QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
w. r.: What is the cause Of
Bursitis? What treatment do you
advise?
Answer: Bursitis is the inflam-
nation of a bursa, the lubiicating
sac around joint. 1t may be any
joint, but commonly the shoulder.
knee, elbow or ankle. Heat and
time will relieve nearly all cases.
b. p: Does a pain in the chest
always mean angina pectoris? If
not, what are some other reasons
that will bring about this condi-
ton? Will constant worry about
ones self and neurasthenia bring
on this condition?
Answer: I should say that pain
in the chest is something else
many times more often than it is
angina pectoris. Worry, nervous
conditions, hearing about someone
else who had angina, tobacco, en-
ertion, pericarditis, slipping rib,
pleurlsy, are all among the causes.

"pimples"-"acne vulgaris." tho
vulgar acne, or the common acne.
Common 1t is. An estimate puts
the number Of adolescent boys or
girls who have some form of il Mt
10 per cent-including greasy skin
and blackheads. A severe case is
torture for the owner. An old
man can stand an acne rosacca-
red dubious nose and all-but for
Kid just starting the primrose
path to have the face covered with
pinples, that is manifestly unfair.
1t must seem to such a victim
that it should be very easy to
cure. All you have to do is get rid
of the pimples and keep the grease
or the skin and express the black
heads. But as experience teaches
IN the severe cases, this is by no
means easy.
Treatments Suggested
The treatments that have been
suggested are: ~ local treatment
or the skin--degreasing and anti
septic lotions, (2) endocrine prep
arations, (3) vitamins and liver
extract, (H X-ray, (5) vaccines
and (6) diet.
The reason for using any of
these is fairly obvious. 1t is a
condition confined to one locality
OF the skin, therefore local treat
ment is indicated. 1t occurs at
puberty when all the endocrines
should be in a lather of activity,
but some of them may fall behind:
therefore supplement them. 1t is
a sluggish infection, therefore
vacclnes can be used to stimulate
1t. The X,ray kills infection.
The rationale for vitamins and
diet is a little different. Cases are
improved sometimes by the use of
ultraviolet light. Since ultra
violet activities ergosterol in the
skin and ergosterol is a prcvita-
min, the treatment is equivalent
to the administration of vitamin
ID. Improvement has been reported
by several dermatologists on this
treatment.
Sutton's Diet
Under diet the old restrictions
used to be on cutting down of the
carbohydrates - candy-forbidden
regime. This, however, has proved
quite valuelcss. Some patients

Conversion of equipment from use of oil to coal by residential users. Is expected to save one and Q half million gallons of oil in Wa terbury, according to an estimate by Fred A. Webb, oil ration administra- tor. Small conversions are expected to total a half million gallons sav- ing.
 WIPE representatives visited the city this week to study the city's conversion undertaking, MT. Webb stated, and reported satisfaction with the program.
 At least 100000 gallons have been saved since Jan. through conver- sion by consumers who use less than 10000 gallons annually. the admin istrator said. Conversion by large pyocessors, including plants. is ac- credited for at least a million gal- Ions in the saving.

Plan Refresher Course In Typing, Stenography
Married Women May Obtain Instructions to Return
 to Former Clerical Positions; Govt. Supports It

If you are @ married woman with a commercial school background but have not had for years an op- portunity to practice typewriting and Stenography, here is Q splendid chance for you to refresh your memory on these subjects. The federal government, being fully aware of the numerous rec quests for secretarial workers sent to the ofiice of the United States Employment Service by local and state industrial plants and business houses, has asked the school au- thorities in the various cities to institute afternoon courses in type- writing and stenography. Such re- fresher courses will be conducted at the Wilby high school if Q suf- fcient number of applicants are registered.
 Greater Efficiency
 It may be possible that some business concerns and industrial plants in order to obtain greater efficiency from their clerical forces may wish to send some of their of- flee help to these clinics one or two afternoons each week and keep them on the payroll for the time devoted to such instruction. This procedure has been followed for a number of years by many of our factories in the training of young men for the machinist's trade.
 Further information about these courses may be had by commuIli- eating with pr. John G. Gilnaartin, assistant superintendent of schools or the United States Employment once.

 Q. Qualifications of trainees-En- rollment in War Training Courses or classes in Business Education will be restricted to
 those who have the following qualifications: -t d) Sixteen years of age or over (O Not regularly enrolled in the
 school
 (0 Able to profit by the in-

 (E Possess the characteristics
 required TOT the type or Work
 for which training is offered. b. Character of Training The above course contemplates 200- hour course for persons who have already studied shorthand and typewriting and need to take "re- fresher" work. At the end of the course they should be able to write 80 words e minute in short hand and perhaps 70 words a minute in typing, as compared to the traditional 100 or 120 in shorthand and 50 or SO in typing. The shorthand schedule provides for 3 periods a day for l2 weeks. The same amount of time is devoted to typewriting and transcription. As the course advances, the typing period will become a transcription period.
