Brush over the tops of yester- day's rolls with fresh milk and put into a covered pan in the oven to steam through. After they are heated, remove the cover so the crust will crisp up again. They will be like newly-baked rolls.

Rag Rugs

After washing a rag rug. try. starching it somewhat heavily. This will make it lie flat on the floor, it will keep clean longer. and will be much easier to wash the next time.

Gasoline odor

To remove the odor of gasoline from freshly-cleaned garments. use oil of sassafras in the gasoline (about; ten drops to a quart of gasoline.)

LESS TIME AND MODE COM- FORT IN STAY IN HOSPITAL

Today a patient. under his phy- sician's advice. can drive his car to hospital one morning. be pre- pared for a hernia. operation that same morning. he allowed on his feet for a few moments that same night, and be allowed up out of bed the next day for a few min- utes, two or three times during the day. and drive his car home the fifth day. This is a great change from the two or three weeks' stay in hospital that for- merly prevailed.

One of the reasons for the change. as far as a hernia oper- ation is concerned, is that the individual is not sick, no infec- tion is present. and it is therefore safe for him to move his body. thereby helping circulation of blood and digestion and preventing constipation. Even when the pat- ient has an infection such as ap- pendicitis. the stay in hospitgl is now shortened to a week or 10 days when no complications are present. p

It can be seen readily how a stay of five to 10 days instead of two or three weeks is going to make more hospital beds available for patients although, as men- tioned before, this is not the rea- son for the short hospital stay. Early rising from bed after illness or operation enables the patient to get back his strength in less time and be in better shape phy- sically than if he remained in bed longer.

Another recent finding of inter- est to physicians. nurses, the pat- ient and the paticnt's family is that the use of the bed-pan in most cases is harder on the pat- ient, requiring more physical. mental and emotional edort. than the use of an adjoining commode.

In The Journal of the American Medical Association, Drs. Joseph (3. Benton, Henry Brown and How- ard A. Rusk, New York City. with the technical assistance of Jean Birnbaum, M. S.. report that be- cause of the remark of many pat- ients, "I didn't mind the operation or anything at all about the hos- pital except the bed-pan." they in- vestigated the amount of effort re- quired f r use of bed-pan and commod .

By measuring the amount of oxygen used in 13 patients with active heart disease and is heart patients whose hearts were com- pensated (heart able to pump nec- essary blood without breathless- ness) it was found that 'the energy expenditure was higher in use of bed-pans than in use of commode There may, of course. be excep. tions to this general rule, accord- ing to individual reactions.

Womsn's' Randy Tears Disgusf Her Fiance

DEAR. MISS DIX: I am very sensitive and easily hurt, and when I am wounded I can't keep from crying. This disgusts my fiance. He says I can keep from crying and when I burst into tears he is very inconsiderate.

I am no crier myself, but I know . . - lots of women who are free weepers who seem to get a great deal of pleasure out of it and who come out of a de- bauch of tears looking as refreshed as a flower does after a rain. No doubt a psychologist would say that crying releases some sort of a nervous tension in them and leaves them at peace with themselves

We suspect we always shall marvel as, respectfully touch- in: s. switch or entering the con-' necting plug of some appliance, that fanciful figure whom grand- daughter knows ae "Raddy Kille- wstt." immediately springs to our assistance. Nor have we yet be- come accustomed to the sight of that gleaming line of silver which runs now along this red bridge- spanned road of ours. Nor of that one which leads in above pond and field bearing the necessary cur- rent to houses and out-buildings. It has been of much help to us along the winter ' months. James himself has been heard to say he would just as soon chore by night now as in the daytime, and more especially during the sometimes exciting periods of farrowing at the piggeries when lights must be maintained there over-night, has the convenience proved its worth to the farmers.

Q. when a secretary is opening her employer's mail and comes i0 an envelope that seems to be per- sonal. what should she do? .. A. This would depend upon cir- cumstances. Some emP103'91'I WWW resent having their personal mail opened. Usually it is better not to open anything that has the sp- pesrance of being personal.

Q. Don't you consider it rudc' for a guest to talk at length about the exceptionally good time he had at another party, or when visiting other friends?

A. Yes. it most certainly is rude-be-cause it gives the im- pression that he had a much bet- ter time then than he is having now.

Q. our son has just become en- gaged, and so far we have not met the family of the girl. Isn't it our son's obligation to. take us to meet his .tlancec's family?
