Painting stove burners
but temporary
By Polly Cramer
Polly’s Problem
DEAR POLLY — Could I paint the white burner bowls
on my gas stove? I would like to paint them black since
they always look dirty but wonder if this would be
dangerous so near the flame. — LUCILLE.
DEAR LUCILLE — A Fire Prevention officer says
this is not really a fire hazard. Os course, you would
remove them from the stove and away from the pilot
light to do the painting. He had done this in his own
home, however, and found it most unsatisfactory. The
paint comes off as easily as it went on since the surface
underneath is baked enamel. Just wiping them off is
all right, but there comes a day when a scouring with
cleanser is needed and then comes soil and some paint,
too. There are paints advertised for such finishes but the
heat must be the mischief maker as it peels and starts to
come off after a time. Remove one of your burner pans,
take to the dealer who sells that line and see if he can
order some black ones for you. I really understand your
problem. Those on my gas stove are white and need con
stant cleaning. — POLLY.
DEAR POLLY — My Pet Peeve has peeved me for years,
and even more so when I was in school. Why do pencils have
such short erasers? The small ones they do have are soon gone
and the poor pencils look helpless. The rubber eraser should be
double the present length for practical use. — LOUISE.
DEAR POLLY — At home we were always encouraged to
brush our long hair over the side of the bathtub, so the loose
hair fell on the white surface where it could be easily seen,
picked up and thrown away. The bathroom floor was always
relatively clean of hair.
In our guest bathroom we have a fancy container (a talcum
powder box could be used) filled with detergent so that guests
can wash out their small things like hose.
For instant and economical soup making we keep a wide
variety of frozen vegetables in the freezer and combine these
with plain tomato soup or canned mixed vegetable juice. The
combinations that can be made are almost endless so people
can have their favorite soups as often as they like and no one
gets stuck with an objectionable dish. We make only what is
needed for one meal so there are no leftovers. — JOAN L.

Elephantiasis
caused by worm
By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D.
DEAR DR. LAMB - I have
a problem for you to solve.
What is elephantiasis and
where does it originate? Is
there any cure for it or any
specialists? What type of doc
tor would 1 have to see for
results? I need help badly.
DEAR READER - You
have come up with a rare one
in this country. The term
elephantiasis refers to swell
ing and enlargement of the
legs to resemble the legs of an
elephant Classically, the con
dition is caused by an infesta
tion with a thread-like worm.
The disease is also called
filariasis. The tiny adult
worm is from two to four in
ches long and tends to invade
and block the lymphatics. The
inguinal region around the hip
and inner aspect of the thigh is
commonly involved.
The worms cause inflam
mation and blockage of the
lymphatic system. The block
ed lymphatic channels leads
to the marked swelling In
men, the lymphatics to the
scrotum are often involved.
The blockage causes
progressive and enormous
swelling of the scrotum. In
fact, the scrotum may be so
large that it hangs below the
knees and is equally large in
all diameters. Its size may be
so huge that the man may
have trouble with normal
physical activity.
This disease is seen
primarily in Africa, tropical
coastal areas of Asia and in
the northern countries of
South America. The disease is
spread by mosquitos, and man
is the only known in
termediate host.
At night the young smaller
worms are in the blood
stream A mosquito bites the
infected person and draws in
the filariae and they remain in
the mouth for a couple of
weeks When the mosquito
bites the next victim it in
noculates him with the
microworm.
The lymphatics become in
flamed from the invastion and
the process begins. Initially
the limb involved may be
shiny and swollen, but even
tually the skin becomes scaly
and cracked and the skin is
thickened.
The worms can be killed by
various medicines and the
enlarged scrotum can be sur
gically removed. Incidentally,
this can be done without
damaging the testicles.
Similar swollen enlarged
tissues can be removed from
the legs or even the breast
when it is involved. There are
medicines for prevention of
infestation available to those
traveling to areas where the
disease is common.
The term elephantiasis has
also been applied to any type
of swelling that causes mark
ed enlargements similar to
those I have mentioned. I
suspect that must be the situa
tion in your case.
What kind of doctor should
you see? A good place to start
would be with your family
doctor He can refer you to a
specialist in internal medicine
if you need that if he is not a
specialist in that area
himself. If you need surgery
he can also arrange that.
