Elbows need attention these days.
At any moment now you'll have to
give up the spring suit which hides
them so completely and get into
short-sleeved silk and cotton dresses
which won't hide them at all.
Begin to eliminate the rough or,
worse yet, downright scaly look,

CURED curing cold winter months
by resolving to scrub them at least
once day.
THOROUGH SCRUBBING is IN
ORDER
The simplest way to carry out this
resolution is to use a bath brush as
well as a rough wash cloth in your
tub. One smart woman we know
places nail, bath and complexion
brushes in a little tray which fits
across the tub and uses each dur
ing her bath.
First, she scrubs her face. Then;
leaning forward she turns on the
faucet and gets some clear water
for rinsing. She dries her face care
fully, covers it with night cream
and leaves the cream on while she
finishes her bath.
She uses the long handled bath
brush to scrub her back, shoulders,
elbows, knees and feet; the nail
brush to remove the days CRIME
from hands and under fingernails.
Once a week, she puts a piece of
pumice in the tray with the brushes
and uses it to discourage callouses
on heels and soles of feet.
CREAM ELBOWS AND KNEES
In addition to daily scrubbing
with brush and plenty of soap
suds, elbows need to be creamed
regularly during the late spring
months. Use a special hand and ell
bow cream for the purpose. Or, if
they are in particularly rough con-
dition, massage some of your regular

TOO MUCH SALT

1OO MUCH SALl
Some of the effects of excessive
salt consumption are quite similar
to the complaints which a great
many readers have reported strik-
ingly alleviated or remedied by po-
tassium chloride, that is, soluble
potassium chloride tablets taken,
of course, dissolved in water, two Or
three times a day for a while, OF
from time to time as needed. Detailed
instructions for this are given in
the monograph Relief for Allergy,"
sent on request if you provide a
stamped envelope bearing your adj
dress. Don't try to take ordinary
potassium chloride and don't try to
swcllow it as powder, tablet, capsule
or pill
Too much salt tends to keep too
much water in the cells and tissues,
that is, it keeps the body water
logged, so to speak, state in which
flabbiness, tired feeling, chronic
fatigue is inevitable. In some cases
of actual dropsical swelling of the
legs or other parts of the body ply
sicians prescribe a salt-poor diet as
part of the general treatment. An at
tempt to follow such a diet in the
hope of reducing high blood pres
sure, without particular regard for
the bad hygienic wrong habits or
even organic or functional disease
of which the elevated blood pressure
is sign or manifestation, would
be silly sort of mischief for child
mipded invalid to get into. If a
salt-poor diet (salt-free diet is a
misnomer) is advisable in any case
the physician who prescribes it will
instruct the patient what to eat and
what not to eat.
Restricting the everyday excessive
use of salt as seasoning or condiment
has proved beneficial in some cases
of tinnitus Annoying head noises
associated with deafness, but not for
the deafness itself, unless this is due
to so-called nasal catarrah. Salt re-
striction is distinctly indicated by
chronic obstructive rhinitis, espe-
cially when the obstruction of one or
both nostrils is intermittent rather
than constant or permanent.
Headache is one of the complaints
of persons who take too much salt.
But, if you remember, we have adj
vocated here, as a comparatively
harmless remedy for headache,
large dose of common salt-namely,
fifteen grams of sodium chloride in
a salol-coated tablet every five min
utes until four to six tablets have
been taken. Oh, well, If we can't
have it both ways, you may suit your
own taste. I mention it, reluctantly,

Two-thirds of the weight of
healthy adult is water. Excessive
salt consumption retains too much
water in the cells and tissues and
blood. In a healthful girth control
the daily salt intake should be rea-
Sonably restricted. Individuals who
habitually add too much salt to their
food generally reduce several pounds
and look and feel better if they cut
out the use of salt as condiment.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Badness
Is badness hereditary? Is leprosy
contagious? Please answer, so I can
quote your opinion in our debating
class. miss A. s.
Answer-Premature badness seems
more prevalent in certain families,
although I have no opinion as to
whether this is due to heredity. Lep-
rosy is only feebly infectious, not
contagious in the strict sense. in
many instances families have lived
for years in intimate contact with
lepers with no evidence of infection
of other members of the family.
How Much Is Five Grains?
I have obtained some granular
potassium chloride, but how can I
tell how much to take, for allergic
rhinitis? Ct. C. W.
Answer suggest that you take
one or two flve-grain tablets of solu-
BILE potassium chloride, dissolved in
a glass of water, two or three times
a day or as needed to relieve the
symptoms. Be sure to get soluble
tablets - otherwise the potassium
chloride does not dissolve readily.

Washington, April 10-(UP)-The
housewife who markets carefully
can supply her family of four with
an adequate diet for about $3.50 a
week, under a model plan suggested
by the Agriculture Department
bureau of home economics.
A liberal diet, providing generous
ly for all food requirements, can be
provided for about $18 a week. If
expensive luxuries are added the
cost would be somewhat higher, the
bureau said in a bulletin on Diets
to Fit the Family Income"
The moderate-cost diet provides
all the different nutrients in suffi-
cient quantities to keep adults and
children in good health, plus a sur
plus for safety, the bulletin said. 1t

Ingenuity Saves Money
"The homemaker who wishes to
set a moderate-cost table with a
little ingenuity can provide her
family with meals fully as attrac-
tive as the liberal-cost NEAL" the
bureau said.
The moderate-cost budget for one
week to feed a family CO FOUR inclu-
