TONsILS AGAIN

A doctor who specializes in eye, ear, nose and throat advises me that the electric method is not for me as I have an arthritis condi- ton. He says that the electric method would force the poison from my tonsils into my system at each treatment. thus making the arthri- tis worse, and hence must have complete tonsillectomy in the hos pital. Miss F. M
 One thing your quaint all-around specialist" probably did not tell you is that the patient can walk home or back to his or her usual work or play after a diathermy (electro-coagulation) treatment and generally doesn't miss a meal dur ing the course of the treatment. After the old Spanish atrocity. however, there is always a chance that the late patient may ride back home in a beautiful container.
 It is precisely in such cases as yours, Madam, that the diathCrmy (electro-coagulation) m e t h cd of treating infected tonsils should be chosen. In the hands of a physici- an who has received technical in- struction from physician skilled | in the method-and that does not men every doctor who attempts electro-coagulation after a half hour of instruction by the sales man who sells the machine-tlIis modern humane treatment is less likely to force the poison from the tonsil into the blood" than is the crude guillotine and snare method. DSsecting. cutting, Snaring inevit- ably opens up lymph channels and capillary spaces through which germs on their toxins may be ab- sorbed into the blood stream. Elec- tro-coagulation sterilizeS and seals such fresh openings and hence tends to prevent or limit such forcing Of poison into the system.
 Your doctor, Madam, betrayed his ignorance or bias. Any doctor who so advises a patient today is ignor- ant or biased
 The mortality of surgical tonsil- lectomy is indeed so great that any doctor should hesitate to advise it in any circumstance - even when there is no alternative. But to con- demn the method as this benight- ed specialist" does is-well. l can't print what I think about it.
 Even if surgical tonsillectomy took no lives at all, there is preci- ous little real evidence of its value and this is not just my narrow view of the question, but a fair as- say of the consensus of medical opinion. If you are old enough you will remember that tonsillectomy was yeritable rage thirty or forty years ago. That was before the public received anything like a fair deal in health instruction. Not that l believe my own blah- -blah has had any great educational influence but it is significant that the more the people learn about health and illness the fewer operations, major operations for removal of tonsils, do the eager surgeons perform"

swings both legs and arms up to- gether, slowly lowering them back to starting position.
 Trick of the next exercise is to keep the shoulders flat on the floor while you do it. Lying on the floor, the knees are together and f1exed; soles of the feet flat on the floor and pulled up near the hips, hands on waist. Twist sharply at the waist and throw both legs to- gether to the right side until the right thigh touches the floor; pull up to starting position and swing over to the left side. Maybe ten times is enough at first, but later you'll work up to 50.

DEAR MARY HAWORTH: l have known a certain young woman for about 10 years, have seen her two or three times a week until recently and enjoy her company, as we have many common interests I have made it clear from the be- ginning that I am not in love with her and had no immediate inten- ton of marrying
 More than once I have urged her to see other men more, instead of wasting her time on me. Once, sev- eral years ago, she agreed we should stop seeing each other. So we went our separate ways and I made no attempt to get in touch with her. However, after six months she asked me to come back. saying she could mt be hapy that way, She wanted my company even though she knew I didn't love her.
 Possibly I should have stayed away as the best thing for her. But that seemed mean, in view Of her feelings; and I decided she was old enough to run her life without my advice. So we resumed association. A year ago moved to another city. I thought that would bring a solu- tion-either by convincing me that I do love her, or by forcing her to form other ties and so forget me. Neither has happened.
 l see her about once a month as business takes me there, and she IS sure as ever that there will never be anyone but me, She could easily at- tract other men if sine tried, for she is very attractive, well educat- ed of good family. successful in her business and looks about 25, al- though We are both past 35. still like her more than anyone else l know, but I am also quite sure l don't love her; at least, I don't miss her at all when we are apart.
 She should have given me up long ago; probably still should-as you have advised other wirls whose men don't propose But as she won't take that solution, what should l do? Should I marry her on the theory that it is only fair, after all these years? That would make her happy, temporarily at least, But if l don't

CHAPTER xxIv


 RICH old Mrs. Piggott had be- " come bored with Every Man being a priest, and for two years now Dr. Planish had been with the Blessed to Give Brotherhood. His salary there had been reasonably adjusted at $4,800 a year.
 The Blessed to Give was the de- partment store of philanthropic enterprises. It was interested in helping out fifty different charities. Often it worked through apparently rival associations, and it anhounced Whenever we see that somebody can do any given job better than We can, we do not hesitate to pass any contribution right on to them, with no charge for routing or bookkeep- ing"
 There were scurrilous and un- charitable enemies who charged that quite a little of the money stuck to the Blessed to Give mail chute in passing on.
 Dr. Planish didn't very much like his commander, Deacon Ernest Wheyfish, to whom Peony referred as "Soapy Ernie" but with him he had taken profound grad uate work in the professions of fund-raising and organization-exec- utivity.
 What we need today is to per- ceive that raising money, raising lots of money, not for one single second stopping in raising all the money we possibly can and then going beyond that and doing the impossible in money-raising - this is not, as some old-fashioned sem timentalists like to think, just a minor detail and bother in organi- rational work, but our first big duty, our very biggest one, first last and all the time.
 We all talk too much about the supposed purposes of organizations: how we feed so and so many chil- dren or help the victims of T. B. That work is glorious, that is near divine, and yet I want to tell you right here and now that our primary mission isn't to spend the money we collect, but to train people, all the people. to give, to give generously, to keep on giving not only to accom- plish charitable ends, but to expand their own miserable, narrow peanut souls by the divine habit of giving.
 That's our job. Don't reason with folks - get them into the habit of filling out pledge cards just as regularly as they brush their teeht, and make 'em feel guilty as hell if they fail to do either one!" TNHE Hon. Ernest Wheyfish, ex- | congressman, author of Make Them Pay While They Pray" was not a nice man, but he was an authority on Giving to Philanthro- pies. and an inspired diagnostician of Prospects. Let him take an or dinary sucker list and ne could, by innate genius, by an inner and spiritual nose, smell out the fact that this name was useless, but that other marked a man who could be encouraged to double his annual contribution.
 He stood four-square on the principle that, far from harvesting only the rich and middle class, we ought to look on the glorious majority of the poor as a philan- thropic field yet unplowed, but so fertile that the pioneer fund-raiser could only lift up his eyes in thanksgiving
 What really get my goat is the highly undemocratic belief that the mass of the people are so miserably shiftless and ornery

love her, wouldn't it really be un- fair to both of us in the long run and end badly? Or isn't love impor- tant at our age, if we agree on everything else? l am puzzled by the situation and would appreciate your comment. A. D.
 CompIacency Blinds Him DEAR: 4. D.: I think very marked degree of inter-dependency has already been established here and that your unconscious need Of the girls allegiance is matched only by your self-centered complacency Compassion is not a mans long suit in dealing with women, and you have consistently absorbed this girls homage because you want It. because nowhere else have you found anything comparable to it in comfort-giving Value-and not ID the least out of altruistic concern for her.
 Shakespeare says. Those friends thou hast, and their endurance tried, grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel" And at your age l doubt that you will ever find an- other woman who will give you as much contentment with freedom Of mind as she. Once decisively com mitted to the proposition Of being her married companion, l believe you might find yourself a happier man, both m your own heart and in relation to her, than you have ever been before.
 don think you should marry her from sense of duty. A less fortunate arrangement for botn could hardly be imagined, over the long haul. And as she has clung to the laissez-f faire arrangement from choice, you owe her only what your true feelings dictate. But the faet that you are beginning voluntarily to play with the idea of marrlge suggests to me that you ought to go ahead with it; and that you VIII profit in the long rup by it
 A man has not matured, and lh- deed is a stranger to the deepest satisfaetions life has to offer, unul he has undertaken the experience Of giving happiness to others-prefer- ably those who are loyal to him and are appropriate candidates for his unselfish consideration M, H,

BEAUTIES HINTS
By ALICIA HART NFA Staff Writer

When a favorite dress suddenly feels too tight around the waist, you can either let out the seams or take tuck in your waistline. In the long run, the beauty conscious wo- man will get rid of an extra inch now rather than continue making expensive dress alterations and wind up with a hour-sacx figure.
 But don't leap dizzily into dozens of exercises the first day, or you'll wake up stiff, sore and discouraged the next morning. Better begin in a small way and do two or three slow ly, but consistently.
 The beginner Sohuld start with this one-lie flat on the floor, arms at the side, raise the right leg straight up in the air and slowly lower it to the floor Alternate with the left leg for ten times.

STRAND

The old-ti.ne songs today's tunes-the musical battle of the ages is on again This time it is being fought out in the Sumptuous set tings of 20th Century-Fox's dazzling Technicolor musical, The Dolly Sisters" which stars Betty Grable, John Payne and June Haver, now at the Strand theater
 But Producer George Jessel has played it safe: not taking sides, he commissioned ace Hollywood tune smiths Mack Gordon and James Monaco to write two new songs to balance the host of old-time fa- vorites heard in the film based on the lives Of two fabulous sisters who set a world aflame with their songs and broke a million hearts along the way
 The Gordon Monaco songs, T Can't Begin to Tell You" and Don t Be Too Old Fashioned destined to crowd the top of the hit parade, will more than satisfy the most avid rug-cutters. The old-time favorites are among those made famous by the original Dolly Sisters, Jancsi and RosZicka. and include I'm Always Chasing Rain0ows,' Dark Town Strutters' Ball" The Side walks of New York" Give Me the Moonlight. Give Me the Girl, Car olina in the Morning" and The Vamp.
 Some Of the music is sung and danced by the dazzling Misses Gra- ble and HaVer who have 37 changes Of costumes apiece. Other numbers are sung by John Payne or by the bevy of dancing girls specially se- lected by Jessel for their beauty and singing and dancing ability.
 The companion feature is, The Fatal Witness, starring Evelyn An ker and Richard Frazer.

that they don't even want to join their betters in giving. tell you, I come from the commonest kind of common people, and I resent the imputation against the morale of this great class, and the un- professional incompetence that fails to see that here is not a negligible but the very most important source of fund-raising.
 "It's the deepest and richest mine in the country, and yet 1t hasn't hardly been prospected. Don't the Scriptures say, As a man thinketh, so he is? Well, if you'll get your thinking right, and on a higher plane, you'll realize that there's almost hundred and thirty million people in this far- flung land, and that, at a mere dollar apiece, means one-hundred- and-thirty million gold Simole- onsl"
 ERNEST WHEYFISH was the first L organizer to go right after the large corporations, which, to save their corporate souls and keep down income taxes, were now sending checks to philanthropies. As he him. self gaily said, NO one else put so much punch into selling the fat boys on the idea that we who tote the grievous load of raising funds should be taken as seriously in G,,oR,a;n1 other merchant" So it came to pass that corporation which employed two chemists, three industrial engi- neers, a Burmese explorer, an in- terperter, and press agent to reduce the cost of cable 800 .00O0l per yard, handed over large checks to Deacon WheyfiSh for dlstrlbu- tion as he pleased merely with the prayer that this offering to the tribal priesthood might, by some pious magic, propitiate the darX diabolic powers of the New Deal and the Congress.
 Wheyfish, little later, was one of the first to note that when the Government permitted fifteen per cent deduction from income taxes for charities, this really didn't mean that the taxpayer could give away fifteen per cent, but that he had to give it, and that Ernest Wheyfish was practically the Government official put there to receive it. His new Literature, prepared by pr. Planish, was starred and shining with refer ences to "l5 per cent - be gener- ous without it's costing anything, and hinted that if you didn't oo this. the Government would mere ly take it in taxes, anyway ana waste it on lot of worthless loalers' so that a gift to Wheyfish was prac- tically a social duty.
 "Sometimes I wonder fl ought to write that stuff. It seems almost against true charitableness' Or' Planish fretted to Peony.
