If Susie's teeth are crooked at twelve, the town marks her up as homely, and no matter what she makes of herself and her looks later on, the best she can expect to have said about her Is "Well, Susie does pretty well with what she had to start with. She was such homely girl"
 NEVER OUTGROWS
 HIS FAMILY
 And Joe never outgrows his faln- fly, "good, honest people, but not much get-up- -and-get. Always just barely managing to get by." When you're young and eager to show the world how good you are, it's terrible to be held down to the picture the nome town folks have of you. It Is seldom Q flattering picture.
 The home towns of America don't have much respect for the "poor but honest" They aren't always the wholesome sort of places that writers love to paint.
 They can be snobbish - and they can hold down their young people to what their fathers were before them. If Q bright boy or girl wants to rise above his far1- fly, he may have to get away from his home town. '
 So national defense is giving the boys and girls of the small towns Q break. It is giving them their chance to get out and make good. It Is one bright side of Q dark situation. r.l

Fresh eggs are bountiful and one l6f the best buys on the market Because they are good body builders gWith efficient protein in their yolks and whites. The yolks are especially |Kich t, iron-the mineral that helps to form red blood cells. They are an important source of calcium, another mineral that's likely to be ! low in many diets.
 Eggs are also a rich source of tphosphorus and are good source | of riboflavia tvitamin O. For good measure, other vitamiils are al- I.ways present-vitamins A and D varying in amounts depending on what the hen had to eat.

SPONTANEOUS CURE OF
 HERNIA

A reader sends this report of his experience with hernia (rupture, breach):
 While in Alaska I ruptured rny- self rather badly and at the time my Mother was sending me your articles which included occasional talks a. bout hernia and the arnbulent treat- ment. Naturally these articles were very valuable to me and saved them all. N
 Later I returned to (rniddie west ern city) and asked for .hospitalisa- ton in the local Veterans facility. There they pronounced my hernia as severe and entered me for oper- ation. But the doctor in Alaska had advised against spinal anesthesia, which was the method the hospital doctor would use for my operation SO I feared to report for the opera ton. I procured Q truss that seemed to hold the hernia In place.
 I wore the truss about three years and the rupture never came down. Previously 1t had been impossible to keep 1t reduced.
 own 0 number of rental proper. ties and do my own repairs, which automatically takes care of the movements which believe you re- commend as exercise to prevent or possibly cure hernia.
 Recently after three years the truss broke and did not notice 1t until late in the day. Then I par tially repaired the truss, purposely letting 1t remain somewhat loose. Then about four months ago I de-. cided to go one Sunday without 1t, and have never used 1t since. I do some heavy lifting as required In carpentering and I often lift Q hun. dred pound sack without trouble. The only time I take care is when straining then I hold my fist firmly on the place where the truss pad formerly pressed.
 I thought my experience might be of some interest to you. I am 62, weigh about lS5, height five feet seven inches.
 It interests me for two reasons. First, because it is 6 fair example of spontaneous healing of hernia-- but remember, the hernia was of recent occurrence, and hernia is el- ways more likely to heal if 1t has not been of long standing. Second, because my loud shouting about the superiority of the anbulant treatment over radical surgery evil dently didn't make much of an inl- precision on the readers mind. He would have submitted to the radical operation had 1t not been for his no- ton about aYlesthesia.
 Any hernia (rupture, breach) in child or adult, has better chance to heal spontaneously If properly supported so that 1t never comes down or bulges. <. The exercises I recommend to aid spontaneous healing are described in the monograph Hernia" which l am glad to send to any one who asks for 1t and incloses 8 stamped envelope bearing his address.
