GOOD LENGTH SHEETS

Remember. when buying sheets that the length given is the meas urement before the sheet is hem med and washed. So, if you like one that is long enough to tuck in well at the bottom and fold over the blanket generously at the top ask the salesperson how much shrinkage should be expected, meas ure the hems, then add that much to the actual length of sheet you want.

 e. What kind of rugs should buy for my living room?
 A. Oriental rugs, though expen- sive, are, of course, very desirable If these are beyond ones purse, it is better to have plain coverings on the floors. It is more economi- cal in the end to buy @ good quality seamless rug with a thick pile tha! will last for years. They shoulA be plain in color of the walls, ol the rug may have a border of a slightly darker tone. By all mes avoid cheap mutations of orienta, floor coverings or rugs that are covered with flampoyant figures There are, however, very good fig ured rugs in conservative designs that can be used, especially where there are children, or where the rugs are subjected to hard wear and plain rugs would show every foot print.

TESTIMONY ON SHORTAGE OI
 VITAMrN A

V84 ANkAkN "A Herr Doctor w. Stahel pleads a strong case for the apocryphalA- hypovitaminosis, nutritional distur- bance or disease due to insufficient vitamin A, in the Berlin Kllnische Wochenschrift, No. 26, 1888. Ger man medical writers have @ way of hashing up scientific facts with sheer fancy or theory in Q dish that is so very easy to eat but later gives you remorse. The earlier des- criptions of the value and effects and freedom from untoward or dangerous effects of new nostrunis emanating from Germany illustrate this trait. When @ German doctor cuts loose, even though you are a skeptic at the beginning, you had better look out. I think 1t only fair to mention this before we get any one in dither about the still enig- matic role of vitamin A in human metabolism.
 In women past the menopause a peculiar condition occurs along with some chronic arthritis, which has become known as Sjogren's sym drome. It Is characterized by great ,dryness of all the mucous mem- branes from deficient secretion of the glands, particularly the tear and the salivary glands, the mucous glands in the upper respiratory tract, the sweat glands and the glands of the stomach. Due to these glandular weaknesses the patient suffers from dry eyes and chronic irritation or soreness of the eyes, dry mouth, chronic dry "catarrh" of nose, throat or bron- chial tubes, difficulty in swallowing impaired sense of smell, impaired sense of taste, deficient sweating, lack of gastric juice to digest food, general weakness, loss of appetite, lowered tolerance for carbhohy- drate, muscular atrophy, sometimes fever and anemia.
 Right here or Doc Brady, who knows no more and no less than any one else about 1t, interposes the suggestion that lack of suffi- cient vitamin B complex in the daily intake is as likely to account for many of these conditions as is insufficient vitamin A. Take 1t ol leave it. It is just my notion. Anyway Herr Doctor Stahel be- lieves the vitamin A content of the average diet is insufficient in these cases, and he describes one instance in a woman aged GA years where the administration of l6,000 units o1 vitamin A as a supplement to the diet, daily for several months brought about remarkable improve ment. The inflammatory manifesto. tions in all the mucous membrane, subsided, the patient recovered nor. nal sense of taste and smell, swal. lowing became easier, sweating re. turned, the chronic conjuncetivitil and photophobia (abnorinal sensi. tiveness to bright lighD disappeared and the general condition was much improved.
 To the layman 16,000 units may sound like lit of something. Really it is not so much. Remember, there are several million Gas nearly as ] dare estimate, what with my terrible arthmetic) red corpuscles in a dror of blood.
 There are 3o,000 units of vitamir A in 3h ounces of dandelion greens; 1000 units in pint of fresh milk; 250 units in banana; 5000 units ir 3h ounces of turnip greens; 5000 units in a sweet potato; 10000 units in 3M ounces of spinach; 500 units in the yolk of an egg.
