QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Spina Bifda

What is spina bifida? Is it the fault of either parent or of an an- cestor farther back? Is it ever com- pletely cured? Why must one wait five or ten years for something to develop, before attempting an opera tion? (Mrs. I. B.
 Answer-It is an arrested develop ment of the spine, comparable with clubfoot cleft palate or harelip, and like these other congenital condi- tions, not due to any fault in par ent or ancestor; just thing that may happen in any family. If the opening in the spine and the bulg- ing through the opening is not too large early operation may greatly improve the condition. If there is any paralysis operation is useless. Generally soft rubber or -ubber sponge pads are kept upon the bulg- ing place. Ey means of elastic band age or binder, for many months to see whether attempt at closure by or ration may be safely undertaken.

that very date, March 3, appeared the following item:
 TBC. Stands for Tubercle
 School doctor and health officer say T. B. is not contagious. (Mrs. J. L. H)
 Answer-T. B. stands for tubercle bacilli Tbc. stands for tubercle or tuberculosis. School doctor and health officer are or is right. Tu- berculosiS is not contagious. Send stamped envelope bearing your ad- dress for monograph on Tubercu- loSiS.
 In that monograph on Tubercu- losis I explain as clearly as I know how, the difference between contagion and infection thus:
 ''The fact that physicians and nurses attending patients in tuber- culosis hospitals do not contract the disease more frequently than people at large proves. that nurs- ing or living with one who has tuberculosis need not endanger any one No pity should be shown tuberculous individual who re- fuses to abide by these simple pre- cautions for the safety of those ] around him infancy and child hood is the time of infection; youth is the time when the infection lights up ~. Superinfection, that is, additional infection through per- sonal contact with careless or ig- norant victims .'
 I offer this evidence in extenua- ton. When answered the query of Mrs. U. L. H. I. sought to relieve abnormal fear of tuberculosis, as I believe the school doctor and health officer she mentions meant to do.
 Of course tuberculosis is infec- tious. But an intelligent, conscien- tious individual with tuberculosis is not menace to the health of any one who comes in casual contact. Infection generally requires fre- quent, constant or prolonged in- innate association with the tuber- culous person.

How delighted the Smith were asked to dine at MT. Employers! But their social hopes are scuttled by Mrs. Smiths manners.
 Here she is, holding tightly to her knife and fork as she passes her plate. In another moment she'll be piling salt for her celery on the tablecloth, chopping all her meat into bits before sht eats it.
 You'll never get by with dis eliminating people that way, Mrs. Smith. Next time lay your knife and fork neatly across your plate before you pass it. Pour salt for celery on the edge or plate. pre- ferably your butter plate. Cut meat as you eat it-a small piece at a time.
 Such niceties of Etiquette aren't difficult-are really based on con- mon sense. Do you hack vainly with fork at endive, romaine, hearts of lettuce? You may use a knife too in cutting them. But for tender leaves, aspics, fruit or veget- able salads use only a fork.

Glorityimg Yourself
By ALICIA HART

It's an accepted fact that lack of sunshine causes deficiency of Vita min D. And Vitamin D is an im- portant beauty vitamin-the one which puts a sparkle in your eye, cakes your complexion clear and glowing and the corners of your mouth turn up instead of down.
 In addition to sunshine, there are three other little items which will go a long way toward helping you enjoy the spring season. A new hat, an adequate amount of sleep and rest, and lighter diet.
 Get the be-flowered bonnet first. It will be something to live up to-, an encouragement to stick to your newly formed eating and sleeping regulations. And do get pretty one. You'll be surprised at what it will do for your morale.
 For one week, try going to bed at nine every single night and get ting up at seven. What? You say you couldn't possibly go to sleep at nine? Well, get up at six tomorrow morning and the chances are you'll be ready for sleep at nine tomorrow night. From then on, stick to your new schedule-up at seven, in bed by nine.
 Drink more fruit and vegetable juices. Eat big green salad at least once day.
 Substitute fruit desserts for the rich pastries you liked during the winters months. Go in for more green vegetables and fewer heavy sauces and gravies. Spring is the time to put away winter diets as well as winter clothes.
