REMOVAL OF TONSILS JUST BEFORE OR DURING A POIJO EPIDEMIC

several years ago. with some authoritative figures and informa- tion on hand, I wrote about the danger of removing tonsils Just before or during an epidemic of poliomyelitis (infantile paralysis), as more cases of the serious type (bulbar) occurred after operations on the throat.

Following this statement, which was made by many physicians and nose and throat specialists, some statistics were gathered by other specialists which asserted that there were not any more cases of bulbs: polio following operation than when operation was not per- formed. As the two statements were diametrically opposed to one another, parents and physicians awaited more cases and informa- tion from high authorities before deciding to remove tonsils before or during a polio epidemic. Fortunately. information from high sources was soon forthconi- ing in which it was generally a- greed that not only should remov- al of tonsils be postponed till the polio season was over. but prac- tically all other operations, except in a serious emergency, should be postponed.

It must not be overlooked that there are periods during the year when tonsillectomy should not be performed. since epidemics of poliomyelitis may be present. Un- der such circumstances, the sur- geon should rcmember that a good deal of research recently has been done by Dr. M. sicgcl and associates who studied 53,007 ton- sil operations in various hospitals in Greater” New York City during 1949. At this period the city had its third largest epidemic of polio- uiyclitis. In accurdniirc with these observations the best period for tonsillectomy would be during months of January, February and March. While some physicia.ris do not agree with these findings, it must be remembered that after several intensive investigations, it was declared by ear, nose and throat specialists. as well as com- pet.ent pathologists. that there are danger periods for tonsillec- tomles in the presence of epidem- ics of poliomyelitis.

The organization that has done most investigating, and with re- ports available from all over the woridu the American Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, advises that no tonsillectomy be perform- ed during an epidemic of poliomy- elitis.

"After an acute infection of ton- sils or other infection of ear. nose and throat, it is best that six to eight weeks elapse before a ton- sillectomy is attempted," the Foun- dation advises.

Q. How can I remove an annoy- ing squeak from my black shoes?

A. If the shoes are black use the following remedy: Place the shoes in a basin and pour in en- ough linseed oil to cover the soles. Allow to stand until the following day, and the squeak will have dis- appear-ed.

Q. How should I wash silks?

A. To make the silks last long- er. avoid applying soap directly to them when washing. Use soapy water and squeeze gently to wash out the dirt. Rinse several times in tepid water.

Q. How can I drill a hole into the bottom or side of a heavy china vase which I wish to con- vert into a lamp?

A. Use an ordinary twist drill. The drill should be sharp and have a low pitch. The china

should be kept wet with turpen- tine.

Friends continue to come to the garden and it is a real Joy to see and talk with them. Last week I learned of the gardens in Mexico and other provinces of Canada, and it is stimulating and interesting to the gardener who must stay at home. Every day there are new flowers and-the tuberous Begonias are beginning to show color. A splendid variety of Gloxiniss in a. crimson-red is blooming and others are lovely in many differ- ent colors.

The old fashioned Bleeding Heart or to be correct, Dlcentra. is showing its long graceful racemes of heart-shaped pink flowers and this year it was mov- ed to the rock garden where it seems to he doing very well and certainly it is easy to enjoy it in that position.

Tulips are being forced out in bloom by the sunny days and next week should be at their best. The forget-me-not is lovely and will continue for several weeks. It is a happy time in the garden.

. A Saucy Story.

(Canada Dept. of Agriculture)

"ssucily served", even the most prosaic food becomes a dish of artistry and glamour. Both the fis- vour and appearance of foods are greatly enctianced when served with the right sauce. A good sauce is smooth, glossy to the eye and appealing to the taste. Although there are exceptions, it should be thin enough to flow readily but thick enough not to soak into the food. seasoning and flavourtng are used' cautiously but should be strong enough to make the sauce distinctive. It is important that the sauce should compliment the food and because of this acid food should be served with a bland sauce while a bland food needs a sauce which will give it charac- ter. Rich foods are best served with a simple rather plain sauce.

Most vegetables blend well with a mild flavoured sauce or one with a little more character such as cheese or mustard sauce. A sauce with a piquant tang gives pleas- ing contrsst in flavour to most meats. On stewed or baked fruits jellies. custard sauce is good

Give Meals A Saucy Lift

Home economists suggest a cream sauce. sometimes called a white sauce, to give your meals a saucy life. The cream sauce may be of a thin, medium or thick con- sistency, depending on the amount of thickener used. The thin sauce is used as a base for cream soups; medium for pudding sauces. cream ed vegetables and meats. and the thick as I binder in croquettes and soufles.

For cream soups, add pureed or chopped vegetables or strained to- matoes to the thin sauce to make an appstising: and riourlshing dish.

How can a blind man be shown the error of- his ways? If his mother is a wise woman she will advise him to set up housekeeping Sometimes another discerning member of the family can size up the situation and make appropriate recommendations.

Your doctor might make the suggestion to your husband that your welfare. and that of the expected child, will be much better if you're established under a separate roof.

The longer a man revels in the confining hold of his mother's apron strings. the harder it is for him to break away. Many mothers, realizing and loving this dependency, make every effort to strengthen it by catering to the married son. and relegsting his wife to such an inferior place in the household that any rnlnlstraticns she can render her lord and master are completely lost in the shuffle of mom's all-
