Etiquette in Wartime
Bv Emily Post

Every innately polite person in
stinctively turns to help whoever is
with her take off her coat or put 1t
on, in church or in the theater or
otherwhere. The idea that any one
could have considered such behavior
unkind would never have occurred
to me until receiving the following
letter: 'Is it improper to help older
people, when I am not a young per-
son myself, and when they are not
crippled or tottering? I sometimes
wonder whether it puts them into
an older class than perhaps the
typical hale and hearty older person
of today likes being pushed?"
To this I can only repeat that
while older persons might resent
your making too much ado about
helping them, the ordinary gestures
OF assisting them with their coats
or handing them something that is
nearer to you than to them, Is done
by all OF us quite apart from any

Dear Mrs. Post: We have two sons
who are married and living out Of
town. When writing to the boys I
refer to their father as Dad" be-
cause that is what they call him.
However, when writing to the
daughters-in-law, am at loss to
know how to refer to my husband.
Will you advise me?
Answer-Refer to him by whatever
name they call him. That is, if they
also call him Dad" refer to him by
this same name. OF course, if they
call him Mr.. Jones. you would have
to refer to him either as Johns
Cor Jim's) father" or possibly your
father-inlaw," which last is very
stiff! But you can't say my hus-
band" to your daughter -in-law and
you certainly can't call him Mr..
Jones-so it is to be hoped that they
call him Dad"

STARCHING DARK CLOTHES.
(Thanks to Mrs. F. L. A., Fnirtdr.)
In answer to the lady who asked
about starching dark clothes. A
small amount Of coffee added to the
starch keeps the clothes from show
ing white. Also, If you sprinkle
clothes with warm or hot water they
iron better, especially If you iron
them soon after sprinkling.
Another ironing hint: I cream my
face before I start to press: the
steam and warmth help the cream
penetrate the skin.

OSTRICH FEATHERS;

I haven't seen any answer to the
request for the method of cleaning
and curling ostrich feathers. Have
never tried cleaning them, but pre-
sumo any commercial dry-cleaning
fluid would do. However, I have
seen my mother curl the feathers by
using a paper knife with rounded
edge. She would catch a strand
about inches from the end between
her thumb and the edge of paper
knife and gently draw the feather
over the edge of the knife and it
would curl up beautifully.
Also wish to suggest an easier
method of measuring shortening ipr
baking than any I have seen men,
toned here. I use a A-cup scoop
such as is used for dipping out sugar,
etc. Simply dip into shortening and
scrape off excess with knife, as many
times as needed.
Could some one suggest a way Of
refreshing draperies which have be-
come faded? They had rose -colored
flowers and green leaves on cream
background. I tried dipping them in
rose dye, but they came out ter
rible color and the leaves show
dimly. Have thought of using dye
remover, but hesitate to attempt 1t
with such a quantity of material. 1t

some shade of yellow.

Bill for the Development and Con-
troll OF Atomic Energy with its
counterpart in the House OF Repre-

only because It gives the govern

facture but even more because II
reduces research, study, expert
mentation TO an instrument of Of
flcial decision and purpose and sets
I'D penalties which place paralyzing
impediments upon the pursuit of
scientific truth. In spite OF the In
structions in the bill TO the Atom

ic research in universities, the pen
atty for doing so is prohibitively
high. and any professor in his

Your Health
Glandular
Fever Reduces
Body's Resistance


By HERMAN NJ. BUNDEsEN NJ. \
THERE are a number Of serious
disorders which affect the lymph
glands throughout the body. These
glands aid in combating infections.
There is, however, a more or less
harmless or benign. condition
known as infectious mononucleosis
which also affects the lymph
glands in the body. This disease is
also called glandular fever.
II is a disorder which comes on
suddenly, producing many symp-
toms such as fever, sore throat, en-
largement Of the lymph glands. the
spleen and the liver. and an in
crease in the number Of white cells
in the blood known as lymphocytes.
Cause Unknown
The exact cause of this condi-
tion is not known. However, there
are some who suspect that II may
be due to an infection with such
germs as the streptococeus, sta
phyloeoeeus or perhaps q virus,
that Is, an organism so small that
it will pass through the openings
in a porcelain filter.
The disease may occur at any
time Of life, but most of those az
fected are either children or young
adults. Men seem to have the con-
dition more often than women. The
diseaae seems to be more prevalent
in the springtime.
Several Types
Several types of infectious mUno-
nucleosis have been described. In
one type, the lymph gland enlarge
ment is the most noticeable symp-
tom. In the second type, sore throat
and fever are outstanding. In the
third type there is fever, headache,
q feeling Of sickness and a ski"
rash. The disorder may be mild or
severe. Sometimes it may persist
for weeks or months.
In some instances, there may be
stiff neck. diarrhea, pains in the
joints, nosebleed, itching Of the
skin and earache. In two out OF
three patients, enlargement OF the
spleen can be detected.
Paul Bunnell Test
There Is q test known as the
Paul-Bunnell reaction, which may
be carried out to aid in making q
diagnosis. The test is made y mix
ing the blood cells from sheep with
the blood serum from patients sus-
pected of having infectious mono
nucleosis. IL the disease is present,
the blood serum will cause the red
cells to form into clumps.
Up to the present time no par
ticular type Of treatment for in
fectious mononucleosis has been
discovered which will speed recov-
cry. On the other hand, the disease
IS rarely, il ever, a dangerous one,
but knowledge of it is important
because Of the likelihood Of con-
fusing 1t with other more serious
conditions.
