One symptom of the disease is
a marked thickening of the skin.

IT'S fairly easy to decorate an
: L empty room because all the poor
features Jump out at you when you
first see it-bad light, ugly radl-
ators, poor doorways. dingy hoors'
too high ceilings, as well as the
other common faults. But have you
looked over a room that is already
furnished and failed to see what's
wrong?
We may have lived in a place so
long and added so much to it that
we fail to realize that some grave
faults have been created. Said a
woman the other day, my home
was nice when we first moved in.
But now, we've added so much, it's
different. I feel there's something
wrong with the place."
Her rooms were cluttered-not
only with furniture, but odds and
ends of presents or souvenirs that
had come to the place throughout
the years. The solution? It didn't
cost any money for her to simply
get rid of the extra things that clut-
tered the place, windmills for the
kiddies that were patched and
scratched, book racks that had been
added to take care Of magazines
and papers that somehow did not
get thrown out. pots and plants
more than were essential, and Gro

Honey During the Ages

Interesting are the stories Of
symbolic ceremonies associated
with weddings among, people Of
Asia, Africa, and Europe. Not the
least of these tells Of the part
played by honey. Honey was re-
spected as an important commodi-
ty, as a symbol Of sweetness in
family relations and Of protection
against evil spirits, and as a food.
History records that in the mar
riage contracts of ancient Egypt
the bridegroom has to promise his
bride a definite amount OF honey
each year. Among the Hindus and
certain Central European people
honey was used to bless the home
or anoint the bridal couple. In
Rome and among the Slavs honey
or a honey beverage was served to
the bride and the bridegroom as
special part of the ceremony. In a
few countries some Of these and
similar customs still persist.

room, and costs very little in time
and effort.
You might build a wooden shelf
over the radiator and bedeck this
with gay ruffles and make it into a
dressing table. This would solve the
problem nicely in a bedroom or
bathroom, especially If the latter
is large enough.
If you have bulky type Of radi-
ator, build wooden cover with an
open front, making the whole unit
look like a low bookcase. Place
separate units of the same size on
either side and use as bookcases.
Paint the whole thing the same col
or as the walls. Use plants or fig-
urines on top of the units.
Make Your Windows
A Decorative Asset
II your windows are too low, they
may be made to appear higher If
you raise the rods several inches.
Then construct a valance to hide
the fact that rod is being used
higher than it ordinarily is.
When you wish to make the win
dows appear wider, use the above
treatment slightly varied. Hang
the draperies as far to the side as
possible. Then construct a large
valance which will hide the fact.
The valance should be rather wide
and long.
IF you have straight windows
along wall, these offer an excel
lent opportunity for glass shelves
to hold plants or ornaments such
as collection of various colored
bottles. pictures, or glass. This
type Of window may be simply cur
tanned at either side, topped with a
valance.
If you have room with two small
windows on two adjoining walls, a
major but very attractive corner
can be made out of this by modern
izing. A treatment recently used
with much success is to use glass
blocks for the corner extending to
take the place of both windows.
If you have lovely outdoor view,
it's best to frame this by having a
large plate glass window. Don't OBJ
scure this with curtains; instead,
use dark drapes at either side so
that the view can be dramatized
and given it's proper setting.
For group of windows in bed
room, fluffy ruff1es are fresh and
attractive. The bedspread may
match the curtains.
Make Corners Assets
With Clever Tricks
Sometimes people forget that cor
ners of room need special treat
ment. They, too, can be a decora-
tive asset when intelligently han
! died.
If Dad likes to retire to a "cor-
ner" to read his evening paper or
magazine, make this your special
project. Select a good comfortable
chair, with foot rest, if he likes
it, and set this in a quiet corner.
Have side table for pipes or ciga.
rettes, If he uses them, or a table
with shelf for books, magazines
and papers. A good floor lamp with
indirect lighting will make the cor.
ner delightful place for reading.
Corners in living and dining rooms
may be made attra ctive by cabinets
which are excellent for storage
space as they hold so many things.
The top shelves may be made dec.
orative with plants, attractive and
unusual dishes or books with fine
coverings. The lower shelves may
be- used for linens, scrapbooks,
china or silverware.
Other corners lend themselves
nicely to corner-type bookcases. Il
the bookcases are low, you may
use attractive prints on the walls,
and set a lamp directly in the cor.
ner itself for light.

COLD GERM:
Health


"Gesundheit," as an expression Of
sympathy following sneeze, soon
may become obsolete.
Two research scientists of the ma
tional institute of health have re-
ported that they have succeeded in
isolating and growing a common
cold'' germ and that their expert
ments point 'to the possibility" of
producing vaccine against it.
The common cold, bane of civil
ized mankind, costs the American
public alone about a billion dollars
year and causes more loss of occu-
pational time than any other dis
ease. Anyone who ever has suffered
from a cold would hail a preventive
vaccine as an au-time great medi-
cal discovery.
However, DR.. Norman Topping
and DR.. LeonsT. Atlas, who isolated
the germ, emphasized that their
work opens the way only to the
''possibility''-not the probability
of producing such a vaccine.
