SiiARP PAINS SHOT THROUGH^KNEES Woman Suffored 10 Yeurt "Since coming here from Ensr- land 10 years ago," writes a mar- ried woman, "I nave suffered bad- ly from rheumatic pains. I bought Sedicine, lotions, liniments, a/id ive taken concoctions until I wtk* ttred spending my money. I heard «f Kruschen Salts so often, that I thought one day I'd try that. By this time my knees were frequeni- if full of terrible pains. I boiight s bottle of Kruschen, and took a teaspoonful every morning. It kad no effect. But my husband said "Fersevere! Give it a chance to act.' Well, I did and before long qiy knees were nearly normal. I kept on, and believe me I am not ' nke the same woman. I walked four miles the other day and felt line, whereas before I could hard- ly walk across the floor." â€" (Mrs.) E. A. What more need be said about the relief that Kruschen Salts can bring to sufferers from the pains and stiffness of rheumati.tm.

Be Crazy By 2139 People of This Continent Have A Bad Caae of the Jitters, Doctor Proclaims Q. â€" How can I protect the plaster when driving a tack Into the wall? A.â€" 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.â€" How can I stop hiccoughs? A.â€" One method Is to sit erect and Inflate the lungs fully; then, still retaining the breath, bend tor- 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. Qâ€" How can I make wallpaper stick on whitewashed walls? A. â€" Whitewashed walls should be washed thoroughly with strong vinegar before attempting to apply This continent has such a bad caaa of the jitters that there won't ha a sane person around in 2139, David Seabury, New York psychol- ogiat and author said here. Speak- ing at Ford Hall Forum. Boston, lait week, he cited statistics from the EogUsh Academy of Medicine to tupport thU contention. He said almost as many people entered In- sane asylums each year as entered ooUsges. "The 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 tact 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. Any mother who says to a child, 'Mother knows best,' is »n autocrat." A new floating dock for Durban, South Africa, is on the way from England. Three Die, Ten Saved, As Flying Boat Plunges Into Atlantic Two passengers and one member of the crew of the I .iipcrial .\irways flying boat Cavalier were ihowr.cii when the ^iant ship was forced down at sea during: its rciju!ar flight from Port Washington, N.Y., to Uonr.iidn. The Cavalier, TOP, sank ten minutes after iced carburc nns in all four engines forced her down. Ten survi- vors of the fatal plunge were rescued, after spending 11 hours at the mercy of the sea, by the tanker Esso Baytown, BOTTOM. What Science * Is Doing * 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. B. 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 involve."! new methods of transmission and re- <|uires specially-designed receiv- ing-sets with a much shorter wave- ranjre â€" 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. Every time an cyo 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 bo.\, which amplifies to turn a counter. The meter i.s based on a fundn- mental scientifu: disL-ovcry that blinks are nature's sure sign and yardstick of eye strain. Man's Life Span Not Any Longer Although More Children Bern Today, Live, Medical Science Has Not Yet Increased Span Of Life. Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE FROZEN GASOLINE "Frozen" airplane gasoline that won't i.crnite under a blowtorch was demonstrated at Roosevelt Fielrf. New York, last week, as a solution to one of flj-ing's greatest flro hazards. The g.^solinc, while not frozen solid, is reduced by an alcohol and dry mechanism to about 150 de- grees below zero Fahrenheit, where it does not jrivo off enough vapor to catch fire. EYE-BLINK COUNT IMPORTANT An pye comfort meter, which reads how human eyes feel and •hows what is tiring them, is be- ing perfected. The meter almost literally "ticks." It counts the blinks of the eyes. Two bits of metal, too Mght to feel, are .^tuck near the •yes. Wire* connect them with a klack box. . 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 than 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. He 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 Urigadicr-General H. B. Kennedy, of Knightsbriiige, England, thinks she has the long- est fingernails in Mayfair-â€" or any- where else.

No; the hands should bo kept In the lap. 3. .\n evening dress would be the next bes: 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. B. It Is not at all necessary to do so. 6. It is not proper to use this type of card. I 'heARD ] A man bought a parrot and tried to teach It to talk. Going over to the bird, he repeated for seTeral minutes the words, "Hello, hello." At the end of the lesson the par- rot opened one eye and answered 4rowilly, ''Line's busy". New Winter's Come, the frigid thing, Hew far behind, pray tell, le Spring?

Our heavy undies won't hang out. Flying over the Bay of Naples, an air pilot turned to his passeng- er and said: "Have you heard that phrase, 'See Naples and Die'?" "Yes," said the passenger. "Well," said the pilot, "take a good look â€" the propeller's come off." A Scottish teacher set his clase writing an essay on Ar- mletlce, and one little a\r\ pro- duced this sentence: "The Ar- mietlce 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 â€" and still lying." Death Is Like A Deep Sleep Woman "Returns" From Other World â€" Says Death Resem- bles a Good, Long Nap. A 57-year-old Bronx woman who "came 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 â€" 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 Gra:'., Austria, after she apparently had succumbed to after-effects of an attack of asthma. •'I found relatives and friends be- wailing Mrs. Futterman as dead," the physician said. Artificial Respiration Used "I began to administer artificial respirationâ€" IS strokes a minute. Four minutes later I detected a taint breath. The pulse was barely a flicker, but I realized that a spsrk of life remained, or had re- turned." Aided by a police inbalator squad, which worked untlaggingly for three hours, and by a nurse who injected heart stimulants. Dr. Goodwin finally restored Mrs. Ful- terman's ability to breathe by her- self. Singapore will rebuild the high- ways to the big naval base.
