QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Migraine

Migraine
 Some time ago we read in your column about calcium and vitamin D for neuralgia or migraine. My husband was sufferer and he also had sinus trouble. He took the cal- cium and vitamin D for months. and has been entirely relieved. His sinus trouble has bothered him very little since he began taking the treatment. (Mrs. s. L. S.)
 Answer-Thank you. Whenever calcium is taken, vitamin D should be taken with it, as vitamin D is es- sential for the assimilation, utiliza- ton and retention of calcium in the body. Such treatment has brought marked relief in many cases of pe- riodic sick headache (migraine) and in some cases of ordinary neuralgia headache.

 Where under the sun can I get wheat germ, here in Texas? I have never seen a flour mill in this part of the state. Would brewers yeast be suitable substitute for it?
 (Mrs. G. W.)
 Answer-Most mills now sell wheat germ in small quantities to people who call and ask for it. Some mills are shipping it by mail on orders from people anywhere, at around 20 cents pound in two or five pound packages, with carriage charges col lect. No, yeast is not satisfactory substitute, for few persons can eat enough yeast to get the amount of vitamin B complex they get in a few ounces of wheat germ daily. ' Parkinson's Disease-Shaking Palsy have what the doctors call Par kinson's disease or shaking palsy but they say they know of no rem edy that will relieve it. (M. E. D.
 Answer-Treatment with scopola- mine Cor hyoscine), benzedrine and vitamin D or parathyroid gland hor- none has brought about much inn provement in some cases. These must be administered by your physi- clan.
 Salt
 Is 1t injurious to health to take teaspoonful of common salt in two glasses of water every morning be- fore breakfast? (E. R. D.
 Answer-1t may be. Why take the salt? Most people get rather toe much salt anyway. The water, hot tepid, cool or cold, is beneficial, ii you feel at all thirsty at that time
 Live Yeast Poor in Vitamins use 8 yeast starter for making ] bread, saving a little each time to start next batch. Would this yeast have the vitamin B one would get in other yeast? GA. R. Ro
 Answer-Such live yeast is com paratively poor in vitamins. The yeast richest in vitamins (B and @ is brewers yeast that has been pas teurized-this does not ferment. Protected by John F. Dille Col

PATTERN 889
A TRIM, BECOMING NEW SI'TRTWA AISTER

Want to play game of hide-and- go-seek with those bothersome extra pounds? Claire Tilden has designed Pattern 889 along such subtly flat tering and slimming lines that you'd have to hunt a long time to find anything wrong with your figure. For instance that down the front buttoning is not only practical making this dress easy to handle in a flat piece while sewing or iron ing it - but it's also a slenderizing and decorative feature. Aren't the button triplets amusing? Ample darts at the shoulders insure trim fit and release roominess through out the bodice, while center front and back skirt panels leave the hips slim with smart fullness below. Make the sleeves in either slashed shirtwaist style or long. And use just the softly rounded revers at the neck, or add a small collar too.
 Pattern 889 is cut in misses and women's sizes IS, IS, 20, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, A and 46. Size 36 requires yards 39 inch fabric.
 .. Send FIFTEEN CENTS 15c) in coins for this pattern. WRITE CLEARLY SIZE, NAME, ADDRESS AND STYLE NUMBER.

 If he is one kind of man, he soon starts working longer hours than he needs to.
 If he's another kind, he finds a girl who can keep her hands and mouth both still and listen when he talks.
 If he's another type, he finds him. self hobby, and spends every spare moment at it.
 If he is less energetic than any of those, he sits and pretends to listen and says, "Umm-" and "Is that SOP" at regular intervals. SILENT WIFE

 Well, she would stand lot better chance of making something real of her marriage if she confined her knitting or crocheting to times when she is alone, or sitting around with several other women-all of whom have some kind of fancy work in their hands.

 A POOR PERSON I remember one time when my youngsters were little, and we visited some friends. When we got off the train, there wa sa distance to walk At each house, if it was a big one they would say, T hope that's it mother" and if it was small, un- pretentious place, they would say anxiously, That isn't the place, is it?"
 The house proved to be average They looked crestfallen.
 Our visit of two days was very lovely. They found that the chil- dren who lived in the smalles homes around there were frequently the most kind, as well as the best trained.
 It gave me the chance for an enlightening talk on values.
 You will have to do something of the sort with your family, I think
 The will be utterly unhappy all the rest of their lives if they learn to base their friendships or what their neighbors have.
 Of course, all children are nor. mally proud of new things. Every child struts when a new rug i, laid, a new car is delivered, ol mother gets new dress. w have to permit that, for it is SC human to strut when he gets some. thing new, but don't let Grand. pas money" ruin them.

DIZZY IS RIGHT

I wonder what you will say next, writes a reader from the wild west. Your article about people getting fat got me dizzy. You say one should lay of carbohydrates and starchy food, and that animals do not eat them and that's why they stay streamlined. I reckon you haven't seen horses and cattle being fat- tened. (S. G. W)
 Perhaps you were dizzy when you read such remarkable assertions in my column, Friend w., for certainly I never wrote them, and while the printers sometimes play terrible pranks with copy hardly believe they would go that far.
 What I said and what I now re- peat is that most people consume carbohydrate food, refined carbo- hydrates, such as starch, sugars, pastry, cake, candy, syrups, etc., to excess, eat more of such refined car- bohydrates than they can burn or use, and the excess tends to pile up III SuperIluOuS 1aI.
 Referring to animals, said that animals not under domestic care do not eat more than they need and hence do not become too fat-ex- cept animals that hibernate and purposefully store up fat to keep them warm and supply the limited vital energy they use during hy- bernation.
 Everybody requires reasonable amount of fats and carbohydrates Sugars and starches) daily, and no one, not even fat person who should reduce can Hay off" from such food without serious risk ot running health or perhaps bringing on grave illness, if by laying off you mean excluding such food from

 Of course animals eat fats and carbohydrates.
 I pick on your misinterpretation of what I say, Friend w., because you seem to be in earnest.
 Before I venture to make posi- tive assertion in reference to a question of health or sickness I give the matter good deal of study and thought.
 Several times I have been wrong in my teachings or advice, and ] have acknowledged it here and apologized and reversed my former teachings or advice.
 But when I'm right it is hard tc remain silent while unsound or ab- surd teachings are imputed to me either ignorantly or maliciously.

HOT PICNIC MEAL POSSIBLE

It's quite possible these days to take a complete cooked hot dinner on an outdoor picnic. Prepare the dinner in one of the compact little electric roasters that cook an entire meal at once-roast, vegetables, even dessert-then turn off the current and take the roaster, food inside, right along with you. New roasters are heavily insulated to retain heat. which also makes them ideal for kitchenette meals in hot weather

 Time was when only very small symmetrical hands with taperlng fingers were considered at all attrac- tive. Girls whose hands were square g short and plump, angular or otherwise irregularly formed, resign ed themselves to putting on some variation of the sitting on their hands" act.
 All has changed, however. Now adays, the standards by which man. val beauty is judged have to do with grooming more than bone structures. 'eople admire strong, capable-look- ing hands as well as perfectly shap- ed, delicate ones. That is, if they are smooth, beautifully groomed and manicured.
 It doesn't matter that fingers are short and fat if nails are becom- ingly shaped, knuckles smooth and white. Cared for properly, large really large hands can shine bright ly.
 GROOMING MEANS
 MUCH IN BEAUTY
 It's all matter of regular at- tention, of course. The smart girl keeps nail brush handy and uses it daily-on knuckles and wrists as well as fingertips anl around nails Once a week she rubs slice of lemon over her hands. It removes discolorations easily, economically
 She uses hand lotion many, many times a day. In fact, after each washing. Now and then she covers hands and wrists with rich night cream and wears clean, loose cotton gleves all night. Incidentally, be- cause she believes that smooth, we'll
