THE WOMEN
Man Hunters: Forget
 Men On Your Vacation

tracking down man.
 If she is e country girl at heart, she can find an ideal spot and en- joy the fishing. riding. or what ever in the oldest clothes she owns, without worrying about whether the wave is out of her hair, or her lipstick is just SO. MAYBE, TOO, SHE'LL MEET HIM ANYWAY
 If her idea of a perfect vacatio is staying right in her own apart ment and doing some of the enter taining she never seems to find time for during the year. she can do that-without worrying about meet ing new men.
 Her two weeks, if she spends them in doing what she most likes to do. will do wonders for her. She'll go back to the job feeling like a real person, instead of a grind.
 And there is always (though she mustn't think of it, or that will ruin everyhting) the possibility that she might stumble on that eligible man when she isn't look ing-and have better luck just for that very reason.
 But the real point is, she will have a vacation this year instead Of a hunting expedition.

i8 to 2s years old; most cases in men occur in men around 10. One reason, I believe, Is the propensity of young women smokers to excess; possibly the feminine neurone IS more vulnerable too.
 Any tobacco user who has "heart. burn", gas or the characteristic oomplex-pain or burning, which is relieved for while by food, which Is followed presently by pain or burning, and so on--had better consider the desirability of temper ance.
 QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
 Iodine
 Is 1t safe for one "A years old with goitre to take your Iodine ration9 (Mrs. B. E. s.
 Ans.-It is safe for one any age to take 1t. If one with goitre Is not taking iodine or similarly acting medicine of other kind, 1t is safe. Send stamped envelope bearing your address, and ask for monograph Instructions for Taking an Iodin Ration"
 Mrs. Camp on the Job
 The doctor never said anything about 1t while I was In hospital, but my nurse told me that one cannot have good health without a bowel movement at least once day, bet ter three times @ day, and she ad- vised me to take co. Eo
 Ans.-I advise you not to take It. A competent nurse never prescribes anything for patients. When Q nurse doubles as little tin doctor, she is generally not worth her salt as nurse. Send ten cents coin and stamped envelope bearing your ad- dress, for booklet '"The Constipation Habit and Colon Hygiene"
 Salt Water
 Have been gargling with salt water every night for ten years. In view of what you said about people taking too much salt, do you think 1t advisable to continue this prac- tice? I imagine that while gargling or afterward some salt Is taken in- to the system. GA. B.
 Ans.-It is harmless if you enjoy fussing with 1t, but don't believe it., does any good in any circum- stance. Before you go to bed do you go around and make sure all your pores are closed?
 Vaccination
 Had daughter, aged IS months, vaccinated. It did not take. Is the virus or material in her blood now? How can We get t out?
 Mrs. c. R. O.
 Answer-No. Better have the vac- cination repeated at least twice. if 1t does not take. Infants should be vacclnated before they are six months old-least upset attends vaccination then.

THE POISON AND THE DAMAGE

THE POISON AND THE DAMAGE
 Familiar rejoiner of the patient whose health has been so seriously affected by tobacco that the doctor prohibits smoking altogether is How long does it take 1t to get the nicotine out Of the system2"
 Oh. maybe eight or ten hours from the last chew or puff. But that makes no difference with the treatment, The question Is, not how long 1t takes to eliminate or excrete tobacco or It's components or the components of tobacco smoke, but how much damage has been done to delicate nerve cells or other tissues or organs in the time the tobacco user has been abusing them? The same answer must be made to similar question in the case of acute or chronic poisoning by alcohol, arsenic, lead, carbon m noxide. Unfortunately the complete elimination or excre- ton from the body, of any such poison, does not mean that no last ing or even permaet harm or inc jury has been done by the poison in the short time 1t has been in the system.
 Therefore the smoker who makes 8 hog of himself or herself--and develops serious nerve, throat, sto- mach, heart or eye trouble need not hope to see the trouble clear up a week after he or she stops using tobacco. Rather 1t will be for- tunate outcome if the trouble dis appears in the course of four or five months of total abstinence plus proper medical treatment.
 Serious manifestations of chron- ic tobacco poisoning occur almost invariably in persons who make hogs of themselves, by excessive and unreasonable indulgence. For example, smoking before a meal or in the course of meal; smoking while at work chain smoking - that is, lighting a fresh one as soon as the last one has been smoked.
 Among the characteristic mani- festations of tobacco poisoning - and remember these maladies per- sist for many months after the use of tobacco has been stopped - is gastric or duodenal ulcer complex, condition difficult or impossible to distinguish from gastric or duo- denal lucer, indeed excessive use of tobacco is regarded by most authorities as one of the causes of gastric or duodenal luecr.
 So closely does tobacco poison- ing simulate or mimic peptic ulcer in some cases that, if on opening a fresh pack--a fresh caes of ulcer the surgeon fails to find any ulcer he may console himself with the knowledge that a complete rest in hospital, low diet and the sooth- ing influence of all the nurses and doctors milling about during con- valescece will probably relieve the patient of whatever she brought with her.
 There we go again. coeducation- al. There is a reason. Most cases ef ulcer in women occur in women

 Cooling cologne and lightly scented toilet water have a very de- finite place in the summer beauty picture.
 The smart woman uses perfume (light floral odorD for evening, but after her morning bath and during the hot daytime hours, she pre- fers cologne or Q toilet water She likes, too, some of the after bath friction rubs which have a cooling effect which seems to last for hours. When she's in q lavish mood, she pours bit of toilet water or friction lotion into her tub and pats 1t on after bathing as well.
 For shower addicts, there are special attachments to be fastened to the shower head and then filled with bath salts. Thus the water is scented and oftened aB it passes through the shower head.
 IT'S NEVER "TOO
 HOT TO BOTHER"
 If you have spent more hours in the sun than you intended or fl you notice that your skin just Isn't as soft and smooth as 1t should be, try an olive oil rub Just before step. ping under the shower.
 Simply heat little olive oil and, using cotton pad, cover your. self from head to foot with c thin film of oil. Message and pat in into elbows, legs, hands, knees and feet. Leave 1t on for about twenty min. utes, then shower, using plenty of soap and water. This is an inexpen- Sive way to counteract the drying effects of too much sunshine, active sports and the like.
 Remember from now on that metlculous grooming B all-impor. tant The woman who batheS at least twice c day, wears clean, carefully pressed dresses and snowy white accessories is bound to be more attractive and there- fore will mind the heat less than one who stubbornly says "Its just too hot to bother"
