Three parts of white vaseline and
one Of bismuth makes an old and
well-kn0wn ointment for skin dis
eases.
A Honolulu remedy for sore throat
is fresh pineapple, as much as one can
digest. The effect is said to be mar
velous.
Among the various causes for
crossness of children are some very
common ones, such as hunger or
thirst, improper sleep, overeating, un-
comfortable clothing, and the per-
nicious feeding Of sweets.
Brushing is good for the hair, as it
brings the blood to the scalp, and the
blood brings nourishment. A sham
poo once a month or oftener, if the
hair gets very dirty, Is also essential
to keep the hair soft, fluffy and
healthy.
Egg yolk nourishes the nervous
system. 1t contains lecithin, an es-
sential to all nerve substance. This
lecithin can be purchased in the ex-
trated form. It is said that children
and young animals fed with lecithin
grow more rapidly.
For the little hacking cough that
keeps the household awake at night,
bind a cloth wrung out of quite cold
water around the throat and over this
pin a dry cloth. One application Is
usually enough, but II not, more than
twice wetting the cloth will not be
required.

It's not that he's obligin'
Good-lookin' or a saint
Dear God (who made him out of mud)
Knows we'll that's what he amt.
He never lent me money;
He never saved my life:
An he don't like the brand I smoke,
An I don't like his wife.
He's not so quick an clever;
That is, not as rule;
At times (the times We dlsagree)
He seems a sort of fool.
But still it somehow thrills me
To grip his hearty hand;
I guess the thing that makes us stick
Is that we understa tand.
I understand the varmint;
Sometimes he savvys he,
And that's what makes a man your pal
As far as / can see.

TAKE TIME FOR REST.

XS rule, women who lead active
~ lives are too much inclined to
disregard the subject of their health.
AS long as they can go on with their
daily round of duties, they do not
stop to inquire the reason why they
are frequently troubled with head
ache, Indigestion or sleeplessness, and
that they take their petty worries
more to heart than was formerly the
case. In fact, they fail to recognize
that their powers of physical endur-
ance have limit, and that contin-
ual strain of mind and body cannot go
on forever. A woman, whether she is
burdened with social duties, home
duties, or remunerative occupation,
can generally, by the exercise of a
little thought and management, avoid
overtaxing her strength. She should
remember the greater the tax on the
mental and physical energies the
more need there is for sufficient rest,
not only In the form of sleep, but in
such recreation as will divert her
thought into another channel, and
produce sense of invigoration. If
possible, a time should be set apart
during the day when she can be left
mdisturbed, even if only for an hour.
Such pause in busy life will do
much to restore the tagging nerve
power, and will enable a woman to be
a brighter and more agreeable COM
panion than If she is utterly tired out.

Notes on Health and Sanitation
DANGER FROM DULL RAZORS.

TINY prolonged irritation of the
~ skin is dangerous. For although
the nature of cancer Is not we'll un-
derstood, it is pretty clearly estab-
lished that certain cancers are pro-
duced by irritation.
In India a peculiar skin cancer is
thought to be caused by the use of
dull razor. The seat of this cancer is
the scalp; and as the Mohammedans
and Hindus shave the head in part or
as whole, using extremely dull
razors that scrape and mutilate, it is
believed that the cancers are due
to this repeated irritation. If scrap
ing and mutilation will cause can
Ger in the tough skin of the scalp
there Is every reason for thinking
that similar mistreatment may cause
eancerous growths in the delicate
skin of the face.
Another example of irritation pro-
ducing cancer is that of the cancers
in the abdominal walls that afflict
the natives of Kashmir, province ad-
joining the Puniab. The irritation is
caused by small earthenware vessel
surrounded by basketwork, used to
contain charcoal fire, and worn by
the natives suspended from the waist,
under the flowing robes and next to
the skin, for the purpose of protect
ing them against cold. The prolonged
irritation produced by this means
often eventuates in epithelioma (skin
cancer), with involvement of the
glandular structures"

count of the eight-hour law or of
whether he is tired or short-handed.
There are times when he must rise
before he is properly rested, and be-
gin his days work tired and sore;
nor can he, as when a wage-earner,
leave his work behind him on Satur-
day noon with no thought of it again
till Monday morning.
Il have laid the more emphasis
upon the exacting nature of the
farmers work because so many city
dwellers see In farming an easy way
of getting living, and, from being
long accustomed to a taskmaster,
forget that a man who is working
for himself, II earnest and resolute
and determined to succeed, may find
in the demands of his farm a harder
taskmaster than he ever worked for
before.
II would counsel the greatest eau
tion in all who are thinking of taking
up farming on small means, it is right
for me to say that for a man who is
resolute and resourceful, who has
learned to know the real values of
things. and who, from sureness of
his fitness for the work and care
full weighing OF his resources, can
see his way clear to reasonable
chance of success, farming offers an
exceedingly inviting field, and one
that is worthy OF both effort and self
sacrifice"

100000 Waste
Continued From Page 81

these disappear likewise the worry
incident to the numerous elements
of uncertainty involved in collecting.
Thus at once are eliminated tugs and
scows and their crews. The expense
of collecting is but trifle more than
that of disposal by dumping through
the cannery floor, and is decidedly
cheaper than the method resorted to
BY some canneries.
AS the producer and consumer Of
the raw materials are one and the
same, the conflict between the inter-
ests of the two disappears. Contracts
working hardship upon the one or
the other are an Objectionable feature
of the central rendering station plan
as actually practiced.
With a strictly by-products plant,
overhead charges disappear. The can
merry already has it's clerical force and
its sales and purchasing depart
ments, which, without any increase in
their force, are quite able to handle
the slight additional labor incident
to the by-products plant. Likewise
it has the assistance of experienced
foremen and mechanicians regularly
attached to the cannery force, and the
use Of the supplementary equipment,
such as machine shops, OF the can
merry. Likewise, the docks, and fire.
Quently the unused floor space of the
cannery, can serve to cut down the
initial expenditures.

Significance of MOttled Hands.

The condition known as "mottled
hands," which is not uncommon, is
popularity believed to be the result of
bad digestion. The immediate cause
of the condition, however, is de-
rangement of the circulation in the
small blood vessels of the hand and
forearm.
In elderly persons this condition is
sometimes accompanied by giddiness,
due to deranged circulation in the
middle ear. Yet curiously enough,
both conditions are caused by the
same thing-the fact that the nerve
wiring" of the hand and ear are on
the same circuit.
The disordered stomach sends
nerve impulse to nerve Center"
which acts as the receiving station
for nerve messages. The distorted
messages from the stomach upset the
central" arrangement so that false
messages get into the circuit con-
trolling the circulation of the hands
and the ears, which results in mot
Ting and dizziness.
AS the seat of the trouble is in the
digestive tract, it is obvious that the
best way to correct the difficulty~is to
restore normal digestion.
Can Gallstones Be Dissolved?
The quest for some substance that
will dissolve gallstones that form In
the gall bladder is an old one. For
gladstone disease Is rather common
affliction after middle life, causes
great suffering, menaces life, and in
wolves a dangerous operation for cor
rection.
One of the great obstacles that in
terfere with finding gladstone
remedy is our ignorance of the cause
of the malady. We know that the
stones are formed from bile; but as
yet it has not been determined in
just what respect this gladstone form
ing bile differs from the normal
fluid.
Some German scientists recently
tried the experiment Of transferring
human gallstones to the gall blad-
ders of dogs, giving the dogs spe-
cial diet, and Carlsbad water. The
stones were gradually dissolved.
The success of this experiment sug-
gested that Calsbad water might
prove to be the long-sought solvent.
But later experiments showed that
the gallstones disappeared whether
the dogs were given Carlsbad water
or not. In short, 1t was the dog, not
the liquid, that did the work. Never
theless, mineral waters sometimes
give grateful, even II temporary, re-
lief to some gladstone sufferers.
Narcotics and Mental Stability.
There is one quite common danger
signal indicative of somewhat un-
stable nervous makeup that every
individual can gauge, and should
heed. This is the effects of alcohol.
Persons who are abnormally sensitive
to small quantities Of alcoholic drinks
have less stable mental equilibrium
than those WHO are not affected by
reasonable potations. Persons of this
peculiarly sensitive type should avoid
alcohol in every form, and should
practice mental hygiene, at least to
the extent Of avoiding the better
known dangers 10 mental equilibrium,
such as bursts OF anger, brooding,
and tendencies 70 dependency or ex-
cesses of any Kind. For their idio-
syncracy is most significant.

FIRE PREVENTION DAY
IN VIRGINIA IS TODAY
Persons Are Urged to Take Such Steps
As Will Make Fires in State
Improbable.

Today Is Fire-Prevention Day. Gov
ernor Stuart some weeks ago designat
ed October as Fire-PreSention Day
and today. citizens in all parts of the
state will observe the day by taking
some measure or measures to make
property more safe from destruction
by fire.
In. the cities, in the towns and in
the country places and on the farms
and in the woods of Virginia people
will observe caution In the making Of
fires In the cities and towns and other
dwelling places the cold snap that has
arrived will lead many to the building
of the fires for the winter that is rapid
ly approaching.
Wherever such fires are lighted tho
people are cautioned to first see that
hues are cleaned out, that fireplaces
are free OF rubbish and stuff that has
collected during the summer months.
and that chimneys are clear of OBJ
structione. They are cautioned to see
that yards are cleaned. They are eau
toned to see that receptacles OF wood
or other iafiammable materials do not
contain such articles as with feed a
fire that would endanger buildings.
Persons going In the woods are eau
toned against the careless throwing
aside Of matches: are cautioned against
building larger campfires than needed;
are cautioned against setting fire to
woods in trying to drive animals out
of hollow logs or trees.
= Forest fires burn about $500. 600 OF
merchantahle timber in Virginia an
nually and the fire loss in cities and
other communities, even whore there
are trained fire departments. is much
heavier that il should be with the
proper observance of a few simple rules
of FIRE prevention.
