Treating Colds By New Method By HUMAN N. BUNDISM. MB. MANY of tho Important medical discoveries of the past have been made by chance and it may be that history will repeat itself today. I have told yon earlier of the great amount of reaearch vainly devoted to the common cold during recent years. While this unsuccessful quest has been going on, it seems possible that a Washington, D.C., physician has stumbled on what may prove to be a quick and easy remedy for this widespread disorder. Interesting Story Tha story is an interesting one. While treating a patient for an allergy which caused internal symp toms, Dr. John M. Brewster noted that a sold which the patient had contracted during the treatment was warded off. Tha drug being used against the allergy was one of the so-called anti histamines known as benadryl. In allergie disorders, such as asthma and hay fever, it it believed that the eubetanee to which the patient is sensitive causes the formation in the body of excessive amounts of a eubetanee known as histamine. This accounts for the fact that anti-hist amines relieve the symptoms. Allergie Reection Believing, along with a good many ether physicians, that many so called common colds are at least in part doe to an allergic reaction, Dr. Webstar decided to try the benadryl on all patients developing colds. In all more than 100 were so treated. Be found that in every case the moat annoying symptoms of colds were either removed or controlled. The watery discharge from the nose was lessened; coughing, particu larly in ehildren, was diminished, and fever blisters were warded off if the drug was taken immediately after their first appearance. More over, the drug had a sedative or quieting effect, producing sleep which was thoroughly refreshing. One Out ef Ten From the studies thus fmr made, H appears that benadryl will com pletely ward off colds in about one ease in ten. In the remainder, it gets lid of the watery discharge from the nee*. It does not have any edict In preventing sinus infection ones the cold hat fully developed, nor does it have any value in reducing fever. When the infection in the nos* was due to streptococcus or pneu mococcus, no attempt* were mad* to tract the condition with benadryl. It is possible that many colds caused by a virus could be warded off by early treatment with the benadryl. To be effective, however, it should be taken at the first sign of sere ne** at th* back part of the nose and swelling of the lining mem brane ef th* nos*. Drag Given Once Th* dose of th* preparation of course must be recommended by the physieian and taken only under his direction. Th* drug is administered only one*, in most cases, but may be repeated once at bedtime. No harmful effects were noted with th* treatment. Since th* preparation tends to make th* patient sleepy, it should net be used when a person is going te drive a ear or us* some type ef potentially dangerous machine. This treatment for colds seems so promising that further studies should b* mad* to determine its ex act value. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS A. M. K-: My sister has head ache* all th* time.

Start cooking by browning in small amount of fat, pricking and turning frequently to allow fat to run out.4 By MARION CLYDE McCARROLL DUCK makes a fine dinner any day in the week. But when it’s the feature of the Sunday dinner table, or a company meal, it's nice to give it a special touch. It needn't be anything that makes the dish harder or more time-consuming to prepare. On the contrary, a recipe like the following one for Duck a l’Orange is actually less trouble, since the vegetables are cooked right along with the duck, making most of the main course ready all at the same time. You 11 prob ably want to serve potatoes—perhaps fluffy mashed ones—too. duck a i/OKANOli Remove pin feathers from 2 medium-sized ducks, clean and cut in quarters. Brown in small amount of fat in your Dutch Oven. Prick and turn frequently to allow fat to run out. Season with ‘A tsp. salt, dash pepper, 1 bay leaf, crum bled, and a pinch of thyme. Add 2 tbsp. boiling water, cover and cook for 1 hour. Remove cover, add 1 lb. white onions, 1 bunch carrots, 1 peeled and sliced orange and 1 tbsp. grated orange peel. Cover again and cook for 45 minutes or longer, until duck and vegetables are tender. i Remove duck and vegetables to serving platter and keep hot. Then skim off fat from liquid remaining in Dutch Oven, add 3 tbsp. currant jelly and z/2 c. orange juice. Simmer until juices thicken, then pour over duck. This recipe should make 8 servings. If you haven’t a good Dutch Oven already, you’ll find money spent on one an excellent investment. For example, cooking the j duck in one with a triple thick bottom gives it a deliciously crisp all-over brown and permits braising it with very little liquid. The vegetables, too, will have a special, piquant flavor because they're cooked in the savory steam from the duck, I LOVE’S PERILOUS PATH * * * In Spite of His Wound, Dicky Manages to Put Up a Brave Front Until Katharine Arrives Synopsis: Arriving at Dieky Graham * penthouse studio and finding that ne has been wounded by a prowler now captured. Philip Veritaen, owner of the Hotel Lans flald, suggests that Dicky’a wife. Madge, ulaphona Katharina BieVett. nurse and eloee friand also living In tha hotaL ‘ Dicky is «uite ill. Katharina."

It always calls up visions of an old man with white whiskers, stooped double and clutching at his spinal muscles.” “It’s a perfectly good word,” I said placidly, “and Katharine under stands it perfectly.” Enlightenment came into both his eyes and those of the distressed dean of Broadway impresarios. “Aha!” Dicky said, “I under stand. The code de luxe of the mes damea Graham and Bickett.” “Clever work!” Philip Veritzen said. "And now, that you’re back in charge of your husband, I’ll speed Winters on his way.” Lock Was Working He went towsrd the door near which Winters was waiting, aent him through it, and closed it after him, assuring himself that the lock was working. Then he came back to us. “Is there anything I can do, Madg??” he asked anxiously. “Perhaps—a glass of water,” I said, seeing hie anxiety to atone for hit thoughtlessness in demanding an explanation of the situation from Dicky while he was suffering. “There's a carafe in the refrigera tor,” I added. Dieky's mouth twisted into a grin whieh held more pain than mirth. “ ‘Jest afore Christmas, he’s as good as he ean be/ ” he quoted, end I held up a protesting hand eve I as I smiled at his nonsense. Household Hint A good many home accidents hap pen on stairs. Remember that stairs should not be made into storage places for books, toys or boxes. There should be hand railings on both sides of open stairways, and single railings for closed stairways. If stair carpets are used, check to be sure they are firmly anchored. A Sequel to love's Fair Horizon By ADELE GARRISON “Suppose you copy him!” I said, and from some unplumbed depths of courage, he managed another grin. “Okay!” he said, and when Philip came back with the glass of water, Dicky drank it thirstily, then lay back and dosed his eyes. “Is this all right, Teacher?” he murmured, and I did not know j whether I wanted to laugh or to weep as I answered him. “Perfectly all right,” I said, and Philip Veritzen’s downward glance at him was affectionate and anxious. “He’d jest if he were walking to the electric chair,” he said. I nodded, but put my finger against my lips, and neither he nor I spoke again until the knocker sounded, and he went to the door. I looked anxiously at Dicky, wonder ing whether he were asleep, or in a swoon, when he opened his eyes, and looked quizzically at me. “I’m neither,” he said with the uncanny knowledge of my thoughts which is sometimes his. “Well! one thing is certain,” 1 told him, with my anxiety lessening, “you aren't going to die within the next half hour. You’re altogether too ornery.” “Don’t bother with me, Katrina,” Dicky said, as Katharine, in her uniform and carrying a case in her hand, came up to the couch. “Just tako this young-un, and give her a hypo that’ll keep her tongue from wagging for an hour or two. She’s altogether too fresh.” “I’ll attend to her ease later,” Katharine told him, as »h« began to unfasten the hlood-soaked band age on his arm. “Pain pretty bad?” she asked, as she taw him wince. “I —n stand it,” Dicky said. ''I’m not doubting that,” the said with a grin. “I’m wondering if Madge can.” Then her xoice changed as she looked et the smell wound in his arm from which blood still was oozing. “Did It hit the bone, Dicky?” she asked. (Continued tomorrow) By IDA BAILEY ALLEIH WE celebrate Columbus Day in ;he United States without realizing that it is an even more important loliday to peoples south of the Rio Srande. From the Gulf of Mexico to the tip of South America, this loliday is known as “El dia de la raza”, (the day of the race). All schools and business houses are rlosed. And in the homes a special festival menu is prepared. I had an opportunity to enjoy som. of these festival foods at !unch on board the good ship Santa Paula, which had just returned back to port from a Caribbean cruise. It is a “friendly” and beautiful ship, most unusual in the way it is laid jut. The kitchen is on the top deck, so all odors of cooking are blown sut to sea. The dining salon is on the promenade deck, huge windows overlooking the ocean on each side, snd at night a large section of the high ceiling is rolled back, so you literally dine under the stars. Umbrella-Topped Tables Luncheon started with appetizers served in the lovely club room; other guests were being served at um brella-topped tables around the swimming pool. The hors d’oeuvres were beautifully arranged in match ing, small oblong glass dishes placed on a tray; smoked pork, paper-thin slices of sausage, sturgeon and smoked salmon, and delicious liver IN PREPARING DUCK A I'ORANGE—i special treat for Sunday or company dinner—the duck is first cooked for an hour.

Next came a wonderful chicken soup Chilean style, containing diced chicken and a variety of seasonable vegetables; it was garnished with small potato bails, two to a plate. After this came a delectable casse role, served with a simple salad. For dessert there was ice cream and a tray of fascinating pastries. Many Latin American dishes seem elaborate because they call for a good many ingredients. But read the recipes carefully, and you’ll .find that many are on your spice shelf; and that the main ingredients are usually inexpensive foods such as fowl, pork, fish, eggs, stewing beef, dried beans and fresh vege tables, especially potatoes and corn. Tomorrow will be Columbus Day. So I thought you might like to serve a Latin American dinner to your family. In the test-kitchen the Chef has standardized a group of special dishes I’m sure you will enjoy, in cluding the unusual chicken casse role served at luncheon on the Santa Paula.

SOME children in the eerly ) ; grades, who have no trouble at learning to read or at doing number work; and some other children of the upper grades or high school are poor spellers. Here are some sug gestions : Have the child’s vision tested. If he is in the early grades he may not know all the letters of the alphabet. He may confuse some of them, as p and q or d and b. If he does, show no surprise, avoid making him feel ashamed. Patiently help him clear | - up such matters, and don’t expect to accomplish this all at once. Elemental Sounds Practice him on some of the ele mental sounds in words like rat, mat, cat; bone, atone, cone: blow, crow, slow; chain, chair, child. Point out to him that some worda are not spelled quite as they sound, whose correct spelling just have to be learned by heart. When he attacks a word of more | than one syllable, show him how to break it up into syllables. Always the word he is learning to spell should be printed or written legibly. It will help him to nave eacn word , to spell appear alone on a eard or page. Sometimes children above the third grade bring home a list of spelling words which they have cop ied from the board at school, and may have written these words illeg ibly, even have spelled some of them wrong while copying them. Print or write these words for the j child so as to make sure he won't learn to spell them wrong. Avoid Haete Regardless of the child's age, try to get him to attack each word slowly and carefully. Nearly always the poor speller is in great haste. He may not even spell the word correctly as he carelessly looks at it. He may try himself out before he has learned it. repeating its ^ spelling inaccurately. Do all you can to keep him from ever spelling a word wrong. Have him look at the word and pronounee it, then name its letter in correct order; pronounce the word again and name its letters in proper sequence, still carefully load ing at the word; and do like,, u several more timea before tryingtp spell the word from memory. It n»y, help him to write the word while looking back and forth at it before Jl trying to apell it. But it would be hazardous for him ever to write it wrong. Few at a Tima Guide him to study each word over and over till he can spell it right, before going to another word. Better for him to attack threa or four words an evening and really learn them than to work at a long list of them and get some wrong. It is always better to master a few than to mess over many. * When your older child is doing written home work and asks you to spell a word for him, gladly spell it, even if you must yell the spelling from a distant room. If necessary look it up in the dictionary. Don’t tell him to do so else he may merely guess at it. Anyway, your readiness to help him can provide good en couragement and comradeship and render him more eager to bt careful about his spelling. (My “Home Helps for Poor Spellers" may be had in a stamped envelope; also similar helps on reading and arith The Secret of Good Skin Care By HELEN FOLLETT IT is part of a woman's life bust- j j ness, and it should be her pleasure, to treasure youthfulness and good looks.
