M.D. At the end of about the fourth or fifth decade of life, comes the sixth of the seven ages of woman. Here a reversal occurs In the chemical tides of the ductless glands, their secretions diminish, changes in the elasticity of the arteries fcccur, a tendency to fat storage appears (or if It has already appeared is accelerated) and there is an atrophy of the Unusual Thanksgiving Meal term. , HELPFUL MEDICINES - Modern medicine has found many methods of alleviating the symptoms of this period methods entirely unknown fifty years ago. Most of this improvement is in the form of extracts of the ductless glands some form - of estrogen at present is considered to give the best results. Calcium gluconate tablets combined with viosterol are valuable in combating tension. The heart and blood vessels are unstable at this time and subject to many temporary upsets. There Is the Symptom so annoying to most wfimen which comes when the blood Vessels of the face dilate and there is a feeling of heat and stuffiness.

Incidentally they occur In men as 'weirss'wtjinerr and hrboth"ift Stances indicate a temporary up--ain the nerves which control the size of the blood vessels. We know pretty thoroughly all about the chemistry of the condition can do much to relieve jiow and TEMPERAMENTAL UPSETS A common attitude towards this phase of life is that it is in Some way connected with mental illness. It can be said at once that a woman who has had previously a good emotion adjustment need not fear such an even- tuality at this period," writes Dr. Milton J. Miller, in Hygela Temperamental upsets appear, but Usually in those who were temperamentally unstable before. My experience has neen that the woman who has always been an arbiter or tyrant in her family, who has dominated or tried to dominate an only son, or a small famiy will use this period to put on a show and make the whole' family uncomfortable. The woman who has had to manage a large family and therefore has' had to submerge her own persontemperaality shows . little ment" during this period. But, mos important of all to remember is that for the majority of women perhaps - 70 per cent this period comes and goe with hardly any disagreeable symptons at all almost unnoticed, QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS H. J. W. Would you advise a cold shot for a child three - years oldT The last two winters our boy has been very susceptible to colds. He has been getting all the cod liver oil that he should have but it doesn't help him resist colds." Answer I do not believe that cold shots are certainly helpful In preventing colds for anybody, no matter what age. In a three-yea- r old it seems to me the chances are that thevcause of recurrent colds is infected tonsils And adenoids.

MOYLE 19. The Wednesday, Nov. flowering crab trees are among the most desirable small trees for the home grounds for the reason that most varieties trees, reaching a height of only 10 to 15 feet. They ask for soil similar to that in which any common apple tree will thrive, with a place In fulL sun. If you. live in a section where winter temperatures drop, here the is the tree for you, for crab apple will do well where-eve- r the common apple flowers. They will supply rosy-pinclouds of spring beauty in sections where the flowering cherries cannot be used.

But alas, this exquisite tree is subject to scale, and once this pest appears, the tree is doomed and two or there 'seasons sees its demise.
