PEOPLE of advanced age are quite
likely to be plagued by disturbances
of the circulation, particularly of
that to the legs. Among the most
common disorders are those which
result from spasm of the arteries
or hardening of these important
blood vessels. In either of these dis
orders pain-often of an agonizing
nature-is the chief symptom.
Recently worth while treatment
for relief of pain in such cases has
been developed. 1t is apparently sue
cessful because not only does it re-
lieve the pain, but reaches the very
root of the trouble-the diminished
blood supply.
There is a substance known as
histamine which normally may be
present in the body in small
amounts, and may produce dilation
or widening of small blood vessels.
Another Substance
1t has been found that another
substance Called histidine-one of
the amino acids that make up pro-
teins-will, in contact with ascorbic
acid or vitamin C, form histamine.
Hence, this mixture has been used
in treating patients with blood ves-
sci disorders.
In carrying out the treatment, a
solution Of the histidine and the as
corbic acid is mixed in a syringe.

nuts keep" inquired the Chef.
"About week in a covered dish
in the refrigerator" l said. "Or if
you can spread the skinned peanuts
in pan lined with absorbent paper,
and dry them for an hour in a slow
oven. Then they'll keep for weeks in
can on the pantry shelf. But don't
let them roast, for when they are
used as near their original state as
possible, they have the valuable
property of merging their flavor
with the meat or main ingredient
used. so you scarcely know it is ex-
tended by any other food"
Very inexpensive
"These raw peanuts are very in
expensive" commented the Chef:
they cost much less by the pound
than meat. even when they are out
of the shell. As the expert on foods,
Madame, what is their food value?"
peanuts contain more than
twenty-five percent protein, about
fifty percent fat, and up to twenty
five percent carbohydrate-a per-
feet balanced combination. And they
are good source of PHOSPHORUS,
calcium and iron, not to speak Of
their rich content of thiamin, ribo-
Aavin and niacin."
Madame, I'm sold," said the
Chef. I'VE shall have a beef and
peanut loaf for dinner"

Food for Thought

Brazil nuts are high in nutri-
tional and energy value, being over
60 per cent fat, an excellent source
Of Vitamin B1, a fair source Of
Vitamin A and having a mineral
content higher than that of most
fish. They also contain more meth
ionine, one of the amino acids essen-
tial for growth and tissue repair,
than is recorded for any other food.

!" WE were walking back to the
kest-kitchen after visiting a food ex-
hibit, when the Chef stopped dead
In his tracks and shifted with ap-
probation. "Peanuts roastingw he
exclaimed. at must be in that

We followed our noses. And there,
lined up along the wall we saw five
big electric peanut roasting ma

drawing customers into the shop by
the dozen. There were the warm
new-roasted peanuts, raw peanuts.
eandied peanuts, peanut patties,
peanut butter and salted peanuts.

Chef, harding me a huge bag of
roasted peanuts, and ordering one
for himself.
"Thank you, Chef. Let's also get a

"You like them raw" he said.
Like Raw Chestnuts
ayes, they taste somewhat like
raw chestnuts," 1 said. "But you
know peanuts are valuable protein
food, and l think we can work out
some new ways of combining them
with meat and other foods to help
bring down the high cost of eating"
"After the raw peanuts are
shelled you parboil them and take
off the red skins" he asked.
"Not necessarily. For combina-
tion with meats prefer them raw
if to be used with a dark colored
meat or a dark vegetable like toma-
toes, leave the skins on. But if the
peanuts are to be combined with
light colored ingredients, the skins
should be removed. The best way to
do this is to cover them with boiling
water, and let stand for hours.
Then add a little salt and boil As

skins then slip off easily"

Decorating
By ELEANOR ROSS

MANY'S the time we have all
wished that our walls were made of
elastic so that we could push them
around to change the size or shape
of a room. And this is especially
true when almost anything with
walls, windows and doors has had
to make do at a price that left little
money for structural changes.
Some Of the ultra modern places
now under construction are being
built with disappearing walls, but
most of us will have to get along
with the homes we now have. That
doesn't mean, however. that We
have to put up with them in their
present state. There are innumer-
able ways and means, inexpensive,
too, by which the amateur home
decorator can pull sleight-of-hand
tricks to get good effects. BY the
wise choice of wallpapers and a
liberal sprinkling of imagination,
you can achieve almost any desired
effect.
Light Colors
As every woman knows from her
own clothes, light colors tend to
make one look larger, while dark
shades make a woman feel posi-
lively sylphlike. The same color
principle applies to walls. II you
want a room to seem larger, give it
background of a small pattern or
pale shades of wall paper such as
the cool blues, grays, cream, ivory
or oyster tones. The lighter the
shade, the greater the illusion Of
space.
On the other hand, If you want to
create a more intimate effect in a
large room put it on q reducing diet
of small colors. The warm shades
such as terra Gotta, cocoa, deep red,
rose and the like tend to make q
room seem sinaller.s

for Thursday, October II

A DIFFICULT or involved state
of affairs affecting business inter-
ests finances and credit, as well as
home and purely personal objectives
and desires, is read from the current
sidereal setup. Property and posses
sions, business as well as home as
sets, are in the balance, probably due
to carelessness or negligence, with
unhappy reactions and probable
grief to the standing and reputation.
Fortunately the mind is pitched in
serious grooves, with inclination
toward reflection and capacity for
analysis and reasoning, with even
tual practical issues and sound or

sistent effort win out.

Keep Neck
Contours
Youthful
By HELEN FOLLETT

1T may happen that a woman
wins the beauty race by a neck. A
beautiful neck of satin-smooth sur
face and fine lines is a good-looks
item Of which any woman may be
proud. But the trouble is this: if it
qualities, it gets no attention what
soever. II it goes to seed, takes on
wrinkles or discolorations, there is
difficulty in getting it in form again.
A neck can look older than any,
thing. and you just can't live it
down. If you are getting along to-
ward the forty mark, you had bet
ter get neckwise and soon. 1t can
60 into state of collapse overnight
and then what? All you can do is to
cover it with collar. Don't forget
that it can be preserved through
fastidious treatment, rarely can be
repaired with success.
Nightly Massage
: Five minutes of lubricating and
nassaging every night will often
insure against neck wreckage. Use
4 heavy emollient, one that will not
permit the fingers to slip. Put it on
= clean skin surface.
Start the application just below
the collar bones, using upward
curving strokes. Placing fattened
fingers at the base of the throat,
work out and up to the tops of the
shoulders in half circles. Then, start
ing under the chin. do sweeping
strokes to the ear lobes. Try not to
stretch the skin. Slap and pat brisk
ly. Finish with an ice friction.
Absorbs Cream
Thin necks will absorb a good
deal of cream, and that is all to the
good. In the morning, lave with cold
water to bring irmness to the It's
sues.
How you carry your head may be
the making or the unmaking of this
pillar that holds up your tete. Let
the chin droop and there will be
cross lines on your throat. Keep up
your chin-you should anyway be-
cause you look better that way-and
the delicate tibers running from the
chin to the chest will keep strong
and resilient.
And don't let your powdering stop
Just under your chin; include the
neck and the earlobes.

 8. That respondents give un- reasonable preferences to cannery or fishery traffic by establishment of low rate levels, and unduly pre- judice town freight traffic.
 A. That the commission should reduce freight rates to the extent that the general level of such rates north or southbound is each equal to the average full or sub sidized cost of service, including a reasonable rate of return, depend ing upon whether Congress pro- vides a subsidy for the operations.
 "5. That the commission should determine the lawfulness of the rates involved in this proceeding upon findings with respect to ef- ficient and economical costs of op- erations by respondents, rather than upon the mere differences between total revenus and ex- penses incurred by respondents. !"
 This brief is one of several al ready submitted or to be submit ted to the maritime commission in connection with the current rate investigation. Previously, three members of the commission staff filed a brief which takes is suance with the Territory's posi- ton in that it holds that the exist ing rate structures were not found to be unjust or unreasonable" It should be pointed out that this brief, although filed by staff mem bers of the maritime commission, Rivers Charges-2 ..... ...... .-.... .- has no more weight than those filed by other interested parties.
 Although supporting the pres ent rate structure, the commits sion staff members found in their brief that Alaskan trade appears to constitute a startling exception to the usual rule that carriage by water is mile-for-m cheaper than carriage by rail. it is completely true that carriage-cost from the States to Alaska is not ably higher than such cost of car riage by water from the States to

or lose.
 Accepting that explanation, we advance to the premise that Gen eral Graham was not using 'in- side information" which would have been grossly unethical.
 Still it seems to us that the gen. eral was rather careless in letting someone else gamble with his money, which would be nobodoy's business but his own, and rather careless with his reputation as a member of the White House inner circle, a matter which concerns other people. The proof lies in the fact that the disclosure of the gen. erals grain trading has caused embarrassment to MT. Truman and his administration.

 Discrimination In Alaska Shipping


 ferences and prejudices as be- tween classes of traffic and ship pers," the Territorial government has filed its brief before the mari time commission in the rate in vestigation in which the Territory seeks lower steamship rates.
 The brief was filed for the Ter ritory by Attorney General Ralph J. Rivers, Malcolm D. Miller, spe- cial counsel to the attorney gen. eral, and Donald J. O'Connor, economic consultant.
 "The incerased freight rates are about 166 per cent of the prewar 194l basis as compared with war time rates 116 per cent of the pre- war level," the brief points out. "The commission allowed the in creases to go into effect without determining whether they were reasonable or otherwise lawful"
 The brief charges, among other things the steamship operators with inefficient scheduling and loading. It further contends that so-called town freight is charg- ed rates much> higher than would be required if there were not pre- ferential rates for cannery freight. The brief contains much factual data supporting the Territory's position.
 "The problem of dealing with inefficiency and uneconomical op- erations may be new to the mari time commission in rate cases, but is not unfamiliar to other regula- tory agencies" the brief states. The brief contends:
 q. Town freight rates are ex- orbitantly high.
 "2. Town freight rates were in creased more dollars per ton than cannery and fishery rates.
 "3. Town freight rates were in- creased by much greater amounts in dollars per ton than fishery rates in the progression of rates to more distant ports.
 "4 Fishery traffic made up a preponderance of traffic in the summer months.
 5. Average revenues per ton in the summer of 1947 were low because of the burdensome effect of low canned fish rates which constituted a preponderance of the traffic.
 "6. Winter and spring revenues per ton will be much higher than for the summer months because the burden of fishery rates will be lighter"
 In maintaining that the relation ships between cannery and town freight rates are unreasonable and are preferential to the latter, the brief states, We believe that Con- grss intended the subsidy for the purpose of aiding the general pop ulation of Alaska. Actually the result of subsidization of an al- ready prosperous cannery indus try, which has been selling its product at highly inflated prices, while the consumer in Alaska must pay not only the imitation of living costs, but also the unneces- sary imitation of town freight rates which are very high"
 Summing up, the brief contends in behalf of the Territory of
