By this time my knees were.frequent- ly full of terrible pains. I botight • a bottle of Krusehen, and took a teaspoonful every morning. It NO no effect. But my husband said 'Persevere! Give it a chance to act.' Well, 1 did and before long I molly knees were nearly normal. I kept on, and believe me 1 am not like the same woman. 1 walked four miles the other day and felt fine, whereas before 1 could hard - Iv wally across the tloor."—(Mrs.) E. A. What more need be said about the relief that Kruschen Salts can bring to sufferers from the pains and stiffness of rheumatism.

BY ANNE ASHLEY Q.—How can I make baking powder? A.—Mix 12 ounces of pure cream of tartar, 6 ounces of cornstarch, and 6 ounces of baking soda. Sift each ingredient about 12 times be- fore mixing, Make it on a bright, dry day. Q.—How can I protect the plaster when driving a tack into the wall? A.—Before driving the tack into a plastered wall, push the tack in- to a cake of soap, and the plaster will seldom break or crack. Q.--II,ow can I stop hiccoughs? A.—One method is to sit erect and inflate the lungs fully; then, still retaining the breath, bend. for- ward until the chest meets the knees, and then after slowly rising again to an erect position, slowly exhale the breath. After repeating this exercise a second time, the nerves will be found to have re- ceived an excess of energy, which will thus allow them to function properly. Q. --How can I make wallpaper stick on whitewashed walls? A.—Whitewashed walls shodid be washed thoroughly with strong vinegar before attempting to apply paper to them. After this treat - meta the paper will stick to the surface. Everybody'll Crazy By 2139 People of This Continent Have A Bad Case of the Jitters, Doctor Proclaims This continent has ouch a bad case of the jitters that there won't be a sane person around in 2139, David Seaburi, New York psychol- ogist and author Bald here. Speak- ing at Ford Hall Forum, Boston, last week, he cited statistics from the English Academy of Medicine to support this contention, He said almost as many people entered in sane asylums each year as entered colleges. "Tine U. S. is on the verge of a collapse," he said. "We have a bad case of jitters. The panic 'fol lowing the Orson Welles radio dra- ma and the fact that We spend a lot more time teaching college stu- dents how to raise hogs than how to raise children are evidences of our insanity, Lack of democracy in the home Is the main cause of in- sanity.

The discovery of this link is reported by L. 13. Pett, of the University of Alberta,. Edmonton, who found that persons with deficient eye vi- tamin A had 20 per cent. more colds within a month after the tests than those with adequate vi- tamin. RADIO STATIC ELIMINATED The invention of a radically new radio -broadcasting system which completely eliminates static and other extraneous noises is announ- ced. The discovery involves new methods of transmission and re- quires specially -designed receiv- ing -sets with a much shorter wave- range—from 10 metres down to possibly one metre. The new method is known tech- nically as frequency -modulation. The one now in use is called the amplitude modulating system. FROZEN GASOLINE "Frozen" airplane gasoline that won't ignite under a blowtorch was demonstrated at Roosevelt Field, New York, last week, as a solution to one of flying's greatest fire hazards. The gasoline, while not frozen solid, is reduced by an alcohol and dry mechanism to about 150 de- grees below , zero Fahrenheit, where it does not give off enough vapor to eatch fire. EYE -BLINK COUNT IMPORTANT An eye comfort meter, which reads how human eyes feel and shows what is tiring them, is be- ing perfected The meter almost literally "ticks." It counts the blinks of the eyes. Two hits of .metal, too light to feel, are stuck near the eyes, Wires connect them with It black box. Every time an eye winks, its muscles set up an electric impulse of a few millionths of a volt. This never fails. The wires pass the current to the box, which amplifies to turn a counter. The meter is based on a funda- mental scientific discovery that blinks are nature's sure sign and yardstick of eye strain. Man's Life Span s t Any Longer Although More Children Born Today, Liv; Medical Science Has Not Yet Increased Span Of Life. Lives of more children are being saved by medical science than ever before, but the life -span of the man of today is no longer titan ever, ac- cording to Dr. Robert Wilson, dean of the medical college of the Uni- verstiy of South Carolina. "Medical science hasn't done one earthly thing to lengthen the span of human life; we are saving chil- dren," he said. Dr. Wilson said that the "man of 40" has even less chance of a long- er life than formerly. IIe explain- ed that more people were living in the "heart disease and cancer age" because they were saved from the "acute diseases of childhood and youth." Long Nails Champ Miss Joanna Kennedy, only daughter of Brigadier -General H. B. Kennedy, of Knightsbridge, England, thinks she has the long- est fingernails in Mayfair—or any- where else. They are nearly an. inch in length. 1 Modern Etiq;ett,N BY ROBERTA LEE 1 , o s a o m e 0 o -o -a. -e -o --m 1.—Is it necessary to write any- thing on the card that accompanies a wedding gift? 2.—Is it all right for a man to rest his arm on the back of a wom- an's chair in the theatre, or in a public conveyance? 3.—What should a woman wear to a dinner when she does not poss• ess a dinner gown? 4.—When going to a week -end party must a guest go by the traiu or bus that is mentioned in the in- vitation? 5.—When you are having lunch- eon with several friends in a public dining room, and an acquaintance stops at your table for a few words, should you introduce him to each of your friends. 6. --What is the correct phrasing to be used on an engraved card announcing an engagement?

Flying over the Bay of Naples, an air pilot turned to his passeng- er assenger and said: "Have you heard that phrase, 'See Naples and Die'?" "Yes," said the passenger. "Well," said the pilot, "take a good look—the propeller's come off" A Scottish teacher set his class writing an essay on Ar- mistice, and one little girl pro- duced this sentence: "The Ar- mistice was signed on 11th No- vember, 1918, and since then we have had two minutes' peace every year." Meeting the local doctor, Brown inquired: "And how is the lawyer going on, doctor?" "Poor fellow," returned the med- ico, with a shake of his head, "he's lying at death's door." "There's grit for you." comment- ed Brown, "at death's door — and still lying." Death Is Like . SSI =cep Sleep Machine Picks Speech Err:, rs Records Faulty Enunciation Of All Sorts—May Be Useful In Education Of Deaf Mutes. Dr. Herbert. Koepp-Baker, head of Pennsylvania State (iollege`la speech clinic, has invented a rase chine designed to record accurate- ly "the mechanism of Npeech". The device, whioh Dr. Koepp- Baker calls an "'electrical phoao- kinesigraph," or "sound -movement - writer," is capable of tracing graph- ically the spasms of stutterers and stammerers and the faulty tongue movements of lispers, and is bald by the inventor to be "very useful in aiding deaf mutes in acquiring speech." The machine consists of minute electrical contacts, wires the size of human hairs, current -relaying vacuum tubes, a graphing device and a chronograph. Woman "Returns" From Other World—Says Death Resem- bles a Good, Long Nap. A 57 -year-old Bronx woman who "same back from death" sat 'propped in an armchair at home-' last week and spoke of her strange experience as "just like a good, long nap—a deep, dreamless sleep." The woman, Mrs. Bella Futter- man, was revived by her physician, Dr. Maurice R. Goodwin, a graduate of the University of Graz, Austria, after she apparently had succumbed to after-effects of an attack of asthma. "Bound relatives and friends be- wailing Mrs. Futterman as dead," the physician said. Artificial Respiration Used "I began to administer artificial respiration -1S strokes a. minute. Four minutes later I detected a. faint breath. The pulse was barely a flicker, but I realized that a spark of life remained, or had re- turned." Aided by a police inhalator squad, which worked unflaggingly for three hours, and by a nurse who injected heart stimulants, Dr. Goodwin finally restored Mrs. Fut terman's ability to breathe by her- self.
