less and obviously of one room, held
up a wretched lean-to that sagged

door was merely a patch Of greater
darkness in the gray picture, Behind

At first she thought it an abandoned
shack, but as they drew near the stile
a dark object lazily rose. resolving it
self into a small boy of perhaps
eleven. He had been sitting hunched
up there at gaze with his hands
clasped around his thin knees.
AS he came to his feet he revealed
thin stature swallowed up in hick-
ory shirt and an overample pair of
butternut trousers that had evidently
come down in honorable heritage from
elder brethren. His small face wore
sharp, prematurely old expression
as he stood staring up at the new arri-
walls and hitching at the single gal
lus" which supported the family
breeches. Z.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
A FREQUENT Vicious Circle,

I have been following your sugges-
tions for the relief of constipation. but
do not obtain satisfactory results.
have been troubled with protruding
piles for ten years. The latter con-
ditions grows worse all the time.
have never obtained any benefit from
pile cures. Would it help my consti-
Grated on? You stated that piles cause
and in another place you
said that constipation causes piles.
CIV. NJ. P)
Answer-Your pAA should be op-
Grated on. Constipation aggravates
piles which are already present and
most cathartic of vegetable or herb
origin cause piles if used over a con-
siderable period. due to the pelvic con-
gestion produced by the aloes and
other cheap crude ingredients. The
muscle spasm of the sphincter or con-
troll muscle, increased by the pile con-
Gition, and increased by fear of pain,
aggravates constipation. SO you have
taking a little ether and having the
piles cured in the only certain way.
of course no local or internal remedy
can cure piles-Which are varicose

mentioned for acne can be admins
tered by an ordinary doctor or must
one so to a specialist? Arc there, in
this country, any genuine specialists
for the treatment of skin troubles?

TALKS ON HEALTH
The Moisture in the Air.
DR.. William Brady.

/ A reference to the abnormal and in
| furious dryness of the air of over
heated apartments has brought in a
deluge of letters from readers who
want to know.
For one thing, we suggested potted
plants in the living rooms, and speci-
fled porous, unglazed pots. From the
home Of an expert meteorological comes
a mild protest that the quantity of
moisture vaporated from flower pots
is so small that it is difficult to see
isn't merely evaporation from the sur
face of the pots. The plants them
selves give off large mounts of mois-
ture to the air. A window full OF
plants is quite little forest. A man,
gives off about four pounds of watery
vapor from skin and lungs each "a.
hours. A small tree gives off an enor-
nous quantity of moisture each day,
and even household plants give off
considerable quantities.
Another reader measures the per-
centage of moisture by means Of the
sling psychrometer employed by L. S.
government weather observers He
finds that he can keep the humidity
around 40 per cent by evaporating
large amounts of water from pans. but
when it rises above 40 the windows
became steamed over and the wife
shuts the blamed apparatus off. From
80 to 10 per cent is the proper hu-
mildly, as q rule. This gentleman
fails to speak of the temperature. If
the temperature goes high the air Is
likely to be dried out excessively, If
the temperature is kept between GA
and IS degrees Fahrenheit the mois-
ture will generally be about right. 1t
doesn't matter what the means OF
heating is.
Between GA and IS degrees Fahren-
heit is a sort of neutral zone in which
the humidity of the air has little or no
effect upon persons sitting in the
room. This is the ideal temperature
to nantain-and experience has
abundantly demonstrated that babies,
children, young, middle aged and eld-
erly people are all alike most comfort |
able at this temperature. SiXty-six !
Fahrenheit may be taken as the ideal !
temperature of perfect autumn day !
and who will find fault with such Il |
day in this ideal country of ours?

How to Avoid Stomach Troubles.

Digestion begins in the month. Food
should be thoroughly masticated. Your
food should be suited to your age and
occupation. People of sedentary habits
should eat little meat. but should drink
an abundance of water, especially when
they first get up in the morning and
between meals. When you feel dull and
stupid after eating, that shows that
you have eaten too much. The bowels
should be kept regular. When needed
take a dose of Chamherlain's Tablets,
They will improve your digestion and
move the bowels-Adv. #s

CORN AND OATS FALL
Sinking of Algonquin by Sub
marine Adds to Unsteadi-
ness of Market.

Chicago, March 14.-Railroad mo-
tees of freight refusal on account of
the threatened strike smashed the
wheat market today after prices had
been greatly unsettled by the action of
German submarine in sinking the
American food-laden steamship Al
Eonquin. Quotations which at one
time showed an extreme break of 6
cents bushel closed nervous, 1M to
5 cents net lower with May at s1.76A
to $1.77 and July at $152ss to $1.52E@
Other commodities, too, all finished at
a loss-corn down IA to Ia cents,
oats to 1am1ss and provisions, 10
to 81 cents lower.
Opinions at first in the wheat trade
had seemed much divided as to the
natural consequences that the market
should manifest in relation to the
sinking of the Algonquin. Bulls con-
tended that the event notably height
ened the chances of war outright be-
tween Germany and the United States
and therefore would tend to halt the
railway strike.
Corn sympathized with the depres-
sion in wheat. Oats like, other grain,
We're dominated chiefly by the beArish
influence of the railroad traffic out
look.
Provisions as well as cereals weak
ened in the face of growing difficult
ties of transportation Besides, lower
quotations on hogs formed a source of
disbursement to holders.
