8tAUG1 GlOrifying Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service stan Writer

NEA SSENACC 0tAA WAASSN
 Not to bc outdone by other patriotic organizations and in- ddyiduals, a famous beauty salon now offers its own answer to the ubiuuitous question: But what can I do to help with the national de- fense prograIns2"
 on the premise that healthy women with strong arms and backs will be a great deal more useful in times of emergency and stress than delicate little flowers who gasp for breath when walking uphill and cannot lift anything heavier than a loaf of bread, the salon outlines Q program.
 It includes the- giving of exer- else, posture and health courses to teach women how to carry heavy bundles without getting tired; how to push heavily laden Aicycle or other vehicle; how to carry one end of 8 stretcl1er without straining the back or running the risk of an abdominal rupture.
 "The proper way to lift a heavy weight" the experts at the salon say, lis always to keep the knees bent slightly, the pelvis tucked under with the lower tip of the spine well forward and the ribs as high away from the nipbone as possible"
 HOW TO ESCAPE
 UNDUE STRAIN
 Keeping knees straight, they point out. arching the back and letting the lower tip of the spine stick out behind Is likely to result in undue strain on the back or, worse yet, a rupture.
 They go on to say that now is the time for every woman to begin do- ] ing exercises to strengthen the arms and pectoral muscles and those con- trolling the abdomen. Otherwise, she'll nexer be able to lift a pail of water or any other heavy object above her head. Before you scof at the idea of women ever having to carry heavy objects, read again anything you can find on what women in England have to do these days. .,
 "The only way to learn to walk miles without getting very tired is to begin right now-today-to walk at least two miles every day. At the end of the month, resolve to walk three miles a day" the salon ad- visers continue. "All walking should be done on flat heels, with weight cn the outside of the feet and toes pointed forward. Take big steps. And do not let the upper half of the body settle down into hip sockets. Keep chest high, stomach in, with lower ribs pulled and away from hips"
 You can push heavier load

occurred. The young men, who hap pened to be soldiers, were punished and the girls went right on play ing golf, as innocent of starting anything as any girls could be.
 That's coming quite a way from the days of the Boomer girls, when it was considered any mans right almost his duty--to let out cat- calls and make personal remarks at any woman seen wearing that unfeminine, revealing" form of dress called ploomers.
 MAY BE ON ROAD
 TO TRUE EQUALITY .
 It's sort of nice to look back and see just how far we've come on the long road to equality.
 Maybe in our own lifetime we will see the man branded as rude and a bore who makes fun of won- en's hats, says that's woman for you" about @ women driver or thinks that the fact that a woman Is pretty and is alone after dark gives him the right to try to pick her up.
 And that, girls, will be true equal ity-so far as the verdict of public opinion has anything to do with 1t,
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-07-29

without danger of straining yourself if you will keep knees slightly bent, base of spine tucked under and ceT1- ter of the back pushed out-back- as far as possible. When knees are straight and there is deep hollow in the middle of the backbone, you cannot push as heavy a load. And even the lighter load that you can push may cause you to strain your back to rupture the abdominal wall.
 If you want to learn to carry a pack on your back, get out the snapshots you took last year of your fishing guide, and study his posture. Notice that when he had a pack on his back there was ab- solutely no hollow in his backbone. He seemed to lean slightly for ward and the center of his back was pushed out and back until 1t touched the pack. He never seemed to get tired.
 And f you straighten out your own spinal column instead of go-

 Some psychologist say these nightmare images are symbols ot our baSer instincts struggling tc express themselves. By frankly recognizing these feelings, you are better able to deal with them.

DOCTORS ARE THE QUAINTEST
 PEOPLE

It is absurd and humlliating that so many physicians who presume to speak with more or less author ity still attempt to bolster up the old medical fallacy that medicines may be absorbed through the skin,
 In the past two or three years some half-baked laboratory experi- ments on animals have been given wide publicity. The experimenters assert that they applied numerous alkaliods which are commonly used in medicine, to the freshly shaved skin of rabbit or guinea pig and the drugs were promptly absorbed and produced their characteristic physiological effects.
 I can readily believe that strych- nine, cocaine, morphine, atropine or similar alkaliod would be ab- sorbed through a minute cut or de- nuded area produced by shaving such an animal. No doubt any of these drugs or poisons could be ab- sorbed through similar minute abraisons or scratches or cuts made by shaving the human skin.
 But insist, that no absorption of mercury occurs through the skin when mercury ointment ("blue oint- ment') is applied, either in treat ment of syphilis or as a parasiticide to destroy so-called crab lice (ped- iculus pubis). Furthermore, I chal- lenge these quaint doctors who 1m- agine things are absorbed through the unbroken skin to cite any rec ognized authority, that is, a physi- ologist, or an authority in therapeu- tics for that matter, who has the temerity to say that mercury ap- piled by inunction is absorbed through the skin. There were plenty of old timers who cherished that notion, but no modern scientific au- thority does. Even physicians who may still occasionally prescribe irl- unctions of mercury ointment in the treatment of syphilis have the grace to acknowledge that any sys- temic effect obtained from the Iner- cury so applied depends on volatil- zation of the mercury by friction and the heat of the body and inha- lation of the colatilized mercury. Recognizing this truth, and know ing how uncertain or variable the quantity of mercury so absorbed may be, modern physicians have practically discarded inunctions in the treatment of syphilis as inaccu- rate and unreliable.
 If what I say is not true, then here is a fine chance for the would be medical authorities of Yankee land to- show the public who is right. My skin is available for the test at any time. Let me have con- trol of the air I breathe and let them rub in all the mercury oint- ment they think necessary. If I ab- sorb any I'll tell the world I am not a trustworthy teacher.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
TrenCIa Mouth


 Tn the treatment of trench mouth does the silver nitrate applied to the gums have any bad effect upon the teeth? (Mrs. O. WO
 Answer-Better leave application of silver nitrate to your physician or dentist. Preferable for your own use. I think, is a paste made by moi$ening sodium perborate with water, applied to raw or sore spots once or twice daily with your fin ger, and allowed to remain in con- tact for a few minutes before wash ing the mouth. Solution of about a teaspoonful of sodium perborate in half glassful warm water makes a good mouth wash for use several times daily.
