Woman Suffered 10 'Years
"Sinee coming here from Eng-
land 10 years ago," writes a mar-
ried woman, "1 have suffered bad-
ly from rheumatic pains. 1 bought
medicine, lotions, liniments, and
Wee taken concoctions until 1 was
tired spending itiy money. 1 heard
df Krusehen salts so often, that 1
thought one day l'd try that. 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.

How Can 1?
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.

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

CAN FORECAST COLDS
The vitamin A in the eyes,
which helps seeing at night, also
forecasts colds and dry skin. 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.

6. --What is the correct phrasing
to be used on an engraved card
announcing an engagement?
Answer's:
1. No; the card is sufficient, as
good wishes and congratulations
are offered at the reception. 2. No;
the hands should be kept in the
lap. 3. An evening dress Would be
the next best thing to wear. 4. Yes;
one should always do so, unless
some unusual circumstance pre-
vents. Then one should wire his
hostess, stating when he will ar-
rive. 5. It is not at all necessary
to do so. 6, It is not proper to use
this type of card.

r A man bought a parrot and tried
to teach it to talk. Going over to
the bird, he repeated for several
minutes the words, "Hello, hello.'"
At the end of the lesson the par-
rot opened one eye and answered
drowsily, "Line's busy".

Flying over the Bay of Naples,
an air pilot turned to his passeng-

phrase, 'See Naples and Die'?"

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-

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

"There's grit for you." comment-
ed Brown, "at death's door — and

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.
