or I call it that as it is just below the breast bone in the waist line. I get deathly sick in that spot It is a feel ing l cannot describe for it is beyord words I will have the spells quite often and then will have no trouble for quite a while. They seem to come on more often if I lift anything very heavy in. front of men-for instance, lifting pail of water onto a tabIo. l try to be very careful not to dc this, but sometimes get in a hurry and forget. Sometimes I have pains across the lower part of the stomach also.
 (Answer) The condition which vou have described is one which scan be overcome by proper treatment but this
 treatment must be a revolutionary character, the old tissues replaced, and practically the body must be torn down and rebuilt This may seem to be strange statement but it can be done more easily than you might inns ag1ne. If you had been reading my lectures long enough you would know that have frequently made ths statement that person is what he eats. Your body is composed of what has laid on your plate. nothing else; therefore it is fair to presume that if
 change is to be made in your body it is first to be made on your plate. In order to aid you in making sugges- tions in regard to diet it will be nec-
 essary for me to know what you eat and drink, how much and how often, whether you drink while eating, also whether or not you are subject to worrying spells; if you get angry cas- fly or not.
 In the meantime until may be able to map out a system of treatment
 for you, when the spells come on you
 should lie down, have hot applica- tions placed on your stomach, take
 a third of a teaspoonful of cayenne pepper. If you have some charcoal tablets on hand take two of these and drink immediately after cup of 1 hot water.
 1 Dear Doctor: As have read sever al of your lectures in the Home
 Health club columns thought that you would be willing to give me some
 much needed advice. am the oldest daughter on a large farm where there are many men, hired help and stock
 men coming and going. I feel that often the bed linen and towels need other care than the usual wash.
 Would you kindly tell me of disin- fectapt that will render the articles
 fit for use and make the cleansing of
 them safe for the person doing 1t. S. L. k, t(Answer) There is no sterilizing
 agent more powerful than heat The simple act of boiling any sheet or pillow case, towel or article Of un-
 der wear renders it perfectly sterile. would suggest, however, that you
 procure pair of rubber gloves such as many housekeepers wear while lwashing dishes and always wear these gloves while handling any bedding or other clothing that is at ali suspfcd- ous Wash the gloves thoroughly with I soap in warm hot water, before talk ling them off after handling the sotled linen.

WOMAN'S PART IN
 RAISING FUND OF
 RED CROSS SOCIETY
tBy Mabel T. Boardman. Membe

tBy Mabel T. Boardman, Member Nr the Executive Committed
 Thx United States is raising an -.<rny of a million young men this ..a4sanner. That means that a million oSners snd many hundreds of thous- ands of sisters and wives, as we'll as women citizens of this country, are automatically. to the fullness of their hearts, enlisted in the great army of the Red Cross. Through us and through us alone can the prayer of those women that American men fighting for liberty in France shall suffer no single needless pain be an- swered-
 The tasks that lie before the women of the country are legion. From the professional nurse who goes into a base hospital somewhere in France, the volunteer nurses aid who does the ward housework, the woman who sews the sheets and pillow cases somewhere at home" the busy gov ernment clerk who spends her even ings tabulating registration at head quarters every woman can find her work under the Red Cross.
 My boy went with. Pershing," a Southern mother visiting in Washing ton said to me the other day; you must give me something hard to do. Your Red Cross relief is relief for me as we'll as for him. While my hands and my mind are busy with service. nothing can be too hard to bear, no suspense or no fears"
 Work in the Red Cross is just that s--the way out for American women. But it is not enough that we sew and mlGe bandages. serve in hospitals, and care for the women and children these men left behind themI You cant make bricks without straw. You cant make sheets without sheet1ng. nor bandages without gauge. We must not only make things. but we must give out a sense that no generosity can be commensurate with the sacri- flee of life American men are pre- pared to make, the money to purchase the raw materials of our work Small sums and large, every penny, every thousand dollars, helps. There must never be a time when the American Red Cross cannot afford to render the finest service in the world tc those who have gone to fight for us

sCHooLGIRL's MIND.

O. l.. writes: "A school girls mind does not proceed like the mind of an
 aldult, read. It is said to initiate the
 motions at time, of a grasshopper It sings in the summer and dances in the
 winter. Their munitions are like a flash of electric candle. Or it plays the bat, shuts it's eyes tight in day light, folds its wings, hooks on to any convenient excuse and goes fast to sleep. Is this a true version? Please give opinion"

A Chicago.)
 TRUE ECONOMY: It. is of course the big thing for all of us that we produce food. I am devoting all of my spare time and am enlisting the energy and enthusiasm of my four little boys in the production of all the food we can raise on nearly two acres of a fairly fertile garden patch. We have our half an acre of potatoes and hope for enough corn to feed our hens through the winter. Vegetables that can be kept in a fresh state until they can again be grown we shall so keep, but there are many that cannot be kept in their natural state and canning is going to be out of the question for most of us this year on account of the shortage in both tin and glass containers.
 When I was a boy my mother used to dry pumpkins, squash and sweet corn as well as fruits and this can be done by you and I this season. The reason that all kinds off resh fruits ard vegetables rot so quickly or are spoiled by freezing is because of the water that is in them. Remove the water and they can be kept in warm or cold temperature almost indefin- itely. One of the great troubles that the commercial drying of vegetables has experienced has been that in ap- plying artificial heat for the purpose of dehydrating the delicate volatile oil which gives odor and flavor to them is quickly destroyed or: lost and while the vegetable retains the nour- ishing elements it is not at all pleas ing to the sense of taste or smell.
 !, Irio ,of iS fore a better product than that which is obtained through the usual factory methods for the reason that the wa ter is slowly evaporated by gentle ar tificial heat or by the action of the sun and wind, the result is product that will keep we'll and Aretains the qualities of the fresh vegetables.
 A new method of commercial dehy- dration is now about ready for the market and I am informed that a small plant can be set up that would care. for the surplus fruits and vege- tables of several farms and the cost according to the size of the plant would run from $500 up to 5000. By this. new method the vegetables are first subjected to thorough immer- sion in very intense live steam for certain period, after which the pro-
  the odor, flavor and color isl all re- tained in the bone dry product One of the features of this new process is that the now useless pro- perty in bone dry states, formerly used for beer making, is admirably adapted for making this splendid product. There is another way, in which we assa people ought at once ] to economic and that is by saving ,, the tin cans. Thrown away, they are | a nuisance, but if carefully handled and cleaned as soon as emptied they i can be readily used again and all that l is required is a new top. The olo top that is spoiled by the can opener is easily removed and a new one eas. lily put on. If we'll cared for there is no reason why the average tin car
 should not do duty several times in stead of once.

WASHINGTON, July 2, The United States has proposed to Ger many through the Spanish govern ment that each country agree to grant to military and naval officers of the other country who may be ta- ken prisoners of war the rate of pay as officers of corresponding rank in the capturing forces receive.
 The second Hague convention pro- vides that officers taken prisoners shall receive the same rate of pay as officers of corresponding rank in the country where they are detained. the amount to be ultimately refunded by their own government"
 Both the United States and Ger many are signatories of this article, but there is great question if any of the Hague agreements are still in force.

VALENTINE MUST SIGN WARRANT
 FOR CHIEF
Mayor Ordered by Judge Jennings to Obey the Orders of the
 City Council.

The official municipal atmosphere was considerably cleared this morn ing when Judge R. w. Jennings is sued an order making permanent the alternative writ of mandamus against Mayor Emery Valentine requiring him to sign warrant issued by the City Clerk at the order of the Council
 The matter was taken into court on the refusal of Mayor Valentine to sign the salary warrant for the chief of police, ". s. Harding. for the month of April. An alternative writ of mandamus was applied for at once The evidence was introduc- ed and the matter was taken under advisement by Judge Jennings until this morning.
 In making his ruling Judge Jen- nings said in part: ''I can see no reason why Mayor Vnleatine should refuse to sign the salary check It was his duty as Mayor to affix his signature to the warrant and I can see no reason, or no just reason why it was not done. Under the new law the Mayor, while not merely a figurehead in shorn of most of his power He is not even member of the City Council, and the Council
 is the executive body of the city, and not the Mayor"
