HOME HEALTH CLUB

Christmas Candy-It will not be long until the street corners of the larger cities and some of the smaller will be crowded with carts and wagons loaded down with candy which is offered at astonishingly low prices. Now, the low prices are all right, and the deal- CT who sel Is good pure candy at any price above 20 cents per pound is or should be making more profit on it than the farmer who raised the sugar cane or the sugar beets.
 Try making some candy yourself: Weigh out the sugar and all other in- gradients for making fudge and cream taffy, peanut brittle or caramels, and you will find that sugar at or cents per pound is the greatest item of ex- pense. Even this does not satisfy the cupidity of interruptions makers of sugar the product of glucose factories, a sticky muciliginous substance that does more damage to the kidneys than almost any article of commerce that | is sold for food.
 The cheaper kinds of candy are flll- ed with paste of various kinds in or der to give them bulk and weight. l When these are sold near schoolhouses
 the manufacturers know very well that | children will spend the penny for the l largest size stick or piece of candy they can get for the money and so he l makes a highly colored big piece of stuff which he calls candy and sells l 1t for penny. Most of it is glucose and many case of kidney disease is started, l Another dangerous feature in con- nection with the cheap candies sold on the street is the filth. I have seen an open wagon load of gumdrops stand l on street corner where the wind was blowing the dust from several direc- tions and it all seemed to find the gum drops fine resting place. While know that to pay 40 cents, 50 cents l or 60 cents per pound for candy gives a very great profit to the manufa ctur- CT, prefer to buy that kind when | find that it is free from injurious pro- | ducts.
 l Good candy is not harmful when eat I en in reasonable quantities.; in fact, there are times when it does one a | great deal of good to eat candy in- | stead of the regular meal. It is very appetite, a great quantity will not be eaten. The greatest harm caused by candy is probably due to the same rea- l son that harm is frequently caused by desserts. person eats all of the good wholesome and nourishfng food | that the system requires, and then the

 Dear Doctor:
 I have suffered from cfilblains dur ing several winters, and nothing try seems to do me but temporary good. Having read your Home Health Club notes, and always finding them prac- ticaL appeal to, you for. help. An early reply would greatly oblige.
 From being frost bitten or exposed to great cold and then suddenly warm ed. or by being suddenly exposed to cold when hot, the skin suffers what is known as chilblains. They are us- ually persistent, and may annoy per son for years.
 Many apply petroleum bandages for a cure but the most efficient remedy I know of is the Compound Tincture of Myrrh, which should be rubbed on night and morning. Take pulverized Myrrh, oz.; Red Pepper. 1-2 oz.; AL coholss quart. Mix and allow the preparation to stand for week when the tincture will be ready for use, af- ter straining.
 As a precaution against chilblains, never suddenly warm chilled feet and If frost bitten, rub them briskly with snow or cloths soaked in cold water. After the feet have become accustom- ed to ordinary temperature, a stimu- lating liniment may be applied.

Not the Same as in the Old Days of the Indian Fighters, When Officers and Men Marched and Fought in the Snow in Holiday Season Peril and Hardship on Western Plains

Whether at home or in the Philippine Islands, Christmas is observed in the homes of the United States army off1- cers and enlisted men with families, just as et is among civilians. The bachelors who wear side arms gener- ally see to it that the table at the Of flcerS mess, and that the club quar- ters have their supplies of holly. At most of the army posts all duties ex- cept the necessary guard and fatigue are suspended.
 Interesting Christmas tree exercises are he'd, with presents for old and young. Santa Claus is generally inn personated by an officer, and at some of the posts the children are enter tained with moving pictures of Christ mas pantornEmes and with Christmas music.
 There used to be a custom in the ar my of going along the line on Christ mas morning and looking at the gifts every one had received. The married people went to the bachelors quarters, almost every one taking some litt-e remembrance. In the Far Western posts dp the old days home made can dy or cakes were made and presented. mas used to send to the enlisted men of their husbands companies large plum cakes.
 Extra good srations during the Christmas holidays are now special feature at the most isolated of the army posts in the United States, or among the foreign possessions.

CLUB NOTES.

Dear Doctor: Is there cure for sick headache? MISS A. B..
 If I were to answer your question with single word, 1t would be in the affirmative. There Is a cure for sick headaches, but there are also some cases which are extremely stubborn and which require considerable time before they can be overcome. One of : the most effective means of cure for this dreaded condition was mentioned by me year or so ago in a lecture on the subject of special diet for biliousness:" have had many re- ports from those who fol owed the sug- gestion. Sick headaches cannot be cur ed by the use of calon1el and other poi sons, nor can they be permanently ov- ercome by opiates. The cure lies in incerasing the activity of the liver and the bowels-in fact, of all of the organs of elimination Space does not allow me to go into the matter more deeply at the present time.

Merilo. a Finlander. went crazy sud
denly late yesterday afternoon, ran
amuck with a revolver and shot Chris

The bullet entered Bucks neck and
at first was considered dangerous but
there is now no doubt Of his recovery.
A coroners jury today. brought in a
verdict that Merilo shot himself while

Proprietor Pritchett of the Mer-
chants hotel, in discussing Merilo's
actions since he has been in the hotel
said that the man acted rather odd.
esterday, however, he had quite a
talk with him. This morning about
3 o'clock Pritchett went up to call
Merilo for breakfast. He failed to
arouse him and finally looked over the
transom. Merilo. who was lying on
the bed fully dressed, jumped up. and
pointed a revolver at him. When be
recognized the landlord, he laid down
on the bed again but did not come
down for breakfast.
About o'clock in the afternoon Mr..
Pritchett learned that there was a
farmer In the city looking for men.
He went upstairs and informed Merilo,
who had not been out of his room all
day, of the fact. The Finlander re-
piled that he would be right down.
When Merilo came into the hotel
lobby Pritchett was standing near
the hall door talking to a travelling
man, while his sister was behind the
desk. Pritchett turned as MeriIo en-
tered the room and found himself
looking into the muzzle OF q revolver.
He at once realized that the man was
crazy There was an immediate scat
tering of people. The travelling man
went out the door and Pritchett fol-
lowed, while his sister ran into the
dining room. The insane Finn fired
just as Pritchett slammed the door
behind him. The crazy man followed
Pritchett half way across the street to
the bank. where the terrified hotel
man intended to secure help. Ap-
parently changing his mind, Merilo
turned and went back to the hotel.
He entered the front hall and started
upstairs. characteristics. mattresses

He heard the noise and annarentlxy
stepped out into the hall to see what
was happening. He had hardly got
ten out Of his room when Merilo
came down the hall and without a
word fired. His aim was accurate, the
bullet passing through Mr.. Bucks
neck on the left side just above the
collar bone. AS he saw his victim fall
the blood gushing In a stream from
his wound. with fiendish cry OF
glee, Merilo turned the revolver on
himself and emptied the remaining
three shots into his right side. He
died In few minutes.
