Subtle Essences
AS not enough flowers are grown
In the world to supply the perfume

and the garden-grown variety.
Just as every season brings new
styles in clothes, new arrangement
OF the glorious crown, new ideas as
to makeup, SO do various perfumes
have a fling. And how nice it is that
all women don't go mad about the

Buying The
Food For
Holidays
By ALICE DENHOFF

THE best way we know to start
preparations for the holiday season
is to make list of all the foods YOU
think you will need and lay in sta
pies as far ahead of time as possible.
Such items as spices, stuffed, ripe
and green olives, pimientos, tiny on
ions, catsup, cranberry sauce and
jelly, fruit cake, cookies, jars of
spreads and pastes, nuts, canned
goods of various kinds, preserved
ginger and such, can all be garnered
ahead of time. This will leave am
pie time to concentrate on the per-
ishables when actual shopping for
the big days ahead gets under way.
Concentrate on casual entertain-
ing as much as possible. If you have
sandwich grills, get them ready.
Make or buy plenty of delicious
cakes and cookies, for there is al
ways occasion for a beverage and
a bite Of holiday cake or cookies.
II you plan to do some baking, see
to it that you have plenty of fancy
cookie cutters. Have at hand, too,
such items as angelica and tiny red
candies.
Twelve Holiday Cakes
Here is one of our favorite holi-
day cake recipes: Twelve attractive
holiday cakes will be yours if you
get things ready, line up 3 eggs and
give the egg whites good beating.
Add one C. sifted sugar, a little at
time. Add the beaten yolks. Beat.
Add tsp. baking powder and one c.
flour sifted together, alternately
with 2 tbsp. water. Beat between
each addition. Flavor with a few
drops Of lemon and vanilla extracts. |
Bake in gem pans in $50 F. oven for
Is min. Frost. Decorate before the
icing has hardened, with tiny red
candies and angelica or citron cut
thin with the scissors to simulate
leaves.
To prepare the icing beat an egg
white stiff. Add one c. sifted confec-
TONERS sugar alternately with tbsp.
water, little at time. Flavor with
a few drops of vanilla and lemon
extracts.
When holiday guests drop in,
serve something different in the way
of a beverage. Mulled Loganberry
Juice is delightful. To serve COM
bine 4 c. loganberry juice, 2 c.
grapefruit juice, 2 c. water, whole
cloves, small piece each of stick Gin
namon and whole mace. Simmer for
5 min. Strain. Serve in tall glasses
with a cherry and a quarter slice
of orange. Makes nice stirrup cup,

By GARRY CLEVELAND MYERS, Ph.D.

YOU and 1 can't always be sure
OF what will happen to US next. Yet,
thanks to the growing fund of
knowledge available, we can be more
sure, as rule, than our forebears
were. Usually, the more sure we can
feel of what will happen next, the
better we can plan and govern our
ways of doing, and the better peace
of mind we can enjoy. The same
principle applies to the growing
child. I'm sure you will agree with
me that your child and mine should,
as far as is reasonably possible,
know what is going to happen next.
Now we parents are more respon-
sible than anybody else for what is
going to happen to our child next
and for his knowing what is going
to happen; and the younger the
child is the greater this RESPONSE
bility of ours since, obviously, the
more we can do about the matter.
Regular Routine
We can see this principle more
easily in relation to the child under
three or four. If he has fairly reg
ular routine of being bathed, fed
and put to bed, and if his toilet
training has been with some degree
of rhythm and regularity, he rather
readily falls in with the routine. He
learns gradually, even though at
first vaguely, what will happen to
him next.
On the other hand, the infant
brought up by the self-demand
method, especially if this method
operates beyond the first few weeks
or months, can't so easily know what
is likely to happen next. As you see,
the less the mother holds herself to
schedule, the more she will tend, as
a rule, to wobble in all sorts of ways.
(Related is my bulletin, "a Baby
Has Arrived" to be had in a
stamped envelope.)
When Lights Appear
Also the child from six to twelve
'r SO held to certain regulations as
coming in from the street when the
lights appear, going to bed at reg
liar hour, having to do a few def
lite home chores with daily reg
llarity can figure ahead on what he
will or may do next much more
'asily than if he were told each
light when to come indoors, when
o go to bed and when and what to
10 about the home, especially if, as
'ften happens, he is told repeatedly
o do these things until he does
hem. If he is good arguer, can
tut up strong enough resistance, or
utwit his parents in other ways, he
nay be very uncertain about what
7ill happen next. Indeed, this very
ncertainty encourages him to shirk
responsibilities and openly disobey.
While I know some parents say

New Treatment
OF Intestinal
Tuberculosis
By HERMAN N. BUNDEsEN, MD.

FROM the medical point of viev
we are truly living in a wonderful
age. Take, for example, the new
drugs we now have available-th,
antibiotics, such as streptomycin. L
has been found that streptor1ycir
IS helpful in the treatment of Ger.
tain cases of tuberculosis of the
lungs. Recently, it has been triee
in patients with tuberculosis of the
intestines with hopeful results.
With the passing of time, it has
been noted that this drug, wher
given by injection into a muscle, is
in part eliminated through the in.
testine. The drug may be admins
tered by mouth in cases of bowel
tuberculosis, because the drug is not
affected by the stomach secretion
nor is it absorbed to any great ex-
tent from the bowel, so that it can
act on germs in the bowel. The treat
ment also may be carried out by
giving the streptomycin in the form
OF an injection into the lower intes-
tine.
Proper Amount
DR.. N. Markoff, of Switzerland,
has treated patients with tubercu-
losis of the bowel by an enema of
the streptomycin solution. The prop
er amount of streptomycin is dis
solved in about a pint of salt solu-
ton. The injections were given daily
for from IA to Is days. All of the
patients also received injections of
the streptomycin into muscle. Just
which type of treatment should be
used in any case of intestinal tuber-
culosis depends upon the part of the
bowel affected.
Two effects of the treatment were
noted in the intestinal tuberculosis.
First, there is improvement in the
general condition, a decrease in
fever, and better appetite. Second
ly, there is an effect on the ulcers
in the bowel, which are produced by
the tuberculous infection. These ul-
GERS seem to heal and the symptoms
due to the ulcers disappear. Block
ing of the bowel due to the irrita-
tion produced by the ulcers, and di-
arrhea, which is often present, also
clear up, and the patient often re-
gains normal bowel habits.
Causes No Reactions
The treatment causes no reac-
tions or noticeable after-effects.
After few days of treatment, the
patients, as a rule, showed striking
Improvement in their symptoms,
and, il their condition improves, this
Improvement lasts for over period |
Of six months.
Unfortunately, the treatment has
not produced a complete cure in any
case. On the other hand, the bene-
fits obtained in relieving symptoms
seem to be greater than those pro-
duced by any other known form Of
treatment. Hence, in tuberculous
bowel infections this treatment with
streptomycin is well worth while
Employing.
OF course, the physician will de-
eide in each instance when the
Btreptomyein should be employed, L
lnd in what form it should be ad-
and over how long q

IF you have invited holiday house

ment to get at that guest room
whether it be room specially dedi-

room that has to be transformed
into a sleeping chamber. See to it
that bed equipment is in order, that
pillows are not lumpy, that there is
an adequate supply Of blankets.
Have extra towels at hand. See to
it that there are fresh bulbs in the
lamps, and that bureau and night
table drawers are freshly papered.
For that touch that spells 'Wel-

the window and freshly laundered
scarves on dressing table or bureau,
