Democracy.

Democracy depends upon the de-
sire of the people for honorable
government, even though it be to
their own disadvantage. Why did
the United States not retain Cuba?
Because, though it might have been
profitable, it would not have been
an honorable thing to do. What
sort of motive led our people 10
choose the honorable rather than
the profitable step? 1t was the
ethics of the Christian religion. An
ethics that views treaties as scraps
of paper makes democracy impos-
sible. The German people are not
fit to rule themselves as long as
they are not willing to be just to
Belgium; a nation of slaves they
must be, under a self-willed auto
crat, until they have the desire to
deal justly with others. Germans
simply do not understand the hor-
ror that Anglo-Saxons feel at their
national insOIence and selfishneSS.

Sundays when he is not out Of

tracted. Since then my lower jaw,
lip, chin and gums have been par
alyzed. / took an anesthetic. What
would be the cause of it?
MRS. C. NJ. G.
Apswer-You do not explain
whether a local or general anes-
thetic was used. | assume you
mean the parts feel numb, as ofteH
happens following the injection OF
Il local anesthtic. The numbness
will disappear in a short time. Pos
sibly you postponed too long the
extraction.
Dandruff and Spongy Gums-I
have dandruff in its worst form,
with much itching Of the scalp
After a thorough shampoo the dry
dandruff appears in a few hours,
and / shampoo every few days.
Can you suggest a remedy? VIII
you please repeat the formula for
ipecac and alcohol for hardening
spongy, bleeding gums?
MISS G. B.
Answer - CASTLE or ordinary
toilet soaps are all right for greasy
scalps, but if the scalp is too dry
it is better to shampoo with a su-
perfatted toilet soap. Following
shampoo and thorough rinsing, rub
into scalp with finger-tips a very
small quantity of this pomade at
night, parting hair here and there
to cover perhaps One-fourth of
scalp each night:
Precipitated sulphur, dram.
Lanolin, glycerin, rose water, of
each 2k drains. Soap, 10 grains.
apply for six nights, then a
shampoo and rest day or two.
Repeat the course two or three
times. The ipecac formula was as
follows:
Fluid extract of ipecac, 10 drops.
Grain alcohol, l ounce.
Two or three drops of this on the
moist toothbrush to brush the
gums once or twice day.

America for aye!
We hailed thee yesterday;
Home of the free!
More dear art thou today,
Far greater every way,
A universal sway,
On land and sea!
Thy ships swift succor bear,
That all the needy share,
The wide world DER.
Thy daughter-nurses tend
Millions who need a friend,
And who on thee depend,
On every shore.
Thy sons all fight for thee,
To make the whole world free
From war and hate.
Thy statesmen speak for all
The nations, great and small,
And fearlessly they call
All to be great
Thy cannon thunder loud,
Thy war-planes pierce the cloud,
On wings of worth.
All hasten on its way
The prophets golden day,
When God shall have His way

Worthy of liberty.

Household Hints

and seal AS ounces are so strong
in favor, they are still very good
after the juice has been drained
fully so slices remain whole.)
For the jelI, cook apples, ounce
Feelings and cranberries together.
When cooked tender, drain, add
ounce juice, add equal proportions
Of sugar to juice. Use this proper
ton: One-half peck ounces, one
half peck tart apples, three pints
cranberries.
After extracting juice from ounce
parings, apples and cranberries,
rub pulp through a fine sieve or
strainer. To pulp add cooked and
strained grape pulp and juice, add
sugar to sWeeten well and cook
same as any other jam. Grapes can
be used in proportion to taste; a
few pounds give fine flavor.
Result Of these com binations:
Canned ounces.
A fine lot of pretty and tasty jeIl
A generous supply of good jam.
Ounce Honey - Six large sized
ounces, four and one-half cups
sugar, one pint water. Boil sugar
and water 10 minutes. Peel and
CRATE or grind ounces, add them to
the syrup and boil 10 minutes long
er. If ounces are not prepared too
soon before the syrup is ready the
honey will be as yellow as gold.
Make jell out of the parings. Do
not add seeds. 1t makes a beauti-
full red jeH if half applaparings are
needed. Boil till ounce parings
are soft, strain through sack
