SAFETY OF THE NATION

In a stirring address to private party of newspaper men, J. Stuart Blackton, author and producer of the great preparedness film The Battle Cry of Peace" said that the final sal vation of the country would be up to the country newspaper. If the rural newspaper-the country weekly and the small town daily-get behind the preparedness movement and de- mand action by Congress, Blackton said, then we will see an appropria- ton during this session that will be a good starter Of course to get any where we will need a series of appro- priations-a program for navy and army which, spread over period of years, will give us eventually what protection we need. But if the small town newspaper refuses to call for preparedness, and prefers pork in- stead, the movement will fail. The protection of America is in the hands of the country editor.
 MT. Blackton's speech for prepar- edness followed the viewing of news paper men of the film The Battle Cry of Peace," in which the author shows how helpless the United States would be in case of attack by foreign foes. New York streets are bonn barded, homes are attacked, women and children terrified and fathers ta- ken out, lined up against wall and

shot. The handful of American sol diers are a joke to the invaders and enemy ships sand off our shores, and out of range of our guns, and batter to pieces our coast defenses. These possibilities are not without the basis of fact,'5 said Mr. Blackton, in his ad dress. Instead of being a sleeping giant, we are a helpless babe. The dream of universal peace has been shattred We have learned that na- tions will break solemn treaties when they think it to their advantage to do so. The world is but little different from what it was a thousand years ago. But we, in the democracy of the United States, are full partners. Ev- cry citizen should be able to transfer himself into a soldier for the defense Of his country This is not imperialis- tic: it is the very essence of a demo- cracy that would live"

WASHINGTON, D. C.,-The stot leggings worn by members of the United States Marine Corps are not a purely decorative adjunct to their very natty uniforms, as popularly SUD- posed by civilians, but are protection for the men against tropical diseases while in foreign service, naval sur geOns say.
 Many of the most dangerous tropi- cal diseases are transmitted gy the bites of insects. Among these are malaria, yellow fever, bubonic plague, hookworm, elephantiasis and tropical ulcer. Pleas and mosquitos are the prime carriers and they make their first attack upon the ankles, thence working their way over the whole body.
 The leggings worn by the United States Marines afford splendid pro- lection to the ankles against fleas, mosquitos and infected dirt.

Miscellaneous Answers

Miss Rand-For brittle nails, rub vaseline upon them every night.
 Dark Upper Lip.-A pinch of borax in the water will tighten the dark up- per lip shade. It will also prevent blackheads and greasiness of the skin.
 Mole on the Cheek-The mole on your cheek can be removed either by electroIoysis or a harmless prepara- tion, and leave no scar. There is not the least pain or danger in the removal of thes blemishes.
 Bust Development-If your general health is good, you can restore your bust by hygienic methods. Discard your corset when at home. At other times wear a low-cut one that will not constrict the bust. Practice deep breathing exercises also free gym nastics for chest and arms. Use a massage roller and some good tissue builder every night and sponge the chest repeatedly with cool water ev- cry morning. In taking special eX- ercises much greater good can be accomplished by fixing the mind don the object to be attained and letting the mind direct the movements which should be concentrated and not aim- less Exercises taken in a wandering desultory manner are of little avail.
