Our Trip To Europe

By Helen M. Jack (Continued)

In direct line with the Arch of Triumph is the Carrousel Arch of Triumph, also erected to commem-

orate Napoleon - a smaller arch capped with a roman chariot drawn by four horses. Connect-

iing these two arches is the fam- ,ous Champs-Elysees, one of the lwidest and busiest streets in Paris. vlincd with commercial buildings, de luxe shops and restaurants and first class theatres. '

i Following the Champs-Elysees .one comes upon the Place de la lconcorde (Revolution Square for- ,merly) which is called the Pride of Paris because of its spacious fdlmensions and harmony. To us, trying to get through the contin- ,ual maze of traffic, it was a lnightmare.

l In line with the Carrousel Arch lis the Louvre Palace covering 600.- 000 square feet, renowned for its artistic treasures. The artistical- ly minded could probably spend a ,week in this building. but We were content with a quick glance. noting particularly the "Venus de

Milo" and the 'Mona Lisa" I I O The Pantheon. dedicated to the Patron Saint of Paris (St. Gen-

evievci is topped with a harmon- ious cupola with a colonnade in the. foreground. Under the main floor are buried many of the fa- mous French - Voltaire. Victor Hugo, Emile Zola, Rousseau and many others.

In the heart of Paris is the

Opera House, the biggest theatre in the world, beautifully adorned with golden bronze ornaments. Unfortunately, ue were unable to get tickets for the Opera and so didn't have the opportunity of seeing the inside which we were told was so beautiful. I The famous cathedral "Notre ,Dame de Paris" is an imposing istructure on Cite Island, of fine ,Gothic architecture somewhat re- lsembllng Westminster Abbey. The 'ceillng of the cathedral is in the shape of an upset boat and hang- 'in;; from this roof are the hats of all the cardinals, and their tombs line the choir loft.

The Night Club section of Paris is known as the "Montmartre." Asleep through the day except for a few artists. the cabarets. theatres. and dance halls are a blaze of lights at night. x At some of the smaller cabarets. entertain- ers will drop in and entertain and after passing around the hat will pass on to the next place. The Lido, one of the larger night clubs, has a two hour floor show mostly of half nude dancing girls. which apparently is the type of entertainment most popular to 'Parisians.

I I

A short distance from Paris is the City of Versailles, with its beautiful Palace. The Palace. planned by Louis the XIV. is sur- rounded by elaborate flower gar- dens and lawns. with fountains throughout. The interior. with its beautifully pairlted ceilings. tap- estries and bas-relief work. repre- sents years of work. Numerous paintings are in almost every room. The table on which the Treaty of Versailles was signed is also in the Palace.

South of Paris. passing through France's largest forest, is the Palace of Fontainbleau. second to Versailles among the royal resid- ences of France.

BOILS

AND SPREAD FROM NOSE INFECTIONS

Most individuals during their lifetime have had a boil. This in- fection is taken to mean that they have been eating too much food for the amount of work or exercise taken. have allowed themselves to become constipated or have not been as careful about bathing ra- gularly as they should have been. We are told that the sreatest pre- ventative for boils is constant cleanliness of the back of the neck. the armpits and the anus and genital organs. The back of the neck is the most frequent place, in men. for bolls to occur.

A ball is an inflammation of the deeper layers of the skin, usually around a hair root or-an oil gland. The commonest organism found in boils is the pyogenes (pus form- ing) aureus, a ' staphylococcus or- ganlsm.

A boil gives us a vivid picture of how nature sends its white cor- puscles (disease fighters) immed- iately to the scene of an infection. They surround the spot where in- fection starts by a hard white wall which we can see as we look close- ly at a boil. This wall is to wall off the infection so that it will not spread to other parts. The soft dark center finally breaks down and thin pus comes out. Finally, the center or dead part. the core, comes out and the boil hi-als.

The treatment to hasten the cure of the boil is application of equal parts of laundry soap and brown sugar or an ordinary bread Doultice. When ”rlpe," E toothpick dipped in carbolic acid punctures the central spot and the boil opens up "and discharges its con- tents. At no time is the boil squeezed, but drawing the skin away with thumb and fingers will help to empty the boil.

It may come as a surprise to many of us to learn that many bolls are started because of the hands carrying infections from the nose to various parts of the skin. This is stated by Drs. G.P.B. Whitwell and Ian Suiherland in the British Medical Journal. The hand contaminates the nose or the nose contaminates the hand and causes bolls. The distribution of balls to various parts of the skin. all or most of which can be reached by the fingers, would ap- pear not only to cause boils on the lndivldual's own skin but may also distribute the organisms in tow- els or other objects handled.

Washing our hands often may prevent bolls.

For Tomorrow

IT is probable thatvsome curl- ous and extraordinary event or occurrence may have a profound effect on thoughts. feelings and emotions. The condition might be one of elation. with the inner forces and faculties prompting to unusual actions. inspirational, intuitive. It is advised that such exceptional mood or drive be man- aged with prudence and discretion. since it would be easy to become

involved in some inexplicable, oven sinister entanglement. Manage strange affairs object-

ively. For the Birthday

Those whose birthday it is, may be prepared to cope with some strange or unique situations. with the inner forces and faculties pitched to curious adventures or experiences. These could be, safely and spectacularly, kept within the bounds of reason and discre- tion. even though based on sub. jective revelations, sensations or emotions. Rigid guards should be employed, lest inspiration. psychic urge; or occult promptings lure into dangerous entanglements. Keep the feet on the ground although the head be in the high heavens. Religion and sound phu. osophy could mean safety.

A child born on this day is born under a strange. unique and in. tangible state of mind and emo- tions, with curious spells of ela- tion. illumination, psychic urges. Kent in rigid leash. negative drives and influences could he handled with safety and pr-u. dence.
