Sugar As Medicine
Many year, ago sugar was found
to be very helpful for patients with
gastric stomach ulcer, because it
furnished required energy without
irritating the lesion, The (lain of

when high hiooil sugar levels are
maintained. Another effect of sugar
in this condition is that it quiets

Rug Styles Change
With The .Centuries
Style is just as important to rug
manufacturing as it is to milady's
clothing, and it has been for nearly
30,000 years.
Archaeological evidence shows
that rugs were used as long as 30,-
000years ago, in the Upper Paleon-
tological Period. Of course, such
rugs contained no wool, cotton or.
Jute, to say nothing of nylon. They
were made of bark felt. The oldest
nig still on view was made between
the third and fourth centuries, 13, C.
It is made of black hair felt with a
white border of one side and has
appliqued split -stitch silhouettes of
tits' heads, cut out ai red or .blue
Tilt, in an evenly -spaced row, You
cart see it any time you happen to
be passing the chief museum in
Leningrad and care to drop in.
Unlike most feminine apparel,
modern rug styles don't change with
every spring, but over a longer
period they show a trend of style as
clear and definite as any skirt length
graph would indicate.
"Ingrain" was the carpet vogue of
38111 -- a thin, dark material usually
woven in a narrow width With a
small conventional design. To cover
a large area, housewives had these
narrow strips pieced together end
the end result was an all too perfect
(hist catcher.
Ily 1900, nine feet looms came
into use and a new size, 9 x 12, in
oriental designs awept the market.
But this combination of size and
designers demanded wall-to-wall
carpeting in neutral and solid
colours. Simultaneously, rug con-
cerns met the steed for seamless
earpets by installing 12, 15, and 18
fent "broad looms,"
Today new "tone -in -torte" designs
air popular, several shades of one
Colour woven together to give an
impressionof depth. A variety of
textured weaves ie also used to re-
lieve the flatness of plain carpets and
conceal foot prints.
Old patterns, too, have re -appear-
ed such as coloured florals and
bonespuns to give the modern rug a
wide variety of brilliant colourings
and eye -pleasing designs. Even a
new trick or two have been placed
on the .market. One company has—

to comb out any pattern they Tltvh

Recognition of the above facts in-

the combined efforts of high tent,

humidity, the usual evapor,disn

Atomic Polka Dots
It's amazing how idle chatter ran
lead to fascinating discoveries.
Take, for instance, the case of the
Atomic Bomb and Polka - dot
Dresses, writes Napier Moore.
A neighbor of ours is an emnin-
ent skin specialist. The other day,
watching hint vigorously fork some
elegant -looking manure into his
vegetable garden, we commented on
his energy. This led to a discus-
sion of other forms of energy. Fin-
ally we got to atomic energy.
We said we supposed that by this
time reports covering the effects
on humans of the atonic bombs
dropped on Japan had been cor-
related, and that no doubt, profes-
sionally, he had received mach in-
formation. The doctor said he had.
We asked if there was any crumb
he could bestow upo.. us.
"Well," he said casually, "there
was the matter of the polka -not
dresses."
Our ryes popped at that. He
went Olt to explain. Examination
of victims of flash burns revealed.
that the skins of women wearing
'ka-dot garments were narked
according tb the pattern. That is,
on the skin there were circles
matching the white dots. And those
circles were rot burned as were the
areas covered by colored cloth.
"That was interesting," said the
doctor, "but, of course, fundamen-
tally there was nothing new about
it. You were taught at school that

he must have noticed us fingering

But at least its comforting to

And All Of Them Useful
Prevents Car Accidents. Many
accidents, caused by fogging of car
or truck windshields, might be pre-
vented by the uss of a soft, absor-
bent cloth treated with a special
chemical solution. One wiping keeps
the glass clear for hours. The solu-
tion used in the cloth consists of a
synthetic detergent, tannic acid,
glycerine, water and dye. It is
claimed that the cloth can be used
indefinitely.
Glass Heating Wall. .4 new type
of radiant glass heat wall panel
designed especially for the heating
of single rooms is being introduced.
This panel may be placed anywhere
and attached to existing 110 volt
AC or DC wiring, Unlike regular
panels of this type, which are ther-
mostatically controlled, these tan
be switched on and off.
Repels Rats. A laminated board
designed to be used as an inside
wall in poultry coops, grain bins and
farm -produce store roods. It is a
combination of hardwood veneer
plus an asphalt impregnated fiber
face, It repels rats—in a recent test
the rodents barely scratched the
surface with their teeth.
Easy Car Washing. Sponge for
attachment to garden hose is said
to simplify ear washing and out-
door house cleaning. Sponge is
gripped in bakelite holder and
scrubs away dirt and grit without
marring surfaces. Water, flowing
through, prevents clogging of
sponge pores with grinihe and dirt.
Winterizes Tires, A process for
winterizing auto tires that's claimed
to' reduce winter driving . dangers
involves use 'of a twin -roller tree-
tionizer which punches many holes
in the tread. This is claimed to
increase traction and give greater
resistance on ice -covered highways,
One Man Mixer, A utility mixer
which can be moved •and operated,
by one man and is designed for
mixing concrete, mortar, e t c.
Weight is distributed so as to be

Four -in -one Cultivator. New type
farm and garden power cultivator
which discs, harrows and pulverizes
soil in one operation. Has no wheels
or tracks for support, power being
transmitted direct to actual soil
agitators which carry the 84 -pound
machine. Spikelike prongs are said
to dig ten inches into the soil.
