 Gifts which will enable your con- yalescent friends to emerge from the hospital with skin, hair, nails and therefore morale-in pretty fine condition are highly recommended.
 Nothing is more demoralizing to a convalescent than the oh-you-poor- thing look she sees on the faces of people who come to call during her last few days in the hospital or i'm mediately after she gets home. The knowledge that her hair is stringy and uncurled doesn't help matters a bit. Untidy hair makes even a perfectly healthy woman feel pret- | t. pathetic.
 It would be 8 good idea, for in- stance, to let one of your gifts be a really good hairbrush, attractively packaged with perhaps one fresh flower tucked into the ribbon bow on the outside of the box. Without much difficulty nurse can be en- couraged U brush the patients hair at least once day and so bring back its natural sheen which illness took away.
 A waterless shampoo is an- other beauty gift that's sure to be appreciated. One new prep aration of this type comes in a bottle, requires no water for washing or rinsing. It is simply to be poured on dry hair then whisked about until a light father is formed. Afterward, the hair is dried with a clean, rough towel. Waves and ringlets may be coaxed into place when the hair is partially dry.
 The waterless shampoo cleans the scalp perfectly, leaves the hair soft, fluffy and free from oil. The slight ly medicinal odor which remains after the shampoo will disappear within CIV hours. Incidentally, this preparation is certain to become popular with travellers as well as with women who would like to be able to freshen up their locks at home at a moments notice.

welcome in the sick room. The in- valid will like having her back rub bed with 1t instead of with plain al- cohol, and she'll use it on her hands and perhaps across her brow now and then.
 A de luxe present might be a bath set consisting of cologne. bath powder and a large cake of soap in light, matching odor. Or a box of finest soap in assorted sizes. Or bath powder and a few sachet pillows to keep among nightgowns and handkerchiefs.
 Approprite, too, would be man. icure kit which includes bottle of lubricating oil or cream for nails which are dry and brittle as result of fever. If the patient dislikes liquid polish, or if you suspect that neither she nor the nurse is adept at apply ing it, how about a good buffer and some paste or powder polish to be used in conjunction with buffing?
 If she has pet likes and dislikes in manicure preparations, you might make up a box instead of buying kit. Fill it with emery boards, cot- ton and. orange sticks, of course, her favorite brand of polish, nail lubri- cant, buffing powder and hand cream.
 Speaking of hand cream, you might remember that ajar of it or a bottle of hand lotion will please any hospital patient. A new hand and elbow cream, nicely scented and easy to apply, is good suggestion.
 If you know her well enough and know her preferences, don't over- look the idea of sending or taking a large jar of night cream. Or, when she's practically well, a jar of mas que. Either is sure to be good for her skin as well as her spirits.

o. Do packing houses utilize the blood from animals in the manutac- ture of products for human con- sumption?
 A, Only a relatively small amount of blood, specially collected for the purpose. is utilized by packing houses in the preparation of proo- nets for human consumption, such as blood sausage or blood pudding or is sold as an edible product TOT use by manufacturers of food prou- ucts or pharmaceuticals. Much the greater proportion of blood IS al- lowed to run on the killing hooi and is thereafter classed as an m- edible product. The inedible blooo finds a good market for a variety of industrial applications as an ad- hesive or emulsifier, and as an ln- gredient in fertilizers and animal leeds. In establishments operating under Federal meat inspection, only blood from cattle may be passed as an edible product, and then only provided it is derived from U. D. lh- spected and passed carcasses' ano is collected and handled in a sanl, tary manner.
