Q. How can I keep teacups from slipping about on the sgucers when passing them to guests.

A. it is a good idea to put a few drops of hot writer into the saucers before placing the cups on them. This will do away with that clattery slipping of the cups when passing them around.

Q. How can I prevent squeaking casters in my furniture?

A. Before inserting the casters. dip the shanks into Vaseline jelly and then slip them into place. This not only prevents squeaks. but also greatly facilitates the rolling of the furniture.

Q. How can I skim grease from the top of soup?

A. Take square sheets of clean white tissue paper. lay one sheet at s time on the surface of the soup, and all the grease will adhere'to the paper.

AIR SWALLOWTNG. AEROPI-IAGIA

I have written before of the hockey player, a great defense man. who before each game had such a severe pain in his stomach that he felt unable to start the game. By use of baking soda and having him expel gas from lower bowel, he was able to play the entire game. This gas pressure in stomach and in- testine was.caused by spells of ner- vousness during which the swallow- ed air. Swallowing too much air is called earophagia.

In the question and answer de- partment of Postgraduate Medicine. a typical case of aerophagia is des- cribed and a request made for best method of treating this embarrass- ing condition. The answer is as fol- lows:

"Individuals who have aeropha- gid frequently complain of passing excessive flatus (gas or wind). the condition caused by air swallowing Aerophagia most frequently occurs in those patients who eat rapidly. smoke. chew gum or tobacco 01 have the nervous habit of gulping.

"Among the foods that produce an excessive amount of gas in the bowel are beans and cabbage, which the patient might refrain from exiting if he wished."

The first thought in the treat- ment of aerophagia or air swallow- ing is to remember that it is due to nervousness. as shown by the mitient's need for gum or tobacco, or eating rapidly. one of the first iliings these air swallowers must learn if they are to be free of air pressure in stomach and bowel is not tolgulp air into stomach. If they can remember their nervous tendency and try to remain calm despite exciting or emotional dis- turbances and breathe deeply and naturally. they will swallow little or no air. Swallowing air is harmless but can cause discomfort and dis- tress.

some years ago I quoted Dr. G. maybe in Minnesota Medicine: "80 per cent of patients complaining of distress in stomach and intestine have symptoms of abnormal full- ness. gas and belching. Swallowing air is normal or natural whenever food. drink and salvia (digestive juice of the mouth) are being swal- lowed. When more than the natur- al or normal amount is swallowed. it is caused by nervousness, emo. tional disturbances and tension." In addition to the fullness and belching, there may be dizziness. dull headache. numbness, tingling

and heartburn.

Pack down until tomatoes are covered with their own juice-using sterile spoon or tamper for this. Be sure there are no air sspaces, but do leave M-inch hcadspace.

For Tomorrow

THE lunar conngurations are in- triguing and challenging. Peculiar. novel and unique factors based on strange hidden elements, schemes. may prove baffling. Perhaps there will .be aspects that are elusive. Re- actions to such intangibles may sti- mulate ihe feelings, emotions and behavior to some sort of abnormal expression. While the intuitions or inner leads are responsible and re- liable, it is probable that certain novel urges may go through. albeit without benefit of superiorst or of executive sanction. although good will is not lacking.

' For the Birthday

Those whose birthday it is are confronted by a year of the novel, strange, intrigiiing and challenging, with much to be gained or lost ac- cording to the wisdom and discret- ion used in appraising peculiar predicaments. offers and conditions. Since the intuitions and inner leads or "hunches" are stimulated. and there are tokens of success or un- usual ventures, experiments, new lures or induigences. there is little hope of cooperation in hazardous or questionable schemes. with rare discretion. dramatic success may elate and exalt.

A child born on this day should possess rare talents. acumen and special skills. with inner guidance or inexplicable urges for a strange career. that white house on the hilltop . . . and the sky is very bluel"
