The clotting produced within the vein by the injection of sugar or salt fills the entire lJumen of the vein and is securely attached to the vein wall. That is the reason why embolism almost never hap- g’em when this injection treatment is ven, The unpleasant effects sometimes ex- perienced by patients who submit to injection of the veins are due to un- skilled technic. If a wee drop of the salt solution or sugar solution is in- jected around the vein instead of into the vein, it sets up great irritation, be- ing undiluted by the blood, and this gives considerabl® pain and inflamma- tion without any benefit for the vari- cose condition. If more than a drop or two of the solution happens to be in- Jected around the vein, it may produce ulceration of the leg the point in- Jected. Formerly physicians used various chemicals, but la¥ge experience has shown that common salt solution, tom- mon sugar solution and, in a few cases, corrosive sublimate solution give the most satisfactory results. ‘There is some pain of a cramplike character in most cases with each in- Jection, but this lasts only a few min- utes, and patients say they do not mind it, in view of the disappearance of the enlarged veins. Any good doctor anywhere can ad- minister this treatment in his office occupation. Any man or woman who suffers with varicose (dilated, enlarged) veins should interview his or her phy- sician regarding the treatment. If the himself, he will refer the patient to a colleague who does. Some of the old- timers can't get the hang of it. All of the younger doctors are trained in this method nowadays. ‘The presence of an old and “incura- ble” ulcer is a complication which not only does not prevent the application of this method, but actually renders the treatment the more advisable. The obliteration of the vein brings about healing of the ulcer when all other at- tempts to heal it have failed. (Copyright, 1931.) Quinces.

C., MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 193 AUTUMN | BY D. C. PEATTIE. As soon as the first Autumn rains have given the soil a good dampening, the mushroom season of Washington | begins again. It is not so large or so attractive as the Spring mushroch seascn, but it is interesting to note that, as with flowers, many of the Autumn species are different from the Spring species. It seems to me that in Autumn I see more of those little coral fungi, which are edible, but to me quite taste- less. And beyond any doubt there are more of those fat little puffballs, like small gray sacks, strewn over my lawn and springing up in the garden soi where the stems of zinnias are wither- ing. They lie on the ground until the snow falls, surviving all the first frosts. If you touch a puffball you get & surprise. At the top of the sack & little mouth opens and like some min- jature volcano, it spouts a_ plume of smoke—in reality spores, Tear open the sack and you find it one mass of spores, rather like a bag full of pow- dered cinnamon. One ball must con- tain literally millions of spores, and if one puffball's spores all germinated upon faliing to earth, the whole area of Arlington County would be covered with them next Autumn. Nature, however, makes no provisions for the dominance of any one species of plant or animal. On the contrary, her laws are inexorable. Contrary to pop- ular conceptions, Nature seems opposed to fertility, and plants and animals are obliged to produce offspring in im- mense numbers in order to overcome the tremendous inertia of Nature. To make one puffball live, thousands of spores must be wasted. The lower forms of life, especially, adopt this method But low as the little puffball is, and anything much closer to the ground one cannot imagine, it is not too lowly to eat. I was once served a dish of puffballs by one who knew what he was collecting, that was as delicious as the best button champignons that the French canners export. I would | not. however, advise any one to eat puffballs unless he was a good fungol- ogist who was certain of making o | mistake, and even so he had best go hunting for the very small young ones. When puffballs get big enough to see easily they are already too tough to be palstable. Sour Cream Waffles. l Beat two eggs, yolks and whites separately. Mix two cupfuls of sour cream with the egg yolks, stir in two cupfuls of flour, one and one-half tea- spoonfuls of melted butter and half a teaspoonful of salt. Add one teaspoon- ful of baking soda dissolved in enough sweet milk to make a batter of the right consistency, then add the stiffiy- beaten egg whites. The waffle iron should be well heated and greased be- fore using. A tablespoonful of batter in each compartment near the center of the iron will spread to just fill the iron. MENU FOR A DAY.

What more natural, then, than that she should come to tell Nancy of her adventures in house hunting. She would be a bride late in November. She and her fiance wanted to buy or| lease a house for the time being. Later they planned to build, but that could not be managed just yet. “There are a lot of features in the new homes that are interesting. Here are some of the things I have learred, Nance. First, no house worthy of the name of being modern is mow built without careful consideration of insu- lation. ‘There are insulating bdards and material on the market, any one of which will keep the heat in_the house in the Winter time and the heat out in the Summer. “Then air conditioning is something rather new, but quite acceptable. We have been living, we are told, in homes that are too dry. Humidifying the atmosphere is_important. “Wood paneled rooms are “fuite the thing. New products on the market have cut the cost of solid wood panel- ing and made beautiful rooms within the reach of folks like us.

Floor coverings that work, even in damp base- ments, are now on the market. “Modern homes are interested in the | problem of garbage disposal, too.

Thank goodness, the day of burning wood or coal or both in your living Toom fireplace has come back. “Garages with easily controlled doors | that are not hampered by drifts of snow or sheets of ice are now available.

Until last year I had a real | chum, who would accompany me to [ these places, and was under the sxamo Testriction as | fellow that does not dance, and so she never runs around. He is out of a job, and each night he comes to see her and just sits in the parlor. I have asked her to accompany my boy friend and myself, but she hesitates to ask him because he simply does not have the money. “Now I have about six cr eight girl friends. They are all right, but they drink, smoke and come in almost every morning around 3 or even 6. The only | time they go any place with me is when they have no place else to go. “My boy friend does not drink_or smoke, either. He goes with no fel- lows, nor any other girl. I enjoy his company immensely and so do others, but because we do not drink or smoke we are never asked to accompany any of our so-called friends to their parties or gatherings. I just hunger for the companionship of another couple or a girl friend. Is there a girl on earth decent enough to keep away from such stuff and who has parents that re- gugst her being home as early asmine Helen Woodward. “I love this boy friend of mine dear- 1y, but I yearn fdr the companionship of a foursome, to spend a quiet picnic |or have a pieasant drive, or dance. |Many a night T've cried myself to sleep, just yearning for a real girl | friend. I always enjoy myself with the boy friend, but I do wish that I could be invited to some of the parties. If I were, I guess I'd never enjoy myself and would, perhaps, be laughed at.
