WITH the coming Of cold
weather and its accompaniment
of acute throat infections, the
doctor is quite likely to or
der throat irrigations as a means
of applying heat directly to the
mucous membrane. This treat
ment removes accumulated Sec
retions, relieves congestion and
pain, reduces swelling and stim-
ulates the circulation.
You will need q fountain
syringe or an mitigating can with
tubing, and a glass connecting
tube with q blunt end, one or
two large basins, a bath towel
and \ rubber apron, or several
thicknesses of newspaper.
A salt solution, made by mix
ing one teasponful Of salt to one
pint of hot water Is used for the
irrigation. You should have
from one to two quarts Of solu-
tion, as hot as the patient can
stand 1t comfortably.
The material should be assem-
bled and the procedure explain
ed to the patient before the ir-
rigation Is started. Tell him to
breathe through his nose, and
not to swallow the solution, but
to lean forward and let 1t run
out of his mouth into the basin.
II permitted, have the patient
sit up in bed; II not, have him
lie on his side close to the edge
Of the bed. Protect the bed and
the front of the gown with a
rubber apron or several thick
nesses Of newspaper, topped by
q bath towel. Place q large basin
in his lap (or on q chair beside
the bed). Rub his chin thorough
ly with cold cream to prevent
chappins.
Hang the fountain syringe or
irrigating can filled with hot
salt solution 50 that il is q few
inches higher than the patients 3
head. The flow Of the solution
may be regulated by raising or
lowering the bag. Attach the
glass tube. which should have
been previously boiled for five
minutes, to the rubber tubing,
and insert 1t In the patients
mouth. Release the stopcock OF,
the rubber tube, and direct the
flow of solution to the affected
parts, first on one side, and then
on the other, unit at least q
quart of solution has been used
After the irrigation 10 finish
ed, dry the patients face, cover
him well and protect him from
drafts or exposure for some
time.

able or cashable bonds, avail
able for quick spending, grew
from a mere $81 100000, 900 20
the present $275,500, 900, 900 as
of last June 80.
When the war began there
was only S6,40O, 100000 of cur
rency lying around. On uneJ 80,
1945, there was $4,000, ,000, 900
in cash waiting to be spent.
SAVINGS INCREASE
At the end of 1899 there was
only S31,000,0O0, 900 in check
ing accounts, spendable by the
stroke of fountain pen. In mid
1945 Americans, exclusive OF
banking institutions, could write
checks for $72,500,O0O,00O with.
out overdrawing their accounts.
Savings accounts, subject to
swift withdrawal, jumped from
Sl5,300,000, 900 up to $27,1O0,-
100000 during the war.
Government obligations-held
by individuals most of them
cashable on demand-grew from
s28, 8,700,000 900 to $4,000, ,0O0,-
600.
individuals have "a billions of
cash in their pockets and their
safe deposit boxes; in tea can

Wage-earners and professional
people have 18 billions and
farmers have five billions n
checking accounts, obviously
held in instant readiness for use
as soon a. desired goods appear
IN automobile showrooms and
on store shelves.
individuals have 25 billions IN
savings accounts and 50 billions
in government securities, mostly
war bonds. Much of this prob
ably Is intended as long-term
savings. But much, also, was In

This "hot money" 10 counted
upon to start an industrial boom
as soon as q reconversion per-
mits; to make possible the en-
ployment of most Of our eager
workers; to finance the paying
OF record-high wage scales.
But, competing at auction for
a temporarily inadequate sup
ply of consumer goods, that same
finger burning money could
easily set up q cycle OF disastrous
initiation.
And the Treasury has one
more secret worry. What would
happen IL everybody decided 10
cash in his war bonds at once,
in order to buy things he wants.
Where would Uncle Sam find
$4,000, ,000,0000 In cash. In
short order? Who would buy
rev bonds, to provide money
to pay off on all those wal
bondsf

HOLLYWOOD - After Pro-
ducer Robert Fellows viewed a
rough cut of The Spanish
MAN," he met Paul Henreid,
who co-stars in the film with
Maureen O'Hara and Walter
Slezak. Fellows said the picture
looked like a winner. How am
II" asked Henreid. Terrific y
said Fellows. You're braver
than Enrol Flynn"
During filming of Back to
Bataan," Fellows insisted on a
double for John Wayne in that
scene where the star was blown
out of a foxhole. If you do it
yourself" Fellows said, people
won't believe it is you, anyway.
SO use the double" But Direct
or Edward Dymtryk sided with
Wayne and Wayne did the scene.
Other day Wayne met Fellows
and said, ruefully: You were
right, Bob. l haven't found any
one yet who believes it was me
and not a double in that scene"
MIND: Charles Boyer says that
feminine glamor exists only in
the mind Of man." Apparently
he has never seen Carole Lands
or Marie Wilson in a bathing
suit.
