min-amino acid preparation over a
two-week period. In addition, they
were given a similar preparation to
be taken by mouth three times a
day. Prior to the beginning of the
treatment, the hearing was checked
and a recheck made after two
week period. Of the u patients who
completed the treatment, seven
showed definite improvement in the
hearing of sufficient degree to he
noted; five showed slight improve
ment, while nine showed no benefit.
Ringing in the ears which was an
outstanding symptom in lS of the
patients, was significantly improved
or cured in II.
1t would appear from this limited
study that this type of treatment
may have beneficial effect on the
hearing power in certain persons.
1t is felt that such Improvement as
is produced by the treatment will
remain permanent. Perhaps, if the
treatment is carried out over a
longer period of time. even greater
benefits might appear in certain
cases.
This treatment certainly would
seem worth trying in those affected
with hearing defects.

Answer: The swelling is due to

to heart disease, kidney disease or.
perhaps, to some local disturbance
of the circulation.

Good Holiday
Dessert Ideas
By ALICE DENHOFF

WE like the idea of setting the
holiday scene early in the month by
serving special desserts. We don't
mean dressed-up luxury sweets, but
we do mean holiday puddings.
Date Graham Pudding is health
full as well as delicious. For 8 good
servings, mix Ia c. graham -four,
y tsp. salt. u tsp. soda. tsp. baking
powder without sitting. Mix 2 c.
sliced. pitted dates through flour
with the finger tips. Melt Il c. mar
garine or butter; add u C. molasses,
a C. milk and one beaten egg. Stir
this mixture into the dry ingre-
dients. Fill well-greased n,olds two
thirds full of the batter. Cover
tightly. Steam for 2R to 3 hours.
| Serve with hard sauce or a liquid
pudding sauce.
Plum Pudding
Serve the children a special pre-
holiday plum" pudding. 1t looks
just like regular plum pudding, but
is skillfully disguised for the young
sterS. soak C. stale bread crumbs,
grated, in C. of scalded milk until
soft. Melt square of unsweetened
chocolate in a small pan over hot
water Tor in double boiler). Pour
over the chocolate enough of the hot
milk strained from the soaked bread
to thin the chocolate until it pours
easily. Then add hot chocolate to
warm bread and milk, then add q
c. light corn syrup. u tsp. salt and
u tsp. almond extract.
Next. add . slightly beaten eggs,
one c. finely chopped dates and one
C. finely chopped nutmeats. Stir
mixture briskly but lightly; turn
into CREASED baking dish or mold.
Bake for an hour: turn mold out on
lace paper dolly. For the holiday
touch, put holly sprig on top and
pass whipped cream. incidentally,
this makes very good Christmas
pudding for small fry whose wise
mothers refuse to serve them really
rich foods.

WHAT a gorgeous display of
apples!" remarked the Chef, as we
walked into the super-market. He
picked out big red delicious apple.
Enjoy it Madame he said, "and
| will do the same"
Lets buy some apples to cook, y
| said. Those Mcintosh, greetings
and Northern Spies will be good for
baking, apple sauce, frying and
pies"
"And we'll need somt of those
Golden Delicious apples for salads,
and to mix with an assortment of
eating apples to make nice fruit
bowl for the living-room table," the
Chef added.
Barrel of Apples
when was girl" recollected,
father always bought barrel of
fall apples which were stored in a
cool place in the cellar. This carried
us up to December. Then he'd get
in a barrel of winter apples that
would last almost until spring.
Apples were our principal fruit.
For breakfast we often had sliced
apples cooked with the oatmeal or
rice. Or sometimes there would be
fried apples with sausage, or apple
griddle cakes. An apple was always
packed in our school lunch. And
ginger cookie with an apple kept US
going after school. Several times
week a bowl of unsifted hot apple
sauce was served as a vegetable for
dinner. Other days for dessert we
had apple pie, apple dumplings,
apple Betty, steamed apple pudding,
apple cake or apple custard.'
"And did you drink the good
apple cider like we have in Nor
mandy ?" inquired the Chef.
"Yes. we loved it, cold or hot.
After skating. mother often made
us a cider toddy. merely cider
heated, sweetened, and stirred with
a stick of cinnamon bark. We never
seemed to get tired of apples. As
| look back now, l realize it was
because my mother was clever in
preparing them in so many differ
ent ways, and in combining them
with many interesting spices and
favors. She used cinnamon, Glove.
nutmeg and allspice, each giving a
different favor. Sometimes she add
ed a little lemon or orange rind.
For a change she'd sweeten apple
sauce with brown sugar. or scraped
maple sugar. She made it in many
different ways. One day she'd peel
the apples, slice them thin and boil
the sauce rapidly to keep it white.
The next, she'd peel and slice the
apples thick, and bake the sauce in
a bean pot for hours in a slow oven,
so it was rich and red.
Stirred in Butter
Before serving she'd stir in
tablespoon of butter. Apples for
baking were sometimes stuffed with
mincemeat or bananas; and she'd
even flavor apple pie with spray
of mint or a leaf from her pet rose
geranium growing in the kitchen
window sill. AS for her apple sauce
custard, that was our most elegant
company dessert"
"The apple is indeed the most
versatile of our fruits" commented
the Chef. "May l suggest a simple
way of using the good raw apples
for dessert, as is customarily done
in France? A brightly polished
apple is served on each plate, with
fruit knife and piece of cheese,
preferably the soft cheese. A basket
of bread is passed around the table.
Each one slices the apple, spreads
it with the cheese. and eats it with

Watch Out Fol-
Extra Pounds
By HELEN FOLLETT

THIS is the season of the year
when a woman must be mindful of
weights and measurements. If they
are normal the lucky lady must keep
in perfect form. If the figure has
an inclination to expand. she must
get busy. The feminine shape can
change for the worse in no time at
all. Pleasing curves can get out of
| hand.
In the summer time one is likely
to have outdoor exercise of one kind
or anotheS. Winter comes. In bad
weather walking does not appeal.
There are more social festivities,
when the little cakes are passed.
More food, less exercise, and you
know what happens. Take time by
the cowlick, lady. If you have a
pleasing silhouette don't let over
indulgence in the good things of the
table add poundage and ruin attrac-
tive lines.
Arm Exercise
| Do you know that you can get
chest and arm exercise when brush
ing your hair? 1t is fact. Stand
tall, chest lifted, tummy held in.
Throw the head back, brush from
the forehead to the nape line. With
that backward movement, chest and
breasts will lift, the muscles of the
upper arms will be called into play.
Head lowered, brush from nape
line to crown. Let the brush go down
to your knees. Lift the arm with a
strong muscles pull. Then do these
movements with the left hand.
| Most housework is good exercise.
But whether you are cleaning, pol
ishing or making beds, assume an
easy posture; don't bend over your
job too long or your back will tire.

IT is always bothersome if we
suffer from some condition that af-
fects any one of our five senses, and
it behooves us to be on the alert
for symptoms of any conditions af-
fecting them. Take deafness for
example. 1t is not caused by any one
thing, but by large group Of con-
ditions. Deafness may be produced
by diseases of the nervous system:
by infections, such as infections in
the middle ear or inner ear, in the
teeth, tonsils or sinuses; by injury,
by poisoning or, at times, even by
syphilis.
In certain cases, particularly in
people of advanced years, DR.. Mer-
rill W. Michels thinks that lack
of vitamin B may be factor of
Importance. Hardening of the ar
teries of the inner ear is known to
be factor in some cases.
Other Patients Treated
Seventy eight patients were
treated for hearing difficulties by
giving them combined vitamins and
amino acids. The amino acids are
the substances which make up pro-
teins, found particularly in such
foods as meat, milk and eggs. Of
these patients, 81 showed improve
ment.
Another study was made by DR..
Michels, using 81 patients, 81 of
whom followed completely the pro-
gram outlined for them. Seventeen
of these patients had deafness due
to nervous disorders and four had
a condition called otosclerosis in
which there is a hardening of GER
tain of the ear structures.
The patients were given six in
iections into a muscle, of the vita
