five.
 Telling fortunes with cards or tea leaves is grand fun, too. The luckiest card is the ten of hearts, meaning love, marriage, prosperity. Tea leaves grouped like bouquet promise happiness, good luck, wealth.
 Tn our 32-page booklet you will find the meaning of every card in the deck, tea leaf symbols, horo- scopes. Tells how to read fortunes in dominoes, dice, and open fire. Has tips on crystal gazing" fortune games for parties.
 Send 10c in coin for your copy of FUN WITH FORTUNE-TEL- LING to the Waterbury Democrat Home Service, 635 Sixth Ave-, New York, N. Y. Be sure to write plainly your NAME, ADDRESS, and the NAME of booklet.

LINOLEUM FLOOR COVERINGS

Linoleum should always be laid over smooth, even surface to wear longest. Uneven flooring, loose floor boards, projecting nails, cause it to show quick wear over these spots. In cold weather, linoleum should be allowed to remain in the room at least day and night before be- ing laid. Cold linoleum may crack when even slightly kent. Felt base floor coverings wear longer if war; nished when new and revarnished whenever the present coat shows wear. Inlaid linoleums should be waxed frequently. Waxing makes them easier to keep clean and, of course, protects the surface as well.

Cellulose

What use and value is cellulose in the body? What is the best way to get enough in the system? (E.M)
 Answer-It is the woody fiber of various coarse vegetables and fruits Not digestible. Fair amount of 1t promotes good digestion and pro- vides desirable bulk in residue. If your diet includes at least two fresh vegetables, one fruit, and greens or salads daily you will get enough cellulose.
 Potassium Chloride for Hay Fever
 I have found more relief from the suggestion I found in your col umn (potassium chloride) than l ever got from any other hay fever remedy or treatment. It has made my summer enjoyable, for the first time in many years. (H.F.C)
 Answer-Anyway it can do no harm in any case. Take five grains of potassium chloride dissolved in glass of water, three times day for several days. If it gives any re- lief, the effect should be felt with in twenty-four hours. Useless to continue it more than a week. But if relief is obtained, it is harmless to repeat the course of a few days every two weeks, or even to take it every day over many weeks. This has brought great relief in cases of allergic eczema, nasal polyposis and chronic sinusitis, as well as in hay fever.

kinds-summer colors, for instance" and adds that the warning against lounging around in wet bathing suit is especially important.
 No one has proved or even educed convincing evidence in SUD- port of the assumption that chill ing of the body has any definite effect on immunity or susceptibility to any known infection. If Medi- cine is not Quackery under cloak of scientific hokum, the mouth pieces of this childish notion should pine down and clear the way for advance. By confusing their quaint fancies with scientific knowledge the battlers are retarding progress and making boastful medical sci- ence" ridiculous.
 All we know about resistance" is that an individual has no im- munity, a little immunity or enough to proect him against infection under ordinary ci, cumstances. We have no scientific warrant for the fancy that chilling, fatigue or any such incidental factor can rob the individual of an yspecific immunity he may have against the disease in question.
 If I enjoyed 45 minutes of ocean bathing or swimming or liked to sit around in my wet suit after coming out of the water, I'd do so and worry not at all over a hypo- thetical reduction of four degrees in my body temperature.
 In the same article my illustri- ous health column colleague, hav- ing shooed everybody out of the water and in under blankets or away from the vagrant deadly breeze, went at 'em while they were shivering under that onslaught with the stern warning that ex- posture to the sun is not always healthful either.
 Oh, well, probably there are a lot of old fogies who will not care much about swimming anyway.
