FUBTIIEB REPORT ON TREAT- MENT OF PSOBIASIS BY UNDECYLENIC ACID

A skin disease frequently found on face and scalp. the cause of which is unknown although it has existed for hundreds of years. is psoriasis. It is distressing because of its unsightly appearance - like pieces of mortar thrown on the skin, a sickly pink colo . composed of groups of pearly scales which bleed when removed.

No skin specialist knows the cause, nor does he know of a posi- tive cure. The answer of one skin specialist would likely go for all. when asked what success he had in treating these cases, he replied. "I advise my patients to get out- doors in the sun as much as pos- sible and many when they return from a winter vacation are free of their psoriasis. However, it soon returns when they live the indoor life."

Some months ago. I recorded the success reported in the Jour- nal of the American Medical As- sociation by Drs. H. ll. Perlman and I. L. Milberg. in the treatment of 17 cases of psoriasis with un- decylenlc acid by mouth. Later these physicians reported 100 cases as follows: good results in two- thirds of cases. great improve- ment in patients with psoriasis and arthritis. and decided relief of itching in 51 per cent. There were reactions from the drug in sev- eral cases but they were consid- ered bolhersome rather than ser- ious.

As psoriasis is A common dis- ease and the cure or rather the disappearance of the eruption may occur without treatment. skin spec- ialists and -patients with psoriasis were naturally anxious to try the tindecylcnic acid as it could be taken by mouth.

Lnfortunately. other skin Spoc- ialists and physicians have not had success with undecylenlc acid and Drs. Herbert Rattner, Chicago. and Harold Rodin, South Bend, in the Journal of the American Medi- cal Association report their results in the treatment of 40 cases of ps- oriasis using some dosage as that prescribed by Drs. Perlman and Milberg. Their results were so dis- appointing that they sent ques- tionnaires to other psysicians and skin specialists who had been using undecylenlc acid for psor- iasis. Unfortunately, most of the observers found their results dis- 8PP01IlUl'l8: eight physicians re- ported fafvorable results, four felt it worth further investigation but 38 found it of no help and that reactions from it were often more than bothersome, actually of a serious nature.

I am recording these unfnvoi-.. able results but if the pendulum swings the other way will duly re- port it, as any method of helping the victims of this embarrassing ailment should be given a. fair trial.

The Experts say i ' By my aax (Canadian Press Staff Writer) . . .

It must have been a Canadian who created that little rhyme:

Apple pie without the cheese

is like a kiss without a squeeze.

Cheese and apple pie is one of this country's specialties, despite the fact Canada is not a. nation of cheese-eaters. While some types of Canadian cheese may be the best in the world. Canada Depart- ment of Agriculture says that if enthusiasts were limited to only one kind of cheese, they'd probab- ly choose Cheddar, the type most commonly used in cooking.

There are many other kinds, of course. Camembert is a mellow semi-liquid cheese to be served with crackers, fruit and good col- fce. Edam and Gouda are char at-ierized by round rcd coaw; mild-flavored,

either in salad or dessert. Can- adian Swiss is a nutlike cheese, characterized by its "eyes" and good for sandwiches, salads or desserts. Subtle flavor makes Oka a. fine dessert cheese, and the flavor oi Limburger makes up for the jokes about its odor.

Cheese For Vegetables

A combination oi cheese and vegetables makes a dish that's both tasty and economical.

Brussels sprouts or cauliflower which has been dipped in cheese batter and deep-fried makes a good supper dish. The sprouts or pieces of cauliflower should be cooked in boiling salted water un- til tender.

The batter is made by mixing one-half cup of flour, a few grains of salt and pepper. plus one-half teaspoon of baking pow- der. To this add a slightly beaten egg and one-quarter cup milk. Combine with the flour mixture. Then blend one-half cup grated medium Cheddar cheese into the batter.

The vegetable pieces are dipped into this batter and deep fried in hot fat until golden brown.

That Apple Pie

Ingredients: one-half pound lard, one-half cup boiling water. Beat this to cream consistency and then add three cups pastry flour. oneteaspoon salt and one-half teaspoon baking powder.

To make the crust shiny and brown, brush with milk before popping in the oven. g

And if its an apple pie. dont forget to serve it with cheese.

The Department suggests a top- ping of cream cheese, whipped un- til light, makes home-made fruit pies taste even better than usual.

Preserving It First Duly Of Parents

DEAR MISS DIX: I am a m ried man with two sons and two daugh- ters. For the last three years y wife has refused to take family exped- itions on Sunday although I have repeatedly asked, and often even argued with her about it. She gives as reasons for her refusal the fact that the chiittreii must have their sleep, and in their own beds. Lately she claims she has the youngsters all week and wishes to go out on Sunday without them. Her attitude has made me very cool toward her and she cannot see any reason for my actions. "a when I see others enjoy their children by going out as ' a family it makes me very downhearted '

ANSWER: Seldom do 1 get a problem of this nat- ure with the mother as culprit; usually it is the father who refuses to take his family out

when savants foregather to discuss the ills of the

world, they ascribe the failings of today's youth to all sorts of sources - political. psychological and psychia- tric. Never does it occur to them that practically all tales of juvenile delinquency could be wiped off the front pages if the spirit of family unity could be revived. A suggestion that a family might gather together occasionally for an evening of games or singing would be greeted in most circles with hoots hf derision. The popular idea today is for the family to scatter in as many different directions as possible as soon as dinner is finished-provided, of course, they were all to- gether at dinner. A famous cleric says that the family who prays together stays to- gether. The slmple act of prayer provides the nucleus for a unity that nothing in the future will ever disrupt. Play or work done together is a zurtlier bond to preserve family ties.

MOTHER WILL REGRET

In a few years, when the children of Mrs. I-LB. think of home mere- ly as a place to get away from. their mother will bewail the fact that she is left alone. Yet she does nothing to establish a family conscio - ncss on Sunday, the one day when fathers chores permit him to enjoy the youngsters. A disrupted routine is nothing compared to the bene- fits derived from a day spent together in mutual pleasure.

Mother should get her time out alone some other day or evening during the week and devote Sunday to the projects her husband sull- gests. Her attitude towards the children certainly should not be one of patient resignation to an lrksome job. Youngsters, no matter how tirlnc they become at times, are a pleasure and should be enjoyed by their parents - not tolerated. The days of childhood are all too fleeting and parental regrets in later life cannot bring back one of them.

When you suggest these Sunday outings, H.S.. do you offer to help with their preparation? Don't leave everything to your wife. Let her get out for an evening at the movies during the week and lend what- ever assistance you can with the children. Be sure you make the ex- peditions a pleasure, not an extra source of work. Also. be sure the act- ivity you plan appeals to her. With a little effort I'm sure you can make her look forward to Sunday w,lth the family. t

DEAR Miss DIX: I am a young girl of 25 and very much interested in joining the Marine Corp. The only thing that is stopping me right nor: is that I do not have a high school diploma. After I left school I wont to night school. Any information you can give will be appreciated. M.M. ANSWER: see the local recruiting office for the Marines in your city. Your situation probably isn't hopeless. The work you did at night school might give you the necessary credits; if not. you will be directed to the courses that will com ' your education to the required mini- mum. The women's branches of the armed services offer a a: career for girls. Besides the service you will b) doing your country, there are personal advantages. such as the opportunity to continue your education and acquire professional training.

DEAR. Miss DIX: I have a daughter who has been married eleven years. Until recently I have been very friendly with her husband. Ai- Lhough he has often hurt my feelings, I have forgiven him. Now when I iisit them in the evening he doem't even greet me. Should I continue visiting when he is at home or go during the day?

F. B.

ANSWER: By all means make your visits in the daytime, if it can be conveniently arranged. A morose man is an uuLCI.l0XlIblG creature and best left to his own devices.

And now nu along the farm- lands. farmers bend efforts - wards putting their field-work good order for the winter. Grate- ful for these days of grace which allow them to continue in good weather, for should they not. bearkening back to the days of their fathers, have hsd- every- thing gathered and done by All Saints' lNe?l..ut turnips and cab- bages harvested, last furrows turned? -

But now as stubble: fade and I dnbneas take: possession of the meadows and the days shorten so that we agree with Juries that "if we don't rise before daylight. we may as well remain in bed!" farmers here and there work bus- ily harvesting the turnips or over against a sky-line. turn new fur- rows with their plows. Symbol the latter is, not of earth's sleep- ing. but ever of its continuance, its awakening.

The land will rest it is true but only briefly before one or another of its husbandmen will take up its cycle again . . . "Here next year?" the younger farmer caught the gist of our question today, looking up with a. bit of a smile. "Why. what crop follows roots?" Then "And in that one? we queri- cd of that lying plowed in the dis- tance. He smued again, a. toler- ant gesture, such a one as he might bestow on granddaughter and obviously surprised that one who can clean and wash and iron and bake and kiss away the hurts and tears of our small ones. should not be better acquainted with thesrotation of crops followed at Alderlea, replied "Grain, too - but not before we manure it, and we'll do that in the spring."

so that even as an end of har- vest is gathered, plans are being laid for another to come. And al- ways so hopefully. Was the grain crop or that of the ipotatoes or roots disappointing this year? What matter? Yields bigger and better will surely be poured for us from Nature's Horn-of-plenty in

another harvest to come! I U I

We discovered an added chill to the air today, or was it not that we remembered it is November that now casts that month's sober spell over the farmlands? "I can't say that I'm in love with Novem- ber" James sald at supper. "Oh. I don't find ,it melancholy but there is something about it that's definitely lonely. ,

. The fields become desolate once the stock is housed - and it's the beginning of the storms and cold." "But the farm-houses are confer now - they snuggle down.

it appears" we offered. "And there's full and plenty in the now - in the mom and grant!- ries, in cellar and bin . . . and

fuel and shelter."

The fire crackled happily and the kettle bubbled a pretty tune. The light picked out the red- checkered tablecloth and the col- orful dishes - and the bright red of the slip of geranium on s sill.

A meat and potato dish was our fare. hot and satisfying for one so lately come from his Work in th8 field, and for a second course. preserved orab-apples. pink and whole in their coral-hued syrup. James nodded. "That's true, El-
