night, slap you around q bit.

you out on the lawn and kick
you around in the freezing dew

insulted-unless you were going
to college. Then, you'd know
you were being tapped for some-
thing.
Tapping, especially I'm the
male honor societies, is always
done in an extremely rough
fashion, somewhat along these
lines, and the actual limitations
are just about twice as bad.

ALL great inventions have
"A their drawbacks. One of

When il really gives trouble
in the open position, is when the
baby swallows it or sucks ii into
the throat.
An open safety pin In the
stomach, intestines or windpipe
is obviously a calamity.
But man, being an ingenious
animal, has been able to COM
pensate for this hazard of the
safety pin and surgeons have
developed instruments for re-
moving an open safety pin from
the trachea or gullet.
Infants of tender years are
the largest group Of patients
subject to the hazard of the
open safety pin in the throat.
TTIIS Is perfectly logical due
i to the almost universal use
of the safety pin in dressing
infants.

tions, mothers and nurses con-

Added to this is the bad ex.

mothers themselves in holding

hed0er, CndOOSIOrO, "a. Sdn
one safely 60 on milk diet?
That is. drink one quart of milk
each day only. How much
weight can be lost in a week if
one goes on such a diet?"
Answer: Milk is not a COM
plete food for an adult. Even
for children il has not enough
iron and Vitamins c and d.
There are about 400 10 500
calories in a quart of milk, de-
pendent upon the fat content
one-fifth of what an adult needs.
It is perfectly safe to go on
this for n week, however, and il
might be calculated that one
would lose about a pound a day
if overweight.
w. r.: What would cause a
hard sinew TO occur in the palm
of my hand?
Answer: The condition is
known as Dupuytren's Contrac-
ture. The exact cause is un-
known. but il occurs TO people
who work with instruments like
hammers, golf clubs, hoes, rakes,
etc.
II is not serious. although it
may lead 10 an annoying de-
fornity. When the condition
occurs. surgical operation
has been devised which will
relieve il
