QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
L. N.-"What are the causes
and cures of impetigo?"
Answer-Impetigo is pus In
lection of the skin around the nose
and mouth, usually occurring In
infants. 1t is caused by the ordi.
nary pus germs, staphylococcus
and streptococcus. Due to scratch

the use Of ammoniated mercury

case, however, it is no disease for
an amateur TO tackle. A doctor
should be consulted.

Ketogenic Diet-Many requests
have come in for a prescription
for the ketogenic diet for epilepsy.
In general, it consists in high fat
and low starch: concentrated sug-
ars such as candy, and desserts,
are prohibited. Exact prescrip-
tons cannot be calculated unless
age and weight are known, and
should be ordered by physician.
It is best to consult the physician
anyway to determine whether the
condition really is epilepsy. The
function of this column is not to
teach people to treat themselves,
but TO teach them what their doc
tors can do for them.

for your furs and jewels. Made OF
black wool, it features a collarless
Jacket that is longer than those
you saw last year. The coat is pin
tucked at either shoulder to give
smart detail. The dickey blouse Is
bright paisley, fabric that is
destined to be popular this spring.
Of course, fer a change, you can
wear white tailored blouses or

be equally as chic. The hat is a
closely wrapped turban, tied in the

pin similar to the silver mountings
of the black suede handbag is the

ed out, basing his remarks upon
the two government sponsored

penditures in the United States.
Seventy per cent of all Negro
families with regular income, live
on food that costs less than two
dollars per person per week ana

drew the conclusion that the
American problem is not only TO
increase income "a long-range

also to enable the consumer, as an

BY ARDEN II. DUANE FOR AMP

Inevitably connected with the
Lenten season is the serving OF
fish. have often wondered why
most of us confine the serving of
fish during Lent and to one day
a week during the rest of the
year.
Fish is becoming more and more
appreciated for its iodine contest
and it's vitamin content. It is
with out a doubt, extremely edible
ard palatable. 1t is the most
economical of mair dishes. 1t pro-
v;sed the same protein nutrition as
meat with a larger percentage OF
vitamins as an extra attraction.
We can enjoy fresh fish, canned or
frozen fish.-all good to eat and
good for you.
Fish takes so little time to cook
it cooks at a temperature far
lower than meat. If you bake fish
remember to use no water in the
process. If you boil fish, then you
must have q good rich sauce to
add flavor. Your sauce will either
make or break the edibility Of the
fish.
You'll find that fish maybe or
dinarily cooked and be heavenly.
Tie best fish recipes are simple, SO
let Us have fish often, but have it
varied.
