|Creote Illusion
To Solve Problem
Of Small Abode

The problem of small apart
ment Is. easy to solve-if you Just
know how. It is necessary to create
an illusion Of space and this may be
done in several ways.
A color scheme In one key-that Is,
walls, ceiling and carpet all In q
soft, misty gray with pastel accents
for variations one method. There
are no sharp contrasts or sudden
shocks Of color to break the repose.
Another solution is to use dark walls
and . light wall-to-wall carpet, with
just the necessary amount Of furni-
ture and drapery and upholstery
fabrics Of misty foliage, which gives
the effect Of vanishing distance.
Mirrors repeating and repeating
the reflection of the room with table
tops of mirrors also will give a spa
cious limitless feeling-far greater
than the actual measurements Of the
room.

Cracked Bird Bath.
@. Could you tell me If there is any
way to fill up the cracks In a cement
bird bath? Some of the cracks are
small, others larger.
A. You can close hairline cracks
by coating the bath with a cement
composition paint, which comes in
powder form and is mixed with
water. For the large cracks, begin
by cutting with a cold chisel to
make them wider and deeper. Brush
out all loose cement, and dampen
the cracks with water. Pack with
patching cement and keep the patch
damp for several days for thorough
curing. Get the patching cement
at a hardware or paint store.
Old Plaster Walls.
@. For many years we've had
much difficulty and no satisfaction
in finding suitable wall covering
for our house. 1t seems that the
plaster in the old house Quilt in
1902 may contain substance that
prevents adhesion. We tried various
types of cold water paints, but find
that 1t peels, so does oil paint. We
are trying to find a substance that

The Non-Surgical
Treatment Of Hernia
Rupture
BIZ DR.. James N. UnoSatod
Atlas Hotel
4g0 Maynard Ace.

f~V M0JHUfU H0Ss
For many years the only treat
ment for Hernia (rupture) besides
the purely palliative measure of
trusses was surgical. Neither of
these methods were entirely salts
factory. The trusses were always
a constant source of irritation and
worry while the radical surgical
procedure, both expensive and
painful, was often a failure. In
1888, an eminent French Physi-
clan, DR.. Valpeau, discovered that
the injection of an irritating So
luton around the hernial opening
would set up an irritation which
would cause this opening to close.
For the lack of a satisfactory ir-
ritating solution this method was
never widely used until 1927 when
Spanish physician, DR.. Pima
Mestre, after extensive research,
compounded a solution which
works perfectly. Since then the
injection method of treating Her
MIA has increased very rapidly
both in Europe and America.
In this country many thousands
of patients have been entirely re-
LEVIED from their dangerous and
painful affection by this modern,
simple and almost painless method.
Physicians of all schools who have
seen this common sense" way of
treating hernia demonstrated have
enthusiastically accepted it. Many
prominent physicians now use it
in preference to surgery.
Patients who have been treated
by this simple, harmless and spe-
cific method are highly pleased to
be relieved of the wearing of
trusses and the danger of strang-
ulated hernia, without the pain,
expense or danger of a major sur
gical operation.
1t is somewhat difficult to de-
scribe this treatment to layman,
to whom the technical term in
terstitial infiltration" means very
little. In the following non-tech-
nical language one may get a fair
idea of how it is done.
Under a local anesthetic a ster-
lie, astringent, and irritating fluid
is injected around the opening
through which the intestines pro-
| trude. This sets up a free flow of
plastic lymph which graduates
and finally becomes organized into
firm connective tissue. This con-
nective tissue contracts. bringing
with it the edges of the hernial
opening. This treatment will not
only Drlng the edges of the torn
and stretched membranes together
but it will at the same time REIN
force these membranes so that
tearing or stretching of them will
not be likely to occur at any flu
ture time.
The treatment is given two to
three times weekly and ten to fiji
teen visits are required to COM
plete cure in most cases. The
number of visits as well as the
duration of the treatment is de-
termined by the severity of the

48 MILES FROM PARIS
French Outnumbered In Air

Greatest Battle
SITUATION IS CRAVE
By N G. CASSIDY

PARIS, June g. (AP) -
The French were falling back
tonight along nearly 60 miles
of the front but still fighting
against the German offensive
on ~Paris-facing the strong
est attack of the war and the
most massive mechanical on
slaught in military history.
The Germans threw 60 in
fantry divisions and seven
armored divisions - more
than 1000, 900 men and $500
tanks-into the assault south
Iof the Somme.
This mighty push reached
Its peak in the center of the

hurled into the battle in the
region of Roye and Noyon,

after dive bombers, artillery and
tanks had opened the way, the Nazi
infantry charged, each man holding
the shoulder of the man before him.
The French were outnumbered in
infantry.
North of the capital the French
withdrew for the second successive
day. The general fall-back was called
a retirement maneuver," and a mil
itary spokesman declared the main
line remained ~unbroken.
The Nazis also struck a tremend-
Gus blow on the French right (east)
flank and succeeded in establishing
a foothold on the south bank of the
Aisne river. In that sector, the
French we're counter-attacking bit
terly.
German pressure diminished to-
night on the extreme left (west)
flank, where the Bresle river block
ed their infantry. A tank column
of 200 to 300 which penetrated
south to Forges-Les-Eaux was re.
ported being pounded to bits by
French artillery and cannon-firing
planes.
