WE'RE ALL AFRAID AND MOST
 OF US ARE NERVOUS

or US ARE NERVOUS
 Worry, anxiety, the filters, dread, terror and horror are different de- grees of tho samo emotion; fear.
 Resentment, animosity, vexatlon, lndlanation, exasperation, rage and fury are different degrees of anger.
 The individual animal or man confronted with Q dangerous ad- versary or an unfamiliar situation that may be dangerous may either become angry and fight or try to remove or destroy the menace or seek safety in flight. This Is the primitive physiology of the sun- feet.
 Even though the cultured man or woman remains apparently unruf- fled and inlpassive under vexattons circumstances where Q lowbrow would bawl you out or maybe try to knock your block of, the impaS- sive one is by no means as calm and cool as he or she pretends to be. Invariably the heart beats the entire body machinery speeds harder, the blood pressure rises and up in preparation for the natural reaction to the emotion-hght or flight.
 This racing of the engine uses up some of the energy mobiliZed by the emotion Cncreased adrenin, in- creased oxidation of blood sugar. but hardly enough to blow off steam,
 I. the situation does not justify physical combat or action and does not permit immediate flight, then the man or woman who has to pre- serve Q tranquil demeanor under oil circumstances has constant need for some form of vicarious outlet for this lnobili7ed energy '- some kind of play, work or exercise every day, by way of recreation, relaxR- ton and rest, He or she must DO SOMETHING, something fairly strenuous, something that will make him or hoH actually Q little tired. If one can manage to get tired, not too tired, but just Q little tired every day one will save much of the wear and tear to which the body machinery is subjected by these everyday emotions to which 1t Is not permissible to react In the natural way.
 The wear and tear is not 30 much on the nervous system, by the way. It affects chiefly the circulatory system, the heart and arteries. Most so-called nervous breakdowns" are in reality cardio-vascular degenera- ton or disease-heart and artery wearing out.
 A good many brain workers or white collar or professional or busi- ness people have learned that they sleep better if they take Q good walk every day or every night, whenever 1t may be convenient,
 To such people particularly I commend the health and efficiency value of 6 few miles of oxygen on the hocf every day. A good way to get 1t Is by walking to and from work-instead of riding and getting whatever your fellow passengers hand you.

THE STORY: Leo Kabateck'
 lately broke, Is In the money now
 that he's prime legal adviser to
 racketeer Virgil BoggiO. He has
 lust moved into the swank Co.
 lumbus Towers. Boggto's gtri
 friend, Ginger, announces she IS
 coming over for Q house-waETning.
 BOggiO Is out of town.
 CHAPTER VII
 GINGER arrived at about 6, look V ing like a million and carrying a box wrapped in white paper with a silver ribbon around 1t.
 After one glance at the place sne let out whistle.
 "Gee, Leo, this is swelll' She put down the parcel and grabbed my hand. Come on," she said ,"shoW me around"
 We went from the living room to the pantry, then to the oatn- room and the bedroom, and eacn time she gurgled with joy. M
 "Oh, Leo, isn't 1t won-der-ful!'
 Finally, after she'd rushed around and was all out of breath, she flop ped into an armchair. She jumped up almost immediately.
 I'm so excited" she said, "that I'd almost forgotten" She handed me the box. ''This is for you"
 tore off the paper and opened the box. It contained a tray, a cocktail shaker, and six silver trimmed glasses.
 Say, Ginger, that swell!" I exclaimed. Thanks a millionl"
 took her silver fox jacket from her and we sat down on the dav- enport. She started to question me about my rise in the world. l didn't say much, merely that was now officially Boggio's lawyer and that we'd signed a contract.
 Then I asked her about Boggio's trip to Chicago. Had he decided upon it suddenly, or had it been planned a couple of days ago?
 She didn't know. He never talked to her about business. It was like him to do things unexpectedly, so she was never surprised by any of his moves. But still I couldn't figure it out.
 Don't worry" said Ginger. Forget it. When he needs you he'll let you know. What about pouring me drink?"
 While I called the desk she walked over to the radio and turned it on. A few minutes later n .vaskaw aos.aa am er4fh n fna If0af0F I'd asked for. I signed the check and tipped him, and then he pro- duced an elaborate menu from under his arm.
 Do you wish to dine, sir?" he asked
 Not having figured on anything like this I didn't know what to say. But Ginger took charge.
 That's a swell idea. hadn't any plans for this evening anyhow. Here, give that to me-
 Finally the waiter came across with suggestions for which we were both grateful. Neither Of as was SO hot on those fancy French names. And then Ginger clapped her hands. Let's have some etains pagne too. Leo, You don't move every day"
 HALF an hour or so after we'd E AA placed our order, the waiter had rolled in one Of those little carts heaped with dishes concealed under silver covers. He'd fixed the table for ils. carved the P0nlarde de BFuxelles which turned out to be roast chicken. and even placed the napkins 0n our laps e1'his was servleel Then he'd opened the champagne bottle which went 0fs with a terrific bang. and lllled our glasses.

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
 Sulfur

Have used Whitfeld's ointment (night) and the liquid preparation (daytime) as instructed in your pamphlet and 1t worked OK. To your correspondent who complained of boils may I suggest an old wom- ans remedy - before putting on stockings in the morning sprinkle some powdered sulfur in the toes. This has seemed to drive away boilS in many cases. (N. P. B.
 ArlSwer-Pamphlet on foot itch (athlete's foot, dermatophytosis) available on written request If you inclose stamped self addressed en- velope. The sulfur treatment can do no harm, but 1t can have no effect, so far as know, that is no effect on internal or systemic conditions. Of course neither sulfur nor any, thing else that doesn't actually break or blister tne skin can be absorbed through the skin.
 MaInutritiOn
 For the past six years I have been living on milk, cake and sweets. candy, ice cream, etc. NowsI find I am always tired, can't get enough sleep even if I sleep ten hours. (F. L. E)
 Answer-Except the milk, the diet you describe is hardly calculated to yield enough energy to keep you in fine fettle. A simple step tow- ard correction would be the rule that a real salad shall be the first course of dinner every day-by real salad I mean any fresh greens or fresh raw vegetables or fresh raw fruits or or combinations of these you can get. Then as second step substitute whatever fruit, prefer ably fresh fruit, there may be avail able, for cake, pie. candy or other sweet for dessert. At least once a day every one should eat fresh meat. If meat is not permissible, then eggs, cheese or fish instead.

 Amsrloas Card Authority

One of the most important activ- ities undertaken by the American Contract Bridge League during the war was War Orphans Scholarships, Inc. The chairman of the board of directors of that organization IS Maj-Gen. Peter o. Harris of Wash- ington, who was Adiutant General during World War I, While I doubt that the general plays cards, he gets Q big thrill out of awarding scholarships for college to the chil- dren of servicemen who were killed in action. So he deserves Q spot on our All-Anerica team.
