Questions and Answers.
L. J. G. II. writes: l have read ev-
eryone of your health talks and find
them very interesting. 1t has often
been asserted that people eat too much
and believe it. How can over-eating
be avoided?
Reply.
By adhering to the good old formula:
Eat when you are hungry and drink
when you're dry. Don't eat to be soci-
able. or to please your wife, or to pro-
tect your health, or to avoid fainting.
Eat to satisfy your appetite, and be
sure you do no more than that-not a
morsel more. II two meals a day will
suffice, eat two meals. II meat is mere
ly luxury, avoid il. II breakfast time
finds you are not particularly hungry,
let II go, and wait for lunch. Always
stop eating before you begin to feel
that sense OF weight and fullness.
Mrs. F. o. II. asks: Will you kindly
state whether milk or magnesia" is a
good remedy to take for hives?
Reply.
AS hives ordinarily depends upon
some particular food which the patient
has eaten, such as shell fish, certain
cheeses. etc, an active cathartic is u.s.
ually needed. Milk or magnesia.
though rather mild. is good for the
purpose.

Round worms, (ascaris lumbricoi
des). are found in the small intestine
more frequently than any other para
I site. A round worm resembles a com
mon earth worm, only it is paler. The
male worm averages four inches in
length, the female six. Round worms
occur more frequently in children,
though not rarely in adults.
How they gain access to the intes'
tines is not certain, but it is probably
by ingestion-the eggs are swallowed
in food or drinking water, as in the
case of most parasites. Any food
which could possibly become contami-
mated by the excreta from person
who harbors round worms might easily
convey the eggs.
Symptoms.
a child or adult may have round
worms for months or years and never
show any indication OF illness or dis
comfort. The worms occasionally are
passed from the bowel of a perfectly
healthy host.
a common picture in children who
have worms is that of acute in
testinal indigestion This may be pro-
duced by worms or by errors OF diet in
a child who harbors no parasites. The
symptoms are: Fever. vomiting or
nausea, loss OF appetite, nervousness
and twitching in sleep. heavy sweet
breath (acetone in the breath from
Preventative process in digestive
tracD. flushed cheeks. white lines
about the corners of the mouth, bright
eyes. perhaps picking at the nose or
frequent nervous swallowing-in short
all the worm symptoms" of the alma
macs and fake worm medicine booklets.
But remember, none of these symp-
toms are positive proofs of worms
they indicate merely acute intestinal
indigestion, and more commonly this
is due to an error OF diet.
The only sure sign of worms is the
passing of a worm from the bowel In
rare instances a round worm is vom-
tied. Cases are reported in which
round worm has made its way into the
gall duct and caused obstruction and
jaundice. or a mass of round worms
have caused intestinal obstruction.

THE DENEEN DEFICIT.

/ The levying of a state tax rate OF
! 20 cents on the hundred dollars by the
/ Illinois state tax commission in 1913
was made necessary by the failure OF
the tax commission under Governor De.
neen to levy a rate sufficiently high
TO meet the appropriations made by
\ the legislature OF 1911 for the years
| 1911 and 1912. II was merely the pay
I ing of the debts of the state which
were contracted by the preceding ad-
ministratiOn. The increase in the rate
was not brought about by an increase
of expenditures by the democratic ad-
ministration, but was forced upon the
democratic tax commission by the
playing OF peanut politics" by Cover
nor Deneen and his associates after
they were defeated in the general cleo
ton OF 1912.
Figures given out by the tax com
mission show that the tax rate of 3S
cents levied by the Deneen commits
sion, created a deficiency for the two
years. 1911 and 1912, amounting to
s5,424,73O. This deficiency was an
obligation on the state OF Illinois.
which the democratic administration
was compelled to meet, and the only
way to meet II was TO levy taxes
therefor. II the DuBne tax commits
sion had been willing to play politics

years and make an apparent showing

10 pay them. This was not the policy
Of The Deneen administration. but Il
disposed of the debts OF the state by
unloading them on the democratic ad-
ministratiOn.
a tax rate Of 80 cents was calculated
by the fiscal officers of the Deneen ad-
ministration as necessary TO meet the
appropriations made by the legisla-
ture. and there is not the slightest
question that the rate levied by the
Deneen commission would have been
50 cents instead of 80 cents had IL not
been for the fact that Deneen was de-
feated. and he was anxious to put the
incoming administration in hole
through the failure TO levy a sufficient
tax rate to meet the appropriations
made by the legislature.
An individual who contracts debts
which he does not intend to pay may
make a showing OF economy, but II
IS not a fair one. and a state govern
ment is in exactly the same position
Governor Deneen and his tax COM
mission placed the state of Illinois
in the position OF making debts and
making no provision to pay them.
