SINCE we women act as purchas-

US to get the best possible value for
our money and to shop just as con-
scientiously as though we were buy
ing for a firm or store. Buy wisely
according to your needs, read news

putting by if not interested at the
moment.
Avoid bargains just because they
are nark-downs. Unless the items
are needed or can be put away

rating in quality. don't buy.
Read Labels
Whatever you do buy, know as
much as possible about the mer-

Take the matter of rainwear, for
instance. Read the label carefully

make sure of the kind Of protection
you can expect from it. Consult the
label also to learn how the coat
should be cleaned, whether the fin
ish is permanent or will be lost in
dry cleaning or washing. Eschew
rainwear that is not so tagged or
labeled.
For wear in heavy rain, gar
ment marked "waterproofed" gives
the best protection. Such a garment
has a finish that actually seals out
water. Note whether the thread
used for stitching also is waterproof

While really waterproof garment
seals out water, it also seals out air
which makes it hot and uncomfort-
able in all but very temperate
weather. Such a garment should
have holes or Sits under the arms
for some ventilation.
Not Complete Protection
A coat marked "water-repellent'
is usually best for general wear
While it gives shower protection
it does not offer complete protec-

coats are often made Of firmly

AS a forward-looking experiment
years ago, half pint bottles of mix
were served regularly to children
in the primary grades Of the Los
Angeles schools. The rise In GOOD
scholarship was spectacular. Now
about twenty-five years later, su,
pervised hot lunches are PROVIDED
on a nationwide scale for millions
of children. And when a complete
lunch is not available, milk or hot
dish may be purchased to supple
ment the home-packed lunch. ,
Fortunately for the physical and
mental health of the coming genera
ton, the school lunch program is
getting stronger every day; and l
hope every mother reading this col
umn will investigate and if neces-
sary, cooperate with the lunch pro-
gram of her child's school.
The American Medical Associa-
ton has published booklet called
SANITARY Requirements for School
Luncheons." This booklet is an ex-
cellent guide for a check-up in two
ways:-D When you investigate
the school lunch served to youl
child. (2) When you apply the same
rules and criticism to your owr
kitchen. Here are some leading
questions:
Does the worker cover her mouth
and nose when she coughs Of
sneezes, and wash her hands aftel
using a handkerchief? Is her hail
covered with net? Does she us'
tengs, forks, and similar utensils
when serving or dispensing foods
Do the foods make up a BALANCED
meal?
Storing Foods
Are all foods stored satisfactor
lily to ensure safe keeping unit
used? (All perishable foods shoul'
be kept no higher than 45'F.)
Is all milk pasteurized? Is it re
frigerated Immediately and kept a

WERE it not for the clothing
power of the blood, even minor in
juries would allow the blood to leak
from the body as water does
through sieve and we would have
no way of stopping it.
Yet. important as this quality of
the blood is under ordinary circum-
stances, it can sometimes cause diff
culties, particularly when a clot
forms in one of the veins. This con-
dition is called venous thrombosis,
or thrombophlebitis if, in addition
to the cloe, there is Inflammation Of
the vein.
Two New Drugs
Either one of these conditions is
always potentially dangerous and
we are fortunate indeed in possess
ing two new drugs known as anti
coagulants, with which to combat
them. One of these drugs is dicum
arol, the other is heparin; both slow
down the CLOTHING time of the blood.
The deep veins of the legs are
particularly subject to the CLOTHING
which brings about thrombosis or
thrombophlebitis. In some cases. the
condition is acute or sudden, accom-
panied by fever. an increase in the
number Of white cells in the blood,
and swelling and tenderness of the
leg.
III other instances II continues
over a long period of time with less
marked symptoms. There is perhaps
a slight increase in the pulse rate
and some soreness and swelling.
Many methods of treatment fol-
these conditions have been en-
ployed. For example, some time ago,
the only treatment used was COM
plete rest for five or six weeks. Such
treatment was often followed by
permanent swelling of the tissues
and persistent pain. X-ray treat
ment has also been used; and tight
bandages and early walking have
been Of help in some cases.
I Tying of Veins
Some physi, ans have advised the
tying off of the veins to prevent bits
of material which might break of
from the clot from getting into the
/ general circulation. Today nearly
all Of these methods have been aban.
doned in favor of the anticoagu.

THE town Of Naples has lost
much of its beauty, something that
lovers Of this erstwhile tourist IA
vorite, will be sorry to learn. The
scars of war, the neglect, are ap-
' prent even from a cursory stroll.
Streets are dirty, fine buildings neg
lected, and the populace ditto. But
nothing can detract from the ex-
quisite setting of Naples itself and
we are all hoping that both towns
folk and town will soon effect sure
and steady improvement.
We remember so wildly our first
view Of the magnificent Bay of
Naples. On rounding Ischia, the
steamer heads into a sweeping curve
Of beauty with mountains meeting

steam. The islands Of Ischia and

Of the bay, while q chain Of noun

is the American family headed
for catastrophe? If it is will it
carry with it the destruction of our
democracy and entire social order?
Last year, 100000 divorces were
granted in U. S. courts. Consider
the number of children involved.
Two significant books were pub
lished last year: Family and Civil
lization," by Carl C. Zimmerman of
Harvard, and "The Family and
Democratic Society,"" by Professor
Joseph Kirk Folsom of Vassar.
Zimmerman's Book
Professor Zimmerman believes he
can see the same signs of decay
within the American family as led
to the fall Of ancient Greece and
Rome - the growing concept Of
marriage as a personal matter rath.

the increase Of divorce on "minor OF

mism" that won't stop with the
family but will spread through gu,

three or four; revival Of family

The present cathedral occupies the
site of the Temple of Augustus, and

Corinthian columns. 1t was in the
amphitheater that Nero held glad

mouth on the first and second days.
Thereafter the treatment is con-
trolled by making tests of the clot-
ting time of the blood each day in
order to determine whether or not
additional treatment is required.
for it is important not to allow the
clothing time to become too pro-
longed. Following the second day,
the dose of the preparation is re-
duced to about one-third of that
which was given on the first two
days of treatment
Abnormal Bleeding
II abnormal bleeding should oc-
cur as complication Of the treat
ment, the patient may be given an
injection of whole blood into vein,
as we'll as an injection of Vitamin
X. The injection of Vitamin X may
be repeated after twelve hours.
The patient is kept in bed until
the symptoms have disappeared and
the blood CLOTHING time has returned
to normal.
Sometimes d BIZ of the material
broken off from the blood clot gets
into lung. This is known as pull
monary embolus. Such a condition
may threaten life and, when it oc-
ours, heparin should be given imme-
diately by injection into vein since
it produces more rapid change in
