Tell Me Doctor, by Henry Bar
nard Stafford. M. D. (Renbayle
House. New York: $2.95).
Parts OF this book have appeared
serially in the Ladies Home
Journal for the past several
months. 1t is a book we believe
should be read by every woman,
and kept for reference on the
family book shelf.
DR.. Stafford has used the device
of a conversation between him.
self and a series of imaginary
patients to eliminate "textbookish-
ness" and couch his information
in layman's language. The device
proves happy one, and the
gynecologist has made the most Of
it to produce fascinating, read

Twenty-four chapters are de-

and stheir sisters. consult the
doctor. Among these are the
thorough covering of the drama of
pregnancy and birth, including a
discussion of complications that
sometimes arise. The meaning
of abortion and miscarriage, of
sterility, of change of life and of
cancer come in for attention. Fe-
male anatomy and physiology are
discussed, and sketches through
out the book help clarity the IN
formation given.
DR.. Stafford manages to weave
interesting accounts of chapters
in obstetrical history into his
story. One of these deals with
the development of the cbstetrical
forceps by Peter Chamberlen. one
of a famous line of Kuguenot
physicians who settled in Eng
land.
Peters son, Hugh. wrote in 1872
that he and his father and
brothers had long practiced a
way to deliver women successfully

materials to make a picture to
take home to their parents. For
cooperative and imaginative
play, let the children play church.
A small, tall table may be used
as the pulpit, eight or@10 chairs
placed in two rows for pews with
hymn books on each chair, some
offering plates, small stack of
church bulletins and a box of
offering envelopes.
Let one child be the preacher,
one pass out bulletins. one take
up the Offering envelopes, one can
be the choir leader and stand in

Let the children choose their roles,
or you may suggest that various
ones take the parts. They will
hold the hymn books but you can
ask one to suggest a familiar song
that they all know.
When playtime is over, have the
children come to the circle for the
lesson and songs. The lesson must
be very brief and told, not read.

It's the American women, not
the hair stylists, who have de-
manded longer coiffures! They
are tired of the upkeep and the
severity Of short locks.
Does that mean that the head
that has worn a smooth crown of
close-cropped hair must go through
a growing out period with dis
tressing wisps and stragglers?
Not if you follow the Powers
Girl techniques! The models have
been letting their tresses grow
since early winter and with nary a
shaggy-dog effect. Here's their
advice on how to attain any length
of hair desired without single
growing-out pain.
l. Keep the longest fringe of
hair trimmed evenly. 2. Have a
soft permanent so that your locks
will be manageable during the en-
tire period of growth. 3. Set your
sights now on the final style to
which you aspire so you'll know
how much growing you need wait
for, and can begin training your
waves and curls in the right direc-
ton Immediately. When the
growth is finished, the style should
be perfected.
In choosing a new style "Se-
crets of Charm" readers know that

suggestions that follow meet both
of these requirements.
For the businesswoman and the
busy home manager, a short page

crown. Full the hair back slick at

curls on the nape.

very sleek.
For all, chignon, real or false,
perched low on the neck, high on
the crown or smartly to one side of
the head and sized in proportion
to the head and features.
Any of these changes are suffi-
cient to add new interest to your
appearance - something every
woman should seek now and then!

OF the book, The Cry ana the
Covenant" comes in for atten-
ton. too. When a young assistant
in the General Hospital in Vienna,
Semmelweis was working in the
first division of the obstetrics serv-
ice, which was attended by medical
students who were permitted to
make internal examinations with
out washing their hands.
He noted that the other service.
attended by midwives, who as a
class were cleaner in their per-
sonal habits than the embryo
doctors, had far fewer cases OF
puerperal fever (fever due to an
infected pregnancy, and he set
to work to find out why.
His investigation of several
months showed that sepsis after
delivery prevailed, year in, year
out. in the hospital but not in the
homes; that women delivered on
the way to the hospital always
survived: that women who had
long. hard or instrumental labors
were nearly always affected; that
overcrowding of the hospital made
no difference; that no attention
to diet, treatment and so forth
made any difference.
Semmelweis propounded the
theory that puerperal fever was
caused by decomposed animal
matter introduced into the birth
tract. Gle had grasped the mean
ing of infection but was ignorant
of the existence of bacteria as
they are known todayD When he
and his helpers started to wash
their hands, DR.. Stafford reports,
clean their nails and use wash
of chlorine water, the results were
Immediately startling and within
weeks were better than the mid
wives clinic could show.
"You would think that Semmel-
weis would have been honored by
his colleagues for his discoveries,
but such was not the case," ex-
plains DR.. Stafford. "They re-
fused to accept his theory and he
fought them for Is years until his
death in an insane asylum. ). It
was not until the time of Lister
that the value of his work was
appreciated"

To-day such an invention

was not the policy of the Cham
berlens, however. They kept the
device a closely guarded secret.
and they were aided in this course
by the curious customs of the
times in which they lived :.

tent which effectively shielded
the patient from exposure to the
eyes of her attendants-and
incidentally. her doctor. Even
though working under the handi-
cap of this screen, the Chamber
lens were able to effect deliveries
where all other practitioners had
failed. simultaneously shrouding
their secret as effectually as they
did their patient. And they kept
their secret for a century and
waxed rich accordingly. since they
were called from all parts of
Europe to confine the women of
the nobility and the gentry"
Sir Hugh was finally framed"
by a jealous physician on case
that was impossible to deliver,
came to be regarded as an i'm
poster. and was turned down when
he offered to sell his secret for
10000 crowns. He later disposed of
the gadget in Holland. It is also
considered quite likely that sharp
eyes may have caught a feeting
glimpse of the forceps earlier as
he worked.

THANK YOU" NOTES.

From Mrs. E. L. T., BetheSddJ
I want to thank each and every
one who sent me letters and sug-
gestions for ridding my new home
of water bugs. 1t is SO wonder
full to know one has this column
to turn to when in need of ad-
vice. I received so many letters
and did appreciate each one.
Thanks to you, the bugs are now
"in another world" and we are
happy about it.
From Mrs. E. /. W., HyattSuilleJ
I wish to thank Mrs. C. A. A..
Indian Head; Mrs. L. D. M. of
Washington and M. c. L. of Wash
ington for their replies to my
query regarding May II. 1907,
which I received several months
ago. Due to being away I have
just now been able to express my
gratitude.
From Mrs. J. w. D., Alexandria, -
Thank you so much for print
ing my plea for a certain dis
carded pattern. I never would
have found it, I'm sure, if it
hadn't been for one of your good

MOIDING CANDLES?
From Mrs. G. w. B., Jr., Clifton
Heights, Pa
In RICH some one gave the in
structions for making bayberry
candles, and stated that if any
readers were not familiar with the
technique of candle-making, they
could write for the information.
I would appreciate detailed in
formation about this, as I have
tried doing it and have had a lot
of trouble getting the right ma
terial for wicks, and stringing the
mold, and getting good results as
sometimes my wicks were not cen :
tered well, and I invariably had a
hardtime getting the candles out
OF the mold. My mold is an an
tique tin one and I would like to
be able to perfect the technique,
as have lot of good wax at my
disposal, from the discarded ends
of church candles.

HONEY CAKE;
GERANIUMS?
ECONOMY HINTS.

The following is in answer to
Mrs. F. K, Washington. Recipe
for honey cakes are found in the
Jewish Cook Book by Mildred
Grosberg Bellin, published by
Bloch Publishing Co., New York.
Other wonderful recipes are con-
tanned in this book also.
Now a query. how to make
geraniums bloom. The foliage is
beautiful but for four months
nary a blossom. I would also like
to mention my economy measures.
I save every bit of liquid vegeta-
bleS are cooked in. When enough
has accumulated, I heat, add
bouillon cubes and we have
wonderful first course. Meat juice
from baked ham goes into the pea
soup which is made with the re-
manning ham bone. Chop suey is
made with the small bits of pork,
chicken. ETC., which are difficult
to serve "as is" Left over gravies
go into soup. buy in as large
quantities as possible. 1t is often
possible to save several cents buy
ing large jar, quart of mayon-
naise, rather than two pints at
separate times.
I am careful to see that flour,
cereals. ETC., are used before they
can become spoiled. Our family
likes jams and jellies and we
alternate the more expensive jams
with the inexpensive jellies. This
goes for breakfast fruits. We often
have prunes or tomato juice which
find are somewhat less expensive
than other fruits and juices. Make
cookies rather than buy them.
A fine soup can be made with
cabbage left over from making
cole slaw for a small family; the
residue from a ketchup bottle, hot
water and bouillon cubes thick
en- with little cornstarch. No
good food should go into the gar
bage. I hope these hints will be
of some help.

We expect to leave in June for

What suggestions are there to
make life there comfortable?
SINCE it is so cold and damp, is
1t possible to take along electric
heaters, pads, etc.? What about

going by plane?
We would appreciate comments
on the Calvert School method
