No time for charm nowadays? "Order your household, your social activities, your private and public work" advises Margaret Speaks, and she demonstrates. The distinguished soprano of concert and radio has added dozens of appearances at Red Gross benefits and soldiers canteens to her professional schedule-yet she still counts the laundry and puts 1t away in her two homes, and she still keeps an appointment with the hairdresser as If he were a maestro.

CHRONIC ARTHRITIS

CHRONIC ARTHRITTS
 By the massive dose vitamin D treatment for Chronic Arthritis ] mean taking 10000 units of vita min D every day for several months; If no improvement is evi. dent after a month or six weeks, the dose should be booped to ESQ., 900 or 3oo,000 units dailyy for the next month or two, etc.-further details in the pamphlet "Arthritis' available on request if you provide a three-cent stamped envelope bear ing your address.
 The vitamin D treatment is not a specific cure or anything like it. inded 1t seems to give no positive results in nearly third of the cases in which 1t is tried, although I fear a good many of these failures are due to the use of too small doses for too limited period. It is fool- iSh to try the vitamin D treatment at all unless you take the full daily dose every day for at least two months.
 Compared with other treatments, notably glandular therapy. injec- tions of gold salts. vaccine therapy, dietotherapy. diathermy, baths, Sul- fur injections. etc., massive dose or high potency vitamin D treatment appears to be effective in . Sub- stantial number of cases. One diff1. culty for some patients IS the cost about 30 cents a day when 100000 units is the daily dose. But many invalids who receive "shots'-Sub- cutaneouS, intramuscular or intra- venous injections of serum, vaccine. medicine of one kind or another pay five or ten times as much and with no more assurance of getting any benefit, not to mention cure.
 In the practice of physicians who have had much experience with the of chronic arthritis 1t is now cus- massive dose vitamin D treatment tomary to combine an optinal daily ration of vitamin B complex in one form or another with the D treat ment-that is, to make sure the patient gets several times the amount of B complex required to prevent manifestations of deficiency disease. Aside from the improve ment of general nutrition the B complex probably prevfients or off- sets untoward or toxic" effects which these large doses of D some. times have-losS of appetite, nau- sea, vomiting, increased thirst, poly uria 0ncreased qunantity of urine), and sometimes albuminuria. In most cases no such untoward symp- toms occur. but instead there is in- creased sense of well being, more pep" less indigestion"

year-old resident OF the Phyllis
Wheatley Home in this city, has

lows:
Preface
ITO The People and The Young
Generation OF America:
1T is my desire to try to explain
TO each and everyone the philoso-
ply OF my life. AS have grown old
in years, thought to myself, why
not pass my experience and a little
knowledge TO the next generation?
Il believe / have built a bridge
which will help. the youth who must
20 through some conflict, as they
must follow in someone's footsteps.
i hope some expression, some
thoughts In these pages may make
som person stronger, more noble
and more kind. May Il cause some
faith never TO be violated, some
heart never TO be corrupted, and
some brave man or woman never TO
be crushed. May il cause pride, con-
tempt. defiance, stubbornness, la
mentation 10 be overcome. May IL
cause some person TO be fired with
a poetic soul. This little book, may
find someone on dark ocean, with
out shore or lighthouse and the
influence OF one expression might
lead the way out to the light OF
civilization and service. and spare
someone from bitterness and sharp
passions In unguarded moments.
May II prevent someone from judy
ing others, lest he be condemned
himself.
Though age and infirmity over
take you and you come only in sight
OF your dreams. may this booklet
still teach you to be thankful OF
life and grateful for times golden
memories, both good and sweet.
Even after we pass from this
earth, however, may we leave a
mark 80 that our name will live
on as a life-guard to all who read
II.
Before closing this preface,
wish TO express deep appreciation
and gratitude TO friend, who kind
ly wrote these experiences. as /
told them TO her.
And may they find real saints
to draw from
