She typifies hum-bug and a scam

great many physicians, specialists
and dental practitioners. Perhaps
the best way to protect the public is

pose Of this column in all circum-
stances.
This young woman suffered one
"cold" after another, as her busy
employer called 1t. Through most OF
these attacks she managed to remair,
at work. Part Of her work was apply
ing indictments to the Threats OF
certain patients, under the special
lists direction. Oddly enough, when
the young woman suffered an attack
rather more severe than usual she
consulted her family physician.
The family doctor donned his mask
and headlamp and carefully exam
ined the patients throat. He found
some suspicious spots, took a Gull
ture. discovered she had streptococ-
Gus throat-septic sore throat. That's
as far as we need go with the case

Clarifying
Yourself
BY Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer


Exercise is the answer to the
problem of how to keep arms,
and fingers not only supple, but
quite slender.
So says Madga Tagliafero, famous
French pianist who is making her
first concert tour in this country.
Certainly no one should be better
equipped to speak authoritatively on
care of hands and arms than a
pianist.
PRETEND YOU'RE
PUTTING ON GLOVES
"a simple, but effective, daily
routine for keeping the hands and
arms youthfully supple and quite
slender includes set of exercises"
says Nine. Tagliafero. Here are her
directions for doing them:
Place elbows on medium-height
table relax wrists and let forearms
drop forward. Repeat thirty times.
This develops f1exibility and loosens
the arm muscles.
Resting elbows on the table, relax
fingers of the left hand. Now, using
right hand, ease the relaxed fingers
of the left into a tight, imaginary
glove. In other words, massage each
finger of the left hand with down.
ward strokes-from fingertips to
palm. Reverse, making left hand
pull an imaginary glove onto the
right.
IF the pulling-on-glove exercise
seems too easy" warns Nine. Tag
liafero, "just remember that this
exercise does absolutely no good at
all unless there is real pressure be-
hind he mssaging motions
THE BENDS" AND
THE "STRETCH"
The second hand routine is the
bend" Keeping elbows on the
table, push palm and fingers OF the
left hand back away from the wrist.
Reverse, bending backward fingers
and palm of right hand.
The final exercise is the stretch"
Press the thumb firmly on the edge
of a table, then stretch the index
finger far backward. Now press the
index finger against the table and
stretch the third finger backward.
Keep on until each finger has been
thoroughly stretched. Do the same
with fingers of the other hand.
