ALLERGY OR sINUsIT1s?

eS@~N
 Sometimes I wonder if any ot our old readers who used to get so mad when I asserted there is no such disease as rheumatism" are still alive and still suffering with reheumatism.
 I know grat many readers have touches" of neuritis, for they tell me so, but that's all I know about 1t. Sometimes, though, I wonder whether what ails them isn't-now, please don't boo-simply prolonged moderate deficiency in vitamin B complex intake.
 Nowadays I have something else to wonder about. I wonder whether a great deal of bitter controversy could not have been avoided these ten or twenty years had both sides had a better understanding of al- lergy. I mean the controversy over catching cold" It is now pretty well recognized by physicians who are abreast of progress that a large percentage of alleged "colds" that come on and clear of rather abruptly are in fact manifestations of allergy, and neither infectious nor in any way related to cold, ex- posture, weather, dampneSS or draft
 I have monograph Relief for Allergy," available on request if you inclose stamped envelope bearing your stamped. Allergic manifesto tions vary greatly in different in- dividuals-from hives or eczema in one to asthma or furious watering at the nose and machine gun sneez- ing in another.
 Why some individuals suffer from these or other manifestations oi allergy and others do not, is g mystery as yet. Indeed we do moi know why allergic sensitivity to ar identical substance, say egg white or feather dust or orris root Cir cosmetic powder) causes an ecze- matous outbreak in one individual coryza in another, asthmatic at tack in still another.
 Now many nose and throat spec ialists believe many cases of sinus trouble are not of infectious (germ) origin but purely allergic in char acter. They maintain that failure to recognize the allergic factor ir such cases is the reason why much sinus surgery fails to bring the anticipated relief.
 Frankly, I am singing in the dark or in dim light on this sub- ject, but I do not suffer from night blindness, thanks to my optima daily intake of vitamin A-a capsule or two (25,0O0 or 50,000 units) oi natural A at breakfast every morn. ing.

SHOCKING TRIMS TAILORED FROCKS

If you like to be original and distinctive in the clothes you wear, this is YOUR dress. It's Claire Tilden creation, Pattern 235, and alive with novelty. You'll like it in wool, in jersey, in rayon; you'll wear it for both sporting and festive daytime occasions, with just a change of accessories to do the trick. Notice the striking use of smocking-an fashioned, new fashioned device that's very much in vogue this year-and very easy to do. It makes 8 decorative touch just below the yokes, and it gives softness to the "hand-angle" pockets If you prefer, use shirring or gath- CTS at the shoulders and shirring at the pockets. The skirt is straight and slim after the new silhouette lines; the bodice softly bloused. The smartness of the in-one-piece yokes and bodice panel is emphasized by a double row of gay buttons. Use short sleeves or long sleeves that may be either straight or full-cut, and let the frock button saucily down the back. Here's a dress to win you compliments wherever you gol

GlOring Yourself

 You're tired of having to change your nail polish between manicures and the fact thaht you can't set your hair yourself, even though the permanent wave is almost new, is discouraging.
 You know that you will gain weight and get soft and flabby dur ing the winter unless you get some exercise regularly. But you simply cannot figure out a way to allow time for exercise.
 KEEPING UP
 A FRONT" \ You actually catch yourself wish ing that all the women in tht world would stop worrying about keeping up their looks, so you could, too.
 Whats to be done about 1t?
 Well, as a starter, face the fact that maintaining an attractive ap- pearance is part of the job of be- ing 8 woman.
 Any business man will tell you that, in any successful business, a certain amount of time, energy and money is devoted to maintain ing front" If this weren't true, Salesmen would be allowed to wear overalls when calling on customers and the firm would de- eide to dispense with the good ad- dress and move into loft across the tracks, where rent is cheaper.
 And so the business of being a woman demands that a reasonable amount of time and perhaps Q little money be spent on maintaining ap- pearances. The money should be planned to eliminate confusion and resentment.
 LEARN TO
 BUDGET TIME
 Barring unforeseen circumstance es, it's wise to have your hair done, on the same day every week. Figure out the minimum time required for before breakfast grooming, then al- low that much time every morning. Decide whether you want to do ex- ercises for ten minutes in the morn ing or sometime during the day, or whether you can devote couple of hours week to an active sport. It's impossible to Jay down gen. eral rules which will suit every wo- man. Each individual must do this for herself. The important thing is to realize the necessity for keep ing up appearances, then to arrange time and the budget to allow for doing it.

 Answer-Insanity characterized by systematized delusions without other signs of mental derangement. It begins in early adult life, usually in a person with homeopathic here ditary taint (that is, parent or other forebear has contributed de- fective material, damaged protop- lasm, as from alcoholism, feeble mindedness, epilepsy. drug habit, moral depravity, syphilis). Outlook for complete recovery is bad, but some paranoiacs live fairly normal lives and only their intimate &C., quaintances are aware of their delusions.
 White Is The Joker
 If Dr. Brady knows any better way than restoration (adding a vitamin concentrate to the flour) to make white bread fit to eat he can do the nation good turn by telling the people about it. If not, why criticise step in the right direction. (W. E. E)
 Answer-Send stamped envelope bearing your address and ask for pamphlet Wheat to Eat" If you insist on having it white know of but one better way than the present so-ca1led restoration" and that is adding the natural vitamni B complex, instead of just one or two factors of it. to the flour.

 American designers are spon- soring "pairs" of outfits - one of the pair in grown-up sizes for mother or big sister, the other in sizes for tots.
 Both mother and the miniature replica of herself can go to an-. other child's birthday party or social and program at the church in charming velveteen dresses, both cut on princess lines and otherwise made exactly alike.
 They can do the mornings work = one with the vacuum cleaner, the other with a doll-size carpet sweeper in matching smoclSs of striped chambray in pink and blue, green and white, or any one of dozen other color combinations becoming to both.
 They can even carry on their twin acts during shopping spree or a trip to grandmoth Stylist Mary Lewis and several American designers show attractive, mother and-daughter street collections. IT'S FOR SIMPLE

 One good looking "set" of this type, featured by Miss Lewis, con- sists of navy blue skirts and scarlet cardigan jockets with calots of red with navy dots and 8 small navy feather.
 Another pair, seen in a good shop, consists of dressier suits with black and white checked wool skirts and black velveteen jackets with checked wool trim around collar, pockets and single breasted closing.
