A GOOD DASH OF sTRYcHNINE

A doctor enjoyed such a large practice that he was occasionally compelled to take week or two off for vacation and rest-and he could afford to do so. Tn his absence an- other doctor was summoned to at tend one of his patients. The pa tient had well advanced tuberculosis of the lung, with cavity, and no pre- cautions as to disposal of sputum or prevention of droplet or spray infec- tion of members of the family had been given the patient, The doctor was treating him for bronchial trouble" only.
 But the doctor was conSplcuously successful. People flocked to him not only because he was a pleasant per- son to meet but also because be was so successful, had such large prac- tice, hence must be good doctor.
 The doctor divulged one of the secrets of his fine trade. He always kept on hand large assortment of variously colored strychnine tablets or pills of various strengths, and gave nearly every patient who came to his office little box of the pills as sort of premium along with whatever other medicine he thought the patient needed. He had found that the additional box of pills, which cost him perhaps cent or two, brought 25 cents extra, with out protest about the bill. After ten or twelve years of practice the doc tor retired, worth over $100, 0,000-and he had not inherited $99 500 either.
 Shortly before he retired he had case of placenta previa. Never mind just what it means, but the patient had been suffering with hemorrhages for several days. He called another doctor in consulta- tion When the other doctor ar- rived he found the patient obviously in sta teof shock from hemorrhage and the family doctor feVerishly turning the pages of a standard textbook of obstetrics to find what he ought to do. The consultant diffi- dently suggested that immediate treatment seemed necessary, volun- taered to give the anesthetic. The doctor handled the delivery. Prs ently the anesthetist heard the doc tor explain to the patients husband: There, you see, that came first, but it should have come last"-he had delivered the placenta and left the child to fend for itself. Just then the patient expired, and that was the end of the incident.
 But he certainly was successful doctor, as success is populariy gaug2d.
 How many infants or young chil- dren in his families succumbed to strychnine poisoning is a matter for conjecture. Anything containing any strychnine at all ought to be clearly and unmistakably labelled POISON, with skull and crossbones complete.
 Callus SOftener
 Once you recommended some li- quid to soften callus. (F. R.)
 Answer-The standard corn rem sallcylated colodion-thirty grains of salicylic acid dissolved in one-half ounce flexible collodion. Paint corn, wart or callus once daily for a week or ten days-it will soften and may be wiped away. It is not cure for corn or callus, unless causative fric- tion and pressure ceases.

They can't unless he lets them know what he is learning and doing, what his life as a soldier is like. THEY'RE MIGHTY PROUD OF SOLDIER-SON

TRY EXERCISING TO INDUCE SLEEP

Relaxing exercise is indicated also. Lying in bed, raise both arms 8 bit and let your fingers go limp, then shake them vigorously. Then raise arms to shoulder level, let forearms go limp, and shake them in all directions. Now stand, out Of bed, arms loose and limp at your sides, and swing them to and fro. Next, sit on the edge of your bed, stretch out your feet, and rotate them loosely. Finally, let the head fall forward, let neck go limp, and rotate your head.
 Probably more pernicious a sleep wrecker than any other single fac- tor is disturbed or troublesome emo- tions-love, hate, fear, excitement, resentment, jealousy -. you know them, the ones you cannot quite figure out, much less know what to do about them.
 There's one simple thing to do about them-for temporary relief and sleeping, at least. It is to baby yourself bit Many women do this, and beneficially, by going though an elaborate ritual of beauty care not only the essential, sensible things like hair brushing, but the extras too, such as bubble baths, fiddling with possible new hairdos, locking over clothes for new ways to wear them.
 As a final flip, particularly after you've exercised, take some re1resn- ing liquid like good quality witch hazel and dash it Or spread 1t over your face, neck, or the whole body. It's pleasant, especially these hot nights. And you'll want a bowl Of ice cubes and cotton eye pads on your night table. Saturate the cot ton pads on the ice, then with the witch hazel, and place them over yOur eyes.

MAINTAIN REGULAR
 SLEEPING SCHEDULE

Of course, how much sleep you need nightly is something only you can say, for the need varies enor- mously from one person to the next even within any given age group. The point is, stick to your own schedule.
 There are other causes. Extreme physical or mental fatigue will keep you awake. To overcome either or both, try deliberately relaxing. Take something to read in bed (but here you have to learn by experience what kind of reading-whether a love poem or chiller- mystery or the newspaper). Or soak in warm tub for half hour. You might also make sure you aren't hungry-take turn at the icebox and see wheth- CT milk, or snack, doesn't seem at tractive.

It's an open secret among beauty experts that few things will take the bloom out of a ladys looks quicker than sleeplessness, and few actions will restore it and keep 1t fresh so efficiently as does enough good rest.
 So I would advise you, especially you who let mistaken notions of patriotism persuade you to nick into your sleep schedule for extra time at war activities, to get straigtht- ened out about rest. It is an ab- solute essential to health, and Uncle Sam is asking you, first of, to be healthy.

Married Men
May Be Drafted

New classification instructions
sent to Ohio's local draft boards
the past week by state draft
headquarters state that no man
who married after Dec. 8 1941,
will be given a 3-A deferment
unless "the status was aquired
under circumstances which were
beyond his control"
Any man of draft age who
seeks to continue a dependency
deferment, the regulations stat
ed, must present information
which convinces the local draft
board that the status was not
voluntarily acquired at a time
when his selection was imminent
or for the primary purpose of
providing him with a Glass ga
deferment.
Present regulations require
that any who acquired a depend
ency after Sept. 16, 194O-the
date the selective service act was
passed-must prove to the board
that he did not assume the de-
pendency to avoid military SER
vice.
