HILL CLIMBING: People who live in bungalows and in a level coun- try have a problem to solve that is of far greater importance than most of them would ever realize. A bungalow is a dwelling house in which there are no stairs to climb and as there are no hills in a level country the muscles of the heart are liable to become weak along with many other mus cles, as we'll as the lungs, simply from lack of exercise City dwelleTs
 especially those who live in large cities. where land is very valuable and dwellings as we'll as business houses must have several stories with many stairs to climb, have really an ad- vantage which in the great majority of eases they know not of
 During the time we have been liv- ing in Chicago in an apartment we have been obliged, on account of our four active boys, to ..ve the first floor Of course, we have all felt as though we were being cheated out of something of great value. The boys, of course, made up for a DOT ton of their loss by running, jump ing, wrestling, and other outdoor play that is natural to boys, no matter where they are. I also was partly compensated by walking to and from
 my office, clirnhing the office stairs, etc, but one day when. we cHn7b bed the stairs to take an elevated train or street car, SI noticed that my plump and rugged wife was tout of breath" and alI in" when we reached the platform. After that I observed her closely for some time and I found that she could not stand much of a walk and even her household duties seemed great burden
 As soon it looked at all prom tsing I carted the whole family off to the woods in Michigan for the sum rner camp. From four to eight times daily they go down and up the bluff to lake, the air is pure and clean, there are no street cars and the will lage store is nearly a mile away. They live in the open air. When the cold rains come they build a roaring fire in the fireplace of the rough summer cottage and are happy in spite of bad weather.

 Bunions are enlargements, due to pressure of the ends of the bones which form the joints affected. The cause is wearing in past years of shoes more or less pointed, whose shape and size forced the toes out of their normal position and crowded tn ern together toward the middle line of the foot. Wear shoes built accord ing to the natural lines of the foot. Keep pressure off the joints by using bunion pads or plasters. Obtain through your druggist an apparatus to keep the big toe in it's proper alignment, as last resort, have one or both of the enlarged bone ends removed.

Dear Doctor: I have been suffering with cold limbs, not an ordinary cold feeling, but a peculiar stinging cold. The backs of my heels feel very cold, while my feet would be quite warm. Sometimes the cold will go up the calves of my legs as far as the knees. always at the back. The hack part of my arms also have the same feel ing and I can feel the cold in my arms when I am resting them on a, table cover in a warm room. My right arm and leg are worse than the left Yes- terday and today the cold seems to have gone around my legs. To the touch they do not feel uncomfortable. The only time they feel warm is when am in bed, and then experience burning sensation.

I am scarcely ever sick and do not feel the need of a doctor, but would be very pleased to haN6 some light on my condition as explained above.
 MRS. c. B.
 am inclined to think that the diff ficu1ty in your case is due to an inn judgement of certain nerves of the spine. You have either had a, severe strain or a fall which has very likely disarranged the spinal column, and there is a pressure some of the nerves which interfere with their ac- ton. The best method of treatment would be for you to apply very thorough hot fermentation to the full length of the spine, according to the method described in Vol. 9 of the Home Health Club books and which has also been described in these col umns. The fermentation should be applied to the entire length of the back for about one hour every other night for a week, when I think you will have no further trouble. PIungfng the feet into very cold water every morning on rising from bed, then quickly drying them and rubbing with the hands until they glow would also be beneficial.

PLANTING TULIP AND NARCIsSUS
 BULBS FOR NEXT SPRING

If you would have rich beds of tul- fp or give the beds or the corners of your lawns a beautiful spring-lfl1e vel low or white glow of narcissus, daffo- dil and jonquil you must begin to think of the early spring appearance of your garden in the fall, for the bulbs of these two flowers must be planted in the fall before the ground is frozen. In fact, this work should be undertaken as soon as or before an early frost has begun to make the annual flowers in the beds look weak ened. In dealing with narcissus, which is the family to which the daffodiI and jonquil belong, it might be well to think of trying to natura1ize the narcissus to grow and blossom on the lawn much as do the wild flowers. How to plant and handle the bulbs as

Of the activity Of foreign spies in the

Julius Caesar Burrows

Julius Caesar Burrows, who is dead
at IS, had a public career which has
seldom been equaled in this country.
Born in Pennsylvania and educated in
Ohio, he went to Michigan in 1860 as
principal oi a seminary, although a
licensed attorney, When the civil war
broke out he became captain in the
Seventeenth Michigan Infantry, which
he helped raise, and served with credit
in many battles. After serving as
circuit commissioner and prosecuting
attorney, he was elected to the Forty
third Congress in 1872. With three
intermissions, he served in the House
until elected to the Senate to fiji va
cancy in January, 1895. He was a
senator for sixteen years and at the ex-
pirat;on OF his term continued to act as
vice chairman Of the National None
tary Commission until it ended its
work.

out oI credit for services rendered the

They point out that the voting Of

Speaking Of MiHurities

Senator Oscar Underwood Of Alabami
is about to don his toga. Already h,
is bursting with great ideas regarding
the senate. He is strong for cloture-
polite French term which, by inter.
pre,ation, means gag rule" Mr..
Underwood is accustomed to applying
the gag rule, having learned to do SC
when he was foreman OF the congres
sional crew that did Woodrow Wilson s
bidding at the Capitol. His argument
for transferring this instrument Of po-
litical oppression to the senate-where
from the beginning free speech has
prevailed and greatly benefited the
country-is that the senate is dis
tinctly minority body. 1t does not
represent a majority Of the people Of
the country"
Sesators are elected by states. II
Mr.. Underwood was thinking OF him
self rnd OF his own state, he is abso-
lutely correct. For he does not repre-
sent anything like a majority OF the
people OF Alabama.
Mr.. Underwood was elected to the
senate in 1914. By the census Of
1910, Alabama had 2,l38,093 inhabi'
tants, who certainly had not diminished
in number four weeks later. Yet Mr..
Underwood, when elected senator, re-
ceived only $3.50 votes. His re.
publican opponent had 1880;
progressive candidate had 4,263; a
socialist got 1859; there were 2 scat
tering; a total vote Of Sl,133 out OF
population Of 2,l3S,093.
OF the other states which elected
senators in 1914, the nearest to Ala
bama in point Of population is Iowa,
which had 2,224,77l inhabitants by
the census OF 1910.
Iowa in 1914 voted thus on the
senatcrship: Cummins, republican,
205,832; Connolly, democrat, l67,-
Isl, Spurgeon, independent, "a, 400;
Schenck, progressive s,05s; Christian,
prohibition, 5000; McCrillis, socialist,
8,462. This makes a total Of 427, ,l02
votes out OF a population Of 2, 2,224,77l.
In other words, while there we're
345,96,382 more population in Iowa
than in Alabama, there were 345, 1863
more votes cast. II Alabama had
had voted as freely as Iowa did, there
would have been 4l0,461 ballots cast
instead Of the beggarly Sl,l33.
There is no mystery in these figures.
In Iowa every citizen Of voting age
may 60 to the polls and vote as he
pleases in the full assurance that his
vote will be counted as cast. In Ala
bama large majority Of the citizens
ol voting age are not permitted to ap-
proach the polIing'place by reason ot
peculiar statutes which constitute
political gag rule even more vicious
than the one which Mr.. Underwood
now proposes for the Senate.
II THE senate is distinctly minority
body, it is because Mr.. Underwood
and other democratic senators from the
southern states form so large a per
centsge Of its membership.
