THURSDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE SEVEN Ld 1 BEAUTY FOR YOU - Bad Breath and Its Causes By KRELEN JAMESON No matter how pretty a girl may be, how bright and attractive, if she is afflicted with a bad breath, she is shunned and side-stepped. She is carrying a dreadful hondican that will affect social and business relationships. For a foul breath there is always a reason. While mouth lotions help, the wise step is to see the family physician, who will determine the cause. Nasal disorders, infected ton- sils, sluggish digestive organs may be the source of this unpleasant af- fliction. A medical check-up may reveal some condition of the body that should have immediate atten- tion. Perhaps the teeth are at fault. Careless brushing may. not remove particles of food that have lodged between the teeth. These foreign substances will not only 'make the breath fetid, but will set up a state of fermentation, harboring germs that injure the dentine, cause car- ies, Brushing should be thorough; the teeth should be polished. Casual brushing is not enough. A mouth wash should be used after the , especially at bedtime. If there are spaces between the teeth, it may be necessary te em- ploy dental floss to dislodge bits of food that have been caught between them. Be careful not to saw into the gums. A wound invites infection. To pass by the semi-yearly visit fo the dentist is to be penny wise and pound foolish.' He will remove tartar that cannot be removed by the toothbrush. He will catch cavi- ties when they are young, saving | you time, pain and money. Oral hy- giene is of" the utmost importance. An infection in the teeth or gums can be picked up by the blood streams, carried to other parts of the body, causing serious trouble. Many causes of bad breath may be of a simple nature, not likely to impair the health, but why take a chahce? Why not get at the root of the trouble, be free of it? A single Visit to a physician may discover \ The girl with a bad breath is V shunned. * +P the cause and bring about a cure. Women spend millions of dollars on cosmetics, hair dos, pretty clothes, yet many of them hesitate to seek medical care unless they suffer pain and discmfort. It is senseless. Doctors are willing, these days, to listen to the troubles of their pa- tients, no matter how trifling the plaint may be, because they. under- stand that emotional disturbances can affect the general health and cause unhappiness. And a foul breath is no trifling matter. It may change the current of a woman's life. Nobogly wants her around. She is not welcome in any circle.

I want people in it to like me, . "I like to meet the press. During my lay-off period--when an actor doesn't have to give interviews--I was doing three interviews a day. I tried to co-operate." Shirley said on the "Mr. Belve- dere" set that she has wired the club, asking to appear before it to answer any accusations. he has received no answer. "It must be a misunderstanding, because I've always granfed any interview I've been told about." And there in the above quote may be the source of the controversy. Some producers and their praise agents "protect" their stars by turning down interview requests unbeknownst to the players. That may be why-the lady scribblers are peeved at Shirley.

Children's Toys Will Please Dad This Christmas will be the best one yet for all good little boys and girls if not on pocketbooks. The stores have an abundance of won- derful toys that haven't been avail- able for years. It's said that dad gets just as big a kick out of an electric train 2s junior does--but wait until they both see what's new in "tootsie toys." One, a "tricky taxi" runs all over a table, but when it comes to the edge turns right away--it just won't fall off! Another one has a horn, brakes and a steering wheel all of which are working parts. The latest thing in fire engines is made of plastic with a turn- about collapsible ladder and a howling siren. Grown away out of the tootsie toy class is an automo- bile that will hold a passenger. Operated by pedal-pushing, it is a -|copy of an English roadster and costs just about as much! Dolls, dolls and more dolls--every kind imaginable are ready for motherly little girls.

For the little girl's "family" is a rub- ber bath, an exact duplicate of the one she took her bath in not long ago. A Kari Krib made of soft plastic is a portable bed that can be car- ried over "mother's" arm when tak- ing the doll for a walk. And there are dolls from Italy. Delicately made and exquisitely gowned, they would never "survive rough treat- ment but would make most beau- tiful show-pieces.

This is probably due to the fact that' many men reach such an advanced stage of the' disease before consulting a physician that there is less chance for cure or control than among women. Yet by physical examination the doctor could detect these early signs of cancer in men. Regular examinations should be regarded by a man not merely as a personal obligation to him- self, but as a protection for his -family.

LJ NO matter what changes go on in fashions, how the current of a woman's life may change, her yen for sweet perfume is ever present. Every year there is a tremendous increase in the use of floretted liquids. 'It is nice to carry about with one a pleasant refreshment for the nose, not only one's own nose but the noses of other people with whom one comes in contact. It is one way of expressing good taste, too. You have respect for a wo- man who selects a delicate scent that reminds you of an old fashion- ed flower garden. Modern perfumes are not cloying as they were in the old days when lilac, rose and violet seemed to be the favorites. These new offerings have chic. They are arresting. and provocative. It is distinctly a day of bouquets or blends. Pretty Vial Do you know that, at perfume counters in large department stores, you will find perfumes in bulk, can * * buy an ounce that will be poured into a pretty vial? That makes scent-shopping easy. But, we warn you, don't sniff too many of them or your smelling ability will be nil. Rub a little on your wrist, wait a moment for the alcoholic content to evaporate, take a long, deep breath. Subtle Essences As not enough flowers are grown in the world to supply the perfume demand, chemical agents are em- ployed. They are more lasting than the subtle essences and only an ex- pert can distinguish between them and the garden-grown variety. Just as every season brings new styles in clothes, new arrangement of the glorious crown, new ideas as tc makeup, so do various perfumes have a fling. And how nice it is that all women don't go mad about thte same product! Select what appeals to you, re- gardless of what the cosmetic clerk may say. You have fo live with it and, if it fills the bill, you'll find that it boosts morale. Here's the Recipe, Dated 1394 Of Jack Horner's Christmas Pie Christmas pudding, which is now such an indispensable feature of the Christmas festivities is not a very ancient institution. It gradu- ally came into the Christmas fare in the early years of the 18th century, and according to the Ox- ford Dictionary the very earliest ISisronce to plum pudding is in It developed from the plum por- ridge which used to be eaten at Christmas in earlier days and con- tinued as late. as the beginning of the 19th century. "Plum-porridge", says one account, "was made of a very strong broth of shin of beef, to which was added crumb of bread, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, mace, currants, raisins and dates. It was boiled gently, and then further stremgthened with a quart of can- ary and one of red port; and when served up, a: littlé grape juice or juice of orange was popped in as a zest." Still earlier . Christmas pie used to be a feature of the Christmas of the streptomycin solution. A Physician = Advises You By HERMAN A. RUNDESEN. M.D. INTESTINAL TUBERCULOSIS From the medical point of view we are truly living in a wonderful age. Take, for example, the new drugs we now have available--the antibiotics, such as streptomycin. It has been found that streptomycin is helpful in the treatment of cer- in cases of tuberculosis of the lungs. Recently, it has been tried in patients with tuberculosis of the intestines with hopeful ts. With the passing of tirhe, it has been noted that this drug, when given by injection into a muscle, is in part eliminated through, the 'in- testine. The drug may be adminis- tered by mouth in cases of bowel tuberculosis, because the drug is not affected by the stomach secretion, ~-+ ig it absorbed to any great ex- tent from the bowel, s0 that it can act on germs in the bowel. The treatment also may be carried out by giving the streptomycin in the form of an injection into the lower intestine, Proper Amount Dr. N. Markoff, of Switzerland, has treated patients with tuber- culosis of the bowel by an entra oper amount of streptomycin is pert in about a pint of 'salt solution. The injections were given daily for from 14 to 15 days. All of the patients also received injec- tions of the streptomycin into a muscle. Just which type of treat- merit should be used in any case of intestinal tuberculosis depends up- on the part of the bowel affected. Two effects of the treatment were noted in the intestinal tuberculosis. First, there is improvement in the general condition, a decrease in fever, and better appetite. Second- ly, there is an effect on the ulcers in the bowel, which are produced by the tuberculosis infection. These ulcers seem'to heal and the symp- toms due to the ulcers disappear. Blocking of the bowel due to the irritation produced by the ulcers, and diarrhea ,which is often pres- ent, also clear up, and the patient often regains normal bowel habits. Causes No Reactions The treatment causes no reac- tions or noticeable after-effects. After a few days of treatment, the patients, as a rule, showed striking improvement in their symptoms, and, if their condition improves, this improvement lasts for over a period of six months. Unfortunately, the treatment has not produced a complete cure in any case. On the other hand, the benefits obtained in relieving symp- toms seemsto be greater than those produced by any other known form of treatment. Hence, in tubercu- lous bowel infections this treatment with streptomycin is well worth while employing. Of course, the physician will de- cide in each instance when the streptomycin should be employed, and in what form it should be ad- ministered and over how long a period. BEFORE THE INCAS Rude stone circles found by Lake Titicaca in Peru are supposed to have been built by the Aymaras and date before the Inca empire. feasting and here is a recipe from a manuscript of 1394: "Take a pheasant, a hare,' a capon, two partridges, two pigeons and two conies: chop them up, take out as many bones as you can, and add the livers and hearts, two kidneys of sheep, forcemeal made into balls with eggs, pickled mushrooms, salt, pepper, spice and vinegar. Boil the bones in a pot to make good broth; put the meat into a crust of good paste made craftily into the like- ness of a bird's body; pour in the liquor, close it up and bake well; and so serve it forth with. the head of one of the birds at one end and a great tail at the other, and divers of his large feathers set cunningly all about him." : : : : ; 3 : | | Th Parfum Extraordinaire... crystal clear flacons 6.50, 10.00 to 60.

CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs. Beeckman: I am an invalid, and as I am unable to get to church, our pastor comes to visit me once a month at my home, I would like very much to send him a Christmas card, but I am in doubt as to the signature I should use on it. Should it be from my husband as well as my- self? Mary and John Robinson, or Mr. and Mrs. John Robinson? Also please tell me how I should sign a Christmas card to my doctor and his wife? M. E. R. The Christmas card to your pas- tor should be signed with your name and your husband's name . . . the informal names, since the names are a signature. Mary and John Robinson is the customary form of signature. But if you are signing the names, you may consider it more courteous (and it really is) to sign your name last: John and Mary Robinson. (However, most men prefer to have the wife's name appear first in the signature.) Either sequence of the informal name is correct. The form of name that is NOT correct to sign is the formal name, Mr. and Mrs. John Robinson. The same mname-signature ap- plies to the you send to your doctor and his e. Her Husband Has the Right Idea of Courtesy to Guest Dear Mrs. Beeckman: . My husband always lights a wom- an guest's cigarette first and then lights mine. I have noticed that other men give this attention to their wives first, unless the guest is an elderly woman. Will you please tell us which is the correct way to do it? LL. K. Your husband's way is the cour- teous way. As host, he makes this courteous gesture to a.~woman guest first. And I am sure that he just naturally takes it for granted that you, as hostess, would want him to light first the cigarette of a guest in your home. As a matter of fact, in practically all gestures- of-hospitality to a guest in one's home, the guest-first procedure is a good, safe idea .. . lighting her cigarette first, having her served first at table, and so forth. When the Surname Ends in Dear Mrs. Beeckman: Our name ends in double-s . . "gn like Foss, for example. When we sign our name to our Christmas cards, as we are planning to do, should the name be writien "The Fosses" or "The Foss'?" Reader. "The Fosses' is correct. The -es added to the name forms the plural. The apostrophe after the name in- dicates the possessive case. For ex- ample: (plural) "The Fosses live here'; but (possessive) "This is the Foss's house." My suggestion is that you sign your cards "Mary and John Foss" or "John and Mary Foss." And if the names of children are to be in- cluded in the signaturé, "John and Mary and Polly and Tommy." or "The Fosses, all four .. . John and Mary and Polly and Tommy." The Bride's Attendants May Be Married or Unmarried Dear Mrs, Beeckman: My cousin has invited me to be a bridesmaid at her wedding. Most of my friends insist that it is not cor~ rect for me to be a bridesmaid, as I am married. They tell me the only thing I can be is matron of honor. Is this so, Mrs. Beéckman? RW: «No. The idea that bridesmaids should be unmarried friends of the bride was abandoned years ago! To- day bridesmaids may or may not be married . . . they are chosen by the bride from her relatives and most intimate friends, girls to whom she is particularly devoted. So by all means accept this thrilling invita- tion! (Mrs. Beeckman will be glad to answer-questions.)
