HYGIENE FOR ONE sUByECT
 TO HEMORRH0IDS

Having held the bad habit of ccn- stant nagging with physics respon- sible for the development of hemcr- rhoids (piles) in . great many cases, I suppose 1t is only fair to say that . dose of salts, any kind of brisk saline cathartic (least objectionable, per- haps, is q bottle of Solution of Mag nesium Citrate Efervescent = the whole twelve-ounce bottle Is only 6 moderate dose) is a good emergency remedy for the relief of an acute. painful attack" of piles. The direct ef1ect of q dose of salts is to attract water, from the congested area, and discharge the water in watery evacu- ations, and this diminishes portal congestion in the hennorrhoidal area. No local or internal medication can cure piles in the sense of putting an end to the trouble. Local medica- ton can only relieve pain or con- gestion and 50 help to shorten the discomfort or suffering of the "at- tack" After the attack" is over, that is, after the Inflammation sub- sides, the pile or piles are still there, and 1t is only question of time, habits and personal hygiene how long before another attack will oc- cur.
 One who suffers from recurring "attacks" of piles or from pain or from bleeding, shoul dnot temporize or waste time and money on nos- trums purporting to be "pile cures" |" but should have the trouble properly treated as matter of comfort, good health, safety and economy.
 The modern treatment of piles, either internal or external, is prac- tically painless and may be carried out in the physicians office without interrupting the patients everyday activities. It is as quaint and stupid to hesitate to seek medical treatment for fear treatment will hurt as 1t is to evade proper treatment from |prudish embarrassment.
 Instead of using mailorder cata- logues, flour sacks, newspapers, corn cobs, leaves, grass and so-called toilet lpaper for toilet of the perineum, as we do in this country, 1t would be far better hygiene to use soap and water for cleaning and towel merely for drying the perineal region after defecation. It would advance the level of hygiene and health in this country tremendously, in my opinion, if about ten million more wash basins were installed in public eating places which now have none or impoSsibly primitive accommoda- tions for washing the hands.
 The country also needs awakening to the value of and necessity for bidets in bathrooms in homes. A bidet is a modified sitz bath, provid- ed with hot and cold running water and means of flushing; 1t is con- venience for proper cleanliness and the bathroom without it is @ crude arrangement even if it be adorned with solid gold dewdags and tile right up to the ceiling.
 Anyway, one subject to piles must practice scrupulous soap and water
 cleanliness in order to avoid unduly frequent attacks. A single failure
 to observe this requirement. may

The new heated ink will solidify the instant it touches the paper. Its use permits faster press runs, pro- duces clearer printing and does not weaken the paper because of heat.

 Better still is the illuminated writing pad, handy for both bedside and telephone table use.
 Long distance writing has ad- vanced another step with the de- velopment of the radio typewriter. Styled like the teletypewriter, it can send exclusive messages over many miles to be received on a companion machine.

POL.I'S

Hollywood has hit on another happy romantic teaming with Greer Carson and Laurence Olivier per. fectly cast as the spirited lovers in the picturization of Jane Austen's amusing comedy, Pride and Preju. dice" which opened this afternoon at Loew's Poll for an engagement of four days.
 Two brilliant stars, both winners last year of Academy Award nomi- nations, Miss Carson for her mem orable Mrs. Chips" and Olivier for his Heathcliffe in "Wuthering Heights" reveal new talents for comedy in the hilarious story of pride, prejudice and romance in early nineteenth century England.
 The story centers around the Bonnet family, handicapped by five unwedded daughters. Miss Carson makes lovely and intelligent Elizabeth, the eldest daughter, Oli- vier is Darcy, a proud and wealthy young aristocrat who visits the vil- lage where they live. Despite his pride in family and distaste for the Bennets as group, Darcy falls in love with Elizabeth who is preju. diced against his arrogance from the first.
 The various romances of the Ben- net girls are interwoven with the love affair of Elizabeth and Darcy. It is not until he has almost lost Elizabeth that Darcy realizes fam fly pride can't hold a candle tO the charming Elizabeth. A chance to redeem himself in her eyes comes when Lydia, least conventional of the sisters, creates a scandal by running of with an adventurer. Darcy saves her honor and also the Bonnet family pride and Elizabeth gives in.
 Supporting performances are uni- formly excellent, particularly the highlight comedy portrayals of Mary Roland, Edna May Oliver and Ed- Inund Gween. Pleasing to the eye in their feminine costumes against colorful settings of the period are Maureen OSullivan, Ann Ruther- ford, Marsha Hunt and Heather Angel. For the entire family, this Is one of the years finest enter tainments.
 The second big hit Is 'sThree Faces West" about innocent vice tims uprooted from the soil on which their hopes and lives depend- ed upon. starring John Wayne and eigrid Gurie.
 Be on the alert for '.Boom Town" with the famous four stars.

First take out the hem and open up any other stitch ing which might interfere with the even distribution of the color. Then wash thoroughly in soap and water. Rinse well. While the fabric Is still wet, immerse in the dye bath. Use an unmarred enamel utensil for the dye bath that will contain enough iiuuid to cover the garment conn pletely without crowding. Stir with < Rlass curtain rod. Follow the dir- ections on the dye package impiiclt- iy. Rinse in clear water until no traee of color Is shown in the water.
