ANSWER—I have tricd to make clear that “nervous breakdown” does not explain any failure of health. All sorts of Wisease conditions are dubbed “nervous breakdown” by the complacent victim, by doctors who have few diagnostic quaims, and by doctors who do not care to give out the real nature of patients' illnesses. Of course I can't explain why you suffer, without having personally examined you and learned what is the matter.

Its risks are slighter than those of many other forms of athletics, practically being limited to the two of excess fatigue and overtaxing a weak heart. Running is an excellent beginning, a- necessary basis for success in nearly all games; therefore, a run- ning track is perhaps the first thing to be planned for a playground. Girls should run more than they do. In the freedom of bloomers, run- shoes and close-braided hair, should have the benefit of this good excrcise.

There are, you know, three sorts of starch—wheat, rice and corn starch— and American housewives have bedn criticised sometimes for confining their attention to corn starch. How- ever, if this is properly used, it gives satisfactory results. If you have not had good results from your starching, the chances are rather that you have given too little time to your work than that you have not had the right ‘ sort of starch.

You may use polishing powder another time without injury, but in this case you have exposed the nail below its outer surface, and I do not think a drying polishing powder is advisable. In fact, it is a good idea to rub the nail with oil or cold cream after this treatment. ~P. H.

For frying doughnuts instead of placing the doughnuts in the basket use the bottom of the basket to force the doughnuts under the surface of the fat as soon as they rise to the top. This use of the basket saves time and fat, for doughnuts fried under the fat absorb less grease and can be fried in a shorter time. The basket can also be used to drain the fat from the doughnuts after fry- ing. Another use for the wire basket is in grating _soft cheese. It is much casier to force the cheese through the meshes of the wire basket than through a grater. —— Red and Black Currant Pie. First stem the currants.
