 o. How is orach prepared fol eating? ...
 A. Much the same as spinach Many persons cook the entire plants if harvested when from to 6 inch es high, but the quality of ths cooked product is improved by stripping the leaves from the stems before cooking. Orach greens art similar to spinach in flavor, but are of finer and softer texture. These who prefer greens of slightly acic flavor add a few leaves of broad leaved sorrel to the orach' in cook. ing.
 o. Should the hostess or the fe- male guest of honor b eserved first at dinner?
 A. If the food is arranged on in- dividual plates, the hostess is usual ly served first. If some of the dish- es are served by the hostess, the guest of honor is served first.
 O. How may I remove oil ar6 grease spots from leather uphol- stered chair?
 A. Coat the spots with thick and quick drying rubber cement and peel it off when it is nearly dry. It may be necessary to repeat the operation several times.

 Calcium
 You said there is little scienti- fic support for Dr. Ullmann's theory that calcium taken at the same mea with citrus fruit or juice is pre-. cipitated or not utilized. At Sarato ga Springs the doctors advised pa. tients to take no fresh fruit at al. when drinking the mineral waters there, claiming they do not mix well.-(J. s. W.)

 e.. I probably need more exercise. too. wouldn't tell the doctor, but I'll bet I haven't walked ten miles in five years. Of course hate walking. Still it wouldn't kill me to make myself do it.
 Or I could at least do those exer- cises wrote to that beauty editor for. They don't sound so difficult. They'd probably make me healthier wom- ah as well as more slender one.

 "Oh well, I hereby resolve to do better. I'll eat a little less of every thing next time diet. I'll get some exercise every day-or else! might even try to squeeze in a breath of fresh air every now and then.

 "Yes, understand. The boys won't need to know you have had your hands fixed in order to give new start. I think you will be sur prised how proud you will be of nice hands, and nice, clean smooth nails, dear"

PATTERN 991 A TINY-WAISTED FIRMLY CUT DRESS

A job-and-date girl needs a two timing outfit that's as much at ease behind a dinner table as it is behind a desk. Claire Tilden's Pattern 991 is just the thing! Moreover, it will look as fresh and dainty this Sum- mer as it does all through the Spring. There's something candid ly young about the high, round neck The cross-the-f front yoke swells into graceful curves and is smart ac- cented by buttons. Its broad shouldered effect emphasizes the span of the hand waist -girdle. You'll like the softneSs of the bloused bodice; the young flare of the biaS-cut, circular skirt that's made in two easy pieces. You might sew buttons clear down to the waist in back. And do tie gay gros- grain ribbon sash around your waist A flower print would make a per- feet fabric for social occasions. For more everyday wear, use one of the new sunshine cottons, and add ric- rae edging. Or for a dash of nov city, let the entire bodice be in striking contrast, giving two-piece effect.
 Pattern 991 is cut in misses and Women's sizes IA, 16, IS, 20, 32, 34 36, 38 40 and AZ. Size 16 requires 3 IA yards 39 inch fabric and 1 3-4 yards ribbon.

ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE?

Clerical reader assures me that my articles in the press are helpful to an increasing number of people and then as I swallow the corn yanks the String-or were you al- ways kind to your neighbours chic kens when they raided your garden? Your heresy is delightful" writes the pastor, implying that I will have my little jokes about colds, rheuma- tism, uric acid nervous exhaustion and the like, but on the whole I am not hopeless case and when I grow up will probably have better balance.
 What mainly worries the parson, however, is high blood pressure. It seems that chap in recent news paper story claims to have evolved 8 new remedy for high blood pres sure and the story kindly conveys the impression that ninety per cent of the persons treated have been >cured." The chap who hit up on the discovery is, of course, not a medi- cal doctor at all, but, oddly enough purports to be an electrical engin- ger. The minister desires assurance that the treatment will do no harm and then he will be willing to try it.
 know nothing about the treat ment or the chap who discovered it. But if the credulous man of the cloth can take my teachings seri- ously I may sell enough about high blood pressure to have him from making a-from being sadly de- ceived.
 Even if the remedy or treatment is not harmful in itself, consider able harm may be done by neglect of proper treatment for whatever the trouble may be or by failure to remove or correct factos which may be causing the trouble, while the victim is experimenting with the treatment which has cured ninety per cent of the persons who have tried 1t.
 High blood pressure is not a di- sease. It is merely one manifesto tion of variety of functional and organic ailments. It is absurb to assume that living habit or 8 form of exercise or a medicine or 8 temperamental attitude which will tend to raise or lower the blood pressure of J. Doe who has syphil- itic aortitis will have the same eff feet on the blood pressure of Mrs. R. Roe who has myxedema or io- dine deficiency or hypothyroidism. Without citing more conditions in which blood pressure might be too high or too low, I can assure the dominic that any one who pretends he has found cure for high blood pressure is either crook or an ignoramus or both.
 And this is no heresy.

BLAME YOUR LIVER IT,

If your liver doesn't secrete 20 to 30 ounces of bile every dag into your intes- tines-constipation with it's headaches, mental dullness and that "half-alive" feeling often result.

Edwards for treating his patients for constipation and sluggish liver bile.
