Cottons Are Beautifully. Styled For Bride and Her Bridesmaids 9 Released by Western Newspaper Union. PSORIASIS By CHERIE NICHOLAS Dr. .Barton t A patient consulted a skin specialist about a chronic case of psoriasis. Psoriasis is an inflammation of the skin in which there are red raised spots covered with dry silvery scales. When the scales are removed a red glistening surface is exposed with fine bleeding points. "It occurs in all countries, in both sexes, in the young and the old. It is not contagious or in» fectious but does seem to run in some families." . It heals without forming blisters or leaving a scar. Although nc pain or other symptom is present, it ^causes much distress and embarrassment. | The patient told the skin special- 31st that he had "tried everything," 'including physicians' prescription and the patent remedies but could obtain no permanent cure. Before he underwent treatment he wanted to know if the specialist could cure him. The specialist frankly told him that he knew of no "permanent" cure for psoriasis but many of his patients obtained relief for months and years by two simple acts. They got out into the air and sunshine as much as possible and avoided entirely or greatly reduced the amount of fat foods eaten. The very fact that the face and back of hands are seldom attacked by psoriasis would show that sunlight is a factor in preventing psoriasis. In fact some of his patients gave up his £nd other treatment, the psoriasis disappeared for months or years, and then returned. It is possible that in some of these cases "that cured themselves," the patients got outdoors more, ate less fat foods, and more vegetables and fruits containing vitamins A, C, and D. In others cutting down on fat foods and taking vitamin B1 has -given relief. In Hygeia, the Health Magazine, Maurice J. Costello states that natural sunlight, particularly when combined with salt water bathing, is the most pleasant and convenient and one of the best forms of treatment for chronic psoriasis. Suntanning the body is both a temporary cure and a preventive of psoriasis. X-ray treatment is often effective but should be used sparingly under the supervision of a physician X-ray specialist. The point is that while chronic psoriasis can be helped for periods of time by official and non-official preparations, sunlight and cutting down on fat foods give best results. • • * Emotional Spasms Prevent Swallowing Some years ago I spoke about a middle-aged woman who had suffered for years with an arthritis that kept her almost bedridden. She began to complain that her food stuck "half way down" the esophagus, the tube carrying the food to the stomach; she was sure that a growth was blocking the tube. Her physician pointed out that if there was a growth or obstruction present, it would block the food every time she # ate solid food whereas there were times when she ate solid food without feeling any block in the tube. In order to convince her he took her to the X-ray department of a large hospital and by the aid of a fluoroscope and mirror she was able to see food pass directly from throat down the tube to the stomach without any delay whatever. There was no question but that she felt the delay must have been present at times but only because there was a spasm of the tube, no* any real obstruction present. Thi cause of the spasm was emotional. In Radiology, Dfs. W. B. Faulk ner, F. H. Rodenbaugh and John R O'Neill show that emotional upsetments may produce a disturbance in the esophagus which can be discovered by the X-rays and by the use of the esophagoscope (instrument showing condition of esophagus). They noticed this first in a routine fluoroscopic (Xrays) examination of patient with a severe spasm of esophagus. The spasm, clearly seen, disappeared when a chance statement was made that pleased the patient while a statement that displeased the patient brought on the spasm again. It can thus be seen that if a barium meal is given when the patient is upset or nervous a spasm may occur which causes a "blocked" feeling. whereas if patient is relaxed there will be no blocked feeling, • • • QUESTION BOX SIMPLICITY is the keynote for summer bridal fashions. Even for the most fashionable weddings lovely cotton sheers or stunning highstyle piques are first choice for the bride and her attendants. It would almost seem as if fashion had been conspiring with bridesto- be this year in seeing that dreams come true (even if the budget did not allow a whole lot to spend) of the traditional lovely allwhite wedding gown with the brides' attendants winsomely arrayed so as to form an unforgettable picture that would radiate happy memories through all the years to be. As to the answer to this problem for, beguiling wedding outfits that do not cost a fortune--it's given in most eye-appealing cotton sheers, piques, filmy marquisettes and chiffon- like airy-fairy weaves. Also starched and eyeleted cotton laces, and organdies (so inexpensive and lovely) are offered, likewise diaphanous nets, and this year sees a revival of the ever-so-dainty lacetrimmed batistes, some of which are exquisitely hand-embroidered. So enchanting have the season's cotton sheers proved, they will hold forth this year at some of the smartest I weddings of the summer. ; There's something about the loves' ly cotton sheers that breathe the j very essence of romance and the j beauty of it is that a "picture wed- , ding" can be realized with no ex- . travagant outlay. The pretty bride's ; gown, pictured, gives evidence of the persistent call for the longer | wedding dress rather than the less 1 formal short effects. The gown as here shown is fashioned of organdy. | Its outstanding style feature is the i tier treatment of self ruffles down the back, with corresponding ruffles across the bodice. These fluttery | little ruffles are perfectly charming effect and the slenderizing lines 1 of the dress are extremely figure- , flattering. The simple starched net j kca<*dress is attached to J pearl Brain Combines Double Images, Forms Only One Because your eyes are set approximately two and one half inches apart, this gives a slightly different view of an object with each eye. The higher visual centers in the brain, combine these slightly differing images into one, thus producing "fusion" and a much improved sensation of reality by virtue of the impression of stereopsis. This faculty of depth perception is a vital factor in automobile driving and in hundreds of acts of our daily lives. Sometimes when the two eyes do not learn teamwork, to avoid seeing double (diplopia) the brain suppresses one of the visual images. As this habit grows, although both eyes are wide open and appear all right, one of them is doing practically all of the work and depth perception becomes'a thing of the" past. Without meaning to, many people are suppressing important facts about the object at which they are looking -- seeing less than they should. This reduction of the vision in one eye is called amblyopia. It is not uncommon to find" one eye enjoying a little better sight than the other and this is usually evened up with ' the properly prescribed lenses, but where one eye is much poorer in vision than the other, visual training is now used with considerable success and usually good sight is restored, to the dimmed eye. This i tendency of one eye to become amblyopic, is just one of the con- > cessions made by the visual mechanism when maintained visual tasks I are required of a person and no out- ! aide help is secured. Most such i concessions can be overcSrni and balanced seeing restored. McCULLOM LAKE I \ (By Marie McKim) j Stephen Huska, S2c, received a j Certificate of Award from the Navy I U. S.

Cotton nets make up ever so fetchingly in bridesmaids' gowns The picturesque bouffant frock shown to the left is of delicately dot ted white net. It is cut with a sheer yoke. Net is appliqued in scallops on the basque bodice. • A fetching net .headpiece has a bewitching flower trim. An old-fashioned bouquet of roses completes the ensemble. With this same bride's gown, the bridesmaids' dresses would be de lectable made of shadow print or gandy, the delicate white-on-white flower shadowy print contrasting the bride's simple white frock most ef fectively. Velvet ribbon in turquoise blue, or a different cdlor for each gown if desired, tied with long streamers about the waist, would give entrancing color accent with bouque^ made up with a promi? nence of long wispy sprays of maid enhair fern. There's a decided flair among brides-to-be for simple gowns of plaster white waffle pique. This classic cotton weav'e yields delight fully to stately uncluttered princess lines for the bride, contrasting quaintly picturesque dresses for the attendants with starched full skirts and fitted bodices enhanced with eyelet embroidered yoke tops and cap sleeves.
