Doctors are quaint. aren't they? Once they accept or espouse a the ory or adopt a method or remedy, or inadequate or better method or remedy is later discovered or not, they just can't admit they were wrong about it-not as long as they hope to get any more patients or write any more books-and so they have no recourse but but to pooh pooh the new method or remedy as mo good or to condemn 1t out of hand as dangerous.
 Although literally thousands of people have been cured of hernia by the injection method - painlessly, safely. without the necessity of leav- ing work and lying abed in hospital for Weeks-there are still plenty of medical authoritieS-or so they con- sider themselves-with the sheer gall to tell credulous people that the injection treatment of hernia Is no good" and even that it has been tried and found effective
 I am no authority about anything except pipe fuel-but I try to give hese a fair consensus of present day medical opinion, and l am prepar- ed to debate this question Of the method of choice for the treatment of hernia, with any physician Of standing who cares to go to the mat with me-I have facts and figures to match any the medical profession can produce.
 Twenty years ago when I first learned of the use of the office in- lection traeament of internal piles by Newark, N. J. doctor-from the many letters written to be by the cured patients-I reacted as do so many doctors today in reference to the office injection treatment of hernia. In short I asserted positive ly in this column that only opera tion could cure the condition,
 But I learned better and not only apologized to the doctor I had so defamed but later had the pleasure of receiving many letters praising his skill in the method from readers of this column to whom I had rec commended the doctor. Today, of course the injection treatment is the method of choice for the treat ment of internal hemorrhoids (piles) Indeed I am sorry for the poor victim who submits to hoSpi- talization and what the 18th cen tury practitioner called surgery for internal (bleeding, protruding itching piles. This applies only to hemorroids-piles. not to any other rectal trouble necessarily. Too often sufferers for one foolish reason or another neglect to have proper medical examination and just as-

sume the trouble is piles whereas in fact it may be something else I need not suggest what else-1 don't want to worry or frighten any one, just advise everyone to be sensible.
 After all. just what makes a doc tor medical authority? You may search me. Whatever it may be, I know I am not an authority on anything-although when quoting something I have said here people sometimes call me an authority = even noted or eminent medical authority-Which, of course, I am not. Anything I say here or else where is just my belief, teaching or opinion.

ln America, the divorce rate would head downward instead of up and up and up.
 But nobody urges wives to take that stand Instead, they are told they must fight the other woman with her own weapons. That they must out-shine, out-flatter, out attract her-beat her at her own game
 It doesn't matter that the other woman may be 10 or 20 years younger; that the wife may have to spend her time being mother instead of glamor girl; that she may be too busy ironing her hus- bands shirts and cooking his meals to keep up with his in- tereStS."
 IF SHE LOSES?
 She is just told to compete with the other woman, letting the other woman choose the weapons. And if the wife loseS-Well, that's just too bad. She is supposed to be good sport about it and turn her husband over to the other woman.
 It's pretty silly, isn't it? When the results are broken marriage vows, broken homes, and lf-orphaned children-if children are involved. A wife has only one real ad- vantage over the other woman. She is married to the man. If she has has enough courage to say simply and finally, We are not getting divorce she can sit back and let the other woman do the worrying.

Bread is precious commodity today. We cannot waste crumb. Here are good hints for preventing waste, supplied by Julia Kiene Of the Westinghouse Home Economics Institute.
 One of the best places to store bread is in your refrigerator. In the refrigerator, the bread stays moist much longer, as long as two weeks. And, of course, it will not mold there Throw away any moldy bread. It is not safe to eat
 Another way to keep bread fresh is to store it in a clean, dry bread box which provides ample air cir culation. The circulation reduces the danger of its becoming moldy during the hot summer months, Scald the bread-box at least once a week, after which place it in a sunny spot for two to three hours,
 Stale bread may be freshened to the point where 1t tastes almost like freshly baked bread. To fresh en it, use a double boiler, steam CT. or even a brown paper bag, If the other utensils are not available.
 Take a section of a loaf, or sin gle slices, and place in a double boiler or regular steamer and set over rapidly boiling water. Cover closely. Steam for a to 5 minute period.
 Or put the bread in a paper bag, sprinkle the bag lightly with warm water, close it tightly. and place it in an oven at $50 degrees F. for 10 to Is minutes
 To use stale crumbs, try this recipe: .-.....

SPEAKER TALKS
 ON NORWAY Al
 BpW LUNCHEON

Mrs. M 0. Johnson, native of Norway, tcday spoke on that com- try's courageous stand during the war and it's present economical con- dition. before members of the Ju- neau. Business and Professional Womens Club at their regular luncheon meeting in the Baranot Hotel
 Mrs. Johnson traced the war years in Norway-the 62 days or fighting after Quisling had pro claimed himself as Prime Minister tf the country under German rule, the surrender, and the ultimate freedom of the Norwegian people. iE She told of the privations and indignities suffered by Norway and read excerpts from letters received by her from cousins and aunts still living in Norway.
 Last Christians she received word that members of her family were gathering for their first Christmas holiday together in many years. She said at that time they were de- lighted that each child would be able to receive an orange.
 Freedom" celebrations and the traditional food served on the Nor wegian Christmas were described by the speaker.
 She said that the boxes sent by the BPW this year to Norway would receive an enthusiastic re- ception this Christmas because food is still scarce in that country and the Norwegians are naturally ap- preciative people. Festivities of all types delight them, she said
 During the regular business ses- sion it was voted that Federal tax assessments on the weekly lunch con bill will be paid from the Club treasury.
 Two new members were intro auced today. They were Mrs. Rhea Smith and Miss Mary Jane Ly- man, both employed in the Faulk- ner-B -Banfield law offices. Mrs. Smith is the wife of Charles Smith, administrative Assistant to the Governor.
 All BPW members, who have not yet taken their two gifts to be sent to Club members who are ill during the Christmas holidays, were urged to do so at the next meet ing
 Members were also reminded that the BPW family Christmas party will be held Dec. Is.
