 An Old Ensemble

Don't be downcast if the budget won't stand a glittering new gown for holiday parties. A chic coiure tricked up with sparkly ornaments will give a festive air to an old en- semble.
 Dorothy Lamour shows here how set of evening combs can give new interest to a familiar hair-do Us- ing a dozen or so silver back combs, she tucks them in her sleekly brushed hair in symmetrical rows from the crown of her head to the nape of her neck.
 A variation of this effect can be had by taking ordinary combs and sewing on tiny fresh or artificial flowers, or gluing rows of sequins across the top of the combs.
 Or try sleek page boy arrange ment with the ends gathered into a Sequin-Spangled snood.
 The, soft curls of a feather bob are ready for formal revelry when capped with sparkling paillettes or studded with jeweled clips. For piquance, comb hair into bangs or a soft inverted pompadour, catch up the sides, and nestle a deep red rose behind each ear.

THE REDUCTIONS OF
 SEDATIVES

Every day the mail brings ap- peals from people who hope I will suggest a sedatiye to suit their re- quirementS or at least give them my assurance that the sedative they are contemplating or already in the habit of using occasionally is safe.
 No can do.
 You see, folks, there is no such sedative.
 Even the mildeSt or least danger ous drug or drugs in that class IS reasonably safe only in the hands of your own physician.
 A nerve sedative or even hypnotic (sleep producing medi- clnes or drugs But the use of such drugs or medicines by any one other than a physician is an evil of which the American people and the venal Uncle Sam should be ashamed.
 To the individual who thinks he or she needs sedative l say this: Don't take the first dose of such medicine on your own responsibll- ity. If you do, you may never come back. I do not mean that the single dose will necessarily prove fatal. l mean that once you have weakened enough to take one dose, you will resort to the drug the more readily the next time the occasion or temp tation arises And evene Ii single indulgence does no serious damage, it is foolhardy to imagine you can indulge repeatedly with impunity.
 hope no one will sniff at this as an attempt to exaggerate the dang CT of self-medication with such drugs. I recall the case of, believe it or not, my friend the druggist, who should have known better but didn't. He felt off his feed one eve ming and took few doses of a nos trum that benumbs sense of pain or distress, settles" stomach, "quiets" the nervousness-come to think of it, the nostrum (disguiShed acetanilide) worked four ways in this instance, for it stopped the druggists breathing along toward midnight.
 Even is so-called nerve SedatlVeS were safe to take at all on your own responsibility or for just a few ! weeks or months with the approval of a complaint physician, there is still this fact which we cannot lose sight of-that TO medicine of the sedative class, from bromide to bar biturate, has any definite remedial value in illness or weakness or strain or run down condition or overwork. To compromise with this fact is to invite invalidism, neuro- tic invalidism. Aside from the di- rect injury any such drug or medi- cine is likely to work upon blood, heart or other organs or tissues, there is the indirect injury the patient suffers from resorting to se- datives-while so temporizing noth- ing is done in the effort to find out what ails the patient and to cor rect, remove or at least treat the actual trouble.

a plan of making no charge for blood
IN the hospitals where two donations
have been made for every unit
transfused. But we fear that every
body might then repay us in blood
and we would have no cash income
to pay for the clinic and laboratory
expenses of tapping and processing
the blood.
I'VE will work it out. At any rate
we have taken steps to insure that
no one in Washington will ever lack
blood for transfusions. That stands
whether or not the patient has
money. If the family is unable to
pay for the blood we accept the
physicians statement to that effect
and there is no charge.
And we are going to have none
of these situations that sometimes
have been noted in the press of
patients who need unusually large
amounts of blood getting so much
in debt to the blood bank that hos
pital authorities consider the. pos
sible necessity of shutting off the
life-sustaining transfusions.
We had one patient in George
town Hospital getting seven to eight
transfusions a day. We gave the
doctor in charge assurances that he
could go ahead and prescribe all the
blood he felt necessary. The patient
finally died-but not because of lack
of blood transfusions.

That the Metropolitan police should
