MOLEs, TRECKLEs AND
LIVER SPOTS

Moles are augmented spots In the
skin, yellowish, brownish or black,
from pinhead to dime size, usually
present at birth or appearing In the
first year Of life but sometimes not
developing until childhood or early
puberty. Some moles are on O level
with the normal skin around them;
some are elevated above the skin
level; some have smooth, some rough
or warty, some contain long hairs,
some contain fatty masses.
In view Of the great number Of
persons who have one or more moles
which amount to no more than o
cosmetic blemish throughout life,
II is rather remarkable how rarely
moles become the site Of cancers.
It is well to remember, however, the
characteristic tendency Of cancer
to develop In any such spot after
prolonged slight irritation, and this
should be kept In mind particularly
when any such benign lesion or
anomaly begins to show any change
In character after years Of un-
changing size or appearance. ]
should say not only remember the
possibility Of malignant or cancer
Gus development, but give oneself
the benefit Of any doubt about that,
by having the lesion treated as
though II were cancer In fact
treated by x-ray, radium, or surgical
excision under local anethesia or
general II necessary, followed by skin
grating to flll any cosmetic defect
this may produce.
Other methods OF celebrating or
cosmetically improving moles are
electro disiccation (diathermy), cleo
trio cauterization, refrigeration with
solidifled carbon dioxide. OF course
In every instance the selection Of
the best method Of treatment Is q
problem for the physician. Persons
with moles or similar cosmetic
blemishes should beware Of submit
ting to the bungling surgical treat
ment Of unqualified specialists" by
the same token they should beware
Of applying any remedy which pur-
ports to remove" mole, freckle or
other cosmetic blemish, for of course
only dangerous caustics can destroy
the blemish and only q surgically
skilled operator can use such RENEE
dies with reasonable safety.

consulted. But, generally speaking,
most OF these food "fads" are to-
tally without foundation.
You can't mix your starches and
proteins? "Oh, I never do that"
YOU hear someone say. Carefully
that person avoids roast beef and
mashed potatoes, or broiled fish and
q glass Of milk at the same meal.
Yet that same person will smack
his lips at the mention Of oyster
stew, lobster O 10 Newburg, Goldfish
cakes, or baked beans and Boston
brown bread, all combinations OF
starch and proteins.
The trouble with your stomach
Is often mostly In your head. Ma
ture, fortunately, has the food-inix-
ing problem pretty well In hand.
Mix, for example, contains both
sugar Starch Is changed to sugar
In the process Of digestlon) and
protein. Likewise all cereals contain
both protein and starch; also vege-
tables.
In fact, there are very few pure
starches and proteins and they
would not only provide unattractive
meals but deficient ones. Even
starch In the form OF -four contains
some protein.
But your food Is "toxic," you say.
Normally, food isn't toxic. That's
one thing to remember next time
you begin to worry about food COM
binations.
OF course, there are some peo-
pie with definite allergies, and to
them certain foods are toxic. These
obviously should be avoided. A
physician should advise In such
cases. But, generally, were you to
avoid several foods because they
were "toxic," you would run the
danger OF diet deficiency which
might result In troubles much worse
than sensitivity or allergy.
The same holds true for "acid"
foods. Normally, tomatoes and cit.
rus fruits do not cause an "acid
condition" The acids In these foods
are normally burned or oxidized and
their residues are alkaline.

men," The they don't like 1t Is because such
an amendment would automatically do away with
the special legislation in effect In many states today
which bears on the matter Of hours, wages and
working conditions of women employees.
EQUALITY ADVOCATES ARE REALISTIC
The women who are jublient over the equal rights
plank seem to be more realistic. They see that
women never will have fair chance in competition
against men II they are given special tavors They
don't believe women can eat their cake and have It,
too.
They also see that the special favors women
receive are small in comparison with the penalties
put on women workers in return Especially, they
resent the tendency to discharge women workers
the day they marry. They see the grave danger
that Of the bills against married women work.
