QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Net "Pores," Dora


I suppose you'll call me q Dumb
Dora, but am to blame If they
failed to teach me these things in
school? I have what call enlarged
pores and my skin is always greasy
which I suppose. (Mrs. H. G. 81
Answer-They are the dilated or
relaxed orifices Of the ducts Of the
sebaceous or oil glands. Not ''pores"
nothing can possibly be absorbed
into Or through the skin In any case.
Mix equal quantities Of the follow
ing five ingredients:
1. Sublimed sulfur
2. Alcohol
8. Compound tincture Of lavender
4. Glycerin
S. Camphor water.
If alcohol is not available use In
stead double the quantity Of laven-
dar. Shake well and dab on with
fingers at night-allowing to dry on
skin over night.
Figs
Have Teen eating figs-fresh figs
when available, dried figs otherwise
and have found they correct my
constipation, but have Ben Told the
seeds are injurious to the intestine
and likely to cause appendicitis.
(Rev. H. K. b.
AnSwer-Nonsense. On the con-
trary the seeds Of figs, raisins, ber-
ries etc, tend to improve intestinal
function, and there is no ground for
the popular notion that seeds Of
any are likely to cause appendicitis.
That is based on misinterpretation
the occasional finding Of seeds or
seed-like concreations in the appen-
dix at operation. Such foreign bodies
get into the appendix only in conse-
quence Of disease.
Bad Habit
AS understand 1t you claim that
a victim of chronic constipation has
only to neglect his bowels for Eve
days. 20. s. Al
Answer-Send ten cents coin and
1-cent stamped envelope bearing
your address, ask for booklet THE
Constipation Habit and Colon Hy-
giene."
Wisdom Teeth
I am is and the dentist says I
have four wisdom teeth coming in.
They have not caused any trouble so
far. vii lthey? Why are they called
wisdom teeth? (Miss T. R.)
Answer-No. they usually do not
cause trouble. The third or last
rnolars are called wisdom" teeth
because they are not cut until the
individual is from Is to Is years old
the age Of wisdom. Fifty per cent
of adults of mature age have only
one, two, or three wisdom teeth
never cut them all.

STATE GIVES
CO. SIGNAL ON
MICH. PROJECT
High Court Puts OK. On
$32,OOO,O00 Housing
Unit For Detroit

DETROIT, Jan. 5 - The
s32, 900, building program
which the Detroit Housing
Commission has held in abey-
ance pending the decision Of
the state supreme court, will be
speeded up now that the decision
has been rendered in favor OF the
commission.
The program. which will put
thousands OF men to work and pro-
vide modern homes for more than
$500 low-income families, will be
financed chiefly by s3OO0OO,OOO ear
marked Federal funds. The re-
mainder will be raised through the
sale by the city of revenue bonds.
Z Included in the building program
which will be launched immedi-
ately, according to Detroit Housing
Commission officials. are the three
additions to the Brewster Project,
one Of the two projects designed
and built by the Federal Govern
ment and turned over to the Detroi.
Housing Commission.
One OF these additions has Just
been completed on land which the
Federal Government had acquired
and tenants are moving into it this
week. 1t costs s64O.000.
The proposed second addition is
the one involving the Supreme
Court case that was decided last
Tuesday. This will provide homes
for 90 families at cost Of $500, 900
and will increase Brewster's total
capacity to GAL families.
The third addition to Brewster
homes is to be a sizeable project
to be constructed on six and one
half blocks north Of Adelaide street
between Beaubien and Hastings
streets. 1t will cost an estimated
1916. 900 and will contain 500
dwelling units.
When this project is completed,
Brewster Homes, located in the
center of what the Detroit Housing
Commission considers the center
OF the East side slum area, will have
accommodation for l.443 families.
While the various legal disputes
raised several technical points, the
entire program hinged on the Brew
ster addition condemnation suit
because it was in this case that
the constitutionality- of the State
Housing Act was brought to issue.
For this reason, housing officials
here had been more or less marking
time pending the supreme courts
ruling.
