Your Health,
THE FIRST CONCERN.
—Mumps is an infectious disease
which attacks the salivary glands
and sometimes involves other glands.
There is no known remedy by which
the disease can be cured. Restand
‘proper nursing and simple treatment
to relieve the pain of the swollen
glands, such as fomentations, are the
‘proper measures of treatment. The
diet should consist of gland foods
with paraffin oil, etc.. to maintain
activity of the bowels. An enema
should be administered daily. The
patient should be kept in the open
air but kept warm. Care should be
taken to avoid taking cold.
~ —Regurgitation of food is due to
reverse peristalsis. It may be due to
disturbance of the central nervous
system. It is most likely due to
chronic intestinal autointoxication
which would also be a cause for the
insomnia. Change of the intestinal
flora by the use of paraffin oil and
other means, the avoidance of meats,
mustard, pepper and of gastric irri-
tants of all sorts, including alcohol
in every form, special attention to
increase intestinal acitivity so as to
secure an evacuation of the bowels
after each meal—these are measures
most likely to give relief.
—Much nonsense has been written
with reference to nerve foods. Many
years ago fish were recommended as
a brain food because they are rich
in phosphorus. A young man once
wrote to Mark Twain for advice. He
was a student studying hard and
wanted information as to the amount
of fish required to support a young
man’s brains. Mark Twain wrote
back to him that he thought a small
whale would probably be about equal
to his necessities. The only real
nerve foods are the vitamins, partic-
ularly vitamin B. This is found in
brain and yeast and most fruits and
fresh vegetables. It is very abund-
ant in spinach. >
—Diseased tonsils may be success-
fully treated by means of an electric
cautery. This is a somewhat te-
dious process, however, and removal
by a skillful surgeon is a much pre-
ferable method.
—The ultra-violet rays powerfully
stimulate metabolism, and it is en-
tirely possible that proper application
of the rays may be of some benefit
in diabetes, though we do not know
of any cases which have been cured
by this means. Light treatment has
‘an excellent effect upon metabolism,
and every diabetic should have the
benefit of sun baths or treatment by
artificial light.
_ —The dietetic value of bran muf-
fins is about the same as that of gra-
ham muffins or approximately two-
thirds that of graham flour.
—Changing the intestinal flora is
of first importance in a case of acne.
Meats of all kinds should be discarded
and also animal fats. Eggs should be
eaten very sparingly if at all. It is
better to discard eggs as well as
meat, at least for a time. The diet
should consist of fruits, grains, greens
and fresh vegetables. Bathing the
affected parts with very hot water
two or three times a day is advan.
tageous. In very extreme cases it
1s sometimes necessary to use a vac-
cine.
—What is the connection between
weather and the common cold? An
attempt to answer this was made by
Thomas J. Duffield, executive secre.
tary of the New York Commission on
Ventilation. He combined this with
a study of the prevalence of respir-’
atory troubles in schools which were
‘ventilated by windows and those
‘which were mechanically ventilated.
Records were kept of six schools in
Syracuse, New York, half of each
type, and in forty-eight rural schools
in Cattaraugus county, N. Y., the
results show that cold weather is not
80 productive of colds as precipita-
tion, in the form of rain or snow. In
the coldest week, respiratory illness
absenteeism was far below the aver-
age for the winter. In the next cold.
est week, this absenteeism dropped
to two-thirds of what it had been the
week before, when the weather was
warmer.
~ In the mechanically ventilated
‘schools, there was a high degree of
relationship between the incidence of
Colds and the amount of precipita-
tion, with a lag of two days. This
did not seem to be true in the natur-
ally ventilated schools, but in the
country schools. sickness followed
rain or snow with a lag of one week.
The explanation given is that the
children reach the classroom with
wet shoes and clothing. As the mois-
ture evaporates, the child may be-
come chilled and then take cold.
| Studies have also been made in
New Haven, Conn. and Cleveland,
0., as to the effect of mechanical
ventilation in schools on the inci-
dence of colds. As in Syracuse, it
was found that rooms naturally ven-
tilated were decidedly healthier. One
expert stated that by substituting
window ventilation, we could reduce
respiratory troubles among school
children one-third. This is not very
cheering news to taxpayers who have
spent so many thousands of dollars
throughout the country on mechani-
cal ventilation in school houses.

DAILY THOUGHT.
“A little work, a little play,
To keep us going—and so,, good-day!
A little warmth, a little light,
Of love's bestowing—and so,
night !
A little fun, to match the sorrow
Of each days growing —and so, good-
morrow !
A little trust that when we die
We reap our sowing. And so, good-

—Curls have come back in pro-
fusion this season to tide over the
untidy growing out period for bob-
bed heads. One might almost call
it the hesitation period because very
often the hair is allowed to grow out
to a short length and then is cut
off again.
Curls are an insistent fashion and
the coiffeurs are showing charming
curled effects, ringlets and poufs,
at the back or sides, according to
the wish of the wearer. Little curls
all over the head are produced by
simply combing out the permanent
wave immediately after the hair is
dried and not putting in the usual
water wave. It has been popular
this summer because it certainly
' saves coiffeur’s bills and much time, |
for all one has to do is to run a
comb through and presto! one is
well coiffed. |

—~Gloves this winter will have a
real punch in them and the smart |
dressmakers are putting it there, |
having adopted gloves as one of |
their important accessories and add- |
ing them to every chic frock, coat
or ensemble. i
In fact, a coat without the fash-'
ionable gauntlet glove is only half
a coat this season, for the fur is |
to be found on the glove to form
the cuff. In some cases they are |
veritable fur sleeves, running half. |
way up to the elbow. One dealer is
showing a striking pair with curly,
lamb in soft chocolate color to form
cuffs on a cloth of the same
tone. A black costume has great |
gauntlets with white fur anda littie |
hat to match. |
One dressmaker is showing some |
lovely warm knitted gauntlets with '
her sports costumes, all made by
hand and with striking modern mo-
tifs in gay colors. |
—Artificial flowers, at least of the
expensive order, continue to be
| fashionable, especially the large, soft
flowers in clusters. says a fashion '
in the New York Times. |
Peonies, for instance, in rich beige. |
ivory and gold shades are stylish. |
They are made of a soft silk with |
the petals cut on natural lines. Three |
shades of the same color appear to
be the leading design for evening |
dresses. Peonies in cerise red, a
rose and fuchsia, again, are grouped |
for a shoulder or sash trimming.
Chiffon with enough stiffening
about the edges to give that “real”
effect is also a favorite medium
and the metallic cloths are being
used in flowers with narrow petals,
such as daises and sunflowers. Vel-
vet and silk, too, are often combin-
ed. When velvet alone is used in
large flowers it is of the soft kind
that gives the suede-like surface of
the natural petals. Gladiolas are be-
ing used in various colors, including
yellow and black, the flower part
made of a muslin, while the stems
are of velvet in natural colorings.
Giant poppies in natural red with
the edges of the petals touched with
black are shown for wear on a black
evening dress or a white dinner
frock that requires some color.
No shipment of flowers from Paris
is ever without a gardenia of some
kind. The best ones are made of
white muslin. Clusters are shown
for evening wear, while the single
flowers are good for an afternoon.
The starched velvet pond lilies in
white and faint tints come in attrac-
tive new clusters of three blooms of
varying sizes and colors. The cen-
ters and inner sides of the petals are
richly colored and this coloring
shows through when the flowers are
worn.
—As though to challenge the
supremacy of ankle socks for sports
wear the new silk hose affect lace
stripes at the ankle. In shades of
sunburn they carry stripes developed
in brown.
—An ironing board that is always
ready for use and never in the way,
that is kept free from dust, that will
not warp. crack or split, that can be
adjusted to a comfortable height,
that has no flimsy, folding legs, that
is stable and strong, that requires no
heavy lifting—these are some of the
advantages offered by a folding
ironing board when it is built in wall
case that make it well worth the few
cents a week that it will cost over
the long time it lasts.
—To keep eggs from curdling
