Chances With

Pnevmonia

_ DON'T "TAKE CHANCES with “ Pneumoniz, or with symptoms that ‘may signa’ an attack of pneumonia.

\ A great many people; having heard - about the ‘emarkable effects of the «sulfa drugs in curing pneumonia, may unfortunately have been led to

‘think pneumonia is no longer a "serious disease. This is & mistake. Pneumonia is “still a serious sickness. It need not “be quite such a serious menace to life as formerly, because doctors - now have such potent weapons, the * sulfa drugs and anti-pneumococcus {serums, for fighting it. The very first year after doctors started treating pneumonia with ‘the sulfa drugs, there was an enormous drop in the pneumonia death ‘rate. But in the last two years ;pneumonia mortality, as shown by Jhosiptal records, has been rising again, This, by the way, is not a reflection on the hospitals, nor ‘should any pneumonia patient hesi‘tate to go to a hospital if his doctor advises it. : 8 8 _ THE HOSPITAL records on pneumonia mortality were cited by Dr. “Colin M. MacLeod of New York uni- « versity College of Medicine, to point out the danger of feeling too con“fident that pneumonia has ‘been “licked. At a meeting of the Medical Society of the District of Co~lumbia, Dr. MacLeod gave three reasons for failure of modern pneumonia treatment to save the lives of the patients. * The first of these reasons is age. ‘The hospital records he cited showed that pneumonia mortality is four times greater in patients over 40 years than in those younger than 40, and still greater in much older patients. Obviously, you cannot do anything akout your age, but you can rememlb-r that if you are over 40 pneumor 2 is likely to hit you ‘harder, so ¢on’t delay calling. your doctor.

Here are two novelty packages that will make their gift of perfume all the more pleasing. The dram of scent on the left comes with a fan-puzzle. (The trick is to roll the beads into perforations on the * fan’s edge.) The flower pot holds poinsettias of acetate leaves, with a bottle stopper forming the center of the petals.

CHRISTMAS COSMETICS, ever stimulating and personal, are more practical this year. This makes them the obvious choice for a modest filip without which no woman’s stocking seems adequately filled, even in wartime. And there are enough of them to go around and then some. The appeal of patriotism is widespread. One house stamps all its products as free of any material requested for war production. Others invite the giver to tuck a war bond or stamps into the gift package. One Fifth ave. expert, for example, packs her gift set of dust-

ing powder and toilet water in a

removable tray, and she suggests the place underneath that tray is just right to carry a war bond. Stocks of pre-war things like metal vanity cases are uncertain, At comparable prices, however, there dre supplementary ones which are novel, often better; beautiful sturdy plastic cases and sterling silver compacts and lipsticks such as a middle-bracket shopper wouldn't have thought of asking for, formerly.

GAY PACKAGING distinguishes many toiletries. Even such a homely item as soap is done up as a whiskered Santa Claus. One house has a poinsettia flower pot with a fresh Christmas look, with red and green acetate leaves, and a center formed by the knoblike stoppers of a dram bottle of perfume. There's a “choir” of soap in the shape of six angels, and a beauty birdcage of pink-bowed white wire holding generous containers of beauty and bath accessories. Beauty kits in every shape and combination are about the most popular single thing you can name. You can find them at comfortable prices—there’s even a pretty pasteboard beauty box with

cleansing cream and powder at the price of ‘a good cotton handkerchief. Perfume is the beauty gift of the year, just because some types are expected to be scarcer. But, there will be plenty of the French essences blended in America, and quite a few new ones. Now that hand grooming is a real problem for many women who are working with their hands for the first time, manicure items
