WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lowman


The best gymnastics you can give
your teeth is to provide them with
some hard foods rather than the
soft mash Of civilization. Raw
vegetables and fruits and hard
bread are as necessary to their
health and attractiveness as figure
moulding exercise is to woman's!
After cleaning the teeth you
should use the brush to massage the
gums. Place the fiat side of the
brush against the gums, bristles
pointing up when used on the lower
gums and down when used on the
upper gums. Hold the brush in
place and vibrate it against the
gums
Chewing gum has it's place as a
form of tooth exercise. According to
DR. Simpson, whom I quoted earlier
this week, when chewing gum the
exposed surfaces of the teeth are
partially cleaned, the attachment of
the teeth is strengthened, the gums
are maSSaged and the jaw muscles
are exercised. In moderation, all
of these effects are beneficial. Since
the action is related to the process
of digestion, If the gum is chewed
1t should be done soon after eating
Chewing gum stimulates the flow
of saliva and the digestive juices OF
the stomach.

Is the most precious jewel that a
wife can have. and she may well
weep her heart out If death
snatches him from her, but why
shed any tears over losing a bit of
pinchback jewelry? You can get
its duplicate on any bargain coun-
ter. Why not admit to yourself that
a philandering husband is no prize
package, and that it is a relief not
to be tortured any more by jealousy
of younger and prettier women, and
not to have to lie awake at nights
wondering where your wandering
boy is disporting himself?
And certainly it is scream to
think of anybody committing sui
eide rather than face the criticisms
of relatives and friends. My dear,
if we all grabbed for the rough on
rats eveH time our family and
acquaintances eossipped about us,
the cemeteries wouldn't hold us.
Everybody does it, and you will only
add spice to the tale Of how your

keep in stock. In either case, re-
member a little goes long way!
In the bulb onions you will find
a number in local markets. The
white ones are the mildest, yellow
next in strength and the red the
most powerful. They come In all
"nationalities," Bermuda, Italian,
Spanish and Texan, and can be
used in so many ways that there
wouldn't be anywhere near enough
space to list them. Usually the
Bermuda and Spanish can be eaten
raw. as we'll as cooked, and may be
used in salads and sandwiches with
good results. The strongest types
are best cooked and used as vege-
tables. or edible garnishes, boiled,
friend or baked. Silver skin onions
are good for picking, as are the
tiny pearl varieties, too. These
papery- skinned onions are. Of course,
the ones to choose for storing over
any length of time.
Scallions are simply young white
onions which are pulled before
true bulb has formed at the base.
Usually they are especially grown
for punching and eating green
although they may be cooked, with a
section of the tops left on. Cooked,
they are mild in f1avor-raw, they
tend to be pretty powerful.
Although in many cases in this
country, the shallot, or eschallot,
is misnamed scallion, 1t is an en-
tirely different type of plant. 1t
far more resembles garlic, in that
it grows in Glove form, in separate
sections of the parent bulb. These
cloves are used as are those of garlic.
fresh or dried, for seasoning. The
shallot is much milder than most of
the onion tribe, and when the very
young plants are pulled, with the
green tops, they may be eaten raw
like scallions. Shallots are noted
for their distinctive grayish color,
and have always been more popular
in Europe than in this country, eX-
cept in the sections where Creole
cooking demands their use.
Leeks, too, are very mild, but more
hardy than many of the onion fam
lily. Both the rather soft bulb and
the leaves are used in cooking. AS
a rule leeks do not show much
rounded form at the bulb end. LeekS
are necessary ingredient of the
famous cold soup. Vichyssoise: are
delicious when cooked in salted wa
ter until tender, drained, chilled and
served with French dressing in place
of salad, or they may be cooked
and seasoned with butter and salt
like other onions. They are rarely
eaten raw.
Onions in general. are a good
source of vitamins B, c and G., pro-
tein, carbohydrate. calcium, phos-
phorus and iron.

I should not do so.

Understand
Phases of
Disease
Intelligence and
Courage Needed
By Parents
By Leffice Lee Street,

Poliomyelitis, generally known as
infantile paralysis. is a name which
strikes terror to the hearts Of par
ents and members Of the medical
profession as we'll. AS yet very lit
tie Is known about this cruel dis
ease that so trasically attacks the
young.
1t occurs usually during the warm
months and at times assumes the
proportions of an epidemic.
No one knows how the virus en-
ters the body. so the best that
parents can do to prevent their
children from picking it up Is to
avoid populous places such as
movies. swimming pools, the closely
crowded sections of bea ches. trains
and so on when there are cases of
infantile paralysis in their area.
However. 1t is tragically true
that individual cases may appear
without any evidence of an exist
ing focus in the vicinity.
The disease is often ushered in
as an upper respiratory infection,
such as cold, and its later mani
festations are evidenced by weak
ness in one or more muscles or
muscle groups.
1t is at least heartening to know
that only limited number of cases
progress to the paralysis stage. This
explains the widespread immunity
to the disease that is found among
| adults. Mild attacks provide the de-
sired immunity. and children have
even had it without their parents
realizing the truth.
Infantile paralysis is caused by
small organism classified as fl
terable virus. This lodges in cer-
tain cells of the spinal cord, cells
which control the nerves that die
tate the motions of muscles. II
these cells are once really destroyed
the function of the nerve never re-
turns, and the result is that the
part of the muscle controlled by that
particular nerver fiber IS paralyzed.
1t is becoming more and more
evident that the virus does not en-
ter the body through the mucous
membranes of the mouth and nose.
Consequently, the methods suggest
ed to prevent absorption from these
areas are unavailing. Many we'll
informed doctors are inclining to-
wards the theory that the virus
is absorbed through the intestinal
tract.
1t is comforting to know that
great deal of time. money and the
attention of brilliant minds are be-
ing given to searching for the cause
and cure Of this dreadful childhood
disease. In time it will surely be
found.
Treatment of the condition should
be turned over at once to a physi-
clan. Parents should realize that
cases vary and that what is true Of
one child will not be SO of another.
They should also know that there
Is no one form of treatment that
can be depended upon in all in
stances.
A properly fed child is better
able to resist the onslaught Of
disease than one whose diet lacks
the essential foods for good
health. We have prepared

Dear Miss Nowell-Storing things
in my attic this week noticed that
the attic floor Is powdery and crum-
bly, in several spots. Is this any
thing important? 1t looked as
though it was rotting out, but it is
certainly not damp, nor have we
seen any sign Of insects which might
be causing it. T. P.
Answer-From your meager de-
scription 1t seems as though this
must be dry rot. This is a disease
which is usually started by damp
ness and spreads like measles to all
the healthy wood near by. 1t may
be that there are pipes under the
floor which condense moisture at
certain seasons of the year and thus
start the infection. The only thing
to do Is to take all the infected
lumber out Immediately, replacing 1t
with new. In so doing try to find
the cause of the difflculty.

very nice old. pieces of pine and
maple for the living rooms and din
