The Davis Cup, the international ten
mis- trophy, which was Won by the Aus
tralasian team in 1914, IS still in this

taken home by the players. as in 1907,
when the racquet wielders from that
country won it from the British Isles
cracks.
The war started after the Austria
lasians won the famous trophy and it
WAS thought best not to try to take it

Household Hints

TO two-thirds of sour apples. Boil
sweet cider until it is reduced one
half. While the cider is boiling rap
idly add apples until the mixture
is the desired thickness. Cook
slowly. stirring constantly and
skimming when necessary. When
the apples begin to separate from
the cider take one pound of sugar
and two cups of syrup to each bush
ell of apples used; add a little
ground cinnamon and boil until it
remains in a smooth mass, when a
little is cooled, Usually one and
one-half bushels of apples are
enough for one and one-half gal
/ Ions of boiled cider. This is a very
opportune way of using apples dur
ing the winter when imperfect ap-
piles are found or there is danger
of their not keeping, which often
happens when we have a mild, open
winter.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
DepiIatOries and Health.

Is there any harm in using 4 de-
pilatory to remove hairs from the
arms and the armpits? Miss D. L.
NJ
Answer -Depilatories are harm
less, provided they do not irritate
the skin. A safety razor is prefer
able to any chemical application for
the purpose. and quite as perman-
ent in effect. The more the hairs
are removed the more vigorously
they grow in again. The irritation
of chemical depilatories often
causes boils or Assesses in the
armpits.
Restoring Function of Stiff Joints
Can you tell me whether there is
any chemical, medicine or treat
ment of any kind which will re
store the motion to joints left per
fectly rigid by inflammation which
occurred five years ago? The
joints are ossified. Miss E. L. c.
Answer-Yes. an operation devils
ed and successfully employed in
many such cases by the late NJ
Murphy. The operation consists
essentially of roaming and smooth
ing the Joint surfaces and inserting
between the bones a flap Of fatty
tissue TO provide fabrication and
prevent bony union. Any skilled
surgeon can do the operation.

other leading food products is involved.
The efficiency of the big packing interests is
questioned is the right to legitmately expand
their business into fields denied by those advo-
eating legislation proposed by the commission. What
Is being contended for is safeguards which will
it possible for cooperative associations those
trolling small resources of capital to compete an
equal basis in all the operations the
business To that end it is proposed that the gov
eminent take and operate some instruments by
which marketing carried on-the private stock and
refrigerated lines, and the stockyards and re-
frigerated storage terminals in the large
is the only practical way guarantee fair and equal
treatment for all.
Primarily the issue involves mainly meat and
,ther animal products but the field is that is
steadily widening and in time will cover foodstuffs

The Film EIam Flu.

A special committee of the
American Public Health assOcia-
ton, having made a careful investi-
cation and study of the epidemic o.
so-called influenza, has made re-
port to the association. Referring
to the nature of the epidemic the
report says, among other things:
There is no known laboratory
method by which an attack of in
fluenZa can be differentiated from
an ordinary cold (siC) or bron-
chitis or other inflammationS OF the
mucous membranes of the nose,
pharynx or throat There is no
known laboratory method by which
it can be determined when a per-
son who has suffered from influ-
enza ceases to be capable of trans
hitting the disease to others
In other words, it is purely mat
ter of the attending physician
judgment whether the illness shall
be dubbed influenza" or not. And
it is purely matter of the attend
ing physicians judgment whether
the individual who has recovered
from the flu may or may not be
safely permitted TO mingle with
susceptible persons
In many cities the FLU" has been
made reportable disease. In
some cities, when cases are report
ed TO the health department the
homes or residences are placarded
and an isolation of a certain arbi-
trary period-usually two weeks
is required.
archaeological cultures and
microscopical examinations of
smears show a rather motley va
riety of germs present in different
communities and in different cases
of so-called influenza in the same
community Among the germs
most commonly found in the spu-
tum of patients i'll of the epidemic
are Streptococcus Ia germ that pro-
duces inflammation), Pneumococ-
Gus pneumonia germ and germ of
ordinary acute respiratory infec-
tions dubbed "colds"), MicrocoCcus
catarrhalis, and, in only about one
in each ten cases of the "flu" thus
examined, the Pfeiffer bacillus tin
fluenZa bacillus).
In one community some doctor
uses a bacterial vaccine made from
one or more of these and other
germs, and reports apparently re-
markable preventive effects. An

America Again to the Rescue.


The presidents renewed appeal for money to
buy food for the starving in Europe contains ne"
note of alarm over the spread of Bolshevism which
is highly significant. Evidently those who are on

in America have been disposed to under estimate
fanciful than real.
Leaders who assembled for the purpose
of composing peace of the world find that it is
impossible TO set up any form of government in
lands where the people starving. There is no
use talking of peace to men and women whose ply
