BLOOD TESTS
VERY HELPFUL
EDUCATIONAL AIGN
CONDUCTED ON VEN
EREAL DISEASES

The all-time peak in the num-
Der of Kahn tests (blood tests) be-
ing made by Florida State Board
of Health laboratories is believed
to be direct result of the educa-
tional campaign now in progress
in Florida and the nation-at-large
in connection with Venereal dis
eases and the Third Annual So
cial Hygiene Day being held to-
day.
This is the opinion DR.. w. A.
McPhaul, state health officer, ex-
pressed at the State Board of
Health headquarters in Jackson
vile this week when he was in
formed that the laboratories have
been running approximately 200
more Kahn test every day than
has ever before been handled
over a sustained period of time.
Doctors Help Asked
The demand upon the state
laboratories is SO great, indeed,
that doctors and puplic health Of
ficlals in every section of Florida
have just been asked to distri-
butte the taking and sending of
blood specimens over the entire
week instead of concentrating
upon Thursday and Friday TAX
ings that necessarily tax facilities
and personnel of the labora-
tories.
DR.. McPhaul says the service
could be greatly improved and
much delay in handling eliminat-
ed if he could engage day and
night shifts of workers but he
points out that this is impossible
under the present state health
budget, which is the same as it
has been ever since 1888, despite
the vast increase in demands
made upon it's services.
The need for continued vigil
ance in fighting syphilis is based
upon various reports by the
American Social Hygiene Asso-
citation and the Florida State
Board of Health.

the Home Decorator, and the di-
rections for slipcovers are SO clear
in the sketches that I have de-
cided to cover my living room fur
niture which consists of a daven-
port, a club chair and wing
chair. / would like to have your
suggestions for colors for these
and for curtains"
With this letter there was de-
tailed description of the rug in the
room. There have been a good
many letters of this type lately, SO
I am showing you here how to
analyze the colors in a figured
rug and use them as a guide in
planning room.
It is not important that the rug
color scheme be followed exactly,
but do make a little chart of the
rug colors as shown here at the
left. If you do not wish to repeat
the background color for your
walls, use a, pale tone of one of
the other colors. A stronger tone
of any color in the rug may be-
come your accent color,

Hair Hint. -Lemon Juice added
to the rinsing water will help to
preserve the color of fair hair and
also make it bright and glossy.
Shellacking Chairs.-A coat of
clear shellac over the seats of
rush-bottom chairs will greatly
prolong their lives and keep the
reed from splitting.
70 Clean Pewter.-Wash the ar
ticles in hot water with a paste
made Of soft soap and powdered
pumice stone. Then polish with
cloth or channels leather.
Turnip Sauce.-Here is a SPLEEN
did substitute for horseradish
sauce. Scrape a white turnip very
finely. Make some mustard with
vinegar. Mix the two and add a
little salt and pepper.
About Cedar hests.-Remem-
Der cedar chests will not kill
moths or their eggs. But if the
garment is put into the cedar
chest free of eggs and larvae, it
will never become damaged from
moths.
Mustard on Sandwiches. When
using mustard or any piquant
sauce for sandwiches, mix it with
the butter before spreading on the
bread. This ensures even distri-
button.
Preparing a Chicken for Roast
ing.-Brush chicken over with OIL
i've oil. This makes it tender, and
the flavor is improved.
Fruit Stains. - Rub powdered
borax on fruit stains; then pour
boiling water through the fabric
before washing and boiling it.
Coffee Hint.-Should coffee not
be freshly ground, place the re-
quired quantity in a pan and shake
over low heat for a moment be-
fore infusing. The flavor will equal
that of newly bought coffee.

Under such program, the neighbor with de-
mand and the neighbor equipped to supply that de-

mutual advantage Of each. The person seeking
the help would stand to gain through reduced costs
and improved service made possible by having his

fact that the benefits to each Of the parties to
