Accenting the Width
Of a Narrow Room
By RUTH WYETH SPEARS
YAN A Thursday afternoon the
south end of a certain dining
room was as shown here in the
upper sketch. The following Mon-
day it appeared as shown below.
Cupboards had been addi d to dis-
play china and give storage space,
yet the room actually seemed wid-
er and more spacious than before.
The transformation was made
by the handy man with no tools
but a hammer, saw and screw
driver plus the aid of his willing
helper with needle, thread and
paint and a brush. The cupboards
were eight inches deep and made
of one-inch lumber with doors of
plywood for the lower part.

Pull the Trigger on
Lazy Bowels, and
Comfort Stomach, too
When constipation brings on acid in-
digestion, stomach upset, bloating, dizzy
spells, gas, coated tongue, sour taste and
bad breath, your stomach is probably
“crying the blues" because your bowels
don’t move. It calls for Laxative-Senna
to pull the trigger on those lazy bowels,
combined with Syrup Pepsin to save
your touchy stomach from further dis-
tress. For years, many Doctors have used
pepsin compounds as vehicles, or car-
riers to make other medicines agreeable
to your stomach. So be sure your laxa-
tive contains Syrup Pepsin. Insist on
I)r. Caldwell’s Laxative Senna combined
with Syrup Pepsin. See how wonderfully
the Laxative Senna wakes up lazy nerves
and muscles in your intestines to bring
welcome relief from constipation. And
the good old Syrup Pepsin makes this
laxative so comfortable and easy on
your stomach. Even finicky children
love the taste of this pleasant family
laxative. Buy Dr. Caldwell’s Laxative
Senna at your druggist today. Try one
laxative that comforts your stomach, too.

A school inspector entered a

“If a road is 100 yards long and
20 yards broad, how old am I?”
After the usual silence, Johnny put

X-Ray an Aid
In Treating
Sinus Trouble
By DU. JAMES W. BARTON
/SNE day you may read of
U the great success cer-
tain specialists have had in
the treatment of chronic sinus
ailments by use
of X-rays and of
how the clear-
ing up of the
sinus infection
has resulted in -
greatly improved hearing of
the patient. The specialist in
this case has treated a num-
ber of cases and had cured or
helped the majority of them.
Perhaps the next day you read of
another specialist using X-ray treat-
ment in the same
number of cases
without any success
whatever.
Now there would
appear to be some-
thing wrong when
one specialist gets
good results from a
method of treatment
and another gets no
. H satisfactory results
-*■■ whatever.
Dr. E. Trible Gate-
wood, Richmond, in
Archives of Otolaryngology (ear and
throat) reports the study of 22 cases
of chronic sinus infection (sinusitis)
before and after treatment by
X-ray. Four patients of the group
showed complete relief of symptoms
ar.d eight were improved as far
as their symptoms were concerned.
Ten patients were not helped at all.
Why were some of these coses
cured, some improved and others
not helped at all?
Ventilation of Sinus Needed.
It depends upon the condition of
the lining or mucous membrane of
the sinus. When this has become
very thick or hardened, the X-ray
(in the dosage given anyway) was
unable to penetrate or restore it to
normal. If this lining can be re-
stored to normal, the sinus can be
properly ventilated. A well-ventilat-
ed sinus gives no trouble, as the air
destroys harmful organisms and, if
lining is not swollen and thickened,
the sinus can drain properly into
the nose and throat.
Another point about the success
or nonsuccess of X-ray treatment
of sinus infection is that X-ray spe-
cialists are not agreed as to the
“dose” of X-rays that should be
given or how often.
Sufferers with chronic sinus dis-
ease who have tried without suc-
cess all the usual methods of treat-
ment-sprays of adrenalin up the
nose, washing out with salt and wa-
ter, injections of ovary extracts—
can finally try X-ray treatment.

How to Relax
And Go to Sleep
A PHYSICIAN is often asked by
adult patients as to the length
of time they should sleep, and his
answer in most cases is that eight
hours is about right.
Two cases often cited are Thomas
Edison, who slept about four hours
at night, and Woodrow Wilson, who
required nine or ten. Most people
forget that Edison was hard of
hearing, and so when he slept he
was not disturbed by noises low or
loud, strange or familiar.
It is being able to keep body and
mind relaxed that prevents us from
becoming tired too soon. A com-
pletely relaxed body and mind is
getting 80 per cent as much rest
as if it were asleep; that is, from
the standpoint of heart rate, breath-
ing, temperature and blood pres-
sure.
When the physician wants the pa-
tient to relax completely so that
an examination of the abdomen can
be made he asks him to hold his
mouth open and breathe slowly
through the mouth. This relaxes
the body and, to a considerable ex-
tent, the mind also.
Relaxation is the exact opposite
of tenseness. To relax requires no
effort. It means to “let loose,” to
stop doing. In learning to relax a
person learns to recognize tense-
ness wherever it occurs in the body.
By letting each part of the body go
limp or loose—legs, arms, trunk—
one after the other or all together,
tenseness of body disappears and
with it often tenseness or alertness
of mind.
Sometimes when there is no noise,
no light, no draft, no heat or cold
keeping you awake, try lying on ei-
ther side with arms and legs bent
and your mouth loose and open. You
may snore, but you should get off
to sleep.

Q.—Would prostate gland trouble
have any unfavorable congenital ef-
fect on a child? Is it possible to cure
prostate gland trouble?

a specialist is usually necessary.
Sometimes it Is necessary to remove
prostate gland. Don't hesitate to
speak to your family physician
about It.

• In bringing ui buying Information, as
to prices that are bslng asked for
what we Intend to buy, and at to the
quality we can expect, the advertising
columns of this newspaper perform a
worth while service which saves us
many dollars a year.
• It Is a good habit to form, the habit
of consulting the advertisements every
time we make a purchase, though we
have already decided just what we
want and where we are going to buy
It. It gives us the most priceless feeling
In tho world: the feeling of being
adequately prepared.
• When we go Into a store, prepared
beforehand with knowledge of what is
offered and at what price, we go as
an expert buyer, filled with self-confi-
dence. It is a pleasant feeling to have,
the feeling of adequacy. Most of the
unhappiness in tho world eon bo traced
to a lack of this feeling. Thus adver-
tising shows another of Its manifold
facets—shows Itself as an aid toward
making all our business relationships
more secu. ind pleasant.
