Paint Brushes

One should choose a bristle brush when applying shellac; for Japan colors, a squirrel hair or camel's hair brush. For lacquer, flowing brushes made of oxhalr, fltch or badger prove most effect- ive. When using paint or varnish, soft flat brushes of Chinese bris- tles, men or badger are best. Keep a varnish brush for varnish only.

To Mend Glass

Glass may be mended with a cement made by dissolving shellac in enough alcohol to make a mix- ture of the consistency of molas- ses. This cement will resist ordin- ary wear, but should be kept out of very hot water.

Storing Furs

when storing furs. buy twist tobacco, sprinkle it over the furs and then wrap them in newspap- er. It will not retain the odor as much as moth balls.

THE SILENT INTERVAL OF

CANCER. OF STOMACH AND ESOPHAGUS

Frequently considerable t i in e elapses before a cancer patient consults his physician. Then the physician must make certain tests," sometimes food tests and later X- ray films or use of fiuoroseope. All this takes time and in cases of stomach cancer, treatment- surgery, radium, X-rays-may be too late to save life.

In order that the physician may the American Cancer Society, Inc., 1185 Published a booklet of 112 pages called "Early Recognition of Cancer", and placed it in the hands of all physicians. In Can-4 ada, it is distributed by National Cancer Institute of Canada.

As cancer of the stomach and esophagus is apt to remain un- recognizable by the patient and possibly by the physician because of its mild or "silent" symptoms, the booklet will fill a real need while our research workers are trying to mid the cause of cancer. is written by Dr. Owen H. Wangensteen, professor of surgery and head of the department of surgery. University of Minnesota

-Medical School.

"Evidence is beginning to indi- cate that the onset of symptoms in esophagus. stomach, small and large intestine cancer lags far behind the beginning of the can- cer. It appears that evidences of cancer are present.for approxim- ately twenty months beforc symp- toms occur," writes Dr: Wangen- steeii. From a number of reports. he concludes that this interval (between evidences and symptoms) is about six months.

Also,.a number of patients who have had cancer removed from the stomach and in whom it was be- lieved a complete operation had been done, but in whom cancer was found later, give convincing evidence on the point of the length of the silent interval. These people appear to be completely well for a period averaging twenty months."

The lesson to be learned, in the opinion of Dr. Wangensteen, is that all patients with superflcirl spreading cancer should have the whole stomach removed, not just the part. apparently affected. This total removal of the stomach should be undertaken within a few weeks after the first opera- tion.

Always remember that early treatment of cancer brings about cures. Cancer treated late is usu- ally not curable.

The plot revolves around the character Miss wyman portrays, that of a World war 1 widow who loses her baby at birth and leaves the hospital facing the problem of earning her own living. In p, mm- Dorary job she becomes a nurse- maid for a motherless y ngster. and much to her surpi-lse'lhe finds real happiness in being of service to the children of others. The col- or of her costume as a nurse maid gives significance to the title.

As the years go by she takes on One young "client" after another. and devotes herself entirely to each one's welfare, neglecting more than one chance at romance and marriage. How her lifelong career of self-sacrifice comes to a sur- prlsing and warmly dramatic cli- max is developed in the appealing fl .

Over-ysensliive Mother

Daughter Must Be Firm In This Difficult Situation-

DEAR MISS DIX: The situation I am about to outline has me completely distraught. I am a business woman in my middle forties -and can truthfully say 1 don't look it-with a comfortable home and a fine husband. The difficulty is my mother, who lives with us.

Her tender little feelings are strung out every- where. She assumes the right to read my mail, go through my belongings, greet our guests and bid them goodniyit.-no matter what the hour. If a woman friend drops in to see me, mother is right on hand to drink in every word of the conversa- tion. We have assured her that the last thing we want is to make a prisoner of her in her own room, but a little privacy now and then would be very desirable for us. ,

She insists that she, and she alone, must be responsible for our housekeeping. Since ours is a large house, obviously she cannot care for it ade- quately, hence it is usually nbt very clean or tidy. If I suggest a cleaning woman, we have red eyes . and sighs for days on end. If I try to houseclea myself, the some routine ensues. So to avoid dlssenslon, I let things go.

Mu rial N lain

If you suggest that I put my foot down, I have tried it, with the result that I felt like a heel watching mamma go around teary- eyed. When my husband is at home she's not so bad. as he has good nerves and can jolly her along. When I'm alone with her, as I fre- quently am since my” husband is a traveling man. every move I make brings on a "bitterly hurt" attack. What can I do? ELFRIDA M.

ANSWER: A hypersensitive person is a most difficult type to deal with, chicfly'because we seldom admit the real cause for the trouble. These people are excellent actors, who have thoroughly learn- ed the value of a tear. They are, in addition, selfish, determined pople who will hrook no intrference in their own self-directed sphere of action. invariably, however, their victims accept their tender feel- ings at face value and will do anything to avoid a scene that is bound to end with tears, sulks rind recriminotlons. The success of their tac- tics is almost always as thorough as those of your mother. A house- hold unforiunate to include, as one of its members, an easily wound- ed woman. automatically revolves around her and seldom does a courageous rebel emerge with sufficient ammunition to quell the at- tack.

DBASTIC MEASURES NEEDED

Nothing-but nothing--except the most drastic measures can free a family from the leechllke hold of s pseudo-sensitive soul.

Your very fine letter, which I have somewhat condensed. conveys quite clearly the desperation of your own domestic problem. It will never be alleviated by simple measures. You'll'have to be harsh to bring your mother back to normalcy. Why a woman with the fine home and family she has can't be satisfied to accept her good fortune without demanding the full reins of authority. is a puzzle-and un- fortunately, not an uncommon one.

My advice, I know. is much easier to give than to follow. but for the sake of your own health and reason, your authority in the house- hold must be asserted. If momma accepts it with tears, let her cry it out. She will get over it, I assure you. The very best course for you would be to set her up in her own household, a procedure which. though expensive, is well worth the money, and in your case probably feasible. 'Slnce you have a good job, and your husband p. has, no great financial difficulty would be encountered. If that idea is too drastic, keep your mother with you, but remember that the tears are spurious. the demand for attention real. Insist on privacy when you have guests, and insist on your right, as manager of the house, to have it kept as you want it.

Had you given me your name and address. I would have written you personally-perhaps my reply would have been good for mother's prying eyes!

DEAR MISS Dix: Last summer I met' as fine young man with whom I am now going steady. He is devoted, considerate and pos- sesses many fine qualities. However. I have become aware of one habit I find frksome and irritating. For no apparent reslon. and with no justification. he frequently lnlects little white lies into our con- versation. They are of no importance, but have aroused a feeling of distrust in me. I don't know whether to ignore it, or casually int- imate that I know he is fibblng.

ERNESTINE E.

ANSWER: Many people who have never felt of any importance to anyone adopt this fibbing program to raise themselves in their own estimation and. they assume. in that of others. It's.a childish form of exhibitionism end. of course, the best way to cure it is to remove the feeling of inferiority from the flbber. By letting your friend know that he is important to you as he is, he may lose the impulse to lie in order to hold your attention. Casual reference to the fact .tlist you know he is stretching the truth will be helpful. If the habit sn- noys you too much, better postpone the wedding until you think you have it licked.
