About that much salt In about that

spoonfuls of salt to the pint of water

QVESTIONS AXD ANSWERS
Bathe. If You Munt, but Beware We
Feet
I have found your suggestion about
bromidrosls very helpful, but being
extremely modern and up to date, I
like to buthe sometimes oftener than
once in two weeks, and the problem
is to do so without getting my feet
wet. Shall I wear galoshes or have
holes cut In the bath tub and stick
my feet out thru the holes while I am
bathing? I really find the trouble
much less noticeable since I stopped
until ing my feet with hot water
IF. J.)
Answer. It Is simple enough to let
your feet hang out while you get into
the tub for a wet wash, If you must,
Or take a shower instead, short and
sweet, and keep your galoshes or slip
pers on. Or a sponge bath, skipping
the ieet. Perhaps a very short and
very cold wet foot wash once a week
will do no harm.
Hallucination
Please explain hallucination. Can
it be caused by a blow on the head
In early cRlldhood, or from a nervous
disease in childhood? (L. C.)
Answer. Hallucination means the
perception of things without reality
such as hearing "voices" command
ing one to commit wrong acts.

reason or possibility, or feeling t
"demon pounding nails Into my kid

terpretatlon of the object. An illusion
Is not bud at all It is a mlsinterpre
tat ion of the object, the error of
which one recognizes when it is point
